8.1 Windows recovery options

Hello

I am reluctant to create recovery discs, because it is a process of time & I don't want to take the risk of burning coasters. I see on another thread that there is a link to a download of the ISO of Windows 8. You also have a link for a download of ISO 64-bit Windows 8.1.

Thank you.

Hello

As far as I know, there is no download good reputation for an OEM Windows 8.1 image.  Saying that, if you have recently purchased this machine, you can create your set of recovery disks - will check every disc after burning, and if you have a problem, HP will generally send you a free replacement set if the machine is still under warranty.

Kind regards

    Hello

    Everything first here is my problem and would appreciate it if someone could help me.

    A few weeks ago my computer started to display the options disk failure hard immienent. By researching on the forums, I took the right steps in saving my info. I am running vista.

    Now, while that drive failure possible hard comes another question jumped right on top. When I restarted my computer (a dell desktop computer) it now only gives me the option to repair my computer (recommended) or a computer startup. When I choose to fix it, it gives me "Other account" which I also did some research. Now my desktop cd/dvd drive is broken so I can boot from a disk. Safe mode just reboots the computer, but also to restore them from a previous point. I guess I never put a name and password for the account of others.

    So how can I work around this or other what option should I?

If you don't do not create your media recovery, please visit the HP Support document entitled "Search recovery disks?" It seems that your computer may have been produced for the Asian and Australian regions.

  • System Recovery Options - no operating system listed, need to load the drivers, but don't know where to find this (Windows Vista 64-bit)

    It is a gateway M6866 laptop running Windows Vista 64-bit.

    The computer does not start up--gives "BOOTMRG is missing" error at startup.  I'm trying to boot from the 64-bit of Windows Vista recovery disc.  I clicked on the "repair your computer" option, and it shows the computer loading files.  Then the "System Recovery Options" box appears and asks me to select the operating system to fix it.  The problem is that nothing has listed.  It is said that if your OS is not listed click Load Drivers.  I did, but it is said to insert the device installation media, and then click OK to select the driver.  I clicked on OK and then opens a browser window to select the file.

    I don't know which file I'm supposed to select here.  I searched online for an answer, and someone told him to go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the driver for RAID controller.  I tried to go to the site of the bridge to find it, but it doesn't seem to be one for Vista 64-bit.

    Please please help!  I have to at least be able to extract the files to the hard drive before reinstalling windows.

    ·        Have you Configure RAID on the system?

    If you have not configured then RAID on the system, I suggest you to disable the RAID/eSATA (SATA improved) in the BIOS. Once you turn off the RAID/eSATA on the system that your basic hard disk should be recognized by the system because it doesn't require any drivers, it will act as an IDE. Once you have disabled the RAID/eSATA then booting into the recovery environment and build the Bootrec and check if the problem is resolved. I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below to rebuild the bootrec.

    Rebuild the BCD store by using the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. get the Vista installation DVD and pop in your drive.

    b. then restart your computer.

    c. press a key when you are prompted.

    d. Select a language, a time, a currency, and a keyboard or another input method, and then hitNext

    e. click on repair your computer

    f. click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next

    g. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt

    h. type bootrec /rebuildbcd and then press the Enter"" key.

    ·        If Bootrec runs successfully, it will present you with the installation of a Windows directory path. To add the entry in the BCD store, type Yes. A confirmation message appears that indicates the entry has been added successfully.

    ·        If Bootrec cannot findany lack of facilities of Windows, you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it. To do this, type the following commands in the order shown below: (remember to press ENTER after each command)
    bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup
    Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old
    Bootrec /rebuildbcd

    i. restart the computer.

    I have a gateway with Windows Vista Home Basic x 32.  Recently, it would break any chance and will have to be turned off manually.  Some options in the start screen and I would always click on start windows normally.  Today, I went through the process and came up with the blue screen of death.  He said that if this is the first time you see this reboot, so I did.  Then the blue screen of death came once again, and he said to go in the system recovery options.  Having no idea how to do that I restarted again.  Then the recommended option was to go into system recovery thing, so I said to myself Oh well it will fix itself.  I went in there and he brought me to the system recovery option screen.  It is said to find my operating system in a list and there is no operating system indicating.  Then I read and it says if you do not have an operating system, then load the drivers here.  I click on that and there is a list of about 50 cases.  Inside of some folders are folders more.  I can't possible go through all records to find driver software that he wants me to.  I also never had a disc of windows vista with the purchase of the computer

  • Error System Recovery Options while trying to install Windows 7 on your laptop white (without os)

    I bought a Toshiba laptop satellite c55-c-174 with no OS on it. Downloaded Windows 7 from msdnaa and bootable usb drive created with PowerISO. Had a lot of trouble with the usb as a boot recognition, but then I changed the boot order to usb is just after the drive hard (i.e. second). Also in the configuration system changed boot at CSM Boot Mode. And it's system BIOS version 5.10.

    Finally, he started installation, but found no drivers. So I tried Startup Repair option. Didn't fix it, just at the point where I tried to access the repair your computer option again it says error System Recovery Options: this version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of windows that you want to repair. Try to use a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of windows.

    Someone has the power to deal with this?

    Thanks in advance.

    ISO power not recommended to bootable media.  The prompt for drivers almost always means that the media is bad, because all modern SATA drivers are in the installation media.

    I create flash support using Rufus for UEFI/GPT, then start using only the Key of the BIOS Boot Menu.  Choose the UEFI version to the flash stick, then custom Setup, remove all partitions until the space unallocated click beside the AutoShape and start.

    If you have changed all the UEFI BIOS configuration settings, set them in the UEFI firstly, turn off Secure Boot, CSM disabled, Windows Boot Manager set first to start.  If, in case of doubt poster of photos of back and we will help you sort the parameters correctly.  It would be good also update the UEFI firmware like this can matter.

    All this is covered and much more still to ensure a perfect clean reinstall Windows 7

  • Satellite L755 - 16L - new installation Win7 without recovery option

    Hello...

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L755 - 16L.
    I want to re - install windows 7, but recovery option will erase everything... I don t want to use it, I saw a key at the bottom of the laptop for win 7, saying it is oa mea?

    So is there a way that I could do without clear all.

    Hello

    Please visit http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    You will find all the HARD drive recovery facility information and accurate information which will be deleted exactly (see Note).

    Product key down means that you bought laptop with preinstalled OS and valid license. This key belongs to the version of the OS preinstalled. Don t think you can use it for the activation of the operating system if you try to install the version of the OS using the Microsoft installation disc.

    > So is there a way that I could do without clear all.
    I put t know what do you mean under everything.
    If you want to have own pre-installed OS still best option for you is to back up all important data on external device and after installing the OS, you can copy it to computer s portable HARD drive.

  • Satellite A500 - HARD drive recovery option is no longer available at the F8 Menu

    Hello, this my phone trees.
    I reset my Satellite A500 and due to a power failure reset did not finish. When I have inexplicable with F8 I can see HARD drive recovery option, and then must log on my account that I did not at all because of the power failure.
    Then I installed a copy of Vista retail, hoping to create an account and be able to retrieve from the HARD drive.
    PROBLEM! : Now I don't see the "Recovery disk" option at all.
    QUESTION: There must be a way to integrate this option in the windows Startmenu (F8). Can someone help me with this issue? I burn the DVD recovery and the recovery partition is still there.
    Thanks in advance.

    More big mistake made you ve, it's that you don't l l create recovery DVD such as recommended by Toshiba.

    Why you didn t ask how it works before you do anything?
    You've misunderstood with username and account.

    Now, when you use your own installation, you need to remove the option for installation of HARD drive recovery and the recovery image can be installed with recovery only DVDs.
    Now, you have two options:
    -to order the new recovery DVDs or
    d ' use the clean install of the OS.

    What do you think of this?
    To be honest, I think you need to use Windows 7 on this laptop.

    I recommend you to install Win7. Download page for all the necessary drivers, you can find and download from Toshiba

    If you have more questions or need help please let me know.

  • Re: Equium L40 - 14 l - System recovery option missing

    Hi all

    I have an Equium l40 14l that I finally decided needs to be restored "out of the box" status.

    I can boot to the system recovery options page, but the widely mentioned drive HARD recovery option has been replaced by the option system restore of full Windows OS.
    When I choose it is telling me that is preinstalled files are damaged you can use the recovery dvd - rom product. All I can do is click OK and return to the previous screen.

    I ran a few software partitioning and the hidden partition appears. I don't have a disc of recovery with the machine as she had the hidden restore partition.

    I don't have a backup when I first booted the machine. I think now that it was a good idea, but as I thought I had the hidden partition to rely on I don't bother.

    Ideas if there is a way I can get the system recovery to display HARD drive recovery option?

    Thank you Tom

    Cool. Glad to hear this. Now you can remove all the stuff, you don't need and optimize the preinstalled recovery image.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite L655 - recover Toshiba Recovery option

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L655 with Windows Home Premium 64-bit. I recently had problems with my operating system. Unfortunately, I didn't know about HARD drive recovery option, so I just reinstalled an OS with Windows 7 installation CD (I have a).

    Now I know about HARD drive recovery and I would get my system to it's State of origin "Toshiba", but there is nothing "Toshiba HDD recovery" more in the recovery menu (F8 at startup)

    I still have the folder HDDRecovery on my drive D:\ with od 7.5 GB data. But how can I get it back? What should I install to have the "Toshiba Recovery" point back again in the recovery environment?

    Thank you
    Ivan

    Hey Buddy,

    The Toshiba HDD Recovery feature is available on the preinstalled operating system. If you have installed another version he s not available anymore.

    So in your case, you have the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. Did you create the Toshiba Recovery disk before installing Windows 7?
    Usually this can be done with the box settings because the Toshiba recovery media creator is preinstalled. This means that you need some blank discs to create the recovery disk.

    If you don t have the recovery disc, you can order a new by clicking here:

  • Loop system recovery options

    This morning Satellite 100 my wife running Windows Vista itself got in a loop of the system, with absolutely no discernible way out recovery. I have so for you guys to see if anyone has had the same problem.

    First of all, the system stops (battery problem). It restarted, he and the Vista loading got a message box with the "System Recovery Options" section, just an OK button and the message "Cannot load this program click OK to restart" or something to that effect. Something off the machine.
    I tried F8 at startup upwards and all options in the recovery (including repair system tools) menu restart Vista and get the same message.
    I've searched the Toshiba support site and found nothing.

    I have a disc of recovery but that would reformat the hard drive and it has a lot of things not saved.
    I suspect it's to go into Recovery Mode and find a disk on the "hidden" partition error So, I just want to stop making so that I can start the machine and backup files. Any ideas?

    Hey Buddy,

    You can start Windows in safe mode?

    I think in the worst case it s necessary to reinstall Windows if it doesn t start more. I mean there is nothing you can do

    I m wondering that you didn't make a backup of the important files, you can save if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. Then you can connect to another computer and make a backup before reinstalling Windows.

  • Cannot retrieve Satellite L300 using HARD drive recovery option

    Hello

    I'm trying to restore to factory settings but have no luck.

    I tried pressing F8 when the toshiba logo comes back, it goes to the screen of boot in advance and I select computer repair and it boots to windows. I don't get the recovery options.
    I also tried pressing zero when switching on the laptop just rings home.

    What im I doing wrong?

    It is a vista running L300-149

    As I see all you do is right.
    Turn on your laptop and press F8 several times and you will enter the Advanced startup options

    The first option should be repair your computer and after two or three steps, you should see The System Recovery Options , and last option there Toshiba recovery.

    Have you used this recovery options in the past or you are trying to use it for the first time?

    So corrupt where can I get the recovery of the Asia-Pacific region online backup?

    I found the link on the forum to buy the recovery disk, but it is for euorope I want to find it in the Asia-Pacific region?

    Hello

    If you are not able to recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive, then you will need to retrieve the laptop using the recovery disk.
    It seems that you didn't create the disc in the just past? Well, it was not a good idea

    However, the Satellite C650 is European notebook series. Right?
    In this case, you will need the drive recovery for the series of Europeans, and this can be ordered here:
