Restoration Fails with HP recovery disk. Will ordinary retail copy of WIn8 install OK?

I'm having weeks of pain trying to restore an HP Envy m6 that failed a couple of days outside its warranty.
I've tried reinstalling from the original recovery partition and recovery disks burnt from the original recovery partition.
These both failed with the error.  Detect some error during PININST_BBV
Diagnostic checks suggested the Hard disk might be failing so I've replaced it and bought a new set of HP Recovery disks which HP believed would solve the issue. However I get the same error. Detect some error during PININST_BBV
The installation in all cases appears to have gone fine.
I strongly suspect the HP recovery process is faulty but HP want to charge be a 34 pounds just to speak to someone for a few minutes.
Does anyone know if I can install an ordinary copy of windows 8 bought in a retail store instead?
The product key seems to be buried in the BIOS at the moment and I don't know if that will affect activation if I try to install a non-OEM version
Any anwers on help on the original problem would be greatly appreciated.
This question was solved.

I'm sorry, I really don't have a clue how to exclude Fingerprint driver from Recovery.
=============================
You should't have to worry about Activation. The BIOS key should work with the Windows 8 you installed from ISO download. Actually the install should have checked for and pulled the key already.
=============================
Any drivers you need should be posted on the Support page for the laptop.Get your full Model number or Product number from the Service Tag attached to bottom of laptop (may be under battery)
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number
 Once you have the info,  use the button at top of this page titled "Support", then click "Download drivers" from the menu. Enter your Product Number. After entering PN click 'Go". On the next page use the dropdown menu to select your Operating System, click Next. A list will populate with drivers/software.

  • HT1212 I am unable to get our of a continuous cycle when trying to update or restore my iPad 2. Plug in to iTunes 12.0.1 (latest version). Click update, told can't update, have to restore. Restore fails with error 9. Any help appreciated.

    When I tried to update my iPad I got an error 9. Now, I am unable to access my iPad. It is in a continuous cycle when I try to update or restore the iPad 2. Plug in to iTunes 12.0.1 (latest version). Click update, told can't update, have to restore. Restore fails with error 9. Any help appreciated.
    Here's the cycle:
    I plug in my iPad when “cable to iTunes shows on iPad screen. It says "Your iPad can't be updated, you must restore it to factory settings." That bad enough news, but it gets worse.
    Click Restore
    Extracting software…
    Preparing iPad for restore
    Waiting for iPad…
    Verifying iPad restore with Apple…
    (empty bar under the Apple logo…does not show any activity)
    “The iPad “iPad” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).”
    Notes: I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) in the last week. It’s the first time I’m tried to backup/update my iPad since the iMac update.
    I swapped out the USB cable to a new cable and get the same results.
    I also unplugged all other USB devices from the iMac and security on my iPad and still get the same results.
    I find it strange that it shows no Serial number for my my iPad 2 when plugged in. It shows “Serial Number: n/a on the screen when it displays: “iPad Recovery Mode To update your iPad without erasing its contents, click Update. To restore your iPad to its factory settings, click Restore iPad.
    I prefer to update my iPad, but it displays “Your iPad can’t be updated, you must restore it to factory settings. If you previously backed up the iPad, click Restore Backup after the restore process completes.”
    It’s a continuous loop. I get the display on my iPad to plug in the iPad to iTunes, plug it in which ends after going through the above procedure saying an error occurred (9).
    So now I cannot use my iPad. When I turn it on I get the display showing me to plug it into iTunes with the cable. Since this is the only option I have I plug it in and the loop begins.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello jaybearden,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • Restore fails with Finder error

    Been trying to restore my iPhoto Library (another can of worms) but the restore fails with the following error:
    "The Finder cannot completer the operation because some data in "iPhoto Library" could not be read or written. (Error code -36).
    I am trying to restore it after iPhoto "lost" all the images, even though I can see that everything is still there.
    This is very frustrating to say the least.

  • 0X4001100200001012 error with windows recovery disk

    For quite some time (over a year), I've been seeing chat about this error when attempting to make recovery disks on Dell machines. Basically, a recovery disk made in windows 7 starts to boot, when tested, but then gets to what looks like the blue background
    for a normal startup screen and shows an error code  0X4001100200001012 error.
    Invariably, someone trots out advice about burning disks slower or running a file error check. Neither of these work. Some believe that the error has something to do with the Dell recover partition that all Dells ship with.
    If one boots with the windows 7 install disk, all goes well, and one can recover an image file, so it is definitely some sort of error introduced at the windows 7 recover disk creation process.
    I have seen this problem with 2, different model, Dells. An HP does not have the problem. Its recovery disks work fine. All three machines are running different versions of windows 7 64. 
    Do you have any insights into what is causing this error, and whether it can be remedies or if Dell owners just have to live with it? Calling Dell technical support is...well, lets just say that life is too short.

    Hi,
    According to your description, it indicates you have a problem with your recovery disk. It may be caused by recover disk creation process.

  • Installing OS4 - restore fails with error message 1014 - 3GS unusable

    I tried to install OS4 on my 3GS iPhone. Process reported that a restore and update were required. The restore failed with error message 1014. This has rendered the phone unusable. Any help for me since Apple technicians from India weren't able to help.

    Anyone got this fixed, I also have the same problem. I got an error during update, then the iPhone went into Recovery Mode and iTunes says it has to be restored and updated, but the restore has taken over 15 hours know and Applecare told me to wait or come to an applestore... I'm on holiday in Europe and I have a 12 hour fligth in a few days back to the US...

  • Updated to OS5, restoration failed with error -50.

    I updated the phone to OS5. Restoration failed with an error -50.
    I lost all my contacts, email setup, photos and other configuration.
    How do I get back my contacts?

    same thing happenned to me.
    IOS5 installed fine, but the restore failed.
    Eventually, I just logged in as if it was a new phone. iTunes remembered my apps, but all the data is still gone.
    And then it backed up on me.
    I'm on a winxp box, and I had gone into C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer
    and I copied it to another location. So perhaps, if they get this fixed, I can recover the items from this old location.
    but, to be honest, I have lost a whole day messing with this, and I am very annoyed.

  • SBS2008 Standard Complete PC Restore failed with (0x80070495)

    Urgent help needed!  I am trying to recover my SBS2008 standard machine after
    a RAID controller failure.  I removed the dead adaptec 51645 and am using 2
    1TB RAID1 on the ICH9R.  I then proceeded to initiate Windows complete PC
    restore with the SBS2008 standard disc.
    The old RAID on the 51645 is only 720GB large so the new 1TB RAID1 should be
    large enough for the restore.
    But I keep on getting "The Volume ID could not be found. (0x80070495)"
    error.  Nothing seems to be helping.
    So please help!!!!

    I somehow managed to rescue the server thru a lot of brute force efforts.....  Essentially, the problem seems to be that the bootsect config has been corrupted on the backup images.
    Symptoms:
    1)  No concrete errors from WSB eventlog.
    2)  When trying the repair option from the SBS2008DVD, Unknown on Unknown device, Windows 2008 may appear at the Select OS to repair dialog box.  Or it could be blank for the new drive.
    3)  When attempting complete PC Restore, operation will fail despite having enough HD space with error:
    "The Volume ID could not be found. (0x80070495)"
    When I ended up doing:
    1)  Find a Server 2008 machine.  I need WSB that to access the backup image from the backup drive.  Logon with admin rights.
    2)  Attached the drive containing the backup to the Server 2008 machine.  The drive will be automatically assigned a letter but the user may not have access to the backup drive's content (yet).
    3)  Launch WSB.
    4)  Attempt some recovery operation with WSB.  For eg, restore some directories from the backup image onto a temp location.  This gives the system access to the backup drive contents.
    5)  At this point, open up a windows explorer, and look for the backup VHDs on the backup drive via the drive letter.  Copy them out to a separate directory.  The VHDs will be named with GUIDs, rename them to shorter filenames.
    6)  Find a WS2008R2 or Windows 7 machine.  They have native VHD mounting capabilities.
    7)  Mount the VHDs via disk managements.
    8)  Use HDD cloning applications to clone the different VHDs to other hard disks.  I used Norton Ghost14 on my W7 machine.  Make sure to clone the system drive (C:) with options to set bootable(active) and copy MBR.
    9)  Move the cloned disk(s) back to the original server.  And reset BIOS to boot from the correct disk with the restored system partition.
    10)  Try booting.  If everything is ok, you will get an error regarding something about ntloader.exe.
    11)  Boot with the SBS2008DVD again.  Choose repair.  Go into a command prompt.
    12)  CD into C:\windows\system32.  This should be your restored system drive.
    13)  fire up bcdedit.  Output will probably show unknown in several entries.
    14) Reset the unknown entries with commands like bcdedit /set {default} device partition=C:
    At this point, reboot.  I was able to successfully recover the server this way.  Definitely a real hassle.  How the BCD on the backup images got corrupted, I have no idea.  And this shouldn't be so difficult to fix as all the underlying data is fine........

  • Yoga 13 System Image Restore Fails Due To Excluded Disk

    Hello:
    I am trying to execute a restore from a system image disc created shortly after I installed my principal programs without destroying the OKR partition or files.  However, I  do not want to go all the way back to factory condition at this time.  The issue is that when I attempt to follow the reimage instructions in win 8.1, I am presented with a dialog box that has two check boxes.  The first asks "Format and repartition disk" and the second asks "only restore system drives".  
    Based on everything I've read about preserving the C:/ and D:/ drive partitions, I would have expected to check the second box and not the first.  But the system will not let me make this choice.  Instead, the first box is automatically checked, and greyed out, with a second dialogue asking me if there are any disks I want to exclude from repartitioning.  When following this second dialogue I am asked if I want to exclude Disk 0 (Samsung MZMTD128HAfV -00l1) which has 119Gb of capacity.  If I try to exclude this disk, the operation fails with following error:   "Restore failed because a disk that was critical at backup is excluded"  My question is, if I do not exclude this disk, will the restore operation still leave the D:/ partition intact so I can use OKR in the future.
    I have read quite a bit of imformation here and elsewhere about restoring system images and OKR, but have not seen any discussion about this disalogue, or the fact that I am being forced to reformat and repartition the disk without excluding the d:/ drive.  Other posters have stated that retsoringa  system image will only restore C;? drive, but this dialogue seems to conflict with those statements.  Anyone else have any experience with this operation?
    Thank you,

  • T60 problem with product recovery disks

    After Installing disk 1 of product recovery I am getting a message asking for "Final C" disk. I do not have this and I can go no farther with the recovery
    How can I get past this? What could be causing this?

    Maybe you could provide a little more information as to how you are trying to recover your system, are the recovery discs from Lenovo or did you create them yourself?
    Recovery scenario using Lenovo or self created recovery discs;
    boot from the Lenovo R&R or 1st disc created, once it has loaded choose to restore system and then restore to factory settings. Make sure you read all messages carefully. If it says remove disc and turn off and then turn on your system, you will need to, after removing the disc, press the power on button untill the system turns off, then turn it on again without inserting any disc.
    You may be asked for a supplemental disc. If the discs are self created you do not have this disc and you need to click on "no". If the discs are from Lenovo you may, may not have one, click "yes" or "no" accordingly. Proceed as instructed and your system will be recovered.
    Edit; just had another thought, may / may not be relevant in this case - but just in case: If you are starting the system, then pressing the blue ThinkVantage button, and do not have a factory restore option; - if you can still boot into windows you need to run System Update and let it update itself. Then try the ThinkVantage button again at boot, hopefully the factory restore option will be available.
    Hope this helps

  • ITunes Network Diags pass, but Restore fails with Error 3014 and recommended solutions risky and unhelpful

    We've had routine OS updates fail recently (weeks apart)
    on both an iPad mini and a 5th Gen iPod. The devices ended up in recovery mode
    and we had to Restore them to factory defaults.
    That is bad enough, but it gets worse...
    We started iTunes, plugged in the bricked device, and were
    prompted to do a Restore. Clicked OK. It ran for a while, completed the
    extraction step, and the failed with unknown error 3014.
    We searched support, and there is plenty written about
    unknown error 3014 when doing a Restore. Most point to network connectivity
    issues and things like blocked ports or conflicting security software. Sure, I
    can see how those could cause problems that may be outside Apple’s control
    (although doing everything over HTTPS would eliminate the issue.)
    BUT, iTunes has built in network diagnostics (Help ->
    Run Diagnostics… -> Network connectivity tests). Shouldn’t these tell me if
    there is a connectivity problem with iTunes? The support articles all seem to
    tell you to manually dive into all kinds of low level  things such as hosts files.
    iTunes network diagnostics all passed, but out of
    desperation, we still tried shutting off our anti-virus (Avast) and firewall
    (Comodo), connecting directly to the internet without our router blocking or
    filtering anything, editing the hosts file, trying a different PC, etc. as
    instructed. It was all a wild goose chase – nothing helped, and Apple’s
    instructions exposed us to security risks (attaching directly to the Internet
    with no router, firewall or ant-virus software!)
    I can’t be 100% sure because I still had our anti-virus
    SW and firewall turned off, but what seemed to finally work was to just try
    dozens of times until iTunes and Apple’s servers finally worked!
    After dozens of tries on two PCs over two days, the last
    thing I did was to turn off our anti-virus and firewall again, started iTunes,
    plugged in the device, attempted a Restore when prompted, retried when it
    failed. Then closed and reopened iTunes while leaving the device attached, and
    Restored when prompted. That one time, we got lucky and it worked. I’m sure
    many people really have blocked ports, etc. but I can’t see how that could explain
    our problems. Hopefully this posting will help someone.
    ** Apple – If you’re reading this ** Please (1) find out
    why we and others in the forums report persistent 3014 errors that seem to
    magically go away if you retry often enough over a long enough period of time,
    and (2) make sure the iTunes network diagnostics are truly thorough, and then
    direct customers to them rather than making them dig through port mapping
    settings and hosts files. Thanks for your consideration.
    This is a terrible user experience – Please address this!

    P.S.  Here is a copy of one of our update logs that iTunes optionally sends back to Apple when a failure occurs, etc. (We let several of these be sent in) There are several errors near the end, including an "Internal error"

  • Imac 27-inch 10.9 recovery disk will not start

    hello everyone,
    I am having boot up problems on my imac 27-inch.
    I pressed the power button and press and held the Option key, I chose the
    Recovery disk, but the Recovery disk did not start, instead I have the grey Apple logo and it keeps running but will not start.
    The imac 27-inch was bought refurbished in late 2010
    I also have imac apple care from 2010 never used. First time problem.
    On pressing the Option key during startup,
    Mach Hard disk and Recovery Disk 10.9 is displayed.
    Choosing mac hard disk does not boot up the OS instead I get a big Zero sign with line through it or a big flash question mark sign.
    Choosing the Recovery Disk 10.9 does not boot up Disk Utility, instead I get the grey Apple logo.
    Please help. Thanks.

    Your Recovery HD is damaged. You may be able to repair it using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.5.4. Under the Windowm menu select Disk Center. Select your boot volume from the list. Click on the Recovery HD tab then click on the Create a Recovery volume for this disk. Select Mavericks from the dropdown menu labeled "Recovery HD version to be applied." See if that works. If it does not then see Update - Create Lion RecoveryHD Partition Quickly Without Reinstalling | brunerd. Or see Recovery Partition Creator 3.7 – Updated for Mavericks ...
