Hp Laptop is not restoring C: Correctly.

I bought this laptop off a friend a few months ago, and no problem (Fairly new, no issues running anything). Last night I downloaded something with malicious software and my computer got wrecked. I went into f10 and then Factory Reset, but that did not work either (needing items I don't have.) I then went in the system recovery and it said my C: was corrupted so I tried to fix that. However, after 10 HOURS there was no change. At all. What can I do to fix my pc to a point where I can have it working, no problems?

Have you tried running the hardware diagnostics accessed by tapping Esc, then F2 at power on?
Did you or previous owner make the Recovery Media for Windows 8 ? This can be used to boot from and reinstall Windows on the original or a new hard drive if needed.

  • PC Suite is not restoring messages correctly

    Hello everybody,
    ive searched couple of times but got nothing really useful,
    ive managed to create a valid csv file from my previous messages, and when i want to restore messages to phone via pc suite, with import function, everything is fine and messages will be imported to phone successfully, but the problem is , pc suite converts numbers to names for saved numbers, like FROM:  "Lastname Firstname" (i dont like this) and i cant reply to messages or view message detail inside the phone, names are solid on messages, how i can make pc suite act normal?
    Sorry for my terrible english.

  • My Compaq laptop will not restore back to Vista

    So I had a Compaq laptop that I got back in 2008 with Vista preinstalled. In 2012, I decided to try out Windows 8 Consumer Preview to see how well it was compared to Vista. Unofrunately, 8 was less satisfying than Vista, and I recently tried to revert back to Vista using the system restore utility. I backed up all my software, and when I ran the system restore partition, it failed and gave me this error message.
    Then when I boot the system, it gives me this message
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

  • Restore from Time machine has not restored services

    Hi all,
    We recently did a Time Machine restore on one of our OS X servers. After the restore, none of the services such as Open Directory are running. As a result I couldn't log in with the normal Administrator account, and had to use the DVD to reset the root password. This is very frustrating since my machine is now basically useless. Does anyone know how to get these services running again, and why did Time Machine not restore the correct service configuration on to the server?
    Thanks,
    Todd

    Hi.
    TM is probably hardwired to do you the favor of not attempting to backup your OD databases.
    Please know that you cannot reliably backup a running database externally (barring other special cases, for example other OSes, different filesystems & specialized backup software). In some cases
    it might "appear" to work but the result will likely be in an inconsistent state and should not be trusted.
    You should do scripted backups (google for : automating Open Directory Backup)
    and see in particular, www.afp548.com/filemgmt/visit.php?lid=68
    Backup your OD appropriately to a location that is accessible to TM and then use it to backup your OD export/backup.

  • HT1339 my ipod shuffle(1st generation) is corrupted (error 1442) it will not restore.             is it possible to correct this or is it beyond repair. It worked the last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Vista.

    My ipod shuffle (1st generation) will not restore. It says it is corrupted(error 1442) Is it possible to correct this problem, or is it beyond repair. It worked last  time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Im actually tilting it up where it cinnects to my iPod, not where it connects to my computer, and i have tried three(yes, 3) different cables, one of which i bought brand new. still nothing, and i've also tried different USB ports on my computer,....nothing. Could this simply be a hardware failure of somekind? maybe a physical problem...i mean, why would i have to tilt the cable in order for my computer to actually read my iPod? im looking at the USB connector on my iPod (maybe it's my imagination, not sure) it possible might be bent, the little metal part in the port.

  • I have had my iMac for 55 days now and twice I had to power off/on and then It does not power up correctly.  I verified my disk and found errors that could not be repaired.  I erased the drive and restored system back to the previous day.

    I have had my iMac for 55 days now and twice I had to power off/on and then It does not power up correctly.  I verified my disk and found errors that could not be repaired (errors were associated with boot drive)  I erased the drive and restored system back to the previous day.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with it. Allen's already recommended an Apple repair station visit. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you might be eligible for an onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine (depends on where you're located).  BTW, the AppleCare Protection Plan's the best warranty policy available for desktop machines. Get it if you don't have it before contacting Apple.

    Hi, I also get the message "itunes could not restore the iphone because the password was incorrect" though I am never prompted to enter a password anywhere! Nor was the backup password encrypted to begin with! Really strange, any pointers will be greatly appriciated!

    Hey jtom234412,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your device is not detected in iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help resolve this issue:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Furthermore, if your device is in recovery mode (displaying an iTunes symbol, with a plug), see the relevant information under Step 5.
    Thanks,

  • FF NOT restoring previous tabs. All settings confirmed correct. On Windows 7 - 64 bit

    I have three computers - side by side - all Windows 7
    All set up with FF 5.01
    Two computers operate on Win 7 - 32 and FF usually restores previous sessions.
    One PC operates on Win 7 - 64 bit and never restores previous sessions.
    I have confirmed the settings on all and all are correct... compared one to the other and the one that does not restore, compared settings to the directions on FF site.
    The only thing that I can see that's different is the 64 bit.
    Though, FF (Win 7-64) restored fine up until about 6-8 weeks ago... on earlier versions of FF.

    Windows junk.

  • My Iphone 4 crashed and I lost my entire contact list. I restored it to original factory settings but in trying to restore my data from my laptop via Itunes.. this was the feedback: Itunes could not restore the Iphone Dr Johnny Siu Chong because the Iphon

    My Iphone 4 crashed and I lost my entire contact list. I restored it to original factory settings but in trying to restore my data from my laptop via Itunes.. this was the feedback: Itunes could not restore the Iphone Dr Johnny Siu Chong because the Iphone refused the request.
    I cannot get help from Apple support because i am being asked to supply the serial number which is stored on the phone and I cannot restore my data in the first place. I am reluctant to "Set up as a new Iphone" since I don't know whether if I do I  may not then be able to access my data from Itunes...
    Please advise what to do. I did not see any tutorials on Youtube to help me with this.
    I look forward to an early response.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    or here:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Hi,
    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...

    Go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration
    Move all the files from the System Configuration folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac. See if that made a difference.
