Recovery manager, Will factory setting recovery replace all the deletes i had from bad sector?

Hello, i am curious about recovery manager and what it does.
recently i had my old hdd removed because of increase of bad sectors. i tried to use system recovery dvd i orderd from hp web site but it did not work on my new hdd so i had to clone my old hdd to use it. while i was using old hdd i had to run chkdsk alot and i saw few of window/systm/... listed as problem and it was removed(?).
I want to make sure my new hdd has no problem after recovering to factory setting. (I raned chkdsk before i clone my old hdd)
will recovery manager replace all those bad sector delete i saw on chkdsk?
This question was solved.

@Forblindmice ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.  The recovery will not recover lost sectors.  Any data that has been lost is lost unless you run with some type of special recovery software and this is not always a win.
Once you have  a bad sectors unless you can use some type of hardware low level format software to remap the sectors they will still be there.
What I would do is pull the drive and put it in another computer and get all your data off it. 
Once you get what you can off the drive then you can see if there is a software out there to low level format and then try getting recovery media from HP phone support to reload your OS.
I would consider replacing the drive though.  If you are starting to get bad sectors this is usually mechanical and will mean a total crash some time soon.
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer? Will iTunes automatically updated without all the deleted songs, or it will indicate 'missing location'? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs?

    What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer?
    Background: I found it easier to identify duplicated songs in windows explorer as the songs will be renamed .... 1.mp3, thus enabling me to remove the duplicated songs; unlike in iTunes where I know the trick of showing duplicate songs, but you don't know which one is the one with 1 at the end of the file name.
    Will iTunes automatically update the library without all the deleted songs, or will it indicate 'missing location' songs? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs by highlighting them all and delete all at one go?
    Thanks.

    One way is to use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on start up.
    Another option is with a set of Lost & Found playlists.
    Lost & Found
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Ctrl-A to select them and Shift-Delete to remove them.
    You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.

  • Will my next sync replace all the contacts I just deleted?

    That's basically my question. This is for an iPhone 4 running iOS6. I just deleted a bunch of contacts on the phone. So when I next sync, will they all get put back on?
    My contacts are currently sycned to iCloud via a Hotmail account.

    No, i had this problem, as i shared Apple ID with my brother when i first got my phone, and i deleted all his contacts out of my phone not knowing they would delete out of his, and he tried to get them back that way, but it wouldn't work as they had already been deleted. And when you back something up, all its doing is storing the items on you device, and if you have deleted the contacts, there not there to be stored.

  • I have a sequence on tcp that is Standard Def. I have a new set of files in High Def that match the old files. I would like to replace all the SD footage with the HD footage. Anyone know of a workflow to do this task?

    I have a sequence on tcp that is Standard Def. I have a new set of files in High Def that match the old SD files. I would like to replace all the SD footage with the HD footage. Anyone know of a workflow to do this task?

    Do a media manage of the sequence converting the files to the appropriate HD format making the clips offline.  Then simply reconnect the offline clips to the HD clips.  There may be issues in the file names, but they can usually be worked out either with the naming options in media manager or renaming your hd files.  There are many utilities that allow you to batch rename files. 

  • My iphone is synced and backed up with another computer which is now broken... and i have synced it with a new one but when i want to do anything itunes says all data will be erased and replaced with the current itunes library?what do i do?

    my iphone is synced and backed up with another computer which is now broken...i have synced it with my new computer  but it hasnt transfered anything over to itunes and when i try to add anything to my iphone it says all data will be erased and replaced with the current itunes? i dont want to lose all my apps and music.... i dont know how to go around this problem? i want to back it all up and sync it properly to my new computer so that is now my main computer , so i can add ring tones and music etc with out it erasing everything ive got. any answers would be great and muchly appreciated. thanks, im not sure what operating system my iphone has either.....

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
    It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
    You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone.  Authorize your computer for your itunes account 
    About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
    Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
    When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars.  So do NOT sync yet.  This is why a backup copy is so important.
    Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
    When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data.  Choose it.
    If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync.  They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
    When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup.

  • HT201412 my device was updated and now is not working anymore, it is in recovery mode all the time

    my device was updated and now is not working anymore, it is in recovery mode all the time.
    what can i do???

    Delete the shortcut you have at the moment and then create a new one as follows:<br><br>
    #Use Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.<br><br>
    #Right click '''firefox.exe''' and choose '''Send To''', then '''Desktop (Create shortcut)'''<br>
    Bear in mind that you're using an BETA version of Firefox and you're likely to encounter similar issues in the future.

  • I duplicated a picture and now iPhoto (11) is cloning that picture replacing all the other photos and only when I click directly on them I can see the real picture! How can I solve the problem without losing any saved picture? Shall I re-install? Thanx

    I duplicated a picture selecting CMD and D but, suddenly, iPhoto (latest version '11) started cloning that picture and replacing all the other photos with it.
    Only when I click directly on one photo I can open it and see the real picture it is.
    But the preview is always the duplicated one...
    I tryed to duplicate another picture just to see if it turned out ok but the only changement was the duplicated picture!
    I started repeating the second duplicated one instead of the previous one but my issue remained the same.
    So, how can you help me to solve this problem without losing any saved picture?
    Shall I re-install iPhoto completely?
    Thank you very very much in advance!!

    As Larry says, restoring the back up is the fastest and best solution. Otherwise:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort?

    I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad to use while traveling back and forth from the U.S. to Australia, and within Australia. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality of the iPad in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort? I have never owned an Apple product before -- I'm a newby!

    Aside form the limitation of LTE to the 700MHz and 2.1GHz bands (which rules out LTE in Europe I gather, at least as it stands now) the new iPad should let you use a GSM 3g/2g/edge network anywhere.  The CDMA Verizon model will only be able to use it's native CDMA radio band in the USA (that radio will be locked to Verizon), but it's international GSM radio is the same as the AT&T model.
    Keep in mind though that by far the cheapest option when abroad is to take advantage of free wifi as much as possible (well, that is always the cheapest option, since it is free).  I know several people who have taken their wifi-only iPads and iPad2s to Europe and said they did not find the lack of 3G really inconvenient at all as most towns had plenty of free or cheap wifi access all over the place.
    And in 3 years, your iPad will be at least 2-3 generations behind, LTE will have already been replaced by 5G or whatever the next new generation of cellular ends up being named (and the "young" kids will be wondering what the heck 3G even means or meant - dang that stuff was from the olden days!), and you can pitch that ancient piece of technology and start things all over again

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • I need a function that will go through and encrypt all the strings

    I want to use one way enryption and need a function that will
    go through and encrypt all the strings in my password column in sql

    I also need a function that compares a test password string

    advice in this?

    Apparently it's not as simple as I thought. My first instinct
    was
    update yourtable set password = '#hash(password)#'
    but that will crash
    This is inefficient, but you only have to do it once.

  • I recently replaced the hard drive in my computer.  I am afraid to download and reinstall itunes again because I worry about losing all the music I had on my iPod Nano.  Any suggestions for solutions?

    I recently replaced the hard drive in my computer.  I am afraid to download and reinstall itunes again because I worry about losing all the music I had on my iPod Nano.  Any suggestions for solutions?

    The dragging does not work:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discused here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to your compouter and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Nothe that the backup that iTunees makes does not include synced media like apps nd music.

  • My husband recently tried to sync my ipod to itunes and in the process he managed to loose all the photos I had stored on the ipod.  When I go to my pictures folder on my (Dell) laptop there is now a folder called ipod photo cache.  How do I view?

    My husband recently tried to sync my ipod to itunes and in the process he managed to loose all the photos I had stored on the ipod.  When I go to my pictures folder on my (Dell) laptop there is now a folder called ipod photo cache.  How do I view these files? They are now show as ITHMB files!

    Those photos taken or bumped photos should bi in the iPod's Camera Roll album
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. Note however, that the the backup that had the photos may have been overwritten by a subsequent backup that did hot have the photos on the iPod.See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - Have you looked on the computer? Maybe they were imported to the computer and then deleted from the iPod. Since the photos were not synced to the iPod they are not in the iPod Photo Cache folder .

    Hello gogreenj14,
    If you had iTunes Match updated with all of your non iTunes purchased content already, then yes, when you enable iTunes Match with the following article it will have all the content that has been uploaded to iTunes Match will be available for download.
    iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913
    Open the latest version of iTunes on the computer you intend to add. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
    Sign in with the Apple ID you use with iTunes Match.
    Choose Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
    Click the Add This Computer button.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID password.
    iTunes will automatically begin scanning your computer's library for matches.
    A status indicator will allow you to track progress. You may also manually pause and resume the process at any time by clicking the Stop or Start button.
    Once iTunes has completed matching and uploading your iTunes library, your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
