Recovery partition not found

Hello,
My computer model is an HP p6330f. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit. I actually got this PC during May 2010 and just started getting to making the recovery discs. When I first  got it, I made a disc called the "repair disc" and I assumed it was the recovery disc. I recently found out that I was wrong and so when I try to make the recovery discs, I get this error message:
"The recovery partition was not found. Please exit Recovery Disc Creation and then try contacting HP Support."
This happens when I use the Recovery Disc Creation program. Right as I open it, I get that error. 

Hi,
You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.

  • "Recovery partition not found" when trying to creat recovery discs.

    I received the following error message when trying to create recovery discs for the first time "recovery partition not found"  HP G61 401SA Notebook and it is a couple of years old and has windows 7 as th OS.
    I specifically purchased DVD-R discs for the disc creation, which was advised from HP site was the only disc suitable.
    Am I doing something incorrect or is there an issue?
    Is this why I am unable to also create a back up - are the two things related?

    I did not know you are volunteer helpers - thanks goodness for people like you as trying to contact HP support for help was impossible and seemed like I kept going around in circles. No worries.    We are here to help.
    One more thing, could you advise on how much space the recovery might be approximately - I will need to make sure a USB has enough memory available. Take another look at the disk management window. The partition sizes are visible in the descriptions. My HP loaner has a large recovery partition at >20GB. That mean I had to use a 32GB usb flash drive Most others are smaller and a 16GB usb flash drive will suffice.

  • Active partition not found

    Bnathie,
    This error occurs if there is any problem with the partitions of the hard drive. You can boot with Recovery disk 1, go to command prompt and use disk part tool to resolve the problem.
    However, I would like to understand when this issue started to give better steps in detailed.

  • [SOLVED] Upgrade hard drive: Grub error 22: Partition not found

    I'm trying to move to a different hard drive.  I booted a live cd, created the partitions, formatted, and used "cp -a" to copy all the files over.  I also updated the fstab on the new drive, and now I would expect everything to work.  However, I can't get past grub.
    When I boot up, I get "grub error 22: partition not found".
    Here is my setup ("Arch Linux - SSD" is the entry not working):
    menu.lst:

    I solved this by using the uuid instead of the root:
    # (0) Arch Linux
    title Arch Linux - SSD
    uuid 128a4425-c9ae-433f-b604-5488d55a14b3
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdb3 ro vga=775
    initrd /boot/kernel26.img
    Also, I got "grub-install" to run much faster by removing the fd0 from the device map.

  • [PPC] new install fails to boot: root partition not found

    Hi,
    new ArchPPC installation on a iMac G3. It does not boot further than initramfs because root partition is not found. I get something like:
    Root device /dev/sda4 doesn't exist
    Attempting to created it
    ERROR: unable to determine major/minor number of root device /dev/sda4
    then I get a dropbox recovery console but keyboard doesn't work.
    I chroot in the installed system to change mkinicpio pata hook to ide, regenerated initramfs but that didn't help.
    Any guidance to diagnose and solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, sorry I just realized you replied to my thread.
    I don't have my mac at the moment, but I must have done something like :
    - boot the live CD
    - get the output of lsmod
    - copy this output to mkinitcpio.conf (the one that's on your HD), remove the autodetect hook
    - chroot into your HD setup
    - regenerate initramfs
    - update yaboot (is this really mandatory?)
    - exit chroot and reboot.

  • Recovery partition not getting detected

    Hi,
    i am using dv6-3000 series laptop.the problem is when i last formatteed my system, i moved my recovey partition inside another partition.

    Hi,
    If you've altered the Recovery Partition, it's extremely unlikely you will get it to work.
    There are Two options open to you.
    1. You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.  Using these to reinstall your operating system will also re-create the Recovery Partition on the HDD.
    Order HP Recovery Discs.
    2. An alternative option you could try is described below.
    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 an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same version that originally came with your notebook ) 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.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-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.

  • Satellite L745D-S4214 Does not boot; HDD recovery partition not working

    I tried to apply the recent windows 7 updates and my laptop no longer boots.  I tried to press F12 and select the HDD Recovery partition, but it does not boot regardless.  There is a message that it does not communicate to a specific device.  I believe the address called out was 0xc0000e9, but I am going by memory.  I never created a recovery CD because I thought I was covered by the HDD partitions.  This was purchased on 10/26/2012, so it should still be under warranty.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi I'm going to assume that your recovery works like mine and that the recovery partition is still good and not corrupted.
    Shut down your PC. Press F12 and select HDD recovery. Click enter. This should start the recovery from the hidden recovery partition.
    PS I would advise you to make the recovery discs or USB recovery Try this first.
    Perform a power cycle
    Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with boot problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
    Ensure the laptop is turned off.
    Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
    Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery).
    Unplug all wires or peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
    Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
    Reattach the battery.
    Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
    Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
    Try starting the computer.
    If your laptop starts normally now, you're done!

  • Recovery Partition Not Working

    Dear all,
    I have a Elitebook 8560w with a recovery partition. Last year, I installed a SSD drive in the 2nd slot and used a third-party program (Aoemei IIRC) to create new partitions (somehow, Samsung Magician malfunctioned on the first try). Afterwards, Samsung did work (do not ask me how) and the new partitions were created.
    This resulted in the following partitions.
    SSD Drive (C: ) containing my documents and such.
    HP_Recovery (D: ) containing the recovery.
    HP_Tools (E: ) containing Tools I guess.
    SYSTEM (F: ) containing system files.
    and 2 more SSD partitions for personal use.
    and my HDD (H: ) with all kinds of crap.
    Now I want to recover my drive again like every year but when I open up the Recovery Manager it tries to search in X: for the Recovery Manager.exe file and can't find this (it gives an error about Runtime something) and shuts down the PC afterwards.
    How can I make the recovery working again? Or, another way to format my PC. The PC came with a pre-installed version of Windows 7.
    Kind regards and thanks in advance,
    Robert

    You will have to delete the extra partition/partitions and convert the hard drive back to Basic.

  • Q190 Recovery Partition Not Working

    Hi,
    When I first got my Q190 I installed Windows 7. When installing it asked for drivers which I installed using the recovery partition already installed on the machine. I now want to re-install Windows 7, but the issue is that the recovery partition doesn't seem to be working and I cannot gain access to it.
    Does anybody know of a way to re-enable/re-install the partition?
    (You should know that installed at the moment is Linux Ubuntu, which installed fine without the need for extra drivers)
    Thank you
    - Luke

    hi DEADLYshroom93,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    If you have a preloaded Windows 7 OS and you didn't create a recovery disc using this method then you will need to check first if the recovery partition is still intact under Ubuntu's Disk Manager.
    If the Recovery Partition is still intact, use UltimateBootCD or Hiren's Boot CD to force boot from the recovery partition
    If the Recovery Partition is still intact but is corrupted / not bootable, you will need to:
    1. Check the unit for the Windows 7 sticker (product key)
    2. Download and burn a bootable Windows 7 ISO on this website (if you have a preloaded Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit, you will need to download the same for the unit to be activated via SLIC/SLP - see this guide)
    3. Use the product key that you obtained from Step 1 if necessary.
    Hope this helps

  • Recovery partition not worked

    I have a HP Pavillion 15
    I used epm to split my C Drive into two, after system restart o am unable to open windows an revovery error 0xc0000225 apear . I used windows dvd to install fresh copy and after system system start i want to recover the original widows from the recovery partition but again 0xc0000225 error apeared . I tried to make the recovery partition active from disk managment but no option to make it active ( just help option )
    I tried diskpart commands to make it active but msg shows that
    The selected disk is not a fixed MBR disk
    The active command csn only be used on fixed MBR disk
    could you please help me to recover my os

    Making changes to the factory disk partitioning scheme results in what you are experiencing. That is unfortunately what happens when you don't know how a disk is setup before making changes. From your rpost it would seem that you didn't make a recovery image just in case everything went wrong as it did. I always keep an image around just for that reason. I generally use Paragon Hard disk manager for that purpose. Use the usb recovery flashdrive that you should have created by now to perform a factory image recovery. The original disk partitioning format was GPT, not MBR.  The reason you can't boot is that what you did broke the BCD store. You may be able to repair it with EasyBCD, depending on how much experience you actually have with windows operating systems.  Disclaimer:Paragon Software does provide me with NFR copies of their software for my use to review.

  • Recovery partition not recognized

    Hi all

    Is there a way to solve it?

    Hi
    HP uses OEM Disc hence product key is in built on the disc itself and will be pre-installed on your unit you dont have to worry about the activation.

  • Record Drive/Partition not found

    I am getting this message when trying to arm a track for recording :
    Record drive/partition “es/Audio 1/Tom and Dirk/My Own Sweet Time/Audio Files/Audio Recording” not found!
    Any ideas? I was recording a take just fine and wanted to record a second take and got the above message. It does it when I create and arm another track for recording. I tried restarting the session, restarting Logic, rebooting the machine, repairing permissions all to no avail. What is going on?

    This is a BUG!!! A big one at that.
    I know 3 other Logic 8 users experiencing this.
    I do not know what causes it, although it may happen after you delete an audio region, like discarding a take.
    The "es/Audio 1/ etc... should say "Volumes/Audio 1/ etc... I've gotten "olumes/Audio 1/etc... and even had it read the exact name of the Audio path "Volumes/Audio 1/etc...
    However, if you had simply hit the "O.K." button, Logic would have taken you directly inside the proper Audio Files folder, where you would hit O.K. again, and be back up and running.
    So while this bug is quite annoying, just click O.K. at the prompts, and the original audio path will be restored.
    Hit Logic's Feedback page hard with this one.

  • Pavilion dv6709ax Recovery Partition not accessible to Factory Default Reset

    Hard drive is full of old information (no longer requuired) and possibly infected with a virus. I wish to reconfigure the computer back to its original state to use as a backup/travel computer.
    I have attempted to use the Recovery Partitiion in various ways to no avail. It was fine when the computer was first purchased.
    I believe that I should be able to rebuild the contents of the recovery partition by downloading and installing appropriate HP files.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    The only way to rebuild the recovery partition is by booting from Recovery Discs to format the entire hdd and restore it to Factory setup. Did you make your Recovery Discs when you first got the laptop?
