System Recovery Fails on new HDD (HP-DVDs, Vista Home Premium 64-bit, DV4-1225dx)

I have a Pavilion DV4-1225dx that had a hdd failure. VISTA Home Premium 64-bit.
Went to purchase the oem HDD @ Tiger Direct (Hitachi 0A56415 Travelstar 5K320 Mobile Hard Drive - 2.5", 5400 RPM, SATA 3G, 250GB, 8MB Cache) but found it was out of stock. I purchased the suggested replacement  (WD Blue 320GB Mobile Hard Drive - Designed for everyday computing - 2.5", SATA 3Gb/s, 5400RPM, 8MB C...)
The HP System Recovery DVDs runs for over 12 hours and fails. CTOERROR.flg
ChkErrBB.CMD: Detect some error during PININST_BBV
ChkErrBB.CMD: Check C:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootWarn.log
Besides a video driver not installing I found:
C:windows\system32\Drivers\enecir.sys has not been found
The System Recovery is formatting the HDD incorrectly. After the Recovery failure the HDD shows as:
C: 38.8 GB free of 58.0 GB
E: 2.02 GB free of 12.9 GB

Hi:
If you can still read the 25 character Microsoft Vista product key on the bottom of your PC, you can make your own plain Vista installation media and use that to at least get the OS on your PC.
Here is how to do that if you can read that key:
Please click on the link below, click on the Windows Reinstallation Guide [27-07-2013] pdf link on the upper left of the page and then read the instructions for doing this starting on page 302.

  • 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?

  • Just got a new computer running windoews vista home premium.

    Just got a new computer running windows vista home premium. I downloaded itunes with no problems, ran it, no problems. Then turned off my internet connection and computer. Next time I turned on my computer, I could not connect to the internet. There is no problem with the ISP or the computer (all have been checked). If I uninstall itunes, everything is back to normal, internet connection is fine. I have tried a few times to install itunes (which is easy to do), but my computer will not let me access the internet while itunes is installed on the computer. Any ideas as to why this happens and what I can do about it? Many thanks for any help anyone can give.

    Look into the Security control panel for the firewall settings and the list of applications allowed to access the Internet. I think you can tap the Windows key and type "firewall" to be shown the panel immediately.
    I just got a new computer with Vista Home Premium too. The first time I ran iTunes, Windows brought up a Windows Firewall warning asking me if I wanted to allow iTunes through. People tend to blow by these popups but they're very important. Often Windows will not ask again, and you have to go digging to get to the option later. Reinstalling the app won't necessarily help because Windows would think that the app you already blocked is just trying to get through again, so it blocks it again.
    When I view the list of permitted apps for the Windows Firewall, I see many entries with "iTunes" in the name, each probably governing a separate network feature (sharing, purchasing, artwork, track lookup).

  • System Restore will not run on Vista Home Premium

    I cannot get system restore to run  on my T61 using Vista Home Premium I get messages like:
    "The Restore point could not be created for the following reason: The writer experienced a transient error. If the backup process is retried the error may not reoccur". It did.  
    I also get "Rescue and Recovery Backup Service stopped working and was closed. A problem caused the applicaion to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available." It did not.
    I have also been advised no restore points are available.
    The net effect is I cannot use System Restore at all!
    Has anyone else had a problem like this with system restore?  Lenovo has been no help.I have had a number of Dell computers and this is my first (and last) Lenovo. When it was quite new and the problem occurred , I contacted them but they just blew me off..
    RHM

    So i assume that your T61 originally came with Vista Home premium installed??? Did you make the Recovery Media disks when you first got your machine??? If not call Lenovo up and obtain those disks, and then use them to reinstall your service partition and your OS.

  • Buy a Toshiba Vista Home Premium recovery disk, or buy Windows 7?

    I just bought a used Satellite L355D-S7810, but without any of the original disks.  The laptop originally had Vista Home Premium 32 bit (and it has the COA sticker for it).  I won't go into a long story.  Suffice it to say I had to wipe the hard drive.  I installed XP because I already had the software, but trying to get all the drivers has turned into a real pain.  So, I am considering two options:
    1. Order a Toshiba recovery disc so I can "recover" back to Vista home Premium (32 bit). Cost: ~$30
    2. Buy Windows 7 (64-bit).  Cost: ~$180 (For a full version)
    Cost-wise, it's a no-brainer.  However, I've never used Vista or "7".  Seems I've heard a lot of complaints about Vista.  Which is easier to work with?  Or, I should ask, which would give the best performance on my Toshiba laptop?
    Thanks

    Jerry,
    Thanks for replying.  I worked on the XP install for hours!  After I got the NIC driver installed, I was able to download most of the other device drivers through the Windows Update web site, and things were going pretty well until I downloaded and installed about 67 "critical" Windows updates.  Big mistake.  After that, the laptop would not boot at all.  I'd see the start-up screen with the Toshiba logo, then it would go to a completely black (although backlit) screen with a blinking "cursor" (really an underscore) in the upper left-hand corner.  After just 3 or 4 beeps... nothing.  Just a black screen.  Nothing else.  No hard drive activity.  Nothing.  I rebooted multiple times to no avail.  I couldn't even get into safe mode.  Finally I tried a Windows XP "repair".  After the repair I could get as far as the Windows logo screen, but then I'd get a blue screen with a long error that went by so fast I couldn't read it.  I have no idea what happened.  I think you are right.  I'll just get the recovery disc and hope it has all the right software.
    Thanks,
    Chuck

  • Problem with system recovery for a new hard drive in my Pavilion p6210y Windows 7 Premium 64bit

       I decided to swap out  my hard drive when my computer would fail to start up or crash right after starting. Diagnostic tool at startup said the hard drive was faulty and other times I would get BIOHD-1 and BIOHD-2 errors. I replaced the old WD Caviar Blue 640GB with a new Caviar Green 1TB. I ordered and received from HP a system recovery disc set which included five discs labeled:
    Use This First! System Recovery,
    System Recovery 1:1,
    SYstem Recovery 1:3,
    System Recovery 2:3, and
    System Recovery 3:3.
       After putting in the new hard drive I used the "Use This First!" disc and everything seemed to be going fine. The scene showed "Loading Windows" or something like that. After about 10 minutes the CD drive opened and the Monitor showed three images: a big green check mark which I assume meant everything was good up to that point; a graphic showing the removal of the first disc; and a graphic showing three discs to be put in. Wondering whether to put in the System Recovery 1:1 disc or the System Recovery 1:3 disc, I noticed that the drive bay closed with the "Use This First" disc still in. I managed to get the Drive to open after pressing the open button quite a few times. I closed it with the 1:3 disc and nothing happened (no light showing activity in the DVD drive). After a minute or so I managed to get the drive open again after quite a few times pressing the open button. I put in the 1:1 disc and still nothing. At this point I could only open the drive bay with a paper clip in the release hole. With the computer unresponsive and the monitor still showing the same as when the first disc came out, I decided to turn it off with the "Use this First!" disc in the drive hoping to start from the beginning again. Now the directions that came with the HP System Recovery discs state:
       CAUTION: Do not turn off the computer, or use the keyboard or mouse during this time. Doing so will interrupt or damage the software installation.
       Now when I turn the power on I get either:
     the HP blue screen with the green hand, (F11=system recovery), (F9=Diagnostics), (F10=Setup) and (ESC=Boot Menu). pressing esc, F9, F10 or F11 does nothing.
    Or the HP blue screen appears and then almost immediately goes to the black screen with " Reboot and select proper boot device or insert Boot media in select Boot device and press a key". I've gotten this scene while trying almost every System Recovery disc in the drive. Hitting a key does nothing other than repeating the same message.
    Once I got a "The file is corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computer checksum" error. That appeared only once in about 30 try's.
       The open DVD drive button works sometimes and not other times. I can't seem to figure out a pattern for when it will work.
       I don't know whether I might have accidentally moved the mouse or hit the keyboard during the first attempt. Can I  do something to the new hard drive to get it back to a state where it can start from the beginning again? Might it be a problem other than the old hard drive. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Yes, of course! See the link to your model's spec above.
    My apologies. The previous link went to a spec for the Satellite A505-S6960 (which came with Windows Vista installed). I had too many spec pages open at the same time and got them mixed. 
    So, are you telling me that I won't get this one to work?(the BPKT)
    No. But you may face the problems that I outlined in this message.

  • DNG conversion 6.6 works on my XP system, but fails to see files on my Vista OS.

    DNG conversion 6.6 works on my XP system, but fails to see files on my Vista OS. Same goes for older versions of DNG.  I use the same setup of security on both systems.
    Can anyone help?

    Run an Apple Hardware test.  That may provide a clue:

    Note that an error free AHT is not definitive.
    If you have all of your data backed up or an external clone HDD, I would try erasing the internal HDD,  reinstalling the OSX and then upgrading the software to 10.6.8.

  • Recovery disks for my HP Pavilion DV 9500 Windows Vista home premium

    Does anyone know where I can find recovery disks for my HP Pavilion DV 9500 Windows Vista home premium?? According to HP, disk pn is 446537-004.

    Excuse me for not understanding the solution so well....
    So I need to purchase an OS for my computer - like windows 7 ??
    And I need to download drivers from hp.com - there is a long list of drivers and they are dependent on the operating system - which ones do i need (all??) and supposedly I need to get a new operating system first??
    Could I try to just reload drivers before purchasing a new OS - is that possible ?? maybe it is a driver problem and not an OS problem ?? If this is possible, how do I determine which drivers to download and what order to try to install them??
    Sorry that I am not so knowledgeable
    Thanks,

    My itunes is update, iphone 3gs 4.3.4, system is windows vista home premium.
    Please help me.

    I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
    You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
    When you go to the iTunes download page:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
    After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
    It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
    I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
    The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
    The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.

  • How to install HP Deskjet 990cxi on my new laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium on an AMD 64

    I have spent two days trying to install my excellent HP Deskjet 990cxi on my new laptop running Win7 Home Premium on an AMD 64-bit processor.  I want to do two things:
    to set the printer up to run direct from a USB port on my laptop.  Having done this, I then want
    to set the printer up on BT Home Hub Type 2A, connected through the hub's USB, as a network computer.
    So far under windows, this has proved a huge problem.  It seems that the printer settings file is in 32-bit, but in the attempt to install the printer through the Windows "add printer" in Devices and Printers, and after a Windows update on the program to find Deskjet 990c, I run into a brick wall with the printer failing to install.  I get the following message: "Printer driver was not installed.  Access is denied  ".  Yet I am loading the printer drivers as Administrator.
    By contrast, I also run Ubuntu 11.04 linux on this computer under Windows.  
    Ubuntu loaded the 990cxi drivers in an instant when it was connected via USB to the laptop; and more importantly,
    Ubuntu set the printer us as a network printer running off the BT Home Hub type 2A and it worked perfectly.  I even tested it by sending a graphics file from my garden to the printer indoors and the quality was perfect.
    So the observation is this: If Ubuntu can load both printer settings on the same laptop, why is Windows 7 such a trial?  Can HP do anything about this?
