Pavilion dv5 2035dx - reinstalling after replacing hard drive

My hard drive in my Pavilion dv5 2035dx failed -every test imaginable and I could not get Windos 7 to load.  I purchased a replacement drive that is an exact dupilcate of the original Toshoba 500 and installed in my laptop.  I was not too concerned since I had created my backup disks and had them in my possession. 
Well I put the system repair/boot disk in and everything went alon fine, until I was asked to put in my other disks. None of the other disks seem to have the information my notebook is looking for and I can not install the drivers or get the machine up and running. I've checked the HP website and can nt find a recovery kit.
I was unable to get to Windows on the old defective drive to and since I have replaced the drive, there is no restore poit to look for so I have to reinstall back to the day of purchase.  I need help, any suggestions on getting my notebook up and running again.

If in the USA, please see Windows 7 64b + Supp 3 Recovery Kit to purchase the HP Recovery Media for your computer. If elsewhere in the world, please contact official HP Customer Support, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to see if HP recovery Media is available for your model.

  • MacBook Pro does not boot past apple screen after replacing hard drive

    After replacing hard drive on MacBook Pro 13 inch early 2011 model, the screen only boots to the apple logo.  Do I need to re-install the OS?

    The problem is that the OS is not in any where else of the MacBook Pro than in the HD / SSD. If you replace the Hard Drive, then you will need to Re-install OSX into that hard drive, it's pretty easy.
    1) Power up your Macbook Pro, as fast as you can press and hold the Option key (ALT). You'll see that it opens the bootable-devices you have, you'll see a Recovery partition, click it.
    (If the Hard Drive contains data do the following)
    2) In the menu select Disk Utility.
    3) In Disk Utility go ahead and select the Hard Drive that is inside the MBP.
    4) Erase the content.
    (If the Hard Drive contains no data continue with the following jumping the last 3 steps).
    5) Select Re-install OSX.
    6) Select the Hard Drive in which you want to install it.
    Follow the steps of everything else (it should take approximately 1 hour to do the whole thing).
    Hope this helps!
    Later.

  • HT201250 How to restore laptop from time capsule after replacing hard drive

    How do I reload all my programs and files from a time capsule after changing hard drive?  Also Apple store reloaded with Snow Leopard and not Lion.  Will that be a problem?  Thank you

    Plug the external drive into a computer by usb or whatever box you have available..
    When you say blank, is it correctly formatted.. we recommend HFS+ which is Mac OS Extended (jorrnaled)
    Make sure you use GUID type disk setup not MBR if it came from PC world.
    Copy the files via finder from TC to the external drive.

  • How to reinstall os x 10.7 after replacing hard drive?

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how I can reinstall my purchased copy of OS X 10.7 (Lion) to my new hard drive. The hard drive in my imac recently died. I had to replace with a new one. It is currently running on 10.6.8 (snow leopard) because I used the CD to put on the OS after formatting. However, I prior to the dead drive, I purchased a Lion and was running on Lion. My purchase was on line so there is no CD. How can I make this upgrade again? Do I have to pay apple again for Lion?
    Thanks

    You will ultimately have to download it over the Internet.  Or I don't know, you could take your computer to an Apple Store and have them do it.

  • How to reinstall os x/data after replacing hard drive

    I'm about to replace my hard drive after the original crashed. I have a macbook pro 17" and I have the original backup cd's, also a time machine backup on external hd.I'm installing a 1tb hdd from the 750gb original.
    What is the sequence which I need to follow to restore my OS and data? The original OS is Snow Laopard, the one I ugraded to is Moutain Lion.
    Apart from the sequence will the Ext hd have the operating system backed up on it or do I need to load the original OS disc and then the Apps disc or only the Ext hd backup?
    As I'm replacing my hard drive do I need to format the new drive in disc utilities still, if so how?
    Will I be asked for any passwords?
    Any help appreciated.
    Martyn.

    Install the new HDD in your MBP. 
    Start the MBP with the Snow Leopard install disk holding down the C key.
    Proceed with the installation until you see a menu bar on top of the display. 
    From the menu bar click on UTILITIES.
    From the drop down menu select Disk Utility.
    Select Disk Utility>Erase and format the HDD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Proceed to install Snow Leopard.  It will probably be 10.6.3.
    Open SOFTWARE UPDATE and install 10.6.8.
    Then you may install Mt. Lion or Mavericks.
    Run Time Machine and install your user data.  Refer to this web site for assistance if need be:

  • Reinstalling OS9 onto )S10.4.x after replacing hard drive ??

    Don't know if this is the correct place to ask, but here goes. I think I posted this in the wrong place yesterday.
    I had a catastrophic hard drive failure on my G5 and had to have a new hard drive installed. The repairman also reinstalled OS X from my disk.
    When I tried to install OS 9 from the Install Disk, it won't do it. It says "There is nothing to install." Also, the "space needed" says 0.
    I have read the Apple help site suggestions, but that involves deleting my OS 10.4, installing OS 9, reinstalling 10.2, then updating to 10.4. I don't want to do that, for a couple of reasons:
    1. I am not going to deliet my OS...I am not computer literate enough to be comfortable doing that;
    2. How do I know OS 9 is "really" on the install disk, since it says there is nothing there?
    Anybody have any ideas.
    Thanks,

    Andy:
    Sorry! Bad news!

    1. Backup everything on your HDD you need to save.
    2. Reformat from OS 9.
    3. Install OS 9
    4. Install OS X (10.4x)
    Here's how:
    Format and Install OS 9
    This process will completely erase everything on your Hard Disk Drive. Be sure to Backup your User Folder and all third party apps you can't afford to lose
    1. Boot from your OS 9 install CD holding down C key.
    2. Go to Drive Setup and reformat your drive as Mac OS Extended (HFS+)
    2. Reinstall OS 9
    3. Update to 9.2.2: Mac OS 9: Available Updates
    4. Update your firmware
    5. Shut down computer and boot from OS X install disk as follows.
    OS X Installation Process
    Boot from you install disk holding down the "C" key.
    When booted, select language.
    Go to Utilities menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Go to File menu and Repair OS 9 Permissions!
    Quit Disk Utility.
    Open Installer and begin installation.
    Choose to Customize and deselect Foreign Language Translations and Additional Printer drivers.
    Check box to install X11 (Tiger) BSD Subsystems (Panther & earlier).
    Proceed with installation.
    After installation computer will restart for setup.
    After setup, reboot computer.
    Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
    Select First Aid in main panel.
    Click Repair Disk Permissions.
    Connect to Internet.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (PPC) or 10.4.10 Combo update

  • IMac won't boot after replacing hard drive and restoring from Time Machine

    I was having problems with my iMac but upgraded to Lion when it came out. Had a few good days and then my hard drive died.
    I had the drive replaced and the repair people put Snow Leopard on the new drive.
    I then tried to restore everything from my Time Machine backup. At first when I tried to log on the computer wouldn't accept my password (i know it was right).
    I decided to reinstall again using the snow leopard dvd i had. This time, the computer booted up (didn't ask me for a passord) and looked like it was in the process of setting things up. But Mail kept saying it was going to import messages but then quit and restarted a few seconds later. When i quit it it just came back again and again. I could see Chrome open behind it with my bookmarks in the toolbar and see other restored things, but the overall look was grey and not everything was there.
    When i restarted from the HD and not the dvd i could never get past various shades of grey and the circling progress indicator. Never booted up at all.
    I read about Lion having some restore hd functionality but it doesn't show up when i restart with option key. Am I in limbo between operating systems?
    Any advice as to steps to take? I don't know much about this stuff.
    Thanks for any help.

    Yes, if you picked a Snow Leopard backup, that's what you got. 
    You could pick a Lion backup, and it would restore it, but that wouldn't create the Recovery HD, which you will need, sooner or later.  See Using the Recovery HD.  You'll need to re-download Lion for that to be created.
    When you do that, after downloading but before installing Lion again, you might want to do this: Making a Lion Install disc or partition.  Then if you need to reinstall Lion again, you can do it from that, instead of having to download it again.

  • Pismo does not boot after replacing hard drive

    We have had an old Pismo for several years now. Two or so years ago we decided to replace the stock 6GB hard drive, which was getting full, with a new 60GB drive. We cloned the old drive via target disk mode, popped in the new drive, copied the data back (again via target disk mode), and were surprised when we were met with the flashing question mark/system folder icon. Sort of left it at that and forgot about it.
    I stumbled upon the Pismo again today and decided to see if I couldn't get it working. After going through a few "why won't this even turn on" sessions (the machine hadn't been powered on in a few years, so pulling the internal battery and resetting the PMU fixed that), I popped the old drive back in and the machine booted just fine. Cloned the original drive (again) using Carbon Copy Cloner via target disk mode to a disk image on my MacBook. Powered it down, put the new (60GB) drive back in the Pismo, cloned the disk image back to the new drive. The data's there, because I can browse it in target disk mode, but I can't boot off the new hard drive. I can't boot off my Tiger install DVD either - the DVD drive spins up and tries to access the disc, but won't boot. I'm going to try and get my hands on the CD version of Tiger to see if there's a difference using that.
    Disk Utility on the MacBook says there's nothing wrong with the Pismo's hard drive, but I'm not convinced that's the case. I'd heard about Pismos being picky with certain types of hard drives, is this true? If not, what other issues might be leading to this behavior?

    Is this perhaps an artifact of the drive being formatted via target disk mode on my MacBook
    I suspect that the problem lies somewhere in that situation. I suggest that you boot from the install disk as I suggested previously and reformat the HDD and reinstall the OS.
    Formatting, Partitioning Erasing a Hard Disk Drive
    Warning! This procedure will destroy all data on your Hard Disk Drive. Be sure you have an up-to-date, tested backup of at least your Users folder and any third party applications you do not want to re-install before attempting this procedure.
    • Boot the MacBook Firewire Target Disk Mode.
    • Insert install disk into MacBook's optical drive.
    • Connect computers via firewire cable
    • Option Boot Pismo.
    • Select Install Disk for startup and click on the straight arrow.
    • Select language
    • Go to the Utilities menu (Tiger and later) Installer menu (Panther & earlier) and launch Disk Utility.
    • Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
    • Select Partition tab in main panel. (You are about to create a single partition volume.)
    • Click on Options button
    • Select Apple Partition Map (PPC Macs)
    • Click OK
    • Select number of partitions in pull-down menu above Volume diagram.
    (Note 1: One partition is normally preferable for an internal HDD.)
    • Type in name in Name field (usually Macintosh HD)
    • Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    • Click Apply/Partition button at bottom of panel.
    • Select Erase tab
    • Select the sub-volume (indented) under Manufacturer ID (usually Macintosh HD).
    • Check to be sure your Volume Name and Volume Format are correct.
    • Click Erase button
    • Quit Disk Utility.

  • Blinking Folder with Question Mark after replacing Hard Drive

    I have a 2010 Macbook Pro. It recently stopped starting up.  I took it to the Genius Bar and the guy working there told me I needed to replace the hard drive.  I did that.  Now when I start the computer up I get a blinking folder with a question mark on it.
    I've tried holding Option to get to the Start Up Manager and I've tried holding Command+R to get to Recovery and both give me no results.
    I cannot find my original Installation Disc.
    Can anyone give me advice on what I should do next? Do I need to get another copy of the Install DVD to continue?

    Install Snow Leopard from the original discs that came with the computer. You cannot use a retail Snow Leopard DVD with that model. Update to 10.6.8. You can then redownload Lion or Mountain Lion freely if you have purchased them already.
    The first thing you must do is partition and format the drive before you can install OS X. To do that you will need an installer disc. You can purchase replacements from Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support.
    You cannot use Internet Recovery unless you had Lion or Mountain Lion already installed. In that case see:
    Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How do I get LR4 to find all photos in catalog after replacing hard drive on mac? question marks all

    I had the hard drive replaced on my mac.  I did a restore from back up drive to my new hard drive.  First LR4 couldn't find the catalog so I pointed to it. Then I opened lightroom 4 and it cannot see ANY of my photos. I don't want to link each folder full of photos it will take hours. Isn't there another way to do this so it finds them all at once?  Photos are still located in the same location on the new hard drive after restore.  Nothing changed except the hard drive.  Thank you!

    I did find something in another post that suggests to go to the top most file in the structure and right click and click on "find missing folder" then you point to that folder and it will find all subfolders and photos.   This really worked well for most of the photos but I have I must have moved at some point that I will have to relocate.  This is good information whether you are working with a Mac or a PC. I think it would work for either.  I hope this helps someone else out there.

  • Can I restore from Time Machine backup after replacing hard drive

    I'm planning on replacing the 250GB hard drive in my mid 2010 13 inch MBP with a larger one. My MBP comes with Snow Leopard, and I've installed Lion and recently Mountain Lion from App Store. Can I use my Snow Leopard disc to boot up the laptop after replacing the hard drive, and restore Mountain Lion and everything else from the latest backup in Time Machine without having to install Snow Leopard?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting and restore your backup. You shouldn't use 10.6 to restore the Mountain Lion backup

  • How to get system restored after replacing hard drive.

    Bought a MacBook Pro about two years ago, hard drive failed and was replaced. Any way to get my iphoto, imovie, etc back on computer without having to pay for it since it originally came with the computer when I bought it?

    If you did not buy the computer with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed, then you can reinstall these applications from the original installer discs that came with your computer.
    If Lion or Mountain Lion was pre-installed, then re-download the applications from the App Store.

  • Create a restore point fails with 0x81000101 error after replacing hard drives

    I recent had a hard drive failure so, figuring that I may as well gain something for all of the work, I replaced both drives in my RAID 1 array (thereby doubling the drive space).  I then restored from back up and all has appeared well for several months
    now.  Last week I started having trouble with RDC which led me to potential issues with my Intel RAID driver which finally led me to System Restore points.  It turns out that they haven't been working for some time now and I've been unable to get
    them started using any of the advice in the other discussions on this particular topic.
    All of the necessary services should be running.  I've also tried turning system protection off/on.
    The new information that I provide is that when I first opened the System Protection tab, I found two entries for the C: drive.  The first had protection turned off.  The second, named OS, was listed as missing.  After a couple of attempts
    with the configuration, I ended up with one entry for OS (C:) with protection On.  It still didn't work which led me to the forum and many failed attempts at getting this one feature working.
    One of the other discussions mentioned the RestoreSystem log files.  They are, of course, binary files but I was able to see that I'm getting something called SxRegReadDWORD4FAILED6 fairly soon followed later by a FAILED CSpp::_CreateSnapshotSet.
    I'm hoping that somebody with the right tool and knowledge to actually read those files can help me get restore points working again.

    Hi,
    What is the full error messages? Like this?
    The shared restore point operation failed with error (0x81000101) The creation of a shadow copy has timed out. Try this operation again.
    If yes, then we might take a try with the method mentioned in the below blog:
    Windows Server Backup failed to backup with error 0x81000101
    Let us know the process.
