Recovery Discs from HP won't start in my HP Pavilion Dv7

I have an HP Pavilion dv7 that I need to wipe clean due to spyware. I bought the System Recovery DVD's from HP and on them it states "to begin, insert the disc into the optical drive of your computer and follow the on-screen instructions." Unfortunately I insert the disc and I get the info from the disc to come up but no instructions. I have even tried to make the laptop run from the disc drive at start up. when I did that it wanted me to create system recovery discs. I do not need to make them, I have them from HP. Just frustrated on why the disc from HP are not doing as instructed.
Here is a picture of the screen I get when the disc are inserted:
I really do hope someone can help me I have been waiting to do this for weeks since I had to wait for the discs. 
Thank you,
KC

You're very welcome, KC.
If you can't boot from the DVD, it could indeed be a bad disk.
Also, make sure you have disk 1 in first to boot from.
And yes, you should get a very brief message to hit any key to boot from CD, so watch carefully for it.
If you miss it you have to start all over again and reboot the PC.

  • Recovery disc from HP boot, but dont start revovery manager

    Hi,
     I've bought recovery disc from HP for my HP pavillon dv62124el.
    When the notebook boot with recovery disc it starts loading windows and then appeared a grey background, the mouse pointer, but nothing else. Recovery manager does not start.
    Can you help me?
    Tnx a lot!

    Hi,
    See if you can get it to run as follows.
    Shut down the notebook.  Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.  Insert the 1st Recovery Disc.  Select Boot options ( usually f9 ).  Use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter.  You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue'.

  • Recovery disc from Lenovo

    Hi all.  I have a T500 ThinkPad, and my hard drive failed the other day.  I never got around to making any recovery media, even though I have had the machine for almost a couple years.  I have read on the Lenovo support page that I can get a recovery disc from them.  My question though is whether this includes the OS.  It would seem that it would, but I just want to make sure.  Thanks.

    Yeahh, recovery media you can order for your model, completely recover your laptop to state of your first switchining on of your machine. It creates hidden recovery partition on your disc and of course system partition C with operating system and all drivers and applications. The first step should be eavch time firstly to burn your Recovery Media, if you did not do it, unfortunatelly it will cost you some money, i have paid for recovery media about 30 EUR.

  • I can't finde the recovery disc from my Satellite A100-163

    My A100 will not load - can't find the recovery disc. Can I use my A60 recovery disc on my A100 - 163 laptop?

    Sorry, but you cant use the recovery disk from the A60. It will not work.
    You can order a new recovery disk from Toshiba:
    https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/
    Or you go to an ASP (authorized service provider) to get a new one:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Find an ASP
    You can also use an original Microsoft disk, but there you must install all drivers manual and this takes a lot of time.

  • 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,

  • Transfer files from MacBook (won't start) to IMac

    I have a black older Macbook that as of today, wont start up.  Im getting the folder with the ? blinking at me. 
    I wanted to connect my Macbook to my new IMac via Firewire and start the Macbook up holding down T to recover some important files, but the firewire connections are different.
    I noticed today when I was working on my laptop that the hard disk space was getting low, around 3gb left.  The computer locked up while working, I went to restart and now its stuck.
    Any suggestions on how to get files off the Macbook to transfer them over to my newer IMac?

    You need a 400 to 800 (6 pin to 9 pin) FireWire cable. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_10?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=400+to+800+firewire+cable&sprefix=400+to+800%2Celectronics%2C370
    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • LR 5.7.1 from CC won't start

    I get an  error msg "LR encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit", then an Adobe PS CC window pops up and asks to licence software; Running Windows 8.1; Preview Cahce folder deleted; LR uninstalled, reinstalled. No joy. I have CC membership. Help?

    With Lightroom closed, use your system browser to open the folder containing your Lightroom catalog. You will find a folder with the extension .lrdata. It will have the same name as your catalog. You need to delete that folder. Then start Lightroom, and it will generate a new previews folder automatically for you.

  • Recovery Disc won't boot

    Hello,
    I have a HP Compaq nx7400. I've created Recovery Discs but they won't boot from start up screen. When I press F9 and pick optical drive the DVD is spinning from time to time and nothing happens until windows startup.
    I've suspected that there might be a problem with my optical drive so I've borrowed an external DVD. The same thing happens when I startup from DVD USB external drive.
    I have suspected that there might be somekind of a Recovery DVD problem so I've tested them on a different laptop. The recovery disk have booted without any problem.
    I run out of ideas. Any solutions, please?

    Try repeatedly pressing F2 immediately after pressing the power button and see if it will at least take you to the laptops BIOS screen (usually blue with a lot of hardware options).  If you can do this, you could try going back to the toshiba site on a secondary computer, redownloading the BIOS update accept follow the secondary manual install procedure (usually requires a disc to be burned or put on a USB drive).  By not completely loading the BIOS update correctly, you may have corrupted your BIOS firmware which is the essential hard coded software on the motherboard that tells the system how to initially load everything before handing it all off to Windows when windows starts.  All that "start up" form the BIOS is what happens with the laptops POSTs or shows you the "Toshiba" screen initially for 3 to 5 seconds as soon as you turn the system on.  Let me know if this helps.

  • How can I get system recovery discs (mailed and/or burned from laptop)?

    I have a family member who is in another state and has a Toshiba C855D-S5100. It is just under 1yr old and is having some issues booting up. She got it from Best Buy and took it to them yesterday. They are currently running a full diagnostic scan and will let us know what the problem is sometime today (virus, bad drive, bad memory, etc.).
    In the meantime, it made me think that we may want to create some recovery discs (if we can). I did this with an older Gateway. It required 4 DVDs. Can this be done with this model? If so, how as it has Windows 8 and I am not real familiar with this operating system just yet.
    If the test comes back and says the hard drive is the issue, the unit will be sent to Toshiba for repair (since there is 2 weeks left on warranty). In addition to trying to create some recovery discs, can we maybe somehow order the actual recovery discs from Toshiba directly (& keep for future purposes if the hard drive fails and gets replaced)? If so, how and where do we go to get these Toshiba recovery discs sent to us?

    The full Specifications for that machine are HERE.
    See the User's Guide starting on page 55 for instructions on "Creating Recovery Media" yourself.
    You can order Recovery Media from HERE. (Scroll down).

  • Iconia W3 810 won't allow USB external disc drive to use recovery discs

    Hello fellow Acerites and thanks in advance for your help! My Iconia tablet's Windows installation has gone sour and I have the recovery discs from Acer.  However, the tablet will not allow me to use my external USB disc drive to install them. Acer tells me the solution has been posted on this forum, but I cannot find it. Help please?

    You need external power for the drive, either direct power to the drive or by connecting to a powered USB hub. The drive will show up without it, but there won't be enough juice to run the motor.
