Install programs form the recovery disk to the upgraded windows

hi
I have HP G60-230us and I've upgraded form windows vista to windows 7. I used to use the programs which came with the computer. but when i upgraded to windows 7 all the programs were deleted. I need these programs. 
Can I install these programs from the recovery-disks to the new windows?

No, the recovery disks will only put your computer back to the condition it came from the factory which is Vista.  Did you actually do an upgrade or clean install.  If you truly did an upgrade you should have a folder on your C drive titled SWSetup.  This folder has all the originally installed programs.  If you did a clean install and lost all the programs and the SWSetup folder then you may have lost these programs.......unless they are available at the HP website.  Go to hp.com and click Support and Drivers and enter your part number or model and you will find most of the programs and drivers are available for download.

  • Blue Checkered Screen after using the Recovery Disks

    I have a Compaq Presario SR2034NX XP Media Center computer. I followed the instructions and installed all the recovery disks. The screen then said to remove all disks and that it's going to reboot several times to finish the installation. During this process I got a blue checkered screen. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I took a picture of what the screen looks like and I'm enclosing a link to the picture here.

    Thank you for your help and time!

    I run into the same problem with fresh installation of W7 Pro on T530 with 1TB samsung disk.
    This solution worked for me:
        Running check for updates will trigger this error message:
    “Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.”  
    Solution:
    1.    Go to Administrative Tools/Services, and stop the Windows Update service.
    2.    Then go to the folder c: /Windows/SoftwareDistribution and delete all of the files and folders.
    3.    Then go back to Services and restart the Windows Update service which will recreate all of those folders again.
    4.    Then manually run the Update Service and everything should work.

  • Can I install OneNote 2003 from the recovery disk?

    I need a clarification (both my local Toshiba dealer and Microsoft helpdesk have proven to be equaly useless)
    I have a Toshiba Satellite and product recovery
    Recently (per mistake) I uninstalled Microsoft OneNote 2003
    It is still on my recovery CD, I have licence number but I cannot install it without reinstaling whole system and formatting my hard disc?
    And I really don't want to do that.
    Is there any other way?
    Thanks for your help

    It seems you didnt understand the whole thing
    The point is that you get the software (for free) in connection with your notebook.
    Its is not a full licence. Its an OEM licence this means that you can use this software only on this notebook.
    Because of that you have to use the Recovery disk if you want to use all the additional (non-Toshiba) programs.
    The Toshiba tools and software can be downloaded from the Toshiba page but you will be not able to download non-Toshiba software.

  • I'm trying to install a new hard drive on my Touchsmart but the recovery disks won't boot.

    The Touchsmart 300-1120 is only 1.5 years old and it's hard drive is already fried.  I bought a new hard drive, ordered the recovery disks, and it still won't boot.  I've changed the boot order to go from the CD drive first, but all it does is click and then give the same error message it gave when the fired hard drive was in.  I checked the diagnostic, and it can see the new hard drive...it just won't boot. 

    Sometimes they do work - i've done it before.  I have a late 2008 Macbook Uni and used the install dvd of my 2009 Macbook White and it worked.
    Why not just clone your hard drive?  It'll save you a lot of time doing a clone rather than doing a clean install.
    Unless you're having issues with your old set up or  your old hard drive is dead.
    You can download Carbon Copy Cloner - install your new hard drive in a external usb enclosure (around $10) and clone fromt here then test it before you install it in your Macbook.
    Once you've done the swap, you can install your old hard drive in the USB enclosure and use it as a backup drive.
    Good luck

  • The recovery disk fail to install

    The recovery disk I just got in and went through the entire process and it still failed to install giving me an error message.

    I would suggest attempting the recovery again and follow the instructions in the following link:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01867418
    Note: if you have any peripherals attached during the recovery it could cause it to fail.

  • What's in the recovery disk?

    I have a G71-449VVM notebook running Windows 7 Premium with 4GB of RAM and have Norton 360 for protection.  I travel a lot and have to use other’s CD to load data to my computer or to look at manuals.  Several months ago I used a disk that I did not want to load so used the CD to access the program which used Explorer as an interface.  Ever since my Adobe Standard 9 will not function correctly and requires the CD to be in the computer.  Even then it does not work right.  When I got the computer I burned the recovery disk and I hope that if I do the recovery I will correct my problems.  The problem is that I have MS Office installed but cannot find my disk.  3 questions (for now):
    Assuming I did this correctly and made the recovery disk after I loaded MS Office, will doing the recovery load the program again?
    If yes, then how can I tell what programs and contained in my recovery disks (it made 3 disk)?
    Assuming I can do this and all this corrects my problem, how can I set trigger points for recovery?  What I would like to do is before going into a project set the recovery point so that if there is a problem I can reset to that point.  

    Hi:
    Recovery disks...
    When you make recovery disks using the recovery manager, no matter when you make them, they will only have the programs that came with your PC when you bought it (except MS Office Starter).
    Any programs or files you added to the PC afterward will not be included in the recovery disk set you made.
    So, MS Office will not be on the recovery disk set, or any programs or files you added since you bought the PC.
    I recommend you obtain a portable hard drive, and use the Windows backup and recovery function to create a system image and a Windows repair CD.
    With that, you can do what you want, and create restore images any time you want, and if you need to recover your system with all of the programs and files you have installed, that is what you want to use.

  • Vista has left the building...and the Recovery Disks do not work correctly.

    I've spent over a month and a half trying to fix my non-booting Satellite A215-S5818 running Vista.  Sometime mid-March (ah, the Ides of March!) I think I downloaded an automatic update and I remember the next time it booted my desktop was black; icons but no background picture.  Then I noticed on the bottom right it was saying my copy of Vista was not genuine.  I know that it is, because it is pre-installed.  So I ran check disk from the Properties page of C: in Windows Explorer. After it ran, I got BSOD.  At first I just booted into SafeMode and tried to disable whatever hardware/uninstall whatever software was causing the problem.  I think I got it to boot in SafeMode once or twice, then no more.  For a while I kept getting IRQL-NOT-LESS-OR-EQUAL, but I somehow stopped that through the command prompt(forum advice?).  Startup Repair could not fix it,  System Restore would not work on ANY restore points, even before March. The new BSOD error was:
    "STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}-
    The initial session process or system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000000 (0xc0000221 0x00100594)"
    From then on I could only get a command prompt through the Repair Console.  So I xcopy-ed my Users directory to an external hard drive and grudgingly booted from the Toshiba CD, knowing it would obliterate everything, but I was desperate.  I got the 03-EEEE-0000 error.  Now I have a plethora of useless(?) CDs and DVDs I have burned ISO images on of any Freeware I thought could fix it, downloaded from the Internet using my husband's Windows 7 desktop computer.  I followed these instructions to the letter and it worked (I guess; it started immediately, no DOS objection), but when it rebooted I got a window (!) saying something about the type of hardware.  I haven't added or changed any hardware, but I have updated the BIOS recently.  So I clicked OK (no other choice), and now every boot up I get a window saying "Windows could not complete the installation.  To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation".  Startup Repair does not find any problems.  Could it be the BIOS?  I have re-flashed it twice, no difference.

    Oops! Sorry that was stupid on my part.
    From the command prompt you could type in   systeminfo   , and hit the 'Enter' key, it will take a little while to run, when it finishes, scroll back up to the top and you'll see OS Version and Service Pack you've got loaded. But, if you're booting off the recovery disk, that's the system info you'll get.
    If you can't get to the command prompt from the Advanced Boot Options menu, by trying to boot off the hard drive, and pressing F8, I'm not sure how you can find what Service Pack you have loaded.

  • How can I create a Lion recovery disk when the original machine is down?

    Any rapid help with this would be very appreciated - I have university work I need to complete tomorrow.
    Machine is a 13" MacBook Pro with Bootcamp and windows 7 installed but the problem is on the Mac partition
    sequence of events:-
    I was using MS Word for Mac when it crashed as being unable to write to the disk.
    I went to utilities and ran a verify permissions - failures were found - one marked as not repairable
    I ran repair permissions - it repaired all but one
    I ran verify disk - it said it there was an error which could not be repaired - reformat the drive a restore from backup
    I have full time machine backup so thought no problem
    I shut down the machine and restarted using  Cmd R and went to disk utilities - no "format disk" option.
    Browse on internet finds I have to delete the "Macintosh HD"  partition - re- create it and restore - ok
    Find I cannot delete the partition because it cannot unmount the drive - because I have booted from the recovery partition which is on that drive - catch 22
    Try to boot from original Snow Leopard disk - LION wont let you do it
    Read some more on Internet and find I can boot from the Lion Revovery HD on a USB
    Only way of getting it is to download it or create it using the machine I want to recover - but that machine won't boot in OS X ?...
    Tried the Lion Internet install but it simply fails with an " error occurred please try again.
    So can anyone tell me how I can get a recovery USB written in order to externally boot my Mac and recover it ??
    I have available:-
    Wifi
    USB drives
    Time machine backup on external USB drive
    IPad
    windows available on the MacBook
    Any help please - I am really desperate
    thanks

    If you need to reinstall from scratch:
    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Satellite L500-19X - Can't use the recovery disk

    Well I got this laptop two days ago and used it once after installing fire fox and my mobile broadband drvier's and going back home to boot up and find it was going to happen,
    I had tried safe mode (all three) and repair and all I got was a black screen with the cursor up where there should have been a language screen (I used the recovery disk that came along with the laptop) so anyway after finding out I wasnt going to be able to repair it I tried to install but of course that didn't work either so I put my XP 64 bit OS on and worked perfectly fine, then I upgraded (using my own upgrade windows 7) and that works fine no problems, so I tried again with the original windows 7 that came pre-installed on the laptop's hard drive and all went find untill it starts installing driver's or updates (I'm not 100% sure on this but it is at and/or after the face recognition installation,
    Then it shuts it's self down and boots back up to automatically restart and asking me if I want to repair due to a bad start-up so I do the repair boots back up and still says I need to repair and finds nothing wrong and carrys on in that circle.
    Now I have been told that it could be the register or it is a graphics problem, I myself am getting pretty fed up of having to install/reinstall/format this laptop.
    So if there is anyone who know's what is wrong or what to do or even if it needs to be sent back to be fixed that will be very helpful.
    I thank anyone in advance.
    Happy new year :)

    Hi
    Well, I think its really hard to say what the reason is. Maybe the recovery disk is scratchy or the files corrupt there.
    At the moment I cant imagine that its a hardware problem because other Windows disk working properly.
    In your case I would try to install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disk and then see what happens. If it works properly and you can install all drivers & tools you should order a new recovery disk from Toshiba directly.
    Bye

  • Equium A210 171 What info do i need before i use the recovery disk?

    Hi,
    I have 1 recovery disk that came with my equium, haven't used it before.
    On the back of the recovery disk envelope it says "insert the first disk"
    I'm assuming there should be a second?
    Also what info will i need to provide during the install process? like serial number?
    All i have is a black and white sticker that's on the side of the box it came in, but that was so long ago.
    I'm having lots of issues with windows installer not running and many others,
    Windows updates won't work either and i've tried to fix those but a clean reinstall of the os was recommended.
    Now at this point nothing will install because windows installer won't work.
    So i think i wil lhave to attempt a clean install, but i'm not even sure the cd drive will work.
    I have gotten a great run out of this laptop, bit slow for my needs today but over all great product, bought in 2007.
    With a clean os and 4 gigs of ram this thing could last for years more, can't afford a new one right now.
    I have really tried to avoid using a recovery disk in the past, as i've never had any serious issues till now.
    Thanks

    >I'm assuming there should be a second?
    Im wondering why you get such disk together with your notebook why? Because I did not get the recovery disk but I had to create one using the Toshiba Recovery disk creator software
    But my notebook is newer than your A210 this might be the reason why you got such disk
    I created a recovery disk and I needed two DVD disks I think these depends on the image file size
    > Also what info will i need to provide during the install process? like serial number?
    This is not needed because your system was already activated.
    But I recommend to backup your personal data because the recovery disk would format the whole HDD and you would lose the files.
    PS: recommend reading the other threads in the Product recovery forum!

  • Upgrading a new Tecra Laptop with Windows 7 Pro to Windows 8.1 via the recovery disks

    Just received a new Tecra Z50-A laptop from my company. I need to install Windows 8.1 which is supposed to be on the recovery disks I received.The laptop doesn't have a DVD drive and they are not available to ship until the end of the month from Toshiba.
    1. Can the update be done from a shared DVD drive on another machine?
    2. Has anyone done this and what steps are involved?
    3. Where they are revovery disks -- will this wipe all of the applications that are installed on the laptop?
    Thanks
    JL

    Which Tecra Z50-A? There is a label on the bottom.
    I know of no way to install from an ODD on another computer. Best to obtain the recovery media on a thumbdrive. Toshiba offers to ship either one.
    Recovery media wipes the drive clean and restores it to a predetermined state, which includes all the drivers, utilities, and bloatware that comes with a new machine.

  • My HP Pavilion 20 windows 8 desktop won't run the recovery disk

    I bought this recovery disk awhile back and it never worked to recover the computer. You can here the disk spinning inside but nothing apears on the screen. I did a hard disk test and everything came back passing. I tried getting into my UEFI firmware settings to reset the BIOS but everytime i click the option it just gives me a blue screen with the erorr code 0xc000000f so I can't even get in their. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Then it would appear that the recovery partition is corrupt and the recovery disk you had, where ever you got it from was defective or had no bootable data.
    You would have to order recovery disks from HP if available.
    If you live in the USA/Canada, call this number...  1-800-334-5144.
     If you do not live in the USA/Canada, call the HP business PC support number for the country you live in.

    You may alternately download and create a Windows 8.1 ISO to install.  It will not have the HP software though.

    The Toshiba recovery disk requires the internal CD/DVD drive.  There isn't any workaround for that.
    Sorry.

  • GT60 - Can I break RAID0 and then use the Recovery disks?

    Is it possible to break the RAID0 and then use the recovery disks from MSI Burn Recovery or a Windows Home Premium Disk with the code from the sticker on my laptop,  to install back to factory settings without the RAID0? Just want to make sure before I do something drastic. Thank you.

    you can always make an system image of your current windows on an external drive and then experiment with it and if anything breaks, just change bios settings to older ones and recover your older system, everything will be intact like nothing ever happened.

  • What does the recovery disk assistant store?

    hello everyone, my questions:
    1.what does the recovery disk assistant store?
    2.is it necessary to use the recovery disk assistant often or is it enough to use once.
    thanks
    Fatih.

    As it said in the link I posted:
    has same capabilities as the built-in Lion Recovery: reinstall Lion, repair the disk using Disk Utility, restore from a Time Machine backup, or browse the web with Safari. This drive can be used in the event you cannot start your computer with the built-in Recovery HD, or you have replaced the hard drive with a new one that does not have Mac OS X installed.
    And here it is explained further:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    It stores some tools (Disk Utility) to repair your drive and lets you connect to the app store to re-download the OS or restore it from a Time Machine backup. That's it.
    And it will re-install or restore your system (OS), it will not touch your files. However,
    NOTE: before doing anything like that, it is wise to have a complete backup - things can happen.
