Pavilion dv6-3120sa​. Error: 0x000024. Windows BCD store file contains some invalid informatio​n.

Pavilion dv6-3120sa. Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit.
PC boots into Windows and everything runs OK but I've lost the ability to launch Startup Repair.
I wanted to create a new partition and move personal files for three users to it so the C: drive is for OS and programs only. I hoped to assign the drive letter 'D' to the new partition.
As 4 primary partitions already exist, I had to make an extended partition and moved an existing partition to it. I removed the drive letters from the Recovery and HP_Tools partitions and assigned the new partition 'D'.
Fearing I'd done wrong, I found Recovery would not work then read the Recovery partition must remain as 'D' and tried to put things back as they were.
Partitions are now as follows: Primary partitons: System, OS on 'C', HP_Tools no drive letter plus a lot of unallocated space. Extended partition with Recovery as 'D'.
When I restart and press ESC then F11 and choose 'Launch Startup Repair' I get the message "The Windows Boot Configuration Data BCG store file contains some invalid information".
I explored with Bootrec and BCDEdit.
I've identified the 'ResumeObject' GUID but shied away from doing anything with it.
Description: Windows Recovery Environment
Status: 0x0000024
Info: The configuration for an element within the object is invalid in the Boot Configuration Data store.
I do not want to do anything that might affect the PC as it is working just fine, but would like to get 'Recovery' working properly.
When I restart, press ESC then F2 System Diagnostics, it takes me to HP_Tools OK as I can see and use the menu of items so it seems that partiotn is functioning.
I had made a Recovery CD and used it with the Bootrec and BCDEdit commands but am unsure what to do next as I don't want to make the situation worse by using the wrong command.
Please can you tell me what to edit and how?

Moving the Recovery partition to the extended partition is not going to work. I really don't understand why you are moving personal files to another partition and still expecting to use Recovery anyway when needed because it will wipe out the partition with personal files. Best to use external USB HDD for file storage.

  • Error Message:The folder path 'Program Files' contains an invalid character

    I have an 80G iPod. I never had a problem with the itunes program until I switched to Vista. When I try to open iTunes I get the following error message:
    *The folder path 'Program Files' contains an invalid character*
    I have itunes installed on both my HP and on an external hard drive that I use as my backup in case something goes wrong. Neither one opens and I get the same error message on both. I have tried to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall and get the same message so I can't uninstall.
    I'm really frustrated, I need to get to my music for a huge presentation in a few days. Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Hp pavilion dv6-6113cl entertainment pc windows 7 hard disk error 303 305

    Hi, my PC stopped working a few months ago. I have trying to find a way to fix it, but with no luck. A few weeks ago, I decided to buy the recovery disks from Hp. I did, and they came in the mail a few days ago. I use them, but all that pops up is a purplish screen(instead of what should be blue) with a cursor and that's about it. I did a hard disk test and it said hard disk quick 303 and full 305. Can someone help me please?

    Hi:
    Those errors indicate that you need to replace the hard drive, which is why the recovery disks won't work.
    You should purchase a hard drive of the same size or larger capacity than the one that came with your PC or the recovery disks won't work on a smaller capacity hard drive than what came with your PC.

  • 0x80240437 error in windows 8 store

    While installing apps from the windows store , it says your apps couldn't be installed. After clicking on reinstall , it says that     0x80240437 error is occurring . Please help me and it'll be much appreciated.  

    That's what worked for me:
    Run the Windows update troubleshooter
    Restarted the device
    In detail:
    Ctrl+W (Search Charm)
    Select "Settings"
    Write "Troubleshooting"
    Tap on "Troubleshooting"
    Tap on "Fix problems with System Update"
    Tap on "Advanced"
    Tap on "Run as administrator"
    Tap on "Next" and follow the instructions
    Reboot the device
    Mind you, rebooting the device is vital.
    Cheers!
    Thanks very much!  This is the only thing that has worked for me - after much trying and researching. And Microsoft wonders why it's not doing so well. Ridiculous that this kind of problem isn't automatically fixed and that it's so hard to find someone
    who can explain how to fix the problem AND that the answer didn't come from a Microsoft person.

  • HP Pavilion dv6, a reboot of window 7, have all but no sound??

    Got the lapy secondhand,  it had been mistreated,  some keys not working bah bah.. anyway windows was slow & stalling so I reasoned a reboot will help.. After a reboot had all but no sound,, it's there bit faint as.. have done all the normal expected stuff uninstall, let windows find the drivers, gone lonking myself ... but windows keeps telling me I have the right drivers & there is sound if you put a ear within 2" of the lapy... so what am I missing?? Input would be good .

    Ok I have checked other post here & from replys from DavidPK in one I have kicked up what sound I had.. I have done all DavidPK has siad in the other post ... BUT umm still sound at 1/3 of what it should be?? So any other help would be better than none..Cheers

  • CV02N Error in Windows 7: This file could not be found!

    After uploading a file to the DMS, we could usually double click the file name and the file will be opened automatically in WORD.
    This was succeeded in Windows XP.
    But in Windows 7 environment, after clicking the file name,  the WORD is started, no file opened. It says: This file could not be found!.
    Is there any solution about this issue? Thanks!
    BTW, I have tried GUI 720. But the issue remained the same.

  • ERROR: The folder path 'All Pictures' contains an invalid character... ???

    I get that error when i try to install itunes
    i do use an external hard drive to store my pictures, music, etc...
    in my start menu, when i click the shortcuts for pictures or music, they do not work. When i right click them and hit properties, everything is blank.
    I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the problem, but it might. PLEASE HELP!

    Do a Start > Search and find out whether you do have a "All Pictures" folder.
    Sounds like your system got changed from having a "My Pictures" folder to naming it "All Pictures".
    The Windows default names them "My Pictures", "My Music", and so on.
    You can fix the shortcuts by doing the right-click, then browsing to wherever that "All Pictures" folder is.

    hi Scott!
    entire path of what??
    the path mentioned in your error message. in the title of your post.
    i'm pretty sure Katrina is asking you about this because this installer error usually shows up on 2000 boxes. see:

    so if we have to finesse this in your case, it's useful to know precisely what path is being referenced by the error.

    There must be something wrong when Apple updated QT7.1 to 7.2 because 7.2 is much more buggy than 7.1 and mysterious errors such as yours is not happened only on PC ver but also Mac ver.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 1334us won't start after windows update, stuck in Error Recovery

    My computer is an HP Pavilion dv6 1334us with 32bit-windows 7. The computer did automatic updates and when it started up said there was another one avaliable through WIndows Updater. I installed the update and it said the computer needed to restart for the update to take effect. I choose to restart and the computer wouldn't boot back up, it boots to the 'Windows Error Recovery' screen where my options are 'Launch Startup Repair (recommended)' and 'Start Windows Normally'. When I select the repair, it says it loads windows files, then goes back to the error recovery screen. When I choose to start normally, it freezes the second it trys to start, flashes a blue screen and then returns to the Error Recovery page again.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    First, uninstall Skype and when this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has reloaded, download and reinstall the Chipset driver Here.
    When the installation has finished, restart the notebook again.
    Let windows fully load, then download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45001-45500/sp45044.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.
    Let Windows fully load, then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
    Reinstall Skype and see if the Mic now works Ok.

  • Hp Pavilion dv6-6c35dx Windows 7 beats audio problems

    Product name : Hp Pavilion dv6-6c35dx
    Operating System : Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 Bit
    I'm having a problem with some of the sliders in my beats audio options. The sliders in the graphic equalizer section work just fine, but the ones to the left of it - bass, treble, center, etc - have no effect on the sound no matter how I adjust them. Below is a picture of what I'm talking about.  This problem seemed to happen shortly after I needed to reset my pc back to factory settings. I've gone to the drivers section of the hp website and got the HD IDT audio driver for my model called "sp58131" and installed it but all it did was reset the sliders, the problem still persists. Is there anything else I can do?

    Hi Vivi,
    I understand you are having issues with your HP Pavilion dv6-6c35dx Notebook and Beats Audio. I would uninstall the driver from the device manager and any others that might be in the Audio. Then reinstall it from here.
    Hope this helps.
