Pavilion DV6215CA Recovery Media Needed

I have a DV6215CA laptop with a failed Hard Drive. It was running Vista Home Premium (32-bit as far as I know). If I remove it and attach it to another computer, I can see the HP Recovery Partition and contents, but they may be damaged.
1) If the contents are undanaged, is there a way to create Recovery Media so that I can install a new hard drive and reinstall the system using another computer? Creating a Virtual Machine perhaps?
2) If I need Recovery Media, how do I order it? I have tried the various walk throughs on HP.com (and .ca) and all of them reference pages and screens that are old and no longer exist. That is, I remember the layout from a year or so ago, but the actual "Order Recovery Media" link isn't there.So, if you don't actually know that your link leads to the page to order the Recovery Media for this model, please don't share it. It only continues to disseminate old and useless information. Thank you. :-)

Hi:
You can order recovery media from this non-HP vendor at the link below.
If you live in Canada, I don't know if they will ship there.

If you can still read all 25 characters of the Windows Vista product key on the bottom of your notebook, you can make your own Windows Vista installation usb flash drive, and use that to reinstall Windows.
Please click on the link below and then click on the pdf link labeled Windows Reinstallation Guide.

I do not know what you would be able to do with the recovery partition on your old hard drive.

Create recovery cds for HP Pavilion a410n

I had to reload PC from startup with f12 key. it reloaded the drive like new.
I was going to make pc recovery cds in case HD crashed.
CD Creator said there had already been a set made. I have not made a set since reloading HD.
My daughter may have made a set when i bought this for her she gave it back to me
Thanks

Hi,
Part of the OEM license ( this is when the operating system comes pre-installed with the PC ) only allows one set of Recovery Discs to be created, however you can order a replacement set of these discs using the link below.

Recovery CDS dont work on new HDD

i bought a new hard drive because my original from my laptop went to shits.
the new hdd is in the laptop and i inserted the recovery cd from hp (they are original) and it says
"windows loading files" and then i get an error that says
"The instruction at 0x77a124a9 referenced memory at 0x00000000"
and it restarts and im back to square one. Does my HDD need to be OEM in order for the recovery cds to work ? or am i missing a step that im not doing properly.
Laptop info
Product : Pavilion dv5
S/N: {Private Information Removed}
P/N KQ574AV
Model # dv5t-1000
also the main reason i want to reinstall windows vista as how it originally came with was because i cant get my webcam to work. after a clean install of win7 ultimate, i cant seem to find a driver from the hp web site that actually works right. I go under device manager and i cant even see where the webcam driver should be at. i want to get the webcam driver to work with the OS i have installed on it right now, which is Win7 Ultimate 32-bit. i tried to install cyberlink webcam and hp mediasmart webcam and both dont work for nothing.

Hello,
I'm not sure which HDD you used, but I suspect that may be the issue. If you look at your Maintenance and Service Guide, it lists compatible part numbers and descriptions for your notebook. The HDD section is on page 55.
You can order these parts from HP Partsurfer
Please let me know if this helps.
Good luck!

HP Recovery CDs

several years back, i purchased a series of 8 recovery cds from hp for my pavilion 513g desktop. i used them successfully when i received them and stored them away in case i'd ever need to recover that pc.
after several years of inactivity, i decided to use the computer as a starter pc for my daughter. upon booting, i only received the windows and hp logos cycling repeatedly. i broke out the 8 cds to restore the pc to a factory state. the first three cds worked without issue. however, the fourth cd starts and then issues the message "preload base_23.inp cannot be recovered". it gives me the option to "abort" or "retry". i've tried both options with no success. i also tried to start from scratch with the first cd, but am instructed to insert cd 4. i also tried to put cd 5 into the drive, but the same message prevails.
is there a solution out there that doesn't require me to purchase new recovery cds? and once i get past cd 4, how do i know that cds 5-8 won't perform the same way?
any input on this issue is greatly appreciated...thanks in advance!
This question was solved.

Make sure your CD's are clean... that means free of grease, grim, finger prints and scratches. Not recommended but I find that using an automotive polish or scratch remover (KIT Scratch Out) rated for use on plastic/plexiglass will clear up scratches well.

Trying to Install Windows 7 Recovery Cds on a new HD

HP Pavilion dv4-2165dx
"No bootable device found -- insert cd and press any key"
So my hard drive crashed on me, and I bought a new one from a 3rd party vender online and ordered recovery CDs for Windows 7 from HP. I got three CDs total; 2 Windows 7 System Recovery DVDs (disk 1 & 2) and a CD labeled "Application and Driver Recovery CD".
After installing the new HD I put the 1st Windows Recovery DVD in and had the computer boot from it. After a couple minuets of a blank screen, the error message "No bootable device found -- insert cd and press any key" appeared. I tried restarting the computer several times but just kept getting the same message.
What is it that I am missing? Am I suppose to do something with the HP Application and Driver Recovery CD first?
Any help it greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Are 2002 Recovery CDs Still Usable

Will be giving my 2002 Windows XP 1410-S173 Satellite laptop to someone. Would like to clean personal files and information from hard disc before doing this but still keep all programs working. I have 3 recovery CDs that came with it when I bought it. Can these still be used to clean the hard drive or have there been too many updates over the years of use for them to still work. I tried to download and run Disk Wipe to accomplish cleaning my files off the XP computer but it would not run. I am not 100% sure why but think it has something to do with trying to clean the c drive but the c drive has the system files on it so the Disk Wipe software won't work. Not sure that is correct but if it is I don't know what to do about it. Thought perhaps the recovery disks might accomplish the same thing. Thanks for any help or other suggestions. I use IE browser most of the time and Firefox some of the time, if that matters.

They will still work just fine. You'll just need to install a lot of Windows updates. If you don't have a fast internet connection you might want to go to a local library to see if they have faster connection to download all of the windows updates which will probably be several hundred mb's in size.

T43 recovery CDs not working

Hi,
My T43 has pre-installed winXP and later I added a Linux system using Sussie Linux installation CD. I am happy with the dual boot as it is always working fine.
Now I wish to remove the Linux system to get more space for my Windows. It has about 40G HD, 25G for windows. So I tried to use the product recovery CDs came along with the laptop. Here are my trials:
1. Use the blue "Access IBM" button at boot time to enter the "rescure and recovery" window, and try the option "restore to factory content". But it tells me this function has been removed.
2. Use the product recovery CDs. I cannot find the bootable "rescure and recovery" CD as suggested by the accompanying guide, but only 6 "product recovery CDs". So I used the CD#1 and it is bootable. After I entered a window and answered "yes I want back the factory content", it started the product recovery process. But, just after 1 second, it tells me the product recovery process is done and need to reboot.Ofcourse nothing is changed in my laptop.
Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot.

"Based on what has been stated you have effectivly removed all ability to recover back to the factory configuration. You may have also violated your warrenty at the same time. It is not possible to place that partition back."
Absolutely NONE of this is true.
a) You can ALWAYS recover the partition using the restore disks, if the hard disk itself is OK.
b) No one has ever voided the warranty on any IBM or Lenovo unit by wiping the drive, or installing a different operating system. Unless the hard drive itself is the problem, you're not even required to send it in when the machine goes for a repair. Even if you were to send it in with Linux, it would either be left alone, or re-imaged with the OS that the machine originally shipped with, depending on your preferences that are to be stated on the repair sheet.
Lenovo (and IBM before them) couldn't possibly care less what OS you're running - Windows, Linux, DOS or one that you've created yourself. However, if you haven't created a set of recovery media before you started playing around, they'll be more than happy to charge you $45 + S&H + tax for a set of recovery disks for the OS that had originally shipped with your computer.
Hope this clears any misunderstandings.
@zoltanthegypsy:
There's a number of T43/p units that are still under warranty, I've got two in my house right now. Remember, these machines had the option of a five-year warranty agreement, and the very last ones were built in early 2007, believe it or not...

Windows Vista on T500 doesn't start, recovery CDs do not work

I have T500 with Windows VISTA, but the system cannot start.
When I turn it on, I can see Vista loading progress bar showing up for some time, and then I get the blue screen with this error:
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
When I insert the Recovery Disc, it starts, but I can see only the welcome screen with the rescue wheel, no option to start the recovery.
One note: I have two sets of recovery CDs. My T500 came with Windows XP and CDs for Vista. I re-installed to Vista shortly after purchase using the Vista recovery disks (so the CDs are OK). I made windows XP recovery disks that time, and they do not work now too (I end with the rescue wheel screen). When I had Windows XP I had a lot blue screens from the beginning, that's why I reinstalled to Vista.
Second note: I've already tried the chkdsk /r and fdisk /mbr using FreeDOS CD - no change. (these are recommended programs to run when you have UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME, as I can see on the net)
Anybody could help with this ... well, quite critical issue?

Create Recovery CDs Manually

Greetings,
I have a Pavilion a6300t that was running Vista Home Premium 32 and had to replace the drive. Problem is the owner no longer has the recovery CDs that were created when it was new. The old drive is in-tact, as are the files on the recovery partition. Is there a way I can manually recreate a set of recovery disks from the partition without running the recovery manager? Since it was already done once, I woudn't be able to use the RM program anyway.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Touchsmart IQ524 hard drive crashed. Ran Recovery CDs and I get an error Windows can not install on

I have an HP Touchsmart IQ524 which the hard drive crashed. I replaced the hard drive with the exact same model. I run the Recovery CDs (which I purchased from HP website) and it goes all the way through the process and after the reboot I get a message that "Windows can not install software on this hardware" - so it never completes the process. I have formatted the hard drive and bought and returned 3 hard drives. Any suggestions and assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi:
I love recovery disks when they work, and HATE them when they don't.
Fortunately, I have a workaround for you which isn't as good as a recovery disk, but it is better than pulling your hair out, and getting nowhere.
First of all, before you try this, did you perform the recovery with only the keyboard and mouse connected?
Did you buy the same size or larger hard drive?
If your answer to either question is no, then that may be the problem.
Now to the workaround...
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 on 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.

T-40 system restore with recovery CDs to rid myself of a virus

I have a T-40 (Type 2373-19U) and yes, it's ancient in computer terms, but my T-40 has served me well, survived several upgrades and up until now I have also avoided getting viruses. I back up regularly so I was thinking of doing a restore to factory settings to make sure the virus is kicked off my machine. Does anyone have experience working with the T-40 Recovery CDs? Do I just pop them into the machine and turn it on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

greener37923, welcome to the forum,
if you still have the service partition intact you don't need the cds to return to factory settings; when you see the IBM BIOS splash screen press the F11 key and the system will load into the Rescue and recovery enviroment, you can then restore to factory from there.
If you do have to use the cds, as you said; just "pop them in" and go for it. You shouldn't have any problems.

Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

So tonight I updated my 4s over 3g to ios 7.1 it took forever and said connect to itunes. It said it was in recovery mode & needed to be restored but would wipe all content. I have never made a backup because my computers hard drive crashed (luckily the pics were on the phone) and now after updating like apple said I should it wants me to wipe my phone... I can't loose pics of my kids births and birthdays... I tried the holding buttons and letting off to exit recovery mode with no success... I don't know what to do but I swear if apple makes me loose the priceless pics of my kids I will never buy any apple device ever again... and I will make sure no family or friend ever does either... there has to be a way somehow.. some data recovery some program... I dunno if tinyumbrella can exit it for me without hacking or jailbreaking (which I don't dare/want to do) but i need a solution. I have researched this for hours and hours with no solution so far. If I have to pay $$ for it fine I will but after I recover my data that way I will be going to samsung... anyone with a solution would be greatly appreciated... any solution...

that makes no sense... it was only doing an update... if that's the case it should have promted me to back up first if this is even possible... there is a program that says it can recovery anything that hasn't been written over yet.. so would this not work? http://www.iphone-data-recovery.com/iphone-data-recovery.html or would the apple store be able to recover it??? i've done plenty of data recovery on computers... why wouldn't it be possible on an Iphone... does apple seriously not care about thier customers at all??? how about thier employees that are gonna get more than an earful tomorrow when I walk in there store??? No wonder samsung paid 2 million to apple in pennies when they got sued... (how does it feel to be screwed with apple?!)

I have had to update my iphone 4 through itunes and it has come up that itunes has found a iphone that is in recovery and needs to be restored, I cannot loose all my pics on my phone so need to know what I can do! My phone is not working now.

I have had to update my iphone 4 in itunes and it has now come up with a message, itunes has found a iphone in recovery and needs to restore it.
I dont want to do this as I cannot loose all my pics on my phone!
My phone is now not working and has an itunes symbol on it with a usb cord!!!!
Please help!!

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.
