HELP!!!!!! Need to create recovery disc for hdx laptop in Vista

I have been told by HP that I can create a recovery disc right from my computer. Really ...... please someone tell me where and how. Right now there is nothing wrong with my PC but I have been stupid and forgot to create it previously.
As an added note, so I can vent, my service pak ran out last month, which HP did not remind me of with an email like they alwasy do, and the guy I spoke to was no help with that. He said there was nothing I could purchase now. Also, I was told by more than one person that I had lifetime chat support online ...... well that's a lie too I found out. So, they will not help me at all now!!!!!!!!! The guy also told me the reason I did not probably get an email was becasue the support for this laptop ended in August and it will become obsolete this coming August. That is probably the reason he said. Wow why did I buy a HP computer and not a Dell. When I had my Dell I called like more than 10 years after buying the computer and received phone based technical help on it still and no I did not have an extended warranty at the time. They gave lifetime technical assistant via phone. Looks like I may have to switch back. Sorry HP but my experience has been less than good.

This document should help with the how to part of making the recovery disks.
I have raised your post to the appropriate team for review. Someone should contact you via private message within two days.

How to create recovery discs for HP notebook with preinstalled Windows ?

I Have just bought the HP ProBook 4530s with preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
The notebook was purchased in the hipermarket so that it has no Windows installation discs.
There is a Windows 7 label sticked to the machine.
When I try to use standard Windows 7 procedure:
Start > Control Panel > Backup Your Computer > Create a system repair disc
it shows the error:
System Repair disc could not be created
the parameter is incorrect 0x80070057
How to create system recovery discs ?

Hi BH,
I have read the link you suggested and tried to find HP Recovery Manager at my notebook.
1) I typed Start > Search > "Recovery" but it was not installed.
2) I ran the HP Software Setup to check recommended and optional HP applications. HP Recovery Manager was not there.
3) I downloaded HP Recovery Manager for Windows 7 and ran the installation
I accepted the default folder.
C:\SWSetup\sp45415
It showed an installation form for a while and then completed with no message.
4) I repeated action (1) but no HP Recovery Manager.
5) I checked uninstall menu but no HP Recovery Manager.
Please let me know what to do next ?

How to create recovery disc that have factory default in H320?

Hi I just bought a ideacentre H320. I want to prepare recovery discs, but when I do so, I am only given the option to backup the "current system". I did not see option in such as "Factory Default Recovery Disc" as I see in OneKey Recovery 7.0 (Mine only come with something similar called "Lenovo Rescue System 3.0".
But I don't want to back up the current system, I want to get the recovery disc to have factory image, so when I restore, it will be like I just open the the new pc from the box. How can I do that? (I know you can achieve the same thing through the "Service partition" but what if the harddisk is corrupted and you lost the partition?)
Is there any way to backup the service partition, so when I do something like upgrade Hard drive, I will not loose the ability to return my pc to factory default? Thanks.

Hi fongpwf and welcome to the community,
In figure 14, it says "Create a bootable recovery disc from system backup or factory default image file."
Are you saying that if you click the button to create the recovery discs that it only gives you the option of creating it from the system backup?

Creating recovery disc on compaq cq60-206us with vista

When I attempt to create system recovery discs the system tells me that no discs have been created on this computer which means that I can go ahead and creat the recovery discs. The process I have followed is as followesl. 1. start>all programs>recovery manager>recover manager
2. Advanced options 3. recovery disc creation 4. next The program starts recovering files. When it gets to 2% it automaticly cancels the process. The cancel screen tells me that when I restart the process the program will resume where it left off but every time it goes through the same senerio, not finishing the file recovery. One thing I did the first time I started was to cancel because I had to leave the computer thinking that it would resume where I left off but hasn't happened.

Hello Paskudek,
you are allowed to create one set of recovery media for your system. The tool should be accessible via Start menu: All Programs --> ThinkVantage --> Create Recovery media. The link should point to the `RRMedia.exe'.
I guess you may also ask recovery media from Lenovo.
If none of the aforementioned options applies to your situation, you can perhaps use some disk imaging tool (e.g. Norton Ghost) to create a copy of your recovery partition. Just keep on your mind that the recovery partition needs an appropriate MBR to work properly. (There should be a downloadable tool from Lenovo that can recover MBR.)
Hope that helps.

How to create documents on Mac that are compatible with Windows?

I have just started working in InDesign for a client who uses InDesign and wanted me to learn the program so that they could make changes on their own in the future to documents I create for them. I am working on a Mac OS 10.6.2 They have PCs and are working in a Windows environment. I sent the first packaged dvd for their printer and sent it to them last week. Everything looked beautiful on this end, no errors, packaged with links and fonts. When they received the disc the font files on the disc that looks perfect on my computer-- on their computer all read as 0kb and they can't make it work. I have used truetype, type 1 and open type fonts. I just read something in an earlier discussion about true type and T1 as being problematic with PCs? What can I do to be compatible?

My apologies. I find working in unfamiliar computer systems challenging and after over an hour on the phone trying to help an inexperienced PC user find fonts and find her way around InDesign with which she was even less familiar on a PC, a platform with which I have had no experience in the last 13 years, I was frustrated. My comment was inapropriate to this forum. I do realize that PCs are valuable tools. The computer system one is familiar with is always the best platform there is when in the middle of a complicated job.

How to create recovery disk for windows 8.1 after update from windows 8.

My laptop came with windows 8 and i have recovery discs for windows 8.
Now i've updated to windows 8.1, so i want to creat recovery discs for windows 8.1.
So in future when i use recovery discs i dont have to download windows 8.1 again.
Please tell me if there is any way to do this.....

As colakid posted, in Windows 8 the ability to create a recovery CD/DVD has gone. Your options are to:
create a recovery USB; or
create a recovery image.
Recovery USB
Colakid's post talks you through how to make a recovery USB: from control panel, choose Recovery, then Create a Recovery Drive, and follow the prompts.
However, the 'recovery USB' can be a bit misleading. When the wizard starts, there is an option to 'copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive'. If you do not check this option, you will still need installation media to reset your PC.
Since you have upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, you will probably not be able to check this option, as it will be greyed out (like it is in the picture in Colakid's post).
If you go ahead and create the USB anyway, you will be able to boot to it, but you won't be able to reinstall Windows unless you have the installation media (or possibly a system image, though I haven't tried that).
Recovery image
The recovery image is an image of your computer that Windows will use when you select the 'refresh my pc' option. You can create a recovery image using the recimg.exe tool.
First, open an elevated command prompt (type cmd and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter).
Next, create the recovery image by typing:
recimg /createimage [path]
Where [path] is the folder you want the image in, eg C:\Recovery. You cannot set the file name - it will always be called CustomRefresh.wim.
Let it run its course. When it's done, you can check that it is the current recovery image by typing
recimg /showcurrent
It's important to keep in mind what a recovery image contains. It will have your Windows system files (in their current state), and the desktop apps you have installed (so it makes sense to do this after a fresh install of Windows). It will
not backup any Metro apps or user files, because these are not deleted during a system refresh. If you want a complete backup of everything on your computer the way it is now, you should make take a complete system image (which
can be done from the File History settings in control panel - at the bottom left there will be a 'System Backup Image' option - or you can do it using any other backup software like Ghost or Acronis).
In my case, I created the recover image straight after upgrading to Windows and it was about 6 GB.
Prepare/Create and register an recovery partition, so the option Copy the Recovery Partition becomes available in the recovery drive UI application.
In elevated command run> RECIMG -CREATEIMAGE C:\REFRESHIMAGE<
This will create a new custom.wim in a folder Refreshimage.
Now lets get ready to register the path of the image, so our create recovery drive option(COPY THE RECOVERY PARTITION FROM THE PC TO THE RECOVERY DRIVE) becomes available.
> In the folder you created there will be a> custom.wim<
change it to>INSTALL.wim<
> Create a folder In Cd/directory using Elevated command> mkdir c:\Win8.1-Recovery,>
Win81-Recovery<.
> Copy the INSTALL.WIM. Put in the Win81-recovery folder created.
> Run in elevated commad>REAGENTC /SetOSImage /Path C:\Win81-Recovery\INSTALL.WIM /Index 1<
Do not copy the arrows if using copy and paste, that is my way of pointing out lines of code
Information provided by the link below, thanks Keith. I simplified the process for easy following and added my own tweak from trial and error for the install.

How to create recovery partition in new(changed) HDD.

my new HP pavilion g4 laptop HDD have crased, then I replce it by HP care. I upload original win 7 by recovery disk(DVD) but when I open my computer it shows only one partition (C drive, there is no recovery partition and HP tool.
So how to creates recovery partition by recovery disk(DVD)...........please help me.

Creating the recovery partition
Right-click the start orb, and start 'Disk Management'.
Shrink the C: drive by let's say 20-30GB.
Then create a new Partition and assign the R: label to it and name it RECOVERY.
Then open command prompt as administrator and type: 'recimg /createimage <directory>',
In this case: 'recimg /createimage R:\' to save it on the new partition.
This step may consume a lot of time.
Now we need to register the newly created recovery image: 'recimg /setcurrent <directory>'
'recimg /setcurrent R:\'
Voila you are done.
Restoring from recovery partition
You may want to use this restoring method by default, because it is the easiest way to do so if your recovery partition is still intact. If not, look at the other recovery methods to see which suits you best. This is usually the way you reset or refresh your Windows installation if you purchase a computer from a brand like Lenovo instead of building one yourself
Press the Windows-key + C to open the charms bar or swipe in from the right.
Click Settings.
Click Change PC Settings.
Click Update & Recovery in the menu on the left.
Click Recovery.
If all your documents are safe and sound in your user folder, you can use Refresh your PC without affecting files. However I still recommend taking a back-up... If you want to do a complete reinstallation of Windows and also clean your user folder in the process then choose Remove everything and reinstall Windows.

"Recovery partition not found" when trying to creat recovery discs.

I received the following error message when trying to create recovery discs for the first time "recovery partition not found" HP G61 401SA Notebook and it is a couple of years old and has windows 7 as th OS.
I specifically purchased DVD-R discs for the disc creation, which was advised from HP site was the only disc suitable.
Am I doing something incorrect or is there an issue?
Is this why I am unable to also create a back up - are the two things related?

I did not know you are volunteer helpers - thanks goodness for people like you as trying to contact HP support for help was impossible and seemed like I kept going around in circles. No worries. We are here to help.
One more thing, could you advise on how much space the recovery might be approximately - I will need to make sure a USB has enough memory available. Take another look at the disk management window. The partition sizes are visible in the descriptions. My HP loaner has a large recovery partition at >20GB. That mean I had to use a 32GB usb flash drive Most others are smaller and a 16GB usb flash drive will suffice.

Unable to create recovery disc, after burn failed to verify

I had tried thrice to create recovery disc in DVD but every time MSG comeing some error is there unable to verify
Kindly Help
Regards
Manish

Recovery partition is meant to be used on a working system, it can however be used in a different manner but is difficult for most people unless you are a computer geek of sorts.
See this thread on how someone used the files from the restore partition to recover to a new hard drive, you would need another working Windows PC to do this.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and/Another-System-Restore-question/m-p/1945...
If you call HP on the phone they can verify for sure if they have the recovery discs or not.
If they do not, you can purchase them here

How to create recovery media

I have a new Satellite A665 Notebook. I´d wish to create recovery discs to have in case my hard disk crashes.
But I do not know how to do it. I can't find any recovery utility to do the job.
Can you tell me how to fulfill this?
Thanks in advance.
Gabriel.

I used 4 DVD-R discs. They were on sale - 25 DYNEX discs for $7.
Go to: start/all programs/my toshiba/toshiba recovery media creator
Insert your 1st disc.
Select create and follow the prompts.
Label your discs with a disc marker - recovery disc 1, recovery disc 2, etc. or whatever you'll remember.
store them into individual envelopes or shells and put them in a safe place.
BTW: If your hd "crashes" you'll need a new hd.
