HP DV6 2030 SD recovery failure

Hello
I have a nearly three year old HP DV6 2030 SD and for several reasons I wanted to reinstall all software. Directly after buying (december 2009) I made the three rescue DVD's and a system recovery DVD, and just to check, I then reinstalled the whole system.
Now installation fails. After loading all files and (re)starting windows, a message is shown that states that current preparation
of driver installation is being done. It then shows the HP recovery manager asking me to insert rescue disc 1. When inserting
it is (apparently) not the right one, since it just continues asking for it.
On pressing "cancel" the next message is that the installation failed and I have to start all over again.
Now I did that 5 times, each time with the same result.
How can I continue, what can I do?
any help is appreciated
best

Hi, Jan:
You should not have anything connected to the notebook as the system image is not designed to recognize any other hardware but that which is inside the notebook.
Sometimes recovery disks just quit working (or don't work in the first place). It is hard to say why.
If you cannot get your disks to work, you can resort to installing a plain version of windows 7 and add the drivers you need from your notebook's support and driver page. This method works most of the time, but you will need to be able to read the product key on the bottom of your notebook.
Here's how to do that.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

Otherwise, you will have to order a set of recovery disks from HP if they are available by reading the info at the link below.

HP Pavilion DV6 Restore/Data Recovery

I'm taking a look at a friend's laptop that was acting up. It refused to connect to the internet and when/ if it ever did the screen would go completely white locking you out of even task mngr. I installed AVG Free and detected a couple trojans. The problem seems resolved. It was working fine with several restarts until Windows detected updates.
After installing the updates and restarting Windows seems unable to display anything past the login background. Booting the windows diagnostic or system recovery leads to the same login background. Neither user account is displayed and there's nothing to do besides a hard shutdown.
I was able to open the HP Advanced System Diagnostics and ran a Start-up Test. It returned a DST failure with a failure ID of 94get9-5086ab-xd0021-60t803. The HDD is a 320Gb WDC WD3200BEKT-60V5T1.
I would love to simply perform a system restore but I have two problems. First, I need a way to back up the important user files. Second, I need a functioning method for performing a restore.
I'm able to boot into Linux from a USB but I can't get the HDD to mount. I don't know if the drive is encrypted or not. If anyone has advice for me on this I'd be grateful cause I'm not sure how to go about it. I don't have any hardware to connect the HDD to another system so I'll need to get the current OS working or find a way to boot to another that can access the drive.
As for the system recovery, since the default method isn't loading, is there something I can download from HP that will boot from a CD or USB? Or, is there another way to perform a restore outside of starting up Windows?
This question was solved.

Hi:
A DV6 would most likely have a W7 Home Premium OS installed.
See if rubbing the product key with a jelly bean works. It does from time to time if the key isn't too obliterated.
If you have a W7 home premium disk already (that you just used for a fresh install), just use the product key from the notebook to activate.
Otherwise, do this...
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river/
If the jelly bean trick doesn't work, you will be forced to purchase a set of recovery DVD's because they don't need a product key to work.

I see the error: ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1

Does oracle have the rights to create that file there?

I have hp pavilion dv6-6080se my recovery removed help

my notebook recovery (pavilion dv6-6080se) removed

Hi,
To get the Recovery Partition back, you would need to perform a 'Factory Reset' using your Recovery DVDs/media - remember to back-up any of your personal files first.
If you don't have these discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.
Order HP Recovery Discs.
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.

HP pavilion DV6 - Factory OS recovery fail

Dear/All
I've little pit serious issue and I wish o receive the answer here.
my Laptop is DV6-2105ee and I formatted the HD fully (I mean recovery partition also deleted) and becomes one partition only with 500GB capacity
Luckly, I have a set of 3 recovery dvds but once I finished the setup of the 3 dvds an error mesage has appeared as follow;;;;;
Recovery Manager could not restore your computer using the factory image.
Pleae contact H support. Error code: 0xe0ef000d
and when I going to restart the device the following msg. coming:
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
FYI : I Bios setting on Default
PLZ
Regards.....

Refrain from the no added value comment. It is not appreciated. This is a volunteer forum.
Answer the questions from the previous post before you ask questions beyond the original one. If you don't answer then I will move on to a thread where someone whom needs help will cooperate in trubleshooting an issue.
If you have anything plugged into a usb port remove it. Do not touch any keys while performing a system recovery.
Why did you ask the questions about the partition types? Did you modify or change the partition types? If you modified the recovery partition to dynamic then a recovery will not work.
Did you make a recovery disk set or a usb recovery media flash disk?

Try reviewing this post to see if any of the information in it helps you as this case sounds very similar. The thread also has a link to a YouTube video that worked for someone.
http://goo.gl/bVrAD
Also, did you try the two methods in this document exactly as they are outlined? As long as there is no underlying hardware issue, it should work.
http://goo.gl/WQb43
You mentioned you tried the pen drive method and it did not work. What exactly did not work about it? Any error messages? What were the exact steps taken?

Hp pavilion dv6 3034nr system recovery

I have a 3 year old HP Pavilion DV6 3034nr Entertainment Notebook having Win 7 home premium installed that I wish to restore to factory settings.I made another partion and changed the drive letters of existing partions. I have either lost or never made system recovery discs. Now how can i do that....

Hi there:
Follow this useful document:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01867418
If the recovery partition in the laptop HDD has been corrupted or removed, then you may not be able to recover to factory using that. But you can by ordering recovery USB from HP directly & using that.

MY HP Paviilion DV6 cant write recovery disks!!!!!!!!!!!

I have Hp DV6-7043cl and i want to create recovery media on 5 disks,, when it prepare the data to be wirte on the first disk says error craeting media,,,,,
what should i have to check to create the media dvds

Normally that happens when generic DVDs are used. I use Verbatim DVD-R DVDs and have never had a problem creating recovery disk sets.
I highly recommend using a usb flashdrive media instead of DVD disks. Flashdrive are far faster, more durable and reliable than DVD disks. All it takes is one scratch on the paper (or label) side of a DVD and it can become unuseable.

Presario recovery failure

Compaq Presario CQ60-212US, Vista OS, 64 Bit. I created a recovery DVD and then ran recovery. After formatting hard drive it attempted to recover files to the original state but failed, giving error code 1002. The same result using my recovery DVD. I ran the hard drive tests - all normal. I downloaded and tried to install the Vista repair file (ISO file) but it would not respond. I also get a message that says BOOTMGR missing. Please advise how I can successfully run a recovery. Thanks.

Did you test your memory?
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/How-to-test-RAM-and-HDD-Hard-Drive/td-p/...
Here is one specific to that error code, but only happens if you backup your files at the start of recovery, I am not sure if this error could happen if you have an external drive connected during recovery but did Not do a file backup.

Partial recovery failure

I am repairing a hp laptop DV7 for a friend, I have the recovery dvd's and drivers dvd
but all I get is a message that the recovery has a partial failure. I can never
get the system restored to factory settings.
I loaded windows 7 64bit pro easily, but I could not get the drivers
loaded because the nic card driver could not be loaded.
What is wrong with this proceedure I thought it was supposed to be
simple? change the boot order to make the dvd drive first
and install the dvds in order.. What is missing from this picture in getting
this DV7 laptop working?
Thanks.

Hi:
This is the link to the support and driver page for the notebook:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=5189529&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&task=&lang=en&cc=us
Like I said, I need the hardware ID's. For example, note the list of wireless network adapters.
You need to know the hardware ID's in order to install the right driver.
Looking at the specs for the notebook, there are some drivers you need that aren't listed on the page.
For example...Chipset which you need to install first and reboot before installing any other driver.
First download is what you need.
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/raid_windows.aspx
Second is video. Install and reboot.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-103171-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...=
I do not know what audio your model has. There could be one of two audio chips installed Conexant or IDT.
Again, that is why I need the hardware ID's so I can post the drivers you need.
Wired Network:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-102406-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...=
How you want to make a folder for these drivers and run them is up to you.
But we can get this done for your friend.

HP Pavilion dv6-6100 se recovery kit

As the computer was purchased in Dubai, you will have to contact HP in that country / region to purchase HP Recovery Media. HP Recovery Media will not be available in the US and can't be sent to the US by HP.

Hi
My notebook recovery disks are missing. How can i download the recovery disk?
Awaiting For Solution
Praveen

Uh....
Sorry but your model doesn't have reocvery disk to order yet.
What you could do is to use a backup software or the preinstalled microsoft backup tool to do a partition like C drive backup.
When your system fails, you could restore it without starting over with factory defult and all that stuff.

Recovery Failure of hp Pavillion dv8 after hard drive replaced.

I have an hp Pavillion dv8 Product VF836AV. Model dv8t-1100 between one and two years old and out of warranty.
The 320 GB Seagate hard drive failed.
I had a local shop install a new hard drive.
I attempted to use an HP DV8-1001XX W764 Dual OS Recovery Kit [2DVD's Super Recovery 588725-001 with Supplemental CD] to get the computer running again.
The Kit envelope says "Please read the instructions before beginning" -- What instructions? All the package said was 'Start with "Changing the Boot Order of the BIOS" '. How?
I simply turned the machine on and loaded the DVD's one by one per the prompts on the screen.
The process seemed to go OK, but at the end it said the recovery failed.
What do I do now?
Thanks for any assistance. ///

Hi,
Assuming you're trying to reinstall Windows 7, there is an easy work around if you have ( or can borrow ) a retail Windows 7 installation disc that is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - ie if your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the exact retail version you would need.
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the underside of your notebook when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
