R705-P35 - Create Recovery Problem

I bought a 16bg flash drive to create the recovery files for my R705-P35 laptop, but then ran into a problem.
1. After inserting the flash drive, and clicking "CREATE," I got the following message:
Format failed! (Note I had previously formatted the flash drive)
(Error Code: 040E2D-00-00000000)
... then ...
An Unexpected Error Occurred.
(Error Code: 040EAE-57-00000000)
... then the following message appeared in the recovery file creator window ...
"The creating process for all media has been cancelled." (my emphasis)
Any ideas or suggestions?

Portege R705-P35
I had previously formatted the flash drive
I'm only guessing here.
If you formatted it for the NTFS file system, try formatting it for FAT32.

Problem creating Recovery Discs with HP Probook 4530s Notebook PC.

I have a HP ProBook 4530s Notebook computer my daughter gave me. It is 5 months out of warranty. I had to recover it using Recovery Manager and the recovery partition. The OS is W7 Home Premium 64 bit.
An HP support document says that I can create Windows 7 recovery discs using DVD-R media. It says to click Start, then All Programs, then Recovery Manager.
The problem is there is no Recovery Manager in All Programs. I want to create recovery discs instead of relying on the recovery partition.
I called HP and they had no explanation. I asked them if the instructions were wrong or were they right but for some reason Recovery Manager was missing from All Programs. All they could tell me is to recover it using the recovery partition by restarting the computer and then pushing F11 for the Recovery Manager. That works to recover the computer but NOT to create recovery discs.
Is there any way to create Recovery discs?

Hi
Not without the recovery manager, which is not included on every HP business notebook.
My HP Elitebook 6930p came with a recovery partition but no recovery disks, recovery manager program to make recovery disks.
And it cannot be downloaded.
If you live in the USA, call HP at this number, 1-800-334-5144 and order a set of recovery disks.
You will need to provide the model number and serial number to the customer support rep.
Since the notebook is out of warranty, there will be a charge of $10 for the set of recovery disks.

Troubleshooting System Recovery Problems

A System Recovery is a useful tool to return your Windows 8 tablet back to factory defaults. However, what do you do when the System Recovery isn't working!?
A full System Recovery can be a lengthy process as there is a lot of data being transferred. Patience is the key, as a full Recovery can take two to four hours to complete.
For more information check out HP's Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems for Windows 8. This document will help you get your Windows 8 tablet back up and running.
TIP: If you are planning on using the System Recovery make sure that you do not change or delete the HP Recovery Partition as that will make all but impossible to Restore your tablet using the HP Recovery Manager.

USB Recovery problem

I received my USB Recovery device. I followed directions of turning off computer, inserting USB, Hit escape, then I get the startup Menu. When I hit F9 as instructed, I get a Blue Recovery screen that says
Your PC needs to be repaired
The boot configuration data is missing some required information
File:\BCD
Error code: 0xc0000034
I can not get past this point. Any help please!!

Hi McCarterRN.
Did you order a USB recovery stick from HP?
Are you testing the USB recovery device or is your PC unbootable?
If your PC is functioning correctly you can, for additional peace of mind, create DVD or USB recovery media by using HP's Recovery Manager. I cannot direct you to instructions on creating recovery media as I do not know your product number and factory installed operating system (OS). If you have upgraded your OS this will present additional obstacles.
Please provide the factory and current operating system you are using. Please provide your HP product number.
HP product number instructions can be found here.

How to create recovery disk on HP envy dv6 7258nr notebook pc - window 8

I m trying to create recovery disk from recovery drive which is created by hp while purchasing the laptop, while taking back up from recovery manager, Recovery Manager says (Recovery Partition has been removed - Recovery Media creation option is no longer available) , but as per my knowledge i did not took back up of recovery drive. So what should i do to take back up of my recovery drive to **bleep**.

Based on what you have stated, it appears that you or someone else with access to your notebook deleted the recovery partition. Without the recovery partition on the hard disk you can't make recovery media.
Your best option at this point would be to purchase a recovery disk set from HP or an HP Partner.

Question about swapping Hard-Drives/Creating Recovery Discs

I have a laptop, Toshiba Satellite C655-S5082, with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit OEM Operating System already installed on it so it did NOT come with an Installation or Recovery disc.
My problem here is two-fold... First I would like to change the hardware on the PC by changing Hard-Drives from the one that came with the laptop to a large capacity one however since the laptop came with the Operating System already installed onto it I can not install it onto the new Hard-Drive (which for all further purposed we will call Hard-Drive B) now I thought that I could create the recovery discs using Toshiba's Recovery Media Center to create the 4 DVDs however I do not even know if this will help at all since Hard-Drive B does not have a recovery partition on it.
This however is where my second problem comes into play, when I try to create the recovery discs using the Recovery Media Center I insert the DVD and begin the burning process, however about 75% of the way through the first disc the program slows down and a window pops up asking me if I would like to open the disc with Windows Explorer as if it has just recognized the disc again, I exit out of this and it comes up a few minutes later with an error code of 020150-20-0000000 and a message stating it can not read a file located within the ZZImages directory and then crashes, freezes and I have to end the process via the Task Manager then eject the disc via Windows Explorer 'My Computer' link.
As you can see my problem is two fold so my questions to the Toshiba Support Team/Administration are...
1. If I insert the new HDD into the laptop and begin using the recovery discs created via the Recovery Media Center will it be able to install the OS to that HDD and allow the OEM Product Key to be used to verify the OS?
2. If I can do the above process how do I fix the Recovery Media Center application from crashing and effectively ruining my DVD's, so that I may create the proper recovery dics?
3. If I can't do the above process due to the Recovery Partitions not being located on that new Hard Drive is there a way to copy and or transfer that Recovery Partition to the new Hard Drive so that the recovery discs do work?
4. If neither of the above processes work will Toshiba be willing to send me a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit OEM Installation disc via the mail or the .iso/.img file of the disc via e-mail so that I may burn them to a disc myself and install the OS onto the new Hard Drive?
I do have the appropriate Product ID/Product Key for the OEM OS as well as the Serial Number of the specific laptop itself. Please get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you!

Satellite C655-S5082
create the recovery discs ... comes up a few minutes later with an error code
This sometimes occurs because of the media. Try using a disc from a different source.
Follow the instructions in the section Creating recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 68 of the User's Guide.
Satellite C640/C650 Series User’s Guide
I do not even know if this will help at all since Hard-Drive B does not have a recovery partition on it
It doesn't make any difference what's on hard drive B. All of it will be replaced.
For this, see the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 71 of the User's Guide. You want to recover to "out-of-box state."
After you have restored to the new hard disk, it will contain everything that the original had, including even all the recovery partitions. So you will even be able to burn recovery discs again from the new hard drive.
..the OEM Product Key
The version of Windows which is restored (not installed) to the new hard drive is pre-activated. You won't need to fool around with the product key.
..will Toshiba be willing to send me a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit OEM Installation disc
If all else fails, you can always order recovery discs from Toshiba directly.
Order Toshiba Recovery Media

Toshiba L675 Recovery Problem

I have a Toshiba L675-S7048 and have tried restoring the unit to "Out of Box" state. When I received the laptop about 1 year ago, I immediately created recovery dvds. I used those Dvds two times and the recovery process does not seem to complete itself. It appears I do not receive the Windows 7 Setup screen where I enter my name, time zone, etc. I do receive a syspro box that when I click on it, it comes as an error. So I have recently tried holding down the 0 key and recovering the unit using the partition recovery system. Same thing. I contacted Toshiba and the first person wanted to charge me $50. I spoke with someone else who didn't seem to know what they were doing and told me to unplug the battery and do a recover again, so I am doing that. Something tells me I am going to get the same thing. I think it seems that the original recovery parition that was put on this laptop was defective, and of course, Toshiba wants to charge me $29.95 to have a new recovery dvd mailed to me. It seems very unfair because the problem was put on this laptop from the factory and therefore you would think, Toshiba would send me a new recovery dvd because they realized they messed up. Just wanted to see if anyone else was having the same problems and if so, did you find anything that fixed the issue. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have some help if you might need it. First of all,Tech Support does not exist. Any time you give them a call, you will get someone that has no clue about Computers.So, when it comes time to buy extended sevice, don't buy it.
If you have AOL as an ISP, they will fix your computer free when you subscribe to thier $17.50 package. You only have to register your laptop with them and if you ever have a problem, contact them.
Also if you have Direct TV sattelite service, they also have a repair service for any electronics that you own.
As for recovery of your laptop, do a restart and when the screen goes black,hold the number 0 down, and be sure that all things pluged into you laptop are un-pluged. It will prompt you to full out of box recovery.
I hope that I have answered some of your questions that you have asked. I've been a comp tech for many years and I build full systems and do company programing. I'm on this forum often, when I see a problem, I will try to help.

Why only once for create recovery media???

When I created recovery discs for my laptop using HP Recovery Manager, I got the message:
You can only create recovery media once for your system. So ensure that you keep it in a safe place
why only once?? what is the problem with creating the same discs again?
what is the difference when creating the recovery discs with the Backup and Restore utils in Windows 7? is it also once only? what is the difference between discs created with Windows 7 versus HP Recovery Manager?

I believe it is due to MS license agreement that only 1 set is allowed. You can of course use a CD/DVD burning program to copy the set you made.
The Recovery set you burn restores the laptop back to factory shipped state. Recovery made with Win 7 utility is an image of the hdd that includes added programs, data ,photos,etc.You also need to burn the System repair disc to use with the backup. You can use it as often as you like.

Satellite C70-A-13D: Cannot create recovery media - error 02016e-3c-0000000

Hi
I am trying to create a recovery flash drive on my new laptop satellite c70-a-13d windows 8 operating system and keep getting the following message
differences were found between the following files z\recovery\install20.swm target path e:\\zzimages\zzimages\install20.swm (error code 02016e_3c_0000000
and the recovery drive creation will not complete any ideas what is wrong ive tried doing it a few times --the flash drive is a toshiba transmemory 16gb uhybs-o16gh
Any help would be appreciated,
i am loathe to buy discs just to have the same problem with them too!

Try please to create recovery DVD. Few empty discs are not expensive. If the same problem happen again I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and explain the situation. It is not your fault and maybe you will get new recovery disc for free.
Just dont delete anything on the HDD.

Cannot create recovery media on T61

Hi, two days ago I got my Lenovo Thinkpad T61 with Vista Business. I decided to downgrade to Win XP, so I found out, that I need to create a recovery media. I looked to Start > Programs > Thinkvantage, but there was no such option as create recovery media. So I was googling and I figured out that I didn't have installed Rescue and Recovery software. I downloaded (English) Rescue and Recovery 4.21 for Windows Vista from Lenovo webpage and installed it. Then I went again to Start > Programs > Thinkvantage and there was the option Create Recovery media. I clicked there, but there was only option to create Rescue media. Here is the screenshot :
http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/4570/97770442.jpg
Also I was trying to find if I have that hidden partition. In windows I found some 513MB partition, but there was 100% free space.
http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4834/20885840.jpg
In linux I found only one partition, where is installed windows. Is there any way that I don't have this hidden partition, so I cannot create recovery media, or where is the problem? Thanks in advance.

If it is the official Lenovo downgrade discs, it is actually a XP pro recovery media, so you don't need the Vista OS to work. It will create its own recovery partition on your hdd. But once you done it, there is no way of going back to VIsta, unless you image the hdd using a third party software like Acronis TrueImage (need to be purchased) or Easeus Disk Copy (free).

"Recovery partition not found" when trying to creat recovery discs.

I received the following error message when trying to create recovery discs for the first time "recovery partition not found" HP G61 401SA Notebook and it is a couple of years old and has windows 7 as th OS.
I specifically purchased DVD-R discs for the disc creation, which was advised from HP site was the only disc suitable.
Am I doing something incorrect or is there an issue?
Is this why I am unable to also create a back up - are the two things related?

I did not know you are volunteer helpers - thanks goodness for people like you as trying to contact HP support for help was impossible and seemed like I kept going around in circles. No worries. We are here to help.
One more thing, could you advise on how much space the recovery might be approximately - I will need to make sure a USB has enough memory available. Take another look at the disk management window. The partition sizes are visible in the descriptions. My HP loaner has a large recovery partition at >20GB. That mean I had to use a 32GB usb flash drive Most others are smaller and a 16GB usb flash drive will suffice.
