I need recovery media for HP Pavilion dv7-1285dx Entertainment Notebook PC.

The hard drive failed and I replaced it with a new SSD. The recovery disks that came from the Geek Squad guys at Best Buy won't work. Best Buy said to get them from HP and they would reimburse me. I can't find out how to order them on the HP website.
This question was solved.

Hi:
The product specs for your model indicate it came with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
I do not see that you can order recovery media online for your model so you will have to call HP at this number 1-(800) 474-6836, and see if they still carry them.
If not, you can still order a set from this non-HP vendor at the link below.

  • Recovery Disk for HP Pavilion dm4-2181nr Entertainment Notebook PC

    I have a HP Pavilion dm4-2181nr Entertainment Notebook PC and need to get it restored back to windows 7 after upgrade to windows 8.
    I have tried the F11 system restore option at boot but it says a boot file is missing, so that is not working.
    I am in search of the recovery disk for this system module as i did not create a back up recovery disk before the upgrade.
    Does anyone have this and is willing to upload online so i get it, or of there is a way to get this done.
    Looking forward to your assistance.

    Please order the discs for your HP Pavilion dm4-2181nr Entertainment Notebook Computer directly from HP online at "Order software and driver media" or by contacting HP Customer Support by phone, email, or chat.
    Alternatively, you may try setting the HP recovery partition as "Active" using the Windows "Disk Management" console and then rebooting the computer.

    i accidentally delete my hp recovery patition on my HP Pavilion dv6-3112sa Entertainment Notebook PC, i don't know how to get it back. and i really need to restore a factory setting.

    Hi,
    If you have your set of Recovery DVDs, using these to reinstall the OS will also re-create the Recovery Partition on the HDD.
    If you don't have these discs, you can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.
    Order HP Recovery Discs.
    If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.

    Hello ,My DVD RW Driver (F, in my HP Pavilion dv7-3186cl Entertainment Notebook PC / Operating System 64-bit, after installing new hardware ( printer ) can not read CD’s or DVD’s is not working ,How can I fix it?

    Hi,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the relevant link below.
    Windows 7
    Vista
    Check if the drive is now working.
    If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. 
    Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

  • CPU 100% PLEASE HELP!! HP Pavilion dv7-1127cl Entertainment Notebook PC

    HP Pavilion dv7-1127cl Entertainment Notebook PC
    Okay so I have been having this problem and it is really bothersome. My CPU usage spikes up to 100% when I do most anything and if I am running Adobe Flash it stays at 100%. I cannot watch movies or play games. My computer is running hot. We found that propping it up so it could get air helped but not for long. It goes right back up to 100%. I have tried everything, reinstalled the OS, updated drivers, BIOS, cleaned fans, everything. I have read so much on this with no definitive solution. PLEASE HELP!!

  • Bluetooth on HP Pavilion dv7-2173cl Entertainment Notebook PC

    I can't seem to make this work with my Droid Razr Maxx or bluetooth wireless speaker even though there are icons in Devices and Printers dialog box with little yellow triangles on them.  Ever since I have owned this laptop, I have not been able to use bluetooth.   I have a 2009 HP Pavilion dv7-2173cl Entertainment Notebook PC that is running windows 7 all updated. Device manager shows that there is a bluetooth module to which I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times. I'm beginning to think that the module is defective. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    It appears that the device is an HP branded bluetooth module.  However, the information I can locate says it is powered by a Broadcom driver.  
    Did this notebook originally come with Windows 8?
    Try this driver and let me know if it has an effect on your issue.
    Have a great afternoon!

  • I need recovery media for an old Toshiba but apparently can't order it. Help!

    The other day my TOSHIBA laptop - MODEL # PSM43U-01700P - must've got a virus or something because it started to slow and was unable to open some programs. Thinking the computer was about to go, i started saving my personal files onto a disk, and just after doing so the computer Blue screened and now upon start up it stops and says that it's missing a file <Windows root>\System 32\ ntoskrnl.exe and must have it added in order to continue. I of course, however, didn't realize that upon buying the computer years ago that i should have created my own recovery disks, thinking foolishly that the company would always have this media on hand to order should the need for it arise(Plus i doubt i would've done it properly since i'm not really a computer genius, surprise, surprise)
    Anyway. . .
    My problem is that when i tried to order the recovery media for this ancient model, i was told that Toshiba no longer carries this models media at all. So i was just wondering if possibly there's a similar model's media that Toshiba does carry that i'd be able to order instead of this model's that would still work with my computer. I was able to do this with an old DELL I had, and was hoping the same thing was possible with a TOSHIBA.
    I'm crossing my fingers here guys. Hope to hear back from you. I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks.

  • Need Recovery Media for Satellite A660-042 Model PSAW3C-042017

    The hard drive on my Satellite A660-042 Model PSAW3C-042017 died on me. I have installed a new HDD but need the RECOVERY MEDIA. The Laptop was purchased in Canada, Toshiba USA does not seem to have the Recovery Media for this model and Toshiba Canada will not mail it to the USA. Can anyone help? 

    Satellite A660-042 (PSAW3C-042017)
    All the stuff for your Canadian model is here.
    Toshiba Canada will not mail it to the USA.
    I'm really surprised at that. Toshiba in the US mails them to Canada for US models.
    Have you called 800-663-0378 yourself?
    If that's true, you'll need to have an acquaintance order the discs and reship them.

  • USB 3.0 Upgrade for HP Pavilion dv9700 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

    Is it possible to upgrade my HP Pavilion dv9700 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC to USB 3.0?  I've been searching the website and google and haven't found any concrete answers just yet.  I'd rather not have to buy a new laptop just to get USB 3.0.  It's been the most reliable pc I've ever had and I don't wantn to replace it!
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hi,
    You have to buy a new laptop or swap the system/motherboard or buy an Express card - USB 3 (I've got one) or PC card - USB 3. For desktop , this is much simpler, a PCI - USB 3 card will do.

  • Power supply for HP Pavilion m7-1015dx Entertainment Notebook PC

    I have a HP Pavilion m7-1015dx Entertainment Notebook PC.
    The power supply (AC adaptor) that it comes with is HP part number 608428-002.
    I also have a different power supply (AC adaptor) that came with a much older HP Pavilion notebook.  This older power supply is HP part number 519329-003.
    Is the HP Pavilion m7-1015dx compatible with the older power supply (part number 519329-003)?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    519329-003 is definitely the right part number.  I just double-checked, and that's what's written on the hardware.   If you do a google search for "hp part 519329-003", you get a ton of results.
    The older HP notebook has another power supply, with HP part number 608428‑002 608428‑002 608428‑002 608428-002.  So I know that 608428-002 and 519329-003 are equivalent.
    Is the newer notebook (the HP Pavilion m7-1015dx) compatible with the power supply that has HP part number 608428-002?

  • I need recovery media for my HP Touchsmart tm2t-2100 CTO.

    I purchased my Tablet PC in December of 2010.  It has worked great until it crashed in the middle of May this year (2012).  I was not able to restore using system recovery through the F11 keys nor my DVD's.  I own a full copy of Windows 7 Ultimate that I was able to use to at least have my PC running again.  My files are also backed up on an HP external hardrive, so I am not concerned about losing any personal files. 
    Need HP Recovery Disks: What I would like to do is purchase HP recovery disks for my laptop, however, when I choose this option from the support site, a screen returns saying the webpage does not exist. 
    Tablet Software for Touchsmart: I have been unable to find the orginal HP software that essentially acts as a shell for my tablet.  It allowed the laptop to behaved similarly to an iPad using an HP brower.
    Hardrive Partions: My hardrive now has multiple partitions, rather than just 2 : System and Recovery.  I am unable to extend/use portions of my drive.
    Warranty: My laptop is still under warranty.
    How can I restore my PC to out-of-box condition?

    Thanks for the feedback.  The weblink you provided is the one that errors out.  Below is the message that I receive.  I will try contacting HP Directly.

    Hi Steve,
    You can't download a recovery media or image from Toshiba, thats not possible.
    You have two options: You can contact an ASP (authorized service provider) to get an new recovery disk or you order one on the website who was posted by Mike30.

  • Recovery Discs for HP Pavilion dv7-4061!!​!!

    I have this laptop, but the disc would not boot.  I used my Windows 8 disc from my desktop just so I could get it to boot.  When I try to order recovery discs (recovery drive was reformatted), it doesn't recognize my serial number.  I've ordered from HP before with much less issues.  What Gives!?

    Hi:
    I have asked your situation be brought to the attention of a paid HP staff member.
    Hopefully the problem will be resolved.
    If for some reason, HP cannot help (meaning they don't have the recovery disks anymore--which I doubt is problem), then you can order a set from this other vendor.
