HP Envy dv6 7398ca. win 8 64 bit. During recovery disk 4, get 3f0 error

Hi,
I have a brand new HP Envy dv6 7398ca.win 8 64 bit.  I had a problem that caused me to do a system refresh. After that, Windows update and MS Office would not update/install. Talked to Tech Support, they wanted me to go thru every service and started task to see if one was corrupt (requires reboots and update and recovery from win Update). Anyway, decided to do a system recovery/system reset. I had recovery disks and files backed up, so thought I should be fine.
During Recovery (from Win 8, recovery manager) when disk 4 was inserted, it gets to 56% and then stops with the 'dest drive not connected' msg. The system hangs and have to power off. Tried a couple times, then went to sys reset.  got to disk 4 again and then 3F0 msg with 'boot device not found, install os on hdd'. did quick check on hdd, all ok. Am running a full check now, but takes 5 hours(geesh, like back in the 80's again). 
I can't believe the hdd is bad, because it goes through format, and 4 disks of loading files ok, and keeps stopping on the same spot. 
Any ideas, before I finish waiting the 5 hours (1tb drive). Any ideas for after it finishes the test (I'm betting it's okay).
Thanks so much!

Hello socalfun64,
You’re getting an error 3f0.
Here are steps that Big_Dave  wrote that might help with the problem.
The below solution may correct this problem:
Download UEFI Shell x64, rename the file to shellx64.efi, move it to FAT/FAT32-formatted USB-flash. Label the USB flash drive something that you will quickly recognize.
Insert the USB flash and then power up the HP UEFI enabled laptop and tap the ESC key to allow you to display the Start up menu.
Select Boot device Options (F9)
Select Boot from EFI file
Select the USB flash drive and hit enter
You should now see Shell.efi. Hit enter.
Ignore all the screen information that scrolls down on the screen
 Once in the shell enter bcfg boot dump to see current boot manager entries. Option 00 should be the hard drive or SSD, option 01 the USB drive (UEFI) and option 02 the Internal CD/DVD Rom drive (UEFI)
This posted HP document will give you some ideas on how to remove, reorder and add the entries in the EFI boot manager. Review #3
If you’re not able to correct the problem, you may have to send the laptop in for repair.
Here is a link to a number to call HP and see what options they have to repair the laptop.
Let me know how everything goes
Have a good day.

  • I'm trying to re-install mountain lion 19.8.2 from a recovery disk and get an error when it's trying to verify my computer with Apple, any idea what's wrong?

    I'm trying to reinstall mountain lion 10.8.2 from a recovery disk and I get the following error when I goes to verify my computer with apple,
    An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again. Can anyone help?

    Well, I'm trying to figure out how you're doing this from a recovery disk. The only way to reinstall Mountain Lion is through the Recovery HD in the computer. Hold Cmd/R as you are starting up the computer and keep holding it. Eventually you'll get a screen asking you to select the language. Hit continue to select english and you'll get a Mac OS X Utilities Menu with the second option down being reinstall OS X.

    Hi Rhondavas77,
    To enable/disable Just-In-Time debugging
    On the Tools menu, click Options.
    In the Options dialog box, select the Debugging folder.
    In the Debugging folder, select the Just-In-Time page.
    In the Enable Just-In-Time debugging of these types of code box, select or clear the relevant program types:
    Managed, Native, or Script.
    To disable Just-In-Time debugging, once it has been enabled, you must be running with Administrator privileges. Enabling Just-In-Time debugging sets a registry key, and Administrator privileges are required to change that key.
    Click OK.

    Hi
    You mean you cannot boot the notebook using the Toshiba Recovery disk which you have created?
    Go to the BIOS and check if the CD/DVD drive is recognized. It should be listed on the first BIOS page.
    If the CD/DVD drive is not listed then you should set the SATA mode to compatible and should save the changes.
    After that try to boot again from the Recovery disk.
    I also searched on the Toshiba European driver page for some info and found some details;
    There is a firmware update for CD/DVD drive TS-L633A and TS-L633P.
    This Firmware solve "Sometime not able to writing on DVD+R media".
    The issue happens only DVD+R media, other kind of media have no problem.

  • Envy dv6 notebook - Hard drive failure - How do I get windows 8 reloaded on my Notebook

    Hard drive failed in the notebook / laptop. How do I get windows 8 back on the new drive? Hp told me they will not send or sell me recovery disks. WHat kind of crap is that?
    Help!

    Once one is out of warranty HP is not obligated to send recocovery media for free. Owners have a responsibility to create the recovery media shortly after removing their notebook during the inital product setup.
    You can purhase the recovery media from HP here.
    The BIOS does hold the product code for Windows 8, so that is a non issue.

  • I have compaq cq50. was VISTA upgraded to WIN 7. Recovery disks not working. BOOTMGR compressed

    will not boot up.  I have 2 recovery disks, the 1 of 2 will take but 2 of 2 disk doesnt run.

    Hi:
    If you are trying to use the Vista recovery disks and they are not working, and you can read your Vista product key on the bottom of your notebook, then you can make your own Vista installation disk by reading the guidance below.
    If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
    Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
    Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
    The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
    I selected No, make the ISO file.
    It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
    I tested both of them an my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
    When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.
    http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-microsoft-windows-v....
    After you successfully install Vista, you can then install the drivers from your PC's support and driver page.

  • HT4943 Error during download - I keep getting this error message when installing or updating apps

    I subscribed to wired magazine and I am trying to download the first mag, however I keep getting an error message stating "error during download, try again later". I also get an error message when trying to resume paused updating of apps. I've tried turning ipad2 off and then on again but this doesn't  work. Can anyone help?

    There are all basic troubleshooting steps that have worked for other users in the past that were having problems downloading and updating apps. YMMV .....
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • Satelite Pro L300 - Can I use recovery disk to get Vista back?

    On my computer i am dual booting Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
    Could i get rid of Vista then later could i use the recoevery disc to recover vista?
    P.S i know it wipes the whole hdd

    Hi
    If you have created successfully the Recovery disk using the Toshiba Recovery disk creator then youve got the Recovery disk which contains the Toshiba image.
    The image is a package which contains the OS (Vista), drivers and all the stuff which was preinstalled on the notebook.
    This means that if you would use the recovery disk then you would get everything like at the first day of purchase
    Simply said: Yes, you can get Vista back using the Recovery disk ;)

  • How to use recovery disks to get rid of hdd password?

    I got this compute and it's asking me to put in the built in HDD password, which I do not have so I purchased the recovery disks. I did what it said but didn't do anything? Help me please!

    Hello
    The recovery disk will not delete the HDD password. Recovery disk will just reinstall Windows with all drivers and tools (factory settings) but not delete any HDD or BIOS password. Of course the Windows password will be deleted due recovery installation but thats all.
    You should check this article:

  • Satellite L500 - cannot create recovery disks - 0D00F6-49-00000001 error

    Hello,
    My pc start acting up after i made a system restore.For exemple i cant use the fn key function.
    Last week i decided to format my pc. But when i opened the TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator i got an unespected error 0D00F6-49-00000001.
    I mananged to create 2 of the 4 dvd's. Im using Dvd-r from memorex.
    Can someone help.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Is this the first time you try to create recovery discs?
    How you have created 2 discs if the Toshiba recovery disc creator starts with error?
    Anyway, in this forum you can find similar threads. Probably is some recovery file corrupted and disc cannot be created.
    I dont think there is something you can do about it. Either it works or not. Maybe you should contact nearest Toshiba service and explain the situation. I hope they can help you with this and order original Toshiba DVD disc for you.

  • Getting itouch out of recovery mode and getting past error 3014

    Help!! My iTouch is stuck in recovery mode with a picture of the iTunes logo and a USB cord on the screen. When I plug it in, iTunes says it dtects a device in recovery mode and that it needs to be restored. I click restore and an error 3014 comes up that says an unknown error occured. I have done the following:
    -Tried to update it in DFU mode- will not go.
    -Updated my version of iTunes
    -Restarted the computer
    -Tried to modify the Host settings in Notepad, but it will not let me save any changes. It currently does not have a line about apple
    Please help me get it out!!!

  • Hello, we are using Lab View, to run testers, for checking our production parts. At different times during testing we are getting an error message with a number indicating something.

    The number appears to be different every time. The error will stop the test. Sometimes, the test will complete, but instead of passing or failing, we get an error message. Most times these keep comingup every other or every 3rd part.Most times we can reset the problem, and at least get rid of the errors for a while, by shutting down the whole system, including the main disconnect. Then powering back up. HELP!! This has been going on too long!!

    What's the error number and message? Is it a LabVIEW error code or a user created one?
