Recovery Media Creation no longer available on New laptop

I have just received a new G255 laptop. First thing I did was try to create recovery media. HP Recovery Manager states "Create a set of recovery media for your system (Recovery Partition has been removed - The Recovery media creation option is no longer Available)
It also states Recovery Partition has been removed, but there is a Recovery (D drive showing with 2.14GB free of 19.6 GB
The recovery partition, when clicked on is empty, even after making hidden files show.
Is there any way to get recovery media, ot should i return the laptop?

Hi:

Error message when trying to create Recovery Media Creation

I have a HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC 15-n235sa and when trying to create my Recovery Media Creation on a 32GB Flash drive it comes up with the error mesage We are experiencing errors in recovering media creation. Please try again.
This is after.46% of Verify Disk section. So it is almost there.
I have tried 4 or 5 times with the same result.
Help!

Please try another USB Flash Drive or DVDs. USB Flash Drives indicating Windows 8 compatibility may not work for creating the recovery image. If you are still unable to create your HP Recovery Media, please contact official HP support in your region / country, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to see if HP Recovery Media is available for your computer. When you request this media, indicate that it is free because the HP Recovery Manager failed to work properly.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Error in recovery media creation

I bought a new HP laptop recently.Its a HP PAVILION G6 2320TX.I ran the Recovery Media Creation .After the initial setup and burning of files onto my first dvd,when it comes to verify, i am getting an error that states "We are experiencing errors in recovery media creation. Please try again.” ,and the disk ejects out.
I use SONY DVD-R media so,i guess there shouldn't be any problem with the brand.I tried doing this a couple of time and each time i got the same error.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Akash.

Hello Akash_Sanu,
I see that you are having problems with the recovery discs creation on your computer.
I would suggest trying a different brand of disc, here is a link that explains the recovery discs process. If you continue to have problems with the disc creation I would suggest contacting HP support for a set of recovery discs.
Here is a link to the contact options for HP support.

"Recovery Partition has been Removed" Message in Recovery Media Creation

HP Pavilion G4 2205tx - C5j09PA#UUF
Windows 8 64-bit
"Recovery Partition has been Removed" Message in Recovery Media Creation.
i bought My new HP pavilion G4 laptop just two days ago and didnt change any thing in two Drives named Drive C: for windows and D: for HP Recovery.
now i want to Make a Recovery Disk with HP Recovery Manager Software.
but it show a Massage: "Recovery Partition has been Removed" in Recovery Media Creation Section.
in My Computer Recovery Partition is Almost Full (3.26G of 25.5G is Free) . so i think Recovery files present there .
i haven't any Access to HP for Buy recovery disk or Call Support.
Thanks

I don't know why your PC is saying your partition is gone - you're right, it doesn't look gone. I do know that if you use the Support Assistant to make backup copies of your Recovery Disks and Then instruct it to remove the recovery partition to give you more space on the hard drive, it will delete the HP factory image of Windows 8 from the recovery partition and leave the normal Windows repair tools behind.
There are tools however that allow you to create your own recovery partition complete with these Windows repair tools and a new image of your instalation so you can restore from that. You could use this tool: Windows 7/8 - OEM Recovery Partition Creator found here: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/21978-Windows-7-8-OEM-Recovery-Partition-Creator but thats a lot of work and it would be faster and easier just to backup your data and restore from your HP recovery disks you made from Support Assistant. If you didn't make the disks, HP may opt to send you a copy.. they do not normally do this but I have read that some people have good luck getting a free copy of the media from HP.. otherwise they want you to buy the recovery disks ($40.00) . I suppose it depends on the exact circunstances of your situation.
Another solution is to use Macrium Reflect Free Edition to ghost or clone your system. You can then restore your whole system even with your custom programs installed, to the exact state it was in when you made the backup image. ( this may take several dvd's) I suggest you go this route because restoring your system with Macrium Reflect is Much faster than restoring from the HP Recovery Disks. Even if you do obtain another copy of the Recovery Disks, you should use this tool to make another backup that you can customize to your liking. Your re-installs will be faster, they will already have your chosen software installed, and you will save wear and tear on your HP Recovery Disks. You can then safely delete the recovery partition to gain back that space on your hard drive (since you cannot access it anyway, you won't need that space being taken up). BUT.. you cannot restore from UEFI Mode which is what HP ships with. You have to go into your Bios settings, and switch to Legacy Bios mode, (which disables Secure Boot) FIRST or else the Macruim recovery boot disk will not load to install the recovery image. After the system re-installs you can go back into bios settings and disable Legacy bios and re-enable secure Boot if you like. ( Windows 8 will load in both UEFI mode with secure boot enabled or Legacy bios mode.. it's your choice. UEFI mode will load faster but it will cause problems if you want to dual boot the system with another OS) Hope this helps.

HP Recovery media creation troubles-Can't run

Hi,
I have a hp pavilion dv6 notebook, operation with windows 7 64bits. I'm trying to create a recovery media with a usb drive, i followed the recovery instructions given by HP support. The creation began and everything was fine, till the step of device verification, there's an error message at 31%. The message is:
" we are experiencing errors in recovery media creation. please try again"
I tried again, but same result.
I tried to change the "User account control settings" to "nevery notify" as recommended by HP recovery process instructions, but same result.
In hp recovery manager, the system recovery option can not be highlighetd (Disabled: please use recovery media to recover your system).
Trying to look for a solution in forums, I found that trying to create the media in safe mode can resolve the problem, so tried it. When i run the HP recovery media creation under safe mode, its window is displayed with front screen saying: "Please insert battery. Battery must be installed and the computer must be connected to the power adapter to continue this process". I wish to specify that my battery is inserted and the power adapter too. So why it tells me that ???!!!!
I tried to reactivate (D:Recovery) volume, but it is not highlighted, so I can't do it.
Trying to run recovery process by pressing F11 at startup, give me a windows boot manager screen with the follonwing:
"windows failed to start. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to fix the problem:
1.insert windows installation discand restart.
2.choose language. 3. repair your computer.
if you do not have this disc. contact system administrator or computer manufacturer for assisatnec.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0x0000225
info: an error occured while attempting to read the boot configuration data."
Tell me please how to create my recovery usb drive in this case, to finally recover my computer to factory state because I think I have a serious problem with it, specialy startup.
The disk management tell me that all the computer partitions are healthy and dynamic, all are NTFS, except HP_Tools which is FAT32. I also created a partition (F of 440 Go/910 Go when I bought the laptop. In case it May help...
Thank you in advance

When you created the extra partition your hdd was converted from Basic to Dynamic_which breaks the Recovery partition function. It also breaks the ability to create Recovery Media from the partition.
You will need to use Disk Management to delete the extra partition. You will also need to convert the hdd back to Basic- which will require a little more work.
Use Option 1 here to convert to Basic:

My Pavillion g6 Notebook PC C5T59EA#BH4, Sends Error while preforming recovery media creation set !

Hi,
While I am preforming a media creation set (using Discs) the process goes well until it reaches the verifying phase and it sends an error after a while saying that it can't verify my media (I've tried it twice and it still the same).
Now I tried to make in Safe Mode but when I try to launch the Recovery Media Creation it tells me to install Battery while it's installed.
I tried to contact HP but the server didn't recognize my product and sent me to US/Canada Server, but They Couldn't offer help, I can't call HP cause it's so expensive and can't afford that credit to call them !
Help If Possible !

Hello Nakamura011. I understand you've been unable to create recovery media.
Have you tried using a different brand of discs?
Have you had any trouble burning any other media?
What is the full name of the notebook? I can't seem to locate any information for that product number. You could also verify that the product number is correct. This document can show you where the product number is located.
You could also try using a USB thumb drive to create the Recovery Media. This article contains the instructions for creating the USB media.
If this is helpful or you want to say thanks make sure to click the white star under my name to give me Kudos. I really appreciate it!
I'll keep an eye out for your reply. I hope you have a great day.

Recovery media USB no longer working properly

Hi
I made a Recovery media USB using the creator last year. I tried to use this to yesterday to restore my laptop to factory setting to be certain of removing any viruses/malware. I pressed F12 after booting and followed the Toshiba wizard to choose the Recover to out-of-box state option. However I eventually got the message "There is not enough space on HDD recovery. You need an additional 13.0 GB to copy these files. HDD recovery - space free 10.2 GB, total size 10.3 GB."
I thought this was strange because I was using the recovery media of the USB not the hard disk. Also there was over 50GB free anyway. So I proceeded to rerun the wizard and chose to erase the hard disk and all partitions so as to free up the HDD space it was requesting. This took about 24 hours. I reran the wizard and got the same warning öf not enough space on HDD recovery. Again this did not make sense because the hard disk was now totallly wiped and there should be about 300GB available on a 320GB formatted disk.
I then reran the wizard, chose system recovery options and system repair. It then asked for installations discs which of course I do not have. The problem now is that booting from the USB now always asks for the installation discs, it does not go back to the Toshiba wizard. When I checked the USB drive I noticed that it had been modified when trying this repair, eg. files BCD, BCD.Backup.0001 in the BOOT directory were modified on 12 July 2014. Is there anyway I can make it go back to the Toshiba wizard?
Thank you
Mike

It also says on the screen:
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000098
Info: The Windows Boot Configuration Data does not contain a valid OS entry.

WhatsApp no longer available for new iPhone downloads?

My factory-unlocked iPhone 4, bought straight from the Apple Online Store, was delivered to me on Friday. I tried downloading WhatsApp from the App Store but the app couldn't be found there. I tried going through the WhatsApp site in the hope that the site would direct the download through the App Store but that didn't work either. So I then tried to sync the programme file, which was working on another iPhone, to my iPhone through iTunes but that won't work either. The transfer goes through to the phone but I keep getting an error saying "WhatsApp failed to install." Am I to conclude that WhatsApp is no longer available for the iPhone for new downloads? The WhatsApp website still has the iPhone listed as one of their supported devices but the installation just won't work. Has their policy changed? If so, is there any other free multi-platform instant messenger that I can use for contacts who are BlackBerry and Android users? I haven't any issues downloading any other apps at all and the phone works beautifully. Please someone help me with this one! Thank you.

That's odd... I found it just fine.

Recovery Media Creation to USB fails: "CD Creator has stopped working"

Bought new HP desktop system this week. Came with Windows 8, upgraded to 8.1 and then tried to create recovery media onto a USB stick. Followed all the steps in the HP Support article (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03481733) but at point 9 the copying files stage doesn't complete (progress never gets off 0%) and instead a pop up error message appears saying "CD Creator has stopped working". The only option is to cancel. What should I do next?

Harvec, welcome to the forum. When requesting help you should always include the make/model of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of them. I believe that you should have made the System Recovery Discs before updating to Win 8.1. The Discs are made using the OS that came on the computer when it is new. The only thing that you can do at this point is order the Discs from HP.

Re: How to install Windows from recovery media on a new hard drive?

Immediately after a Windows update, my computer would not restart. It said disk error.
I could not start it from the recovery media and F8 would not work. I bought and installed a new hard drive. Now when I put in the recovery media to install Windows on the new hard drive, it gives an error message.
What can this be? Should I be able to install Windows from the recovery media?
It is Windows 7 and the laptop is Satellite A500, 64 bit.

Hello
Generally speaking you can install recovery image on every compatible HDD so thee should not be any problem about it.
Please tell us what happen when you start recovery installation. Which error message is shown?
Is new HDD recognized in BIOS. Before you start recovery installation set BIOS to default settings.

Create recovery media external hard drive wiped?

HP Envy 17 Notebook 17-k206naL0G03EA#ABU Hello, First time poster. First time HP owner. Hope someone can help me. Have not long had my new laptop and was directed by the HP support assistant to create recovery media.I have done this but used my external hard drive. It now seems that all the files I had on my external drive have gone. Is there some way i can return my external hard drive to its previous state and recover all my files? Cheers Sam.

Drives that you buy usually are formatted MSDOS (aka FAT or FAT32) for PC's and Mac's can read and write to this format, unless you specifically formatted the drive in Disk Utility to OS X Extended (journaled) so I'm guesing here is was "MSDOS" already from the begining and didn't change.
Your hardware description isn't specific enough, so please update with the latest machine and operating system so we know.
I'm suspecting something is wrong with your USB port(s) as you seem to have a lot of drives and perhaps your computers ports are worn out and this is resulting in a error message as the computer isn't making a good connection on the hardware as it appearing for many drives.
Also if your using port powered drives you may want to use a powered USB hub, as Apple has limited the power drain on USB and this could be a issue.
Of course the obvious, the new cable is bad.
