T60P - Trying to use Recovery Set

I have a T60P with a Product Type of 2007. I bought this off eBay and it does not have a HDD recovery partition. So I had called Lenovo TS and ordered a $50 recovery cd set. There are 4 discs in the set that are labelled "1" "2" "Drivers and Apps" and "Supplemental". I start/boot the Recovery from Disc 1 with the abbreviated image of Windows as instructions indicate. Right from the get-go, there is a conflict between the screen shows and the labels on the discs. After entering the language and passing the EULA, the screen prompt says "If you have a set of OS Recovery Disks, pls insert Disk 1 and press y otherwise press No". At this point, I have Disc 1 in the drive so pressing Yes gets me an error stating, "This is not the correct disk. Remove the disk and press OK". Sidebar: I believe this is calling for a recovery set that the user would have made at the start. I did not make a set thinking that the recovery partition would be present. And, as I said, it's not.
So, next the prompt comes back saying, ""If you have a set of OS Recovery Disks, pls insert Disk 1 and press Yes otherwise press No" Press No and now I'm faced with a prompt box saying, "Insert Product Recovery Disk 1 and press OK" Well, disc 1 is still in there so I press OK and an error appears, "This is not the correct disk. Remove the disk and press OK". So I deduce that it actually is looking for what I call disc 2 which is labelled " "Operating System Recovery Disc". Replace disc 1 with disc 2 and if I say "OK" I get an error saying, "This is not the correct disk. Remove the disk and press OK"
I gave the TS rep on the phone all the info on the laptop, serial nos, Product Codes, everything I could find.
What would be my next step? Am I following the correct sequence of uninserting and inserting discs? Is there anything someone sees I'm doing wrong?

Hello,
I don't have a T60p myself, but have you tried cycling through all of the CDs you were sent?

Hello,
Clear now. Your created recovery disk will not be supported on your unit. You need original HP recovery kit (708649-DH1) to recover your unit. Please share privately your name/address/phone and RCD kit will be shipped to you.

Trying to use recovery DVD's

Have 2 L655-S5150 Satellite laptops. Hard drive failure on laptop #1 and had to do a out of the box restore on laptop #2 using the hidden partition,...worked fine. Replaced the hard drive on laptop #1, and thus don;t have the partition set up that allows for the restore to out of the box conditions and am now trying to figure out how to get it to out of the box condition. I thought I could make recovery DVD's using the good laptop #1 and the media recovery utility that is on that Toshiba. DVD's are created but I can't boot to them...something about something missing. I have switched hard drives back and forth between the 2 laptops and the both work fine with the good HDD. What am I missing about this whole recovery concept? I was trying to avoid buying the DVD's from Toshiba. Doesn't it make sense that I could make the myself since I have a workng laptop that is the same model as the bad one? Thoughts about cloning the good HDD drive??? I've spent waaay too much time on this. I was able to put a windows 7 image onto that drive using a downloaded iso image from Microsoft. had to enter the key # from the bottom of the laptop, but that went fine. It doesn't give me all of the factory programs and all, which is indeed what I would like.
any help is appreciated.

hey Jerry,
Same make and model as the old one. Don't have it in front of me right now, but a Hitachi travelstar 320 Gb SATA drive. That new drive works fine in lapto #2 (just not a full out of the box assembly of programs...just windows 7 on that drive right now) I know it doesn;t have anything to do with the new drive b/c when I try to use the DVD's to boot the good laptop (#1) the exact same thing happens. It almost seems like when I use the Toshiba Recovery Media center to make the DVD's, it does not make them bootable. Is this possible? I have also tried this with a USB stick...same issue

Error message when trying to use recovery disks

Hello,
My hard drive failed, and I had remembered to create a Recovery Disk (2 DVD) in case this happened. I wanted to use the same hard drive, to see if I could get it back and running, but I get a message, which is in Norwegian since I am living in Norway and that is where I bought it, which says:
"HPs kundestøtte
Denne datamaskinen støtter ikke systemgjenopprettingsmediet. Du kan ikke gjenopprette dette systemet med mediet.
0110 - C9C2SEA #UUW - C9C26EA #UUW"
Can there be a problem with the recovery disk I created, or is it because of the failing hard drive? I would not like to buy a new hard drive just to find out it will not work, and that I will be obliged to go and buy a new operating system for this machine.
Thanks in advance for your replies

Keithley 6220 trying to use "Set Current Level.vi"

Hi,
I am trying to use the "Set Current Level.vi" given by Keithley. But the VI isn't working. When I enter a current level the output stays zero. Only the decimal point and the current range are set correct. I tried to locate the problem, but I am new in LabVIEW and can't find it.
for example, when i enter 10.000mA the output is 00,000mA
Can someone help me please?
thx
andre

The problem is you don't understand what you are setting. The 6220 us a current source and so it has no control over how much current an external sink draws. That is a function is the DC characteristics of the external circuitry.
All the 6220 can control is how much current it will allow the circuit to draw before it goes into current limiting. What you are setting is a limit so you won't see a difference unless your circuitry starts bumping up against it.
By the way in general there are two possible responses to an over current condition. The source can crowbar, which means it turns off the output, or it can go into current limiting where is starts dropping the output voltage until the current limit is reached.

A little more info besides "will not install" would help us to help you. For instance are you able/not able to boot from them. If you are able to boot from them where does the process fail-any error messages,etc?

Using Recovery media from an identical computer?

I don't have access to my original recovery media. Am I able to perform a factory restore using recovery media created on an identical HP Pavillion DV6-4023TX?
thanks

Hi,
I know for sure: using OS installation CD/DVD and the key at the bottom of the machine should NOT be a problem but I have not tried to use Recovery media from other machine(s). I think this won't work because the hardware signature otherwise people can clone easily. Yes, please post back the result.
Good luck.

I recently wanted to update my phone and so when i put it in recovery mode and tried to set it up it said that i had to enter the apple id that i used to set up the phone the first time but i dont know the information to my old account what do i do?

You will need to remember or find the id that you used, without it you won't be able to re-activate your phone - if you are on the activation screen then does that show the first letter of the id and the email provider's name ?
Do you know if you have any of the account's downloads in computer's iTunes library - if you do then you can get the id form that : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name.
If not then see if you can find it via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID.

How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion. I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?

How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion. I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?
The system I'm have is a Mac-mini that had SL on it and no SuperDrive. I have also call Apple Support and they have really have not been to much help over 1st did my up grade to Lion and Installed the Lion Server.... it lost my SSL that I paid for and kill almost on of my server setting, plus kill all my web servers (using apache vhosts), and not to say the LDAP will even let remote users login to your laptops.
PS: There is no way that I'm going to buy a Install USB from Apple... They have over billed me over $300.00 because the Apps Store still has bugs (Glad I did not write that App/Service)
If there is anyone that can give in the information to create a USB install stick, I would be very thinkful.

Here you are bro, courtesy of "softpedia.com"....brilliant site!!!
If you ever had problems with your Mac OS X installation you know that the first thing you should do is to check the startup volume using Disk Utility.
After the check has ended and, if the errors exceed a certain level of seriousness, the Disk Utility application will require you to restart your Mac and use its Mac OS X Install disc counterpart.
Other users may have to reinstall OS X altogether, but will find, or already know, that their SuperDrive (a CD/DVD reader and write combo drive) is not functioning properly and it will not be able to read the Install disc.
Although this might happen to Mac OS X Leopard users due to faultyhardware, the vast majority of problematic SuperDrives will be encountered inside Snow Leopard running Macs.
This is due to the updated SuperDrive firmware included in either the Install disc or the software updates one has to install to reach the latest version of OS X, namely 10.6.6.
This can be fixed by flashing the SuperDrive’s stock firmware using free command line tools that one can find for free online (I will write about this process also, but at a later time because this article only focuses on allowing you to create your own alternative USB boot disc).
If you are reading this last bit of information with skepticism, than you should know that it happened to me too. Despite all my tries to make it work properly, the SuperDrive kept on munching any inserted DVDs and just popped them out in about twenty seconds.
The workaround to this issue was to create my own Leopard bootable USB memory stick. I am not suggesting a Snow Leopard bootable stick mainly because there are lots of users that have decided to buy the cheaper, Upgrade version, which I have not tested and, therefore, I’m not sure if it will work properly once written to a USB disk.
And now, here are the exact steps you should follow in order to obtain a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) Install disc.
Step 1 (If you already have the Leopard install disc DMG file you can skip to Step 2)
Launch Disk Utility (you can find it inside /Applications/Utilities). Here select the Leopard Install disc in the list of drives on the left and click on the New Image menu entry at the top of the window. A save message will appear where you will have to select the Desktop as a destination.
Step 2
After Disk Utility has finished creating the Leopard DMG, insert your USB stick and erase all data and reformat the disk. To do this select the USB in the list of drives on the left and, after clicking on the Erase tab on the right side of the window, choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format and click the Erase button beneath.
Step 3
After the USB has been reformatted, download the SuperDuper app from HERE and launch it. Once SuperDuper starts, you will only have to select the DMG in the Copy drop-down menu, your USB memory stick on the right and hit the “Copy Now” button.
One can also use Disk Utility for this task but creating a bootable USB stick failed 2 out 4 times when copying the DMG to the stick (with the exact same settings each time). Creating the bootable stick using SuperDuper proved to be the perfect way to do it because it worked each of the 4 times I tested it.
The steps above can also be used to create a bootable Mac OS X Lion USB by using the InstallESD.dmg image you can find inside the Lion installer (named “Install Mac OS X Lion.app”) downloaded from the Mac App Store in the /Applications folder.
To locate the InstallESD.dmg right click the Lion installer, select the “Show Package Contents” entry, go inside the “Contents” folder, and from there into the “SharedSupport” folder. Inside this folder you can find the InstallESD.dmg you can use to create your own bootable Mac OS X Lion USB stick. To do so, go to the third step described above and use the InstallESD.dmg as the DMG to be copied to your USB disc.
That’s it! Once the process ends you will have a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) USB disk that you can use as an alternative to the Apple’s DVD Install disc that comes bundled with all Macs.
To use your newly created bootable disk you will have to restart the Mac, press and hold the OPTION key until the StartupManager appears. Here, select the Mac OS X Install disk using your keyboard arrows and press return to start from the selected drive.

Not able to use Recovery disc set

I have the hp pavillion g6 with windows 8.1. I have Webroot security that i bought witth my hp. I am always trying to be carefull when downloading anything. Recently i accidentally downloaded Outfox which made itself my search engine. Webroot blocked it. I tried to find it to uninstall, but was unable to. My computer has had serious issues since. Pages wont load, startup takes forever or wont start So i shut down and try again. My fans are running like i have it in the oven. I created back up disks off my D: drive A while back before the problem. I then deleted the drive as suggested to free up space. whn i tried to use the discs to correct my issues, it says invalid media. What can I do?

From reading through your posts it appears that you made backup disks instead of a recovery disk set. They are definitely not the same thing.
I highly ecommend purchasing a set of recovery disks from HP or an HP partner. Te recovery disk set will allow you to recover to the originally installed operating system. You will have to upgrade to Windows 8 and 8.1 again if that is your preferred OS.
You said that you deleted the partition ( I take it you meant the recovery partition) as recommended. I am quite certain that was not a recommendation by HP and it was very unlikely to have been a recommendation from an Expert here in the forum.

Pavilion dm1 Making A Recovery Set Using USB Flash Drive

I have a Pavilion dm1 for which I have tried to create a Recovery Set using a USB flash drive. However, on starting the Recovery Manager, I find I can only use discs......but the Pavilion dm1 has NO disc drive and no facility therefore to burn discs!!! Am I wrong to be completely puzzled by this? Does anyone have any idea at all, other than to purchase an external disc drive which I really do not want to do?? HP will sell me a Recovery Set but again ONLY ON DISC!! Seems absurd that a piece of kit that has no disc drive will only be able to be recovered using a disc! I confess to being a bit computer illiterate so maybe I am missing something. Any help most gratefully accepted.

Since you can see it in your device list it must have Find My Mac activated, but you're going to have to wait for them to take it online in order to either locate, lock or wipe it. Until it goes online you can't do anything. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/find-my-device/

When you reset to factory settings, the computer is de-authorised.
In iTunes menu Store > View Account > sign in > App Store > Deauthorise All.
Once done, authorise this computer iTunes.

Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed.

After erasing drive, tried to use Internet Recovery to download a bootable system

hi
i need some help.
after erasing the drive on my macbook Air, I tried to use Internet Recovery to download a bootable system, but after going through the motions of the spinning world globe and (probably) actually downloading something (it takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour to finish) and after it restarts, it cant find any system, and subsequently gives the folder with question mark, not able to find any bootable system.
what am i doing wrong?
how can i get mountain lion on it (like before) so that i can upgrade to mavericks?
thanks

The Online Internet Recovery system, Cmd + Option/alt + r keys at startup, will give you whichever OS X version originally came on that Mac when it was shipped from the factory new. That is IF it originally came with one of the Download Only version of OS X, Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks.
If it originally came with Lion Yes you will need to buy Mt Lion from the Mac App Store or get Mavericks for Free. If it originally came with Mt Lion the newer Point version of that will be downloaded and installed.
