HP G62-B50SA Recovery Manager failed and can't restart Windows 7

Yesterday I launched the recovery manager to re-install an out of the box version of Windows 7.
At 1% of the installation I got the following error Error code: 0xe0ef0003
After this error, I could not start Windows anymore BOOTMGR missing
I tried to press escape and then F11, but once again the process failed
I had also created recovery CD's ( in Total I have 4 ), I try to reinstalled with them by going to F9 and putting the CD to be boot first.
I get the following error "The system recovery media does not support this computer. You are not able to restore this system with the media".
What should I do next?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards

Hi,
Here's an alternative option you could try.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the entire 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook - this is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn ( Note: You may want to de-select the additional software offerings during the installation of ImgBurn ) to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. The Windows Image source is Digital River.
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 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 Recovery Manager failed. Error code = FFFFFF9

Hello
I used the HP recovery manager to create a backup of my exisiting laptop onto an external hard drive because I selected the 'minimized image recovery option'. The laptop finished and now I am trying to restore the files. But when it gets to 96% is stops and I get:
HP Recovery Manager failed. Error code = FFFFFF9
I click next and I am back to square one. I have tried many times. I really need these files (~40GB) they were very important to me.
Please help.

UPDATE:
I have resolved this.
After looking on my computer I have noticed that despite the error message popping up at 99%, the files are indeed there in their own folder called "System Recovery Files".
To access the folder I used this video:

Dv6775us HP Backup and Recovery Manager software corrupted - can't find download

I am getting an HP error message saying the HP Backup and Recovery Manager software has been corrupted and needs to be updated. For over an hour I have been frustrated trying to find where on this site to download a replacement of what was installed or an upgrade that would repair the problem.
Can anyone point me to where I can get the software? Thanks.

Did you make a recovery disk set or usb recovery media?
If you did, then you are in luck because that is the software that can be used to reinstall the Recovery manager.
The downside is that you will have to do a factory image recovery to reinstall the software. A recovery is a destructive process, unlike a Windows stystem restore. A recovery will mean that you will needto save all of your data externally to avoid losing it and reinstall all of your programs after the recovery is complete.

15T Recovery Manager FAIL

I am trying to use the HP Recovery Manager to do a Minimal Restore of the drive to purge unwanted trial software. It is now a full day beginning at 10AM EST until just now, and the utility has failed multiple times (both with and without drive security disabled in the BIOS) with an error stating that I should contact HP Taiwan CTO to resolve the problem.
REALLY?
These instructions are useless. The reason they're useless is because the minimal install option is only presented when booting from external (USB) media.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03489643#N789
At this point, the only option presented to me in the recovery manager from the USB media is a full restore requiring a complete drive repartition, a 5-some-odd hour process I performed earlier today thinking that I had selected the 'minimal restore' only to realize that the stated function does not work.
Suffice to say I'm just a tad put off. Please respond promptly.

I really appreciate your willingness to troubleshoot and try these suggestions. Yes, I know you're working with Windows 8 and the Cyberlink Utility's download page says it is for Windows 7 and earlier versions. Cyberlink has been producing the Recovery partition and media for several years. I was hopeful that the firmware would still be the same since it is such a low-level application. I don't want to lead you on any type of "wild goose chase" or anything, though. I just want to help you get to a working Windows 8 state again, minus the trial/bloatware.
In the interest of saving you time, my next suggestion would be to download and put a clean Windows 8 64-Bit ISO (retail, non-HP-OEM) onto a USB flash drive. That ISO won't include any of the trial/bloatware, that we're trying to avoid. The only drawback is it also won't include any of the HP drivers or software. You'll have to download those from your Driver Page.
If I could get your product number, I'll link you directly to your particular model's driver page. You can find the product number on an HP label on the bottom of the computer.
Windows 8 64-Bit ISO link
Rufus- Program that makes USB flash drives bootable. It does mention Windows 7 on that site, but the program isn't just for Windows 7. It can be used with any ISO (Linux, Mac OS, all versions of Windows, etc.).
SIDE NOTE: I found this link a few minutes ago in my research, which confirms that it seems to be an issue with the media. He had a refurbished computer, upgraded the hard drive and ran into an issue using the HP Recovery media. The user mentions resolving it by using cloning software to clone the drive and it installed without issue.

HP TouchSmart IQ504 trys to access but ends with the Recovery Manager Screen and freezes or locks.

Hi Everyone,
When turning on the HP TouchSmart IQ504, it freezes or locks at the Recovery Manager Screen. There have been some good suggestions to help with this issue, but so far, none have solved the problem. Control + Alt + Deleter has been tried several times. I did install some anti-virus programs before the computer failed to respond. Have tapped the F8 key and have tried every solution it offers...nothing happens to get the TouchSmart IQ504 going again.. Have also used the esc key, F9, F10 & F11. Nothing with any of those solves the issue. Don't know for certain the operating system, but think it is Windows Vista. And I can't check it now to know what operating system is installed. Can anyone out there help. Would appreciate that very much.
Kindest regards,
from Skowghee

Hello skowghee,
I understand that you are not able to boot into windows.
Turn off the computer.
As you power it back on tap the F2 key. This will load hardware diagnostics.
Run the startup test.
This will test all the hardware in the system and detect any problems.
Let me know how everything goes.

My hard drive failed and can't recover. What are my options?

I have an HP 2000 notebook. The arm inside the drive got stuck and made a beeping noise. I was able to open the drive and fix the arm, but now the OS does not boot up and the HD can't be repaired. I don't see any product key for windows 8 anywhere on the laptop, so when I get my new hard drive how do I re-install windows?

"Boot Manager failed to find OS loader" - Windows XP

Hello, I'm new in this community.
That being said, I have a problem with my Thinkpad SL410. Two nights ago I shut down my laptop. It was working fine at that point. I clicked on shut down, but I think it went to "update and shut down". BAD idea, since now, its stuck on a loop.
When I try and boot up the laptop, it only brings me to R&R4. Then, after it scans and tries to "fix" the problem, it gives me a message. Unfortunately, the message is in chinese since I bought this laptop in china, so with my rough translation skills, I was able to determine that "Boot Manager failed to find OS loader".
You would think that that would be easy to fix. I go grab a windows recovery ISO, and put it onto my bootable USB. Problem is, R&R is almost getting in the way of recovery console. When I boot from the usb, there is a black screen with the message "To boot rescue and recovery environment, press f11". I have tried to press f11 and I have tried to wait, but no matter what, it takes me to the thinkvantage rescue and recovery, as opposed to the windows console.
Essentially, I cannot access the console to type in:
-fixboot
-fixmbr
I have painstakingly translated much of the R&R page (The one that gives you 3 options; restore, backup, reset to factory settings). I don't think there is a way to get to recovery console via that rescue and recovery page. So I do what is most logical. I try and restore to a backup. Technology doesn't seem to like me because after waiting for 30 mins, its at 93% done and there is a message saying something along the lines of "C: doesnt have enough space".
Great. What other options do I have? I know the hard drive isn't corrupted and my files are still there, since going into "backup" shows me all the files (pictures, documents, etc...). I can't back them all up and factory reset since not only would it take forever, but it would take up wayy too many gigs of space, and I simply can't get my hands on a massive storage system atm.
This is very frustrating since I only started using this computer after my dell laptop had a hard drive failure. It's a pain trying to get through dell support, only to have my situation a whole lot more complicated since it was a gift from china, and already registered to someone. Then a perfectly good working computer fails on me again, and this time I can't analyze the problem correctly since the computer is in chinese.
TL;DR
"Boot manager failed to find OS loader error. When I try booting from Windows XP ISO, R&R gets in the way. I also can't do a restore to backup since my C drive apparently doesn't have enough space.

Hi dizscez, welcome to the forums,
I can't promise, but something which has worked for me in similar situations is explained in the following KB article. Basically you would be doing the same as running a system restore to a previous point under Windows

Does anyone have Lion and can connect to Windows servers?

Is there anyone out there who can see the Windows server folders? Or am I (and a handful of others) the only ones who are having this issue? Is ANYBODY able to connect to their Windows server with Lion? (they dropped SMB support in Lion...this is why I'm asking).

What servers are you connecting to? Here at work they use:
windows server 2003
standard edition
32bit
No luck with me. I can connect to wifi internet, but can't access any of the shared folders anymore (I could with SL)

Recovery system failed and now I can't seem to find a way to start my MacBook

My MacBook Pro 13" had been giving me small but recurrent problems lately. Every couple of days for the past two weeks the spinning beach ball had been showing up and the Mac ended up asking me to hold down the power button to turn it off and then restart the laptop.
I checked and repaired the HD via disk utilities. It said it was repaired but it didn't make any difference.
Yesterday the beach ball appeares much more often (every half an hour, or less) so I decided to start in Recovery mode (cmd - r) and then just fully recover the system from the external HD I use with time machine.
That's when it went even worse. The recovery from the back up failed saying I should try again but when I try to start the MacBook only does two things: one - if I don't hold anything down it gives me an error and makes me force shut down the computer, which gives me the idea that everything is erased from the hard drive. And two - if I try to press again cmd - r, first the apple logo shows up and then it changes into the prohibited sign. It keeps thinking for longer than 5 minutes.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Is there another way to try to recover my time machine backup from the external HD?
What kind of problem could be causing all of this?
I have to add that as I'm traveling and away from home I don't have with me the system CDs that came with the MacBook.
Any ideas on how to try to restart and recover my MacBook?

Make sure you get the Original Replacement set of system discs. That usually costs more than $20. Some where around $40. What it sounds like is whoever you spoke to wanted to sell you a snow leopard upgrade disc. Which may work but it would not included the ilife applications. You really need the Original system discs, not a upgrade os disc.
You have to be specific when you call them. You have to state you need the Original system discs. To get them you have to give them the serial number of the system. If whoever you are speaking to never asks for the serial number of your mac then they are not going to send you a replacement set of original system discs. You need to ask to be redirected to the correct department to get the original system discs. Let me state again the Original system discs, not a upgrade os install disc.
Hope this works out for you.

Failover Cluster Network Name Failed and Can't be Repaired

I have an issue that seem to be a different problem than any others have encountered.
I've scoured everything I can find and nothing has fixed my problem.
The problem starts with the common problem of the cluster network name failing on my 2 node server 2012 file server cluster. The computer object was still in AD and appeared to be fine so it was not the common problem of the object
getting deleted somehow. At the time, there was no other object with that name in the recycling bin, so I don't think it was mistakenly deleted and quickly recreated to cover any tracks, so to speak.
Following one guide, I tried to find the registry key that corresponded with the GUID of the object, but neither node in the cluster had it in its registry (which may be part of the problem).
Since it was in the failed state, I tried to do the repair on the object to no avail.
We run a "locked down" DC environment so all computer objects have to be pre-provisioned. They were all pre-provisioned successfully and successfully assigned during cluster creation. The cluster was running with no issues for a month
or so before this problem came up.
When I do a repair on the object while taking diagnostic logs the following 4609 error appears:
The action 'Repair' did not complete. - System.ApplicationException: An error occurred resetting the password for 'Cluster Name'. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Unknown error (0x80005000)
There appears to be a corresponding 4771 error with a failure code 0x18 that comes from the security log of the DC that states there was a Kerberos pre-authentication failure for the cluster network name object (Domain\Clustername$)
I believe this is what is causing the repair failure. All the information I found related to security error 4771 was either a bad credentials given for a user account or the fix was to reconnect the computer to the domain. I can't seem to find
a way to do this with the cluster network name. If there's a way please let me know.
I've tried a number of things, like resetting the object, disabling it, deleting and creating a new object with the same name, deleting that new object and recovering the original, etc...
Can anyone shed some light on what is going on and hopefully how to fix it other than rebuilding the cluster? I'm quite close to just tearing it down and building it back up but am hesitant because this cluster in currently in production...
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
I don’t find out the similar issue with yours, base on my experience, the 4096 error
often caused by the CSV disk issue, and the 0x80005000 error some time caused by the repetitive computer object in OU. Please check the above related part or run the validate test then post the error information.
Although I do have a CSV, there doesn't seem to be any problems with it and it was running just fine for a month or so before the problem started. I double checked and there is no duplicate computer objects, maybe I don't understand what you mean by
repetitive, could you explain further?
The cluster validates successfully with a few warnings:
Validating cluster resource Name: DT-FileCluster.
This resource is marked with a state of 'Failed' instead of
'Online'. This failed state indicates that the resource had a problem either
coming online or had a failure while it was online. The event logs and cluster
logs may have information that is helpful in identifying the cause of the
failure.
- This is because the cluster name is in the failed state
Validating the service principal names for Name:
DT-FileCluster.
The network name Name: DT-FileCluster does not have a valid
value for the read-only property 'ObjectGUID'. To validate the service principal
name the read-only private property 'ObjectGuid' must have a valid value. To
correct this issue make sure that the network name has been brought online at
least once. If this does not correct this issue you will need to delete the
network name and re-create it.
- This is definitely related to the problem and the GUID probably got removed when we attempted a fix by resetting the object and trying the repair from the failover cluster manager.
The user running validate, does not have permissions to create
computer objects in the 'ad.unlv.edu' domain.
- This is correct, we run a restricted domain. I have a delegated OU that I can pre-provision accounts in. The account was pro-provisioned successfully and was at one point setup and working just fine.
There are no other errors nor warnings.

Upgrade to OS X Mavericks failed and can't reinstall OS X 10.7.5

I recently tried to upgrade to Mavericks but failed. I restored the HDD using timemachine but not 100% restored. My desktop lost, the driver for my RAID controller corrupted. I can't access the console of my ARECA 1221 raid controller. The problem couldn't be resolved by re-install or upgrade the controller driver.
I entered the recovery mode but it only allow me to re-install Mavericks, I tried more than ten time including install Mavericks in a new HDD, all ended with disk failure error.
How can I re-install Mountain Lion through internet?
Please help

The only ways I can think of to reinstall OS X Mountain Lion or Lion besides a backup or clone are:
1. Use a USB thumb drive installer made from OS X Mountain Lion or Lion.
2. If your Mac came pre-installed with OS X Mountain Lion or Lion, you can restart into Internet Recovery using the Command+Option+R keys until you see a spinning globe. Or if your Mac received a firmware update to provide Internet Recovery you could still use the 3 keys.
3. If your Mac came pre-installed with a version of OS X prior to 10.7, you would need to reinstall that OS and bring it up to 10.6.8 in order to use the App Store to download OS X Mountain Lion or Lion.

"hp recovery manager failed error code 0xeffffff08"

Have a HP Folio 7 months out of warranty that suddenty BSOD while using EXCEL. It would boot into Safe Mode but Blue Screen of Death everytime try normal boot. No new drivers and did restore point for week back to no avail. Finally thought I would go ahead anad do a complete SYSTEM RECOVERY with the partition made for that. Get 11% complete then Subject Error message or just BSOD. Now laptop is worthless to me. Did complete testing of harddrive solid state memory and system memory with 100% successful test results. No errors. Tried installing Windows 8 from media with no success. Had Symantec Backup but error drive does not exist when trying to restore. I have a second working Folio which I made a backup of and it refuses to install also. What can HP do for me at this point. Is there a way of fixing this Folio. All testing comes back "OK".

UPDATE:
I have resolved this.
After looking on my computer I have noticed that despite the error message popping up at 99%, the files are indeed there in their own folder called "System Recovery Files".

Could anyone shine any light on this, i would be most grateful.

Hi,
Shutdown the notebook. Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu. Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory. Post back with the details of any error messages.
