HP Pavilion G6-2320TX - Recovery Disc

Hi Experts,
I own aforementioned laptop which came with Windows 8 pre-installed. I haven't yet created recovery disks. It also has pre-installed 'norton internet security' trial. Couple of questions below:
Do I have to create recovery discs before installing/uninstalling any new/existing softwares?
Norton now asks me for activation (paid) and I am planning to uninstall it. Will it cause any issues if I try to recover using recovery discs at later stage? This question comes because wiki says 'A recovery disc is a general term for media containing a backup of the original factory condition or a favored condition of a computer as configured by an original equipment manufacturer or an end-user.'
Regards,
Nikhil

Hi:
Yes you can.
Here are the instructions and you should be all set.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

Restore Pavilion g6 without recovery discs?

The hard drive in our Pavilion g6 (1b67cl) failed. It won't boot...it won't do much of anything. I bought a new hard drive, but we cannot find the recovery discs. Is it possible to restore the laptop to the factory settings (including Windows 7 Home Edition) without the recovery discs?

Hi:
You can't restore the PC to factory settings without the recovery disks as there is no recovery partition on the new hard drive.
If you can read the 25 character W7 product key on the bottom of your notebook you can make a plain windows 7 installation media as follows...
Download the applicable version of W7 that came with your notebook. For example, windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
Use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html
Use the 25 character W7 Pro product key you have.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

HP Pavilion dv6 1444ee Recovery Disc Issue

Hi,
I created three recovery discs soon after I purchased my laptop..The Recovery Disc #1 was inside the optical disc tray while I was resolving some issues on a Linux distro called Backtrack5..Playing around with linux' bootloader and when I tried booting from the Optical drive (i-e Recovery Disc labelled #1) the PC did not recognise it at all..Somehow I managed to run the existing installation of Windows7 (the original one that came with my laptop) and inside Computer it shows that my Optical drive has no filesystem and occupies 0 bytes..But in "Create and format partitions" the optical drive shows to have a RAW filesystem..
The question is: Is there any way to get back the Recovery Disc #1?? If not,any other measure that I could take now so that in the future I can reinstall my factory shipped OS..
Thanks

You can order recovery media here, or call HP on the phone to order 1-800-474-6836

Pavilion DV6 3300se Recovery Disc

i wan to download all recovery files

HP does not provide Recovery file downloads. If the PC still has the original OS install, all of the necessary files for recovery are in the Recovery partition, typically D: on the hard drive. If the hard drive has been replaced with a new/different drive, then the Recovery set is needed to reinstall like "Factory Fresh". If you did not make the Recovery set on the PC when it was new and there is no chance of doing it now, then order a set from HP. See HERE.

I have an HP Pavilion g6 laptop, and am trying to set up my recovery discs. I get an error message

I have an HP Pavilion g6 laptop, and am trying to set up my recovery discs. I get an error message that states "inserted media not supported". I am using CD-R Music discs. Is the problem "Music" ? Will it not recognize a blank music disc?

Hi,
Yes, it is the discs that are the problem - you will need to use good quality DVD+R or DVD-R discs. See the section under the sub-heading 'Create a set of operating system Recovery Discs' on the link below.

Recovery Discs: HP Pavilion dv4-1222nr

I have an HP Pavilion dv4-1222nr Entertainment Notebook PC running Windows Vista that currently cannot find a bootable disc. I am trying to buy a recovery disc using HP's support options but the search never finishes. It states to let it run for 3 minutes but it runs for hours without returning results/no results. Any idea where I can find one? All I need it for is to get some old documents off this laptop. Used this search:http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-dv4-1200-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/3768829/model/3866464#Z7_3054ICK0KGTE30AQO5O3KA30R1

Hello Busterbrown92,
I see that you are having problems with the recovery disc creation on your HP computer.
I would suggest contacting HP support and telling them what is happening so that you can get some options for recovery media.

Windows XP
s/n: {Removed for privacy}

I need a recovery disc with the OS and drivers for my notebook. I am aware I will probably have to pay for one. Any help out there? Thanks in advance forum!

Hi:
You have a HP Pavilion dv6105us Notebook PC.
You can try calling HP at one of these 2 numbers to see if you can get a set of recovery disks from them.
800-474-6836 or 888-999-4747.
If you can't get them from HP anymore, you can get them from this 3rd party vendor for $27 + shipping.

Recovery Discs from HP won't start in my HP Pavilion Dv7

I have an HP Pavilion dv7 that I need to wipe clean due to spyware. I bought the System Recovery DVD's from HP and on them it states "to begin, insert the disc into the optical drive of your computer and follow the on-screen instructions." Unfortunately I insert the disc and I get the info from the disc to come up but no instructions. I have even tried to make the laptop run from the disc drive at start up. when I did that it wanted me to create system recovery discs. I do not need to make them, I have them from HP. Just frustrated on why the disc from HP are not doing as instructed.
Here is a picture of the screen I get when the disc are inserted:
I really do hope someone can help me I have been waiting to do this for weeks since I had to wait for the discs.
Thank you,
KC

You're very welcome, KC.
If you can't boot from the DVD, it could indeed be a bad disk.
Also, make sure you have disk 1 in first to boot from.
And yes, you should get a very brief message to hit any key to boot from CD, so watch carefully for it.
If you miss it you have to start all over again and reboot the PC.
