The system recovery disks I made for my HP dv7-1132 NR running Vista Home Premium 64 bit won't work.

I just bought this laptop and I want to wipe the drive clean. It is an HP dv7-1132 NR with Vista home premium 64 bit but still on Service Pack 1. It came with no system restore disks so I made my own through the System Recovery Manager. Apparently the disks were created without any problems as there were no errors.
When I tried to use the first disk however (by inserting the first disk into the dvd drive and re-starting the computer, Once it has re-booted I get the message:
"This PC is not supported by the system recovery disks. You will not be able to recover this system with these disks"
Can anyone help me help me to either get these discs working or give me another work around that will wipe this hard drive? I am not a techie so my knowledge base is rudimentary. If you can give alot of detail in any possible fixes, that would be great!!!1
Thanks. and Happy 4th of July Americans!!!!

Usually this is caused by missing info in the BIOS and must be corrected by service from HP. Enter BIOS by tapping away at the F10 key immediately after power on. Is all system info there,serial,etc?

Trying to run the recovery disk on my Satellite A75

When trying to run the recovery disk on my A75 I get a message that it will not run on a non Toshiba machine. It looks like I'm missing some system files.

Hi
Do you use the Recovery disk delivered together with this notebook?
Are you sure youve got the right disk?
The other reasons could be a faulty or missing information in the DMI.
The DMI contains details about the notebook model, series number and other necessary details.
If such information is not correct then the notebook cannot be recognized as a Toshiba unit and therefore the Toshiba recovery procedure would be not possible.
Check this US page:

U330 System Image = System recovery disk?

hi all
i have created a system image into a portable external harddisk for my U330 laptop.
once that is done, i was prompted if i want to create a system recovery disk.
just wondering, do i still need to create a system recovery disk if i have already created an image?
if i want to recover my system, just plug in the hard disk containing the system image during boot-up, and follow the onwards instructions?
also, in what ways is this way of recovering different from the one-key recovery by Lenovo?
pls advise.

if windows vista installed, run one-key recover 6.0.
already got backups, skip "back up" otherwise click that.
select full backup, quick compression and next >
choose the path or leave it default and next >
and start.
after back up ends, restart the application one-key recover 6.0
click "create recovery disc" and next >
select the backup you have and next>
this screen will tell you how much cd or dvd you need, min 2 dvd or 8cd, max 7 dvd or 28 cd. and next>
insert the blank cds or dvds into driver and wait until done.
you may need the system image, you can lose your back-up cd, or cds may not working after a while, so , i still recommend that you keep the original copy or more than one backup.
size of recovery cd depens on how much size of disk space you use. its up 2-7 dvd or 4-28 cd.
after upgrading to win7, have you seen new part of hard disk such as lenovo system and backup files included?
http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8528/99892440.png
one-key recover 6.0 doesn't work on win7, at least for me, but you can try.
i got error when i want to ""an internal program error has occured error code : 0xe0dd001f."
and for that, i'm still working on and waiting for the solution.

My system freezes during start-up "for first time" after running System Recovery.

HP G62-227CL
Win 7 (64 bit)
No error message, per se; just a frozen screen during reboot.
Months ago, my computer suddenly started glitching on me. I shut down and tried a reboot. The system froze on the boot screen with the flying colors. Tried system recovery several times but must have done something wrong because it would not run. Resolved to buy a new hard drive and reinstall from recovery discs. Delayed for no good reason until today, months later.
Before buying new hard drive, decided to run System Recovery again. It worked! I tried the option that deleted everything and restored to original factory settings and software. Everything appeared to work like a charm: hard drive reformatted, software reinstalled, system prompted me for a reboot. I did. Windows started to start, "Setup preparting your computer for the first use" appears . . . and freezes. For hours. Hard drive indicator light is off.
BTW, made sure that the Wi-Fi button was on as I read about Recovery issues if it was off when the program ran.
Rebooted. Hit F11. Ran maintenance and checked hard drive for errors. There are errors. Unfortunately, the default setting of CHKDSK does not repair them. Opted for a command prompt. Rand CHKDSK again with "/f /r" option seen in other posts. I'm too ignorant here to get the program to run properly, I guess. I ran CHKDSK on both drive X and C. No errors found . . . sort of. I know they exist because the system will not boot up. (Yes, I tried again.) Back at command prompt, I tried to run CHKDSK on drive C again. This time I received a message that I would first have to unmount (dismount?) the drive. As I do not know what this means, I opted for "no" and have decided to post this message for assistance.
So. Suggestions on what I do next? More specifically: how do I get CHKDSK to repair the errors it found? I believe the message was: "Errors in $130 of sector . . ." It displays this message twice at 62% completion. Freezes for a long time. Gets going again only to slow to a crawl again around 70% but for not as long. Then returns back to the start screen of System Recovery.
Ran System Recovery again for kicks. Again, appeared to work like a charm. Unfortunately, the laptop is once again sitting frozen on the "Preparing . . . for first use" screen again. It is getting hotter the longer it sits. The fan is now audibly running at higher rpms . . . if any of that helps. I'm shutting it down and waiting for your advice.
Thanks!

Hello Miles1966. I understand you're experiencing some issues with your notebook freezing.
This does sound like a hard drive problem. The freezes, missing HDD indicator light, and inability to perform a recovery are all symptoms of a failing hard drive. You had been using CHKDISK previously but have you tried running the diagnostic which is built into the BIOS? Try following these steps and post the result of the diagnostic. I suggest running the memory test as well just in case.
Let me know the result of these diagnostics. I hope you have a great day!

Can I use HP System Recovery Disks on a new hard drive replacement with a lower storage capacity?

Can I use the HP System Recovery Disks from my HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Select Edition Entertaimnent Notebook PC when I replace the failing hard drive with a smaller storage capacity hard drive? Right now it is a Toshiba 750GB SATA hard disk drive, 5400 RPM, 2.5 inch small form factor (SFF) and I am planning to replace it with the Toshiba HDKCB26 500GB 2.5 inch Hybrid Hard Drive. I read that I cannot use a System Image to restore the hard drive because it is a smaller capacity then the original Hard Drive. If this is true, it seems that my only option is to use the HP Recovery Disks.

Hi:
Normally the HP recovery disks don't work on a smaller hard drive either, but it may be possible in your case if HP offered a 500 GB HDD in that model series.
No guarantees though.

System Recovery disk for Windows 8.1

Hi, I have upgraded my pc from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Every thing went ok. Now I have upgraded it to Windows 8.1. So far every thing went fine. However, can some one tell me how I can create a System Recovery Disk at this stage? I have managed to create
a Recovery Drive USB stick.

Hi,
According to your description, I suggest you use system image backup to create a System Image.
You may refer to the following steps:
1.Press Win+Q, search File history. Then click it in the display list.
2.In the File History control panel that appears, look in the lower left corner. The option you're looking for is System Image Backup. Click that, and the familiar Create a System Image wizard appears.
Hope this helps.

Cannot run system recovery

I think my notebook has a virus. Last night it shut down after I installed avast anti virus, & would not come back on. I have a black screen with a flashing cursor in top left corner. I can get into the startup menu by holding ESC while powering up, it will let me press F1, F2, F9 & F10 but if I press F11 to run system recovery, it just goes straight back to the black screen.
I am not particularly knowledgeable but really want to get this thing up & running again. I know I might lose everything saved on it but that's ok. Just want some simple straightforward advice on what I can do please! Many thanks

How do I run system recovery?

Hi,
Anyone know how to run system recovery? My machine is: Toshiba Satellite L300D.
I have tried "the hold down power button for 10 seconds and then press and hold zero keys" ( Http://www.toshiba.com.au => Home>>Support>>FAQ>>How do I rum System Recovery? ) but I does not work.
After I release the 0 key it should come up the warning screen but what was show up is a blank black and at the top of the screen theres a blurry small words (fonts 2-3 maybe, I cant read it though).
Thanks

Hi,
Hold down the 0 (Zero) key, turn hte laptop on, then release the Zero key when the Toshiba logo appears.
If that doesnt work, go into the Windows boot menu by pressing F8 as soon as Windows starts booting, then go into the Recovery Options. You can also run Recoveyr from there (If its Vista).

Can files be recovered after running system recovery

Hi,
Can anyone help me to recover lost files. By mistake somebody had run system recovery on my laptop I don't have backup of any files. Kindly suggest if there is any way to retrieve files.
Thanks.

Hi,
There are companies that specialise in this sort of data retrieval, but it's an expensive option. There are also free and paid for software utilities you can try. To start with, I'd suggest the free program on the link below.

System recovery disk failure Toshiba C655-S5300

I tried using the FACTORY system recovery disks on my son's Toshiba C655-S5300 laptop. During the installation of the first disk, the installation appears to bog down and stop.The disk drive begins "chugging", and will keep doing so. I terminated the recovery and made the mistake of reformatting the HDD. Therefore, I cannot perform a system recovery form the HDD. A subsequent try at recovery resulted in the exact same thing at the same time in the recovery process.
I thought that maybe the HDD was bad, so I tried it on a spare HDD of identical specs. It does the same thing on that HDD! Both HDDs appear to be still functioning well, so something else is wrong.
Does this mean that the factory recovery disks are bad? What other things can cause this? What other options do I have to restore my son's computer?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Dave

It does sound like the most likely cause is bad recovery discs. However, there could also be a hardware failure in the laptop such as the optical drive although this is less common.

That's sounds close but to be sure you should first attempt it and then it will tell you how much space you need from the device you pick to make the REcovery to.

U110 System Recovery Disk

Hi,
How can I create a System Recovery Disk for Lenovo U110?

OneeKey can be invoked in tow ways: One when the system is off, and anotehr within windows. When you press NOVO button when the system is off , I mean the OneKeyRecovery button, you get two option OneKey Antivirus, and OneKey Recovery. If you press OneKey recovery it will set you laptop to factory default, meaning wiping out all your apps that you installed.
Within Windows, if you click on Onekey Recovery, there is an option which creates bootable CDs/DVDs. That CDs/DVDs will have all uoir apps that you installed. I don't have U110; but I have S10 and U330. I have tried the DVD option and it works great.
I hope I have answered all your question. I don't know , like the other folks, how to screen capture and post it here.
Thanks

Can't reinstall Windows 7 with Operating System Recovery Disk x120e

Hi,
I dabbled with Ubuntu on my Thinkpad x120e, but found that the dual-boot was unneccessary. I (likely foolishly) followed directions online to use EasyBCD (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/nongeeks-guide-safely-uninstall-ubuntu-dualbooting-machine/) to overwrite GRUB.
Of course, now Windows won't load! I get an error
Windows failed to start...
1. Insert your Windows installation disc...
2. Choose your language..
3. Click "Repair your computer"
If you do not have the disc, ...
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000098
Info: The Windows Boot Configuration Data file does not contain a valid OS entry.
I got the Operating System Recovery Disc from lenovo (thanks Lenovo for sending it) and copied it to a USB as the computer has no DVD drive. When I start the computer from the USB and select run from USB, it begins to load Windows, then Lenovo Rescue and Recovery 4...but then it crashes and restarts. When I hit f8 and startup in SafeMode, it begins to load the safemode screen, but then also crashes.
Any advice on what to do?? Many thanks.

Hello,
If you are okay with erasing the contents of the hard disk drive, you can try booting to a Windows Command Prompt, running DISKPART.EXE, selecting the hard disk drive, and issuing a "clean" command, which will erase the disk so that the operating system can be reloaded.
