HP Envy 17-1181NR, Startup Repair / Recovery Manager / etc. not working

Okay, I've read some other similar threads made recently ("HP DV7 Recovery Issues", "HP Envy 17-2100ex") but feel I need to ask for help for my specific circumstances.
Model: HP Envy 17-1181NR
Product No.: YL747UA#ABA
SN: CNF0414VRL
Hardware: 17.3" Notebook, Intel Core i7-720QM processor, 750 GB HDD, 6 GB mem ...
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Noticed computer was running really slow last night and this morning, ctrl+alt+del to bring up task manager, eventually saw that somehow (maybe with a recent upgrade?) msmpeng.exe was started and running, though I had disabled it long ago. I killed the process tree within task manager.
Looked online and read how much of a bother this msmpeng.exe can be and resolved to disable it again to keep it from starting automatically at Windows startup. So following what I read, ctrl+r, typed msconfig, used that to disable the antimalware services that launch/use msmpeng.exe and a couple other services that seemed completely unnecessary (I was 95% sure).
Restarted machine to have changes take effect, came back to it minutes later frozen at a wallpaper that's blue with light rays coming down through it, as with sunlight through water. Mouse cursor moves, but unresponsive to all keyboard and mouse button input. Later discovered this screen is the background to the Recovery Manager, which was hung...
Later discovered what had happened: that on the first restart, starting Windows normally, it reached a BSOD with message:
"UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" ...blah, blah, blah, * * * STOP: 0x000000ED (0xFFFFFA80064D8C00,0xFFFFFFFFC0000185,0x00000...,0x00000...
Which flashed for a split second before auto-restart, this time stopping at "Windows Error Recovery" screen giving choice between "Launch Startup Repair" and "Start Windows Normally" again. The former happened automatically after 30 second or whatever time delay, and then after loading files, hung at the water-screen described earlier. I can repeatably encounter these two outcomes for the two choices on the "Windows Error Recovery" screen.
Hitting escape after restart, and hitting F11 for "System Recovery" takes me to same water-screen hang point. I tried looking at system info, then doing system diagnostics, tried different scans and eventually the system tune-up scan. This failed with:
Memory Test: PASSED
SMART Check: PASSED
Short DSTL FAILED
FAILURE ID: 94UFL3-5B65QF-XD002K-6OUL03
PRODUCT ID: YL747UA#ABA
Hard Disk 1
This made me think of a disc error and that I can't trust Recovery Manager to be launched correctly from the recovery partition, D:, so I popped in my recovery DVD (first of 5 burned from recovery partition much earlier). Choosing repair options in the startup from this disk, after changing the boot device order in the BIOS settings (F10), brought me to the very same hanging at the water-screen.
I then tried F8 for "Advanced Boot Options" and various safe modes with the intent of reaching a command prompt to run "chkdsk /f /r" and/or "fixboot". But it can't get past loading the CLASSPNP.SYS driver. And without a command prompt now, I can't very easily copy in a pristine CLASSPNP.SYS from matching model / OS.
Is this HDD gone bad, just coincidentally with what I'd changed? Or is this a software issue as I'd be inclined to believe? Any thoughts or inputs from anyone will be much appreciated. Thanks.

My Acer Recovery Management is not working. How do I get a disc of factory settings?

I've tried to do a restore point on my computer after downloading software that it didn't like. Then when that failed to work, I was going to restore the computer do default setting. There is an bug in the namescript of the Acer Recovery Manger. I tried to download the Acer Recovery Manager online and there was an error. I even tried from the Acer Recovery Manger itself but it didn't want to do that either. I don't think that I have the discs for recovery (if I do they're in a box somewhere as I'm in the middle of moving). Is there some place online that I can create recovery discs?

Have you tried ALT+F10 at boot? by the way, if you want the original installation media:Acer recovery media
if you are in the US you can buy it:

if you are outside the US, you must call/email your regional Acer support service:

Recovery manager did not recover specific type of files

I tried to boot the PC in "Safe Mode" by pressing F8 key at the time of boot. However PC did not boot in "Safe Mode" . So I booted it normally and then open "MSCONFIG" menu. In this menu I opted for Safe Boot under advance option. and then opted for rebooting the PC. However PC did not booted at all. All along it kep showing various DOS commands and then welcome Screen but thereafter PC used to crash and back and forth these activities continued. In order to get of this vicious cycle I tried cold booting by switching off the PC from socket. Then when I tried to boot PC it showed two option one was for normal booting and other was for revoking the startup recovery manager menu. Since normal booting was not possible as "MSCONFIG" menu was configured for booting in "Safe Mode'' and PC just refused to boot in "Safe Mode". Hence only option that was left is to revoke Startup Recovey solution. In Startup recovery menu offered two solution one was "system restore" which I tried but system could not restore to point I suggested. I tried system resore point of older date but system could not restore that point it did displayed some error message. Hence only option that was left was to System Recovery. The system recovery prompted me to take backup which I took. I saw it was copying many many files. The size of backup on my Pen drive was about 8 GB. Thereafter the system was recovered. Normal booting of Windows was also restored. Now I tried to restore my data. The data was restored. Even outlook mails of the size of 4 GB were restored. But on further observing the data which was in my erstwhile My Document folder I was shocked to know that certain files with extension .123, .apr, .adx, .lwp were not restored. These files were created by my use of Lotus Smartsuite software. I used to extensively use Lotus 1-2-3, Lotus Approach and Lotus WordPro for my work. I also observed that .dbf files were also not restored. Well this is a native file format like .txt and .jpeg. Actually when one use Lotus Approach it creates three files one is .adx file that is index file. the other is .apr file which is a database viewer file and the other is .dbf files in which all data is stored. All such files were not resored by HP recovery Manager. This is the problem I am facing. I still have .exe file of the size of 8 GB on my Pen Drive. Is there any way to restore files with extension I mentioned above ???

You are correct. That link no longer works and I could not locate it again. Here is a thread from the forums:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Recovery/HP-File-Recovery-Manager-has-stopped-working/td-p/1502475?send_feedback=true&thread_id=678725&clicked_thread_id=1502475I noticed in your first post "The size of backup on my Pen drive was about 8 GB. " I have found in other comments on the forums that possibly not all files one thought were being backed were in fact backed up. Check in the folder on the flash drive to see if the ones missing are in fact there. The person in that above thread actually had all the files.

Recovery Manager could not restore your computer.

Hi:
You will either need to see if you can get a set of recovery disks for your PC by reading the info at the link below, or make your own W7 DVD.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07143&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lan...
Here's how:
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 as ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
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.

There were no changes made to the computer, prior to the restore the computer would boot up, however, it would freeze after the system was up and running. Restarting the computer did not help and when I tried to restore it to an earlier point it said that it was unable to complete the restore. I then tried to the factory reset, however, it gave me an error message: "Recovery Manager could not restore your computer using the factory image. Please contact HP support. Error code: 0xe0ef0003. When I tried to restart the computer afterwards, it gave an error message: "BOOTMGR is missing, Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart". How do I fix this?

Hello crossurmind.
What sorts of issues led up to the computer originally not booting? Were you getting a lot of blue screen errors?
The two items you posted from the error log seem to indicate that it is having trouble reading the hard drive and possibly the memory. After trying the restore it seems that it failed causing the boot section of the install to "not be found."
I think you should begin by using the built in tests for the hard drive and memory located in the BIOS. Follow this document to perform the hard drive test. All you'll have to do is repeat the process and select "memory" in order to perform the memory test. Make sure to post the result of both of these tests.
I will await the results; have a great day!

Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

I have a mac which plays the boot sound but the screen stays black. Recovery mode does not work, as the keyboard is wireless. What do I do?

What it says in the title.
I have an older mac and it worked perfectly until about an hour ago when I shut it down because we needed the room dark for a presentation and the screen saver was putting out light.
Now it won't turn back on. It plays the start up music but the screen stays blank.
The CMD+OPT+R for recovery mode doesn't do anything, the keyboard is wireless so the command doesn't get to the computer and that's the only keyboard I have since that's the one it came with.
I'm looking at making a USB recovery disk but it says that I should click on "Options" in the Disk Utility but there is no options button or menu to click.
From here: OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant in step 3 I get stuck.
Also it says that if I make a drive on this computer which has an older OS it might not work on the broken machine with Mavericks.
This machine literally worked and I turned it off and now it does not work and there seems to be nothing I can do... ***...

well, then recovery mode does not work. I've tried all the key combinations I've seen on line. Command+R, Command+Option+R, Command+Option+P+R, none of these work.
I don't believe there is anything we can do on a forum to help then, you need to take it into a AASP and have it professionaly diagnosed. If you don't know how to locate an AASP in your area you can begin by using Contact Apple for support and service
Good luck.

Norton password manager does not work on 8. How do I return to a previous version?

when I updated to firefox 8, Norton password manager does not work. How can I return to a previous version. I am surprised that you introduced an update missing this.

Norton needs to be updated.

Just completed a clean install of CS6 Photoshop on my Yosemite Mac Book Pro and the Adobe Application Manager does not work and cannot install a fresh copy from Adobe

Just re-installed a fresh copy of CS6 Photoshop on my Yosemite Mac Book Pro and somehow the Adobe Application Manager does not work and therefore cannot verify my copy. What should I do?
I get a message saying that Adobe Application Manager may be damaged and that I should install a new version of AAM. But after downloading a fresh copy of AAM and doing the install, the program (AAM) still will not install. It is like an infinite loop!
Please, someone help!
Thanks!

HI gener7!
I'm sorry but I am not on Creative Cloud. I'm still on CS6 and it was the Adobe Application Manager that wasn't working and I could not install the update to this application. My AAM version is: 8.0.0160
The link you provided was the update that I wanted to install but it does not work. A window shows up during that install that says:
We've encountered the following issues.
Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.
and then the link to the Adobe Support Advisor which leads to a "Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued" page.
Thanks!

File manager still not working w 10.7.3combo

Since installing lion (I started with 10.7.2) file manager is not working. Yes, I can force uit it and than it does but it is still very annoying and time consumin to do it 2-4 times a day. I was hoping that 10.7.3 will solv it. Than installed based on advice I received hee 10.7.3 compbo but the problem is still there.
Do you know or have you run accross a thread that explains how to solve it?
Advanced thats to anyone who can help

What is "file manager?" Is that a piece of third-party software, or are you referring to the Finder? If it's third-party software, you'll need to contact the developer for an update or fix. If the Finder is not working (how is it not working?), then you could try some of the tips in Understanding upgrade nightmares.

My macbook is back from repairs. It is not working with my apple led cinema display. It was working prior to the repairs on the laptop. Is there a setting I don't know about that might have been changed?

My macbook pro is just back from repairs. It is not working with my apple led cinema display. I have followed the directions in the cinema display manual. am I missing something?

Take a look at the Displays preference panel to see if everything is ok, particularly the resolution and refresh rate. Displays will probably try to put the panel for the ACD on the ACD where you won't see it. So click "Gather Windows" to get the ACD panel on to your macbook.
One more thing, make sure you fully seated the mini displayport plug. They can be sneaky little devils in that they need to be fully pushed in.

During installation, an user casuser is created with certian security settings and if those are modified\removed, DM will not start.
Following message will be seen in /log/syslog.log
Daemon manager anonymous user has not been set up: 00000775
To solve the issue, run resetcasuser.exe located under /setup.support to recreate the settings.
Make sure casuser account is not locked out. Make sure casuser is a member of casusers group and is set to "password never expires".
Additionally you can try to make casuser a member of adiministrators group.

Neena,
Check the properties of casuser under Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Local Users and Groups > Users and make sure it is not disabled or locked out. The only thing checked should be "Password never expires". Change anything required and reset casuser.
