Recovery Discs for HP G60-445DX

Hello
I recently had to send to HP for repair (2X!) in August. When purchased, 9/09, laptop had Vista, received the free upgrade for WIndows 7. When received back from HP (2nd time) I reinstalled these discs.
I have found I am missing some things (HP help, webcam, etc) - I did find windows.old but I'm not that tech savvy to figure out what to do with it.
Basically, can I install the 3 recovery discs I purchased thru Geek Squad and just revert back to original Vista?
Thanks alot

Yes, if you use the recovery media, it will wipe the computer and reinstall the OS as it was when you first purchased it.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

Creating Recovery Discs for Win 7 - When Win7 Pro 64 is Preloaded from Win 8.1 Dowgrade Rights ?

Novice questions:
1. What is the proper procedure for:
Creating Recovery Discs for Win 7 Pro 64 - When Win 7 Pro 64 is "Preloaded by Lenovo from Win 8.1 Dowgrade Rights" ???
2. Will I then be able to use these Win 7 pro 64 - Recovery discs in the future should I need to "clean install Win7 Por 64 on the computer again ?
3. Also, If I use an Imaging Pgn like - Paragon Backup and recovery will I be able to reload win7 image and have win7 activated automatically just be restoring the Paragon backup image ?

... BTW, when you perform the - Weekly "Macrium - Image Backups", do you backup to a local USB cable connected External Usb Drive or wireless wifi connected to a NAS Drive ?
I have a Verbatim 2TB external USB 3.0 drive plugged into the PC. It's used for both my weekly image backups as well as my nightly data backups. I have one of these on EACH machine in my environment, for backups local to that machine. I also use them on machines I build for friends and family, as everybody needs a backup system for "priceless data".
Actually, to be a bit more complete, my "data" backups consists of two parts: (1) 1st-of-the-month FULL backups of all my data, and (2) nightly INCREMENTAL backups which handles anything created/changed in the past 24 hours. Thus a "backup set" consists of the beginning FULL backup coupled with the ever-growing throughout-the-month set of nightly INCREMENTAL backups.
NovaBACKUP can handle all of this if you need to recover something, so you yourself don't need to know exactly which backup file your file is located on. You simply identify the folder/file(s) you wish to recover, and the AS-OF date you want for that file (with "as of the latest version available" being the default). If you want to recover an older version than the most current version, you simply slide a GUI time-slider backwards until you arrive at the as-of date you desire. NovaBACKUP then figures out where the most current version is AS OF THE DESIRED DATE, and accesses that one-or-more backup files in order to complete your task.
I retain multiple "backup sets" (going back 4 complete months), so I can recover any folder/file(s) I had available on any specific night during the past 4 months. Most commonly of course it's typically "get me the most current version available as of last night", but just in case that version is corrupt or I truly want an earlier version, I can get it easily.

I need a new recovery disc for my MacBook help ASAP!!!

I need a new recovery disc for my MacBook so I can format and re-install the default operating system. I have lost the original recovery disc that came with my MacBook years ago. Can anybody tell me how and where I can order one from?
Also, I do have the original recorvery disc that came with my MacBook Pro, could I not just use this or would it not be compatible?
Help ASAP please...
Thank you!

For a fee, you could likely order a replacement install-restore DVD for your MacBook. To get the correct disc(s) and match the hardware to the system, you need to know and have the serial number of the product handy, and be able to answer some basic questions; and have a form of payment, such as credit card.
Call the Apple Store online (main US number, 1-800-MY-APPLE) or the main Apple Support number for US, 1-800-275-2273.
Or if you're in another country, you could try calling a Local in-country support number and ask, since they may have to redirect your call to another associate. See link below for Support phone numbers.
An operating systems specialist or other qualified person will be able to try & help obtain the correct disc or disc set; if the computer original gray-label set is no longer available, they may be able to check their extensive database against your product serial number to see if they may have another full install disc that can work.
This other option, if it happens, based on your MacBook serial number and build model identifier, could be slightly newer than the OS X version shipped with the MacBook, and not be gray-labeled.
A replacement install disc in retail version would not include any original MacBook applications, while a gray-label disc set should have most of them as part of a multiple DVD set, if available.

Hopefully this helps resolve the issue.

Create Recovery Disc For Windows 7

Hi,
I have HP Pavillion p6310y desktop with Windows 7 (not sure 32 or 64 or whatever)
My computer got virus infection. These virus are located in very low level of hard drive. Also there are other virus. Virus supporters want to remove these virus, but they are afraid my computer may be unoperable due to virus location level. They ask me to get rescue or recovery disc for the computer
Now I searched to create rescue disc via link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01867124&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc... , but I couldn't find "recovery manager". I do see recovery via control panel, but couldn't find a way to bring a image like link shown.
Anyone can help me to create the recovery or rescue disc for the hp?
Thanks.

OK... time to kill two stones with one bird...
Q: How I know my computer is window 7 32-bit or 64-bit?
A: I previously posted this "Windows 7 64b A1NAv6PrA1 + Supp 7 Recovery Kit" which states 64bit. Additionally, here is a link to your computer's specs... click on the "+" under "Software" at the bottom of the page.
Q: If virus is located in lower level of hard drive or computer, then try to remove them, it is likely to damage the computer and hard drive?
A: A virus, almost any virus is incapable of causing physical damage to your computer. The only damage they cause is to your data, installed programs, OS, and maybe your wallet. All it takes to remove most viruses is to format the drive.

Recovery disc for Toshiba Satellite L355-S7811

Ebay-password Recovery Disc for Mac OSX Lion

Dear Apple Support Communities: recently on ebay, I have seen several sellers selling a Password Recovery Disc for Mac OSX Lion. This Password Recovery disc claims to be able to reset Lion's password of any user account WITHOUT knowing the old password! Is this possible? This is scary! If so, is there a way to prevent someone from using this disc to reset someone's password without them knowing it? If you want to see for yourself: go to ebay and enter item # 251037274344 for example. There are other sellers also. Thanks.

Anyone can do this from the terminal without even a CD, so no it's not very scary.
If they advertised that they could get into file vault, or the keychain, then that would be another story altogether.

Can not make a recovery disc for Toshiba Laptop

When I try to make a recovery disc for my Toshiba Satellite L305-S5919 I receive the following message:
An error occurred in the recording phase. Please check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Error Code: 0E01B5-26-2A040301.
I have tried to do a recovery disc since buying the Computer in June 2009. The message always comes up at the same spot in the process. I am using DVD-R discs.

Can you burn to those disks using the regular Disk Writer Program? It doesn't matter what type as long as it's to that same batch of disks.
I would contact Toshiba as per this post and request that they provide you with a set of Recovery Disks since you can't make your own. They shouldn't charge you for them under the circumstances, but you might have to be forcefull about it.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Recovery disc for HP 15-r008tu

Hello,
How do I go about ordering recovery disc for my laptop? Any LINK? I never burned the recovery disc off and I need it as soon as possible because my hard disk crashed and laptop went for hard disk replacemet. Thanks

Sorry, but according to the specs, this model was shipped from the factory with Windows 8 64-bit installed. Because Windows 8 64-bit was the factory installed OS, it is going to be the only OS available on HP Recovery Media. If you wish to install Windows 7 Pro, you will need to purchase a copy with valid Microsoft COA and product key.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Recovery Disc For My Laptop

I was wondering if I really needed to create a recovery disc for my laptop. I created a disc under the "Getting Started" section under my "Start" button labeled "Back up your Files." Isn't that enough?

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion g6-2204tx Notebook Computer. Please see Creating Recovery Discs or Saving a Recovery Image to a USB Flash Drive (Windows 8) for information on making your personal set of HP Recovery Discs. You can also contact HP in your region to purchase a set of discs.

Re: Need Win 7 Recovery Disc for my Satellite Pro L750

Hi all,
Could someone tell me where to download or get a copy of the OEM Win 7 Recovery disc for my Satellite Pro L750? The laptop has a new HDD without a working recovery partition and I don't the recovery CD.
Help Please.

Yes of course you should make backup disks but this was my first personal laptop (unbelievable, right ? Never needed one before) and I wasn't aware i couldn't just make a recovery disk from any pc like I used to do for my desktop. The hdd is supposed to last for what, 5,000 hours ?
I would be lucky to have had more than 1,000 hours on it. And no games play either; it had an easy life.
As per Microsoft Forums I did a clean install of Windows 7 using a supposedly OEM setting download from Digital River (OEM in the 'channel' setting in the ei.efg file) but good old Toshiba must do something else in the hardware as slmgr /dli still states it's a 'retail' version so even though Microsoft would have given me a new product key (as to which i am entitled as i have purchased a licence when i bought the laptop), because the installation id states retail based, my genuine licence key number from the bottom of the laptop does not register as genuine when they check.
I tried my desktop pc oem windows 7 installation disk that I got with the pc (now there's a whacky idea, providing a disk with the purchase...) and no luck there either. The laptop was still locked to its own licence key and retail version. I'm guessing even if i bought a new retail windows copy, it still wouldn't work !
I still think $66 is far too much to pay to get the disks. I've already paid for the windows licence, But what choice has toshiba left me, other than to pay them their blood money.
I may be a slow learner, but I do learn. I will never buy a Toshiba laptop, or other Toshiba product again. Sure, other companies will have the same licensing setup, but I'm not angry at them !
