Can't find Recovery Manager for Windows 8

I have a new HP Envy 7300 dv6t laptop.  I have it turned on twice.  First time I created only my computer name and the name of the user ID and the password.  Second time (a few minutes ago), I activated Windows 8 and goes immediately to create system recovery discs.  I typed in the search box "Recovery Manager", clicked on it and chose "Create recovery media."  He then gave me the message "You are allowed to create a set of recovery media" which I clicked "I agree."  Then he took me to the screen that says "Please insert one of the following media.  (I was following a you tube explanation of how do and so far everything was fine.)  However, when it came to the screen, it appeared (tube video of you), I had to click on my choice of media, I was going to use (flash drive, DVD or DVDDL.)  However, nothing would happen when I tried to click on "DVD".  Instead, below the choice to use, the "gear" kept spinning icon, acting like he was going to do something... but she kept spinning and spinning.  As it says at the top "Please insert one of the following media", I thought that maybe I needed to put in the DVD.  So I did.  Still nothing.  The engine continued to run.  So I thought that maybe the computer has been suspended.  So I took out the DVD and closed off Recovery Manager think I'll try again.  Now, however, when I type in the search box "Recovery Manager", nothing comes.  Just the message "no parameters corresponding to your research."  Certainly, I can still do these disks, right?  Certainly my time 'one' is not gone because I liquidated.  Please someone help me!  Thank you

In fact, I restarted the computer and it's back!  Yes!  Now I'm doing the disks.  It takes 6 discs and I'm on disc 6 now.  However, 3 times that day I received a message saying something to the effect of "try again... it didn't work."  So, I intend to call HP in a few minutes, because 2 of these 3 times it was on disk 6 and I have 2 discs left.  However, the INITIAL problem was that my driver optical (or whatever it's called) was not working so HP had me uninstall and reinstall the driver.  Apparently with Windows 8, there are just a bunch of problems that need to be developed. I think that they also said that they have problems with the system recovery discs.  So, if someone is reading this and experiencing problems, you can just give them a call and tell them it has to do with the system recovery.

    Hi Billy,

    Try a clean boot (Vista and W7) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem. Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once don't forget to reset your system back to the normal state, as described in the procedures.

    I'm sorry that you are unhappy.  Many of us have at least one computer for which there is no drivers Windows 10.

    @WAWood explanation essential, sad.

    HP has provided the documentation about upgrading / migrating to Windows 10.

    The documents include the following...

    From your computer Update & migration Section:

    Notebook HP Professional and Mobile PCs - installing Windows 10 workstation

    The HP Document on the subject says:

    Notebook HP Professional and Mobile PCs - installing Windows 10 workstation

    Comment

    Depending on your situation, i.e. the model and Setup on your specific computer, the system can work properly on Windows 10 using the drivers and software available through updates of Windows 10.

    Now that your computer was successfully migrated to Windows 10 - If you want - use the 'Back' of the migration feature to restore your computer to its previous version of Windows.

    Upgrade to Windows 10: FAQ

    See: can I go back to my old operating system?

    The 'Back' feature is sensitive to time (one month); You can decide to turn back now, and then reinstall Windows 10 (on this same system) at a later date.

    See: can I reinstall Windows on my PC 10 after the upgrade?

    Good luck.

  • Can not find the drivers for Windows XP on a Qosmio G30-155

    Hi all

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate installed (by default) in my laptop. As you know, Vista comes with a lot of errors and a huge amount of compatibility issues. But I am not able to find any BIOS drivers and devices on the laptop, so I can't install XP in another partition (my drivers are supplied with a "restore CD" which installs Windows Vista as well).

    No idea where to find these drivers?

    Thank you

    Qosmio G30-155 belongs to the series of PQG32E, all the XP drivers are already on the European driver Toshiba page.

    The path to the driver page is:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> support download &-> download drivers

    I really wonder why this page... don't know yoy?  :|

  • HP laserjet 6 p: can not find the driver for windows 10

    I installed 10 windows and now my printer is not working. It doesn't seem to be a new driver out there.

    Hello

    First of all, I would like to make it clear: I do not work for any hardware vendor or software. Your printer/scanner worked perfectly for a few years or even decades, and now it won't do nothing or very little about due to a new operating system.

    Microsoft, Apple will never say "WARNING: using this new product, your existing hardware may NOT work at all. They say that their new product blah blah will... They promise everything and then put all the misfortune, blame for hardware vendors.

    I believe that the development of new products is a lot cheaper than the technical support of the former products and each product must have a life cycle and must die loudly or quietly operating systems will kill our faster hardware. Many people simply upgrade to a love of the 'cutting edge', never know and/or research what will work the investments existing at home or not.

    Just my 2 cents.
