Is or is not "Application & Driver Recovery DVD" bootable? - SafeMode boot fails-corrupt CryptUI.dll

I'm trying to recover my daughter's Pavilion dm4-3170se. My daughter had not made a recovery disk and has no recent back-up of her data file set.
Problems (and what I have done so far) are quite parallel to what the user reported in this amazingly detailed post:
Difference is that in Safe Mode boot (command line or not), Windows boot fails on a dll, specifically CryptUI.DLL.
While amazingly detailed post user isn't getting into Windows boot, I am...for about 30 DLLs before it chokes on the corrupted one. I have tried a number of other things to get past it to no avail.
My daughter's original Recovery Disc set bought the farm when her house burned. So I ordered and got a replacement set from HP. I am loathe to use it before recovering her data files because she will lose maybe 40% of her professional work.
The delivered Recovery Disc set includes an "Application and Driver Recovery DVD". Given >20 years of Wintel machine tradition, I'm presuming it's bootable. Amazingly Detailed Post user got hers to boot from her DVD drive. But configuring the BIOS to seek the DVD drive as the first boot choice doesn't get it to boot after two tries.
Before I pour more time into this, I'd like the Collective Wisdom here.
Q1: Is this HP disc, numbered 691822-B22, meant to be bootable?
Q2a: If it is, do you imagine I can use the command line interface to copy identifed-as-bad DLL(s) to the HD?
Q2b: If it isn't, why the, er, gollygoshdarn isn't it? Must be an actual reasonable thing...
Thanks for all insights based on experience.

Hi:
Any HP application and driver DVD I have ever used is not bootable.
It should autorun from the windows desktop once windows has been reinstalled.
That is the only question I can answer of the ones you asked.
Suggestion...
Make your own W7 installation ISO from the link below.
Use that to install W7 and do not delete any partitions or format the drive.
Windows will install and create a Windows.old folder of the current operating system.
Then you can copy any files you need from the Windows.old folder after W7 is installed.
Once you are sure you got what you need, run the recovery disk set to restore the hard drive to its out of the box condition.
Link to W7 ISO files is below.  Use the W7 x64 home premium file from the SP1 Media Refresh listing.
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/14709-Windows-7-Digital-River-direct-links-Multiple-Languag...
Then use this tool to transfer the iso file onto a DVD or 4 GB USB flash drive.  The tool will also make the iso file bootable.

  • Driver Recovery DVD won't start

    I am trying to reinstall a view drivers using my Application and Driver Recovery DVD but after inserting nothing occurs. I tried running it from inside of the My Computer directory but the option doesn't appear. Is there a way to manually run the DVD so that I can reinstall my drivers?

    Whew, do you have another Mac or even PC to try? Maybe make a copy of it?

  • Satellite A105-S3611 Recovery DVD won't boot - reverts to HDD boot

    Satellite A105-S3611 Recovery DVD won't boot - reverts to HDD boot. 
    My laptop has had a virus but is now clean but has some lingering effects.  So I decided to use the Recovery and Applications/Drivers Media to reinstall the system to factory settings.  Pressing the "C" key at the Toshiba screen did not work to choose the boot divice but pressing F12 did work.  The problem is the system still boots using the hard disk.  I've gone into the boot process and changed the order of boot devices to make sure the CD\DVD drive is chosen first but it does not boot from the CD/DVD.  It looks like it begins to read the DVD but the boot process is not executed from there.
    Questions:
    1. Can I install the system using windows explorer to execute the autorun.ini on the CD/DVD?
    2. Is there another option for getting the system to install from the CD/DVD?
    Thank you in advance
    Roger

    I read somewhere on the forum that updating the BIOS may solve the problem.  So I updated the system BIOS from v1.40 to v2.0.  Then I reinserted the newly purchased recovery DVD and the boot process began with the DVD booting but ended with the message "WRONG MACHINE".
    I ejected the recovery DVD that I just purchased and inserted the recovery DVD that came with the machine.  This time the machine booted and installed the factory image of the operating system as it should have the first time.
    So I am now recovered and the machine works as it did originally.  So the moral of the story is you don't necessarily have to buy the new recovery DVD but just update the system BIOS and then try to use the recovery DVD that came with your machine. 

  • Portege Z830 - Recovery DVDs won't boot up

    Hi,
    I purchase the recovery DVDs from Toshiba to restore my Toshiba Portege Z830. I have tried to boot them using an USB external DVD drive , I have select the device in the bootup menu, but the computer ends up starting from the HDD anyway.

  • Bitlocker enabled drive, recovery key needed during boot, PCS did not match, event id 24635, source bitlocker-driver

    Hi
    After rebooting one of our test machines, bitlocker wanted the recovery key.
    There were no hardware modifications on that machine.
    Error message in event log:
    Bootmgr failed to obtain the bitlocker volume master key from the TPM because the PCRs did not match
    Event id 24635, source bitlocker-driver
     Each time the machine starts, the recovery key is needed.
    Any idea how to solve that issue and why it happens?
    update:
    Second partition was created manually on that machine. So that's clear that bitlocker reacts...
    But now: how can I confirm those changes so that the recovery key is not needed each time we boot?

    Hi,
    I would like to confirm if BitLocker accepts the recovery key?
    Please update the BIOS to improve the stability for TPM first.
    I also would like to suggest you disable and enable BitLocker again to reset the settings.

  • NB500: How to use the Recovery DVD without a DVD drive in the netbook?

    Background:
    I have a Netbook NB 500 which came with a Win7 Starter. I upgraded to Win8 but didn't like it as the screen resolution wsn't high enough to open Apps. As the system became slower and slower over time, I decided to reset the unit back to original settings using the Win8 function.
    The progress on this process was extremely slow and after seven hours (about 60% done) I got a fright that the content of my HDD might be copied somewhere onto the web (NSA cloud? :) ) .
    I switched the unit off and from there nothing would work anymore. I bought recovery software with WIN7 Starter from Toshiba Support as I couldn't find an ISO file for WIN7 starter, but it arrived on a DVD...
    I do have:
    + NB 500
    + Toshiba Recovery DVD
    + Bootable USB stick (I created this)
    + Product Key for Win7 Starter
    Question:
    What files are necessary in order to install Win7 from scratch (move files from DVD to bootable USB stick)?
    Will this procedure delete the old data from HDD or will it still take up space?
    Regards
    LS1-d

    It is not simply as you think it is. As far as I know you cannot manipulate recovery data and work on your own bootable media.
    Best and simplest way for you is to obtain somewhere external USB ODD and use it for recovery image installation. I have NB520 and I have bought external BD ODD and can use it for different actions like software installation for instance.
    Im really wondering you didnt create recovery USB stick. It was my first step after I bought this machine. Product key that you have on Microsoft sticker is useless. You cannot use it for OS installation if you use own OS version and you dont need it if you use original recovery image.
    After recovery image installation preinstalled Windows version will be properly activated.
    > Will this procedure delete the old data from HDD or will it still take up space?
    Yes. The whole HDD will be deleted so before you start with recovery image installation back-up all your important data.

    Reinstalled the o/s from the recovery cd.  No problem.
    Reinstalled the Application and Driver Recovery DVD.  No Problem - Except ----
    none of the drivers are installed.   Device Manager shows that the driver is not installed.
    I went to the App and Driver DVD and manually selected only the wired and wireless NICs.  This went through the motions but the devices are still unavailable.
    I went to compaq/hp web site to download the drivers.  It only shows 3 driver updates. 
    How do I get the drivers?   From the DVD?   From the web site?

  • HP System Recovery DVD Won't Run

    Hi.  I currently use an HP Pavilion DM4, 3090se, which runs Winows 7.  I went to turn on my computer last week and instead of starting normally, got the Windows Boot Manager screen stating that Windows failed to start.  To fix the problem it says that I must insert the Windows installation disc and restart to repair the computer.
    I did not have any Windows installation discs so I ordered the System Recovery DVD's from the HP Support Site.  I've inserted the first disc and started up my computer only to get the Windows Boot Manager again upon start up.  Inserting the Recovery DVD's seems to have no effect.  I tried inserting the second disk and the Application and Driver Recovery DVD to see if anything different happened but that was to no avail.
    I did not have any issues with my computer prior to this happening and do not know what the cause may be.  I am hoping for some insight on what I can do to resolve this before I have to just send my computer in to HP.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    You're more than welcome
    In case the problem is with the notebook reading the installation disc, here's another possible option you could try as detailed below.
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
    You can create Windows 7 installation Flash Drive yourself using another PC.  Download the Image file on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder - the Windows 7 image source is Digital River ).  You'll need a usb flash drive that is at least 4Gb.
    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit.
    Once downloaded, use an application such as Rufus to create a Windows 7 bootable usb flash drive.
    When created, tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.  Insert the Windows 7 flash drive.  Select the Boot Options menu ( f9 ).  Use the arrow keys to highlight the flash drive and hit enter.
    During the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
    http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
    Additional drivers and software you may need for your notebook can be found Here.

  • HP 4540s will not activate windows 8 from HP recovery dvds, please help

    Hi,
    I'm trying to migrate my HP from the harddrive to a new ssd I bought. As far as I know windows 8 is supposed to activate based on the code burned into the machines bios, so I bought some hp recovery dvds online as HP recovery manager no longer seems to ship with these machines, so I couldn't make one, and reinstalled windows 8 onto the machine.  After install and connecting to the internet the activation failed, it said the key was blocked.  This can't be, this machine came with windows 8 preinstalled, so it must have a valid key and license I've already paid for.
    I've tried burning reinstall media using the microsoft media creation tool but that too fails once it connects to the internet to validate the activation
    I would prefer to fresh reinstall, I'm not even sure the drive I took out works anymore or isn't altered at this point, plus its larger than my ssd so cloning would be a problem. And I've also read of problems cloning windows 8 secure boot installs regardless.  In any case I would like to some how be able to get this recovery to work.   
    Can someone from HP please help me.
    Thanks.

  • Hard drive and dvd are not recognized in the setup menu, what could be wrong?

    The hard drive and dvd drive are not recognized on the setup menu for my Pavilion a4316f desktop computer.  Could it be a failure of the controller?  Can a PCI controller be used to replace the mother board controller?

    View Solution.

    The Recovery process would erase you hard drive, and attempt to install a fresh OS. Decidely a bad choice if you wanted to save your data files. The Recovery sets are "tattoo" with the BIOS hardwafre configuration. It will not, IMHO, recognize the PCI Sata card.
    You mentioned the Recovery program on the hard drive actually requested the installer of the controller (PCI card). Try running from that.

    hello, i have trouble with my laptop. my hard drive got bad sectors and now i need to replace my hdd to new one. im not sure how to reinstall window 7 on my new hdd.
    is it possible to install operating system on new hard drive using recovery disk? and how?

    Hi,
    Yes, recovery discs will work on a new hard drive, but it's generally best to ensure that the replacement drive is of the same capacity ( slightly larger is Ok ) as the original - recovery discs can have issue when used on a drive that has a smaller capacity than the original.
    When you have replaced the HDD, all you need to do is as follows.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu. 
    Insert the 1st Recovery Disc. 
    Select Boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter.  You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue' - do this if asked.
    You will be prompted to insert subsequent discs as required.
