P205 s6267 recovery disc creation

I am experiencing some slowing down and erratic stuff with this laptop and decided it would be best to put it back to it's original state. I looked up the online users guide to see how to do this. Unfortunately i cannot find a recovery disc creator icon, nor anything in programs , as I thought this would be the best way to go.
They do list a HDD recovery option which involves powering up with the 0 (zero button ) pressed. When I tried this it just beeped at me not stop. No recovery wizard appeared. i had to go and do a system restore as it did'nt like what i had done. Any suggestions?
thanks

Help!! New W530 and I have a recovery disc creation error?

Hi, I just got a brand new W530 and got an error when creating the recovery discs. Now the process won't restart. Is there a solution?
The partition is still there but the wizard won't start up again so I can't give it another shot.

Hello and welcome,
There may be a way to re-enable the recovery creation process. There was with older machines. I don't know what the current situation is, but others may chime in.
The best course might be to call support and request the recovery media. I can't speak for Lenovo, but it's common for them to be sent free in this situation.

HP Recovery Disc Creation Error

I just bought a new HP Pavilion 500 desktop AMD Elite Quad Core A8-6500 8GB memory 2TB hd, and I am trying to create recovery discs as recommended by the system using DVD+R (Memorex Brand) discs to complete this process. The program comes up, checks the disc I insert and tells me which type I have and that it will take 3 discs to complete the progess.
It then appears to be creating disc number 1.
However after completion, it says it is verifying the disc and then after about 15 minutes puts up an error message.
"An error occured while creating the disc. Try a new disc or choose a different high quality brand of disc and make sure all applications arre closed."
This whole process wastes about 30 minutes. However, I can see in windows explorer that the disc has been created and has files on it. I rebooted, started over and was able to create disk 1. Disk 2 would always error out at the end of the process. I spent hours last night trying 6 different disks until I gave up on Disk 2. Thinking I have a bad PC or drive, I tried ripping cd's and playing movies, all seemed to work ok.
I was really frustrated until I saw that 5 years after this 2009 post people are still having the exact same issue! So it is not just me.
I am giving up on recovery disks because I have already spent too much time and disks on it.
I will try the recovery usb and if that fails move on.

Additional information is below. I was surprised to see so many people with HP products having exactly the same problem. The recovery disk problem is very frustrating because you have to wait so long for it to error (30-45 min.) and it looks like it is working right up to the point it errors out at the end of the disc writing process.
1. Product name - HP Black 500-214 Desktop PC with AMD Elite Quad-Core A8-6500 Accelerated Processor, 8GB Memory, 2TB Hard Drive, purchased and unboxed yesterday
2. OS - Windows 8.1
3. Error Message - "An error occured while creating the disc. Try a new disc or choose a different high quality brand of disc and make sure all applications are closed."
4. Any changes made - No changes, this was right out of the box after I set up window 8.1.

Recovery Disc Creation (1TB External hard-drive)

I am attempting to create a 'Recovery Disc' and I had a few questions. I tried doing a little research but I got yes and no answers. Is it possible to partition an external hard drive and make my computer think the partition is a blank USB drive to make a back-up media file? I realize this may have complications... I.E. When it tries to format the drive. Would that ruin the partition on the external HD or treat it as the drive and only format the portion that has been partitioned? It is even possible to do? The external hard drive being 1TB (Western Digital Passport) and I only need to make a ~32GB portion. I am just looking for a little insight before I go buy a new USB just to back up my laptop so HP Support Assistant stops yelling at me.

I wouldn't attempt it. Not sure it would even work, the Recovery Manager 'might' use it but it may also format the entire hdd in the process. Even if it was successful at creating the Recovery partition on it, you will still be faced with the problem of trying to get the laptop to boot from the usb hdd in the event of needing to perform a Recovery.
If you don't want to invest in a 32Gb flash drive to dedicate to this and have DVDs they can be used.Usually requires 3-5.

Lenovo T61p - Product recovery disc creation fails

Hi,
I tried creating a set of product recovery disc, the process started decently to extract the information/files. Then the process abruptly stops and gives a msg saying "The process has encountered an internal error."
Pls Help.
Rgds,
Sumit

As lead_org says, call Lenovo and explain the problem you have encountered, especially the error message, "The process has encountered an internal error." If they don't offer to send you free recovery media, politely explain to them that it's not your fault that you can't make the media on your own. If you're firm and persistent (call back later and try another agent) they will relent

Does recovery disc creation use temporary files?

hp pavilion slimline s3707c, vista home premium 64 bit
When I created the recovery discs, 3 dvds 4.7GB each, it appeared to use up about 15 gig of hard disc space. Could this be the temporary storage needed to 'collect files' in preparation of the discs? If so, can this space be freed up?

Hi,
Bad software design, it should clear the temp files after burning 3 DVD's. My suggestion: to be sure, before delete them just copy those files to elsewhere (such as an external HDD), delete them on internal HDD. Wait for few weeks then we can delete files on the external HDD.
Just my 2 cents.

Recovery disc creation and windows 7 upgrade

when i get to disc 3 of recovery disc it shows that it has written the disc but before it cane verify it, it ejects the disc and a screen pops up and says to reinsert the disc, when it is reinserted nothing happens and have to cancel operation, after three times wasting disc to try to get third disc created need a suggestion since seem not to be able to get thru to hp support. also, trying to upgrade from vista to windows 7, after going thru all the things required by the windows upgrade advisor and hp upgrade assist, when windows 7 upgrade disc is installed, get error message that autorun.dll is missing and get error code 0x456 and computer freezes up, and the only way to get disc out of disc drive and get computer to work again is to manually turn it off, and still can't get thru to hp!

Hi m.tarek,
I doubt that this would possible. Firstly you only ordered an upgrade, that means this version can only be installed on a preinstalled Vista version. Its not a full version that you can install without OS.
Furthermore the recovery files on the second partition (btw, thats an image) contains the Vista OS and not Windows 7. This will not be updated.
Sorry mate, but therefore its necessary always to make this upgrade. Alternative you can create your own image using Acronis True Image or another image software.

Elitebook 8440p - recovery disc creation & booting from an external drive

I have a brand new Elitebook 8440p & I have a couple of issues that I cannot seem to resolve.
1. I expected to get some sort of system install, or recovery or repair discs - or the ability to create such disks with this laptop. Nothing came with it, and I cannot find any place to create some sort of system recovery disks, nor is there anything listed for this laptop on the HP site to acquire them from HP. I am not comfortable having no way to recover this computer should a hard disk go south. Any ideas how to create or get an op system disk or recovery discs or something?
2. I have an encrypted company/business hard disc inside the laptop for work. I also have the original hard disk that came with the computer in an external eSata/USB case. I have configured and installed software on the external drive to include my personal software and programs, leaving the company hard disc inside the laptop for business use only. However, I cannot make this laptop boot from the external drive if the company drive is inside the laptop. I have read and tried everything, but if a drive is inside the laptop, it will not boot from the external eSata/USB drive. If I simply remove the laptop hard drive, it boots perfectly from the external drive via eSata and works fine. How do I manage to get this laptop to boot from my external drive without having to remove the internal hard drive?
Any help or ideas someone can offer are greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Hi, Rich:
If you live in the USA or Canada, you can get a set of restore disks from HP for $10. I am surprised you didn't get a set but maybe they only come with the business desktops.
Here is how you order them:
1. Write down the part number and serial # on bottom of the computer on the white tag. The model # is an HP-Compaq 8440p, but the part number will be found on that white tag below the serial #.
2. Call HP at 1-800-952-7689, option 1 (ordering restore disks is part of the list in the option).
3. Provide the info asked by the rep that answers the phone. Some just ask for the serial #, some want both, or they will just want the serial number and type of computer (8440p).
4. Have a Master Card or Visa ready for purchasing. They don't take Discover. You will be charged $10.00.
You will receive the disks by First Class Mail or you can pay an additional $10.00 for FedEx shipping.
Sorry, I can't answer your second question. I assume you have already tried hitting the F9 key at the HP splash screen to select the device to boot from?

Recovery disc creation after upgrade to Windows 7

My laptop was supplied by Toshiba loaded with Vista. It was eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 7. I did this. Problem is that the recovery disc is for Vista.
How do I make a recovery disc for my laptop, as it is now Windows 7 operating system?

I bought my laptop about 18 months ago. It was preinstalled with Vista. I was notified by Toshiba that certain laptops recently bought would be eligible for a free online update. My laptop qualified for this & I duly updated online to Windows 7. I am aware that the recovery disc I have now is Vista. I was pleased that Toshiba gave me a free upgrade to Windows 7, but the situation now is that if I need to install/repair Windows 7, I do not have a recovery disc.
As explained earlier, my only option appears to be reinstallation of Vista & then paying to reinstall Windows 7 - a lengthy,cumbersome &expensive process.
Thanks for your interest!

Recovery disc creation

Hello,
I have a problem with my pc Toshiba. When I run the recovery software to create the Recovery DVD thats put notebook to the factory condition it cannot find the file.
So I'd like to know where I can find it.
+Message was edited by: posting has been translated+

Possibly the HDD recovery partition has been damage / deleted or modified. It seems that there is a simply problem with the recovery files.
In case you are not able to create such recovery medium, you could order the disk as posted by Xaver

Error in recovery media creation

I bought a new HP laptop recently.Its a HP PAVILION G6 2320TX.I ran the Recovery Media Creation .After the initial setup and burning of files onto my first dvd,when it comes to verify, i am getting an error that states "We are experiencing errors in recovery media creation. Please try again.” ,and the disk ejects out.
I use SONY DVD-R media so,i guess there shouldn't be any problem with the brand.I tried doing this a couple of time and each time i got the same error.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Akash.

Hello Akash_Sanu,

UEFI, HP Recovery Discs, Windows 8 and SSD drives....?

Good afternoon folks, this is really giving me a headache!
I just got a new laptop (hp dv7 7338ea), a Windows 8 machine. I ran the HP recovery disc creation burner, and it burnt a bunch of DVDs (which you can only do once), and it verified them. I’ve used similar discs before on my old HP laptop when the HDD failed, and what I want to do here is apply these new Win8 restore discs to my new SSD (Samsung 840, http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/harddrives-internal/solidstate/128gbandabove/mz-7td250...).
So I swapped the drives over, and booted up the first disc. It went fine, it seemed to be happily able to format and start copying files, and then it asked for restore disc 2.
However, when I put that disc in, it just kicks it out again and continues to ask for disc 2. I put the disc in another machine and it loads fine, I tried copying the image to another disc but it didn’t like that either. Google suggests that people have been having this disc 2 issue for a few years across numerous devices, with no solution.....
SO! I thought right, it won’t let me use the discs, maybe I’ll just image my original hard drive and apply that image to the SSD. It took me a while to get the laptop to boot from the CD at all, and when I got Clonezilla running it couldn’t even see the HDD I had connected (via USB). It could tell there was something connected to the USB but...yeah.
I managed to use a different machine to copy the HP "Recovery" partition to another drive, but couldn't boot into it.
It’s one of those new UEFI computers, and it’s the first one I’ve come across, and I’ve seen stuff online suggesting that the system does all sorts of weird stuff to make life harder, but this is where I’m at a loss and you, being well up on the current state of the tech world, might know some solutions I wouldn’t think of!
Oh also, the BIOS has some weird legacy setting that’s disabled that suggests it’s for pre Win8 OS’, and when I try to turn it on it asks me to enter a confirmation string of numbers, and that concerns me, because that usually means whatever I’m doing is pretty serious, and seeing as I don’t know what it is, I’m not going to touch it!
It also has something called Secure Boot, which from Googling I think I have a basic understanding of, the problem is I don’t want to disable Secure Boot, as I’m concerned it will wipe the “keys” it uses and then I won’t be able to get them back for my HP Win8 system.....
I’m actually strongly considering buying Windows 7, disabling this UEFI thing as much as possible and giving up all my HP software. But I don’t want to, I bought Windows 8 (well, it came with this machine), and I'd really like to use it!
Do you guys and girls have any ideas? Thank you very much for your help! I love HP's computers, and I love this laptop, and I can't wait to get it running with this SSD

if you private message me i can talk you throgh it i got a bit of software that clones a image and then you can put that image on the new ssd drive

Recovery Discs: HP Pavilion dv4-1222nr

I have an HP Pavilion dv4-1222nr Entertainment Notebook PC running Windows Vista that currently cannot find a bootable disc.
