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

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.

Creating a recovery disk for windows 8

need to create a recovery disk for windows 8, on HP Pavilion g6-2238dx Notebook PC...getting error message because I unintentionally deleted part of the program... now it won't boot up... 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?
THank you

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 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,

New windows 8 recovery disks from HP installed but won't work

I installed a new hard drive in a friends Dell G6-2249WM. She didn't make recovery disks so I ordered them from HP.
They seem to install fine, I click "Finish" and the notebook shuts down. When I start it I get:
Boot device not found
Please install an operating system on your hard disk
Hard disk (3F0)
F2 System diagonstics
for information, please visit: www.hp.com\go\techcenter\startup
I've run Hard drive diagonstics, it passes.
I've reset the bios to default.
I've hit Esc at start up, then hit F11 - the notebook then just goes back to the above "Boot device not found" screen.
I've removed all formating on the drive (on another computer). Reinstalled the Recovery disks and still have the same problem.
I received 3 Windows 8 Recovery disks and 1 Application and Recovery DVD from HP.

Sorry, your right, the one I'm working on is a HP G6-2249WM. MY laptop is a Dell. I did reseat the drive after the first install try. The hard drive test says it passes. I just tryed reinstalling the disks without the 4th "Application and driver disk". still didn't work. It formats and loads all the files on the disks but then won't start the recovery after shut down. I took the drive out and connected it to my desk top computer. I has 2 partitions, one with 18.9 gb with one boot.sdi, one boot.wim a seperate RM folder containing several base.swm files and one bild.wim file. The other partition is empty. Is there a way to force the recovery partition to unpack and start?

Recovery Disk for windows 7

I upgraded to windows 7 via the disk sent to me from Toshiba; how do you get or make the recovery disk for

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.

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!

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.

T500 Windows 7 recovery disk installation

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,

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.

How do I make a windows 10 recovery disk

How do I make a back-up/recovery disk for Windows 10? I made one when I bought this machine that had Windows 8.1 on it but I don't recall how I did it. Help please. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi there
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 method to make a recovery disk for your system after upgrading to Windows 10. I am happy to help with this. The method you would have used to make recovery media for your original operating system would be to use the factory installed recovery manager. As an FYI for the Windows 8 method -Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems (Windows 8)HP PCs - Creating and Using a System Image to Restore Your Computer (Windows 8) However those tools are not going to help for making a Windows 10 image. For Windows 10, the intention of Microsoft is to dispense with recovery images, however there are still ways to make one. Here are a few pages I found that cover the options in the operating system, how to make a repair disk, and to make an image. Recovery options in Windows 10 - windows.microsoft.comHow to Create a USB Recovery Drive in Windows 10 - www.tenforums.comReset Recovery Image - Create in Windows 10 - www.tenforums.com I hope this helps.

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.

Hi,
For normal computer, we only have Windows 85, 98, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and now Windows 8.1. Probably you need a recovery discs set for your machine. Please call HP technical support: 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
