System recovery keeps running

I have a Pavilion dv6-1030us, running Windows Vista 64 bit. My Windows installer became corrupted and I am trying System recovery to take PC back to original configuration. I have used both Partition and recovery disks and can format disk. Software installation, HP banner keeps running and then restarts computer. I am not given opportunity to log on. I am not able to start in Safe Mode as Windows installation is not complete. How do I get out of this loop?

I started again yesterday with System Recovery using Recpvery Partition. Formatting, clearing and loading recovery files took 1/2 hour. Started at 1Pm yesterday, Notebook has been untouched since going thru Restart, Software Installation, and Windows loading(black screen w/just cursor visible), now 11 hours. This seems to be in a loop and not coming to a end.

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.

My HP 2000 keeps crashing, the message is System Recovery Error or Enabled

My HP 200 Note Book keeps crashing and restarting. The message is something like System Recovery Error or System Recovery Enabled. Also Firefox keeps crashing. I have run virus and malware scans. It must be something in the hard drive? Anyone else run into this problem?

Hello P25ab07,
What is your product number? Did you attempt to perform a recovery in the past?
Thanks,

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

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!

HP System Recovery DVD Won't Run

Hi. I currently use an HP Pavilion DM4, 3090se, which runs Winows 7. I went to turn on my computer last week and instead of starting normally, got the Windows Boot Manager screen stating that Windows failed to start. To fix the problem it says that I must insert the Windows installation disc and restart to repair the computer.
I did not have any Windows installation discs so I ordered the System Recovery DVD's from the HP Support Site. I've inserted the first disc and started up my computer only to get the Windows Boot Manager again upon start up. Inserting the Recovery DVD's seems to have no effect. I tried inserting the second disk and the Application and Driver Recovery DVD to see if anything different happened but that was to no avail.
I did not have any issues with my computer prior to this happening and do not know what the cause may be. I am hoping for some insight on what I can do to resolve this before I have to just send my computer in to HP.
Thank you!

Hi,
You're more than welcome
In case the problem is with the notebook reading the installation disc, here's another possible option you could try as detailed below.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create Windows 7 installation Flash Drive yourself using another PC. Download the Image file on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder - the Windows 7 image source is Digital River ). You'll need a usb flash drive that is at least 4Gb.
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit.
Once downloaded, use an application such as Rufus to create a Windows 7 bootable usb flash drive.
When created, tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu. Insert the Windows 7 flash drive. Select the Boot Options menu ( f9 ). Use the arrow keys to highlight the flash drive and hit enter.
During 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.

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.

After system recovery on a Pavilion 513n with XP SP2 I cannot run CD's created with Iomega Hotburn.

I have a 9 year old Pavilion 513n running Windows XP SP2. I have two RAM sticks, one of 1GB (added) and one of 256MB (the original with the computer). The hard drive is a Western Digital 80 GB. The CD/DVD drive is the original with the computer. I recently had to do a system recovery due to a corrupted Windows file using the HP System Recovery Disks and an SP2 disk from Microsoft. Since then, the computer will not recognize nor read CD's created on an Iomega external CD burner using Iomega Hotburn software. These CD's worked fine previously even after system recoveries. Other CD's run fine. I have done previous system recoveries in the last nine years, and have never encountered this problem before. I am hoping someone else may have run into this and can help me.
Thanks

I think this problem is more of a hardware issue. Have you tried using a linux live cd?
If it boots fine into safe mode then it is an installation/driver issue. Safe mode bypasses most driver problems. I would suggest you try using virtual pc from microsoft it is free and try it withing windows it is very, very easy to use to set up a virtual machine.
It COULD be a hard drive issue, if so i would try a low level seek format, and then install windows. Low level formats are NOT windows formats. Try installinf say PCLinuxos 2007 and if that works there is a problem with your drivers.
Ultimately it may well come down to hardware, just use other options to actually isolate if it is a hardware problem or not.

Power LED Flashes on During Startup then turns off (system keeps running)

The system itself works great aside from a few issues with MSI Live and Dual Core Center.
It's a K9N2G Neo Motherboard and I have tried connecting the Power LED to JFP1 (MSG LED pins) Like MSI told me and
I currently have the PLED connected to the JFP2 (Power LED pins 1 & 5) the way it should be connected.
Could it be a faulty case LED, an issue with the motherboard, a BIOS setting? I don't know.
I would not be so concerned if it wasn't for the fact that the current MSI Live Update only lists options for VGA BIOS, VGA Drivers and Utilities (nothing for the motherboard.) And that the Dual Core Center only lets me View/Adjust the Graphic Card.
I keep thinking that it could be the Motherboard BIOS (I'm on the newest version available) mostly because the BIOS is missing the tRAS option for setting the Memory Timing. When I look in the Manual (which I downloaded from MSI as a PDF) it shows 6 settings for Memory Timing TRC, TRRD, TRCD, CAS(TCL), TRP and TRAS. The current BIOS only has 5 Settings (as confirmed by an Image that MSI Tech support showed me.) The one that is missing is TRAS which is required for setting Memory Timings and is probably the most important setting. Anyway, since the PLED flashes on, I really don't think it's a faulty case LED. Also, since the system boots and runs very stable (More than 48Hrs of uptime while running constant Burn In Tests and no Heat or stability Issues (Video Card hit 45C, CPU hit 36C)) I don't think it's a Hardware Issue.
If anyone can help me track this down, I'd like to know what the problem is.

Suggest you use neither Live Update or Dual CoreCenter.
A USB flash like you noticed is far better for BIOS.
Installing drivers you should do manually. And there aren't many to choose from:

How do I restore my backup (.wim files) after running HP System recovery on a G62 with windows 7

I had to do a system restore after getting a blue screen and I backed up the files on my external drive. after restoring the system I tried to restore my files from my external with Recovery manager but it didn't see my external so I couldn't restore. I copied and pasted the backup folder on my g62 desktop and tried again with no results. As far as I can tell the restore was done because my free space on the g 62 decreased by the same size as the backup, but when I open the c:\ drive I can't see the transfer. these are .wim files and I even tried to call tech service (my warranty juse expired) and they were trying to sell me extended warranty for the next year to help me. the problem exist with HP if they had good programs that follow up what it was meant to do maybe Today I wouldn't be here looking for help. when I restored the system, recovery told me the it would install my backup, but nothing happened leaving me hanging.NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you call AppleCare they will be more than willing to help you. Use the appropriate phone number on this page. Tell them you need a support related fulfillment - replacement disks. As shldr says there will be a small charge, but you will be able to install your system again.
Best of luck.

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?
