Recovery manager failed

Hello, i have a compaq presario cq56 with win 7. Trying to restore the laptop to factory settings, i created recovery disks fine,(apparently there are no files on the partition to do a recovery only had the laptop 4 months) restarted laptop as asked but got this error message
status : 0xc000000f
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccesible .
Changed order of bootup from HDD to CD/DVD rom as suggested on forums but still getting the same error message.
Could anyone shine any light on this, i would be most grateful.

Hi,
Shutdown the notebook. Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu. Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory. Post back with the details of any error messages.

HP Recovery Manager failed. Error code = FFFFFF9

Hello
I used the HP recovery manager to create a backup of my exisiting laptop onto an external hard drive because I selected the 'minimized image recovery option'. The laptop finished and now I am trying to restore the files. But when it gets to 96% is stops and I get:
HP Recovery Manager failed. Error code = FFFFFF9
I click next and I am back to square one. I have tried many times. I really need these files (~40GB) they were very important to me.
Please help.

UPDATE:
I have resolved this.
After looking on my computer I have noticed that despite the error message popping up at 99%, the files are indeed there in their own folder called "System Recovery Files".
To access the folder I used this video:

15T Recovery Manager FAIL

I am trying to use the HP Recovery Manager to do a Minimal Restore of the drive to purge unwanted trial software. It is now a full day beginning at 10AM EST until just now, and the utility has failed multiple times (both with and without drive security disabled in the BIOS) with an error stating that I should contact HP Taiwan CTO to resolve the problem.
REALLY?
These instructions are useless. The reason they're useless is because the minimal install option is only presented when booting from external (USB) media.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03489643#N789
At this point, the only option presented to me in the recovery manager from the USB media is a full restore requiring a complete drive repartition, a 5-some-odd hour process I performed earlier today thinking that I had selected the 'minimal restore' only to realize that the stated function does not work.
Suffice to say I'm just a tad put off. Please respond promptly.

I really appreciate your willingness to troubleshoot and try these suggestions. Yes, I know you're working with Windows 8 and the Cyberlink Utility's download page says it is for Windows 7 and earlier versions. Cyberlink has been producing the Recovery partition and media for several years. I was hopeful that the firmware would still be the same since it is such a low-level application. I don't want to lead you on any type of "wild goose chase" or anything, though. I just want to help you get to a working Windows 8 state again, minus the trial/bloatware.
In the interest of saving you time, my next suggestion would be to download and put a clean Windows 8 64-Bit ISO (retail, non-HP-OEM) onto a USB flash drive. That ISO won't include any of the trial/bloatware, that we're trying to avoid. The only drawback is it also won't include any of the HP drivers or software. You'll have to download those from your Driver Page.
If I could get your product number, I'll link you directly to your particular model's driver page. You can find the product number on an HP label on the bottom of the computer.
Windows 8 64-Bit ISO link
Rufus- Program that makes USB flash drives bootable. It does mention Windows 7 on that site, but the program isn't just for Windows 7. It can be used with any ISO (Linux, Mac OS, all versions of Windows, etc.).
SIDE NOTE: I found this link a few minutes ago in my research, which confirms that it seems to be an issue with the media. He had a refurbished computer, upgraded the hard drive and ran into an issue using the HP Recovery media. The user mentions resolving it by using cloning software to clone the drive and it installed without issue.

HP G62-B50SA Recovery Manager failed and can't restart Windows 7

Yesterday I launched the recovery manager to re-install an out of the box version of Windows 7.
At 1% of the installation I got the following error Error code: 0xe0ef0003
After this error, I could not start Windows anymore BOOTMGR missing
I tried to press escape and then F11, but once again the process failed
I had also created recovery CD's ( in Total I have 4 ), I try to reinstalled with them by going to F9 and putting the CD to be boot first.
I get the following error "The system recovery media does not support this computer. You are not able to restore this system with the media".
What should I do next?
Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi,
Here's an alternative option you could try.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the entire 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 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 ( Note: You may want to de-select the additional software offerings during the installation of 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 64 bit.
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.
http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
Additional drivers and software you may need can be found Here.

"hp recovery manager failed error code 0xeffffff08"

Have a HP Folio 7 months out of warranty that suddenty BSOD while using EXCEL. It would boot into Safe Mode but Blue Screen of Death everytime try normal boot. No new drivers and did restore point for week back to no avail. Finally thought I would go ahead anad do a complete SYSTEM RECOVERY with the partition made for that. Get 11% complete then Subject Error message or just BSOD. Now laptop is worthless to me. Did complete testing of harddrive solid state memory and system memory with 100% successful test results. No errors. Tried installing Windows 8 from media with no success. Had Symantec Backup but error drive does not exist when trying to restore. I have a second working Folio which I made a backup of and it refuses to install also. What can HP do for me at this point. Is there a way of fixing this Folio. All testing comes back "OK".

UPDATE:
I have resolved this.

Before it I install Windows XP pro, then I use system recover option in my system recover disc to restore my original OS .Afetr it I face some startup issue like "Boot device not found" & "Hard disk not exist" which was solved by F10->Hard disk test & Memory test.

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.

Recovery Manager / Windows 8 / Failing to restore / discs purchased from HP

Last week I purchased a set of recovery discs directly from HP.com. Before this my laptop was running perfectly fine, no issues at all. I purchased the discs in hope of restoring my laptop to its factory settings. After receiving the first set of discs I inserted the first disc and powered my laptop down and then powered it back up. I then proceeded to follow the instructions presented in the interface. I noticed when I got to the 4th disc, the "Application and Driver Recovery DVD", that the image was not taking at all. After such I received the following message in Recovery Manager: "In most cases, recovering the hard drive will fix your problems. If your problems continue, you may need to contact HP Support. Find HP Support contact information in your PC documentation".
From there I clicked on the "finish" tab that resulted in the laptop powering down but not rebooting. So I powered it back up manually where I received the infamous "Boot Device Not Found / Please install an operating system on your hard disk / Hard Disk (3F0) / F2 System Diagnostics" message. I was immediately alarmed. I proceeded to repeat the system recovery instructions once again. These were the instructions provided by HP along with the recovery discs.
Once again I received the same messages, the same results. So I immediately contacted HP support. The first agent I spoke to acted as if he had never heard of the "Boot Device Not Found" problem, which I now know is very common with HP notebooks. He diagnosed the problem as faulty recovery discs, thus he had a new set expedited to my home. I received them a few days later, the exact same set of discs and instructions. Of course I was feeling weary about things at this point. And as I expected I received the exact same results as I did with the prior set of discs.
So once again I contacted HP support where they looked into other problems, such as the health of my HDD. But the HDD passed both the quick check and the extensive check. Like I stated earlier, before I started the recovery process with the HP discs I had no problems with my laptop at all, including my HDD. So the agent had me go through the BIOS solution that I have seen others use on here, where legacy mode is enabled. This solution to failed.
I've also tried resetting the BIOS to it's default settings. I've also carefully removed my HDD and reseated it nice and snug. After doing so I ran the diagnostic tool, and once again the HDD passed with flying colors. HP support finally suggested, as I was already expecting, for me to have the laptop sent off to them to have it repaired. This is not an option. It was a perfectly running machine before I ran the recovery discs and it should be the same now.
But one thing I did notice from the get go, after receiving the first set of discs, and researching what the interface of the recovery manager should look like (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03489643), was the fact that the interface established by the windows 8 recovery discs that I received, look nothing like that found on the HP support site. It also never gave me the option, like it states in the instructions that were provided with the discs, to select either a "Factory Reset" or a "File Backup Program". The system recovery instructions are dated as Second Edition: March 2014 but the 3 operating discs are dated 2012 with the Driver disc being dated 2014.
Like I stated before, after running all 3 operating discs through, without interuption, the Driver disc does nothing when asked if I have a supplemental disc. With that all being said, has anyone ever been provided the wrong set of recovery discs directly from HP? Or do you know of another solution that might solve my dilema? Any help or suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.
I'm just wondering if I might have received a set of discs intended for let's say a desktop system running Windows 8 instead of the ones needed for a laptop.
The following is the name and part # of the discs that I received: "System Recovery DVD Windows 8 Recovery Media for Windows 8 Products". 1st disc: 708664-001, 2nd disc: 708665-001, 3rd disc: 708666-001, 4th disc (Application and Driver): 712189-B26.

Did the replacement disks work? I have the exact same problem, hours on the phone, no solution except send to them with more money
Nope. I gave up trying to get real support and a resolution from them. You'd think they would have at least a few local American reps to communicate with, but I guess HP is too **bleep** cheap to pay a few extra bucks to hire such people!
Anyhow I took a different route in restoring my operating system, thanks to an individual on another tech site. He gave me a link to an ISO file that at least got me back up and running.
And don't, whatever you do, send them anymore money. It's a complete ripoff, complete sham. After, like I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, communicating hours after hours with HP support over this matter I was told I would receive a full refund, even though the discs sold to me originally had already blown out my Windows 8 operating system. I reluctantly agreed. I just didn't want to deal with them anymore. Over a week had passed and I saw that my credit card had still not been credited like I had been promised by the HP rep. So I called back to see what was going on with it.
Once again I was put through the ringer, told to call this and that number, connected over and over with different Indian reps. Finally one, after speaking with her supervisor, told me I would NOT be receiving a refund because I had received and used the discs. I finally stopped being polite at this point. I blew up on the phone! These effers admittedly sent me the "copied wrong" discs not once, but 3 freaking times! Thus blowing out my operating system! Prior to being told I would receive a 100% refund, I offered to go directly to the HP distribution center where the discs originated from. Ironically it's only about 40 miles from my home. I just wanted to take my laptop there with me to find the correct software to restore my operating system. But they, the HP reps, would not allow such. Complete BS!
Thankfully I was able to contact my credit card company and was able to dispute the charge. When I told the "American" rep that I was having a problem with HP he started chuckling. He pretty much told me that HP was one of the most disputed companies out there. He took care of everything for me. I was able to get a full refund for the time being.
I will never buy another HP product again. And this is coming from someone who has not only an HP laptop but a 2 year old desktop as well, and not too mention my HP printer. After this ordeal they, HP, will never get a dime from me again!

Cause: The user has entered wrong password consequently for maximum number of times specified by the user"s profile parameter FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS, or the DBA has locked the account

I think you have specified a profile to the user for recovery manager where failed_login_attempts was set. Because of wrong password attempts the account got locked.
Unlocking of account should work.. Check whether you can login to sql*plus ?
Change the profile's FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS value and try once again.

Recovery Manager Failure: Failed to create EFI partition

Envy 15-1055SE
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
The original HD failed (500GB) and it was replaced it with a working unit of the same size (500GB). Since the hard drive was completely dead and I no longer had access to the recovery partition we installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on the new hard drive, assuming we could use my Windows Key and then just download all the applicable drivers from the HP site. Windows did install and was running, but since my key was not compatible and trying to get all the correct drivers for my specific notebook was essentially impossible I rush ordered the recovery discs form HP. Once received, we then attempted to restore the system using recovery media supplied by HP (590684-003 , WINDOWS 7 PREMIUM 64B + SUPP 2 RECOVERY).
Multiple attempts were made with the replacement HD raw, formatted or untouched from the last failure. I have also downloaded and used the Cyberlink Recover Discs Utility from the HP site that supposed to resolve Recovery Discs issues, but all attempts ended exactly the same way. After using and ejecting all three recovery discs Recovery Manager terminated with the same error:
Recovery Manager
The Recovery Attempt has Failed.
Select one of the following buttons
[Savelog] [Details] [Retry]
Pressing [Details] results in this message:
CTO ERRORFLG
Fail to Create EFI Partition...
Diskpart return error level [-2147024809]...
Retrying ultimately loops to the same error.
So, what now???

So I took your advice and called HP support. As you stated, they recommended new recovery discs, which they sent me and I recieved today. So I went through the whole process again and got the same error.
When I was on the phone with support they mentioned that I could have purchased a replacement drive from them for 2.5 times the price i paid for mine. And they didn't confirm if that would fix my problem or come with everything already installed.
At this point I'm at a loss, I don't have the money to pay that much for a "possible" solution, when I have a perfectly fine working new hard drive already.
There has to be a solution out there, as everyone I talked doesn't understand why the recovery disc/process isn't working. Can someone please provide some useful advise/suggestions?

Recovery Manager is failing to read backup files from disc

Product Name:
HP G56-129WM
Operating System:
Windows 7
I used the HP Recovery Manager (F11) to backup my files instead of using the Windows backup. The HP Recovery Manager back uped my files on 2 dvd discs. I then restored my laptop to factory settings. When I go to restore my files, it will only go to 40% and then ask me to insert backup DISC 2. When I insert the disc, it fails to read it. The disc pops out and I keep getting a request to insert DISC 2. What is going on?

I have a related but different issue with file back-up using HP recovery manager.
I have a Pavilion g7-1070us laptop that failed to start and simply displays a blue-screen with a blinking cursor (no error message). I could NOT get into safe-mode by hitting F8, but was able to activate the “HP recovery manager” by hitting F11. I was trying to back-up my files before triggering the system restore. It asked me what types of files to back-up, then scanned the computer for these files and was finalizing the files for back-up; then suddenly an error message showed up saying something like "No storage device detected. Make sure the removable disc drive is connected to computer". But I have both a DVD sitting in the optical drive and a USB drive attached!!!!!! Apparently the recovery manager doesn’t see them?
Can someone throw me a life-saver here? If I cannot recover my files, I cannot proceed with the system restore and I am forever stuck here!!!!!!
Please help!!!! Much appreciated!!

0xc000025 - Trying Recovery System via Recovery Manager: Windows failed to start.

Name: Pavilion dv4-2161nr
Prod. Number: WA691UA#ABA
Windows 7 64-bit
I splitted original Hard Disk Partition in three partitions. I formatted those two not containing O.S. Now I want to format the partition containing the O.S.
1) If I choose "Recovery System", will it format all three partitions? Or will it format the partition I choose to?
2) I tryed "Recovery System", but it failed. What can I do?
     2.1) I made Recovery DVDs when first used the PC. It loads but it never runs. It's like theres no AutoRun, and there's no ".exe" to execute when I open the first DVD Recovery via Windows Explorer. What am I missing?
     2.2) I tryed Recovery System via Recovery Manager. System shuts down and starts reiniciating but it gives the following message "Windows Boot Manger: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the problem. Status: 0xc000025. The boot selection failed because a required device is inacessible". What can I do?

I tested the Hard Drive and it passed 100% ok.
I tested the Memory and it passed 100% ok.
My PC runs a Win 7 Home Premium.
I've just run a Win 7 Ultimate CD Installation. It formatted the System Partition, but I couldn't get Win 7 installed because when I filled in my Product Key it said the Product Key wasn't right. Is it because Product Key for Win 7 Home Premium wouldn't work on a Win 7 Ultimate installation?
I hoped the Hard Drive would be ok after it had been formatted while I tryed Win 7 Ultimate installation. So I tryed once again to boot with HP Recovery Disc. It stopped at 23% once again. Until 23% there are all noises that get me thinking PC is running ok. When it get up to 23% all noises just stop.
Any ideias?
And thanks once again.
Rafael.
