Hp recovery manager pro x2 612 tablet

i need download hp recovery manager for hp pro x2 612 tablet

Hi
You cannot download Recovery manager stand alone, it is a partition and if you have wiped it or removed it or deleated it. You can call HP & Order Recovery Disks from HP which has the OS and factory shipped software.
Hope this helps.

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

Hi,
Please check the following instructions:

My Compaq Presario CQ56 notebook Now has "Windows 7 Pro" on it. Where is "recovery manager" ?

My Compaq CQ56 32 bit notebook was purchased with "Windows 7 Home" on it, but now has "Windows 7 Pro" on it. The webcam was working But it isn't now. The correct drivers are installed, I checked. Does anyone know where "recovery manager" is situated, as someone said it might be possible to get my webcam working again, by using it............. ? Thanks. I am a Total 'NEWBIE'.......

HP Recovery Manager should be in your Start Menu.Click the Start orb and type HP Recovery Manager in the Search bar.It should appear in the list at top.
Or try>>Cyberlink YouCam Software, sp56980

Where can I download HP Recovery Manager for my TouchSmart 610--1150xt running WIndows 7 x64?

Many users would prefer a clean install of Windows with the option to install only those applications that they personally find useful. Currently, if performing a clean install of Windows -- even if creating recovery disks and maintaining the HP recovery partition -- it is not possible to access the Recovery Manager with the option to re-install only the drivers and any useful preinstalled software. The only options under these circumstances is to perform a system restore back to the factory state thus removing an separate clean installation of the operating system or reinstalling the limited number of drivers and applications available for the TouchSmart from HP Support.
If it were possible to reinstall the HP Recovery Manager software, it should also be possible to selectively re-install needed drivers and applications from the recovery partition using the "Software Program Reinstallation" and "Hardware Driver Reinstallation" options. These options are not available from the boot menu or reinstall disks.
I have found downloads for the Recovery Manager software specific for Windows Vista and for certain specific HP laptops running WIndows 7, but I have been unable to locate a similar download for the TouchSmart 610 AIO. Has anyone located a download of the HP Recovery Manager software applicable for the TouchSmart 610?

This procedure uses the original factory installed HP OEM Windows product key and HP OEM certificate and requires the HP BIOS to have SLP/SLIC v2.1. This procedure will install a completely clean Windows 7 installation and may require the installation of HP drivers. Some HP drivers and/or HP software needed by your computer may not install because the OS is no longer branded as "HP". Please create your personal HP Recovery Disc set before continuing with these instructions. Back-up all of your personal data and files before proceeding with this process.
1) Download and unzip ABR Beta for Windows 7. Here is the main page to ABR for Windows Vista. Please follow the "How to use it" section for information and instructions on how to use it. These steps apply to Windows 7 as well. Perform the "activation backup" on your original hard drive with the factory HP OEM Windows installation, saving the backup files in several locations (USB stick, SD card, external drive, etc.).
2) Download your version (the version that was preinstalled on your HP computer) of Windows 7 from Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River. Using the built-in Windows 7 CD/DVD burning software, burn the downloaded Windows 7 ISO image to a DVD.
3) Install Windows 7 from your new "Windows 7 disc" to your SSD, following all prompts as needed. Don't enter a Windows product key and don't allow Windows to try to auto-activate. After the Windows installation is complete, run ABR "activation restore" to "install" the previously backed up product key and certificate. Verify that Windows is activated, if not activated... repeat "activation restore" until Windows 7 is activated.

I, personally, have used the above procedure with great success on many HP desktops and laptops. I can't comment on how well it works with HP TouchSmart computers as I haven't had one to experiment on until recently.

What command to use in command prompt inside HP Recovery Manager to recover hard drive?

Hi,
I'm trying to use HP's Recovery Manager to restore my hard drive to the original factory settings. When going into Recovery Manager via "F11" during computer startup, all of the options are greyed out except, "Run Computer Checkup." Inside that option, all options are greyed-out except, "Open a command prompt."
Once I open a command prompt, the window title is "Administrator: X:\Windows\system32\Cmd.exe" and the command line in the window is "X:\Windows\RM\>"
I have no idea what command to enter here to recover the hard drive! What command should I use???
Why are all the normal options in Recovery Manager greyed out?
Background: I dropped my laptop and afterwards the computer will power on but not boot up from the hard drive - it says there is a hard drive error. I have been able to recover most/many files from the harddrive by taking it out and connecting it to another computer and using a recovery software program. I am not sure if the hard drive is physically/irreparably damaged, but it does spin and I have recovered many files from it. Now ready to recover it back to original state and then reload my recovered files.
Computer: HP Pavilion DM3-1030us purchased in January 2010
OS: Windows 7
Thanks for any suggestions anyone can offer!

There isn't a command that I am aware of to use at the command prompt that will recover your computer. If you dropped your computer, it is likely that the hard drive suffered physical damage. Please see HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista) for instructions on testing the hard drive. It is also possible that the HP Recovery partition was damaged and you may need to use the HP Recovery Media you created when you first setup your computer
If you didn't create this media, please contact official HP Customer Support in your region / country, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to see if HP Recovery Media is available for your computer. Software may not be covered by the warranty and there may be a charge for the HP Recovery Media.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

You can try tapping "F" key used for "Recovery" immediate after turning the computer on. This may invoke the "HP Recovery" partition which may return the computer to a factory like state. Alternatively, you can try using 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 8) for information about using the Windows Disk Management Console. Upon rebooting, the computer should start the HP Recovery process. After recovering the computer to a factory like state, you should be able to create your personal HP Recovery Discs if you haven't aleady done so.
Both of the above methods require that the computer still has the HP Recovery partition intact and not corrupted.
The HP ProBook 4540s Notebook PC is a business class computer and as such, your question may be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community. You may also consider contacting the HP Business Support Center to request assistance with your issue.

Re: Recovery Manager Hangs

I have the same problem with Recovery Manager, whether I use Recovery Manager from the partition, or from the Recovery CDs. It gets to the "Reformatting the Windows partition of your hard disk drive" and stalls. I have a Pavilion a6200n desktop. Any help would be appreciated.

newwester,
I split off your message, as you attached it to a commentary that was over 2 years old. Please restate your problem. Also, did you follow the guidelines for performing the recovery?

How can I restore the HP's recovery manager back?

Recently, few days back I found my system had some viruses as my machine got slow day by day. I formated the official windows 8.1 that came with the laptop and also formatted all available partitions too. Now, I need that HP's recovery manager back to restore my laptop to its zero meter state. But unfortunately, I have not find any solution to my question after researching it on the forums. I have a local warranty for my laptop. My machine's model is 15-d000se. Can HP help me suggest how can I restore the factory settings back? Is there any solution to my problem? Can I get that HP recovery manager or is there any alternative solution or software that can do this exact job like HP recovery manager. I need to factory reset my hp machine.

Since you deleted/format all original partitions, you will need to use the HP Recovery Media you created when you first setup your computer to return your computer to a factory like state. If you didn't create this media, 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.

Recovery Manager & downloading recovery manager problems 2014 version

Hi,
Firstly, I would like to say that I am sincerely greatful to Mumbodog for helping me with this problem.
Problem:
Recently bought an HP 250 G2 which had Windows 8 Home. I required Windows 8 Pro and used my upgrade disk to install. This inadvertantly wiped all other software including the HP Recovery Manager. It also made the laptop pretty much useless because all the hardware peripheral software was removed as well. If you have done this then you cannot use the recovery or pc reset tools available in Windows 8. This was extremely frustrating because there was a recovery partition available with all the software on it to restore my laptop to its original condition.
I tried everything suggested but many of the technicians simply did not understand what the problem was. Some even suggested using the recovery manager when individuals had specifically stated that the Recovery manager was unavailable to them or suggested links which then described a process that used the Recover manager.
I finally stumbled on this post and it worked. The HP recovery manager hides in F11 on boot. Please read Mumbodog post that follows:

The full recovery manager program is not available for download, the only way I know to get it back is to use HP Recovery from the hard drive (F11 at boot time) or Recovery media to re-install Windows and all the HP software. You will lose all personal data when you do this so back up before restoring.

Hi,
If you have created your USB Recovery, use this to perform the reinstallation.
If you don't have this, you can order a replacement Recovery USB Kit using the link below and use this to reinstall Windows.
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 - make sure to specify that you require the USB Recovery Kit.

HP Recovery Manager for HP Stream 7 Signature Edition

I have a HP Stream 7 tablet, and evidently the HP Recovery manager is not available and I have tried to find a suitable tool so that I can free up space on the 32GB storage for Windows 10 I need a full installed suitable for the HP Stream 7 to use a USB stick, I have the Signature edition which is a clean install of Windows with minimal fluff

The format of the video streamed has to be compatible with hardware video decoding.
The browser has to support the use of GPU shaders to enable hardware decoding.
The CPU is technically an APU, that doesn't mean it is not the graphics hardware doing the decoding, the cpu should be doing minimal work if hardware acceleration of video encoding is implemented correctly.

EliteBook 8570p (B6Q03EA) - no recovery manager

Hi
about month ago i bought a new EliteBook 8570p (B6Q03EA) with windows 7 pro 64. During first turn on hp was automaticlly installing drivers and restart computer after each one. That was many many times.. to many... so guy from company where I bought that notebook install windows from CD (to speed up installation). After that there were no drivers, and I downloaded it from HP website.
Now in "start" there is no recovery manager and no F11 option after turn on computer (on hard drive is an untouched partition D: HP_RECOVERY). Is there any posibility to back my computer to first use, when I purchased it? Is it possible without recovery discs?
Regards,
Mikolaj

Hi:
There isn't any way that I know of. Once the clean W7 installation was made, overwriting the HP factory install, the recovery manager no longer works and the recovery partition is pretty much a useless waste of disk space.
You will need to order a set of recovery disks by calling HP technical support for the country you live an at the link below. Call the number listed for business PC's and notebooks.

Hard drive not booting after use of Recovery Manager on USB

The hard drive on my newphew's HP G62t-350 CTO Notebook was failing. I was able to create a recovery USB in the Recovery Manager. I installed a new 120 GB SSD. The original hard drive was larger, can't remember now but 250 or 500 GB. I know the Recovering the System after the Hard Drive is Replaced (Windows 7) says "To avoid problems, install a hard drive as large or larger than the replaced hard drive," but that's a question for later.
Computer booted fine from USB (in fact, is set to boot from USB if present by default). Recovery Manager starts. I choose minimal install. It goes through the process of partitioning the SSD and copying files. Then says to remove external media and reboot, computer will reboot several times during the process, blah, blah, blah. I pull out the USB and reboot, but after POST I get "No bootable media present".
If I try to reboot leaving the USB in, it boots to USB and we're back at the beginning. I am able to confirm with a rescue disk that the SSD has one NTFS partition that has had Windows files copied to it, and a large amount of unallocated space. (Something like 60%/40%.)
So:
How do I make the hard drive bootable, and if it were bootable, would the recovery process complete?
What's going on with the partitions? Is it creating the recovery partition first, and then after boot the recovery partition installs the OS? If so, I might have to abandon this process because since I'm moving to smaller storage, I don't want to devote half of the drive to a recovery partition.
Would official recovery media help? A tech told me that it would, but was not able to explain to my satisfaction why the USB I created with Recovery Manager didn't work, so I am suspicious about the claim that media created by HP as opposed to media created by me using HP's own software would be any better, and since the computer is out of warranty I don't feel like spending $30+ to find out.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Most persons that have installed an SSD that was smaller than the factory drive have been unable to use any HP Recovery Media with the SSD.
As an alternative, if you can still read the 25-digit Windows product key on the Microsoft COA affixed to the bottom the computer, you can install Windows 7 Home 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. Please note that this installation will not have any of the HP customizations or HP value-added that was original installed on your computer. Also note that you will need to download and install most of the drivers from the HP G62t-350 CTO Notebook PC Drivers page.
Links to Windows 7 SP1 can be found HERE and HERE.
Direct link to the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. Use this tool to create a bootable DVD or USB Flash Drive from the Windows .ISO
