When starting up my HP g62 notebook with recovery disks pixels are HUGE and i cannot proceed

The problem I was tryinmg to fix was that while booting up, the screen goes black, although the motherboard is working and I can hear the whirring of the disk drive. So I figured I would start up and recover the whole ststem...but when I did this, the screen was made up of HUGE pixels..everything qwas huge, including the cursor.

Hello Liontail, welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that when you try to do the recovery with disks, the "pixels are huge" and it makes it so you cannot proceed. I will try to help you with this.
A suggestion to start with that may make it so its not so large on the screen.
press ctrl + minus (-) or ctrl and scroll on your mouse, this acts as a zoom feature. It may allow you to continue.
You may also have to adjust the screen resolution.
Please let me know if that's able to help you.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
I worked on behalf of HP.

    I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. Suddenly, the "timeout" is not allowing me to connect to my wireless network.

    It could be that there's a new source of interference.

    Your redemption code was used to acquire an activation code.  The activation code is what you need to use when you want to reinstall/enable the software again.  Check your Adobe account online to see if the number(s) can be found there.

    When using compressor voice is not sync with video. What causes this and how to fix it, please?

    Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
    Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
    If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
    Let us know how you get on.

    when i try to install snow leopard with install disk, it has me restart the computer instead of installing. can anyone help me figure out how to get the disk to actually install?

    Ok, it's just a glitch that it's not auto-rebooting from the disk.
    Please backup your personal files off the machine to a regualr external drive and disconnect all drives before doing anything
    Take the 10.6 disk out and clean and polish the bottom with a very soft clean cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to cut the oils.
    Stick the disk in and reboot holding c key down, this will make it boot from the disk and you can install Snow Leopard that way.

  • I am unable to Install windows xp with recovery disks.

    I have a Toshiba’s Satellite Pro S300-10J laptop Model#PSSB0E-02H00FDU. Some days back its operating system got corrupted. I have its recovery disks(windows Xp)  and now I am trying to reinstall the windows by using recovery disks but unable to do so. Actually when I insert disk 1 it start installation process and then prompt for 2nd disk and when I insert 2nd disk it starts unpacking software image process. At the end it shows a pop up box with the following information.
    Info:
                    Done(Files:28339/28339 Folders: 2558/2558).
                    Please remove the recovery medium!
                                                    |OK|
    As I remove the 2nd disk and press ok and then exit it goes shut down instead of rebooting. When I press power button to on it then it goes stuck on windows startup with a message of please wait .
    Please support that how can I get rid of this situation and can restore operating system with recovery disk.

    I made another attempt but nothing goes productive.
    One thing is clear that the recovery disks are ok because a few months back I used same disks to refresh my notebook and did it without any error.
    There might be a chance of bios setting because in my absence my sister and her friend tried to install windows and I doubt her friend made some changes in bios but she says that she didn’t made any change except boot priority and during installation got the error.
    I have already rest the bios setting to default and in SATA CONTROLLER MODE I changed it from AHCI into IDE.
    With recovery disks of XP Installation starts and after image loading it doesn’t restart just goes shut down and upon restarting just stop responding/hang up on startup.
    I tried with another CD of XP and during installation when system restarts setup continues on ‘INSTALLING WINDOWS’ with the message that ‘Setup will complete in approximately 35 minutes ‘Installing devices’ and at this stage it hanged up. Finally it shows blue screen with an error like
    Technical Information
    STOP: 0X000000F4 (0X0000003,0X89936670,0X899367E4,0X805D1142)
    Beginning dump of physical memory.
    On several attempts the result remains same.
    Need your valuable advice please..

  • Re: Is Satellite L300D provided with recovery disk?

    Hi,
    I do not get a recovery disk when I bought my Satellite L300D.
    Does anyone know If Satellite L300D is provided with recovery disk?
    As far as i know computers manufactured from mid 2007 are no longer provided with recovery disks for the operating system. How do I know what year my satellite is manufactured?
    Many thanks

    All new notebook models including your one are delivered without recovery DVD.
    Recovery image is saved on second partition in folder called HDDRecovery.
    Akuma is right. You must create recovery media using preinstalled "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator". The shortcut you can find on the desktop. Please do this and for recovery media creation I recommend you to use high quality DVD-R media like TDK or Verbatim.
    You can install OS using F8 button at start up. The guideline how to do this you can find under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
    Please note. This can be done if this recovery image is not modified or if you install other operating system on first partition. the second partition can be in original state but this F8 option will be gone.
    If you have more questions please let me know.

  • I connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone.

    i connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone. what should i do.?

    First, you do not have a 3G if you could upgrade it to 6.1.3, because 4.2.1 is the last version that will work on the 3G. So you either have a 3GS or you somehow hacked the phone to install an incompatible version. You can check the model you have by entering your serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    Assuming you have a 3GS the most likely reason for your problem is you have a gray market phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. When you upgraded it you removed the hack, so the phone is now locked to its original carrier.

  • Having problem with Recovery Disk assistant. Help

    Hi apple community.
    I am having trouble with Recovery Disk Assistant.
    I want to re-install my mountain lion to restore all settings to default without deleting my personal data (e.g. Movies, documents, pictures, downloads, dowloaded programs like Photoshop cs6 and other downloaded apps)
    I want to make a bootable usb for mountain lion.
    so i am using the Recovery Disk Assistant.
    And when i open the Recovery disk assistant, i was expecting that the OS that will go onto the usb was Mountain lion. But i get OS X Lion instead.
    Of course i dont want to downgrade my mountain lion to its previos version of OS X which is Lion.
    How should i do this? Thanks.

    RDA simply copies your Recovery partition to the flash drive. If you're sure you have a Lion Recovery system, but you're running ML, then you need to download the ML installer from the App Store and run it.

  • System restore not working, even with recovery disks

    I have a Touchsmart Tx2 1020us. I want to completely restore it to factory settings.
    when i use the recovery manager it pops up saying that there isn't a recovery partition and to insert disk #1. i bought the recovery disk set from HP and put disk 1 in. it then says to click on next. when i click on next the computer just shuts itself down. it never restarts, just turns itself off. 
    i also tried using the "press f11 repeatedly at startup" method. after pressing f11 a ton of times my computer just begins this shrill beeping sound and will not stop until you stop pressing f11. 
    so basically i've tried every method on this page :http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00809678#N554    with absolutely no results. 
    any ideas on how to get this stupid system restore to work? 

    Hi,
    Since you deleted your recovery partitions and your recovery disk set has issues you will need to purchase a set of recovery disks from HP or from an HP Partner. the cost is around $25.00 USD.
    It is unfortunate, but when you deleted the recovery partitions you limited the options that were previously available to you.
    Nonexistance or modification of the recovery partition is the reason that neither F11 from startup nor Recovery Manager from within Windows does not work. 
    Best regards,
