I can't do system recovery on my Notebook

Hello there!
I'm trying to recovery my notebook HP pavillion g6 PC but it isn't working! I did it last year and it worked, but now, it doesn't! The problem is that when I remove the last HP Recovery CD (they are four) from the disk drive, after some time my notebook suddenly shut down! I'd like so much to solve it or get any help here because I really need my notebook working.
Thanks for any help!

It is a possiblity that the laptop overheated causing the shutdown. Pick up a can of compressed air and clean all ports,vents,etc thoroughly to ensure good airflow. You could even direct a small fan at the laptop while trying to run Recovery again.
Another possibilty is hard drive failing. Use Diagnostics to test it and the memory. You should have Diagnostics in BIOS (F10 at power on) or System Diagnostics (F2 at power on)

  • I can't accessed system recovery options after the repairing process was interrupte​d.

    although it's not my PC, i'm still concern about it (it's actually a public computer in our library). I actually tried to repair it using the system recovery options of windows 7 with thinkvantage technoliogies  but i interrupt it because maybe someone will caught me and i will be mistakenly be liable. and the result is after i restared it, it restarts over and over again, with BSOD appearing for a split second. i tried to use disable autorestart on system failure feature, and i saw the BSOD. but the real issue is i can't go through the recovery options, only until the part when i'm asked to select a keyboard input method, then the next part is this message: "You must log in to access System Recovery Options. If you are having trouble logging in, please contact your computer administrator for assistance. Click OK to restart the computer." anyway, this is the BSOD says: 
    A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
    Disable or uninstall any anti-virus disk defragmentation  or backup utilities. Check your hard drive configuration, and check for any updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

    I hope this problem will be solved as much as possible.  thank you in advance. and i also don't know what model of this Lenovo all-in-one PC is. but i think this is 3318F9U, and its i forgot its BIOS version, and i don't know how to access it. and also, i'm not sure if there's a preloaded Superfish in this all-in-one PC, maybe the vulnerability started it. because i recently read an article regarding the Superfish's vulnerability.

  • How can I get system recovery discs (mailed and/or burned from laptop)?

    I have a family member who is in another state and has a Toshiba C855D-S5100. It is just under 1yr old and is having some issues booting up. She got it from Best Buy and took it to them yesterday. They are currently running a full diagnostic scan and will let us know what the problem is sometime today (virus, bad drive, bad memory, etc.).
    In the meantime, it made me think that we may want to create some recovery discs (if we can). I did this with an older Gateway. It required 4 DVDs. Can this be done with this model? If so, how as it has Windows 8 and I am not real familiar with this operating system just yet.
    If the test comes back and says the hard drive is the issue, the unit will be sent to Toshiba for repair (since there is 2 weeks left on warranty). In addition to trying to create some recovery discs, can we maybe somehow order the actual recovery discs from Toshiba directly (& keep for future purposes if the hard drive fails and gets replaced)? If so, how and where do we go to get these Toshiba recovery discs sent to us?

    The full Specifications for that machine are HERE.
    See the User's Guide starting on page 55 for instructions on "Creating Recovery Media" yourself.
    You can order Recovery Media from HERE. (Scroll down).

  • How can i restore system recovery files to their original location? (HP Pavillion p6540F desktop)

    I have a HP Pavillion P6540F desktop running Windows 7 Home Premium. A few days ago a problem occured with windows which basically wiped out my OS and I had to restore my computer to factory settings. Before restoring my computer I backed up all of my files to a disk. Upon reinstalling windows I placed the disk with all of my recovery files on it into my computer and ran the recovery .exe file which began the download of my files. This all worked perfectly fine but the problem is that these files only saved to a file on my desktop and did not restore to their original locations. Is there any way to get these files to restore to the correct locations on my computer without having to manually drag the folders to their former locations? Honestly I do not know where many of these files were located before the restore, and many items such as preferences for certain programs are impossible for me to relocate. Thanks for the help.
    This question was solved.

    The backup used in Recovery only restores the files to a folder, leaving the owner to move them.I agree, not the most helpful backup app but better than nothing I suppose.

  • What to do after System Recovery on DV6 Notebook?

    HP Pavilion DV6-1359WM
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    The dv6 notebook I'm helping a friend with had become very slow, unresponsive at times, tons of pop ups, etc. I decided to restore to factory settings, which went fine. Once I did the initial setup of Windows, when the reset was finished, I went into the control panel and removed Norton and several other bloatware programs.
    Now, my question is this. Since I have a clean new start. Avast now. and several programs gone that were lagging the laptop, what should I do from here? Go ahead and allow for the 100 plus updates Windows found? Check for the latest drivers?
    Any help or tips on where I should go from here would be appreciated. We just want to be sure the computer is running at its highest potential and performance.
    Thanks!

    Check the driver page to compare versions on the laptop.HERE
    By all means, get the Updates from MS.

  • System Recovery disk for Windows 8.1

    Hi, I have upgraded my pc from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Every thing went ok. Now I have upgraded it to Windows 8.1. So far every thing went fine. However, can some one tell me how I can create a System Recovery Disk at this stage? I have managed to create
    a Recovery Drive USB stick. 

    Hi,
    According to your description, I suggest you use system image backup to create a System Image.
    You may refer to the following steps:
    1.Press Win+Q, search File history. Then click it in the display list.
    2.In the File History control panel that appears, look in the lower left corner. The option you're looking for is System Image Backup. Click that, and the familiar Create a System Image wizard appears.
    Hope this helps.

  • Re: Equium L40-14l - System recovery option missing

    Hi All
    I have a Equium l40 14l that I've finally decided needs to be restored to " out of the box " status.
    I can boot to the system recovery option page but the widely mentioned HDD recovery option has been replaced by Restoring the Complete Windows Operating System option.
    When I select that all it does is tell me that if preinstalled files are damaged you can use the product recovery dvd-rom. All I can do is click OK and return to the previous screen.
    I've run some partitioning software and the hidden partition shows up there. I didn't get a recovery disc with the machine as it had the hidden restore partition.
    I didn't make a back up when I first booted the machine. I'm thinking now that it would have been a good idea but as I thought I had the hidden partition to rely on I didn't bother.
    Any ideas if there's a way I can get the system recovery to show the option for HDD recovery?
    Thanks in advance Tom

    Guess what I found?
    A product recovery disc. I've re-installed and am now in the process of removing all the junk that comes with it.
    Happy days :-)
    Cheers Tom

  • How can i perform system image recovery in windows 8.1 hp pavilion g6

    recently i upgrade my hp pavilion g6 to 8.1pro..i need to create an system image file of my windows 8.1..so plz give me a detailed procedure...to store it on dvds/online hp backup recovery...
                                                   Is this image recovery working properly when my system got in big trouble???

    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 the computer, inside the battery compartment, or on the BIOS startup/setup screen. Please do not include the serial number. Please enter the model/product information into HP's Online Consumer Support page and post it here for our review.
    Please use Windows "System Image Backup" utility to create an exact image of the Windows 8.1 partition as it currently is, on an external hard drive. You may also need to create a Windows "repair" disc. If your computer developes issues or you need to replace the hard drive, all you have to do is "restore" the image to the computer. Please see Windows 8.1 Tip: Use System Image Backup for instructions on creating and restoring a "Windows - System Image Backup."
    This process is not a system recovery and is different than using Window Restore or Refresh, or HP System Recovery.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • System Recovery didn't finish and now I can't log into my computer. Help please...

    My touchscreen was not working so I tried different steps to fix it and still nothing. So I did a System Recovery and still nothing..So then I did a System Restore to completly wipe everything out back to factory settings...and after I did it I tried to turn my computer on and it won't even go to login with my password it just says Windows did not install properly please restart and install again. I tried phoning Hp support but my warranty is up and I can't pay the 109.00 dollars for a year's worth of phone support and the tech guy nows exactly how to fix it but he couldn't help me can you believe that @#$*...So basically my comp does not work at all...if anybody can help I would so appreciate it...thank you...

    SInce you already did it, make sure you have nothing but the keyboard/mouse dongle plugged in and do NOT connect to the internet via wired or wireless and redo a full System Recovery, that should resolve this since something died midway in the last recovery.

  • Can I replace internal hard drive using only my system recovery disc?

    Hello Everyone and thank you so much for your help!
    I have a Vista Desktop and have determined that I need to replace the hard drive. 
    I am hoping that I can set the jumper pin on the new hard drive to primary, remove the old drive, install the new drive and turn on the computer with the System Recovery (SR) Disc in my DVD drive, boot off of the SR Disc, and run the SR.  Will this work or am I just dreaming? 
    On thing that might cause issues is that the original hard drive is 640GB, and it is no longer available, so the new one I have is 500GB..Everything else about the 2 drives is the same.  Old drive: WD6400AAKS, New Drive: WD5000AAKS. 
    Thank you extra much for any advise you can provide!
    Cindy
    P.S.. In case it would be helpful to know why I think I need to replace the hard drive...in the mornings when I go to turn the computer on, the hard drive activity light never flashes even a single time and the computer doesn't boot.  Through trial and error I have figured out that by doing this:
    1) removing power from the computer
    2) disconnect then reconnect both connectors to the hard drive
    3) reconnect power to the computer
    4) depress the computer On button
    that  the computer will boot and all is good for the day.  However, I turn off the computer at night and the next morning have to follow the above procedure.  Only removing power from the computer for 30+ minutes does not work, it seems to be necessary to disconnect the hard drive connectors.
    This all started at the same time I got a virus on the computer that I was supposedly able to remove.
    I have done the following to try to resolve the problem with no success:
    1) Ran the diagnostics and passed all Tests, tests say hard drive is okay. (day 1)
    3) Cleared the CMOS by removing the battery on mother board (day 1)
    2) Did a System Recovery (day 2)
    3) Ran Boot.exe /FixMbr (day 3)
    4) Ran Boot.exe /FixBoot (day 4)
    5) Ran Boot.exe/rebuild bcd (day 5)
    I am thinking I must also have a virus on the boot sector that did not get written over when I did the System Recover...but I am a novice computer geek, so I know I could have missed something. :-)

    Its easy Pal! You check your HDD first but not in the way you did. Just follow the steps with your old HDD.
    1. Try a clean install(delete the partitions while installing OS) of other OS like linux or XP or Windows 7.
    2. If it works properly the your HDD is OK.
    3. Then work for some days with the OS installed to check the condition of HDD.
    4. If any problem happens then you need to buy a new one or if its recently bought, go for RMA.
    5. If there is no problem, then do a clean install(delete the partitions while installing OS) with your Vista Recovery.
    6. Use a Better Security with MSE/Avira/Trand Micro
    For Replacing with a different HDD, you must consult nearest HP Service Point for the change in your hardware configuration, so that they will register with Microsoft with the new HDD.
    Note: Give the old and new HDD to HP Service Point employee.

  • How can I boot from my recovery dvd to reach the system recovery C: on a extern hard disc

    I think a have a virus in my notebook Pavilion 15 and want to restore my C partition with a system back up. I made this system back up a month ago and it is stored on a extern hard disc. I have also made a recovery dvd. How can I boot my notebook from my dvd to start the procedure? I have 2 partions on my notebook. The second partition contains My Documents.
    Thanks in advance.
    Tineke

    It is unlikely that the back-up of the system recovery, that you have stored on an external drive, will be useful in recovering your computer. Please see HP PCs - Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), for instructions on using the HP Recovery Disc set your created earlier. Typically, the disc set is 4 to 6 DVDs.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Can I use HP System Recovery Disks on a new hard drive replacement with a lower storage capacity?

    Can I use the HP System Recovery Disks from my HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Select Edition Entertaimnent Notebook PC when I replace the failing hard drive with a smaller storage capacity hard drive?  Right now it is a Toshiba 750GB SATA hard disk drive, 5400 RPM, 2.5 inch small form factor (SFF) and I am planning to replace it with the Toshiba HDKCB26 500GB 2.5 inch Hybrid Hard Drive.  I read that I cannot use a System Image to restore the hard drive because it is a smaller capacity then the original Hard Drive. If this is true, it seems that my only option is to use the HP Recovery Disks.

    Hi:
    Normally the HP recovery disks don't work on a smaller hard drive either, but it may be possible in your case if HP offered a 500 GB HDD in that model series.
    No guarantees though.

  • Can't reinstall Windows 7 with Operating System Recovery Disk x120e

    Hi,
    I dabbled with Ubuntu on my Thinkpad x120e, but found that the dual-boot was unneccessary.  I (likely foolishly) followed directions online to use EasyBCD (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/nongeeks-guide-safely-uninstall-ubuntu-dualbooting-machine/) to overwrite GRUB.
    Of course, now Windows won't load!  I get an error
    Windows failed to start...
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc...
    2. Choose your language..
    3. Click "Repair your computer"
    If you do not have the disc, ...
    File: \Boot\BCD
    Status: 0xc0000098
    Info: The Windows Boot Configuration Data file does not contain a valid OS entry.
    I got the Operating System Recovery Disc from lenovo (thanks Lenovo for sending it) and copied it to a USB as the computer has no DVD drive.  When I start the computer from the USB and select run from USB, it begins to load Windows, then Lenovo Rescue and Recovery 4...but then it crashes and restarts.  When I hit f8 and startup in SafeMode, it begins to load the safemode screen, but then also crashes. 
    Any advice on what to do??  Many thanks.

    Hello,
    If you are okay with erasing the contents of the hard disk drive, you can try booting to a Windows Command Prompt, running DISKPART.EXE, selecting the hard disk drive, and issuing a "clean" command, which will erase the disk so that the operating system can be reloaded.

  • Can't recover my system using the system recovery media

    Last month my computer started reporting an imminent hard disk failure. So I created a set of system recovery discs, purchased a new hard drive, and tried to start the recovery process. But in the process my DVD drive failed, and then my BIOS chip had to be replaced. Finally I'm ready to try to recover my system using an external DVD drive, but after booting to disk 1 and looking like Windows is starting, I get the error message:
    HP Recovery Manage
    The system recovery media does not support this computer. You are not able to restore this system with the media.
    0110-QF521EA#ACB-QE360UA#ABA
    0130-ACB-ABA
    What's going on here and I how to I recover my system?

    I liked Paul Tikkanen's suggestion of downloading an ISO file and booting to that (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/System-Recovery-Restore-and-All... The system starts a Windows boot but soon asks me to install a CD/DVD driver. I can't find one and the installation will not let me proceed without one. I am getting pretty frustrated!
