How to do a Recovery on a HP Mini 110 netbook (WinXP)

Hi,
The product details are:
HP Mini 110-1030CA
Windows XP Home
I can't figure out how to do a recovery on this computer.  There does not seem to be a recovery partition.... for one thing, if I reboot and press the suggested function keys repeatedly (I tried them all, plus ESC),  no recovery console appears.  I am only able to press F10 to get into BIOS settings and there is no recovery option there.
For another thing, if I view the disks in the Computer Management (right-click on my computer -- manage), no recovery partition appears there.
This computer does not have an optical drive, nor do there appear to be any HP Recovery program installed on it.  Nor does there appear to be the Roxio Back on Track thing.
Would this computer have originally shipped with a recovery disc, I don't seem to have one?  If it did ship with one I could use an external optical drive.
Is there an option somewhere that I have missed to download a recovery program to put on a USB flash drive?
Note:  I wouldn't be willing to spend $50 on this computer (or whatever it is) to have some recovery disc shipped by HP, but I would still be curious to know if that is an option.

If there is no recovery partition, then your only option is to purchase operating systems disks or restore disks and use an external optical drive as you were thinking.
If you go to HP's support site, you should be able to type in your product number and pull up a list of drivers available for your laptop. If recovery media is available from HP, in that list will be an option and a link to purchase it.
If you can't find it from HP, I have purchased recovery media for several laptops from www.restoredisks.com and have had good success with them. You simply work through the menus they have to identify your laptop and operating system and at the end they will tell you what it will cost for them to ship the recovery media to you. It looks like the cost here would be $26.99 if you select their standard shipping option. I had to select HP Mini 110-1030nr.
Beisdes these, the only other option is to purchase a retail version of Windows XP (or you could upgrade to Win7 at this point) and complete a fresh install of the new operating system on your hard drive. This would most likely be the most expensive way to go though.

  • Error from Recovery Manager on HP Mini-110 1135CA

    Hi,
    after having a hard disk crash I had to order the Recovery Disks from HP called System Recovery DVD Windows 7 Starter EM and after going through the steps two times, it always fail at the end with error message: "The recovery attempt failed. Select one of the following buttons: Save Log, Details, Retry.
    I chose Retry twice to be sure it was not a external DVD problem or something else.
    I also saved the Log if anyone want to see the log, I have the SRD file generated which is not readable with Notepad or Wordpad. I could send it to you.
    Any one had this or have ideas what makes this error?

    how can i stop recovery in my iphone 4s?  i haven't backit up yet but due to wifi interruption it didn't go through.  can i undo it?

    No you cannot.  If the phone is in recovery mode, all data on it are lost.  However, I'm sure you've been making frequent backups as intended, so you should have minimal data loss.

    how to fix auto recovery crush? Im in deadline. it was my whole day work, pls help..

    Close ID, find the HIDDEN InDesign Recovery folder (It will be next to InDesign SavedData, and you can find the path to that for your OS at Replace Your Preferences ), and empty it, then restart ID normally, not by double-clicking a file.
    If your file was not damaged during the crash, it should open from the File menu at the last saved state. You will lose anything you did to the file since the last save.

  • How To Get My Recovery Partition as i got by default

    Can You please help me ?
    How can i get recovery drive as default and recover to original Factory Installation ?

    When you first setup your computer, your should have created a set of Recovery Discs as recommended by HP. If your computer is still functional and the recovery partition (D: drive) is still intact, you can attempt to set to the "D:" drive as "Active" using the Windows Disk Management console and rebooting the computer. If you are lucky the HP Recovery Manager will boot and guide you through recovering your computer to a factory like state.
    If not, you will need to order a set of HP Recovery Discs from HP or third party vendor ComputerSurgeons.com
    Please send KUDOs

  • In my computer recovery has been deleted so how can i make recovery again in my computer

    how can i make recovery in my computer when recovery has been deleted

    Hi,
    The only way to re-create the Recovery Partition would be to reinstall the operating system using your recovery DVDs - make sure to back-up all your personal files etc first before doing this.
    If you don't have these DVDs, you can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.

    If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
    If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

  • Help!!! How to get the recovery time of transient response of a power supply with Labview basic package without analysis option?

    How to get the recovery time of transient response of a power supply with Labview basic package without analysis option? Does anyone have any idea or some similar function SUBVIs?
    Recovery time of transient response is defined as the time from the beginning of the transient to the voltage point on the waveform fallen into 10percent of the overshoot. Well, the waveform is something like a pulse with a soft slope.

    I recommend plotting your data on a graph on paper. Take a look at the data, and determine what is unique about the point you are looking for. Look for how you can teach your program to look for this point.
    I have written several algorithms that do similar, one in fact being for a power supply, the other being for RPM. Neither algorithm used any advanced analysis tools. They are just a matter of determining, mathematically, when you achieve what you are looking for. Just sit down with your graph (I recommend multiple copies) and draw horizontal and vertical lines that determine when you get to the point you are looking for. You are probably going to have to reverse the array and start from the end, so think in those terms.
    If you have trouble, emai
    l me a bitmap of the graph, and what you are looking for and I will try to be of further assistance. Don't do that however; until you you have given this a few tries. Your solution should be involve a lot of logic on analog levels.
    Good luck

  • Have key ID how do I get recovery key

    have key ID how do I get recovery key

    if this PC OEM, yes, PC manufactured have the best answer
    if you still able to boot to windows you can try using any 3rd party software to retrieve it, find reliable software from your search engine
    if you buy OS via download, you supposed to be have email confirmation with product key on it
    if you buy physical DVD Windows 8.1, you can find it within the box, or if you lost the box, reseller/vendor will help you trace the product key with physical proof of purchase
    but if you lost the product key and not able to boot to Windows, I suggest you contact Microsoft activation to change or find the old key

  • How to exit from recovery mode?

    how to exit from recovery mode?

    You could try a hard reset
    - hold the home button and the sleep/wake button down at the same time
    - the phone will turn off, when the apple logo appears release both buttons
    More than likely after this you will still be in recovery mode. If so then you would need to restore the phone through itunes on a pc/mac.
    Hope this helps
