ProBook 6550b Recovery DVD Set

I have just purchased a used ProBook 6550b, Product WD704ET#ABU from an e-Bay source.  The unit came without HDD, Battery, RAM or charger, all of which I have ordered.  The Microsoft COA label says that the original System was Windows 7 Pro OA 64 bit. 
I have a Desktop PC which is already running Win 7 Pro 32 bit and still have the 64 bit version DVD.  Can I use this to do a clean install on the new HDD when I get it, but use the COA Product Key when authorising the PC with Microsoft?
Since the Hardware will have changed from the original authorisation, (HDD and RAM increased in size), will I have to purchase a set of HP Recovery DVD's in order to restore the system? 
If the latter is the case, what do I order and where do I order it from?
Any help will be gratefully accepted.

Hi,
What is the insallation DVD, is it also a HP OEM version ? If not this may not work but as the HDD is a brand new one, you can always try, worse case you lost around 45mins of your time. More RAM and new HDD should be ok. You can order from the following link:

  • Recovery dvd from Lenovo

    How much does a recovery dvd from Lenovo cost and is it different from dvds made thru One Key Recovery? Alos, How do I reinstall windows on a laptop with RapidDrive? thanks

    Hi,
    Here is a partial answer to your questions, and it is based upon my experiences of about 2 years ago. 
    My R500 Thinkpad came with a 32 bit version of Windows 7 professional, and I wanted to upgrade to 64 bit, so I ordered the 64 bit recovery DVD's from Lenovo and they charged me $50 at the time.
    The DVD's you create with Rescue and Recovery are not the same as the ones you get from Lenovo. They both will create a "factory image" but the content is different.
    When you create Rescue and Recovery DVD set, the first one created is a BOOT DISC. That first disc you create can be either be to a DVD or a CD. Either works equally well, although Lenovo hints that the first one should be a CD. I have always used a CD, and recovered systems with no problems.
    When you make a set of recovery media using Rescue and Recovery, you do not create an "Operating System CD", and this is normal. When you get a set of recovery CD's/DVD's from Lenovo, you will always get one that is labeled "Operating System CD".
    The different sets go through different recovery processes, and Rescue and Recovery needs to know which type of set you have, so it can perform the correct process.  It does this by asking the question "Do you have an operating system CD?" Based on the answer it performs one process or the other, and expects different contents on the CD's/DVD's that are presented to it. You cannot mix the DVD's up between the two processes. If you tell Rescue and Recovery that you have an operating system CD (i.e. provided by Lenovo) and present it with media created by you using the "Create Rescue Media" process, the recovery will fail.
    I hope this helps.
    Unfortunately, I have no experience with RapidDrive.

  • HP System Recovery DVD is not working

    I've downgraded my HP 15-e0001ed from W8 to W7. I removed EVERYTHING from Windows 8, including the recovery partition en I did not make a recovery disk/back up (or something else) to eventually restore my OS to W8. 
    During the use of W7, i noticed that the fan was blowing really loud. I checked the HP website, and i noticed that all the drivers weren't compatible with W7. I installed some of the drivers anyway, but the problem with the blowing fan seems still there now and then. I then downloaded the ISO file from this topic and this is an evalution version of W8, which can be used for 90 days. I still want to use my 'original' W8 version, so I ordered a System Recovery DVD set.
    When I insert the disk I can only open the content of the disk, but there is no autorun file or something like that. I then loaded the DVD's from the system recovery mode (when you press ESC during the start up of the laptop en you have the option to go to the BIOS). When the DVD then loads, I get the following error message: 
    This computer is not supported bij de System Recovery Media. You will not be able to continue to recover this system with these Media.
    Error: 0130-ABH-UUW.
    Anyone knows what to do to get the recovery disks to work?
    Thanks!

    Re: fan blowing loud all the time.. check in the BIOS in system configuration to ensure that the fan always on option is not enabled.
    Is the wireless led shown as being enabled? (white=enabled amber=disabled) It needs to be enabled
    You should be able to boot from disk one of the set. If that is not possible when you have selected the DVD as the first item in the boot list by using the F9 key then contact HP. The disk set may be faulty.

    Then I Press any key to boot from cd / DVD and see the HP logo. I am prompted with a Black installation to select english or french. I select English and select next. The computer runs through the following:
    - Reformatting the Windows partition of the harddrive
    - Copying files required to restore the harddrive
    - Restoring files to the hard drive.
    Then the DVD gets ejected and the laptop screen goes black and the laptop is not off.
    What is next?
    I have not touched it until I hear back from support here.

  • Unable to restore from DVD set - ThinkPad keeps rebooting to Rescue and Recovery screen

    Hello:
    Lenovo x140e laptop / 2.05 BIOS:
    (image link removed)
    I have used Lenovo Rescue / Recovery to make a full disk image backup to DVDs for installation of SSD drive.
    Attempting to boot from Rescue / Recovery DVD appears to load Windows files, start Windows then goes to this Lenovo R&R screen:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/f4h423vbk1rpfm0/2014-09-18%2008.53.21.jpg?dl=0
    No menus show up asking to restore anything, in about 5 seconds it shuts down and reboots again over and over.
    I did have BIOS 2.01 and upgraded it using Lenovo BIOS boot DVD upgrader, now is 2.05 and same result.
    Factory reset would be OK, but tI paid extra for Windows 7 pro "downgrade" (ironic, no?) that I would like to keep.  System restore disks that came with theunit are for Windows 8.1 .
    Help?

    FYI that error is known as a "kernel panic", typically software related but potentially hardware related.
    I recommend starting with a clean install (erase the hardware, and reinstall Mac OS X). Do not transfer/migrate any data yet. After you have created a new user account, test the computer to ensure the hardware seems responsive. If computer performance is positive, use Migration Assistant to began migrating your backups to your computer.

  • How to repartition my disk on ProBook 6550b

    Hi all,
    I've got a HP probook 6550b with 160GB hard disk. It has 4 partition on the hard disk:
    - System partition (~300MB)
    - Windows partition (~130GB) - C: drive
    - Backup partition (~15GB)
    - HP tools partition (~2G) - F: drive
    Now I need to create 2 new partition for my demands. All of them are primary partition, and I cant shrink the windows partition to create another.
    Who can tell me the purpose of these partition? And how to re-partition my disk to have new partition?
    Thanks for pay attention.

    Have you:
    1) Created HP recovery media? either DVD or USB
    2) installed UEFI?
    Are you aware that you will lose access to the HP Recovery manager by the F11 key if you change the partitions?
    There is a limit of four primary primary partitions on a hard disk. You can create logical partitions inside the primary partitions. I suggest you read a bit to gain knowlege of partitioning hard disks. You might find that  purchasing an external hard disk is more practical.
    System tools partition holds the UEFI BIOS update and diagnostics. If you delete this partition you will be losing the most tecnologically advanced means of updating BIOS available. You may or may not be able to recreate the partition.

  • How can I boot from my recovery dvd to reach the system recovery C: on a extern hard disc

    I think a have a virus in my notebook Pavilion 15 and want to restore my C partition with a system back up. I made this system back up a month ago and it is stored on a extern hard disc. I have also made a recovery dvd. How can I boot my notebook from my dvd to start the procedure? I have 2 partions on my notebook. The second partition contains My Documents.
    Thanks in advance.
    Tineke

    It is unlikely that the back-up of the system recovery, that you have stored on an external drive, will be useful in recovering your computer. Please see HP PCs - Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), for instructions on using the HP Recovery Disc set your created earlier. Typically, the disc set is 4 to 6 DVDs.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Can't figure out what is wrong with recovery DVDs

    Last year, right after turning my laptop ON, I've created 4 DVDs as such: http://i56.tinypic.com/6i79rn.jpg
    Recovery DVD Disk 1
    Recovery DVD Disk 2
    Recovery DVD Disk 3
    Windows Recovery Environment 64-bit
    My Laptop is Qosmio F60-14R, with Windows 7 Home Premium.
    Now all I want to do is format my laptop and re-install windows 7 Home premium using those 4 DVDs. However I can't figure out why I cannot re-install or get the laptop back to the factory state.
    This have wasted 8 hours straight of my time and frustrated me by great deal. Can you kindly tell me what I have to do? I am lost!

    Here is what I have done so far:
    I inserted 'Windows Recovery Environment (64-bit)' DVD and booted the laptop from it.
    First thing that loads up is a window with two options:
    - Toshiba Recovery Wizard
    - System Recovery Options
    Taking Toshiba Recovery Wizard as choice, clicking Next.
    It asks me: "Please set 1st Recovery Media and press Next to Continue.
    So, I insert Recovery DVD 1 and then click Next. However it ejects the disc drive (seems Recovery DVD 1 is not the correct Disk!).
    So I repeat the same process with Recovery DVD 2 and Recovery DVD 3 and again the Disk Drive ejects the Disks.... As a desperation attempt I even put the Windows Recovery Environment Disk inside but that as well get ejected.
    Okay, so the Toshiba Recovery Wizard is not the right choice 'it seems'.
    So, I restart the laptop and inserted 'Windows Recovery Environment (64-bit)' DVD and booted the laptop from it.
    First thing that loads up is a window with two options: (First choice failed, now trying second choice)
    - --Toshiba Recovery Wizard--
    - System Recovery Options
    So, choosing System Recovery Options this time and clicking Next. I Choose US as Keyboard, then click Next. A small window appears which gives me two further options:
    - Use Recovery tools that can help fix problems starting Windows. Select an Operating System to repair.
    - Restore your computer using a system image that you created earlier.
    So, I already tried the first choice and it takes me to another window with several recovery tools. One of the tools is System Image Recovery but when I click it, it gives a Warning messagebox that says:
    Windows cannot find a system image on this computer. etc.
    But when I insert every disk, still the warning messagebox shows up as if all the four recovery DVDs are irrelevant.
    So, it seems the first choice doesn't lead me anywhere. So, remains the second choice:
    - Restore your computer using a system image that you created earlier.
    Turns out it is exactly the same 'System Image Recovery' from first option mentioned few lines earlier. So, there you have it, checkmate.
    Please guide.

  • NO Lenovo Windows 8.1 Recovery DVD for CLEAN INSTALL! + unable to Install UEFI MODE

    Hi,
    I Just bought 25 Thinkpad T431s Laptops for my company (@ISRAEL)
    All of them came with windows 7SP1 Installed And Recovery is Windows 8 (not 8.1 even though 8.1 is out for a yr!)
    The Install process takes 3 Hours!!! Just for upgrading to windows 8.
    Then I need to upgrade to 8.1 - the process is about 3 hours more! Because I need to Register And create Microsoft account for each user then to verify the account.
    After that I need to Log with the account to the PC And then Download the update (3.5GB) And Install it.
    IS ANYONE AT LENOVO THINKS THAT ITS ACCEPTABLE?
    DO I WORK FOR LENOVO? DO I NEED TO SPEND 6 HOURS FOR UPGRADING EACH LAPTOP?
    Don't forget that after that I need to uninstall all the bloater from the PC. Like Symantec AV (Because Enterprise company's uses Enterprise Class AV, FW And other software. We uses Kaspersky Enterprise, ESET, And others...)
    AND ABOVE ALL.
    If I want to Install Original Windows 8.1 I can't!
    Because the OS Recovery DVD is not bootable And contain special recovery files with special extensions. Also, there is no PRODUCT CODE! Just "WINDOWS 8" sticker logo on the back of the notebook.
    SO I WANT TO KNOW WHERE AND HOW(!)
    I CAN GET A WINDOWS 8.1 ORIGINAL ISO IN ORDER TO INSTALL IT ON ALL MY PC's.
    I want to know why I can't Install Just the "OPERATING SYSTEM RECOVERY DISK" (A standard clean Install)
    == When I tried with my own Windows 8.1 Pro VL \ RETAIL ISO to Install it didn't pass activation==
    ==================== not even with the extracted key from the bios=====================
    FYI - WHEN I BUY DELL OR HP LAPTOPS I'M GETTING A WINDOWS 8.1 PRO X64 BOOTABLE DVD DISK in addition to the 2 DVD RECOVERY DISKS. (So I am able to Install windows Without all the that you And them put into the recovery disk set).
    Customer service in ISRAEL said that this is not possible! And that the only way is:
    1. Use the 3 DVD recovery disks to format And Install windows 8.0
    2. Register the user with a Microsoft account
    3. Log in to each PC with his own Microsoft account
    4. Download 8.1 update from Microsoft store
    3. Install the 3.5GB update.
    4. uninstall all the bloater.
    So can I please ask you to confirm the answer I got from LENOVO ISRAEL. If So, ill return the laptops And that will the last time ANY OF MY COMPANY'S WILL EVER BUY ANY NOTEBOOKS OR TABLETS FROM LENOVO!
    In addition, im trying to figure out how can I contact Lenovo main office to file a complaint against Lenovo Israel.
    CEO Ms. Sigal didn't do anything to try And solve the issue, the product manager Mr. Many talk with me on the phone And was very rood. At the end he hang up the phone in my face! After I proved him wrong in another issue (T440s T431s cannot be installed with UEFI Because External DVD drive does not support UEFI Install only Legacy. And there is a big different between Legacy And UEFI)
    Thank you.

    Hi ohad, welcome to the forums,
    I'm sorry to read about your experience. 
    I don't work for Lenovo but it would appear to me that something may have gone wrong at the sales / purchasing stage; to my knowledge the T431s is only available with Windows 7 preload, (with Win 8 recovery discs in some cases as you have), or with Windows 8 preload. A Win 8.1 preload doesn't appear to be available for the system, but I stand to be corrected on this.  If you required Windows 8.1, in my opinion the better option of the two, would have been a system with the Win 8 preinstall as this would only require updating to Win 8.1
    Unfortunately I also can't envisage Lenovo creating a factory image for the T431s because it must be pretty near end of life.
    You might find the following to be of interest;

  • Windows 7 Pro recovery DVD for T420 laptop?

    Can you get a recovery DVD from Lenovo for the T420 laptop.  I created the recovery media, and then had the OS remove the recovery partition after the creation of the discs. I just found that there is a problem with the disc and can't restore the system now.
    CAn I get a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit DVD from Lenovo if I provide a reciept, etc. so I can re-install the OS on the laptop??  EVen if I have to pay a small fee, that's fine.  I'd don't want have go buy another copy of Windows for this computer, which I've only had for about 2 months, and I frankly don't have the time to make a warranty claim (if I even can).

    Lenovo will sell you a recovery media set for the same OS that shipped on your laptop.  IIRC, it will cost around $50US.
    I've had a couple of cases where burned recovery media was defective and the laptop was still under warranty - and support sent media free.  I can't speak for them, but give support a call either way.

    One thing to try if you're willing to gamble $.50 worth of plastic:  if a burn is marginal (rather than just wrong) it can sometimes be read in another drive.  Put your bad CD/DVD in another machine and see if it's readable.  If it is, copy and try the copy in your ThinkPad.  It requires a bit-for-bit copy - not just copying the files.

  • TouchSmart tx2-1370us Recovery Disc Set Failure

    I am posting on behalf of my sister.  Here is her story:
    Her TouchSmart tx2-1370us notebook's screen broke a while back.  It was under warranty from where she bought it from so it was sent off to be repaired.  When it came back the screen was fixed but there was a note stating they had lost her Windows 7.  The computer loaded and ran perfectly fine but it had the 'this is not a genuine copy of windows' pop-up.  She claims she was unable to read the product key sticker under the computer good enough to get it to accept anything she entered.  When she called the store, they told her HP would be able to help recover it.  HP sold her recovery discs that were supposed to restore the computer.  It is a 3-disc set, 2 labeled System Recovery DVD Windows 7 Home Premium and 1 supplemental CD labeled Application & Driver Recovery CD.  The CDs were ran multiple times always coming up as unsuccessful after the first 2 CDs.  I won't get into her customer support experience but she claims she spoke on the phone with HP 6 times over the course of a week and nothing they had to say or offer helped.  Always unsuccessful recovery message.  She gave up, almost crying at this point, and I said I'd try.
    After a little searching I found a patch on HP's web site which would supposedly fix the recovery discs issue.  The patch was installed correctly, green checkmark and all, and all 3 CDs ran through successfully.  The computer rebooted and the HP Software Installation screen ran for a while before another restart then the usual recovery unsuccessful message.  I tried it plenty of times with the same result everytime.  I saved the log from the last go at it and will post it below.  It appears the BIOS states Vista as the OS but she bought the computer pre-loaded with Windows 7.  Could there be something in that fact causing an issue?
    Someone suggested to reset the BIOS to factory defaults but that didn't work either.
    When saving the log to USB I could see all the files, there's 3 drives listed SDV(C Local Disk(D & BOOT(X
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Lets take a chance it is for W7
    go here and download the correct version of W7 (home or pro, they don't have a starter edition), bit version 32 or 64, and language, it will be a very large iso file, once downloaded, burn it to a DVD+R blank disc as an Image, this can be done on a Windows 7 PC, by right clicking on the iso file and select "open with" > "windows disc image burner"
    http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-s​p1-iso-from-digital-river/
    This will make a regular windows 7 install disc you can use to get Windows installed, use the key to see if it will activate.
    Then you will have to download drivers for your particular model from the HP site and install.

  • How do i transfer system recovery dvd to a usb

    Recently my ultrabook broken down and now the start up is in a never ending loop. I brought a system recovery media from hp, I cleary stated my ultrabook doesn't have dvd slot and he said that's fine once you get the dvd call us up and we will help you.
    I received my dvd today and when I called up there suggestion was and I quote "copy and paste all the data from the dvd to a usb, don't you know how to transfer files".
    I was like that won't work can you put me trough to someone that has better understanding and he goes it will cost you 30 somthing pounds.
    Can someone that understands my problem help me out?
    How can I transfer a system recovery dvd to create a bootable system recovery usb. I have another pc.

    Do you have only 1 dvd or several? I have seen others attempt this with a multiple dvd set and fail miserably. With 1 dvd you might have a chance. Create an ISO from the dvd with something like ImgBurn or other cd/dvd burning tool that can create an ISO file from a disc.
    Once you have the ISO file use Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool  to create a usb Recovery. It was created for Windows7 but works on other ISO files.

  • How to boot with another Recovery DVD?

    (Sorry if i have Bad-English)
    Hi guys, i bought a 15" MacBook Pro (A1286, Mid-2010) and i'm want to make a clean installation of a Snow Leopard DVD (Note: I bought that computer Without the Original Recovery DVD's) with a Non-Factory Recovery DVD's...
    The problem is: When i'm trying to boot from the DVD, it Starts to read (and the Apple logo appears without the progress animation) and the DVD reader stops reading... Nothing else happens
    Please Help Me!

    Set the value of the the OpenBootProm (OBP) variable "boot-file" to "kadb" (or "kadb -v" if you prefer verbose kernel messages).
    Use either the eeprom(1M) command from the running solaris system,
    like this:
    <pre>
    % eeprom boot-file          (<- query current value of "boot-file")
    boot-file=kadb
    % eeprom boot-file=kadb          (<- define new value)
    </pre>
    You can also define this variable from the OBP monitor using the
    OBP command "setenv"
    Starting with the next reboot, the file "kadb" will be booted instead
    of the "kernel/unix". kadb will load "kernel/unix" automatically
    under debugger control...
