Pavilion m6 1045dx recovery issues

I had received an error message that my hard drive is at risk of failing. I had not created a recovery flash drive before (foolish, I know) so I made one. When trying to start up from the USB drive, I get the error "you are not able to restore this system with the media".
Prior to this, I tried to make an image of my drive to an external HD. After numerous hours, it failed (I believe due to the compromised internal HD).
I have run chkdsk on the drive numerous times, but that is not sufficient to correct the problem.
I can still boot to Windows 7 on the laptop, but I am not sure where to go from here. I would like to avoid having to reinstall everything from scratch, but that may be what I am stuck doing. Also, it looks like I will have to buy another copy of Win 7, since the recovery flash drive does not work. Any ideas or suggestions?
This question was solved.

Here is a link to the Official Digital River Microsoft .iso of Win7 HP 64 bit with SP1 already included.
http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-58997.iso
This is an .iso (DVD image) and needs to be burned to a DVD using special .iso software. Nero would do it or there are free Windows apps available. I use .iso recorder. Your laptop is likely still capable of buring an .iso to a DVD.

This is Windows 7 only you will need to add drivers and any programs you want but this as I said will at least get you up and running on a bare hard drive. You will need to plug in your Key Code to activate this installation and it may require using the MS phone activation but it will work and is legal.

HP Pavilion dv6 Vista Recovery - Physical memory dump w/ error code 0x000000F4 (and others)

Hello Everyone,
This is my first time posting in the forums so I hope that I have chosen the appropriate area and will do my best to be brief but informative.
Computer: HP Pavilion dv6000
Operating System: Windows Vista.
For the past 6-8 months it has been unable to perform Windows Update citing that the most likely reason was a virus. I have tried numerous trouble shooting options when it was recommended that I perform a chkdsk. After initiating a chkdsk in Command Prompt, my computer restarted and had a black screen with no cursor. After watching this for 2 hours and realizing that none of the usual chkdsk progress or text was coming up I made the decision to force shut down.
When I rebooted, I was told to enter system recovery which I did and completed a system recovery from the hard drive. After the system recovery finished and the laptop restarted, I experience a Blue Screen of Death due to a physical memory dump. The error codes are STOP: 0x000000F4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA8006671040, 0xFFFFFA8006671278, 0xFFFFF80001D01DA0).
I am not able to boot in safe mode. In the start up repair, I am able to enter command prompt from which I started chkdsk again. Both chkdsk f/ and chkdsk r/ passed with no errors. Additionally, the computer passed both UEFI Hard Drive and Memory tests. I have system recovery CDs for the computer but they fail at 78% completion.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require anymore information. I would appreciate any and all advice!
Thank you!

HP Pavilion DVD-3013eo recovery problem with dvd`s Win 7 x64

Hi, i have a problem with my dv7-3013eo pavilion, recovery dvd just wont work, they are original but here's the problem:
in recovery pavilion says something like this on start recovery program is not compatible of this version of windows, but it proceed, then it Boot's then the installation stars and then uiadump32exe crashes, and pavilion says start recovery again? that shall i do?
My windows version is WIndows 7 x64 Home, and computer is broken. dvd are fine and this is first time i have to use them.

Hi:
I don't have an answer for you, but I have a workaround if you can't get the recovery disks to work.
You will only have the option of installing the English, French or Spanish version of W7 Home Premium 64 bit.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to DVD's for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river/
Now, instead of burning these to a DVD, use the Windows 7 USB flash drive installation tool available at the link below and follow the instructions on the page to install.
You will need a 4 GB flash drive or larger.

HP Pavilion DM3 1039wm Notebook System Recovery Issue

HP Pavilion Dm3 currently running on Windows 7 Home Premium
About a month ago I purchased a recovery dvd from the website and a external usb cd drive.When I recieved the external usb drive in the mail and the disk I realized that I had purchased the wrong one so for days I went searching on the internet looking for an alternative way to put my netbook back to factory setting.I end up findig a solution and installed windows 7 using a downloaded iso file from the internet. After a few days the computer started acting up and so I decided to buy the right external usb dvd and cd drive.Once I got it in the mail I inserted disk 1 and it loaded up the factory image preperation so I started it and for severl hours it stayed on the same percent so I put the other disc in and made sure that my BIOS was set to run the cd drive and when I cut the computer on it says loading files and then a gray screen with constant commands keeps loading and then the computer restarts and it just keeps doing the same thing until the computer just shuts itself off.I have tried changing the BIOS back but that doesnt work either.PLEASE HELP ME

Try Cyberlink Utility cd. Download and Save the file. Once download is complete, put a blank cd in your drive and double click the file to create a boot cd. Boot with this cd and wait until you get a green check mark indicating hdd is ready. Remove the cd , insert first Recovery Disk and restart the laptop.

HP Pavilion dv6 1444ee Recovery Disc Issue

Hi,
I created three recovery discs soon after I purchased my laptop..The Recovery Disc #1 was inside the optical disc tray while I was resolving some issues on a Linux distro called Backtrack5..Playing around with linux' bootloader and when I tried booting from the Optical drive (i-e Recovery Disc labelled #1) the PC did not recognise it at all..Somehow I managed to run the existing installation of Windows7 (the original one that came with my laptop) and inside Computer it shows that my Optical drive has no filesystem and occupies 0 bytes..But in "Create and format partitions" the optical drive shows to have a RAW filesystem..
The question is: Is there any way to get back the Recovery Disc #1?? If not,any other measure that I could take now so that in the future I can reinstall my factory shipped OS..
Thanks

Recovery (D) is 89% full on my Pavilion m6 1045dx entertainment PC OS Windows7 , Home Premium

How can one empty the recovery without to much risk to the system?

Go to Control Panel --> System and Security --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management --> Storage --> Disk Management.
From this window you can view and modify partitions of almost any storage device attached to your computer. There isn't a lot that you can do with the currently mounted hard drive besides formatting (which erases all the partitions) and modifying the sizes of the partitions. If you take the hard drive out of your laptop though and plug it in to another computer (like your desktop) with another bootable hard drive, you can use these steps and should have more freedom to modify the partitions on the hard drive.

HP Pavilion DV6 3122TX recovery partition deleted, need to install windows

Hi,
I have a Pavilion DV6 3122TX notebook. The system would hang profusely when ever I was accessing any file, no it was not a virus or anything, I found out it was the HD due to error screen at startup "Hard Disk Error, Hard Disk 1(3F1)", I ran all self checks and diagnostics but nothing improved. So I formatted the drive completely deleted all partitions even the internal recoveries and others (my bad).
My recovery disc cannot be read by the laptop, the DVDRom LED blinks for a few seconds then nothing happens, "It says invalid system disk. Replace the disk, and then pres any key blah blah blah ..." The disc is fine I have checked. I changed the boot options to boot from internal CD/DVD.
I need a working windows as a temporary solution as quickly as possible. I cannot install Windows 7 apparently this is due to some lock (turns out it was unable to detect the HDD). Windows XP cannot see the drive due to AHCI driver requirement (can't switch back to IDE) due to BIOS lock. So I tried the AHCI driver slipstream method, now here's my problem I can't find the proper AHCI drivers for my laptop since I cannot login to Win to check with CPUz. Can someone direct me to the right text-mode drivers for this laptop to slipstream into winxp x86 using NliteOS. I'll take the laptop to be fixed to a service centre next month but now I need a solution. Even if you can fix my recovery solution it would be great.
I can access the hard drive using Linux. So the HDD is ok, please do not refer me to change the HDD that is not an option right now. (HDD was the problem)
Sorry for such a long post
Thanks in advance..

Hi @Premlez
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I am happy to help you with your data. Assuming that your hard drive is both functional and readable, then there are a few ways that you can get you information copied.
Here is a page from wikiHow that shows several ways you can do that. Do not let the title worry you, it is just as applicable to your current situation. You want to do a recovery to repair your notebook before the repair which is the smart thing to do. If the computer will not start properly, then for now this is how you would try to backup the data.
How to Recover Data from the Hard Drive of a Dead Laptop
Since you will need to take the drive out of the notebook for these methods , here is the service and maintenance manual to show you how.

Hi:
Yes you can.
Here are the instructions and you should be all set.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

HP Pavilion Dv6 7078CA Recovery without recovery disc

Hello!! i have an Hp Pavilion Dv6 - 7078ca, and after just 6 months of use, the Hard Drive just died.
because i live in Brazil, and brought the Computer back home, i couldnt use the warrant, since the warrant is for canada only.
so i changed by my own the HDD for one on the exact same model that it had, but for my surprise, when i used the recovery media that i had made, the DVDs were corrupted, so i coudnt recover it using the recovery media.
I tried to install the windows 7 home premium (the same that came with the notebook), but there was some hardware incompatibility, so i couldnt install the drivers of it.
and the worst problem is: i cant even order other recovery media, because even if i ask them to deliver in some friends house in Canada, so this friend ships for me, HP canadian website dont accept international credit card.
so, my question is, anyone know if i am able to restore my computer without this recovery medias? if yes, how can i do that?
thanks!!

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion dv6-7078ca Entertainment Notebook Computer. According to the specs, this model shipped with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed at the factory. Here is the HP Software and Driver Downloads page for your computer.
You can use the information in this HP forum thread entitled "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" to download, create the media, and install Windows 7 Home Premium using the Windows product key on bottom of your computer. Please note that this will not restore any of the HP "value-added" that originally come installed on your computer.
If you have any issues installing Windows, please post back. If, after Window is installed, you have missing and/or unknown device listed in the Windows Device Manager... please provide the "Hardware Ids" of the devices.

HP Pavilion dv6 System Recovery disabled

I bought my HP Pavilion dv6 notebook (running Windows 7) about 2 and a half years back.
It worked beautifully for about an year and a half after which issues began to crop up. First, it was my battery that gave up (I operate it on direct power now with battery backup of around 5 minutes), then there were blue screen errors and the machine getting hot around the bottom left at times (mostly when I ran games). I still continued to use it without taking it to the techician. After a couple more months the DVD drive stopped working for no reason (it opens and closes but does not read the disks).
I had it last week when the machine's fan (I guess it's the fan) started making loud grinding noises. The noises get louder when I'm on the internet. The technician took it down and gave the fan a proper vacuum but the noise persists.
Also, the system has slowed down due to virus attacks (I suppose). There are weird advertisements on this laptop when I run sites like youtube and google. These ads that don't appear on my other laptop. Some sites take an awful lot longer to load (mostly on Google Chrome). The system also, at times, just stops responding and I have to directly switch it off without properly shutting it down.
Now, with some help from forums here I decided to run the 'System Recovery' but it displays the following message:
"Restore your computer to it's original factory condition (Disabled : Please use Recovery Media to recover your system)." I was given no disks for recovery at the time of purchase not that it would have been of any use as my DVD drive no longer works.
With some online help I also ran Hard drive and Memory tests. The Hard Drive test gives the error: "hard disk 1 quick (303)." I gather that means, my hard disk is dying a slow death now.
Now my system has ran down it's warranty and nothing seems to work. The machine seems to be in a tangle, what do I do?
I somehow would love to factory reset my laptop without an external drive. Is that Possible? What am I looking at?

I understand the problem. HERE is a thread that gives the best possible solution for the same situation.
