System recovery from partition fails after first boot

I just purchased and recieve the following notebook: Pavilion DV7-6C95DX. I went through setup and then created recovery DVDs.
After playing with it for a short while, I decided to try restoring it to factory condition using the recovery partiton and F11 during boot. This started the recovery manager, which (according to its checklist) reformatted the Windows partition, copied required files and restored file to the hard disk. Then it prompted me to continue to reboot and finish the process, which I did.
Upon boot, it reported it immediately reported "Windows failed to start... Status: 0xc000000f ... a required device inaccessible"
I pressed Enter to contine and the screen said "Choose an operating system to start ..." and it gave me only the option "Ramdisk Options [EMS enabled]" Choosing it takes me back to the previous screen and so on.
So, I tried using the recovery media I made earlier. That booted Windows and Recovery Manager reported the following: "The system recovery media does not support this computer. You are not able to restore this computer with the media" There was a code below it that read "0110-A6X02UAR#ABA-A6X02UA#ABA"
There are apparently two problems -- the reecovery partition does not work and the recovery media does not work. I do not know if they are related, but, in any case, now the computer is unusable. It is less than a week old.
Thanks in advance for any advice for correcting this.
This question was solved.

Hi Lance,
This error can occur if there are any USB devices or media cards connected to your notebook. If this is the case, remove everything connected to your notebook and try the Recovery process again.
If the above is not relevant, I would try the following to rule out a potential Hardware issue.
Before trying the following, make sure you can read the Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
Assuming that this is just a software problem with the Recovery process, there is a straight forward work around if you have ( or can borrow ) a retail Windows 7 installation disc that is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - ie if your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the exact retail version you would need.
If you don't have access to a retail disc, you can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
Any additional drivers you may need can be found starting Here.
If this also fails to install Windows, I would simply return the notebook to the retailer it was purchased from and get a replacement while you are still within the time frame where this is an option.

System recovery from partition recovery fails

hi there,
I tried doing a system recovery on my HP Pavilion from the reovery partition. I tried the "System Recovery" option.
The preparation process wnt fine, but the actual recovery failed with a pretty meaningless message:
The recovery attempt has failed. Please select one of the following buttons.
- Details
- Retry
I checked out the log file but found no useful info. The process did crate a log file, HP_RM_LOG.SRD, a binary file that should be of help to HP Support when trubleshooting the issue.
I tried this a number of times with the same outcome. I also tried the "Factory Reset" option with the same result. Unfortuntely I did not create the recovery media before attempting the system recovery from the recovery partition (my bad).
Any ideas how to move forward?
Thanks,
Nacho.

Hi there @Nacho74
Welcome to the Hp Support Forums!
I understand that you are trying to do a system restore, and getting an error during the process. Also from the information you gave it looks like you installed OS X 10.6. When you installed that did you leave the recovery partition intact?
Which operating system was original installed on the notebook? Normally that notebook was installed with either windows 8 or 8.1 from the factory, and if the recovery partition is intact it would only be able to recover to whichever of those was installed to begin with.

Upgrade and Install fails after first boot. Then I am unable to repair

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this?
I've experienced the aqua screen of death with the Upgrade option and was unable to resolve it, even after trying the APE removing technique.
So, I decided to restore back to Tiger 10.4.10 (thanks to Super Dupering prior to upgrade) and try the archive and install option. All appeared to go well, installed fine, allowed me to login and run all my apps. But, upon doing my first reboot after the 'sucessful' install the system just hangs at the gray screen. I tried using Disk Utility from the Leopard DVD, but it's unable to repair permissions.
I got this error message: 'The underlying task reported failure on exit'. Tried many times, I also tried the /sbin/fsck -fy in single user mode.
I tried booting into DiskWarrior 4's. Once in DW4 I ran the Repair function there... Here I got another error message.
This error being: 'Error -9997'.
OK I thought, something random must have happened. Soooo I restored to Tiger again and ran the Archive and Install option once again.
I'm am again experiencing the exact same problems with freezing gray boot screen and the inability to repair permissions (all after doing my first boot after sucessful install and login/opening of many apps)
Please please please can anyone she some light on this problem???
I'm going to try one more option:
Upgrade after I've disable all startup options and removing anything to do with APE....
I will report back!
This is really really crap Apple, I can't believe I've spent £85 and probably 15 hours on this sloppy release. Utterly disapointed

Just me it seems then....
Right, I think it's finally resolved, only after the fifth time. I've now rebooted twice and so far so good.
There was a new message when I powered down for the first time, something along the lines of:
Please wait while your Boot Caches are updated.
This seems to be a reasuring message, I feel almost confident in restarting again.
I upgraded using the following method:
1. Disabled ALL startup items (System Preferences>Accounts>Login items)
2. Removed all traces of APE (Application Enhancer) using Finder:
/Library/Preference Panes/Application Enhancer.prefpane
/Library/Frameworks/Application Enhancer.framework
/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/Application Enhancer.bundle
/Library/Preferences/com.unsanity.ape.plist
3. Repaired Permissions
Right, before I perform a new backup I think I'll see how she runs for a week, so I'm sure the boot problem is definitely gone.

System recovery from time machine after disk crash

Hi there,
recently I am a little unluky with my backup strategy. Here is my latest issue - I am glad if anyone has hints or advice.
On my macbook pro (mid 2009, originally SL) updated till the latest version of Mavericks I recently had a hard disc crash. I replaced the hard drive and wanted to restore my system (and data) from my time machine backup. This Backup is encrypted (in case this gives a hint for something).
What I did is I insert the Snow leopard disk, boot from it and first formated the new HD to the suggested standard for intel based MACs and then chose the option to restore from a time machine backup. I found the time capsule, connected with password, found the backed up files with date and tried to install.
First attemp failed.
Second attemp succed after 10h
Then with the mandatory reboot the system didn't start but stopped with:
panic(cpu 1 caller...
So I decided to install the SL system and try to restore from there in whatever way. Did that and 1 hour later the installation was successfully - Reboot - and then the computer asked for my Log in data (with my Log in Name - which I so far did not set on this installation or on this disk - very suprised. More suprised my password (which I use for 4 years now) did not work.
so back to option 1 try to restore from Time machine.
Ahead of that I reset the PRAM . Now I choose a backup version of an earlier date. This time the installation couldn't be finished but I got the log file.
I couldn't attach the file and didn't want to post it over severl pages...(is there a good way for that, only found adding pictures?)
Well - that's where I am stuck...
Any help is apreciated very much.

Thank you Eric for your fast answer.
this worked and now I have a running SL system. I guess I try to install maverics first and then use the emigration assistent to recover my data.
Still its a pitty that the time machine backup didn't do what it was supposed to. The workarround is very timeconsuming and leaves some concerns about my data and the future safety of time machine backups.
Regards
Thorsten

Cannot force destructive system recovery from recovery disc set Pavilion a1630n

I have a Pavilion a1630n. This desktop originally came with windows xp media center edition 2005.
I had exercised the windows vista home premium express upgrade several/many years ago.
I attempted to restore the computer after getting malware or virus infected.   I found that microsoft system restore had been turned off and no system restore points were available.   The set of vista system recovery discs that I had made after the os upgrade were also seemingly unuseable. I attempted to perform a destructive system recovery from the external discs that I had purchased in 2009. The recovery seemed to take place from the hard drive only and did not request recovery disc 2 or 3.
I now have a windows xp operating system with no files in the hp recovery partition except hidden files.  An attempt to run another recovery returns a message that the recovery partition not found! no software is available for reinstallation. hardware tests that I have run show no problems with any hardware.
I've attempted to various combinations of restarts per the support documents wither using the f10 or esc key to no avail.
Ideally I would like to know that the hard drive was successfully formatted and that the recovery takes place from the system recovery discs that I had purchased. (I'm fairly sure that the discs worked at one point as I used them prior to the windows vista upgrade.)   I believe that the discs are still in good condition as I can browse the discs on the laptop that I am using. I've also written and read cd's successfully but I have not attempted to read or write a dvd format.

At power on the menu options listed are
esc Boot Menu
F1 setup
F10 Recovery
I tried f9 per your suggestion since this is not a defined key. I can see the optical drive access the disk with the blinking cursor....after a minute or two the computer boots from the hard drive and does NOT attempt to perform system recovery.
I have set the to boot from the optical drive first (tsst corp ts-h652m)
The optical drive is accessed but eventually (after a minute or two) the computer boots up from the hard drive.
If I change the bios settings to only boot from the optical drive after a few minutes I receive the following message
" Disk boot failure, Insert system disk and press enter"
FYI
drivers in use
Samsung SP2504C (HDD) uses 5.1.2535.0
Tsst TS-h652m (optical drive) uses 5.1.2535.0
phoenix bios rev 3.10 12/13/2006
core rev 6.0
Any other suggestions ?

Lenevo ideapad s410 one key recovery service partition fails

HiRecently i extend my C: drive by using the Mini Tools Partition wizard and also format and delete partition of my other data partition but i dint change any system or recovery partition. After doing that i cant recover from One key recovery,it says that cant find the service partition. Also i cant take any system backup. Can anyone help me recover this

Hi anup002,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The OKR system depends on the Partition ID's of the HDD, Shrinking or Extending a Partition may render the OKR Not to work.
Restoring the OKR after a partition change may be a hard work.

Tried system recovery and it failed now windows won't load windows

My computer (HP G71) was giving me some problems, so I saved my files to an external drive and tried to do a system recovery. When I ran the system recovery, I got an error message that said it could not do this and to reboot. I clicked the "OK" button. When it rebooted, it just sat at a black screen, Windows never came up.
This question was solved.

Hi,
No, the method I suggested will not work if you can't read the entire 25 character activation code.
How have you tried running a system recovery - was it from the partition on the Hard Drive or from a set of Recovery DVDs?

Satellite A200 System Recovery from USB drive

Hi all,
I have a A200-1BW laptop, the issue is that its CD/DVD is not working. I have all the 3 recovery CDs for Windows Vista (Ultimate) provided by Toshiba, but I cannot restore my system. Is it possible to copy the recovery CDs on USB drive and then execute the system recovery for windows vista (ultimate).

Check this. Maybe it would be helpful
You can also try to install fresh copy of Windows OS using the USB pen drive.
There are many instructions how to do that with Win 7. Just google
After installation of fresh Win 7 you could install the drivers from Toshiba European driver page.

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.

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.

Booting from usb fails after the clone

I have mac book pro mid 2012. I purchased samsung 840 500G and booted old mac to recovery and cloned (via disk utility) old mac drive to new drive. When I boot the pc and press the option key I can see ssd connected to usb port and i can boot it but it fails at the half of loading and all is left is the circle with diagonal line. Is that copy failed or the procedure will not work? Do I need to put the drive physically into mac for it to boot correctly? I wanted to test the boot before i replace the drive.

I corrected it by manually creating new partition with 1 disk layout. Clone boots no problem now.

DS-BW:Data load called from BW failed after Source System program_id change

Hi,
In my BW 7.0 instance I have Data Services 3.2 as source system.
Some time ago I have changed instance of Data Services I am connecting to - I just changed PROGRAM_ID in RFC connection parameters for that source system.
Since that time when I am trying to execute infopackage to call a job I am getting following error:
OCI call <OCISessionBegin> for connection <xxxxxxx> failed: <ORA-01017: inv
where <xxxxxx> is Oracle database connection name for Data Services instance I connected originally.
What can be reason for that?

In Data Services Server Manager on DS box there were configurations for job server I connected originally and for the other job server. After removing original config it works fine.
