Restore failure for Pavilion p6236f.

I am getting following error while I tried to restore by use recovery disc after changed to new hard drive because of hard drive failure before.
 "Window setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware".
 I don't know what I did wrong. Please help.  My desktop is Pavilion p6236f.  Thank you.  Daykal 

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion p6236f Desktop Computer. While this HP support page entitled "Cannot Recover the PC after Replacing the Hard Drive with an AF Drive (Windows 7 and Vista)" isn't for your specific computer, the advice still applies. Please check to see if your new drive is an AF (Advanced Format) drive to confirm that the above support page is relevant to your issue.
It appears that if your new drive is an AF drive and your original OS is Vista, you are on your own in getting an OS back on the computer. Please see Paul_Tikkanen's reply in this HP forum thread entitled "No copy of my Vista Home Premium CD";
If you can read the 25 character Vista product key on your PC's case and want to make your own plain vista installation media, please read the info at the link below, click on the blue Windows Reinstallation Guide PDF link, and read the info beginning on page 296.
The Vista info starting on page 296 is good for any brand PC, not just Dell.

  • Disk Utility: Restore Failure-Source image needs to be scanned for restore.

    Hello guys,
    I have a .dmg (source image) that I have created from a DVD by myself (read-only format).
    I am trying to restore it to a destination and a Restore Failure notification pops-up as follow:
    "Restore Failure
    Could not find any scan information. The source image needs to be imagescanned/scanned for restore"
    I am quite new to Mac. Half of the time, I don't really know what I am doing - but just relying on the 'Help Menu', some research for guides on the internet and most of all read-on most of the posting here in the Apple Forum for what I want to do or might have encountered. Lastly to hopefully also speak the Mac language. For example - What's a disk image? What a .dmg? What's a source image? and etc. ~Lost~
    So for this case, I am totally lost as I can't seems to understand what does the Restore Failure notification mean at all as I quote above. What does it mean by the Source image needs to be imagescanned/scanned for restore? What do I do from there? How do I scanned my source image? Is there a steps that I miss out while creating .dmg from the DVD?
    Could not find any scan information? What scan information? Where do I go to asked for scan information?
    I am so lost that I don't even know the right question to ask or begin with.
    I know what I want to do and believe it can be done with Mac. But I just doesn't seems to understand the concept of how it really works yet but to just follow blindly throughout the guides.
    So please help me if possible.
    Thank you in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Jon Gan

    Hi,
    If you open Disk Utility, select the Image in the disk util sidebar, and click on Images > Scan for restore... in the menu bar, it will take care of it for you. After that you can perform a restore as you were trying to do.
    They do this so that disk util can verify your data after the restore to make sure it copied exactly.

  • Authentication failure for zone 1 error

    We did some cleanup of old user accounts in our edir tree and after that I noticed a whole bunch of error messages on our catalina.out file. Problem is the error message does not specify what account it is looking for so I do not know what account I need to restore/recreate. Vibe seems to be working okay so I'm not sure what is broken with this account missing. Error message reads:
    2014-01-18 18:38:02,429 WARN [http-8443-55] [org.kablink.teaming.module.authentication.impl.Aut henticationModuleImpl] - Authentication failure for zone 1: org.springframework.security.userdetails.UsernameN otFoundException: User account disabled or deleted; nested exception is org.kablink.teaming.security.authentication.UserAc countNotActiveException: This account has been disabled or deleted.
    We are running on Vibe 3.4.0. Any help in identifying the account needed would be much appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Ronnie

    This looks okay.  An authFail indicates that someone is polling this device with the wrong community string.  Check x.x.x.x to make sure there aren't any applications polling this device with wrong credentials.
    Something else to note is that you should not be using '@' in your community strings.  While this shouldn't really matter for routers, it's a good rule of thumb not to use '@' on Cisco devices as that character is reserved for community string indexing.

  • Upgrade failure, then restore failure, error code is 1604

    IOS 5.01 upgrade to IOS 5.1 failure and can't restart, then restore failure and the error code is 1604

    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • How can i restore my computer if i don't have the restore cds,hp pavilion a14 10n

    Hi:
    You may still be able to order recovery disks from HP.
    Please follow the instructions at the link below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00707939&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=228&product=1841...=
    If that is of no help, then call HP at 800-474-6836, and speak to a customer service rep and let them know you need to order a set of Quick Restore disks for your PC.
    You will need to provide the model # and serial #.
    If none of the above gets you anywhere, you can order a set from this 3rd party vendor for $27 + shipping, at the link below:

  • Restore failure.

    Hi Everyone,
    I am trying to restore an image using disk utility, but it keeps telling me "restore failure could not mount source image". I tried to copy the image and use it from another drive, but the same thing happened again. What I am trying to do is to make a partition on my drive, it says "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.".
    Could you please help me,
    Regards,
    MHBA

    Hello Lisa,
    Welcome to the forums.
    If you have a backup file saved to your computer then there would be no issue in doing a wipe of your device and they restoring this backup file.

  • I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID

    I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID?
    The apple ID was his personal account and can no longer gain access. Im sure I can get purchase recipts from the accounting department if needed. I tried to put the Ipad in restore mode and used itunes to "recover" the ipad but it still wont let me in because he registered the device with the "lost iphone" feature or whatever that is.

    Activation Lock in iOS 7  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • How can I tell if I have the right restore disks for Intel Mac Mini

    I have an "early 2006" (confirmed by S/N YM609***) Intel Mac Mini 1.66mhz Core Duo. I bought it used and the hard drive had been wiped. Both the HD and the DVD drive seem to work fine; hard drive passes SMART tests. I was able to boot using "Drive Genius" and can access the pre-install items like Disk Utility (and know that I need to use GUID formatting to create a bootable disk). Not knowing I could order restore disks from Apple I bought a set on eBay, p/n AHT VERSION 3A102 DISC VERSION 1.1 2Z691-5828-A, copyright 2006 on disks and included documentation (OS 10.4.6), but the install always fails 10-15 minutes along. I got the same results when trying to install via internal optical drive to a FW or USB external HD (told it to use GUID for the external HD), or external FW optical drive both to internal HD and to external USB hard drive. A friend tried to install full retail versions of 10.5 and even 10.6 for diagnostic purposes, using the built in HD and DVD drives, but those installs did not complete either; they did not try external drives. Is that the wrong restore version for this model, or even if the right "generation", does a set of restore disks only work with the specific Mac mini they were issued for like for example XP restore disks would? I've been told I can provide my s/n to Apple and for about $30 they will send me the "right" restore disks... anyone know anything about this? Could there be a hardware/firmware explanation for why the install fails like that? PS ran the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test with that restore disk set and it reported "no problems."
    <Edited by Host>

    Thanks. Actually I got the Mini from a computer recycling company I work with so I knew it might have problems and that I was taking an "as-is" risk. If the original disks were turned in with it, they'd been lost (that outfit took in huge piles of stuff every day; it was often luck of the draw for me to find something before it would be buried, damaged, etc., and not everyone who worked there had any idea of the possible value of things they received) for me to find things. The disks I got on eBay apparently were separated from the mini they'd been packaged for. An Apple Store rep said I could order restore direct from Apple just by providing my serial number; just wish I'd known that before I went to eBay. Since posting this I've seen another seller specifically claiming that the same-part-numbered-as-mine disc set they are selling will work with my specific type of Mac mini. I have an appointment tomorrow morning at the Genius Bar at an Apple store near me in case they have more suggestions. Will share what I know as things develop.

  • This device cannot start. (Code 10) Status Device Power Failure for Intel (R) Audio Display

    Hi I just bought HP Envy M7 Sleekbook last week and upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1 for Windows 8.
    Now I have no sound and this is the error message I get:
    This device cannot start. (Code 10) Status Device Power Failure  (for  Intel (R) Audio Display)
    under Sound, Vieo and Game Controllers in the Device Manager.
    Anyone else having this issue after upgrading? 
    Getting a new lappy is stressful enough but to alreay have issues is ridiculous
    If the upgrade is not the issue could something have happened in transit? (I have an issue with the way Best Buy packed it for shipment and wonder if it could have been compromised)
    Any help is appreciated. Or should Ibe taing this back to best buy and have them address it?
    Thanks
    Pam

    Ahmed, if your HP Envy has an Intel processor chances are it will be necessary to download new drivers for both sound and chipset due to compatibility issues with Windows 8.1. After 4-1/2 hours on the phone with various technical agents and a lot of frustration I finally got one who had the knowledge and training to resolve my issue. I believe he downloaded the new drivers from the HP support site. Good luck!!

    The smart error is usually a fatal hard drive error and it probably needs to be replaced.  Here is a quick scan of this forum for smart error 301:

    I think the high heat situation and damaged your video chip at the very least and someone will have to open the laptop and reflow, reball or replace the video chip. If this machine is in warrantee, you need to call HP or contact them before it is out of warrantee.

  • Where can I find a restore disc for a PowerBook G4?

    Where can I find a restore disc for a PowerBook G4?

    The detailed problem is that I had used the computer for a long time without turning off.  I wanted to give it to someone else so I needed to clean the data off. Before deleting anything I switched off then on and the HD seemed to have developed a fault as the start up routine began then when the Hd started the computer crashed and restarted at the begining with the startup routine and I have not been able to go further than this.  I changed the HD for an old one that I had replaced previously which had the same software system, Leopard.  This worked perfectly but on switching off then on behaved as the other had. 
    I figured that if I could start with the restore disc I could clean the HD or at least investigate it.  Hence the need for a restore disc.
    Would this work or is there something in the logic board that is upsetting the HD and what ever I do will not cure the problem.
    Any thoughts??

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.
