Recovery drive corrupted Windows 7 64-bit

Hi all,
My laptop came with recovery drive of Windows 7 64-bit. I once re-installed windows from that recovery drive. Some time ago I
installed some software after that "Windows not genuine" message start appearing. Then I tried to re-install Windows from Recovery Drive. But I come to know that my Recovery Manager is not working (Pressing F-8 while starting system, and directly
starting Recovery Manager from Programs) I have consulted some technical people they says that your recovery drive is corrupted. What should I do now.
Thanks!
Don't turn on your computer anymore.
Take your computer to a professional who can possibly recover whatever data may be recoverable on your hard drive. Tell the professional the software you downloaded that started causing the problem regarding the "Windows not genuine" message appearing
so the professional removes that software from the recovery if they can.
The professional will be able to diagnose what the issue with the harddrive or your computer is. Possibly the hard drive is failed and no data can be recovered from it. Possibly something on the laptops motherboard is bad so the hard drive can not be accessed.
The laptop may need a new hard drive. Which may require the professional to install Windows 64 bit OS on the new harddrive.
Plan to spend money.
May be cheaper to buy new laptop and throw old laptop away.
Don't install that software on your laptop again.
La vida loca

Crystal reports connectiong to Salesforce Driver on Windows 64 bit server

Hi,
We are in the process of migrating our Crystal reports reports from BOXIR2 to R3. The R3 server is built on Wondows 2003 64bit server.
The reports work fine in 32bit windows2003 server on XIR2 environment.
Refreshing the crytsal reports in BOXIR3 nfoview on 64 bit server in connceting to SFDC databse fails with a error inavalid database argument.
Refreshing the same report using CR 2008 client fails with an error message below.
Invalid Argument provided. Details: Java Server startup failure. Please verify the PATH (JDK), CLASSPATH and IORFileLocation properties in the CRConfig.xml file. In addition, please verify you are using JDK 1.5.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Chinna

This error usually means there is an issue with the Sales Force driver. Take a look at SAP Note 1197347 (same issue on an older version of Crystal Reports/BOE software).
Also take a look at SAP Note 1400317 if you installed SP2 on Crystal Reports 2008, another possible cause

USB drive only mounts as Local Drive Need it to mount as USB Drive to create recovery drive

subject pretty much says it all. Using an HP Sleekbook 15, it tells me to make recovery disk. I opt for the USB drive option and buy a new Sandisk Cruze Glide. Plugged it in. Started Recovery program to make disk. Program tells me to insert the USB drive or plugin my DVD burner. I check the file explorer and find the USB drive is mounted as Local Drive E:. No amount of inserting and removal will trigger the program to continue.
Doc read on SanDisk forum implied this is a windows 8 compatibility issue where Win 8 requires new USB drives that meet Win 8 compatibility to mount as Local devices.
I saw here that the USB drive MUST be a removable device inorder to be made bootable.
Help! this is inconsistant and negates the whole reason for using removable media if it can't be made to be seen as a boot recovery drive.
I need a solution, can those who know please advise.

Not all USB 3.0 is Windows 8 compatible. It will have the compability logo on the back or front of the package.
I have run across several interesting articles that mention Windows 8 can create the Recovery Drive with I assume any flash drive.

Brand new notebook needs 32Gb of Recovery drive space?

Hi,
A Hp Envy 17 notebook, run for the very first time, asks for a Flash Drive of at least 32Gb to make a recovery drive.
Anyone any ideas on how to reduce this, dare I say ridiculous, amount of memory for a simple recovery drive?
Thx

Hi Swift,
Considering it is the first time to use the HP machine ,I agree with Milos. It is recommended to ask for help from the HP forum .They will be more familiar with this case .
As for creating a recovery drive ,here is a link for reference :

HP Pavilion 15t-n200 (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit) -- Recovery Drive Almost Full

Hello, Everyone:
I just set up my new HP Pavilion 15t-n200 laptop (product number E9Z18AV) yesterday. Other than installing software for my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium printer and a free PDF Creator, I added no other software to the laptop. To my big surprise, the D drive (recovery drive) shows that I have used 22.5 GB, leaving only 2.4 GB free!
FYI, the specs for my laptop are:
Intel Core i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHz
12 GB system memory
1T hard drive (of which 856 GB is free)
I would appreciate any advice or guidance from forum members to resolve this issue.
Thank you.

That is how it is shipped. The D: drive is static. It is only used for making restore disks or restoring the system so there is no need to leave free space. The drive that is dynamic (i.e. stuff is being added) is the C:\ drive. You should have lots of space there.

V570 problem with Intel onboard driver on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

Hello Everyone,
I recently installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on my Lenovo v570. I downloaded the drivers from the support page and I have a strange problem with the onboard graphics driver "Intel Onboard Graphics Driver for Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit) - Lenovo B470, B570, V370, V470, V570" in the drivers section.
Installation seems fine, but after restart, the system fails to boot and goes into boot recovery mode, where I get a message saying that booting failed due to a bad driver and the only actual option I have to boot up is to go back to a previous restore point. I tried installing the Nvidia driver for Windows 7, but it says that I need to install an Intel driver first, which is the one that gives me the blue screen when booting. I have also tried installing both drivers without a restart between both installations, but that didn't help.
I am wondering if anyone in the community has seen something similar. Any advice, information or assistance will be highly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance for your time.
Best regards,
Moe.

Error 0xE0000235 when trying to download a driver onto Windows SBS 2008 64-bit Standard FE.

Unfortunately, Error 0xE0000235 occurs when trying to download a driver onto Windows SBS 2008 64-bit Standard FE.
I am installing the GV 800 GeoVision 32/64Bit 16CH Video Capture Card onto the server.
Please urgently assist.
Answer in clear English. Cryptic answers not welcome. Yes...I know you are an intelligent, highly valuable expert on the world's leading edge technology.

Hi, I'd like to inform you that the error code 0xE0000235 refers to "Error in WOW64". This can be caused by corrupted or incompatible driver of the Video Capture Card. Similar issue may also occur on other driver on other operating system and I don't think
this can be caused by SBS2008 blocking the driver.
I suggest you contact with GeoVision Technical Support (http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/4_0.asp) and see if their driver should work on SBS2008 and make sure that you have downloaded
latest driver from their site:

Corrupted regsutry recovery problems for Windows XP on system restore

Hi. Had a spyware (Trojan) killed by the virus cleaner but upon restart it gave me a famous lsass.exe error about an application, which could not be terminated. Went on and read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 but when tried to start recovery from Windows XP CD-ROM, the command "copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system" did not work. Eventually was able to load the system from the CD-ROM but then could not pass part 2 (safe mode after rebooting) as the administrator password has been changed. I have run NT Password and Registry Bootdisk from USB to remove the administrator password but when tried go back to recovery console from Windows XP CD-ROM, the computer powers off right before I select "R"-option to start the recovery console. When I do not use the CD-ROM and try to power on in a safe mode, it gives BSOD. How do I get to corrupted registry if I cant get to recovery console and system restore?
Any help is appreciated. I have run a system diagnostics and start-up test has passed but on hard disk test I get to 10% of comprehensive only and then it seems to take indefinite.

How to do a Manual SYSTEM RESTORE in XP, this should fix the missing or corrupt config file.
A. Connect your non-bootable hard drive to another computer, as a secondary drive or use a usb adapter or enclosure, If you can see your data on the drive, back it up Now, then follow the rest of these instructions.
B. Open Windows Explorer. Click on Tools|Folder Options|View. Check the box beside "Show hidden files and folders". Apply your change.
NOTE
D: may not represent the hard drive you connected to your PC, it may be E: or F: or G:, it all depends on how many other drives (including cd/dvd) you have in your host PC, So substitute the appropriate drive letter in the instructions below.
C. Navigate to the D:\System Volume Information folder. You will see a folder named something like _restore{.........} the dots represent an alpha-numeric sequence.
In this folder you will see folders named RP0....RPnn. Find the one with the highest number.
These are your System Restore points. In the highest numbered folder you will see a folder named snapshot. In this folder are registry hive files which you need to recover your system:
_registry_user_.default
_registry_machine_security
_registry_machine_software
_registry_machine_system
_registry_machine_sam
D. Create a subdirectory; i.e, D:\Windows\TMP. Copy these files to the TMP subdirectory. Rename them to:
default
security
software
system
sam
Note Be sure to lose the period (.) in the file named _registry_user_.default
E. Delete the files in the D:\windows\system32\config subdirectory with the same short names.
F. Copy the D:\windows\tmp files to the D:\windows\system32\config. subdirectory.
G.Put your drive back in its original system. Your system should start normally. If you get the same error repeat the procedure and choose another folder ( RPnn) (next highest number).
You can repeat this procedure choosing lower RPnn numbers until you get it booting again.
If you are denied access to any folders you will have to take "Ownership" of the folders first. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421
If this procedure fails to work you need to repair or reinstall Windows.

How to Install 64-bit "Generic / Text Only" print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server?

Hi All,
In a nutshell, I need to Install the 64-bit Generic / Text Only print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server’s “Generic / Text Only 32-bit print queue.
The problem is that there is no Driver-Disk to get the drivers. I’ve been able to isolate 14 files related to the 64 bit drivers from a Windows 7 x64 computer and copy them to a temp folder on the Windows 2003 x32 server. When I try to add the 64 bit driver
to the Windows 2003 x32 server, it wants a *.inf file, which I don’t have and can’t find.
Because Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP, my client is replacing all of their Point-of-Sale Windows XP x32 systems with Windows 7 x64. They use Terminal Services (Remote Desktop) to connect to a Windows 2003 x32 server to use the POS system. The
POS software redirects LPT1 back to the local Generic / Text Only printer. This works great for XP x32.
When we use the Terminal Services POS software on the new Windows 7 x64 system, none of the labels print out because it’s redirected in 32-bit back to the local Windows 7 x64 Generic / Text Only 64-bit printer.
This will be a huge issue for me if I can’t get this to work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help! -Rob

Ok, I found in the Net the drive 7uw706ww.zip, which is Version 6.1.4.2, while the updated version is 6.1.10.5 (7UW708WW).
I tried again the GPS, and it wasn't working.
Anyway, before downgrading, I tried to reinstall the new driver, downloading and installing the .exe instead going through System Update.
Result: now GPS is working (same place, same conditions, just 5 minutes later)!
Don't know where the difference is...

HP Deskjet 3920 driver for Windows 7 64 bit not available anywhere

Printer HP Deskjet 3920

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello I am an employee at HP and I just replied to another person on the same type of problem. I don't know if you already did this but I had the same problem on a different printer and it worked for me. You have to have the printer turned on and hooked up to your PC and then do a Windows Update. With Win7 update the process will see that you have the printer and need a driver and should give you the option to download it. You can then select it and download it and it should work. Here is also the text from the HP website. I hope this works for you.
NOTE:When you connect the USB cable to the printer, and then to the computer, Windows 7 activates Windows Update. Windows Update searches online for the most recent product driver on the Windows Update site. If the online driver is more recent than the driver stored in Windows 7, the computer downloads and installs the updated driver.The Windows Update process takes place automatically. Therefore, you might not notice that the process is in progress.

Use the Photosmart 320 series driver available through Windows Update.

Installing HP Laser Jet 5 driver for Windows 7 64-bit or 32-bit

I had an issue with installing an HP LaserJet 5 printer to a WIndows 7 64-bit box. I thought I would post my experience and solution to this problem so that others can quickly resolve similar issues.
If you connect as I did with a Parallel Printer-to-USB cable, then Win-7 searches for drivers automatically. But none werre found. However, using "Add Printer" via Control Panel/View Devices and Printers/Printers and Faxes, then left click starts the process for finding and installing the HP driver needed.
No need as others have suggested to go to HP Support Center to install their Universal Printing PCL 5 driver found here:
www1.hp.com/...Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5/
Hope this helps speed you on your way!

Thanks for sharing your tip RatioCynic! That's what this forum is all about!
Happy printing!
Thanks!
