Use HP Recovery disk for Win7 when using SSD in DV3-2350ed?

Hi,
Does anyone know if I can replace my HDD with an SSD en still use the HP recovery disk? I've seen some problems with the one for windows Vista but never hear about the HP Recovery Disk problems to install on SSD.
My HDD will be places in a 2nd drive caddy in place of the optical drive.
And en new SSD will boot the system i Hope.
Does anyone have experience with this? I don't want to buy an expensive SSD if it won't work!!
Best regards.

Well as far as I know since the optical drive is SATA you can use the secondary Hard Disk.
For the SSD, take an image from the partition where the system is.
And restore it on SSD by using Windows Repair.
I'm not sure 100% but as a concept it's possible since there already people doing this method or vice versa.

  • Can I use same recovery disk for two identical computers?

    I own two PCs, model m8034n, which were identical when I bought them. If I order a Windows Vista recovery disk for one of them (specifying the serial number when I order), will I be able to use it to restore the other computer to its factory condition?

    I imagine as long as the Vista versions are the same on both computers it would be OK to use it.  No guarantee it will work but you may try.

    I do not have recovery disks for this computer.  I tried to order them but them seem to not be available.  This is my daughter's computer.  She says she started to have trouble after downloading Frost Wire (music share) and then she removed it.  We tried going back to an earlier time and that didn't help and then the blue screen with error message appeared. What do I do now?

    Hi,
    Assuming your in the US, recovery discs are available to order for that model here.  That may be the best option.
    You should also be able to do a recovery without the discs as well.  Take a look at this document: Recover Windows Vista Operating System Using HP Recovery, and look for the section Restore the PC to its original condition with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not accessible.  This should allow you to recover the PC.

I get to a message that says...Windows restarted Unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error.  Windows install cannot proceed, click ok .  When I do that the program restarts... it repeats the process over and over... Any Suggestions?

    Try tapping away at the F11 key immediately after powering on the laptop to get into HP Recovery Manager which can be used to do a System Recovery back to Factory settings.

  • Recovery disks for X240

    Son's school computer hard drive crashed.  Looks like the recovery partitions migh tbe okay but when I called Lenovo they said they were sending a new drive and the recovery disks for Windows 8.1.  Unfortunately the disks are back ordered.  Any way to create them from another machine (Lenovo Helix) or are they downloadable?  My understanding is the key is imbedded in the machine BIOS.
    I need this running again so I can get another battery to replace the one that died (have to be able to read the error message).
    Solved!

    Hi,
    I don't know what kind of luck you'd have using media created on a different model machine.  The Lenovo media isn't downloadable to my knowledge.
    What you can do, if you don't mind the fuss, is use the link below to download Microsoft media.  If you need the Lenovo stuff too to get past the battery issue, you can then install ThinkVantage System Update and use it to load the Lenovo drivers and software.

    You will only know about the hard drive when you try to access it in TDM from your other computer. If you cannot boot into TDM mode or if the drive does not appear on the new computer's Desktop then it is likely bad.
    What you are thinking about as a recovery disk is the Recovery HD normally created when you install Lion or later on the computer. You boot from it as follows:
    Boot Using Command+R keys:
      1. Restart the computer.
      2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
          "COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
      3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.

  • Dead Hard Drive / Windows 7 / No Recovery Disks for HP G61-632NR Notebook PC

    My harddrive is completely DEAD.  Is there a way to find out using my serial number if my laptop came with 32 bit or 64 bit?  There is NO information at all in the documents I kept with the box.  Only the receipt.  I see I can only order recovery disks for 64 bit online as 32 bit is not available.  I don't' want to pay for them if they won't work. I'm so frustrated this laptop is only a little over 2 years old.

    Thanks so much!

    With an upgrade, you'd have to first reinstall Vista, using the recovery media, then you'd have to apply the upgrade.
    A better solution is to buy a program like Acronis TrueImage and use it to make a restorable image backup of your hard drive with Windows 7.

  • Recovery Disk for HP Pavilion dm4-2181nr Entertainment Notebook PC

    I have a HP Pavilion dm4-2181nr Entertainment Notebook PC and need to get it restored back to windows 7 after upgrade to windows 8.
    I have tried the F11 system restore option at boot but it says a boot file is missing, so that is not working.
    I am in search of the recovery disk for this system module as i did not create a back up recovery disk before the upgrade.
    Does anyone have this and is willing to upload online so i get it, or of there is a way to get this done.
    Looking forward to your assistance.

    Please order the discs for your HP Pavilion dm4-2181nr Entertainment Notebook Computer directly from HP online at "Order software and driver media" or by contacting HP Customer Support by phone, email, or chat.
    Alternatively, you may try setting the HP recovery partition as "Active" using the Windows "Disk Management" console and then rebooting the computer.

  • Help!! I am in need of the recovery disks for a Satellite 2445-S305.

    Hi all,
    I am needing the recovery disks for a Satellite 2445-S305.  I know this is an old one but still serves its purpose.  I just tried to reload back to factory with my disks but they are in bad shape and not working!  I hope someone can help me out.  I own the laptop and it has the COA for XP home and I have the original disks.  I can offer proof that I am not trying to scam and get the OS for free.  Reason for going back to factory is that when I load XP PRO the device manager show one "unknown device" and I can not solve this.  I have run across this before in the past and found a solution but I do not remember what it took to solve.  Thanks for any help!

  • Recovery disks for my HP Pavilion DV 9500 Windows Vista home premium

    Does anyone know where I can find recovery disks for my HP Pavilion DV 9500 Windows Vista home premium?? According to HP, disk pn is 446537-004.

    Excuse me for not understanding the solution so well....
    So I need to purchase an OS for my computer - like windows 7 ??
    And I need to download drivers from hp.com - there is a long list of drivers and they are dependent on the operating system - which ones do i need (all??) and supposedly I need to get a new operating system first??
    Could I try to just reload drivers before purchasing a new OS - is that possible ?? maybe it is a driver problem and not an OS problem ?? If this is possible, how do I determine which drivers to download and what order to try to install them??
    Sorry that I am not so knowledgeable
    Thanks,
