HP Recovery Manager for Windows 8 Pro

HP Envy Sleekbook 4-1080ee
Came with Windows 7, 64 bit & downloaded Windows 8 Pro upgrade from Microsoft
I just got this machine as new and straight away upgraded to Windows 8 Pro without creating any backup media for the Original Windows 7 that came with it.
Now in Windows 8 pro if I try to run Recovery Manager to create a recovery for future use, I get an error stating as follows:
"Recovery Manager was for Windows 7. It's not compatible with Windows 8"
How do I solve this issue. Please Help

HP Backup and Recovery Manager for Windows 7

I installed all the softwares and drivers that came along with the HP upgrade DVD. But, I find that the Backup and Recovery Manager missing on the DVD. Is there a Backup and Recovery Manager for Win 7? I liked the backup and recovery manager that was available on my Vista when I bought this laptop but is now unavailable because of the upgrade!! Any solutions for this? I do not want to use the default Windows Backup as I do not have a separate HDD at the moment to store the backup there and do not wish to populate my local hard disk with backup data!! Thanks.

Yea, basically. There's no working program for your laptop so it seems that you can use from within Windows 7.
However, if you have problems, recovery discs will work. As well, if your recovery partition still exists, you can still access it by pressing F11 when you see the HP logo at startup.

Can no longer find Recovery Manager for Windows 8

I have a new HP Envy dv6t 7300 notebook. I have turned it on twice. First time I only created my computer name and user ID name and password. Second time (a few minutes ago) I activated Windows 8 and immediately went to create system recovery disks. I typed in the search box "Recovery Manager", clicked on it, and chose "Recovery Media Creation." It then gave me the message "You are only allowed to create ONE set of media recovery" to which I clicked on "I accept." It then took me to the screen that said "Please insert one of the following media". (I was following a you tube explanation of how to do this and so far everything was fine.) However, when it got to this screen, it appeared (from the you tube video), that I was supposed to click on my choice of the media I was going to use (either flashdrive, DVD, or DVDDL.) However, nothing would happen when I tried to click on "DVD". Instead, below the choices to use, the "gear" icon kept spinning, acting like it was going to do something....but it kept spinning and spinning. Since it said at the top of this screen "Please insert one of the following media", I thought maybe I needed to put in the DVD. So I did. Still nothing happened. The gear continued to spin. So I thought maybe the computer was hung. So I took out the DVD and closed out of Recovery Manager thinking I'd try again. Now, however, when I type in the search box "Recovery Manager" nothing comes up. Just the message "No settings match your search." Certainly I can still make these disks, right??? Certainly my "one" time isn't gone because I closed out. Please someone help me! Thanks

Hello parob12,
You’re not able to create recovery media.
If it started the recovery creation, it might have counted that as the one set.
You can call HP and let them know what happened and they should send be able to send you a set.
Here is a link to the phone number.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

'Recovery Service for Windows'

Hi. Looking at "Services" and "Startup" processes on a tx2500z, "Hide all Microsoft services" checked, what is:
"Recovery Service for Windows", manufacturer Unknown. Thnx.

Hi. Some additional information from task manager.. This process points to BLService.exe*32, located in C:\WIndows\SMINST, with the description 'Application MFC STServices'. From what I understand this BLService is an HP solution to a microsoft bitlocker process?
I'm not having a problem with this application that I am aware of (not like the ppl were having in this thread). I just want to know generally what it is doing and if disabling it from system start-up will increase overall performance.
Thnx

How to create recovery disk for windows 8.1 after update from windows 8.

My laptop came with windows 8 and i have recovery discs for windows 8.
Now i've updated to windows 8.1, so i want to creat recovery discs for windows 8.1.
So in future when i use recovery discs i dont have to download windows 8.1 again.
Please tell me if there is any way to do this.....

As colakid posted, in Windows 8 the ability to create a recovery CD/DVD has gone. Your options are to:
create a recovery USB; or
create a recovery image.
Recovery USB
Colakid's post talks you through how to make a recovery USB: from control panel, choose Recovery, then Create a Recovery Drive, and follow the prompts.
However, the 'recovery USB' can be a bit misleading. When the wizard starts, there is an option to 'copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive'. If you do not check this option, you will still need installation media to reset your PC.
Since you have upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, you will probably not be able to check this option, as it will be greyed out (like it is in the picture in Colakid's post).
If you go ahead and create the USB anyway, you will be able to boot to it, but you won't be able to reinstall Windows unless you have the installation media (or possibly a system image, though I haven't tried that).
Recovery image
The recovery image is an image of your computer that Windows will use when you select the 'refresh my pc' option. You can create a recovery image using the recimg.exe tool.
First, open an elevated command prompt (type cmd and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter).
Next, create the recovery image by typing:
recimg /createimage [path]
Where [path] is the folder you want the image in, eg C:\Recovery. You cannot set the file name - it will always be called CustomRefresh.wim.
Let it run its course. When it's done, you can check that it is the current recovery image by typing
recimg /showcurrent
It's important to keep in mind what a recovery image contains. It will have your Windows system files (in their current state), and the desktop apps you have installed (so it makes sense to do this after a fresh install of Windows). It will
not backup any Metro apps or user files, because these are not deleted during a system refresh. If you want a complete backup of everything on your computer the way it is now, you should make take a complete system image (which
can be done from the File History settings in control panel - at the bottom left there will be a 'System Backup Image' option - or you can do it using any other backup software like Ghost or Acronis).
In my case, I created the recover image straight after upgrading to Windows and it was about 6 GB.
Prepare/Create and register an recovery partition, so the option Copy the Recovery Partition becomes available in the recovery drive UI application.
In elevated command run> RECIMG -CREATEIMAGE C:\REFRESHIMAGE<
This will create a new custom.wim in a folder Refreshimage.
Now lets get ready to register the path of the image, so our create recovery drive option(COPY THE RECOVERY PARTITION FROM THE PC TO THE RECOVERY DRIVE) becomes available.
> In the folder you created there will be a> custom.wim<
change it to>INSTALL.wim<
> Create a folder In Cd/directory using Elevated command> mkdir c:\Win8.1-Recovery,>
Win81-Recovery<.
> Copy the INSTALL.WIM. Put in the Win81-recovery folder created.
> Run in elevated commad>REAGENTC /SetOSImage /Path C:\Win81-Recovery\INSTALL.WIM /Index 1<
Do not copy the arrows if using copy and paste, that is my way of pointing out lines of code
Information provided by the link below, thanks Keith. I simplified the process for easy following and added my own tweak from trial and error for the install.

SCCM 2012 Software Update Management for Windows Servers and how to automatic set SCOM maintenance mode?

Hi,
We planning to go one level higher to automat and have more dynamic Software Update Management for Windows Servers. We have SCCM 2012 R2, SCOM 2012 R2 and SCO 2012 R2.
Our plan is to pur server in an AD-Group to get Update Schedule, from the servers will be importet to an Collection for Automatic Update and reboot. If I understand Everything right SCOM can't read AD-Group and put then in an Schedule maintenance mode. SCOM
can read reg value as exempel.
IS there any smar way to make the SCOM Maintenance Mode Schedule dynamic?
I found this
http://www.scom2k7.com/scom-2012-maintenance-mode-scheduler/?
/SaiTech

You could use Orchestrator to put the servers from a specific collection, or AD group, in maintenance mode in SCOM. For an example see:

How do i run a new software program (Investment Account Manager for Windows) using Windows emulation software?

How can I run a new software program (Investment Account Manager for Windows) using Windows emulation software?

You will need a licensed copy of Windows 7, and I recommend VMFusion. You can run the program in Unity mode just as if it were a Mac application. Or, you can install Windows in Bootcamp and run the Mac in Windows when you boot and run it that way. Depends on the resources. I prefer the VM method because it is cleaner and gives you more options as far as backups, etc.

Recovery Disk for windows 7

I upgraded to windows 7 via the disk sent to me from Toshiba; how do you get or make the recovery disk for

With an upgrade, you'd have to first reinstall Vista, using the recovery media, then you'd have to apply the upgrade.
A better solution is to buy a program like Acronis TrueImage and use it to make a restorable image backup of your hard drive with Windows 7.

Power Manager for Windows 8.1

Where is Power Manager for Windows 8.1? (For ThinkPad Edge series laptops)
There is a "Lenovo Power Management Driver", but no application/software to go along with it.
Does anyone know?

Good day and welcome to the community.
Please see: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8-and-8-1/ThinkPad-software-for-Windows-8/td-p/899865
There is no official support for ThinkVantage Power Manager beyond Windows 7.
There are reports that some have installed it, but there are warnings that it may(?) clash with Windows 8/8.1 native power management functions and potentially cause system instability.

Battery gauge error running Power Manager for Windows XP version 5.20

Last week on my R61 (8932-CTO), Update Retriever and System Update requested that I download and install ThinkPad Power Manager for Windows XP version 5.20. After rebooting, I immediately received an error box with the following message:
An exception occurred while trying to run"C:\Progra~1\ThinkPad\UTILIT~1\PWRMGRTR.DLL,PwrMgrBkGndMonitor"
As a result of this error, the battery gauge no longer displays correctly. The space where it used to be is blank, but clicking the empty space still gives you the option of starting Power Manager.
What is puzzling about this is that version 5.20 is not available in either in the Driver Matrix, nor on the Downloads and Drivers web page. The version of the software that is presented there is version 5.13.
The driver for ThinkPad Power Manager for Windows XP - version 5.20 can be downloaded from:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/ghu704ww.exe
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/ghu704ww.txt
Another interesting point, is that this version of the driver has, as yet, not been presented to me on my R500 (2714CTO), although both machine types are listed as supported models.
Why are Update Retriever and System Update downloading software that apparently has not been officially released yet? Why is this only happening on my R61 and not on my R500?
And last of all, why has his software been released when it seems to have an obvious problem?
Any explanations would be appreciated.
ThinkPad R61 8932-CTO T8300 2.40 Ghz 3GB RAM Win XP
ThinkPad R500 2714-CTO P8600 2.40 Ghz 3GB RAM Win XP; Two ThinkPad R500's 2714-CTO T9600 2.80 Ghz 4GB RAM Win 7

ThinkCenter A63 5237-CTO 3GB Ram Win XP; A21m and a pair of 380XD's

I just wanted to confirm that the last working version for Windows XP is version 5.05 revision 04.
It can be downloaded from Lenovo:
