HP Recovery Disabled - HP Pavilion Dv6.

I am trying to recover my laptop but i seem to have missed place the 4th disk needed for the recovery and i noticed i can't just do the 1-click restore feature as it is disabled.
I know its due to the creation of the 3rd "virtual" hard drive ( Partition ) .
I was wondering if there was any way around that and still be allowed to use the recovery.
Please help

Hello Mootee. So, you previously created recovery discs and lost one and now need to be able to recover. Is this correct?
Also, when you talk about the "creation of the 3rd partition" does this mean that you have your own custom partition tables? If this is the case the F11 recovery is unlikely to work.
You're going to need to order a set of recovery discs (as you can only create a single set) from HP directly. If you are in the US/Canada just give them a call at 1-800-474-6836. If you're in another part of the world you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to get your area's contact information.
I hope this information is helpful and that you have a great weekend!

I need recovery for laptop Pavilion dv6-1235ee

I need recovery for laptop Pavilion dv6-1235ee , I need the link for the recovery or send recovery cd to my mail

If you have the recovery partition intact on your notebook, you can just press F11 during boot and it will take you to the recovery mode. Just follow the instructions to perform a recovery and it will reset your notebook back to the factory settings.
In case you do not have the recovery partiion, I would advise you to go through the following document which will help you resolve the issue:

I NEED RECOVERY DISKS HP PAVILION DV6-6170SE ???/

HOW CAN I GET RECOVERY DISKS

Hi,
You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00810334&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
If you have problems getting a set of Recovery Discs, there is a work around if you have ( or can borrow ) a retail Windows 7 installation disc that is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - ie if your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the exact retail version you would need.
Use the retail disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the underside of your notebook 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.

When you press F11 it will try to run the recovery off of the hard drive.
In order to launch the recovery off the DVDs, put in DVD disc one and reboot the PC
Press F9 when rebooting and make sure the DVD drive is selected
This will begin the recovery from teh discs rather than the hard drive

HP Pavilion dv6 System Recovery disabled

I bought my HP Pavilion dv6 notebook (running Windows 7) about 2 and a half years back.
It worked beautifully for about an year and a half after which issues began to crop up. First, it was my battery that gave up (I operate it on direct power now with battery backup of around 5 minutes), then there were blue screen errors and the machine getting hot around the bottom left at times (mostly when I ran games). I still continued to use it without taking it to the techician. After a couple more months the DVD drive stopped working for no reason (it opens and closes but does not read the disks).
I had it last week when the machine's fan (I guess it's the fan) started making loud grinding noises. The noises get louder when I'm on the internet. The technician took it down and gave the fan a proper vacuum but the noise persists.
Also, the system has slowed down due to virus attacks (I suppose). There are weird advertisements on this laptop when I run sites like youtube and google. These ads that don't appear on my other laptop. Some sites take an awful lot longer to load (mostly on Google Chrome). The system also, at times, just stops responding and I have to directly switch it off without properly shutting it down.
Now, with some help from forums here I decided to run the 'System Recovery' but it displays the following message:
"Restore your computer to it's original factory condition (Disabled : Please use Recovery Media to recover your system)." I was given no disks for recovery at the time of purchase not that it would have been of any use as my DVD drive no longer works.
With some online help I also ran Hard drive and Memory tests. The Hard Drive test gives the error: "hard disk 1 quick (303)." I gather that means, my hard disk is dying a slow death now.
Now my system has ran down it's warranty and nothing seems to work. The machine seems to be in a tangle, what do I do?
I somehow would love to factory reset my laptop without an external drive. Is that Possible? What am I looking at?

I understand the problem. HERE is a thread that gives the best possible solution for the same situation.

Problem With Pavilion DV6 3052nr Recovery Manager!!!!!!!!

1. HP Pavilion DV6 3052nr
2.Windows Seven HomePre OA x64
3. On Recovery Manager : I Deleted all of my parttions on my hard disk. then when I used recovery disks to restore it to its factory set , after extracting the image files on disks to the hard drive , system restarted and boot to the Recovery manager with " Restore Incomplete " error. Just help me,pleaseeeeeeee

Hi:
You may have to purchase a set of HP recovery disks or if you can read all 25 characters of the W7 product key on the bottom of your notebook (DON'T POST IT), you can do this...
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.

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1260se with factory installed operating system of Vista. When booting up the computer, I receive a blue screen with this error message: STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}.

I do not have recovery disks for this computer. I tried to order them but them seem to not be available. This is my daughter's computer. She says she started to have trouble after downloading Frost Wire (music share) and then she removed it. We tried going back to an earlier time and that didn't help and then the blue screen with error message appeared. What do I do now?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Assuming your in the US, recovery discs are available to order for that model here. That may be the best option.
You should also be able to do a recovery without the discs as well. Take a look at this document: Recover Windows Vista Operating System Using HP Recovery, and look for the section Restore the PC to its original condition with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not accessible. This should allow you to recover the PC.

Hp pavilion dv6 6180 help me for this error when I am using my recovery disk

hp pavilion dv6 6180 help me for this error when I am using my recovery disk
The destination drive is not connected

Hello Mohammadshamlou. I understand that you're having some issues using your Recovery Disc. It is giving you the error that the drive is not connected. Is this correct? How long have you had the notebook?
What issue originally led you to want to try a recovery?
The error seems to imply that it is not detecting the hard drive as this would be the most logical destination drive. So, I feel the best thing to try first is verify that the hard drive is in proper working order. Follow these steps and please post the result.

HP Pavilion dv6 1334us won't start after windows update, stuck in Error Recovery

My computer is an HP Pavilion dv6 1334us with 32bit-windows 7. The computer did automatic updates and when it started up said there was another one avaliable through WIndows Updater. I installed the update and it said the computer needed to restart for the update to take effect. I choose to restart and the computer wouldn't boot back up, it boots to the 'Windows Error Recovery' screen where my options are 'Launch Startup Repair (recommended)' and 'Start Windows Normally'. When I select the repair, it says it loads windows files, then goes back to the error recovery screen. When I choose to start normally, it freezes the second it trys to start, flashes a blue screen and then returns to the Error Recovery page again.

Please follow the steps in the following document to troubleshoot and fix the boot issue that you are facing.

HP Pavilion dv6-6b47dx gets "Restoration Incomplete" from Recovery Manager.

I got my son's older HP Laptop, and decided to restore it before using it for myself. Previously it was working OK. An HP Pavilion dv6-6b47dx gets "Restoration Incomplete" from the Recovery Manager. I have tried running the recovery manager from both the HD partion and the DVD media I created. The HD and Memory pass. The wireless f12 key is off, and can not be turned back on from the keyboard. Some previous post have suggested the wireless being off could be a problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Hi
No that Recovery media won't work in your laptop.
ISO file can be used to clean install. You'll have to get all the 25 character alphanumeric product activation key printed on the COA label on the back of your laptop to be clearly & legibly readable for activation of ISO after install.
Tutorial: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html
For additional drivers you can get them here:
https://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=5197401&soft...
AMD chipset driver :
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows%207%20-%2064
Download, save them to a USB and install them from there during/after Win 7 installation.
You have to first install chipset, restart system - then audio driver-restart, graphic driver- restart, ethernet controller(LAN), network controller(WLAN & Bluetooth), card reader, touchpad , Protect smart hard drive protection driver, quick launch software in order.
I could see that your model came with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) pre installed.
Here is the ISO file:
http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-58997.iso
Windows 7 Home Premium x64 English
Size: 3,243,070KB, MD5 hash: a319b5826162829c436306bebea7f0ff
Source: http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325/page-2#post-124821
Download , save it to another PC, then make a bootable DVD/USB by mounting this ISO on to it by using software like Imgburn (choose lowest speed while burning to DVD).
Imgburn : http://www.imgburn.com/
This will be your Windows 7 installation disc.

Please mark the HP Recovery partition "Active" by selecting "Mark Partition as Active" using the Windows Disk Management Console. See HP - Partitioning and Naming Hard Drives (Windows 7) for information about using the Windows Disk Management Console.
If the above instructions didn't work and you didn't create your HP Recovery Media when you first setup your computer, 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.
Alternatively, if you can still read the 25-digit Windows product key on the Microsoft COA affixed to your computer, you can install Windows 7 Home Premium using this key. Please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instructions on how to download Windows 7, create the installation media, and install Windows 7 using the 25-digit product key from the Microsoft COA on your computer. This method will not install any HP customizations or value-added software and you will have to manually install all needed drivers from the HP Pavilion dv6-6c65sx Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page.

HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC unable to boot recovery disk

HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC unable to boot recovery disk. First when I power on my notebook it goes straight to the launch recovery or launch Windows normally screen. When I choose start windows normally, it goes to the window screen and freeze. When I try to launch the start-up with windows 7 start-up disk, the computer will not load the files. When I tried to complete a hard drive test, it failed with a failure ID 9UXNXA-55E65V-XD003G-60XR03.
I'm looking for a solution, can someone help?

Hi:
It sounds like you need to purchase a new hard drive for your notebook, and reinstall the operating system with your recovery disks.
When a HDD fails a diagnostic test, it normally means it is done for.

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.
