  • Recovery image for T520 - Windows 8

    Hey guys.
    I just bought an refurbished T520 with win7 pre-installed.
    I want windows 8.1.
    I've had a bad feeling about installing from a clean win8 and then installing drivers and bloatware from lenovo.com
    I'd rather install a image that I know is made for my exact pc. (call me crazy)
    Is there somewhere to download an recovery image for my laptop? I don't care if it cost me a little money.
    Rasmus

    If you do a fresh install of Windows from your own copy, you don't have to install anything other than drivers if you don't want the bloatware.  You can install the drivers from the OEMs if you want, as well, for many of the components. 
    I did this with a fresh install of Win 7.  After installing, got chipset, video, wireless, and ethernet from Intel.  I used Lenovo for things like camera, fingerprint, sound, etc.  Peripherals, basically.

  • Recovery image for Mini 311-1037NR

    I have a Mini 311-1037NR that has been returned from one of our users. The recovery partition has been wiped by the user (they used it as a data drive I think). if there a place that I can download the recovery partition image or a recovery iso that can be written to a USB drive to factory recover this? Purchasing the CDs won't help as I have no way to use them on the netbook.

    You will need to use a USB dvd drive for a recovery disk set (CD or usb media).
     Unfortunately downloading the recovery partition is not an option.
    You will need to purchase a recovery disk set or recovery usb media from HP or an HP partner.
    Here is a link to order Windows 7 recovery media for the mini from HP.
    Best regards,

  • Re: Where can I find recovery image for my Satellite L300D?

    Hi all,
    my wife has a L300D laptop which was wiped when she used the wrong back up disc in it,,,, need some help and advice as to whether I can find a recovery system on line or do I need to take it into a shop to get it working again
    Thanks in advance
    Neil

    Unfortunately Tom is right. What you need now is original Toshiba recovery DVD and you can use it for recovery image installation. After this installation you will have factory settings again.
    This disc can be ordered. Just follow the link posted by Tom.
    If you have more questions you are welcome.

  • Quick recovery image for internet based clients

    Hello all,
    Imaging of internet based clients is not supported with SCCM, but is there any other (Microsoft) way to quickly recover to a standard image for internet based clients (we use MS Surface for our sales reps)? For example, putting an standard image on a seperate
    partition with which you can instruct users by phone to redeploy their machine to an original configuration? I do not think that DaRT will solve my issue by the way.

    I haven't implemented this myself. I just thought it was a cool idea. It's primarily designed to solve this problem with very small branch offices using Direct Access. You should contact 1E for more information
    eg the step: "Prestage content using Nomad".
    Where is the content coming from? Remember that this is designed for a small office so Nomad could be using peer-to-peer distribution here. Also, with Nomad, you could run that step outside the OSD task sequence so that the content will already
    be available (by downloading slowly over time) when and if required.

  • Re: Need recovery image for Satellite A660-148

    Hello ,
    I want to download the DVD restore Toshiba Satellite A660-148, and I format the HDD recovery partion. Please Help me to restore my laptop to the original factory condition !!
    his first OS installed ! TOSHIBA inovation ....

    Hey,
    I agree with xaver. The Toshiba recovery disk cant be downloaded. You have to create it yourself as you can read in your user manual. This tool is preinstalled on your notebook.
    If the original OS is still installed it should be no problem to create this disk.
    Can you find recovery media creator and create the recovery disks?

  • Lumia 2520 recovery image

    Hello everyone....
    I would know if anyone knows where can I find the recovery image for Lumia 2520... Tried to find it but couldn't...
    If anyone has the Lumia 2520 can do this procces 
    http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/storage-files-and-folders/create-a-recovery-drive
    and upload this to cloud (such as dropbox for me)
    I would appreciate it because I am from Greece and Nokia doesn't support this tablet... They tell to send it in another country to repair and this could take 3-4 months....
    Thanks in advance...
    Lumia 1020 -> The apotheosis of Nokia

    Hi everybody. I'll copy the same thing I posted in WindowsCentral forums here hoping that someone will be able to help me:
    I just received my Lumia 2520 and as soon as I got my tablet activated, downloaded a couple of apps it suddenly switched off. When I switched it back on again it showed the 'sad face' BSOD (Attached Image 1).
    Then it kept restarting and showing the same message over and over again with a few exceptions when it showed some particular errors instead of the one above (and hanged for 10+ minutes at 100%) (Image 2).
    This kept on going but then I managed to get to the 'Diagnosing your PC' screen followed by 'Choose an option' screen (Image 3) where I would be able to reset my device to the state it was when it got out of factory...if I had the Recovery Image written on an USB drive! 
    The question is, could someone who has the 2520 create the image and share it with me, please?

  • System Recovery Kit for dv7-3165dx fails to restore factory image to replacement hd

    I'm posting this wall of text here in case someone else has any suggestions before I contact HP Support to see what options they have.
    My attempt to recover the factory image to a replacement hard drive in an HP Pavilion dv7-3165dx notebook is failing. An error occurs when SM.exe is trying to merge the WIM files. The SSRD.Log shows an error:
    SM, 13, Set reference file fail
    after that, SM.exe displays this message when run from a command line:
    SM, Failure, Can not load imagex 1 from src WIM file
    The following are the symptoms that the Recovery Manager displays on the screen.
    The Recovery Manager reads the two DVDs and after a few seconds, it pops up an error message:
    Reducer
    C:\RM\Image\TempBASE.WIM was not found.
    The message has on "OK" button that when clicked on, closes the message window.
    After that, nothing happens. No disk or DVD activity for over an hour. The mouse moves, but no key presses have any effect, including CTRL-ALT-DEL. You can use the mouse to move the Recovery Manager window around, and there is nothing hidden behind it. Clicking on the Recovery Manager Back, Next, or Cancel buttons produce no response at all.
    The only option at this point is to hold down the power switch until it powers down.
    When the power is turned back on, the hard drive boots and Recovery Manager displays a message that incorrectly claims "Recovery is complete" and has a "Click Finish to restart" button. After clicking on "Finish", it reboots but since the System Recovery did not actually complete, all it does is display:
    BOOTMGR is missing
    Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart
    Before attempting the recovery, the notebook passed all diagnostic tests.
    The 2x2GB memory cards, which still have HP stickers on them, were tested with Memtest86+ V5.01 and completed over six passes in over seven hours with zero errors.
    The replacement 500GB HGST Travelstar Z5K500 drive was tested with gsmartcontrol. The SMART status showed no errors in the past with over 400 hours of power-on time. Both of the SMART short self-test and extended self-test tests were run, which it passed without any errors.
    The HP System Diagnostics from the Startup Menu were run on the memory and hard drive and they passed those tests without any errors.
    While waiting for the HP "System Recovery Kit for Consumer Notebook (3 Disks)" Software Part Number 599357-001 to arrive, both Fedora 21 64bit and Windows Vista 64bit were successfully installed on the harddrive.
    Both System Recovery DVDs were read on different machines without any errors. This System Recovery Kit supports the notebook's System Id which is 3638, so they appear to be the correct discs.
    Now a list of workaround attempts that were suggested.
    After the Recovery Manager failed a few times with the same error message, some googling came up with other users mentioning the "TempBASE.WIM was not found" error message. I tried these suggestions that I read about.
    Run KillDisk to fill the HD with zeros.
    Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
    Run the CyberLink Recovery Discs Utility (sp44645.exe).
    Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
    Installed Windows VISTA 64bit again and upgraded the BIOS from F10 to F13.
    Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
    Try only using a single 2GB memory card to see if it was a 64bit problem.
    Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
    The BIOS does not have an option to change from AHCI mode to IDE mode.
    I don't have a Windows 7 OEM install disc and am trying to avoid spending $100 to buy one.
    That is when I decided that it is not a PC hardware problem, but a problem with the HP System Recovery Kit. Here are the details of what I think the Kit is doing.
    After running Recovery Manager and getting the error message, instead of just re-booting and letting the "Recovery is complete" message appear, I re-booted with a Linux USB drive and inspected what was on the hard drive.
    fdisk -l shows this:
    Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
    Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

    fsarchiver probe shows this:
    [======DISK=] [=============NAME====] [====SIZE==] [MAJ] [MIN]
    [sda                     ] [HGST HTS545050A7                ]  [  465.76 GB] [     8] [     0]

    [sda2                 ] [vfat                  ] [SDV                     ] [  400.00 MB] [   8] [     2]
    Running gparted shows about 200 MB of unallocated space before the sda1 NTFS partition. The rest of the disk is unallocated after the bootable sda2.
    The sda1 NTFS partition has a \SSRD.Log file and an empty \RM\Image directory.
    The sda2 FAT32 partition has the Recovery Manager application files in it:
    /mnt/sda2:
    total 400
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Apr 9 23:36 SDV.FLG
    drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 9 23:36 SYSTEM.SAV
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 1 2009 BOOT
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 1 2009 EFI
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 1 2009 SOURCES
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 27 2009 TOOL
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 383562 Jul 13 2009 bootmgr
    The SOURCES directory has boot.wim, and the TOOL directory has all the programs, like Reducer.exe and SM.exe, in it.
    After shutting down the Linux system and rebooting, the Recovery Manager then boots from sda2 and displays the "Recovery is complete" message and "Click Finish to restart" button. During this process, it removes the sda2 partition and marks the sda1 NTFS partition as the active bootable partition. When the PC restarts, all that is left is the sda1 NTFS partition with the empty C:\RM\Image directory and the SSRD.Log file, so there is no BOOTMGR to boot with.
    The SSRD.Log file logs the tasks that the Recovery Manager performs.
    The Recovery Manager runs some initialization tasks and then reads the two System Recovery DVDs. It then calls MergeWimFile which runs SM.exe and starts to merge BASE.WIM with the other BASE*.WIM files. SM.exe merges 20 WIM files with log entries like these:
    SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE22.WIM
    SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE23.WIM
    SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE3.WIM
    SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE4.WIM
    SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE5.WIM
    SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE6.WIM
    SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE7.WIM
    Then, with only two WIM files left, BASE8.WIM and BASE9.WIM, the log shows:
    SM, 13, Set reference file fail
    This must be when Recovery Manager pops up the "Reducer C:\RM\Image\TempBASE.WIM was not found" error message.
    That narrowed down the problem.
    I copied all of the WIM files and the TOOLS directory to a Windows 8.1 system. The two DVDs did not have any errors while being read. Running SM.exe from an admin Command Prompt with the same parameters that were logged in the SSRD.Log produced the same error message. There was an additional error message that appeared in the Command Prompt window:
    SM, 13, Set reference file fail
    SM, Failure, Can not load imagex 1 from src WIM file
    and the TempBASE.WIM was not created.
    SM.exe /? did not provide a help message. I could not find any documentation on the SM.exe command.
    If I removed three of the WIM files, (BASE7.WIM BASE8.WIM BASE9.WIM) then SM.exe could create the TempBASE.WIM file, but it would fail while merging index 2 of 3 with this message:
    SM, 11%, Merge index 2 of 3 Processing
    SM, Failed, Export image failed
    The TempBASE.WIM is 3,421,518 KB in size after that.
    This is where I came to a dead end and cannot think of anything else that I can do. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but it appears to me that there was some kind of error building this System Recovery Kit and it is not able to perform a factory install on this notebook.
    ps
    If I can figure out how to add an attachment, I will add the SSRD.Log file.  If not, then ask and I will post it as a followup.

    Downloaded Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit which contains the latest imagex program.
    Running imagex.exe on the BASE7.WIM file on the second System Recovery DVD:
    imagex.exe /info K:\PRELOAD\BASE7.WIM
    ImageX Tool for Windows
    Version: 6.2.9200.16384
    Error opening file [K:\PRELOAD\BASE7.WIM].
    The data is invalid.
    The same error message is shown for BASE7.WIM, BASE8.WIM, and BASE9.WIM.
    The other WIM files in the PRELOAD directory, BASE5.WIM, BASE6.WIM, BASE10.WIM, BASE13.WIM, BASE15.WIM, BASE17.WIM and BASE23.WIM, could be read by imagex without any errors.

    Hi:
    If HP doesn't have recovery disks for your PC, then you can see if this place does for anywhere, but the USA/Canada

  • Are there any recovery tools for optical media?

    I've had a couple of DVD's  turned in to coasters recently and I was hoping that Linux could come to my rescue with some awesome 'raw-read' / recovery tools for optical media?
    I burnt the discs in Windows 7 using InfraRecorder on a brand new Plextor drive (a 'PX-891SA') and these are my first attempts to burn discs with it so I'm a bit worried it could be a hardware fault!
    I started off trying to back up some files to clear some space on my hard-drive, burning them to a dual-layer dvd, but the software kept failing to even start the burn process -- that was until I realised that I needed to run the program "as Administrator" (in Windows). It did then manage to burn the disc (I was using "Session-at-Once" mode) however when it came to the end of the burn process / the start of the 'verify data' phase it threw an error saying the write process had failed! Windows couldn't access the disc / data and (I think) still thought the disk was empty. So I restarted the burning application and used a function to just 'close' the whole disc. This seemed to work because Windows was then able to recognise the disc and read the data, although accessing the disc was slow and sounded 'stutter' ish.
    I then tried to write a single layer dvd to finish off the last couple of gig I had to back up, but again the software completed the burn phase only to report a 'fail' error right at the end (I'm assuming) before finalising the disc. Although this time I'd tried to create a multi-session disc by using the '2XXA' (or something) 'Multi-Session' iso9660 format. The result was that Windows couldn't read the disc and still thought it was empty, even after trying a forced 'close disc' operation! -- Linux however could read the disc and see that the data had in fact been burnt to the disc (although I've not yet tried copying it in Linux!).
    Finally I needed to burn a load of archives to a couple of discs (totaling ~9GiB) -- starting with a dual-layer dvd first everything seemed to be working fine, the burn process started okay and the write buffer was full etc., until at what I assume was the layer change-over it all came to a grinding halt and threw another 'write operation failed' error, only this time I can't even mount the disk in Linux....see 'dmesg | tail' output below:
    [ 5758.353005] ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
    [ 5758.353015] ISOFS: Interleaved files not (yet) supported.
    [ 5758.353016] ISOFS: File unit size != 0 for ISO file (1472).

    [ 5758.353037] isofs_fill_super: root inode is not a directory. Corrupted media?
    Does anyone have any thought or suggestions that might help?
    - Is it likely to be a hardware fault? (I bought a Plextor because I thought they were one of the best!)
    Maybe even if I could just close the session all would not be lost?

    @chris_l -- yeah I was worried that might be the case, still I'm not sure if that explains why it keeps failing the burn process part way through?
    I've tried this and that in Linux but without much luck. I'm still quite a noob with a lot of Linux things and this is the first time I'm trying anything to do with optical disks/drives etc. so I'm learning as I go...
    The disk that failed in Windows but was 'readable' in Linux did just pass a run through ddrescue -- i.e. it created an output file okay and did not report any errors in the process.
    However when I mounted the resulting image and tried to copy the files across the first folder reported an "input/ouput error" (just using gui copy+paste in Thunar file manager)
    ...the other folders did copy okay though!
    It seems as though it's the lead-in / lead-out and disc finalizing process that are the main fail points with the burn operation. I don't know if InfraRecorder is any good or likely to be the problem? Anyway the drive cam with Nero (inc. Linux version) so might give either or both of these a go too, if they don't work either then at least I wont be short of something to rest a mug o' tea on
    @ chris_l (again) -- the Plextor drives do have a "Vari-Rec" feature which allows a user to 'tweak' the laser power / output level so I might try this too.
    @alphaniner -- thanks I've not seen this package before, I'm guessing it's a bit like cdparanoia but for dvds?!
    Thanks for the help!
    (pre-post) UPDATE >>> I've just mounted my Windows partition  in Linux so I'll have a crack at burning the files using cdrtools before I resort to throwing the dvd drive out of the window and chasing it around the yard with a lump hammer

  • Do I need to create a recovery file for my new laptop if there is a HP recovery

    I have just bought a HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC 15 - n219 sa
    Serial : [Edited for Personal Information]
    Product # : F9U67EA#ABU
    There is a recovery partition.
    I am a bit confused on the issue of recovery file creation. I have found instructions on youtube on the the creation of an image of the laptop but I wonder why I need to do that given there is a HP recovery manager.
    Although I do not really know what the manager does.
    Can anyone tell me what the best strategy is regarding recovery files for this laptop taking in to account the partition.
    After I have done this I wish to remove macfee and install the Norton I bought. Do I need to disable the macafee? If so how do I do this?
    Can I remove the macefee to save space on the hard drive?
    If you can help with these questions that would be much appreciate.
    I gues I just want to do the right thing with this new laptop and avoid deleting too much whilst savinbg space and having a protected machine I can restore.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    You should definetely create a set of Recovery Media - this is your copy of the operating system.  An example of when you may need this would be if you had to replace the Hard Drive - details on creating this can be found on the following HP document.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03481733&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en
    Regarding McAfee, you should uninstall this first before trying to install Norton - you can do this in the usual way by opening Windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry for McAfee and select Uninstall.  When the process has completed, restart the notebook before installing Norton.
    Regards,
