HP Pavilion a1560n : Sysem recovery disk gives error

I have a HP Pavilion a1560n Desktop PC with Windows XP. I got a laptop so I quit using the desktop. I stored it were it would not get damaged but when I turned it back on it said     ( Hard Drive not found wires may have come loose  or damaged)   so I removed the side cover and checked the wires, they were fine.  I then tried to boot and it came up    ( Boot file not found put system recovery disk in and reboot).      I put the system recovery disk in and it tried to boot and then an error message came up and it would do nothing else.  error message is as follows.    (  ERROR:   This CD contains a backup of the  software originally installed on an HP Pavilion PC and can only be used with an HP Pavilion PC. If you are receiving this message on an HP Pavilion, please call HP Support.  )       This is an HP Pavilion so I don't understand what is going on. It was working fine when I shut it down. Warranty has expired so I can not afford to call HP Support. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Recovery Set checks the hardware configuration and compares it to the configuration that is in a file on the disk.  If they do not match, then that is the message displayed.  So, the question is, what changed to make the disk tell that, anything different from when it was new?  Since the first error message, I think there is a hardware problem and the message is also indicates something is different.  Both errors point to a problem with the hard drive.  Remove the wired connections from the hard drive, one at a time, and reconnect.  Try again.  If the same message, then do the same for the hard drive wired connections on the motherboard, try again.

  • Dual boot WIndows 8.1 and Windows 7 (32 bits) from separated disks gives error 0XC0000359

    Hi all,
    I have two disks, each with a (OEM) installed OS on it, a Windows 8.1 (64 bits) and Windows 7.0 (32 bits). The later came from mine old computer that unfortunately died to soon. So I have two disks and two OS in an brand new machine (with UEFI BIOS etc.).
    Installing a dual boot option was a pace of cake. However booting into Windows 7.0 gives following error:
    "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. 
      File:\Windows\system32\winload.exe.
      Status: 0XC0000359
      Info: the application or operating system could't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors".
    There is lot discussions about installing two OS but that is not mine problem: both are already installed.
    Also there is much rumour about the UEFI BIOS and support for older systems. In mine medion computer the Security Boot option is disabled (by the OEM), so booting from a old BIOS should be possible, must isn't.
    Someone advised me to run the recovery disk (of Windows 7.0) and run Bootmgr. However the system refuses to boot from CD/DVD with the recovery disk of Windows 7.0 inserted, booting from the recovery disk of Windows 8.1. goes fine.
    Removing the disk with Windows 8.1 installed on it  and directly booting in Windows 7.0 fails too with the message: "Reboot and Select proper boot device or: Insert boot media in selected boot device and press key". Also in this case the system
    refuses to boot from the Windows 7.0 recovery disk.
    Could you please help me?

    Hi,
    To rebuilt boot loader, I suggest we can try following command when you enter Windows 8.1.
    Run cmd as administrator and type following command:
    BCDboot [Partition Letter with windows 7 installed]:\windows
    Note: if you installed Windows 7 on Partition F, the command can be write as: BCDboot F:\windows.
    Then, restart and boot into Windows 7.
    What’s going on?

  • Recovery Disk Creation Error (Windows Vista / Satillite A200)

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a Satellite A200 running Vista.  This is inherited so I will do the best to describe the issue:
    Mainly because it's inherited and running terrible I wanted to wipe the drive back to factory settings:
    When creating the disks, it get about 1/2 way through the first one, then gives an error similar to:
    Unable to Read (drive)\ZZImages\ZZImages\preinst.swm.
    I unfortunately did not write down the specific error message, and I will make a new frisbee if required to find out (unless it has a log?)
    It happened once while at the previous owners posestion, so before running it myself I can a chkdsk on the C Drive.
    There was a 2nd partition, 5GB that's empty, as well as a HIDDEN partition (unsure of size) that had quite a few files on it.
    I had inspected the systems within Linux which reads everything fine, then set the chkdsk flag (Dirty Bit) to ensure a full scan of the C drive.
    Any suggestions as to what I can do would be great.

    Scanning the C: drive won't have any affect on this.  The images are storred in the larger hidden partition that you should NOT scan.  Since it happened to the original owner and to yourself it's fiarly obvious that the problem lies in the recovery partition.  Your best bet at this time would be to order a replacement set of recovery disks from Toshiba.  See the second post in this Recovery Forum for details. 
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

    Win 7 64-bit Home Premium is the original OS
    I need the recovery disks. I just need only the original OS, drivers and the HP proprietary applications. There is a stick on the bottom of the notebook with the serial to Win 7 64-bit Home Premium. I have my own Microsoft Office and other things I use.
    I live in Argentina, and the local HP does not have any items concernig products not sold in Argentina. I don't like it, but I accept it.
    I see an option to purchase the dvds in USA and have them mailed to me. But I would rather download them, paying the fee, of course. Is there a way to download my recovery dvds?

    Hi,
    Unfortunately there is no Download option available from HP,  but there is a work around you may want to consider detailed below.
    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself - just download the correct Disc Image from the link below ( this must be the exact version - ie Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit ) and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    When you wish to reinstall Windows, use the disc you have created to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the underside of your notebook 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.
    http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
    Any additional software & drivers you may need can be found Here.
    Note:
    The reason you need to use the 'Phone Method' to activate the OS is because Windows 7 will recognise that the Activation Key on the base of your notebook is for an OEM version and in most cases, activation over the Internet will fail as the disc you have created to perform the installation will be a 'Retail Version'.  However, activating the OS over the phone will work without any problems - credit to Microsoft for allowing this method for Windows 7

  • Hp pavilion dv6 6180 help me for this error when I am using my recovery disk

    hp pavilion dv6 6180 help me for this error when I am using my recovery disk
    The destination drive is not connected

    Hello Mohammadshamlou.  I understand that you're having some issues using your Recovery Disc.  It is giving you the error that the drive is not connected.  Is this correct?  How long have you had the notebook?
    What issue originally led you to want to try a recovery?
    The error seems to imply that it is not detecting the hard drive as this would be the most logical destination drive.  So, I feel the best thing to try first is verify that the hard drive is in proper working order.  Follow these steps and please post the result.

What do I do now?

    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.

  • HP Pavilion P7 Win 7 Stop Error using HP Recovery disks on new HD

    Hard drive failed on this computer. Got a new, same size hard drive and ordered the recovery disks from HP. Should be easy, IS easy with EVERY other manufacturer by HP.  Put in disk one, boot to it. It starts, loads files, Windows 7 Screen, then Stop error, c000021a The initial session process or system process terminated unexpectedly...
    The drive is fine. I tried formatting it. Same issue. I tried IDE, ACHI, Raid, same issue.  I know there's some ridiculous trick. If someone could point me to it, that'd be great.

    Neither is a useless waste of time, or Forum geek with nothing better to do with his time but waste others, and try and justify their miserable lives.  Unfortunately, it's clowns like you that give these forums the bad name they have.  I'm sorry if we're not here to entertain you, or give you something to do from your mom's basement in between Far Cry matches, but some of us have lives, aren't morons, and would like to just have their issues resolved without dealing with childish imbeciles.  Here's a clue for you.
