Recieved error messages while performing recovery to factory state from the hard drive

HP Touchsmart tx2-1165ea, product no:NM515EA,microsoft vista SP1 operating system.
I keep recieving error messages during  recovery to factory state from hard drive and  perfoming a recovery from my recovery disc hangs on disc2. Therefore I am unable to update vista sp1 to vista sp2 the reson is: error SMI primitive installer failed (ox8007371c).
Reason for recovery ? performed a clean upgrade to windows 7(as rcommended) but I dont like that operating system
Request: kindly rectify my factory shipped recovery partion errors.

Thank you for the clarification.
Typically, service packs have some requirements before they are listed in Windows update. It's really the build ID that determines what updates are listed through Windows Updates. Various Windows Updates will change the build ID and once that prerequisite is reached, service should be listed. I know that service pack 2 does not show in Windows Update until several updates and restarts later on my Vista SP1 system at home.
Have you tried running Windows Update multiple times making sure to install the important updates or did you go straight to trying to manually install the service pack?
1. recovery disc is on the hard drive shipped in the computer from the factory.
I may be reading too much into this, but does this mean the recovery was performed by pressing F11 during boot or by using disks created using the hard drive's recovery partition prior to upgrading to it to Windows 7?
Also, how many times did you attempt the recovery from scratch? Many users have stated simply doing the recovery again took care of the issue and this seemed to be independent of manufacturer.
You can try the registry edit listed here, but registry edits are a little risky and do so at your own risk.  However, try the first solution in the registry edit post.

  • T43: Recovery Discs are corrupt and Rescue and Recovery won't restore from the Hard Drive?

    I recently created Recovery Discs in Windows XP, but when I insert Disc 2, it always says that it is the incorrect disc so I cannot continue the factory restore.
    Now I'm trying to restore by booting into the Rescue and Recovery on my hard drive, but it cannot find the hidden factory partition on the hd. It also now says that the restore had a "convertion" error when it wouldn't recognize disc 2 and will not let me try to look at my hard drive to restore anymore. If I use the RR boot disc, it will let me try to restore, but it finds nothing restorable on the HD.
    I did look at the hard drive and see 2 partitions with one being a IBM_SERVICE partition with 3.9GB total size and 2.9GB free space.
    Please help, thanks.

    Hi,
    maybe somebody here could help me. i've totly lost the original partition of IBM on my T41 thinkpad. If somebody could advise me how do i get it back, i would appreciate it very much.
    Thanks,

    The error was coming fro OAM which is the authentication system for BeehiveOnline. I suspect but cannot confirm that you have a cookie in the browser that has a different identity from the one you need - maybe you have logged into another OAM OIDin another system.
    If you clear cache in your browser or use a different one I think the problem will go away. If you are unsure how to clear cookies you could go to one of the websites like otn.oracle.com and log out of your account - that will flush out the authentication cookies.

    Hi Frank,
    Thanks.
    My HD is a "normal" HD, so I guess it's HFS+. (According to Disk Utility it is Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    The NAS is WD MyBook Live Duo. I just plugged into my Time Machine.
    I am relocating using Aperture "relocate originals for project" under the File tab.
    Ahh, thanks for the answer to question 1.
    Yes, I am trying to relocate them, but tried different things to find the problem.
    And the problem seems to be that when an image gets an extra attribute (when it's downloaded from the internet, when it is comes from a mail message) then Aperture seems not to be able to move the file.
    I.e. Aperture presumeably asks the Finder or kernel to perform this task, and this then fails because of the extra attirbutes that were set.
    I now found a way of manually removing the extra attributes, but that is a pain.
    Think of this normal workflow:
    - someone sends me an email containing images
    - I move the images to my Desktop
    - I then import the images into Aperture
    - I then decide to relocate my images for that project to my NAS
    Then is when this problem occurs.
    So I just tried to relocate to another place on my HD.
    That works fine.
    I looked again at the error message.
    And it says "could not set attributes com.apple.metadata:kMDItemDownloadedDate on destination file descriptor" .
    So, yes, it seems like it has to do with the NAS not supporting setting the extra attributes.
    And as long as there are no extra attributes on an image, there is no problem.
    (Not completely true, but I have another thread about that)
    Thanks Frank, I have to digest this a bit.

    I've gotten the error when trying to save a QT movie as source or as movie. To get the movie to be saved on disk, I reduce the number of characters in the filename (as if we're stuck using the old MS-DOS with "extended" filenames), and then try again. Shortening the filename usually works.
    And if you look at the folder you tried to save the earlier files to, you'll see the filename you originally chose, with a file size of zero KB. Just delete those empty files. (I also superstitiously remove all spaces and punctuation marks in the filename, à la DOS, but have no idea if doing so makes any difference at all.)
    The latest version of QuickTime Pro (7.1.5) still generates this error message when I try to save in QT (e.g., the teasers for "This American Life" on Showtime). My guess is that shortening the filename (one letter at a time, if you're scientifically bent) will get you to a filename that QT will be able to handle.

  • My MacBook Pro 13 inch makes a clicking noise from the hard drive and can not start up in safe mode and normal. I then ran disk utility in recovery mode and disk utility shows no problems with the hard drive. What is the problem?

    Please help me, I have a mid 2010 Mac book pro with a toshiba mk3266gsxf harddrive. It started making a clicking noise and then my computer crashed. I proceeded to boot in safe mode, but it doesn't work. When I ran disk utility in recovery mode, it showed no problem with my disk. Does any one know what the problem is?

    Sounds like a mechanical problem with the drive and it ruined the sectors where the Macintosh HD partition (and OS X, and files and programs) reside, but not your Recovery HD partition.
    If you held command option r while booting, that's Internet Recovery and it's loaded via the Internet, not via the Recovery HD partition on the boot drive, so that could mean the drive is dead mechanically or there is another issue.
    In either case the drive will likely have to be replaced, it's a matter of what occured to where and the drive state if you can recover data or not. If you made recent backups then your fine.
    My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

  • Upon installation of Shackwave Flash update, recieved error message "failed to initialize". Redownloading installer from mozzilla leads to same result.

    Firefox prompts update for shockwave flash. Downloaded installer but repeatedly fails at 50%, reads "failed to initialize." Redownloading the installer leads to the same result.

  • Errors and slow performance copying lots of files between large hard drives

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I have VERY slow file transfer speed with external eSATA drives. While trying to upgrade from a 1.5TB drive to a new 2TB drive, the copy took almost 24 hours and then failed on a large Fusion virtual OS file.
    So I removed my eSATA card from my Mac Pro and connected the drives via FireWire 800. Same issue. I have the 10.6.1 update and reset the PRAM with no improvement.
    Tried doing the copy with SuperDuper, and I have the same speed issue, but checking their log I see some of the files that Finder tried to copy, SuperDuper found another way to copy. Others it fails on. Here's a log of one of the files it could copy (but Finder couldn't):

    There is indeed plenty of space left on the device... over 1.5TB in fact.
    Not sure what is going on here. I have 4GB of RAM, and heard Snow Leopard needs twice as much as Leopard. Am I running out of RAM due to the large amount of files? Or is it some incompatibility with large drives and Snow Leopard? I did not have these problems with Leopard, and I was using these same drives.

    I, too, am experiencing extremely long copy times (17 hours on 5GB) when copying numerous (200+) files from an external HD via FW 400. The same happens when I try to copy files using FW 800.
    Is there anything I can do to reduce the copying times?

  • Having trouble with error message in itunes every since I had a new hard drive installed. Write access are not enough or permissions aren't allowed.  I have changed all of these in the corresponding folders, restarted and nothing works.  I need help bad??

    Got a new hard drive installed and since then, I cannot get purchased song into my itunes.  It is telling me that my write access or permission are wrong.  I have changed all and nothing works.  HELP!!!!!!

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.
