Recovery Installation not working

G62-340US.  i purchased the recovery disks from HP.  On disk #3 (installing Windows Home 7 Home Premium) it proceeds through the installation, but eventualy produces an error message:  "Windows could not complete the installation.  To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation."  I press "OK", it starts up again, and the same thing happens. Over and over...   Either with the disk in the drive and not in the drive.
I assume that I purchased the correct recovery disks, and I have not chhanged any of the hardware on the laptop.  The recovery process wipes clean the HD, so there's no possibility of a corrupt file (from before) getting in the way of the installation of Windows.
I'm stuck!

Hi,
Here's an alternative option you could try.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create a 'retail' Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook - this is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  The Windows Image source is Digital River.
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit.
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

    HP Pavilion dv6-6181TX
    Product No. A3U49PA
    Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64
    (but i upgraded it to windows 7 ultimate)
    System Recovery is not working From HP Recovery Manager. so i cant restore my laptop to its original factory condition. (Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium).
    so when i restart my computer and press Esc and then choose F11 i get this message :
    "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the
    cause. To fix the problem:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.

    Had the C partition been split/shrunk to form a new partition previously?
    Does disk management show the HDD as basic or dynamic? (Start>Right-click Computer>Manage>disk management on the left).
    If it has been switched to dynamic (Windows does this automatically when more than 4 partitions are present on the disk), then the F11 recovery partition won't function until it is restored to basic, but I would like to confirm that is the scenario before providing those steps.
    The Disk management shows that my HDD as Dynamic, what should i do then if this is the case and the possible solution to my problem?
    please help me & Thank you for your time,
    This question was solved.

    If you have more than 4 partitions you will need to delete the extra partition/partitions, then convert the hdd back to Basic.

  • I have a macbook pro with no OS, original install discs and internet recovery is not working.  Can I purchase an OS (like snow leopard) and install that onto macbook?

    I have recently purchased a macbook pro 2011 that does not have original install discs.  The macbook does not currently have an OS and internet recovery does not work.  Am I able to purchase an OS like Snow Leopard that actually has a disc and install it onto this macbook?

  • MSI installer not working MSI 5.0 Windows 7

    Hello I am trying to get MSI installer to work and when I go to install anything that has the Windows Installer Package it opens Notepad in a scrambled message. I have tried numerous avenues to no avail (regedit,copy paste regedit, troubleshooters, sfc/scannow,
    command prompt etc.) I tried to choose the file association of MSIexec in System32 and it just opens this 
    I have tried what is suggested in this forum
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/f699e632-54ba-443b-85df-269a7fd6cf1a/windows-installer-not-working?forum=w7itprogeneral and regedit says:
    I have tried this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso1 and didn't work
    I have tried changing C :\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe /V in regedit and that didn't work
    I have searched event viewer and all that's in there is a warning and information of successful installs and uninstalls.
    I have tried %windir%\system32\msi.dll version in Command prompt and it says that the system cannot execute the specified program
    I am thinking it is just a matter of finding the correct file association that the windows installer can use to install that program but I am unable to find that! 
    I did a system restore but the only good restore was from earlier today and it still just opens notepad. before I did the restore I went into services and the computer couldn't find the file (windows installer) so I did a restore and now it at least sees
    the file and I can start the service.
    Can I please get some help fixing this? would uninstalling MSI and re-installing it work? I have been searching forum after forum and nothing has yet worked.

    Hi ingenuities, 
    Try importing these reg file under Safe mode.
    If you really need this work, I am supposing the only way is to try importing them manually, if any value key is using by process, use process monitor to filter out these processes and shut them down.I monitored values under MSI.package seems like no
    value was using by system.
    I exported msi.package and patch to text, it is from a clean Windows 7 intallation。

  • Mac Os X lion installation not working.

    os x lion installation not working, when the installation bar comes to 99% a pop up widow tells me that the installation has failed and the file could be damaged or something. But i just downloaded it from appstore. Any ideas?

    Here's an update on my problem:
    Called Apple Support the other day. They basically told me that they can't help, because this is a problem of misconfiguration and that those kinda things weren't covered. Still the person on the line gave me a hint, I should look for leftovers of previously installed software in /Library/LaunchDaemons/ and /Library/LaunchAgents/ .
    Well, that did the trick. In one of the folders I found "net.shrew.iked.plist". This file obvioulsy belongs to the ShrewSoft VPN client. I removed it and the built-in client works again.
    I reinstalled ShrewSoft one more time to see if it works without the mentioned plist-file...needless to say it wouldn't connect anymore, but that's alright with me - for now.

    The original Toshiba HD(250G, sata1) of my laptop( ) crashed.

    After cd1 and cd2 finish installing it ask to take it out then restart, I do so, but when it comes to setup setting of windows.
    An error message come out says " Windows Setup could not configure Windows on this computer’s hardware”
    It restart and says again " Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on theis compuiter, restart the installation."

  • I have compaq cq50. was VISTA upgraded to WIN 7. Recovery disks not working. BOOTMGR compressed

    will not boot up.  I have 2 recovery disks, the 1 of 2 will take but 2 of 2 disk doesnt run.

    Hi:
    If you are trying to use the Vista recovery disks and they are not working, and you can read your Vista product key on the bottom of your notebook, then you can make your own Vista installation disk by reading the guidance below.
    If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
    Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
    Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
    The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
    I selected No, make the ISO file.
    It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
    I tested both of them an my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
    When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.
    http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-microsoft-windows-v....
    After you successfully install Vista, you can then install the drivers from your PC's support and driver page.

  • Recovery disks not working

    I have an HP G60 Notebook PC, Product # NW144UA#ABA
    The computer got a virus and couldnt open Microsoft Office applications so I wanted to restore it to the original factory settings. I created my own set of recovery disks (used 3 DVD-Rs). I started the recovery manager and followed the steps, the first disk worked just fine then popped out and asked for the second. I tried to put in the second disk (correctly labeled from when it was made) and it said the disk is not good, please insert disk #2. I have tried this several times and same thing. Now I can't even get back to the regular computer. When I turn it off or cancel the recovery manager it comes up with a black screen saying BootMGR not working (or something.. cant remember exact words). At one point in trying the recovery manager I got an "error 1002 please contact HP" message. I have tried to keep inserting disk #2 and after 20 times it still wouldnt work. I have tried to call HP customer service and was told I could buy recovery disks, but shouldn't my disks work? Please help!!!

    Hi:
    Sometimes the recovery disks don't work that you make for one reason or another.
    Unfortunately, there are hundreds of posts like yours and unfortunately, very few answers.  I have yet been able to help someone get their recovery disks to work.
    So, I see that you may have two options (only one if you can't read all 25 characters of the Vista product key on the bottom of your PC:
    1. Order a set of HP recovery disks and hope they work.
    2. Make your own plain windows vista installation media if you can read your vista product key.
    This will NOT restore your PC to factory condition. It will only install the operating system, and you will need to either have your program installation files and also use whatever downloads and drivers are available from your notebook's support and driver page.
    Start from page 289 at the link below.

  • Recovery disks not working for Satellite L350

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L350 which I bought some years ago
    Originally it was a vista home premium laptop and I opted for the Toshiba windows 7 upgrade and its been pretty much trouble free .
    However recently something went a bit weird and things just were not working well (it would not always log you out and never seemed to shutdown correctly) and various other applications did not run correctly.
    After a few uninstalls ,reinstalls, scans and Microsoft patches did nothing I decided to take the plunge and use the recovery disk.
    I had bought one from Toshiba when I got the machine originally and had made one myself before the upgrade to windows 7 and one again after.
    I still have the windows 7 upgrade dvds so I can apply them after if I had to start back on vista again.
    The only other big change has been a RAM upgrade to 4gb - I still have the original RAM if I need it but before all this there were no hardware issues reported and chkdsk was fine also.
    So to me it was the o/s that was the problem.
    I have now tried all the recovery disks and they all have the same problem reporting that imagex cannot uncompress the second file image as it is corrupt at block 90 I dont have this actual message to hand
    but can update later.
    I cant see that Im doing anything wrong as all i do is put the dvd in the drive and restart the laptop with F12 to boot off the recovery DVD and follow the on screen commands.
    Have you any reports of such of this previously or am I doing something stupid?
    Thanks

    Thats very strange that al recovery discs show the same error message. As far as I know when you start recovery image installation the HDD will be formatted, new partitions created, recovery image copied on second HDD partition and as last step is recovery image installation.
    >I had bought one from Toshiba when I got the machine originally and had made one myself before the upgrade to windows 7...
    Have you tested both of them in the past?
    Generally speaking all you do is right. In my opinion the problem can be recovery image itself or maybe HDD has some failure on certain sectors.
    If you can obtain second HDD somewhere exchange it, set BIOS to default settings and test recovery installation again.

  • Recovery Drive not working on Twist while upgrading SSD

    Not working here means it seems doing nothing but format. I want to upgrade the 500G HDD with my old 160G SSD. and I am able to create a recovery drive via Recovery step by step, it prompted me to plugin a USB at least 8GB. I was using a 16GB USB and a full recovery media took about 7GB of the USB drive. Then restart computer with USB startup---select Troubleshooting---Reset PC---Fully Clean--- Auto restarted after resetting (took about 10 min, since I had done this couple times, it was about 1 hour at first time).
    Actual Result:
    1. if I keep the recovery media plugin, it will start resetting process mentioned above all over again.
    2. if unplug the USB, it will popup the drive selection (F12), choose SSD, popup drive selection again. (No system installed)
    Anybody has any ideas why? or similar issues? and How am I going to install preload Win8 on my SSD?
    Many thanks
    P.S. I checked the files in recovery drive. And saw install.swm, install2.swm, install3.swm, install4.swm, these are big files. and I think they are the installation files. so that means the recovery was created correctly. it just won't install it after reboot..

    Hi, bladechang
    It's a slightly different method, but I would recommend select Just my files rather than Remove everything when preparing to format and install Windows onto the SSD. The first option sounds different than what it actually is. This option will remove everything from the drive, reformat it and then try to install Windows onto it. It does remove all files. It may be easier to think of Just my files as "Quick format" and the Remove everything as "Full format." Also, removing everything can take a long time (some have reported 72 hrs!) All that being said, the first option may fully work and get your machine going again, even if it is not exactly how you planned. 
    Hope it helps,
    Adam

  • SCCM 2012 Primary Site Recovery - Packages not working

    I recently had to recover my Primary Site due to system crashes with blue screens on a daily basis. I was running ConfigMgr 2012 SP CU 3 and as part of the process I migrated from WS2008 R2 to WS2012 R2.
    After many hours of perusing the web, I found the solutions to deal with the common site recovery issues such as SSL certs, and the content validation due to an empty ContentLib folder. I also had the issue with the update source where it listed the old
    WSUS 3.2 server and the new one so the Site GUID was also updated.
    The issue I am currently experiencing is that packages new or old including software update packages are not working. When using the script by Peter VanWoulde it lists the Deployment State as Error. I have tried redistributing them, valdiating the content,
    removing distribution points, adding in new distribution points and even recreating some of the smaller packages to test but nothing is working.
    Application deployments are working without issues.

    At this point I am running out of ideas of where to look.

    Hi Xin,
    Sorry for not responding earlier but I did recover the site using the guidelines in the following article Backup and Recovery in Configuration Manager,
    however there were a few issues. 
    I did not have a ContentLib backup so all the content had to be redistributed and validated before that worked. None of my packages new or old would work. I eventually found an article from a forum member who also initiated a Site Reset as part of their
    recovery process and had no issues.
    So it seems that any packages are still not working and i think I narrowed it down.
    For some reason even though my DP and MP are all set for HTTPS, it is trying to access the HTTP path for SMS_DP_SMSPKG$. I am using PKI certs so this is the correct path but it should be HTTPS.

  • Windows 8 Recovery Disc not working

    Hi everbody,
    I have purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad T430.
    This laptop came with pre-installed Windows 7 Pro.
    However I want to use Windows 8 which I have a recovery disc for.
    I built in a SSD instead of the optical drive. So I don´t have a optical drive.
    On this SSD I want to run my OS.
    With a software from Samsung (manufacturer of my SSD) I was able to copy the Windows7 OS on my SSD.
    As I mentioned above I bought a laptop with installed windows 7 pro and a Windows 8 upgrade disc.
    Therefore I got the "Operating System Recovery Dis Windows 8 Pro. (OEM Activation 3.0 Required)".
    The problem now is that I have an upgrade disc but no optical drive.
    So I created an image of the upgrade disc and with this image I have created a bootable USB stick with the following program:
    http://www.chip.de/downloads/UNetbootin_34673960.html
    When I boot my laptop using the bootable USB stick everything seems to be working until to the point where I have to accept the EULA.
    So I chose a  language, and clicked on "I accept the agreements".
    When I want to click on "next" I got a error message "recovery failed".
    Please have a look on the following picture taken with my smartphone.
    The language used in this picture is german as i live in Austria.
    Link to image
    Do you know how I can upgrade to Windows 8?
    Can you tell me why the upgrade disc is not working?
    Best Regards,
    Philipp Stöger

    Dear Phisto, from your description i cannot tell you anything more about the disk apart from the obvious, that it seems to be incomplete without the other 11 disks of the set. Did you buy this disk from Lenovo, from Microsoft, or is it something that came from unofficial channels? If it is the latter maybe you should not try to install it...
    Now for cloning the SSD back to your HDD. The software that came with your Samsund should be able to do that as well. If not, then if your HDD is a Western Digital you can download and use Acronis WD edition from WD's site, it's free and will do the cloning. Otherwise you should use a free tool, Clonezilla is one of them and of course there are more.
    As for the location of your various drives, I would suggest to keep things really really basic if you want to troubleshoot effectively, so the best thing would be to return the system to a "factory" condition, of course with the SSD in place of the HDD. You don't know which parameter is causing you trouble at this point. So, of course it would be easier to use an external DVD drive (and you should try it!), butif it fails as well you should try also the other approach.
    I hope you solve this.
