Factory recovery dvds will not work. hp g62t vu636av

windows 7 home premium 64bit
it's been so long i dont remember how/when this started. it was either a windows update or a hp total care update, after the update my computer would load the hp logo bios screen then would either say boot mgr missing or no bootable device. i got out my factory recovery dvds and ran them. it would read the disksload the files but when writing them onto the hdd it would stop at 12% i tried it a number of times with the same result. then i found a win7 disk of the same release, loaded a fresh copy of win 7 and it worked great. then my computer did a few updates and the exact same thing happened, no bootable device, etc. called hp customer care. they decided i needed new recovery media. did not work. same 12% result. hp decided it was a hdd issue. they sent me a new hard drive, and new recovery media. same 12% result with new hard drive and new recovery media. i have no idea what to do now. help.

If all has been replaced except the system board then it is time to contact warranty services again.

The phone won't even reset.. when i try and reset EVERYTHING on the phone the apple logo with the progress bar starts to come up but the progress never moves.. PLEASE help me.. I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.

Warning to iPhone users. Do not start the update of the iPhone software using iTunes.
Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

HP System Recovery DVD is not working

I've downgraded my HP 15-e0001ed from W8 to W7. I removed EVERYTHING from Windows 8, including the recovery partition en I did not make a recovery disk/back up (or something else) to eventually restore my OS to W8.
During the use of W7, i noticed that the fan was blowing really loud. I checked the HP website, and i noticed that all the drivers weren't compatible with W7. I installed some of the drivers anyway, but the problem with the blowing fan seems still there now and then. I then downloaded the ISO file from this topic and this is an evalution version of W8, which can be used for 90 days. I still want to use my 'original' W8 version, so I ordered a System Recovery DVD set.
When I insert the disk I can only open the content of the disk, but there is no autorun file or something like that. I then loaded the DVD's from the system recovery mode (when you press ESC during the start up of the laptop en you have the option to go to the BIOS). When the DVD then loads, I get the following error message:
This computer is not supported bij de System Recovery Media. You will not be able to continue to recover this system with these Media.
Error: 0130-ABH-UUW.
Anyone knows what to do to get the recovery disks to work?
Thanks!

Re: fan blowing loud all the time.. check in the BIOS in system configuration to ensure that the fan always on option is not enabled.
Is the wireless led shown as being enabled? (white=enabled amber=disabled) It needs to be enabled
You should be able to boot from disk one of the set. If that is not possible when you have selected the DVD as the first item in the boot list by using the F9 key then contact HP. The disk set may be faulty.

My Recovery discs will not work in my 5005-S504

Good afternoon everyone. I have a toshiba 5005-s504. I got a virus, and decided to use my recovery discs to reload. It started to relaod, and took approximately a half hour. When I tried to reboot, the entire drive was gone. Nothing at all. So I decided to put the recovery discs in again. It starts, and about 1minute in, I'm getting a ghost message reading "Error accessing file. Please check media and retry." I hit enter, and another error comes up "Error 11000. Invalid dump. If this problem persists please contact Toshiba support..."
Any suggestions..... PLEASE!

you can contact your phone carrier and see if they have the building antennas. you can setup this in your office etc and it grabs the signal. but i know they are not cheap but don't know any pricing. contact your carrier.

Hi, I have connected my iPhone 5 to iTunes, backed it up and then started the update but there was a problem, now my phone will not work, it asks to restore factory settings which I have tried 3 times, each time it says the device has an unknown error.

Same thing happened with my iPhone 4S - no one is any help. Thanks Apple for such a crappy update! I've called Apple, they say the SIM card needs replacing, I go to my service provider they tell me nothing wrong with the SIM card - provider tells me I now need a new phone. Sheesh! If someone has a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated.

There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

I bought the external DVD player/burner for my Macbook. I tried using it with my Dell laptop but it will not work. Is it not configured to work with anything but apple operating systems?

If you purchased the Apple USB SuperDrive, it will only work with select Apple devices. It won't work, for example, on my Late 2011 model that has a SuperDrive built-in, but it will work with an Air, Retina model, new 'drive-less' iMacs, etc.
As far as I know, though, you can only hack the drive to work with some other Apple devices, but not with Windows PCs. Which is a shame as other, less expensive DVD/CD devices will work with just about any machine.
Sorry,

I have a couple of problems with my Macbook pro:
1. it will not recognise any devices all of a sudden i.e my camera
2. DVD player will not work and keeps coming up with an error message.
please help

Help us help you by posting more info:
MacBook Pro variant and screen size (there have been many since the MBP was introduced 8 years ago)
Mac OSX version
If the DVD failure with burned disks or commercial DVDs? Will it mount a commercial CD?

Windows media player will not work as no DVD driver

Had to format disk (trojan) & reinstall Windows XP home. Now Windows media player will not work as no DVD Driver, can I download from Toshiba site?

Hi
Usually the Windows media Player is not able to play DVD movies IF no plug-ins were installed.
To watch DVD movies you can use the programs like WinDVD or PowerDVD.
Such programs were designed especially for the DVD playing!
But you can also visit the Microsoft website and search for plug-ins for Windows Media player.
Then you could download and install it to play DVD with WMP
Best regards

Do you have a friend with an Intel Mac. If your MacBook and their Mac have firewire ports you can install by Target Disk Mode. You'll need a retail version of SL to do this with any Mac other than a MacBook.
Start up your friend's Mac with your install disk. After you get to the install screen on your friend's Mac connect your MacBook to your friend's Mac in "Target Mode"with a firewire cable http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Then open "Disk Utility" from the "Utilities Menu" on the Menu Bar from the install disk on your friend's Mac. You should see both your MacBook and your friend's Mac hard drives in there. Erase and partition your MacBook drive and then choose that drive when you go back to the install screen. Or install over your existing OS on your drive if you have applications you want to keep.
The only other way is to buy an external DVD drive on eBay. http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=firewire+external+dvd+drive&_sacat=0&LH_BIN=1&_ sop=15&_dmpt=Apple_Laptops&_odkw=usb+external+dvd+drive&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286. c0.m270.l1313 or at MacSales http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/optical-drives/
And of course be sure your Macbook meets the system requirements. To upgrade to Snow Leopard or install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor.
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing.
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended).
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer.
At least 5 GB of disk space available.

You will need to contact the movie studio that produced the DVD and ask if they can issue you a new code valid for Canada. Apple cannot help you, and everyone here in these forums is just a fellow user.

HT201412 ipad screen will not slide. Tried resetting and a factory reset but still will not work.

ipad screen will not slide. Tried resetting and a factory reset but still will not work.

I have the same issue on my Ipad Air. Screen will not rotate, I have reset the settings, still only displays in the portrait mode. A couple of interesting things though. a couple of days before it completely locked up into portrait I would have to turn the ipad off and hold it in the orientation I wanted because it would not change orientation after I was in an app.
Also, I just played a Netflix video and it was in landscape mode.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Updated my HP Laptop to Windows 8 and now DVD driver will not work. Help!

I have a Hp Pavilion dv-7013cl Entertainment PC and everything was working perfectly. I updated to Windows 8 about a month ago and had some problems. I then did a clean install of Windows 8 and now all the bugs are fixed except my DVD drive will not work.
I insert a DVD or CD and nothing happens. I go to My Computer and click on it and it just ejects the DVD. I don't know what to do and need my DVD drive.
Also, I tried to go to device manager and reinstall the driver but that didn't help.

(Resolved) Windows 8 - Recovery Discs Do Not Work With New Hard Drive

Update:
I decided to buy drive cloaning software. I cloned my drive, that resolved the problem of installing the OS on the new drive. Too bad neither HP's Restore disc's or this support fourm could help with this issue.
Origional Post:
Product Name: HP Pavilion G4-2235DX
Product Number: C3Q50UAR#ABA
BIOS: Insyde F.26, 2/21/2013
Processor: AMD A6-4400M APU w/ Radeon HD Graphics, 2700 Mhz, 2 Core(s)
BIOS Mode: UEFI
SMBIOS Version: 2.7
RAM: 12GB
Operating System: Windows 8 - 64bit (6.2.9200 Build 9200)
Situation: I purchased this computer new as a refurbished model from a retail store. I created system restore discs after initial setup using the HP Recovery Media Creation Utility. This system has a 500 GB hard drive. I purchased a Western Digital 1 TB hard drive to upgrade the drive in this notebook. After swaping out the drives and trying to load the recovery onto the new 1TB hard drive in the same computer, an HP dialogue so states "This PC is not supported by the System Recovery Discs. You will not be able to continue to recover this system with these discs." It gives a code (doesn't call it an error code) 0110-C3150UQ43#ABA underneath and only option is okay, the system reboots and follows the same pattern again and again.
I have upgraded drives in the past on Vista and 7 the same way using self created HP recovery discs with no issue, I do know what i'm doing. I've seen discussion mentioning BIOS issues and other such problems. I did try updating the BIOS to the one on the HP Support page (2013-03-01 , Version:F.26, 7.76M) and the recovery discs still will not work. I found the CyberLink Recovery Discs Utility thread, however this solution/software has no support for Windows 8. I have tried to run the utility and it fails, tried with compatiabity and it failed. Why is this happening and what can be done to resolve this problem?
I tried using chat support but it won't let me get through to anyone, claiming my warranty is expired. I just bought this computer 3 days ago and was assured a 90 day warranty.
Please help, Thanks.

Hey Joe907,
Thanks so much for posting your experience and using the Forum. I came across this thread in my research for another thread. The information you provided helped me confirm my suspicions.
I wanted to mention to you, if you want, you can have this post marked as solved by hitting Reply to your original message and just post your update:

in the Reply and click Post. Then you'll have an "Accept as Solution" button on your second post. Click that "Accept as Solution" button on your second post and the thread will be marked as solved. By being marked as Solved, the thread will be much higher in Google search results and it will more likely to help others. Not sure if you're concerned about it, but you'll also get the credit for authoring a solution.
Also, I wanted to apologize for the customer service issues you had. I hope that everything is working well with the computer now. Of course, if it's not, let me know. I'll be glad to help in any way I can.
Information on the warranty:
Refurbished computers are often erroneously marked as out of warranty, but it is simple to fix, and a phone representative could have corrected that for you. All computers' warranty start dates begin on the day they leave the factory. HP knows that there will be a period where the computer will sit on a shelf (for days or months) at the retailer. With refurbished computers, their 90-day warranties begin on the day they are refurbished. HP has no way of knowing what date the customer will buy the computer so the warranty start date stays the same until the customer registers the computer providing the date of purchase for the warranty system to be updated. If the registration process fails for some reason (rare, but it happens), phone technical support has a process they can initiate to have the warranty corrected. They only need a copy of the receipt showing the date of purchase.
I hope this information helps! Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks again for you post!
