HP recovery could not restore computer error code 0xe0ef000e

I bought a nice Solid State drive.  Unfortunately it is not possible to upgrade my system to new hard drive.  It fails every time with HP recovery could not restore computer error code 0xe0ef000e.  This is after removing everything...  graphics card, ram, cd drive...  nothing is plugged in except the keyboard, monitor and mouse.
Windows 8 strikes again.  Does anyone have any suggestions about how to actually use the recovery disks to reinstall windows 8 onto a new solid state drive.  I hate this computer and wish I would have never bought it actually.  It's been nothing but crap from day one.

It's the HP 500-023w desktop.  I ended up just buying a Winodws 8.1 OEM disk and installing that on the SSD.  The recovery tool is a bit useless.  Reading through various forum posts it seems I would have ended up spending hours trying to figure it out or else buying the recovery disks from HP.  Just paying $89 for an OEM disk is a good deal by comparison since at the very least the computer has no bloatware on it now.
What a hugely unnecessary hassle really.  Now if only I could get this heap of junk to boot with a PCI-e graphics card installed I might actually be able to use it with two monitors.  Good grief.

  • Heart beat could not open connection, error code 110

    Hi, where can I find error codes for NFR and NSM?
    I have problems with some agents connecting to the engine:
    2/17/2010 16:02:55 EngineInterface: Heart beat could not open connection, error code 110
    Both engine and agent runs on the same server (10.236.19.147):

    Another OES2 server connects fine to the engine, butI have a Netware agent, which also fails to connect:

    NFR is 1.0.0
    Thanks for any input.
    Istvan

    Hi Istvan! Sorry for the delay in our response! we are in the process
    of building a list of error codes for everyone! in the meantime the 110
    means the following:
    // Couldn't create a new network interface
    #define CC_STATUS_CCS_CANT_CREATE 110
    Is this an NSM integration installation?
    Also, remove the alternate hostname.
    If you don't mind, let's move this support issue to
    filereporter"@"novell.com!
    Thank you!

    i wana restore my iphone 3g but when i restore it with itunes after some time is say  '' iphone could not restored unknow error 1015 '' help me please

    99% because your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken. We cannot help you, see terms of use.
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the software for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version isn't supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you're now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

  • The operation could not be completed (Error code -43)

    Trying to run Time Machine for first time. Get "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)." Have rebooted etc... suggestions?

    What is the partition map scheme (Apple partition map, or GUID?) and what is the format (HFS+/Mac OS Extended or other?) of the drive? For PowerPC Macs the Time Machine drive requires "Apple Partition Map", and for intel-based macs it requires "GUID". Both architectures require "HFS+" (otherwise known as "Mac OS Extended") for the format of the drives.

    This MacBook Air belongs to a VIP in our company. She is under the impression that she has received a lemon, due to the following experiences (verbatim):

    I am fully committed to this discussion and will provide any and all information needed in order to fix the issue.
    Why are there other users with the same software who are NOT experiencing the same issues?
    As a last resort, I am aware backing-up the profile/account and restoring the OS is an option. What if this plan of action doesn't solve anything? What if the problem persists?
    My technical knowledge of Apple/Mac devices is limited, and I would appreciate any advice/suggestions/support on the matter, as this is a high priority issue and I would like to learn from this so as to avoid any similar issues that I may encounter in the future.

    Hello Warren, which Mail App?
    Generally,
    SMTP error 554 (Transaction failed) is one of the most vague error codes, but is typically caused by something in the From or To headers that server doesn't like.
    In other words, the problem is in the sender or recipient email address.
    It can be caused by
    The sender address isn't valid.
    The server thinks this email is spam or server IP address has been blacklisted
    A spam trap identifying your machine as a relay, or as a machine not trusted to send mail from your domain.

  • System Recovery does not work. Error Code: 0xe0ef003

    I have a Touchsmart 310 1125y - Upon bootup was getting a BOOTMGR is missing. I tried the system recover on the hard drive and that failed with the error code: 0xe0ef003. I went ahead and purchased the cd revovery discs from HP Site ( 4 plus the supplimental reovery disc) and ran all of them and got down to disc 4 and then that same error came up. When I tried to reboot, it comes up to a blank screen with the flashing cursor in the top left corner. I hit ctrl/alt/del and the HP Blue screen comes up, when I hit the F11 now it just goes to a blank screen again with the cursor in the top left corner. Any other suggestions on how I can fix this?

  • Operation could not be completed error code 10657

    I have a iomega external HD that I am trying to use to back up my macbook pro. I just upgraded to 10.5.8. I used the iomega before using retrospect software to back up and now was trying to use time machine. Time machine went through the entire backup, but when I try to open anything I get the error message above.
    Any ideas of what I need to do?
    Thanks

    I used migration assistant.  There was a message that the transfer was complete.    I googled the error message -
    I got the solution to this problem at the Genius Bar.
    As they explained it, Time Machine is software that saves files on the backup drive in a format that can only be read by Time Machine. So, when you open Time Machine, you can click on any file and it will open.
    If you try to open a file directly from the backup drive, it needs a program to open it, and if Time Machine is not open, you get the error message.
    If your computer crashes, when you get it fixed (or get a new Mac)and when you connect the backup drive, Time Machine will recognize it, will ask you if you want to associate it with your computer, and when you say yes, all your backed-up files are availabel and copied back into the computer.
    I am so very afraid to do ANYTHING!!!!
