Recovery, Please Help

Hi Guys.
I bought a Pavilion DV4 laptop (win 7 HP) and created recovery discs (as you know, we can just do this once!!!), they were 4 discs, but now when I want to recover my laptop, it says insert disc 5 during the process!!! and there isn't any disc 5.
Please help me, I also asked another person who bought exactly the same model but he also told me that he has only 4 recovery discs.
Thanks!!!

this looks like file read error from the disc. if you do not have the media you need to get one from hp.com linke here.

Iphone 4 Stuck in Recovery, Please help

Hey guys, I keep trying to restore my iphone 4 but it never completes, it just keeps flashing up:
the iphone "iphone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).
And i cannot get out of recovery mode now!
Please help i don't know how i can get out of it, I have made a genius bar appointment but the first available time is Sunday
I have tried all sorts of things, putting it into dfu mode, general recovery mode, uninstalled itunes, reinstalled itunes, tried it on my mac and pc.
Everything i can think of but it just wont start
Thanks
Craig

Ok lets try this on your Mac:
Find and delete any and all .ipsw files on your Mac, there should only be one, but delete ALL that you find. It should be located here:
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
Once that's done, reboot your Mac & launch itunes then, see if you can force the phone into recovery mode, reset first as I described earlier:
Turn your phone off(if you can), if not try to reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new".

*Recover media from iPod*
Check out this post from Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10436180#10436180
Some of the methods rely on a consistent library on the device which, since it is in recovery mode, it probably hasn't got. The manual method should still work.

Panasonic P2 Footage Recovery - Please Help :(

A horrible accident happened on set after we captured some amazing footage. All our P2 cards were imported onto a P2 Store Portable Hard drive and then transfered onto a Western Digital removable hard drive. The Western Digital hard drive was then plugged into Final Cut Pro 5.1 and using the P2 import window, the user highlighted all the clips except 1 and hit delete (thinking this would remove them from the import window to transfer one at a time). No warniing came up and then they discovered all the P2 footage had been deleted from the hard drive. The P2 Store was reformated before this happened.
We have left the Western Digital hard drive alone and have tried running various recovery programs: data resque & file salvage & Media Recover. We were told not to use Tech Tools because it may delete the files (this was told by an IT tech guy at Tech Tools, so that scares us enough). The next program on our list was to try Stellar (this already did see the files but so far it won't recover them).....
Any tips to help recover would be greatly appreciated. This is on a Mac formated hard drive Final Cut 5.1.
Thanks so much for all of your help

I'm not sure if this is the same product you mentioned...but I've had luck to recover deleted files once with Data Rescue II.
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/datarescueinfo.php
Files deleted, trash emptied, and other data had been written. But, this was able to pull back some trashed image sequences. With the P2 footage, you're probably dealing with much more material...but if you haven't tried this version, it's worth a shot.

Pavillion DV6 2020sa bios corrupt, wont take recovery. please help.

hi, thanks to anyone that has any input on this problem its much appriciated,
I am looking at my brothers laptop, pavillion DV6 2020sa he had a virus lock the screen, he held the power button to switch it off, upon reboot he gets the blank screen and flashing leds (2 flashes) upon lookin up it says bios corrupt, i have downloaded the bios from HP tis 3635.bin and have put in on a USB drive, the sticker under the battery also says 3635, so im confident i have the right one.
I then hold the win + B button and then power, it starts, and shortly after the USB stick light up and flashes, then stops, then flashes again, at that point i get 6 beeps, then silence, then i get 5 slow beeps, i have read this is meant to happen, but then its meant to resart, and this is the bit that dont happen, it dont do anything, when i restart it, it just does the same flashing lights.
am i doing something wrong, or something im missing.
Thanks again for any help.
Jamie.

You will need an eeprom programmer to reprogram a new BIOS chip with a fresh BIOS file. It takes a special hot air tool to successsfully remove and replace a notebook BIOS chip. This is not just normal soldering. This is what real electronics technicians and workers at an electronics R&D lab and workers on the assembly line at manufacturer do. Unless you just happen to be an electronics enthusiast or engineer, and I am guessing you are not since you asked these questions, this may be out of your league. If you feel adventurous and have your brother's permission to use his notebook as a guinea pig...go for it! It is not as easy as the guy in the video made it look. He is a trained technician and does it for a living.

It can't be turn off, need to remove the battery. I haven't back-up my contacts and smses yet, when this happen. Would like to know if anyone can help. I am really desperate now.

No, sorry, you must have a Snow Leopard disc (a borrowed disc will work, and not violate the license, but a Leopard disc just won't work).

If you followed these instructions and you were unable to enter recovery mode, I'm still leaning toward a hardware problem. Also, since you have IOS-7, read this. It might help.

Hey erinoneill24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1441?viewlocale=it_it
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Have a nice day,
Mario
