T500 Windows 7 recovery disk installati​on

Can anyone confirm that when installing the recovery disk for window 7 on a T500 mode 2242 laptop that you have
Bluetooth, Diigital Line Detect and RCIMGDIR.exe
in the startup menu of Windows 7, after installation?

hi JJPINOLA,
Can you boot into the BIOS, enabled RAID mode and set the following:
Boot Tab:
UEFI = Disabled
CSM = Disabled (if applicable)
Security Tab:
Secure Boot = Disabled (if applicable)
Exit Tab:
OS Optimized Defaults = Other OS or Disabled (if applicable)
When done, press F10 to save and exit BIOS then proceed in re-installing Win7. Also, do consider checking the HDD and the SSD's health by running a diagnostic outside of Windows.
To create the diagnostic disc:
a. On another machine, download the UBCD ISO and burn in using imgburn.
b. Insert the bootable diagnostic disc that you just created into the defective computer and reboot
c. Configure the BIOS to boot from the disc (BIOS > Startup Tab > Startup/Boot Sequence)
d. On the diagnostic options, navigate to HDD > Diagnosis > & choose the diagnostic software depending on the brand of your HDD (i.e. choose Seagate for DOS if you have a Seagate HDD)
e. Alternatively, follow this guide to burn the diagnostic softwre on a flashdrive,

  • T500 with recovery disks 45M3789: xp pro possible?

    I am trying to figure out if I can use this recovery disk to get back XP Pro:
     Mfg part #                    FRU part #          Description
    45M3789                       00000000       XPPW7PW7RCVUSE:BOMS,
                                                                     NOT SHIPPABLE ACROS
    T500 model  2082-bku originally came with XP but  was upgraded to windows 7 which wiped out hard drive. No backup disks were separately burned from the XP hard drive before the upgrade.  
    Unit came with this recovery disk but I cannot find any reference to it anywhere. I am reluctant to go thru wiping out hard drive until I have some idea what I will end up with. Anyone have this or know what it does, and specifically if it will get XP somewhere where I can end up using it?  Any help appreciated. (I have to go back and reuse some obsolete software which is incompatable with Win 7.)

    Hi bacall9y,
    I'm sorry. The info i found about  Mfg part #45M3789 is more complicated than i expected. It seems to me that this package Mfg part #45M3789 has different CDs. 
    I suggest you to speak with Sales person as they know much more than me. Maybe you can ask for recovery media as well since you do not create one for yourself when you received the machine.
    In the mean time, why don't you try out the windows xp mode in win 7? I understand you would like to run some programs that is not compatible with win 7. I also notice that you have Win 7 Professional version. Perhaps you can check out the Windows XP Mode in Win 7 and the FAQ.  In short, this feature allow you to install and run programs that are only compatible with windows XP while you're in Win 7 environment.
    FYI, this Windows XP Mode feature offered by Microsoft only for Win 7 Enterprise, Professional and Ultimate version.

  • 0X4001100200001012 error with windows recovery disk

    For quite some time (over a year), I've been seeing chat about this error when attempting to make recovery disks on Dell machines. Basically, a recovery disk made in windows 7 starts to boot, when tested, but then gets to what looks like the blue background
    for a normal startup screen and shows an error code  0X4001100200001012 error.
    Invariably, someone trots out advice about burning disks slower or running a file error check. Neither of these work. Some believe that the error has something to do with the Dell recover partition that all Dells ship with.
    If one boots with the windows 7 install disk, all goes well, and one can recover an image file, so it is definitely some sort of error introduced at the windows 7 recover disk creation process.
    I have seen this problem with 2, different model, Dells. An HP does not have the problem. Its recovery disks work fine. All three machines are running different versions of windows 7 64. 
    Do you have any insights into what is causing this error, and whether it can be remedies or if Dell owners just have to live with it? Calling Dell technical support is...well, lets just say that life is too short.

    Hi,
    According to your description, it indicates you have a problem with your recovery disk. It may be caused by recover disk creation process.
    You could refer to the similar thread; maybe they can give you some hits:

  • I need a windows recovery disk for my presario CQ71-203EF

    I purchased in Reunion Island (French Territory) but now live in Palau (US Territory).  I had a shop upgrade from Vista to 7 but I didn't know they installed non-genuine version 7.  I functions poorly and I just want to restore.  I no longer live in country where the pirate copy was installed, so can't go back to get fixed (if possible).  I believe the recovery in the machine is no longer available as overwritten by pirate version 7.  I think I need recovery disk.  I tried to buy on French HP site where model is recognised but they only send to France.  Model is not recognised on US site.  Can anyone tell me where I can get a recovery disk sent to Palau (IUS zip 96940)?  S/N is {Removed for privacy} and P/N NZ943EA

    If you have the product key from the CA sticker on the bottom of the notebook, you can download a legal copy of a windows 7 install disc, this will get windows installed, but not the HP drivers and software. Drivers and some software can be found on the HP website.

  • Hp windows recovery disk for windows 7 failing at 84% completion

    Hello,
    I have a HP Pavilion dv71-4100.  The hard drive failed so i purchased a new one and am now trying to reinstall windows through the three disks I got through HP. 
    Disk 1 work fine all the way through.  I then insert disk 2 when prompted and it begins working properly.  At 84% it stops and eventually pops up an error message (something with the C drive).
    Any ideas what I can do?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I've seen this error when the replacement HDD has a smaller capacity than the original, or it could just be a problem with the Recovery Media.
    Either way, here's an alternative option you could try.
    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 an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook - most likely Windows 7 Home Premium ) 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.  To avoid possible errors, it's best to burn the ISO at the slowest possible speed.
    Windows 7 Images.
    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.

  • Unable to make Windows recovery disk - HP Envy 15 - Windows 8.1

    While Windows is booting well, it seems I have to do a recovery.
    On booting and pressing F11I get the message
    Your PC needs to be repaired. A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.
    Error code 0xc0000225
    On the other side when I try in Windows "Create a recovery drive" I got a message on the second page telling me
    "Some necessary files are missing ..." and that's it!
    How to proceed ???

    You need to either ask a friend who has the very same Windows 8.1 version if you can make a usb Windows 8.1 recovery flash drive. You should be able to fix the error with it. You can purchase recovery media from HP.

  • Laptop dmv4 - how do i create a windows recovery disk?

    If my hard drive crashes and I need a windowd CD  how do I make one?

    Hi,
    Probably a bit late now, normally you have to create from day 1 or at least before the crash. It looks like you have to order a set from HP. Please use this:

  • Windows 7 has stopped booting and so has the recovery disk

    A few days ago by 2011 MBP 15" stopped booting in Windows. (Please help with any suggestions because all my works on the windows side)
    Holding down the option key while during switch-on brings up the normal choice of disks to boot from, Mac/Windows(7)/recovery 10.8.2. Mac OS 10.8.2 works OK and I can see and look at the bootcamp/windows drive in finder. However when I restart and click on the WIndows drive nothing happens for 5 minutes and then it boots into Mac OS.
    I've got a Windows recovery disk/DVD I produced awhile ago and have attempted to use that, however that hangs in the same way as booting to Windows.
    If I access Mac OS disk utilities in Recovery 10.8.2 both the Bootcamp drive and the windows recovery DVD are listed as 'bootable = no'  which explains the problem. How do I fix it please?
    It's all worked well until afew days ago. As far as I remember I've not changed any settings or done any software updates. What's happened?  Thanks for any help suggested.
    Alastair

    Found a work round but not a fix
    While I've not found a fix to the boot problem but I've come across a work round.
    On another forum it was suggest installing the trial version of VMWare fusion. It worked with a little fiddling around and is a temporary solution for 30 days on a free trial.
    If you have any ideas, please help with the original problem. Why did it stop working and how do I fix it. I'm not keen on using VMWare as it costs. Thanks

  • AHH Thinkvantage Rescue and Recovery won't let me get into Windows RecoverY!

    So I'm having the error Windows failed to start; NLS data is missing or corrupt. What I've read on the internet told me said that I should enter the Windows Repair disk and proceed. I don't have an optic drive, nor was my tablet (X61T) shipped with discs. I've created a bootable image of the windows recovery disk on a USB, but when I enter it the only option is to go into thinkpad rescue and recovery. There's no way around this as far as I can see. Also, windows doesn't start at all, no safe mode, no last working configuration, none of those. 
    Thinkvantage R&R doesn't let me do the same repair function as Vista, nor can it restore from vista's backups as far as Ican see. The only option is Full restore, as quick restore is not pressable.
    HELP! I don't even want this stupid program anymore, is there any way to uninstall it?
    And I was going to just make a copy of the HD and factory reset it, but when I recovered all the files and was double checking, some of the files which I have hidden were missing, so I can't go about wiping it anymore. Please help!

  • Windows8 recovery disk

    I need the windows recovery disk for my computer

    Hi there @Chrisnov80 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that you are looking for a recovery disk for your system. I am happy to help with this.
    Firstly, is your system completely non-functional? It may be possible to use the factory installed recovery image if it is intact. See the following:
    Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
    Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems (Windows 8)
    If not then, look through this page which explains how you can get a set of recovery media:
    HP PCs - Obtaining HP Recovery Discs or an HP USB Recovery Drive
    I hope this helps.

  • T500 - Windows Update no longer works after using factory recovery disks.

    I'm running  Windows 7 32bit.  I needed to restore my T-500 hard drive because of a fatal windows registry error caused by a 3rd party registry cleaner/tuner software... Windows 7 was DOA .   
    I used the factory recovery disks I created after I first fired up the laptop in April this year, all went well, Windows 7 booted up, and I went through the "Starting Widows for the first time" setup dialog, Windows 7 sucessfully activated... also verfifed it on the Microsoft website. 
    Went into control panel to have windows update pull down all of the critical updates released after I got my Thinkpad and I got a pop up saying "windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer." 
    I checked... the windows update service is running, so is BITS.  Following suggestions from Microsoft support, I have 1)deleted the softwaredistribution folder from C:\windows, 2) run their "fixit tool", 3) renamed the CatRoot2 folder in C:\windows'system32, all to no avail each time I tried to use windows update after each "fix". 
    I decided to check here if anyone here has gone down this path before and ask what fixed it?
    I'm waiting for Microsoft support to reply to my last email informing them the last instructions to rename the CatRoot2 folder and retry windows update failed. They now have a copy of my windowsupdate.log file sent to them.
    How about it... does this situation sound familiar to anyone?
    Thanks.   

    I run into the same problem with fresh installation of W7 Pro on T530 with 1TB samsung disk.
    This solution worked for me:
        Running check for updates will trigger this error message:
    “Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.”  
    Solution:
    1.    Go to Administrative Tools/Services, and stop the Windows Update service.
    2.    Then go to the folder c: /Windows/SoftwareDistribution and delete all of the files and folders.
    3.    Then go back to Services and restart the Windows Update service which will recreate all of those folders again.
    4.    Then manually run the Update Service and everything should work.

  • T500 Recovery disk for Windows 7 64 bit

    I have received Recovery diskWindow 7,64 bit and they do not appear to be valid.
    Does anyone have the same recovery disk? If yes, do you have three files in theWindows 7 statup menu after installing the recovery disks?

    Hi,
    please apologize, but I'm a bit lost.
    In you first post you noticed following: "I have received Recovery diskWindow 7,64 bit and they do not appear to be valid."
    I thought, that you have some issue with the maing Disks?
    Please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Please note, that the Recovery CD/DVDs are made for multiple systems with multiple configuration. The correct installation of the correct drivers is accomplished due to multiple scripts, that are executed, which detects your system configuraiton and according to their output, the appropriate drivers will get installed.
    I wanted to remark this as, there might be some differences in the installation of two systems, when they have other configuration.
    Please feel free to correct me if I missed some point.
    Cheers

  • Windows Vista Home Premium Recovery Disks won't work

    Have original disks for this Toshiba A215.  The hard drive failed so put in new hard drive. Got the missing boot manager message. so a tecn person used a cd and reformated the new hard drive. Still wouldn't run the recovery disks to install to factory defaults.  the Windows Vista sticker still on the computer with the activation code. So borrowed an install disk from a friend, but won't activate. Says it's not a valid activation code.  and still won't recognize my recovery disks. starts to run the recovery program then gives message - cannot enumerate.  What does it want to enumerate??

    cannot enumerate. 
    Try resetting the BIOS from AHCI mode to IDE or Compatibility or whatever you find there.
    Most likely the trouble is caused by a hard disk with advanced-format technology. After restoring, there will be more to do.
    Which Satellite A215? Always tell us that. There is a label on the bottom.

  • Windows Vista recovery disk

    I want to order a recovery disk for my laptop, however when i give them the computer's serial number and part number they tell me to select which disk i would like to purchase but the only option they give me is one with 64bit however my computer is running vista 32bit would i still be able to restore my computer or do i need the 32bit? If so what can i do to order it because this is my only option: SW Media - DVD-Satellite-L300-Win Vista 64bit Home Premium-EN as you can see it has 64bit.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    This is my serial number: 89577426Q
    And Part number: PSLB8U-14F025

    Hi Chicharito,
    I've forwarded the problem info to the people who manage the recovery media database so that it can be corrected.  Meanwhile, if you send me a Private Message with your daytime phone number I will also send that to Customer Service and request that they contact you.
    In case you weren't aware of this option, if your laptop is currently operating normally you should be able to restore the original hard disk image by first shutting down Windows and then holding down the zero ('0') key while the system boots up.  You should also be able to run the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator program to burn your own set of recovery media onto blank discs.
    Of course, you should also be able to order the correct recovery media so do send me a Private Message with the requested info if you'd like to continue down that path.  To access Private Messages, click on the small envelope icon in the upper right area of this and most forum pages. From there, click the 'Compose New Message' tab and enter "jim" in the 'Send To' field.

  • Windows XP recovery Disk for Install

    I have a Windows CP home Edition Disk that came with my Enpower PC but I want to install boot camp on my mac. I do not rly have the money to buy XP or Vista so I want to know if this disk will work or will it think this is an enpower machine and just blow up?

    Hi Ranlif and welcome to Discussions,
    Windows Recovery discs don't work with Boot Camp.
    BootCamp needs a "single full-install Windows installation disc. Service pack 2 is required for Windows XP installations."
    Such recovery discs also usually only work with the computer they originally came with.
    Sorry
    Stefan
