Shubham_ringne,
I just tried a Windows "REFRESH" on my HP 13 Split x2 that came with Window 8 and was upgraded to 8.1 . After clicking REFRESH, Windows stated "Window 8.1 would have to be reinstalled after the Refresh". Additionally, Windows advised that some software, apps, and drivers would need to be reinstalled after the refresh. The Windows "REFRESH" returned the computer to Windows 8. Please see Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8) to start the "REFRESH" process.
The HP Recovery partition should not have changed and should contain the original Windows 8 factory image. Once you have refreshed your computer and it is back to Windows 8, you be able to follow the instructions in Creating Recovery Discs or Saving a Recovery Image to a USB Flash Drive (Windows 8) to create you Windows 8 HP Recovery Media.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Unable to make Windows recovery disk - HP Envy 15 - Windows 8.1

While Windows is booting well, it seems I have to do a recovery.
On booting and pressing F11I get the message
Your PC needs to be repaired. A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.
Error code 0xc0000225
On the other side when I try in Windows "Create a recovery drive" I got a message on the second page telling me
"Some necessary files are missing ..." and that's it!
How to proceed ???

You need to either ask a friend who has the very same Windows 8.1 version if you can make a usb Windows 8.1 recovery flash drive. You should be able to fix the error with it. You can purchase recovery media from HP.

K430 with OneKey 4.0 has no option to make a recovery disk

What are my options on this machine to make a recovery disk and backup in case of a hard drive failure? Also noticed OneKey 4.0 won't recognize external hard drives greater than 1TB. Why?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Ajssinc,
I understand your concern. Hence, the best way to backup is by backing up your personal data stored in the computer and then “Create a USB recovery drive” using a flash drive which contains only the OS (Operating System) backed up files.
Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards

I am trying to install Lion on my imac and it says it can't make a recovery disk

I am trying to install lion and receive a message saying it can't make a recovery disk. I am using a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. I do have bootcamp on it, but was never able to install Windows.

What happens when Lion installs is it creates a Lion Recovery Partition at the very bottom area of the drive, this is used to Command R boot into and perform Disk Utility Repairs and reinstall Lion from Apple's servers much like a 10.6 disk will.
So when you ran the Lion installer, it couldn't create this small partiiton, either because the GUID partition table (the map of your paartitions on the drive) is borked or there is data all the way to the bottom of the drive or OS X thinks there is.
You set up the bootcamp parittion, so run that and delete the Bootcamp partition as your not using it or Windows, once it's finished reboot and try installing Lion again.
I should warn you, Lion will not run your Rosetta based software or hardware drivers for external hardware, you may have to purchase all new versions. Not only that, hardware drivers may not be available for 10.7 thus rendering your third party printers, scanners etc useless.
Before you install Lion, you should consult this web page
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
to see if your current programs will break and when to expect a new version (likely paid)
Also you shoudl check your hardware and the makers site if there is a 10.7 compatible driver/software for them.
And once you think your ready to go to Lion, get a blank external powered drive and a free/donationware copy of Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your present (non-Filevault) 10.6 boot drive to the external drive.
Later if 10.7 doesn't work for you, simply hold the option key and boot off the 10.6 clone, use Disk Utility to Erase the entire drive (the whole drive!) and reverse clone 10.6 back onto the internal drive.

Wouldn't make a recovery disk

How do I make a recovery disk after my laptop won't turn on without one?
All this started after I downloaded an update from AVG.
I still have a warranty til March of 2014. I'm not very good at computers and need help.

Barb,
If you can get the computer to boot into Safe Mode, you might be able to use System Restore to take the computer "back in time" to a date before the computer had the problem.
Restoring Windows to a Previous Point (Windows 7
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
Windows 7:
System Restore in Safe Mode:
Completely shut down the notebook.
Restart… As soon as the notebook starts to boot,
Keep clicking on F8 until you enter the Windows Recovery Console
Find and Select "Safe Mode" > Enter
Windows 8:
If the system knows it is in trouble it may start in Recovery Mode (F11 at boot):

Understand that your best bet, if they are available for your system, is to get and use the HP recovery set. The discs from HP include all your original programs and HP setup that was included when the computer was new.
If you use the ISO method, you must then go to your Computer's webpage to download and install your drivers (use only those drivers and software for your system hardware). Check your Control Panel > icon view > Device Manager to find a list of the drivers (like wireless driver).

How do I make a recovery disk for my Mac running 10.5.8?

You will only know about the hard drive when you try to access it in TDM from your other computer. If you cannot boot into TDM mode or if the drive does not appear on the new computer's Desktop then it is likely bad.
What you are thinking about as a recovery disk is the Recovery HD normally created when you install Lion or later on the computer. You boot from it as follows:
Boot Using Command+R keys:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.

In my macbook pro retina 15 inch there is installed mavericks but ı want to create recovery disk and ı need to download mavericks from App Store but it doesn't download??

Hey guys ı really need your help. I bought macbook pro retina 15 inch 2 weeks ago and it came with installed mavericks of course but ı want to create a recovery disk and to do that ı need to download mavericks installer from app store but when i click to download mavericks from appstore purchased part ı get a message says " Your purchasing process couldnt complete. OS X Mavericks cant be installed to this computer." How can ı solve this problem!??

One way around tis is to borrow a Mac that can run Mavericks and then the download will work. You can use these instructions:

I'm trying to re-install mountain lion 19.8.2 from a recovery disk and get an error when it's trying to verify my computer with Apple, any idea what's wrong?

I'm trying to reinstall mountain lion 10.8.2 from a recovery disk and I get the following error when I goes to verify my computer with apple,
An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again. Can anyone help?

Well, I'm trying to figure out how you're doing this from a recovery disk. The only way to reinstall Mountain Lion is through the Recovery HD in the computer. Hold Cmd/R as you are starting up the computer and keep holding it. Eventually you'll get a screen asking you to select the language. Hit continue to select english and you'll get a Mac OS X Utilities Menu with the second option down being reinstall OS X.

Could not click on anything in Recovery disk and log in screen, but I can move the cursor around. Using 10.8, not sure what's wrong, anyone have an idea?

So the problem is, I cannot click on anything in the Recovery Disk and Log in screens (to enter your password), but I can move the cursor. My trackpad works fine everywhere else except for these screens. If I connect a USB mouse, I am able to click on things in these screens.
NOTE: I am not just tapping, I am really clicking on the trackpad.
I recall some time ago when this wasn't happening, not sure if that was when I was on Leopard. I sort of suspect 10.8.x, but I'm not too sure.
Has anyone else experienced this? Would appreciate help. Thanks!

Try an SMC reset. The article covers when this is required, but doing this will not affect anything.

Usually you need a compatible and supported external drive which should be recognized by BIOS.
PS: On the recovery CD you will find only the image files and not a completely OS.

Help. Buy recovery disks and I have not the order number.
