Folio 13-2000 unable to create recovery media due to known SSD corruption bug
My folio has been freezing and periodically showing the 'no boot drive' message. I tracked it down to the critical Softpaq sp60976. I tried to create recovery media (USB flash drive), but it fails at about 19% completion and says it cannot continue. The SSD firmware update requires a secure wipe of the drive, but I won't have anything to put back on it.
My computer is out of warranty by a year. Is there really no recovery media, even for purchase, from HP? I'll take DVD, as I can attach an external DVD drive.
This question was solved.

Unable to create recovery media on a new T440
Hello,
I am new here. I have a brand new T440 which I am populating and customising.
I created a new partition on the HDD using MiniTool Partition Wizzard. That may have created the problem - I can't create the recovery media. I get a message that the files are not there. I should have done it before partitioning - too late now.
However, using the Partition Wizzard, I can assign a drive letter to the Recovery partition, and it becomes visible in Windows Explorer (File manager). I can copy the content on an external HD drive.
If I ever need to do recovery - will it work from this? Has anybody tried this before?
Solved!

Were you able to obtain factory recovery media?
Please let us know how things turned out.
Cheers.

W540, Windows 8: Unable to create recovery media
Hello,
today I received my new worklaptop, a W540 with Windows 8 installed.
The first think I wanted to do was to create recovery media (I'm going to re-install on a SSD). However, trying to run the Windows 8 "Create recovery media" tool, as sugested by Lenovo, results in the following:
The option "Copy the recovery partition ..." is grayed out, and I can not select it. Pressing Next results in the following:
What am I doing wrong ?
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.You should be able to order recovery media from support. They usually charge for the media but in this case they may not. I can't speak for them - you'll have call and see how it goes...

Re: Unable to create recovery media flash drives
I recently purchased a new Toshiba netboo NB305-N440BL and upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium. Using the "Create Recovery Media" wizard, as suggested, I attempted to create the recovery media on two flash drives. The flash drives were brand new and had never been formatted.
When inserted the "wizard" program stated that the Flash drives needed to be formatted, but when I asked that they be formatted, the program said that there was an error and they could not be formatted. I then formatted the drives using Windows Explorer Disk Management, reinserted the drives and received the same "...needs to be formatted, but wouldn't format ..."message. I also received "error code 040E2D-00-00000000".
I Googled this error message and found two others who had the same problem with their Toshiba net books when they attempted to create the back up material. There were no responses to their requests for help.Is there another approach to making the back ups?
Thank youI finally gave up and returned the computer to tech service at Fry's where I bought it.They found that the OS did not recognize the flash drives at any of the USB ports, so they exchanged the computer for a new one ( I was still within the 15 days after purchase for a return) and the new computer works perfectly, Thanks for all the suggestions.

Unable to create recovery media
Starting the Option to Create the recovery media I only get an application crash in "rrmedia.exe". Is there any other way to create the recovery media? Or is it possible to simply reinstall something?
ctron, welcome to the forum,
it would be helpful if you could post which ThinkPad, Operating System and version of R&R you have installed. This will hopefully help members help you.
Thanks

I'm a brand new Toshiba user and happy so far...64bit Home Premium-EN for Satellite C855D-S5203.
I bought it used and ordered the Acclaim Recovery Media. Looking around I see an option to restore to the factory defaut by powering up holding down the zero key and following the instructions. This made me wonder why I would need the recovery media.
What am I missing or did I but something I didn't need?
Thanks!Hi ! If the recovery partition is still on your HD, you can restore back to factory with it; however I don't think the O key applies to your model You could have made your own recovery DVD's if the recoverey partition is still on your drive. Here is your user guild. Restoring back to factory starts on page 53!

Unable to download recovery media after upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10
Purchased computer with Windows 8.1 preinstalled on July 9, 2015. Dowloaded to discs recovery media for Windows 8.1. Elected to download Windows 10 and installed same on July 30, 2015. Attempted to download recovery media for Windows 10 but refused because only 1 download is permitted. How do I get the computer to download Windows 10? Also for some reason the warranty start date is May 5, 2015 rather than the date I registered the computer with HP. How can I change the start date?

Unable to order Recovery Media
I own and run a computer repair business in West Union SC, and I was trying to order recovery CD's for a couple notebooks for customers of mine. The order process stalled on my business's shipping address: it said "Primary address range is invalid." But the McDonald's across the street had a street number one greater than mine, and it took that. Also, the USPS, UPS, and FedEx all have delivered here, no problems.
When I called customer service, they told me they could not manually override anything. After I entered the order with the closest address which would let me proceed, I tried to call customer service to get them to change the shipping address back to MY street number. They refused. Then when in frustration I told them to cancel the order, they refused that too. (I am currently pursuing a complaint through my bank card to dispute this charge.)
This was all done through their acclaim.toshiba.com website, and it was one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. They would not let me talk to anybody but "case managers" who were uncooperative and whose supervisors were simply unavailable to speak to.
Instead, I have found the same CD's through a 3rd party website (restoredisks.com) and for $10 cheaper, free shipping.
Guess what I am going to be advising my hundreds of customers when it comes to their laptop buying decisions.And... THEY accepted our address, no problem! Think I will be buying anything from Toshiba from now on? No.

Buy probook 4530s recovery media
hi
i want buy recovery media but after calling hp they said that they cann't sent recovery media to pakistan.so can i buy from the link below
http://server88-208-222-62.live-servers.net/hp/hprecovery/hp.asp?keywords=how+to+do+recovery+media+i...Hi,
Assuming you need to reinstall a version of Windows 7, here's an alternative ( and cost free ) option you could use.
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 a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version of Windows 7 that originally came with your notebook ) 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.

2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
3. Have you installed any new hardware on this computer, before the issue appeared?

Hi,
While I am preforming a media creation set (using Discs) the process goes well until it reaches the verifying phase and it sends an error after a while saying that it can't verify my media (I've tried it twice and it still the same).
Now I tried to make in Safe Mode but when I try to launch the Recovery Media Creation it tells me to install Battery while it's installed.
I tried to contact HP but the server didn't recognize my product and sent me to US/Canada Server, but They Couldn't offer help, I can't call HP cause it's so expensive and can't afford that credit to call them !
Help If Possible !Hello Nakamura011. I understand you've been unable to create recovery media.
Have you tried using a different brand of discs?
Have you had any trouble burning any other media?
What is the full name of the notebook? I can't seem to locate any information for that product number. You could also verify that the product number is correct. This document can show you where the product number is located.
You could also try using a USB thumb drive to create the Recovery Media. This article contains the instructions for creating the USB media.
If this is helpful or you want to say thanks make sure to click the white star under my name to give me Kudos. I really appreciate it!
I'll keep an eye out for your reply. I hope you have a great day.

I bought an used W510 laptop. It seems the seller didn't recover it back to original state and only installed a fresh Win7Pro because there is no ThinkVantage software or other software installed. But I am still want to make a recovery media in case I need it in the future.
In my case, should I install ThinkVantage to make recovery media? (it may not make sense because some original software may not be installed )
Or should I use ghost to make an image for future use?
Thanks,It depends on what you have. You could have an OEM OS, a retail OS or a pirated copy. Go to the control panel and select "system", and check activation status. If you have an OEM key (it will say OEM somewhere in the key), a ghost reinstall will automatically activate, and you can choose to buy recovery disks by calling support. If you have a retail copy with a COA and a key, you can simply reinstall a retail copy and use your key to activate. If you have a pirated copy, I suggest buying recovery media.

I'm unable to recover Windows 8 from recovery media.
I am trying to do a system factory restore and have been unable to do so and am getting frustrated.
By the way I'm using the Thinkpad Twist s230u with Windows 8.0
Here is what I have done so far...
1) Created recovery disk on a USB drive (I don't have any CD/DVD on this laptop).
2) Rebooted and pressed F-11 to start recovery mode
3) Chose my language and keyboard
4) Selected "Troubleshoot" and "Reset PC"
5) Selected "Target - Windows 8"
At this point, I get the message "Insert Windows Install or recovery media."
I insert the USB disk.
I get the message "Media inserted is not valid."
6) So I backtrack to "Troubleshoot". Instead of "Reset PC" I choose "Advanced Options"
7) I choose "System Image Recovery"
Now I get the message "Windows cannot find system image"
WTH? I am sure that the USB media was created correctly and the recovery partition is intact on HDD 2 (Windows Disk Management shows the recovery partiation as "Hard Drive 2"). I try to browse for an image and it' asking me for a driver that has system info? I can't get it to find the recovery partition, and it doesn't look like the USB disk has enough information to restore an entire OS.I believe I have solved this problem by using a partition manager, making a copy of the recovery partition to the primary drive. Then "reset pc" seemed to recognize it.
