When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
The above requested information can be found on the bottom of your computer, inside the battery compartment, or on the BIOS setup screen. Please DO NOT include your serial number. Enter the model/product information into HP's Online Consumer Support page and post it here for our review.
If you installed a generic copy of Windows 7 on your computer prior to creating your personal HP Recovery Discs, you may no longer be able to do so. If the "HP Recovery" partiton still exists on the hard drive and hasn't been damaged, please use the Windows Disk Management Console to mark or set the HP Recovery partition as active and reboot your computer. Please see HP - Partitioning and Naming Hard Drives (Windows 7) for information about using the Windows Disk Management Console. Upon rebooting, the computer should start the HP Recovery process. After recovering the computer to a factory like state, you should be able to create your personal HP Recovery Discs.
If this doesn't work, please contact official HP support in your region / country via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to see if HP Recovery Media is available for your computer.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • I can not find a Flash version of the BIOS for HP Pavilion tx1320er.

    Good day!
    I can not find a Flash version of the BIOS for HP Pavilion tx1320er.
    I can not start the laptop black screen at startup, all the LEDs are lit, read this bill is that it is written bios. The battery dropped does not help, when you turn to pressed keys windows laptop B responds uttering a sound. but I have no USB BIOS version, so just to be sure of the death of my laptop.
    P.S. I write a google transleyt sorry for the errors of translation.

    Hello,
    What does "I tried the apt version of which doesn't download," mean? Are you trying to download from get.adobe.com/flashplayer or from Ubuntu's Update Manager?
    BTW, I deleted your other thread.  Posting the same topic in multiple threads doesn't help your issue get answered quicker and does lead to confusion in responding to two different threads.

  • After rescue and recovery, I can not find the documents

    After rescue and recovery, I can not find the documents created after the restore point date.
    Moderator note: subject line adjusted for clarity.

    Hi,
    not sure, what exactly the description should tell me, but I guess, that your scenario is like this:
    - you captured some RnR backup
    - made some changes to the system
    - restored the backup
    and now the changes, that you have mde afte the backup was captured are gone.
    If this is your case, then this is a correct situation.
    The backup will restore the whole system back to the stage, as you selected, while it will remove/modify the packages, that have been changed/created  after the time, when the backup was captured.
    In the stage, where you have restored the system, you had the chance to save some files, but as it looks, this did not happened.
    Please correct me if I understod it wrongly.
    Cheers

  • Satellite A205 S4797 - can not find drivers for my drive

    I have recovery disks and Windows Vista installation disk. When I try to install error meesage says it can not find drivers for my drive.
    I tried scannong CD drive and it cannot find them do 32-bit, 64-bit all have different drivers and if so where do I get the one I need if not from the install disk or recovery disk from manuf.?

    If you cannot use original Toshiba recovery DVD for OS installation I can imagine there is some problem with DVD itself (some missing file or scratch) but Microsoft Vista installation MUST work on this notebook model.
    If this doesnt work too there must be some problem with HDD. Just if you want to install WXP you need to load SATA driver at start-up but Vista must work.
    Can you please tell me what happen when you try to install Vista from Microsoft Vista installations DVD?

  • Folder from my desktop has disappeared and I can not find it!

    I'm hoping someone out there can help me. To put it in short, I have been typing my notes for an exam that I need to pass for my medical license for the last couple of months. Yesterday I went to save the newest document to the folder (which I had saved on the Desktop of my Mac) and it wasn't there anymore. I'm not sure if any other files are missing because that was the main one that I was using at the time. I went into Microsoft Word and File > Recent and they are all listed there but when I click to open them it says that it can not find the file and if I would like to search for it myself. I do have an external hard drive but I guess I did not back up my stuff since I started working on these notes (yeah yeah I know dumb mistake). Can anyone help? I tried using StellarPhoenixMac recovery but I don't think it found anything worth while. Thanks.

    Try repairing disk permissions using Disk Utility.
    Repairing a disk's permissions using Disk Utility.
    Note: This should not delete any information or files from the disk.
    Repairing a disk's permissions can help solve various file-related issues.
    To begin, make sure your external disk that you are repairing is connected to the computer. If you are repairing an internal disk, skip this step.
    After the drive is connected, launch the Disk Utility application in any of the following ways:
    Type the first few letters of its name into Spotlight. Select it from the results.
    Go Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Go Launchpad > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Once you are in the Disk Utility app, select the external drive from the sidebar on the left.
    Then, choose the Repair Disk Permissions button on the right.
    If this does not solve your issues, you may have no choice but to reformat the drive using Disk Utility.
    I hope I answered your question.

  • Download ios 7, and the location function is off, I can not access because I forgot the key constraints, I can not restore the iphone because I can not find iphone app access

    download ios 7, and the location function is off, I can not access because I forgot the key constraints, I can not restore the iphone because I can not find iphone app access

    If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
    http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
    If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod),  however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

  • I can't finde the recovery disc from my Satellite A100-163

    My A100 will not load - can't find the recovery disc. Can I use my A60 recovery disc on my A100 - 163 laptop?

    Sorry, but you cant use the recovery disk from the A60. It will not work.
    You can order a new recovery disk from Toshiba:
    https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/
    Or you go to an ASP (authorized service provider) to get a new one:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Find an ASP
    You can also use an original Microsoft disk, but there you must install all drivers manual and this takes a lot of time.

  • Satellite A300 - I can't find the recovery disk creator

    Hi everybody!
    Need some help with my Satellite A300. I lost the optical recovery disc I burned when the laptop was new. Now when I'm trying to burn a new recovery disc I can't find the Recovery Disc Creator - not on the desktop or in the Start meny. I still have the folder with all the recovery files left - a folder named HDDRecovery with size 4.5 GB. The problem is to find out how to burn the disc.
    Can anyone help?
    //iMate, Sweden

    Hello
    F8 will works just if you didnt change anything with first partition and if you still use factory settings.
    "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" cannot be gone for no reason. Either you have removed it from the system or you have installed own Vista OS.
    I don't want to speculate why you cannot use F8 anymore but fact is that for new Vista installation you need recovery DVD.
    You can order one under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Just did a system restore from my time machine and I can not find any of my files from my desktop.  How can I find them?

    I am a new apple user...sorry it took so long.  I did a recovery from my time machine but I can not find any of the filesI was saving on my desktop.  Are they gone for good or is there some way I can get them back?  I am desperate...should I save my regular used files somewhere else other than my desktop?
    Can I get the old desktop files back????

    When you open TM you should see all of the desktop items right away.  If they are not there, go back a day before you  made your last retrieval.  (Look for the dates on the time line on the right hand side of the display)

  • Sysprep and Capture Task Sequence Fails "Can not find script file C:\LTIBootstrap.vbs"

    I've just installed Windows 8 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T440s using Lenovo's recovery discs. I did not join it to a domain. I logged in as Administrator, navigated to our deployment share, and ran Scripts\LiteTouch.wsf. I selected the new Sysprep and Capture
    Task Sequence that I just made, told it to upload to DeploymentShare$\Captures, then started the Task Sequence.
    It seemed to run fine until after the first reboot. Windows 8 configured the PC for a while, then displayed an error that it had been shut down unexpectedly. I wasn't sure if this was normal, so I just clicked OK. Then I got an error that said "Can
    not find script file C:\LTIBootstrap.vbs". After clicking OK on that, I am brought to the desktop.
    The image cannot be found in DeploymentShare$\Captures. Under the Monitoring section of the DeploymentWorkbench, I can see that MDT thinks the Task Sequence is still running on the machine (though it is not), with progress stuck on step 16 of 23: Execute
    Sysprep. There are 0 errors and 0 warnings listed.

    I would greatly appreciate any assistance determining what went wrong and how to correct it. Thank you.

    You might get teh c:\LTIBootStrap.vbs error if you are running SysPrep with a unattend.xml template that contains the c:\bootstrap.vbs template, yet you are *NOT* deploying the image with MDT Litetouch, instead just applying the image to the final machine.
    Crack open your install.wim file and search for the unattend.xml file in the normal places to see what it is.
    I am concerned about the "shut down unexpectedly" error. There should be no shutdown state information left  from a captured *.wim file.

    Follow these steps, testing after each.
    Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
    Restart your device.
    Remove the SIM card. If the SIM card is damaged, worn, or bent, or if it's too big or small for the SIM tray, contact your carrier for a new one. Then reinsert the SIM card.
    Check for a carrier-settings update: Connect to a Wi-Fi network, tap Settings > General > About, and install any available carrier-settings updates. If you can't connect to Wi-Fi, connect your device to a computer that has iTunes.
    Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.

    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data.

    When prompted, press the 7 key to "Disable driver signature enforcement".
    Reconnect the device.
    If the device is recognized successfully, then you'll need to perform these steps each time you start your computer. Consult Microsoft, or whoever supports the installation of Windows on your computer, for more troubleshooting to resolve the issue without having to select this option each time.
    If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed
    Disconnect the device from the computer.
    Save a screenshot by pressing the Home button and the Wake/Sleep button at the same time (the screen should flash briefly). Taking screenshots and saving images on iPod touch requires iOS version 2.0 or later.
    Reconnect the device to the computer.
    Open the Device Manager in Windows:
    Windows Vista or Windows 7:
    Click Start.
    In the dialog, type devmgmt.msc.
    Press Return.
    If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
    Expand all the sections labeled below (not all sections might be listed):
    Imaging Devices
    Other Devices
    Portable Devices
    Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    Look for the entry that recognizes the device as a camera. This entry should be called Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod.
    If only "Unknown Device" appears:
    Right-click on the "Unknown Device" entry.
    Choose "Properties" from the shortcut menu.
    Click the Details tab.
    In the drop-down menu, select "Hardware IDs."
    If the hardware ID displayed starts with:
    USB\VID_0000&PID_0000
    This means that Windows cannot read the hardware IDs of the device, and so has replaced them with all zeros. This is typically caused by a faulty USB connection, or an incompatibility with your USB chipset drivers.
    Disconnect the device, and unplug all USB devices from your computer.
    Shut your computer down, then power it back on.
    Reconnect your device, testing each USB port for approximately 30 seconds to see if your device is recognized.
    Test with an alternate, known-good 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable if available.
    If you have an external USB 2.0 hub available, connect the hub to your PC, and then connect the iOS device to the hub.
    If your device shows up in iTunes, try disconnecting the external USB 2.0 hub and connecting the iOS device directly to your PC. If the issue returns, you may need to use the external USB 2.0 hub as a temporary workaround. Then, consult your computer manufacturer for any updates for your USB chipset.
    If "Unknown Device" appears when connecting your device to more than 1 known-good computer, with more than 1 known-good USB cable, your device might need service. Learn more about your service options.
    If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode
    Your device might not be recognized while in recovery mode. This can happen during an update or restore of your device. Typically, when your device is in recovery mode, it will show the "Connect to iTunes" logo on its display. If iTunes does not recognize the device when in this state:
    Windows Vista or Windows 7:
    Click Start.
    In the dialog, type devmgmt.msc.
    Press Return.
    If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
    Click the disclosure triangle () (for Windows 7 and 8) next to Imaging Devices, Other Devices, Portable Devices, and Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand these sections.
    Check these sections for one or more entries called Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode). These entries might or might not have exclamation marks on them.
    If you see only one "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" entry that has no errors on it:
    Find out if the computer has USB 3.0 ports. Within Universal Serial Bus Controllers, locate any entries containing "USB 3.0" or "SuperSpeed USB" in the title. If these are listed, you have USB 3.0.If you have USB 3.0:
    Try to connect the device to a different USB port. Try each port until the device is recognized. Some computers will have dedicated USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. If so, a USB 2.0 port might resolve the issue.
    Refer to your computer manufacturer for updates to the USB 3.0 chipset drivers.
    If the issue persists, continue to "Check for third-party software conflicts."
    If you do not have USB 3.0
    Continue to "Check for third-party software conflicts."
    If you see two "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" entries with exclamation marks on them:
    Open the Device Manager and connect your device.
    Click the View menu.
    Select "Devices by connection."
    Locate the erroneous "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" entries. You might need to expand all sections of the Device Manager to see them.
    Directly above these entries will be a USB Composite Device entry.
    Depending on your version of Windows, take the following steps to update this driver:
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8:
    Right-click the parent USB Composite Device entry.
    Choose Update Driver Software from the shortcut menu.
    Click "Browse my computer for driver software".
    Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
    Click the Have Disk button.
    In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.
    Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
    Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
    Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps.
    Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly, and continue restoring your device.
    Check for third-party software conflicts
    Certain phone and cellular device connectivity software from vendors such as Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, Sony, Android, LG, Sierra, Huawei, Pantech, or Motorola might cause your device not to be recognized. If you have such software on your computer:
    Uninstall the phone or cellular connectivity software temporarily, and test. Contact the manufacturer of this software for assistance in doing this. If you use the third-party phone or cellular device for your Internet connection, try connecting to an alternate network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
    Remove iTunes and all related Apple software.
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    After reinstalling iTunes, test the device.
    If you still need your third-party phone or cellular connectivity software that was removed, reinstall this software and test your device to ensure it still functions with iTunes. Contact the vendor of your phone connectivity software if the issue returns.
    Also, third-party security software might conflict with iOS devices connecting to iTunes. Follow this article to troubleshoot issues that might be caused by your security software. After resolving any issues that you might have with your security software, you might need to try the steps in this article again.
    I hope this information helps ....
