Problems with recovery manager

Hi i am new to this forum and didn't have abit of idea whats going on with my HP mini 110- 1135TU using windows 7 starter.
I performed 2-3 times of the recovery from the recovery partition and everytime it fails me just auto-restarted during the process.
then upon the 3rd tries, from then on i was not able to enter again to the recovery manager interface.
it still boot normally, but whenever i key in my password and a few seconds later, it will say windows could not complete the installation. To install windows on this computer, restart the installation.
I have no way to access windows 
Didn't know whats going on, really appreciates if someone could help me with this.

Hi,
If you have created your USB Recovery, use this to perform the reinstallation.
If you don't have this, you can order a replacement Recovery USB Kit using the link below and use this to reinstall Windows.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00810334&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP - make sure to specify that you require the USB Recovery Kit.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
Regards,

  • USB Drives - Problem with Recovery Manager

    I bought a Kingston DataTraveler 112 16GB thumb drive so I could copy the recovery image as a backup. It recognized the thumb drive and showed that the recovery image was a little over 11GB. But when it started to format the USB, it returned to the previous screen and no longer showed the drive there. At the bottom of the screen it said to contact HP Support but it didn't give me an error message. Now when I try the recovery manager it won't recognize the USB at all.
    Prior to that I had purchased another 16GB USB--don't remember which brand. I have 5 other USB drives, but they're all smaller, except a 32GB Kingston DT101 G2 which does not work on this computer, although it worked on my previous computer (Pavilion w/Vista Home Premium) with no problem. All these USBs, including the new Kingston are for USB 2.0.
    OS is Windows 8.1 64 bit on HP Pavilion 500-A60 desktop. I've tried the problem USB drives in all 4 ports (2.0 and 3.0). Also in the one I plug into a port to give me 3 USB ports, also used on my prior computer.
    Is it possible that this computer doesn't recognize Kingston or certain other brands of USB thumb drives?
    This question was solved.

    The trick to this is to use a USB 2.0 port and to use a non-Windows 8 certified thumbdrive. If the USB flash drive shows as a "removable device" then there should be no issue in using the media to create recovery media
    I have had great success with a Transcend USB 3.0 16-GB flash disk.
    I own a couple of DataTraveler flash disks and had the same lack of success creating recovery media that you did. I have also had zero success with Sandisk Extreme usb 3.0 flash disks

  • Urgent problem with Recovery Manager's File backup operation: No storage device detected

    I have a Pavilion g7-1070us laptop that failed to start and simply displays a blue-screen with a blinking cursor (no error message).
    I could NOT get into safe-mode by hitting F8, but was able to activate the “HP recovery manager” by hitting F11.
    I was trying to back-up my files before triggering the system restore. It asked me what types of files to back-up, then scanned the computer for these files and was finalizing the files for back-up; then suddenly an error message showed up saying something like "No storage device detected. Make sure the removable disc drive is connected to computer". But I have both a blank DVD sitting in the optical drive and a USB drive attached!!!!!!
    I was expecting the system to ask me where to save these backed-up files but no such question was asked and this nonsense error message appeared out of nowhere. Apparently the recovery manager couldn't see my DVD or USB drive?
    Can someone throw me a life-saver here? If I cannot recover my files, I cannot proceed with the system restore and I am forever stuck here!!!!!!
    Please help!!!! Much appreciated!!
    This question was solved.

    The blinking cursor means the system is attempting to load Windows, but is unable to read the boot files. There are a number of causes including hardware issues. Run the tests as before to ensure the hardware is functional. I would have to run through the software repair steps only to find it is a hardware issue. Hard drives is perhaps the most common component to have issues regardless of the manufacturer.
    I suspect the hard drive will pass the test and will go ahead and link to DavidPK's posts in this thread as they have the best chance to resolve the issue without losing and restoring everything. I do recommend this step at this point since two recoveries did not resolve the issue. DavidPK's solution comes in two parts, so be sure to follow both starting with the first post and moving to the second post should the first one not do the trick.
    Let me know how this goes.

  • I have a problem with session manager session files because of the invalid json storage data submited by firefox

    Hi, i have problem with session manager's session files. The problem is: the submitted storage data from firefox which is put between "storage":{ and its matching closing brace } But in some of my session files there is non equal { and } under storage's braces. I need to get storage data but in my case it is very hard to do. My question is there any char put before or after { and } like /{ or \{ to avoid confusion? If there is not such thing, i think there could be different solution but i am not sure: i look couple of my session files; after "storage":{...} there is ,_"formDataSaved" so i can get storage data in this example ... by looking between "storage":{ and ,"_formDataSaved" easily. Is there every time ,"_formDataSaved" after "storage":{ ?  Thank you.

    Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
    So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
    If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

    Sorry,
    i cannot stop those managed server - in Control tab I have active only option

  • Problem with Recovery Partition(After i got a Virus)

    Hi all,
     I am using HP Envy 15 notebook with windows 7 home premium x64-bit installed.I didnt create the recovery disks since i got this notebook and what happened is that i got a virus from the internet but i almost repaired all system faults caused by it but the main problem for me is that it change all main drive folders name into Virus1232 for example (d:\recovery changed into d:\virus1234) and i spent hours over the internet to get the right folder and file names and i got them all but only one file not sure of.My problem is when i enter the Recovery Manager it doesn't detect any my recovery partition(but the virus isnt responsible for any file deletion it just caused some system changes) and just to speak i also corrected the folder and file names in c: drive since they are needed too.
    These are the filenames i got in D: drive : bootmgr - BT_HP.flg - CSP.DAT - DeployRp.log -  HPSF_Rep.txt - language.ini ; and the filename let is the one im not sure of: "HP_WSD.dat" (it is a zero-byte file).
    The recoverymgrdump.txt works right untit "CSBRMgr::GetRPTOOLPartIndex leaving!"
    then it tells me :
    "Win32 System Info Code = 3, Info Message = The system cannot find the path specified."
    and it also say :
    "CSBRMgr::HpcdFlgIsExistInUP <UP>:\WINDOWS\hpdrcu.prc does not exist."
    I dont know if that is normal but also the deployrp.log gives me this error:
    "Package does not exist: c:\RM\Tools\DeployRp\WinPE_LangPacks\64\winpe-setup.cab"
    ofcourse there are more errors in both files but i guess those are the most important.
    So my question is: could the file attributes in d: drive be responsible for this error(i changed all attrbutes to be system hidden and read only)
    OR
    If anyone have a solution please tell me what to do.
    Thanks.

  • Reinstalli​ng files backed up with Recovery Manager

    I have a Pavillion M9000, system KC880AA running Windows Vista Home Premium.  I had to do a full restore to factory settings after a failed attempt to update Vista to SP 1 (son's computer, never updated after a failed up date attempt in 2008 or 09.)  I backed up their pictures using the Recovery Manager.  It created 4 CDs.  After they were burned, the system finished going through the recovery process as usual and now the computer boots up normally.  I want to restore the files to the computer and cannot figure out how.  I re-booted and hit F11 until the Recovery Manager opened, then selected "back up files", selected the types of files, and the computer started building another list of graphics files from the hard drive.  I did not see any option to restore the files from CD.  I opened the CDs and did not see any files at all, but the CDs appear full, when I clicked on the "Properties" tab in the My Computer window.  What am I missing?  How can I get the files onto the computer?  I understand they would be placed in a separate folder and I will have to sort them out, but that's not a problem.

    Thank you for your reply.  I used HP Recovery Manager to make the back up files.  Backup and Restore wizard does not recognize that a backup was done since it was not done with the, wait for it, Backup and Restore wizard. My question was more about how to find the .exe file that was supposed to be made to restore the recovered files.  As I said, I have 4 CDs full of something but I cannot see anything and Recovery Manager isn't being very helpful as far as I can tell.  It wants to go through and recover files from my re-built Vista installation.
    In any event, I used a free utility to recover most of the files, so I no longer need any assistance with this problem.
    Thanks again!

    Hi,
    I have copied a number of SSID packages from a live server to my test server and am trying to get them up and running but I have a problem with the connection. The only thing that is different is the server name. I decided to keep the same connection in the connection manager as it is referenced in a dtsConfig file. I changed the dtsConfig file to reference the new servername [Data Source= new test server name]. I also check my paths and they are pointing to the correct config locations etc.
    I found this post which was similar to my problem but I still get problems with the connection
    http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1319961&SiteID=1
    I updated the connection by changing the server name in the actual connection. I did this from the data flow tab in the Connection Managers sections (MS Visual Studio). Right clicked - Edit - changed the name of the server name to my test server and selected the database. Test connection was fine, and saved this.
    Once I saved this, the connection string changed to my current test server in the properties of the connection. However when I run the package I get the following error:
    Error: 0xC0202009 at ReportsImport, Connection manager "myconnectionstring": SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

    Error: 0xC0024107 at Myprocess import from file: There were errors during task validation.
    So even if I change the existing connection properties and save and Build my package again, my connection properties (connectionstring, servername etc) all revert back to its original data source when I re-open the package. Simply it does not seem to be saving the connection properties i put in.
    What am I doing wrong or how can I change the existing connection manager to look at the new server. The database is  the same and I have full admin privilege on the server.
    I don't want to recreate my packages as there are alot and they are not simple.
    After changing the connection properties, saving and reloading I get a connection error. But this is because it is not retaining the new connection manger setting i entered.
    Incidentally - I created a new SSID to perform a simple connection and write to the the server and it was OK so there is no problem with actually seeing the my test server.
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, the package is in visual studio and I have executed it. There are no errors but in the output i have the error message about my connection. My dtsConfig file is added to the project in the 'Package Configuration Organizer' and path and files are correct. This is the output error:
    Error: 0xC020801C at xx import from file, xxReportsImport [79]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER.  The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "myconnectionname" failed with error code 0xC0202009.  There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
    I will try and run it using dtexec.exe. if I have two config files do i use
    dtsexec.exe /f <packagename> /conf <configfile> /conf <secondconfigfile>

  • ITunes 10.6 Mac Problem with Subscriptions Management

    I have my MacBook updated to the latest everything, including iTunes 10.6.
    I have noticed a problem with iTunes, in that I can log in to the store with my AppleId and buy apps, music, books, magazines movies etc and everything works fine.
    However some apps have an auto-renewing subscription and I have a problem here. I log in with my AppleId, go to manage account and am then presented with an endless loop of password requests.
    There doesn't seem to be any way to get to the subscriptions to turn them off.
    Does anyone have any helpful tips?
    thanx

    I just tried this also on my iPad and it doesn't work there either. Although I can get into the account settings, when I try and change a subscription I get a big black rectangle in the middle of the screen and the iPad hangs until the screen login thing kicks in and I have to enter my pincode again.
    Maybe this is something to do with my AppleId, I can't actually believe this is a fundamental problem, although maybe  I am optimistic.

  • Recovery from recovery discs made with recovery manager on g62

    I got the blue screen of death and had to do a system restore for my hp g62 laptop. Before i restored the computer, the recovery manager launched and had me backup my files. I backed up the system on like 15 discs using hp"s recovery manager. After it was done, i returned the computer back to factory settings. Now, im having a problem using the recovery discs made thru the recovery manager. The files arent being read. I tried to copy them and move them onto the hard drive....and they are all saved as .wim files....which arent read by anything. So i have all my files backed up, but that arent opening. How the hell do i open my files that i backed up? How do i put my files back on the computer?

    Hi,
    I've never really used the HP File Recovery system, but you can open an Image file as follows.
    Download and install 7-Zip from the following link.
    http://www.7-zip.org/
    When installed, right click on the .wim file, select 7-Zip, select Extract Files and click Ok - your files should be in the newly extracted folder.

  • Problem with Path Managed property in alternate zones - also we have identified problem with Product catalog in alt zones

    Hi All,
    I'll start "one step back". Note we have resolved this issue but it is worth mentioning:
    Yesterday we set up the product catalog. We were having a lot of inexplicable problems with it initially. After much troubleshooting, we found that it was because we were browsing the SharePoint site via the "Internet Zone" rather than the "Default
    Zone" when we "Connected" our site to the product catalog. Issues experienced:
    1) "Catalog Item URL Format" displayed error "Properties <Managed Property> specified by the shared catalog could not be found in the search schema" when attempting to connect to the catalog, despite that managed property being
    configured correctly. The catalog would connect despite the error, and the navigation worked fine.
    2) The search Result Source for the catalog would not return any results. Configuring the query and selecting "Advanced Mode" would show SPSiteURL:http://externalURL.domain.com. Changing SPSiteURL manually to
    http://InternalURL resulted in results being returned as expected.
    After much troubleshooting, we found that if were browsing SharePoint using the default zone (http://InternalURL) when we connected the Product Catalog, the result source then worked properly (internally and externally).
    Ok, so now onto our current problem:
    The Product Catalog appeared to be working properly (internally and externally) after figuring out that we needed to connect it from the Default Zone. However, we have found a remaining glitch, which doesn't appear to be Product-Catalog-specific. Consider
    the following scenario:
    1) We click a category in our Product Catalog, such as Electronics
    2) A list of our electronic devices are presented via the "Category" display page
    3) If we click on a specific item, a different URL is returned internally vs externally. We only get the friendly managed navigation URL when browsing via the Default zone. And of course totally different pages load based on which URL you get.
    Internal (when browsing via Default zone):
    http://InternalURL/catalog/PRODUCT-CATEGORY/PRODUCT-NAME
    External (when browsing via Internet zone):
    http://ExternalURL.domain.com/catalog/Lists/Products/DispForm.aspx?ID=1
    We have reviewed the display template, and the "Path" managed property is simply being used to render the link. Furthermore, we have configured the Content Search web part's "Property Mappings" to show the "Path" MP, and it
    displays the same (wrong) result externally.
    This tells us that the Path MP is not correctly rendering "Friendly URLs" when using managed navigation.
    Any help/ideas?
    Our environment:
    SharePoint Version: 15.0.4667.1000
    Default Zone: http://InternalURL
    Internet Zone: http://ExternalURL.domain.com
    We are NOT using host named site collections
    We ARE crawling the Default zone URL in our content source
    Thanks,
    Tommy

    Hi,
    We have now also observed the same issue with a Managed Property of type “Hyperlink/Picture”. The picture returns the wrong URL externally.
    This post describes the same issue, however the poster found that setting UseAAMMapping=True doesn’t work in 2013:
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/104806/set-the-useaammapping-property-of-a-managedproperty-object-map-an-url-of-a-h
    We checked, and our Picture MP had UseAAMMapping=False. We set it to True, did a full crawl, and see no change in behavior. Path already had UseAAMMapping=True.

  • Weird problems with recovery partition

    Hi. I just got a new X1 Carbon a few days ago. When trying to install Ubuntu, I messed up the bootmgr. At that point I still had the option F11 for recovery on startup, but choosing it did not give any results and after a restart, the option was gone. When researching the problem, I found this thread:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technolog​ies/Need-help-with-recovery-partition-create-recov​...
    Since my recovery partition Q was untouched, the steps described in the thread allowed me to restore partitions S and C. So far so good, but now the problems start.
    First, the letters of the partitions get messed up after every reboot. I assign Windows7_OS the letter C, SYSTEM_DRV gets S, and Lenovo_Recovery gets Q. Diskpart then lists the drives with correct letters. But after a reboot, they're back to D,C,E, respectively.
    Then, when I boot the Windows recovery disk from a usb stick, it correctly recognizes that Windows is installed on drive D. It suggests that there are startup problems, which I tell it to fix. After the next reboot, it does not warn me about startup problems. When I then go to command prompt and enter
    bootrec.exe /fixmbr
    bootrec.exe /fixboot
    then the Windows recovery disk commits suicide. It seems to attempt to fix its own bootmgr. At the moment, both usb stick and hard disk run with grub (Windows recovery on a multiboot installed by YUMI). After I run the commands above, the hard disk still runs with grub, but the usb stick now has bootmgr and fails to boot. I have tried this several times, each time recreating the Windows recovery disk with YUMI, and every time the same result.
    F11 option is of course still gone. At this point I'm out of my wits. Any suggestions are welcome.
    Solved!

    In the end I formatted and made a clean install. F11 Option is gone. Recovery partition is still untouched, but I don't think it will be used again. Followed this advice to install a fresh Windows 7 using a usb stick:

    Since I did not have access to Windows with administrator rights, I had to use Ubuntu to create the bootable Windows stick:

    The WiFi driver was not included in Windows, so I had to download that in another system, and install manually. From there I could then go online in Windows to download the remaining drivers from Lenovo (after the clean install there's a long list of unrecognized devices).
    Since the laptop comes with 4 primary partitions preinstalled I had to merge the SYSTEM_DRV and the Windows7_OS partition in order to create an additional partition for Ubuntu. Then I installed Ubuntu and took control of the startup behavior using EasyBCD.

  • Problems with Transport Management System

    Hi All,
    i seem to be having some issues with my Transport Management System, we have a two system landscape DEV & PRD, the operating system is windows 2003 server. i am trying to access the usr/sap/trans on the transport host (DEV) from the PRD system, i have put patches on the DEV server, but i can't access these patches from the PRD server. I have also tried to release a test transport, but the queues are not being updated. the systems are in the same Domain and the same transport group. on the PRD server i have specified the following value for the DIR_TRANS =
    DEVSERVER\sapmnt\trans. i have checked the files and they are shared, what could be the cause of this?

    Can you please check the access of global TRANS directory from your PRD server. Login to your PRD server, goto transaction STMS --> Overview --> Systems. Select your developement system and goto SAP System --> Check --> Transport Directory. If it can access the global directory the tick marks will come otherwise there is some problem with the directory access.
