How to use the recovery DVD's

Hello,
I have the Hp Pavilion Dv3-4305se, which has the Windows 7 home premium 64-bit Edition.
I have the revocery DVD's but i didn't know how to use them.
1-the F11 doesn't work. it doesn't give me HP recovry, it direct me straight to the users page.
2-when i used F9, it says that no Disc was found.
And those DVD's worked before, i tested them before i got them from HP supprt center in my country.
Please help.
Regards,

Hello,
Yes, i tried those steps before, but it doesn't work.
You need to know that my recovery partition stopped working, and i had to order the recovery DVD's.
And in the main while i installed a hacked Windows 7 proffessional instead of Windows 7 premium.
and the ive got 3 recovery DVD's each one is a CD of 8.5 GB.
I hope those informations would help you to understand the situation that i have been suffering from for 2 months eactly.

NB500: How to use the Recovery DVD without a DVD drive in the netbook?

Background:
I have a Netbook NB 500 which came with a Win7 Starter. I upgraded to Win8 but didn't like it as the screen resolution wsn't high enough to open Apps. As the system became slower and slower over time, I decided to reset the unit back to original settings using the Win8 function.
The progress on this process was extremely slow and after seven hours (about 60% done) I got a fright that the content of my HDD might be copied somewhere onto the web (NSA cloud? :) ) .
I switched the unit off and from there nothing would work anymore. I bought recovery software with WIN7 Starter from Toshiba Support as I couldn't find an ISO file for WIN7 starter, but it arrived on a DVD...
I do have:
+ NB 500
+ Toshiba Recovery DVD
+ Bootable USB stick (I created this)
+ Product Key for Win7 Starter
Question:
What files are necessary in order to install Win7 from scratch (move files from DVD to bootable USB stick)?
Will this procedure delete the old data from HDD or will it still take up space?

It is not simply as you think it is. As far as I know you cannot manipulate recovery data and work on your own bootable media.
Best and simplest way for you is to obtain somewhere external USB ODD and use it for recovery image installation. I have NB520 and I have bought external BD ODD and can use it for different actions like software installation for instance.
Im really wondering you didnt create recovery USB stick. It was my first step after I bought this machine. Product key that you have on Microsoft sticker is useless. You cannot use it for OS installation if you use own OS version and you dont need it if you use original recovery image.
After recovery image installation preinstalled Windows version will be properly activated.
> Will this procedure delete the old data from HDD or will it still take up space?
Yes. The whole HDD will be deleted so before you start with recovery image installation back-up all your important data.

I am unclear how I have to use the Recovery CD

I have added up all the space my hard disk is using it comes to about 12GB, I have 27.9 GB disk space but my disk only has 1.80 disk space left. I have done everything obvious to resolve this problem. Recycle bin is empty, I have run disk clean up.
A computer expert suggested that Windows could have become confused and cannot recognize what space I have spare, this could be because I have run a program called Cyberscrub often. His solution was to reload Windows XP home. My laptop came with recovery disks, everything else already loaded. I have so much I do not want to lose on my laptop. If I use the recovery disks, will I lose everything on my computer, am I best to buy Windows XP home and re-load, in which case will I not lose my work?
Also I am unclear how I use the recovery discs, I cannot find any instructions on what you do.
The one person who could help me has gone off traveling and not contactable.
Any help greatly appreciated

Hello,
what kind of programs do you have on your harddisk? Maybe a little description of your System will help us further. You mentioned, that you have a Program called Cyberscrub. Is this Program showing you your diskspace? Check this out! This program is, as i know, usually intended to wipe harddisks or files.
Maybe you can try some Registry cleaner that cleanes out some information which is showing you wrong information that is corrupted by Cyberscrub. Maybe this helps.
Another suggestion: run the program "chkdsk". This program will check out your filesystem on errors. Maybe it can fix that problem. You can run this program with right-clicking on the symbol of your systemdisk, clicking on "extras" and choosing the "Checking on errors" or something like.
At all events, when this fails, then you dont have to buy a new XP Home. You dont need it because you have already one on a recovery cd, and you can solve that easily.
You have to write down which programs you have in your system and backup your important data with a backup program or just burn it to a dvd or cd. You have the option to put the whole system on a mobile Harddisk connected over USB. This means backing up your system to this harddisk.
After that, you have to boot with the recovery-cd, by pushing the "c" button at boot time.
Then you follow the instructions and reload the "factory-like-installed" Windows XP on your Harddisk. Dont forget: all your data on the system disk will be erased, and the corrupted information of the free diskspace too. After that you just put the backup of your data back to your systemdisk and reinstall the programs you noted before the re-install of your system. Then the system will be clear again.
Let me know about the activity of your problem.

Using Win7 Recovery DVDs to bring Satellite L850-1C9 to "Out of the Box"?

Hi,
I am trying to use the recovery DVDs for my Satellite L850-1C9, PSKDLE, to return my HD to the original condition.
Even though the hidden partition was there, I always got errors, for instance F3-F200-0002.
But this was not the only one.
I am at present time, wiping the HD to give it the appearance of being a replacement HD, that takes about 5hours.
I am unable to identify any online docs about how to correctly use the DVDs.
Can anyone give me a link as I appear to be using the wrong search argument on my Android Tablet.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards
Andy

Hi
If you would use the Recovery DVD for system recovering, the hidden partition isnt very important in such case. Why? Because booting from the Recovery DVD would start the recovery process and would format the HDD and delete all partitions.
During this recovery process, the deleted partition would be created again.
The question is now: why does the error message appear?
It could be related to Recovery DVD issue. Did you already recover the notebook using the Recovery disk in the past? If its the first time trying to use these recovery disks then probably the disks have not been created properly.
At the other hand it could be possible that your HDD malfunctions and therefore the recovery process interrupts.
So from my point of few you need to check both cases.

How to use the dvd drive...?

Hi Guys,
Just bought my new 15" 2.53 Mhz Duo Core MacBook Pro a month ago but until now I haven't figured out how to use the DVD drive. Well I can't seem to find where it is actually... Does all MacBook Pro has dvd drive? Coz when I check back apple's website and look for the same macbook pro specification like my one, it has a dvd drive included so I thought my macbook has it for sure but can't or don't know how to use it... This is my first time to have an apple that's why...
Hoping for your help..
Thanks,
Danny

Hi there Danny.
I believe you are looking for the location of the DVD drive... right?
If you are looking at your computer while it is open, it should be on the right hand side... "under" the keyboard. There is a slit that allows the DVD to be inserted into the computer. I think if you start to insert a DVD in there (shiney side down) part way, it will suck it into the computer.
(note: I'm not exactly sure, because I use a 7 year old iBook that has a pop-out DVD tray... but I think it will suck it in for you)

Using the recovery disc

I seem to have a virus on my computer, i cant get rid of and i just wanna use the recovery disc to refresh everything back to normal. I was just wondering if using the recovery disc was a complicated process and how long does it take?

its easy. tap F12 when turning it on to boot from CD/DVD. Make sure to insert the Recovery CD before pressing enter. It will load windows files. Always choose the first option on the process.
It usually takes an hour or so.

How to install the Recovery Catalog

How to install the recovery catalog? I used the following commands from the menu and it didn't work:

There is no catrman.sql exists.

Re: Is it possible to completely recover VistaOS using only Recovery DVD?

Hidden WinRE partition was deleted by mistake but I still got the original Recovery DVD for my A200.
Is it possible to completely recover VistaOS without the WinRE partition, using only Recovery DVD?

Of course.
The Toshiba Recovery CD was designed to recover the notebook.
Using the recovery CD you will get the factory settings.
But note; the Toshiba recovery CD formats the whole HDD and erases the partitions from the HDD.
