Recovery Disc on New Harddrive not working

I have a HP MS213 all in one desktop. The original hard drive went bad so I went and got aother hardrive that is the same size. I ordered the recovery disk from HP. I load all the recovery disc and after disc 3 it says to remove all recovery disc and it will now load the software and can take up to 3 hours. I click next then after the splash screen it says Operating System not found.
Is there anything in the bios I need to change?

Hello Mike4172, If the HP Recovery Restore Disk set appears to have installed correctly, this should have no effect on the BIOS settings.
You may want to enter the BIOS and make sure the first boot device is the CD\DVD group and the hard drive is recognized and set as the second boot device.
It is possible the original hard drive was not faulty to start with and the system may have experienced another fault.

Recovery Discs for P505-S8980 not working

I just replaced the HDD after the original one failed. The Toshiba recovery disks contain a set of five disks that I made with the Recovery Disc Creator. The first three are marked as "Recovery DVD Disc 1, 2 and 3" . The fourth is marked "Windows Recovery Environment (64 bit)" and the fifth is marked as "TOSHIBA Applications and Drivers DVD 1/1"
The first three discs load and then the computer starts setting up Windows. The computer won't prompt me to enter the last two discs and because of this my drivers are all showing that they have "no digital signature" or something similar.
How do I get the last two Recovery Discs to load

Satellite P505-S8980
Forget the last two discs. They are for something different.
my drivers are all showing that they have "no digital signature" or something similar.
And perhaps you have difficulty with Windows Updates? This smells like a problem we've seen before.
See if this fixes it.
An update that improves the compatibility of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with AdvancedForm....
If that doesn't work, try installing an updated Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.

Would you rather upgrade to windows 8, BlackBerry or Android phones? Do you honestly think those don't have problems?
You waited a lot and chose to buy an early production model. Mistakes happen all the time a factory retools and workers relearn new skills necessary to keep US happy.
Exercise your rights.... Send it back for a new one.
In any case, I feel your frustration. Btw, I love Apple but use a Blackberry

Can I restore my system from install discs when DVD is not working?

There is a disc jammed in the drive and when I try to do an install in Target Firewire mode using a G5 Tower I get an error saying the software cannot be installed on this machine, before I can even select the iMac's drive. I'm using the grey software install discs that came with the iMac.
Is my only option to open up the iMac and get the jammed disc out?
Thanks

Problem solved - I posted on the general Tiger Discussions as well.

My SVD132190X has no recovery partition. Recovery discs from Sony may not have worked. (Error 393)

Hi there, my computer (SVD132190X) has no recovery partition due to the beta release of windows 10. Since I wanted it back, I got the recovery discs with the words SVD1322xPX. When I use it though, I get an error saying 393. I'm certain that I didn't set up raid and didn't add a hard drive. Any help?(Sidenote: From what I heard, if I do need another hard drive, then where can I get a speaker cover and its hard drive?)

Hi ReSummit,
Welcome to Sony Community!
The probable cause for code 393 is the RAID configuration. You mentioned you didn't modify or change this right? Please follow the steps here and change the RAID configuration back to RAID 0 and then try recovery: How to use the RAID Configuration Wizard with the Recovery Media Kit.
If still the same, then probably you're having a hardware issue or corrupted recovery discs. You may visit https://sony.encompass.com/ to purchase parts and accessories, and even recovery discs for your unit.
Hope these helps.
Thanks,
Vincent

Need Win 7 recovery discs for new hard drive

I am not sure which Windows 7 Operating system my laptop had, but I need the recovery discs to put Windows 7 back on my HP dv6-6167cl notebook.
My original issue was that my notebook was unable to restore or anything on its own. After calling HP support and performing a guided diagnostics test, it was determined that my hard drive was bad. I purchased a new hard drive and replaced it, but need to get Windows 7 back on it.
Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi,
Your notebook originally shipped with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit - you can order a replacement set of Recovery Media from the link on your Product Page below.

Help! New HD not working!

My harddrive in my iBook G4 died a few months ago, and I finally was able to get a new, larger hard drive. I replaced it and when I tried to install Tiger on it, the HD didn't come up as a disk to install on...in fact, nothing did? Is there something that I did wrong? I followed the instructions that I found on ifixit.com, but I don't understand why it's not working... Please help me.
Also, in the process of taking my iBook apart and putting it back together I had to disable the trackpad but couldn't figure out how to enable it again. What do I have to do?

Do I have to format the new HD?
Yes.
Startup from the disc and select Disk Utility from the menu (in the Installer menu if you have Panther). Click on the Erase tab, highlight the drive on the left, select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the file type from the drop down menu and click the Erase button. Once it's done launch the Installer and install the system and applications.

Satellite Pro M40 hard drive failure - Recovery disc on new drive?

Hi
My Satellite Pro M40 hard disk has died and I want to install a new drive. Unfortunately my old drive is 60Gig and the Toshiba parts website has only 40 Gig or 80 Gig drives.
Will I encounter any problems with the recovery disc if the hard drive is not exactly the same?
Your advice would be appreciated.
C

No, there shouldnt be any problem with the Toshiba recovery CD.
On the recovery CD you will find a Windows OS, Toshiba drivers and utilities and additional software.
These whole applications are packed in image files.
You should only be sure that the HDD is compatible with your notebook and will be recognized in the BIOS.
Then just simply boot from the recovery CD and the installation should start.

New X301 Not Working

My X301 laptop arrived yesterday. Bluetooth, internet are not working.I thought it could be because I installed McAfee antivirus so I uninstalled it and still no luck. I tried system restore but no luck, The Thinkpad Advantage button does not take me to the screen to return the system to factory setting. PC Doctor is either not working or is not includied in the system but according to the manual, it should be installed. Recovery and restore to factory default are not working. I tried to get warranty help but I was informed by three techs that my warranty is not in the system. One tech told me someone would call me back within 30 minutes to activate my warranty. After waiting and hour and a half, I called back and was informed that the warranty department was not open on the weekend. So basically, I have a new laptop that does not work and no one is available to help.
After experiencing this frustration, I asked the tech for a return label because I am not keeping this very expensive laptop that does not work. She gave me a number but informed me they were also closed on the weekend. You can rest assured that the first thing Monday morning, I am returning this laptop.

Had a similar experience with a brand new X301 few days back...
Ran from support to sales to sales support ...but they remain as ever ...no hope and plenty of passing the buck ..very unprofessional
Sorry i was not helpful ....but shocking for a brand new laptop ..a premium one ..they do not enclose a detaield packing list whe delivery for a CTO piece and their sales support team are hopelessly disconnected

HT201263 iTunes Recovery for iPhone 4s did not work

What do I do if I used iTunes to restore the device, waited an hour, and it still didn't work?
iPhone 4s
Not jailbroken
Paraphrased error message... "there was an error when restoring device, unable to restore"
Apple icon still blinking intermittently
Here's what I've done prior to subjecting to a recovery...
1) Plugged in iPhone with iTunes open, got the recovery pop-up
2) Attempted multiple times to avert the recovery by holding menu button and power button >10secs
3) When the apple icon reappeared continued holding the menu button, releasing the power button, until the itune logo and usb cable showed
4) released menu button. reapplied hard reboot, apple icon reappeared and began blinking
5) Repeated too many times
6) iTunes restore
7) Typed this email
Any help is appreciative!

Yes, I believe the steps did Restore my device as new. I followed the steps given to me in How to Restore software in my device..still I believe the Unlocking did not work because I'm not able to use other SIM card

I recently tried to burn some photos to a disc. It did not work, but then I ended up with a .fpbf folder on my desktop. Can't trash it, and when trying to burn again, I get this "... can't be burned because the original items can't be found". Help???

I recently tried to burn some photos on a CD. For some reason, It did not work. Now I have a .fpbf folder on my desktop. I can't seem to get rid of it. I tried dragging it to the trash, but then I get a box asking my to type my password it, so Finder can make the changes. Doing so, does nothing at all. And when I try to burn another CD from the same .fpbf file, I get a the following message: "There are 35 items that can’t be burned because the original items can’t be found. Skip the items and continue burning?". When I skip and continue burning, nothing shows up on the CD. In the meantime, the .fpbf folder is still in my desktop. I tried changing the aliases on each pic, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas of how I can remove this folder from my desktop?
Thank you.

Beavis2084,
Thank you for your detailed explanation but something is seriously wrong with my computer. Although the method you have described is very similar to the one I tried in step 2 from my second post, I have since "done things" which may have complicated matters—or suggests that my computer has a more serious problem.
Here's what I did:
1). Installed Onyx and discovered that I had a .plist file (com.apple.iphotomosaic.plist) that was causing a Syntax error: "Conversion of data failed. The file is not UTF-8, or in the encoding specified in XML header, if XML." After doing some research online, I was given the understanding that downloading the iLife update 9.0.3 (I installed the more recent version, 9.0.4) would solve this problem because it would also fix some system issues. So, I downloaded it...and when it didn't solve the problem, I decided to just deleted that .plist file.
2). I read your knew post and decided to follow your directions, even though I realized they were basically the same steps I followed in the 2nd method I mentioned earlier. I say "basically" because, for some reason, after inserting a blank disc, my computer does not open the disc in the Finder. Instead, it places the blank disc's image on the Desktop, even though the Finder's Preferences and the System's Preferences are set to have it open in the Finder—nothing should be on my Desktop! (Note: When transferring the items (all folders) I want to burn to the blank disc, I did not use the Option-Click-Drag method as before, I used the Click-Drag method, which created the curved arrow in the lower left corner of each item.)
Now, for the result of "method 2," the method we basically have in common, the computer goes through the burn stage but, in the verify stage, tells me that it is unable to verify the disk, suggests that my DVD may be unreliable and that I should try another disc, and then tells me about some "fork" (?) error (-43).
I don't know what to do anymore...

Adobe Support: Please Read, New Flash Not Working

Adobe, please read this. My Flash player is not working and I would be happy to help you troubleshoot. I have a completely fresh install of Windows XP on a Dell Laptop and the new Flash Player is not working. I am in the tech field so I will understand most of your requests...Here is my situation.
The problem began just after Christmas when I returned home from holidays and tried to watch videos, which I do all the time for both work and pleasure. Videos would not play in a watchable manner...I could hear audio but video was completely choppy and unwatchable. I researched and researched and implemented many suggestions but to no avail. Thus, I COMPLETELY rebuilt my system from scratch. (I needed to do this anyway since it had been 2 years.)
After the rebuild, on a completely fresh install of XP on a Dell D410 laptop (that was playing all videos just fine a week ago), I installed Firefox, went to youtube which prompted me to install Flash, and then had the exact same problem that I had before the complete reinstall of everything. There are scarecely any variables here other than the Dell Laptop, a standard Windows XP SP2 build, Firefox and Flash.
I think I have narrowed this problem down to two things. One, the new version of Flash.
It's choppy on youtube AND it's choppy on megavideo, the other place where I watch a lot videos.
I then tried on IE, which also prompted for the new version of flash, and also had the same problem. Chrome--same result.
However, this problem cannot be a universal problem with Flash otherwise nobody would be able to watch any videos onlline.
This leads me to the second problem, which a complete hypothesis but it seems to be the only thing left: my Dell laptop.
I have noticed that some of the other folks with reported problems, who mention their system type, are also using Dell laptops. Mine is an older d410, but as I said, it was running every video just fine up until a week or so ago when all of the sites forced me to install the new version of Flash. Most Dell laptops use a common video driver set and this is what is leading me to this conclusion.
So, could this be a problem with the new Flash and Dell laptops (or systems that use a common video driver)? As a reference point, my "display adapter" says "Mobile Intel (R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family".
Viewing videos is part of my job (and entertainment) and I cannot do anything right now.
Someone out there...please hlep. Adobe, where are you? We are here providing you with all of the information that you need....

Thank you for this response. Apparently, Adobe does not provide support since this is a free product.
However, Adobe, I need your help.
In summary, I have a fresh build of Windows XP, SP2 on a Dell D410 and the Flash player does not work. This affects at least 50% of the sites I visit. Right now, I simply have the Flash Player uninstalled and can surf the net rapidly. Once I install it, I am back to a crawl and still cannot affectively watch any videos (they all have extreme video choppiness but the audio is fine).
I need your help, Adobe. Everything was working fine until 2 weeks ago. It is unfair of you to distribute a product like this, force everyone to use it, and have it not work for some of us.
So far, this free product has cost me hundreds of dollars as a good part of my job is reviewing videos.
Many have suggested that I buy a new computer to fix the problem.
Is this really necessary?
Adobe, I am a man in need...please help me...
(PS: I am not the only one. I have also entered my problem here http://www.google.pl/support/forum/p/youtube/thread?tid=6039f438d085295f&hl=en&fid=6039f43 8d085295f00047c7e3182b625 to no avail.
And I have done more research than you can imagine. Here are a number of sites where people are reporting problems with Flash:
Streaming videos are choppy all the sudden.... - CPUs - CPU-Components How do I resolve choppy/jerky video in Firefox? - YouTube Help Videos are choppy, Audio distorted. - YouTube Help DIYnot.com > Youtube stopped working "JavaScript turned off" youtube is not working - YouTube Help Flash sound stopped working. | Ask MetaFilter Anyone have problems with Youtube freezing? - Software - Non-Gaming - Discussion Forum | Eurogamer YouTube videos freeze after a second - Google Chrome Help My Comments on Video Problem Flash Player 10 memory leak!! Graphics - Customized computer manufacturer graphics driver is detected AfterDawn.com: Guides: How to play FLV files Adobe Forums: Adobe Support: Please Read, New Flash... Adobe Forums: Flash Stopped working
Obviously, I have still not found an answer to my problem. Please help me.
Thx,
Richard)
