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.

  • Ipod not getting detected in Windows

    I have this iPod shuffle(512 MB) which plays songs perfectly but there is this problem since past few days that its not getting detected at any of the computers. I have downloaded the latest updater n tried installing that also but of no use. I had purchased it from US and now i'm in India.
    Please tell me what to do ?
    You can contact me on [email protected]

    the shuffle will only actually work with one itunes library, so what do you mean by "any of the computers". if you haven't already, pick the computer you want to use, ensure that itunes 4.9 and the latest updater s/w is installed, then conect your shuffle, and under explorer reformat the shuffle. then disconnect and re-connect the shuffle, and reload the updater s/w. this will remove all the tunes from your shuffle, but should work ok

  • Isight not getting detected

    I have a standalone isight and I use an IMAC G5.Its funny that my isight is not getting detected by my imac at all!! I have tried changing the firewire ports, but I just dont understand!! I hadnt been using for about a couple of months, I come back and try videochatting and it just doesnt work!!It says isight not connected!!
    Can you suggest, what I need to do. I dont think I have the CD for isight either. I have had this isight for about 2 years now!

    I had the same problem with my macBook. All of a sudden the green lites on my built in camera were not on and it did not recognize my isight camera...Couldn't get it to work till I plugged in an external isight camera....started working for a few weeks....then quite working again and read about reseting the prm on an intel based macbook....shut down everything, disconnected all power THEN pushed the power button for 5 seconds....repowered the computer and is came back on working.
    Only problem, and the mac dealer told me this didn't matter but I'm not sure...I only get one green lite instead of two...
    any thoughts on this...

  • Earphones not getting detected

    Hi,
    I'm using nokia 6233. My ear phones are not getting detected. When i checked the enhancement settings the headset and also data cable options are not present.
    Can some one please  tell me what exactly can be the problem?

    if this only started occurring recently, which i presume what is happening here, then it may be due to a firmware problem. my advice would be to check if there is a newer firmware version available on NSU for your phone. if there is, upgrade to this, then restore factory settings after having performing the upgrade. if no upgrade available, then try restoring the phone to factory settings to see if this rectifies the problem. if this doesn't, then try using NSU to re-install the firmware version you are currently using.
    remember to backup all of your data before performing any of the above. let us know how it goes.
    If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

  • SQL server instance not getting detected during SCOM 2012 R2 Installation

    Hi All,
    This is related to the below thread which i created. But i wanted to test this practically in a LAB equipment
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/96feece7-c168-4f42-b62e-4c0c20f8d525/does-scom-2012-2012-r2-setup-detect-a-sql-instance-of-a-sql-server-in-the-same-network-which-is-in?forum=operationsmanagerdeployment
    So i want to install SCOM in my domain, But i want to use a SQL server in my network which is in another domain.
    So i have 4 server machines as below:
    SERVER_DC1 - Domain controller of 1st domain.
    SERVER_DC2 - Domain controller of 2nd domain.
    SERVER_SQL - SQL server 2012 Enterprise installed for SCOM but is in Domain 1
    Server_SCOM - I want to install SCOM in this but which is in domain 2
    I created a trust relation between 2 domains with a Forest trust 2 way transitive.
    I have created a security group and added that as SQL Admin during the installation. Later i added one Domain administrator account from Domain 2 to this security group.
    When i do a installation in SERVER_DC1 for testing the SQL instance is being detected as below.
    When i do the installation in Server_SCOM which is in another domain then the instance is not getting detected.
    I have turned off windows firewall in all the machines.
    Before creating the trust i ran the setup in Server_SCOM then it was giving me a warning saying it is not able to access the SQL server due to permission issues.
    After giving permissions my instance is not at all getting detected.
    Can any one help plz.
    Gautam.75801

    Hi Yan Li,
    Really a helpful post. I tested the connection. I connected to the SQL server in Domain A using a server in domain B logged in as a domain B user to whom the SQL permissions are provided. The result says It was successful.
    Below is the screenshot.
    I don't understand why is it not getting detected in the SCOM setup.
    But 1 more important thing which i forgot to mention.
    When i log on to the server in which i want to install SCOM in domain B, But by using Domain A's user account (Added as a local user in SCOM server in domain B), Then the Instance is getting detected.
    Below is a screenshot of that.
    So has any one faced such a type of issue ?

    If your phone isn't being recognized by your computer, you need to follow the steps in this article to resolve that
    Also, some basic isolation needs to be done. Does it show up in itunes on any other computers? do you have other cords you can test with to see if it might be the cord? if the phone doesn't show up on any computers, it's likely your phone has a hardware issue

  • "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?

    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.

  • IPhone 4S does not get detected in Windows 7

    iPhone 4S does not get detected in Windows 7
    When I connect my iPhone 4S to my computer, iTunes does not detect it. iPhone pops the message of USB connectivity and defaults to Mass Storage. Windows shows the message that "Device is ready to use" and I can read both drives of the iPhone in Windows Explorer. However iTunes does not detect the device and the "Devices" tab does not appear. I have tried Restarting the phone. Restarting the computer. Connecting the phone to a different computer. (I'm on version 4.3.3 (8J2), firmware 01.59.00 and iTunes 10.5.3.3).

    First make sure you usb drivers are up to date
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-vista/Tips-for-solving-problems-with- USB-devices
    Try a hard reset on your iPhone, press the power/sleep & home button at the same time until the apple logo appears (ignore the slide to turn off prompt). Once the apple logo appears release the buttons and wait for your iPhone to boot back up then try connecting. Also try a different USB cable if you have one available.
