System recovery failed new hard drive

I have an HP Pavilion g-6 1d26dx laptop. I just replaced the hard drive with one ordered directly from HP. When I went through the System Recovery, using the disks from HP, I got the following message:
There might be unexpected reboot during specialize to BBV1
The process will cause CTO panic because the image might not be normal
I got this message after trying the system recovery with and without the supplement disc for Application and Driver Recovery DVD that came with my other disks.
I have no idea what that message means, but I would appreciate any help getting this resolved. I was operating on Windows 7.
Thank you!

Hi:
I hate recovery disks. Too many times they don't work and you are left high and dry.
It has happened to me twice on different PC's.
Try the cyberlink patch for the recovery disks you purchased which may fix the issue.
Description
CyberLink Recovery Discs utility resolves an issue where Recovery Discs sent from HP do not work on a new hard drive.

If that fails to work, then the only other suggestion I have for you to get the operating system installed is the following and it is only good if you can still read all 25 characters of the W7 product key on the bottom of your notebook.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft Windows 7 product key and can live with the bare operating system and software/drivers found on your PC's support page, you can make a plain W7 installation media by reading the info below.
Use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link below. You need a DVD or a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
Use the 25 character windows 7 product key to activate your installation.
http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below. Download the applicable version of Windows 7 that is on your product key (Home Premium, Pro, or Ultimate).

System Recovery on New Hard Drive Not Proceeding

Scenario: I've installed a new (blank) hard drive on my 2008 HP Pavilion dv3500. I need to install the factory image on this new drive in the original HP machine.
1. I am booting from the recovery disks I made (F9 from system startup menu)
2. The first disk loads some files after which Recovery Manager opens up.
3. Without giving me any option other than to shut down, the Recovery Manager Wizard tells me:
"Recovery data is missing. Please use recovery media to restore the system."
Well, that's what I'm doing! - so why can't I click next have have the recovery manager install the factory image from the recovery disks I made?
4. Clicking "Finish" on wizard restarts the system
5. hitting ESC goes into Startup Menu again
6. F11 - System Recovery:
"BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"
7. I've read all the documentation I can find. Looks like HP strongly prefers the use of the partitioned recovery drive on the original hard drive. Can't seem to find any information on how to recover using the recovery disks without Recovery Manager trying to access the recovery partition on the old drive -- which is not my scenario.
Summary: neither booting from recovery disk nor directly calling "System Recover" with F11 initiate the system recovery process from the recovery disks when a new drive replaced the older, smaller one.
Anyone see a step I'm missing here?

Try booting with a utilty cd to delete any partitions, create 1 partition & format hdd. I have had good results with the free Partition Wizard .Download the Bootable CD iso here .Get ImgBurn here to burn the image to cd.
After all operations are done with PW, boot from the Recovery Disks and try again.

I reinstalled my system on a new hard drive, from time machine. However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture. iphoto seems okay. New photos take a long time to load as well.
Have you heard of this?
Thanks

We need a little more information to be able to help.
However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture.
What kind of corruption? And when do you see it? All your images, or only some? Are the images distorted, discolored, or not displayed at all?
Are you shooting in raw? Is your library referenced or managed? Is your library on your system volume or on an external harddrive?
And it would help to know your MacOS version and Aperture version too.

Non system disk error with recovery disks--New hard drive

HP Pavillion Model a6632f
Ordered new recovery disks from HP after installing brand new hard drive. Getting errors trying to boot/install. Now what?

It sounds like the boot device order is not set correctly. Please try this:
1. Remove the recovery disk (cd) from the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) if you have it loaded. Make sure the only
peripherals (cables) you have connected to the tower are the monitor, mouse, keyboard and main power.
2. Start the computer and immediately strike the F10 key to boot into the BIOS Screen
3. Once in the BIOS screen, strike the F5 key to reload the BIOS default settings.
4. A message will pop up asking if you wish to SAVE & EXIT BIOS?
5. Respond YES and exit.
The computer should attempt to boot up at this point. Go ahead and open the CD/DVD drive tray and insert
the 1 of system recovery disk and close the drive tray. Immediately force power off on the tower by pushing and
holding the power button. Once power goes off, allow appx 10-20 seconds and power the tower back on. If
reloading the default BIOS settings has corrected the system boot device order, the computer should now boot
immediately from the Optical Drive (CD drive) and begin the system recovery.

Recovery Discs New Hard Drive Size

Hi everyone,
I had created a set of recovery discs for my HP Pavillion G7 notebook. It was 6 discs. The original hard drive that the Recovery Discs were made from was a 750GB Hard Drive.
The hard drive started to die on that notebook. I have another notebook that I don't use that has a new 500GB in it. I switched out the Hard drives as they are compatible.
My question is can I use the Recovery Discs that I had made from the 750gb drive that now is dying and recover on the new hard drive that is 500GB. I started the process but it stalled about halfway through on disc 4. Is that because I put in a smaller hard drive?
At this point do I need to buy a hard drive that is at least 750GB?
Please advise and thanks in advance!
This question was solved.

Hi,
Recovery media can have issues if used on drives smaller than the original.
Another option you could consider, as your notebook originally shipped with Windows 8 and the activation key is stored in the Bios chip, would be to create your own OEM Windows 8 installation disc.
For details on how to do this, see the 3rd post by Huffer on the following link - Note: the download is subject to a usage cap, so you may need to try over a period of several hours before it successfully starts

Question with installing operating system to my new hard drive

I just ordered a new hard drive for my macbook. I've had no problems finding how to take out the old one and install the new one into my computer, but I can't seem to find information on how to install osx onto the my computer again. Is it as simple as putting in the osx disks or are there others steps that need to be taken for the macbook to recognize my new hard drive?

Drive Preparation and OS X Installation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. Quit DU after formatting has completed. Install OS X.
8. Restore your files from your backup or put your old drive into an external enclosure so you can restore from your old drive.

Help with recovery on new hard drive

i have a g42 230us notebook which the hard drive read immenent failure please back up as soon as possible so hard drive is no good i purchased a new hard drive the exact one in notebook the wd3200bekt scorpio black,so i plugged it in and turn on pc , now i get a error message that reads no bootable device---insert boot disk and press any key
ive tried this with and without recovery disk and get same error message ,
notebook came with windows 7 now my question is do i need to install windows 7 os before i run recovery disk or is the recovery disk suppose to install windows 7 and features
please help

Hi,
1. The recovery disc set will rebuild the machine back to factory settings for you.
2. Probably you need to change the booting order from BIOS, you need to boot from optical drive first. To do this, reboot the machine and tap F10 to access to BIOS, chang boot order, hit F10 again to save and then recover the machine using the disc sẹt.
3. Remember to change the booting order back at the end.
Regards.

I feel your pain, I went through several installs of a Samsung SSD. First SSD died within several months, the second one did too (refurbished btw, Samsung won't give ya a new one) and had to do it again. Myself I keep debating whether to worry over the data I have and just do a complete clean install each time. This last go round I did a 'clone' of the HP provided OS with all the bloatware and junk on it and since have found that there is a way to do a windows only install using ABR(autobackupand restore)utility that'll record all your proprietery data like COA key so when you do an install you won't have to keep verifying it every 90 days...BTDT. Found that one on this forum as a good way to do an OS install and keep the original code applied to the new install.
All the really important (to me) stuff I keep on an external hdd or big thumb drive, speaking of which theres a 64 gb 3.0 usb on Amazon for under 30 bucks including shipping, ya can't beat that. All my games and stuff I have on seperate HDDs with none of that RAID business.
Found out the hard way in order to use the HP recovery discs the pc has to be put back in its original form. I had put in another drive (solid state) and a better graphics card and better RAM sticks only to find that I had to go back and put all that out of the box stuff back in to get the discs to work....they were giving me red alerts in Command Prompts or CMD. I had never seen Red CMD it was one of those **bleep** moments, spending half a day googling led to to someone who had been there and done that (btdt) HP won't let you put their OS on another Hard Drive which I think is stupid..the disc knows if the drive is different therefore the bright red CMD window that blinks in your face and doesn't have the courtesy to tell you to change equipment.Oh well time to quit blathering.

How do I restore backup1.swm files created during system recovery from external hard drive.

On my hp dm1 with windows 7 In full detail, this is what I did. I clicked to do a system recovery, it asked if I wanted to backup the files, I said yes. It said it backed up my files on the external hard drive. I continued the system recovery. It set my computer back to factory settings. I tried to recover my backup, it acted like it was restoring the files and showed them going into the c: area in a folder. I open the folder and it says the folder is empty. I hit properties and the folder contains 10mb+ of data. I go back into my LaCie drive, there are files labeled like backup.swm, backup1.swm, backup2.swm. I can't open these files or do anything with them. In a text document it lists all the files it apparently copied. It is only a list of text, nothing else. Have a 12 page research paper in these back ups that is due in a few hours so any help will be greatly appriciated.

@Daniella1985,
If the standard procdure of locating the program launcher (a .exe file) on the first backup media (disk 1 or the external storage device) is not working, then you can manually extract the files using 7-zip.
7-zip can be found here.
Once 7-zip is installed, open it and navigate to the first .swm file of the backup. Right-click the .swm file and select 7-zip>open archive. Once that opens, it should reveal the contents of the .swm files. If the file contains something you want to keep, you can either extract each invidual file or extract the entire directory. If you want to extract each individual file, highlight the desired file and click the extract button at the top. If you want to extract the entire directory, make sure no items are highlighted and click the extract button at the top.
This is a manual process and it can be a large task depending on how many files were backed up, but it is one method to get the backedup files when the standard procedure is not working.

Toshiba A500-1H1 after recovery on new hard drive cannot boot

Hi, I had to replace hard drive because old one is broken. I used recovery media I've created after opening laptop first time as you suggested with Toshiba support. Recovery is fine, but during windows configuration I had information about not certified signatures and windows cannot boot. There is error suggesting that maybe hardware was changed. So my question is ? Buying Toshiba laptops I cannot change my harddrive, so if any part of Toshiba is broken I have to buy new notebook ? Or maybe I can access to my Windows764bit key and download from microsoft windows and install and configure this by myself ?
Please help, I need this notebook for work ! Best Regars,Paul

Hi, thanks for your reply - I FOUND A SOLUTION, a quick description about my problems is below. 1. First of all. My Toshiba HDD is broken in that way that it cannot be booted. I did a couple low level tests (one took about 90 hours !!) and surface is free from bad sectors. Disk is in very good condition, but I suppose controller in disk is broken because everything is installed correctly, recovery takes about 20 minutes and after rebooting I have typical information about problem with reading boot information, BCD, 0xC000... And so on. So disk is working now as storage on usb. This disk was 320GB - original from Toshiba. 2. Then I tried use new one disk: Samsung 1TB. And I had this problem with booting again, but info from windows was about not certified drivers (when it tried install WiFi, and other drivers). Then I post this post here, but meanwhile I contact my support in Poland and they suggested me there can be a problem with DISK SIZE - they said this is TOO BIG FOR RECOVERY.. That was very strange for me - I heard first time the problem can be with too much space, not with not enough space Anyway I decided to buy new SSD 250GB (smaller than original Toshiba) hard drive. My recovery took me about 10 minutes. I have SATA3 SSD but Toshiba support SATA1, but anyway my computer seems to work 3x faster than before
So the problem was with original disk, controller (boot sectors maybe), and with too large new disk so Toshiba recovery disk couldn't manage.
Thank you for your concern. Best Rgards !

How do I restore backup swm files created during system recovery from external hard drive

Good day,
I was facing some problems with my laptop (HP Envy 17 3D Notebook with windows 7 home premium, 64 bit) and I had to return it back to its original state using system recovery.
During the process I was asked if I want to back up my data. I have chosen to backup my data in the flash drive. Once the process has completed and my laptop is to the original state, I tried to recover my backup but it tells me:
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.
If i click run as administrator it tell me:
Windows cannot find 'F:\Backup_2015-04-29 143842\Restore.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
there are files labeled like backup.swm, backup1.swm, backup2.swm. I can't open these files or do anything with them. In a text document it lists all the files it apparently copied. It is only a list of text, nothing else.
any help will be greatly appriciated.

Restore Windows 7 operating system on a new hard drive in HP Mini 210 1095NR

I have a HP Mini 210 1095NR that had its hard drive crash and is not recoverable. I have purchased a Seagate 320 gig hard drive to replace the original (160 gb I think) and I have ordered HP recovery disks. They came as a set of two disks. I used a free software (Daemon) to make ISO copies to two USB sticks one for each disk. However, in researching this further it appears that using a clean drive will not be compatible with the recovery disks sent by HP. There were mentions on the site that I visited, that I will need to purchase from HP some other media for a clean installation. Is that correct and/or can I format the hard drive myself and then use the recovery disks from HP?

you can format the harddisk first.
complete the installation of any os..
then keep your HP recovery disks and boot in..
now you can be capable of using recovery disks
Hope this helps

How do I install operating system on a new hard drive?

Hi
I thought all I had to do was use my recovery disk that came with my laptop, however while the laptop was working fine for a few days it now has an error message when I try to load up windows, something along the lines of 'image error, check installation diskette'.
Have I done something wrong?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi buddy,
Installation on new HDD is very easy. Everything what you need is Toshiba recovery disk and you have to boot from this disk for starting the installation. Everything happens automatically and factory settings will be restored on new HDD.
Does this work?

How to install operating system on new hard drive without installation disc on macbook pro 2011

My macbook pro 2011 does not come with a recovery disc or any disc at all, my hard drive recently failed and i have no backup. i have replaced the hard drive but don't know how to install the operating system on the new hard drive.

If it originally shipped with 10.7 or newer, connect the computer to the Internet and start it up with the Option, Command, and R keys held down. You'll be able to install an OS.
If it shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier and wasn't upgraded to use Apple's Internet Recovery system, phone AppleCare and order the disks.

Please help!!! Cannot run Windows Update in Win 7 Pro after changing new hard-drive. (X201s)

Hi everyone,
I have been using my thinkpad x201s for more than one year by now. And recently I change a new and larger hard drive for my laptop. When I tried the thinkpad rescue and recovery disc on the new hard drive, everything works fine except that I cannot run Windows Updates after the installation was finished. The recovery DVDs were burned directly from the original image stored in the computer when the first I received my laptop last year.
Every time when I try to run the Windows Update, it shows the following: "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running, you may need to restart your computer."
I restarted my computer later but nothing changed. Can't run Windows Updates and can't even install IE9.
I then moved back to my old hard drive and everything is normal, no problem with Windows Updates. I also tried to create a back-up image by running win 7 Backups and Restore. Later when I changed back to the new drive and followed the instructions to restore my system from the image I created earlier in a USB drive, it worked except that still the system can't run Windows Updates program.
I'm now getting very confused and upset, is it something to do with the software copyright? It's been a week now and I tried to Google the similar problem but no solutions work here. All I want to do is moving my current system to the new hard drive so that I can continue to use my laptop but it just failed updating every time.
Could anyone kindly tell me what to do when changing hard drive in order to avoid the problem I'm dealing with? Sorry I'm not a pro type user and just want my laptop to work appropriately.
My warranty has already expired so I guess the Lenovo Technical Hotline wouldn't answer my questions anymore. Please help!! Much appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance!!

I'm not sure this is the issue, but from your description, it seems as though all you have to do is activate the windows update service. If I were you, I'd search for "Services" in the start menu, open it and look for "Windows Update". Check in its properties that it is set to "Automatic (Delayed)", if it isn't, set it, and start the service, you should then be able to check for updates, be careful though that none of your other programs aren't stopping the service, usually these programs are there to "optimize your performance" or "boost your system",...
Hope this helps.
