  • Hp pavilion dv6 recovery fails

    hey everyone first post on the forum
    i have an hp pavilion dv6 that came with 64 bit windows 7 home premium installed. i tried to dual boot Ubuntu with it and ended up overwriting windows. lots more story but i ended up calling hp and ordering recovery discs for my laptop. i then zeroed my hard drive and ran the 3 recovery discs. it prompted my supplemental disc which I inserted. all went well until the "setting up for first use"screen appeared. hp software began installing stuff the during the drivers part it comes up with recovery failed. i ran without the supplemental disc and it did the same thing. someone please help

    Hi,
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 character Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    Assuming that this is just a problem with the Recovery process, there is a straight forward work around.
    Create a retail installation disc yourself - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same as the version you currently have )  from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label 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.

  • HP pavilion dv6 Recovery Partition include preinstalled programs?

    Product Name : HP Pavilion dv6-6009tx Entertainment Notebook PC
    Operating System installed : Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
    hi, I bought my dv6 laptop from my polytechnic (Singapore), and it came with microsoft office 2010 pre-installed.. Because after a year of usage, the laptop has became a bit slow, so i was thinking of doing a system recovery with the recovery partition included in the laptop. I wish to ask if the preinstalled softwares (microsoft office 2010, visual studio 2010, visual studio 2008, etc) are included in the system recovery image?

    is there no way to contact hp support in singapore? because the helpdesk seems to be situated in India, and they have no idea what softwares are installed for laptops that are bought through schools.. and I can't seem to find a correct number which is local. i chose the country as Singapore, but the number I call is forwarded to India helpdesk...
    EDIT:
    in the "swsetup" folder, there are alot of programs, the drivers, etc that are preinstalled by HP, but there is no Microsoft Office 2010 and other softwares that is provided by the school included..

  • Hp pavilion dv6 recovery system with win 7 dvd image not found

    Hello everyone, I have a hp pavilion dv6 I going to restore the operating system win 7 that I previously saved in an image of the system in 2 DVDs. I need to restore the entire computer because I do not want to lose all installations made within a year , including software installations regularly purchased online which do not have the original CDs . I tried to go in :
    1 - "Backup and Restore Computer"
    2 - Control Panel and select the " Restore system settings or your computer "
    3 - then " advanced recovery methods "
    4 - next page select " Use a system image you created earlier to recover your computer "
    5 - At this point it asks me to do a backup, but I do not care because the computer is pretty much with the factory settings as has just returned from assistance hp and after ignoring the message I restart the computer in recovery mode expecting to reinstall the system with the image .
    After a series of steps at the time to reload the image from the second DVD that I had previously saved , the computer can not find even one image to be restored where am I wrong?
    Thanks Acitano

  • Dv6 recovery disc

    Hello!
    I have been on the phone with HP (2+ Hours) with no success. I purchased a HP DV6 in Dubai: Product #A7M81EA#ABV.

    Hi, Steve,

  • HP DV6 recovery discs

    My son left my xd card in my HP DV6 laptop last night. He shut it down, and when it was turned back on the laptop goes into a recovery start program. It turns off and goes right back into it when I turn it back on. I have two recovery discs for the laptop that were created when I bought the computer. I put in the first disc and rebooted. It won't read the disc. The recovery start program keep going on. How do I get the laptop to recognize the recovery disc?

    Did you remove the xd card?
    Disconnect all external; devices from the notebook
    Shut down the notebook, Disconnect all external; devices from the notebook, disconnect AC and remove main battery, hold the power button down for 30 seconds.
    Connect AC only, see if it will boot normally.
    HP recovery will wipe all your personal data,

    Hi, Steve,

  • Dv6 recovery attempt fail windows 7 (64)

    I'm trying to recover my Dv6-6135dx (windows 7-64 bit) using the 3 HP provided recovery DVDs. The recovery process almost completes until I get the "recovery attempt failed" message. I've retried several times. So far I've tried to do a hard reset, set the system date to 2012, and resetted the BIOS to default settings. I read in several forums on this topic that the wireless needs to be turned on in order for the recovery to be successful. However, the light on my keyboard for the wireless adapter stays orange even though I try and turn it on. Can can anyone offer help so I can get my laptop up and running? Thanks!

    If you can read the 25 character Microsoft Windows 7 license key, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD or USB flash drive. The version  must match version that came installed on your PC as  listed on the Microsoft COA sticker attached to bottom of laptop. Such as Windows Home Premium.
    Link to the Windows 7 ISO file downloads:
    http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325/
    You can use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to convert the ISO file you download. Link and instructions below. You need a  DVD+R or DVD -R . Or a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method.
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool#installation
    Use the 25 character key on the COA to activate the installation.
    Next go to your support and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  • Dv6 recovery from command prompt

    I have HP pavilion dv6 3052ee . with windows 7 preinstalled .it has 3partitions on its hard disk ... Drive c 444 GB for windows and my files . drive D is called recovery . and drive E is called HP tools .
    I tried to install win 8.1 from a USB memory . but it just keeps restarting before it even reaches the desk top . so I decided to go back to windows 7 . but before I start the recovery by pressing f 11 on start up I started the command prompt . and typed " format c: /fs:NTFS   " and pressed enter . but it didn't format drive c .. It formatted system drive before drive c . then I tried to push f 11 on start up but it didn't start recovery .. It tried to start win 8.1 and kept restarting in a circle as usual .
    My question .. Is there any way to start the recovery on drive D from the command prompt ?

  • New Hard Drive for HP DV6 & Recovery Issues

    Greetings everyone...  Happy Holidays to all!  
    As luck would have it, on the first day of the Holiday break, my wife's laptop hard drive decided to go on strike - luckily, I could mount the hard drive on another system and get most of the files off that were needed.  In replacing the hard drive and doing my research on the web and on these forums, it appears there is a fair amount of disparity between those having success and complete failure when running the recovery disks after a hard drive failure and, thus far, I am in the second camp (not going as smoothly as advertised).  As a side note, I created the recovery disks from the system upon receiving it and the disks were verified as part of the creation process as being 'good.'
    I am working on an HP Pavillion DV6t, product number XC100AV that originally shipped with a WD Scorpio Blue 640GB drive (WD6400BEVT, 5400 rpm).  We have had this system about 13-14 months (just past that 12 month warranty period) and the system is very lightly used (nightly facebook'ing is about as strenuous as this system has worked).  Since I have a high degree of experience and confidence in working with computers, I didn't have any reservations in going down to the nearest electronics retailer and picking up a new drive to put into the machine.  I picked up a Seagate Momentus XT drive (500GB, 4GB SSD hybrid, 7200 rpm) and put it into the machine in a few minutes, adjusted the BIOS settings to boot from the CD drive and disable the HP Web flash capability, and proceeded to load the CDs through the HP system recovery manager.  The system progresses through the recovery manager without incident or error (indicating the recovery disks are 'good').  However, when booting the system after the recovery CDs complete, I get the nice message that no boot file can be found.  This tells me that there is no MBR (master boot record) created during the system recovery process and there is no way to boot into the operating system.
    Given this information, I have a few questions to those experienced in this area:
    1.  Am I required to contact HP to purchase a new hard drive to get the recovery to work properly?  To put it another way, is there an HP 'tatoo' (as alluded to in other posts around the Internet) that would prevent me from using a HDD that is technically compatible?
    2.  If the answer(s) to #1 is no, what am I missing in getting the recovery to work properly?  Are there any MBR utilities that I should use in addition to the recovery processes outlined by HP?
    3.  Am I required to purchase the same HDD (size, manufacturer)?  I decided to stay away from WD after it failed after only 13 months of light use...
    Thank you in advance for your advice!

    You're very welcome.
    That happened to me too (after testing windows 8), and the only way I was able to get W7 back on my PC was to install XP, and have it format the drive.  I let XP install and didn't bother installing any drivers.
    I booted from the W7 disk and it worked without incident.
    You have to have advanced knowledge to install XP on a modern notebook, because you need to know how to install the necessary sata drivers in order for XP to even see the drive.
    I noticed that MS has re-established the W7 ISO file download links again in the last day, so see if you can make your own disk again and try using that to install windows and then try to use the recovery disks if you want.

  • DV7 HD upgrade to Seagate SS Hybrid - Will it work?

    I have a failed HD on my DV7t-6100 quad-core. I was looking at purchasing this Seagate Momentus XT 750GB 7200RPM 2.5 inch solid state hybrid drive to replace the factory 750gb HD.
    I have a few questions about this drive:
    1 - Will it be a direct plug-and-play for my current computer? 
    2 - Do I need to buy a new caddy and cable, or will the existing one from my current failed HD work?
    3 - I have the Windows 7 recovery files from my father-in-laws HP DV6 laptop (smaller size HD than my computer). Will it matter that the files didn't come from my own computer (since the HD failed before I could make the discs)?
    Thanks to any and all that can help ease my worries!

    It will fit no problem as remains standard size, mountings & depth retains the 9.5mm standard too.
    Only problem with these is the firmware for adaptive memory still needs fine tuning as if unlucky you will find it fails to live up to the expected performance gains ...
    You will not be able to use the DV6 recovery discs & if after a fast system you would be far better installing generic Windows rather than the bloated HP OEM setup ... You can order HP recovery discs at a cost or download Microsofts Windows 7 install ISO for free, see link here

  • 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.

    Hi:
    You may have to purchase a set of HP recovery disks or if you can read all 25 characters of the W7 product key on the bottom of your notebook (DON'T POST IT), you can 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.

    Hi,
    Assuming your in the US, recovery discs are available to order for that model here.  That may be the best option.
    You should also be able to do a recovery without the discs as well.  Take a look at this document: Recover Windows Vista Operating System Using HP Recovery, and look for the section Restore the PC to its original condition with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not accessible.  This should allow you to recover the PC.
