Hp pavillion a000 recovery disk error.. where to go from here?

HI.. .fIRST Thank you so much for being here today...
I have an HP pavillion a000 which was bought used.
About a week ago I got pre-windows msgs. on the 3rd time it has frozen at this point
Msg as follows...
bla bla.. but windows did not start successfully..
a recent hardwared or software change may have caused this..
It has counted down and started in normal mode..
then it has frozen.. and I have tried to start it it all modes..
This last attempt actually started windows and went back to this screen
I put in the compaq recovery disk... I get red screen saying recovery disk error..
PLEASE Contact support
I have un plugged..re plugged and we go in circles...
I'm not sure where to go from here but any suggestions would be VERY appreciated as I do have some artwork I was doing stuck in computer now..
Do you think it's a software,, hardware or even a virus thing??
Additional info... Hp pavillion a000 system no.174A-ABA. hw bom 8121110 sw bom NA 40
serial no. mxk34916m
operating system.. Windows xp... yes I tried recovery disks I have.. puter says...non compatible..
I use firefox as browser via century link dsl..
I can pull the hard drive and I have a harness for accessing the hard drive directly via usb download if you think that's an option but not letting me into windows even has me doubtful that would work;;;
So as I mentioned.. ANY sugestions you can offer as what to try next would be MOST welcome!
I can replace the computer easy enough but I would love to be ables to rescue my art in progress at least!

Hello ValeryWildflowr,
If the computer was working fine before you might just want to try a system restore. This should correct the problem without affecting any of your files.
Here is a link for a system restore.
Let me know if this helps.

New Server Installation, now client computers can't connect to services. Where to go from here?

Hello.
I recently had to setup a new Mac Mini Server (Mavericks). We had one previously but one of the raided hard drives failed. No backup.
Our office of 6 Apple MacBook Pros used to connect to all file sharing and calendar services, easily.
On the new Server installation, I added the same users with the same passwords etc. The client computers cannot access calendars, file sharing etc. On the clients, I have opened up System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options > Network Account Server and added the FQDN of the server, but I get an error ' Unable to add server. Connection failed to the directory server. (2100) '
2 of the clients are on Mountain Lion. The rest are on the latest Mavericks.
I'm a bit lost on where to go from here and would appreciate your help before I wipe everything and start from scratch.
Thanks.

Hi Strontium90
Ha! There was a time machine backup, but we had a storm here which rendered it and the server useless. We are such a small team without an 'IT' guy, apart form me as I have a vague interest in all things Apple.
What is your DNS name space?
Do you need the name here?
Do the servers and the client agree on this name?
Not sure what you mean. The domain name works as when I type it into a web browser, I can see the 'Welcome to Server' page.
Did you enable an Open Directory Master?
Yes. Open Directory is running.
Did you grant the users/group access to the service you are offering?
Yes. All services are checked for each user.
Make sure the user/group is permitted to access your enabled services.
All allowed, too.
Oh, and implement a backup strategy
Will do, once I sort out this problem. Time Machine and off-site, I think.

Hp Pavillion Dv7 Recovery Disks

I really hope someone can help me out.
I have an old Hp Pavillion Dv7-1262 i bought in 2008. I had to restore it twice before and ordered the recovery disks from HP around 2010. The recovery disks come with Windows Vista Home Premium. They have worked perfectly before no matter the problem even when i bought a new hard drive.
Recently my laptop for some unknown reason stopped booting any software/operating system. Computer turns on but does not load Windows.
When i put the disks in Recovery Manager appears (does not give any other options other than loading the disk) but it stops almost half way through. The error message 1005 and does not let me put in the second disk out of the three.
Anyone know what it could be? Could it be the hard drive? or do the Recovery Disks need to be bought again? (there is no damage to them, have they run their expiration?)
If its the Hard Drive what kind should i get?
Thank you

HP G62-357CA Recovery Disk Error code OxeOef000e

I am trying to recover my HP notebook G62-357 and when I am on the second disk it is giving me the following error. Can anybody please help.
"Recovery Manager could not restore your computer using the factory image. Please contact HP Support.
Error code : OxeOef000"
I am using Windwos 7 operting system, and these recovery disk are the original ones came with the system, were never opened or used, so I do not think any issue with the CDs itself.
Just so you know I am out of the warranty, so can't call HP. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Recovery Disk Error : cannot read from source file or disk HOW TO FIX ISSUE

I have had my satellite L655-S5096 for some time now.. I had to switch out hard-drives the other day and installed windows 7 home on it from my own disk. I tried to download all the drivers needed, but the graphics and wifi drivers never worked, so I pulled out the old toshiba disks to start from new with this harddrive.. It gets to asking me for the second disc, then the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM" This is from the "out of the box" setting, which is recommended. I do not know how to fix this issue besides reinstalling windows 7 from my disc and trying to get the drivers to work again.. however I shouldn't have to since I have the Toshiba recovery disks.. do I need new disks?
Yes, I also had the hard drive drivers and all of that installed.. my toshiba reads the HDD just fine.

Satellite L655-S5096
Downloads here.
the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM"
My best guess is that the disc is not readable. Try copying it to another. Sometimes that works.
Otherwise, order new discs from Toshiba.

Hey Sharon,

Unable to make recovery disk-Error code:020123

I just recently bought Satellite P755-S5265 and I am having trouble creating recovery discs.
When using the Recovery Media Creator program, I can create Discs 1 to 3, but am having trouble on disc 4.
About halfway during the downloading sequence this error pops up:
Failure to open file
D:\DATA.INI
(Error Code:020123-F1-0000000)
I have gone through several DVD-R discs each having the same error.
I've also tried using the Hard Disk Recovery utility to restore the computer to manufactory settings, but the same error pops up again.
Could someone please help me out?
I appreciate an help I can get.
Thank you in advance

If you're getting the error both when creating recovery media and when recovering the computer using the recovery partition, it sounds like there's a problem with the data on the recovery partition itself.
I'd contact support at (800) 457-7777.

Recovery disk error message

Hi,
I am trying to create a recovery back up dvd of the software on my new a666d-st2g01 laptop. When I attempt to do this I get an error message telling me to "insert blank media". I am trying to use memorex DVD-rs. Does anyone know what I can do about this?
Thanks

Maybe this one?

If the DVD burner works for ordinary data, then there may be something wrong with the program. If necessary, you can get them from Toshiba.
Order Toshiba Recovery Media

Pavilion dv7-5003tx replace hdd recovery disks error code OxeOefoooe please help.

have tried both recoveries hangs at 45% and goes no where

Hi,
One factor that can cause this error is replacing the original HDD with a drive of smaller capacity - if this is the case, recovery discs almost always fail to work correctly, however there isAssuming this is an alternative option you could try.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - 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
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label 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.

Any additional drivers and software you may need can be found Here.

Hi ! Iuse memorex DVD-R. What I would do is buy a usb and create your recovery on it. That is if your machine will boot to a USB. I have a 16GB USB with my recovery on it. It would be a lot easier to use it than all those discs You can check boot sequence to see if your machine will boot from USB
