Change of material and restore disk problem

Hello

I have a HP 3015MT desktop computer next to me that I recently had to replace the motherboard (part no HP) and the hard drive because of the failure. For this reason, I can't use all of the restore disks supplied with the PC. When I try, I get an error indicating that the restore disks are intended only for HP machines. I don't have a spare OS license (do not have a volume contract). -What can I do to get this working or I'll just have to buy a new license? Preferably, I don't want to go this route that we still mainly use XP and I don't want to roll a Win7 machine for 1 user.

Someone at - it ideas?

Thank you

Paul

If you replaced the motherboard of your computer desktop with a card mother no HP then it is no longer a HP PC. Recovery software examines the BIOS for a tattoo of HP. A card mother HP no won't tattoo of eligible product.

The operating system license is only valid for the HP product, with which it was delivered.

Sorry to give you bad news.

  • Material of restoration to the original state of the manufacturer will make legitimate recovery discs work?

    Hello.

    Back story:
    I tried to create a system to dual-boot with Windows XP and Windows Me on a PC from Hewlett Packard, model a350n, to facilitate access to the old and more recent examples of software in my computer.  Operating systems that are installed properly, however, when running Windows Me, I noticed that the system has detected a large number of hardware problems and a number of missing drivers. I have no problems the first time I installed Windows Me, and I realized that this must have been the existence of partition recovery console Hewlett Packard, who was at the current time, where the Windows Me operating system can locate the necessary drivers for the PC to operate.  Since the deletion of this partition (which I foolishly declared unnecessary from there), problems of hardware in the BIOS, PCI slots, sound cards, etc. exist in abundance.

    Issue to be addressed:
    The main concern is this: I have no legitimate recovery CDs that I received directly at HP, but when I use them, even if they have worked in the past, I thought that the discs do not support my HP model.  I've made several changes to the hardware (for example, replace the graphics card, some CD-Rom drives, additional memory, along with other things).  Cancellation and so restore the material to the original state of the computer will CDs recognizes the HP model once more?

    Thank you very much!

    UPDATE: I tried to return the PC to its original state by removing the extra material and restore that which has been deleted.  We had another similar model of HP with similar CD - RW, CD - R and DVD - ROM drives, so I'm only 95% some that I replaced those that actually are came with this PC.  It would make a difference?  The result is that the recovery disks, which are legitimately HP, not home-made copies, and which were used successfully in the past in this same model, has not recognized the model of PC than they were designed for, even if they are a match.  This may be the cause?  And what can I do about it?  My backup files can be done quickly and efficiently, if I don't mind having to do something eventually destructive, as long as I get those recovery CD to do their job.  It is essential that I restore the PC to its factory condition.

    Thank you!

    Hello Taran_Wanderer,

    Unfortunately there is little that can be done on the side Microsoft.  It's HP to provide you with the disks appropriate for your machine model.

    You can look in an update of the BIOS from HP, but honestly, I don't know if this will have an effect on the question of whether or not the HP recovery disks will work.

    Best regards

  • Why can I not see the files I back up by using the backup and restore of Vista

    Can someone help me?  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and implemented backup and restore feature Vista so that every Sunday he automatically backs up my computer to my external drive.  I was on the computer when he said it starts up and that upward was completed successfully.  I assummed everything was fine until today when I show my father my drive external and noticed that none of the backup of files were there... or at least I did not see them.  The only files on the disk were the ones I put manually on here from my old computer.  I then ran a manual upward using Vista and again it says backup successfully completed.  I then watched the external hard drive and once again no new files.  The strange thing is the back up and restore program shows all the dates he has saved and also allows me to restore files from the back to the top.  To do this, I deleted a file I didn't really need out of my hard drive and then is gone to restore program and found the file and restored.  Problem is that the program does not say where he makes the file from.  What is going on?  Are backup files of certain types of hidden file I don't see unless I use the backup and restore program under vista?  I am currently running Vista Home Premium on a 32 bit system and the external hard drive I have is a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition.

    Windows backup is stored in a folder with the same name as your computer.  Open a command prompt and type echo %ComputerName% or startup, right-click on computer, properties.  You should see that % ComputerName % folder on your external drive, and in this context, a backup set.

    Hi AL0001,

    Run the chkdsk command to check that there are no problems with your hard drive. To run the disk check, follow these steps:

    1. Restart your computer and immediately press the F8 key until you reach the menu Advanced Boot Options.
    2. Select Mode safe mode with command prompt.
    3. At the command prompt, type chkdsk/r (there is a space between the k and /)

    Meanwhile, check the Dell website to see how you can get a recovery disk in case you need to recover Windows.

  • Backup and restore will not format disk

    I try to use Backup and Restore. When I click on the back of the files, I get a pop-up box that asks me to format the drive. After clicking on the Format, the following pop up box says unsuccessful Format. Sometimes, he also disk write-protected. I use Vista Home Premium and using an optical DVD +/-RW drive. I was unable to find anything on it. Has anyone else had this problem? What I can do. I check all the settings I can. Thanks for any help.

    Would you consider investing in an external USB drive and use it as your backup media.  This will work part-time full support until CD as the only hold about 700 MB of data and your hard drive is perhaps in a fit of 250 GB, what amounts to a large number of CD on current prices an external drive will pay for itself within a very short time and you are mucking around with several CD

    He needs that a defective CD or an unexpected shutdown to occur and you may lose all your backup met before this type of failure.  If you must use the CD then just use them to backup your important data.  If you need to perform a full restore, it may be faster in the long term to perform a recovery operation by using your installation media rather than feeding in a multitude of CD.

    One thing that I met, if you buy the CD on the main roads, is that, if they are not stored properly, at home or in a store, the last few CD inside tend to stick to the neighbor CD, which is not a good thing.

    My personal choice is to use a third-party imaging software to back up the entire partition or drive.  I save on a different hard drive installed.  You can use the external hard drive, I tried to sell you.  The entire backup (40 GB) takes about 10 minutes, with a restoration taking around the same time.  I double save my data more valuable, as well, of other external media, like USB, DVD, etc.

    I bought a sony vgnfz240e made a restore disk that day until something was done with my laptop.  A little later, they had me try to restore and it did not work said there was something wrong with my hardware. I'm finally back and at that time there there is no notes on the book of sony that I needed to make new disks but I asked the technicians of the company if I were to make a new.  Says no, and now that I went to reset my computer to factory settings it is errors on the disk and is not a corrupt disk either.  I show no operating system, but they say that there is a way.  I need help.  I have vista home Premium can someone help me please.

    http://eSupport.Sony.com/

    Here are the General information relating to the recovery.

    Contact Sony for the exact details.

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • How to replace a laptop HARD drive and restore the backup without a Vista startup disk?

    Hello
     
    I need to replace the drive HARD internal of my laptop and have a picture of it, created using the backup feature in Vista, on an external USB HDD. However, I've upgraded to Vista XP via a download online and don't have a Vista disc.

    How can I create a Vista startup disk that will give access to the backup/restore function, which allowed me to restore my backup to the new HARD disk image once I did the replacement? And is there anything else I forget?

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC.

  • Change password of Windows backup and restore

    I have recently changed my password administrator and need my Windows backup so that this new change. When I go through the button "check your network credentials ' Options, and select the"re - enter your user name and password"need me through the page"Configuration Backup. Without asking me to effectively re-enter credentials.

    So, despite this ridiculous process. How can I re - enter the correct credentials that windows backup needs.

    Kind regards.

    Hi Martin,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Since you are already connected to the PC via the administrator password, backup and restore will require not just any password because it is a feature of Windows. It is possible that you need to enter the password if you are working on network PC using Backup and Restore.
