Recovery from Recovery Discs failed

My notebook is an Envy 17t-3200 3d CTO. It originally had Windows 7 (64 bit). I upgraded it to Windows 8 (64-bit) and then using the Windows store I upgraded to Windows 8.1. I loaned my Notebook to someone when I got it back I noticed a lot of programs on it that they had installed. So I decided to use my recovery disks (Windows 7 64-bit) to clean everything off and reload what I wanted. The recovery choices that appear include “system recovery” and “factory reset”. I decided to select the “factory reset” since it would format my Windows drive and then restored the notebook to the factory condition. After loading the five recovery disks I got screen that said the recovery has failed. It saved the information to a CAB file, but this forum doesn't support attachements.

Hi AirForce9731,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP ENVY 17t-3200 3D Notebook and recovery manager fails to restore. Here is a link to troubleshoot why the recovery manager fails to restore.
Please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Recovery from created discs failed...what did I do wrong?

I had created the recovery discs shortly after getting the T61 - 6459CTO w/ Vista. It created 1 CD to be labeled START Recovery and 2 DVDs labeled Product Recovery 1 & 2. BIOS sequence was changed to boot from the CD.
Inserted and booted from the start recovery CD. It then asked if I had an Operating System Recovery Disc...I said YES but none of the 3 discs were recognized as valid after inserting so I pressed NO. It then asked for Product recovery Disc 1 and Disc 2 which I did. It then asked for a Supplemental recovery disc. I don't have one of those and pressed no. A message started counting down...went down to 1 second and the machine hung. I finally had to hold the power button for an extended time to power it down.
(a) Should my system have created an OS recovery disc?
(b) Should it have created a Supplemental Product disc?
(c) Is this the proper sequence for a recovery from disc to "out of the box" state?
(d) suggestions? (other than calling tech support for factory discs)
Thanks much!
PS This is a fresh HD so no recovering from the service partition.
Solved!

hello
i assume that you have lost your hidden partiiton right?
supplementary s/w disks are model specific and donnot have much of an importance in recvery process it is the choice of the users according to which either you can use supplimentary cd's or not.but those cd's may contain essential s/w for runnning some services of your system as well..so coming to recovery thing ..if you aleady had vista installed you should not have done the reocovery process..if you still have vista installed try making the discs once again
do check out this link as well

HP laptop g7-1150us recovery (from recovery media) failed.

Model: HP laptop g7-1150us
recovery media: 3 DVDs that I created when I got this laptop.
Hard disk: I have run diagnosis for hard disk. Passed.
Problem:
I have tried recovery from recovery media. Following the instruction, I insert 3 DVDs. It copied the required files from DVD to the hard disk and shows "recovery preparation is complete". Also, it shows it will start recovery after restarting the computer. Once the computer is restarted, it shows boot failed. It is exactly the same story when I tried recovery manager from internal recovery disk.

If you can read the 25 character Microsoft Windows 7 license key attached to bottom of laptop, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD or USB flash drive. The version must match version that came installed on your PC as listed on the Microsoft COA sticker attached to bottom of laptop. Such as Windows Home Premium.
Link to the Windows 7 ISO file downloads:
http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325/
You can use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to convert the ISO file you download. Link and instructions below. You need a DVD+R or DVD -R . Or a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool#installation
Use the 25 character key on the COA to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Next go to your support and driver page to install the drivers you need.

During recovery from recovery partition I get message "INF file txtsetup.sif is corrupt or missing

During recovery from recovery partition I get message:
INF file txtsetup.sif is corrupt or missing, status 14.
Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit.
Now I have a computer with a recovery partition and that's about it.
The C partition has been formatted by recovery and files have been copied but I can't get any further.
The computer is an nc6220 and the OS, if the recovery would work, is winXP pro.
Anyone have any ideas ?

I assume you ran recovery from the hard drive?
If so,
I would run a chkdsk on the recovery partition it may fix the sif file corruption.
You can do this from a XP boot cd using the command prompt, you just need to run it on the recovery partition instead of the C drive as explained in this article.
http://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/page.php?id=5097
if you use the
map
command, it will list all the partitions and the drive letters
so the command might look something like this
chkdsk /r D:
D: represents the recovery partition, which may be different than D:

Recovery from USB media fails in error 10-fc12-0241

-Got a new laptop t135-s1309.
-works great.
-created recovery media on usb using the creation utility.
-to test recovery media, I ran recovery from the usb media.
-starts and carry's out recovery for a time.
-then error 10-fc12-0241 is displayed.
-I then recovery from the hidden partition on the hard disk by holding the zero key down during startup.
-this works and the machine is restored.
-by the way i shrunk the 'c' drive to 70 Gb and have a 210 Gb 'd' drive.
-the machine recovers as expected from the hard drive. I use the choice where partitions are not altered.
-I tried two different usb flash drives. One a Kingston 8GB, the other a Dane-Elec 8GB.
-I don't feel there is a hardware problem.
-I want to have recovery media besides the hard drive so I can recover should the hard disk fail or the hidden partition becomes faulty/unusable.

Probably because the recovery program doesn't support USB connected devices.

Cannot force destructive system recovery from recovery disc set Pavilion a1630n

I have a Pavilion a1630n. This desktop originally came with windows xp media center edition 2005.
I had exercised the windows vista home premium express upgrade several/many years ago.
I attempted to restore the computer after getting malware or virus infected.   I found that microsoft system restore had been turned off and no system restore points were available.   The set of vista system recovery discs that I had made after the os upgrade were also seemingly unuseable. I attempted to perform a destructive system recovery from the external discs that I had purchased in 2009. The recovery seemed to take place from the hard drive only and did not request recovery disc 2 or 3.
I now have a windows xp operating system with no files in the hp recovery partition except hidden files.  An attempt to run another recovery returns a message that the recovery partition not found! no software is available for reinstallation. hardware tests that I have run show no problems with any hardware.
I've attempted to various combinations of restarts per the support documents wither using the f10 or esc key to no avail.
Ideally I would like to know that the hard drive was successfully formatted and that the recovery takes place from the system recovery discs that I had purchased. (I'm fairly sure that the discs worked at one point as I used them prior to the windows vista upgrade.)   I believe that the discs are still in good condition as I can browse the discs on the laptop that I am using. I've also written and read cd's successfully but I have not attempted to read or write a dvd format.

At power on the menu options listed are
esc Boot Menu
F1 setup
F10 Recovery
I tried f9 per your suggestion since this is not a defined key. I can see the optical drive access the disk with the blinking cursor....after a minute or two the computer boots from the hard drive and does NOT attempt to perform system recovery.
I have set the to boot from the optical drive first (tsst corp ts-h652m)
The optical drive is accessed but eventually (after a minute or two) the computer boots up from the hard drive.
If I change the bios settings to only boot from the optical drive after a few minutes I receive the following message
" Disk boot failure, Insert system disk and press enter"
FYI
drivers in use
Samsung SP2504C (HDD) uses 5.1.2535.0
Tsst TS-h652m (optical drive) uses 5.1.2535.0
phoenix bios rev 3.10 12/13/2006
core rev 6.0
Any other suggestions ?

Recovery from recovery discs made with recovery manager on g62

I got the blue screen of death and had to do a system restore for my hp g62 laptop. Before i restored the computer, the recovery manager launched and had me backup my files. I backed up the system on like 15 discs using hp"s recovery manager. After it was done, i returned the computer back to factory settings. Now, im having a problem using the recovery discs made thru the recovery manager. The files arent being read. I tried to copy them and move them onto the hard drive....and they are all saved as .wim files....which arent read by anything. So i have all my files backed up, but that arent opening. How the hell do i open my files that i backed up? How do i put my files back on the computer?

Hi,
I've never really used the HP File Recovery system, but you can open an Image file as follows.
Download and install 7-Zip from the following link.
http://www.7-zip.org/
When installed, right click on the .wim file, select 7-Zip, select Extract Files and click Ok - your files should be in the newly extracted folder.

Issues with Recovery from recovery disc I created

Product Name and Number: HP G60-519WM notebook
Operating System installed: Windows 7 64-bit
I am trying to recover my system from a recovery disc I created, but am not having any luck. From the Systems Recovery Options, I get as far as it saying 'Use recovery tools that can help fix problems starting Windows. Select operating system to repair. If your operating system isn't listed click Load Drivers and then install drivers for your hard discs', which (NO OPERATING SYSTEM IS LISTED AT ALL) After I've clicked 'Load Drivers', I get the message, "Insert the installation media for the device and click OK to select driver." I'm stuck at this point....what driver(s) do I add and what else do I do to fix my laptop?
*Also from the Recovery Manager window, of the three help columns I am only able to select from second column titled ->I'd like to identify any problems.
PLEASE HELP

Thanks for responding to me, but is there no other way that I can solve this issue? In other words without cost? I don't even understand why this happened to me....I regularly do system clean ups, always check for updates, rarely download anything, etc.
One day I turned on my laptop and initially got a blue screen saying something happened (don't remember word for word) and restarted it per it's suggestion hoping it would fix itself....after I did, it came on making weird sounds and black screen telling me to insert reboot disc and press any key??? My financial status is bad currently and don't have luxury of $20 nor any amount. Please tell me there is another way??????

Keep getting errors during recovery from recovery media?

My hard drive failed on my L655-S5065 Laptop.
I replace the Hard Drive, Purchased the Toshiba Recovery Media and updated the BIOS.
The first disc of the media loads fine. The second disc runs for about 20 minuntes then kicks back the error code (0A-0543-0000). After the first failed recovery I used the "erase hard drive" option on the recovery media, tried the recovery again and same error code?
Thanks for the help, Steve

I'd suggest contacting support and telling them what happens. It's possible that there's a problem with the discs, and if it hasn't been too long since you purchased them, maybe you can get another set. However, I don't know what the policy is regarding that.

You should be able to tap the F11 key when you first power on the notebook and it will load the HP Recovery Manager. If you have problems with it loading, look through these HP troubleshooting documents for your friend's notebook.

Follow the instructions on this HP document.
This is a link to your notebook's web suport portal. The drivers for Grahhics adapter , fingerprint validity sensor and touchpad can be found at the Driver & software download section. Intall the driver that match your operating system and installed hardware. Don't forget to install the HP Support Assistant. It can be quite helpful.

How To Make a Clean Recovery using Recovery disc

For solving problems related to recovery from recovery discs you have to follow the steps below.
You need a windows 7/8 dvd(or by a bootable pendrive with win7/8),and your windows recovery discs for complete restoration.
Step1:insert win7/8 dvd and restart your pc.Enter the boot menu and select cd/dvd option to boot from dvd(for bootable pendrive,select that option).
Step2:After windows have loaded the windows files,click on install win7/8.
Step3:select custom installation
Step4:Now you will get a window with your harddisk partions.Click on Advanced option in the bottom of the table showing partition list.
Step5: Delete all partions for obtaining a single drive.
Step6:After deleting all partitions,you will get a single partition showing your harddisk size.Click on that drive and then select 'new' from bottom options.
Step7:Then windows will show a warnig.Click on 'YES'.And dont make any change to partion size and proceed.
Step8:After doing this you will get a 100mb system reseved memory and rest of your harddisk size as a drive.Then close the installation window.Restart you pc with windows 7/8 recovery disk.And follow the steps for recovery in recovery media.
Then the installation will complete without any errors.And you can have the OS as per the recovery media have.

If youtry to recover directly it won't work all the time.
So Kindely do as above
Please click on the White KUDOS STAR at the left of this post as a sign of thanks giving.

The preinstalled HP Recovery manager would still work.

Portege R700 - original recovery image re-installation failed

Hello
I have a Toshiba Portege R700 for years.
As i already have some trouble, i did a reinstallation few years ago, from recovery partition. Directly.
But, few days ago, i had some issues with my portege.
HDD seems to be broken as it make some noise and was really, really, really, ..., really slow.
So, after making some data backup during hours and hours (remember, it was really, ..., really slow), i lauch a complete re-installation from "recovery partition". It seems to be good, but .. never finished the process, with same HDD noise, and again slow HDD I/O.
OK, my own diadnostic: change HDD.
This done, and using the Toshiba recovery DVD just bought (yes impossible to find the earlied burn DVD), i have ... the same issue. The recovery process does not end even if 'im waiting for days ...
And i have the same HDD noise. With the new one!!
So having a MSDN licence, i installed a Win7 Pro 32bits, but not the Toshiba one.
And it's running for days without any issue!
But i have to reinstall all drivers, and software delivered by Toshiba.
Obviouly i will prefer to find what is the exact issue with this Portege, and reinstall the Toshiba version of Windows 7 Pro.
So, if someonre read the story until, the question is: ANY IDEA?
How to make a HW diagnostic? How to identify the exact problem?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Dr Lamp.
Remember that i
- did a successfull recovery from recovery partition few years ago
- tried 2 recovery recently
try 1, from recovery with initial HDD.
I'm not REALLY sure, but i think that the recovery failled during step "recovery image installation from copied data step 50/52"
I'm not sure.
As it take hours during this step, if it go to the next step or not, as i let it run for hours and hours (yes, i'm persistent)
try 2, from original Toshiba DVD i ordered (35)
I'm sure it fail during an additionnal step you forgot.
Because after "installed OS will be prepared for usage", which configure a lot of things using numerous reboot, there is the final step which is "first launch of win7"
Note that not the exact term, but is something like that.
Thanks for your help

Brand new internal HDD fails again and again after clean Mavericks install - disc utility from Recovery HD can't repair

My old internal (self installed) Seagate HDD broke down, and couldn't be fixed with disc utility (from install disc). I bought and installed a new hybrid Seagate HDD, and did several clean installs of Mavericks, but the problem keep occurring - on the new HDD, just as it did on the old one.
I can't run Hardware test. Happened both on 10.9.0 and 10.9.1.
Will try to repair with DiscWarrior later.

If both the HDD and the hybrid disk are failing, your problem may be the SATA cable in the main HD bay. You might want to search eBay for Apple part # 922-9751, or if you want a tested cable, pay the higher price from ifixit -> http://www.ifixit.com/Store/Mac/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Unibody-Early-2011-Late-2011 -Hard-Drive-Cable/IF161-086.
