Compaq presario system recovery

I did a recovery of the system about 3 weeks ago and although I managed to install all the parameters of my return, I have problems with the updates of windows XP.

Before the resumption, I have SP3, but after recovery there was SP2, I tried to install SP3 which succeeded and that was many things got ugly tried to uninstall SP3 but as strange as it may seem my computer says no file found did not have any backup that I threw it myself, so I had to reset the settings of scratch internet connections find music files, install media player, explore 8...

If someone can help me here, I would be very grateful...

Thank you very much

Graham

Graham,

Here are the specifications of your desktop Compaq Presario SR1705UK. According to the specifications, it was delivered with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2 installed at the factory. The recovery media HP Recovery for this computer will also install XP Home SP2 when a recovery is preformed. SP2 is no longer supported by Microsoft and now supports the SP3.

After you install SP3, what kinds of things did you have trouble with? Please provide as much information as possible. You're OK with doing once again, HP recovery to try to eliminate all the problems?

To install SP3, the simplest method is to download the Package to install Windows XP Service Pack 3 network. You can ignore the message "this installation package is intended for it professionals and developers downloading and installing on multiple computers on a network...." "This download installs fine on a single computer. You can also download and burn the Windows XP Service Pack 3 - file to Image CD ISO-9660 instead. Yet once, ignore the message on the use of Windows update to a single computer.

  • Compaq Presario 2199US recovery help

    I have a Compaq Presario 2199US notebook that has been given to me.  The laptop came with factory restore disks.  There is a COA sticker on the bottom of the machine.  I have a Windows XP home SP3 and tired to do a clean install to use it.  When I try to use the COST he told me that I have an invalid number.

    Could it not because the certificate of authenticity is to maybe windows family xp without service pack?

    Any suggestion on how to be me and goes again.

    Hello:

    The only suggestion I have is that you can order a set of recovery disc for your laptop.

    HP has more, but you can still order a set from here.

    http://www.computersurgeons.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ID=4219

    If you do not install a XP OEM installation disc, that is why the product key does not work.

    In other words, if you si vous utilisez use a retail full or upgrade XP Home Edition installation CD, the OEM product key will not work.

  • recovery system for Compaq Presario V6310US disks

    Real novice here and, of course, I did not receovery disks when I bought my laptop.  Talked to HP colleagues tonight on the purchase of recovery disc for my Compaq Presario V6310US.  He told me that I don't have to buy records; that I could go to HP.com and download them here.  Told me it was easy.  I told him that he did not know me!  I had the location of the driver/software and see a lot of things listed (including the order form to purchase recovery discs) but don't know what to do (other than to order discs by mail for me).  Am I supposed to just to buy the discs or am that I supposed to burn discs for all the other things that listed there and not buy discs by mail?

    Your help, in the simplest of words, is much appreciated.

    Message edited by hp4578 on 03/01/2009 21:39

    You must phone/web-form to order them and have them sent you... There is no mechanism in place to download records (officially) from the HP website.

  • Compaq Presario SR1150NX: Error, disk Compaq recovery dead

    Hello, I have a desktop Compaq Presario SR1150NX of 2005. Everything works well in it and we emptied dust not for long. But then, one day I went to start it it says a critical system file was missing. I'm confused at first. After half an hour, creating a USB disk only to find it didn't work, I then had to use the Windows XP Recovery Console. Then after I fixed it it still didn't start because it couldint find the file. But when I start the computer, it shows me that, if I press F10, it boots into system recovery mode. OT started and told me that I could boot into windows xp system recovery. But in the middle of this, the computer overheats and shuts down. When I tried to turn it on again it gave me a disc error AND when I boot in recoervy, it's just bluescreens. Now when I turn on the computer, it does nothing.

    Is there any where where I could download a recoervy tool to open the hard drive in order to get the data on the drive and get a new drive? Or get a Windows recovery disc?

    Any help is the Apprecited!

    Remove the disk from the desktop.

    Buy

    USB 2.0 for HDD SATA/IDE adapter 2.5/3.5/5.25IN drives w / adapter

    See: http://www.ncix.com/detail/usb2-0-to-sata-ide-drive-adapter-a3-17762.htm

    and connect your hard disk with this adapter to a USB port on your computer.

    When you connect, Windows will ask your permission to run 'check disk' ('CHKDSK') to review and fix any problem of file system.

    I think that the corrupt currently-system files on the hard drive is causing startup problems you reported.

    Re-connect the desktop "repaired" disk drive, and then try again.

  • Compaq Presario sr1720 nx goes directly to the recovery & mouse & kyboard is unresponsive

    The compaq Presario sr1720nx is directly to the recovery even if I hit the F6 key or the escape key start-up of the pc to the top.  Once on the recovery screen, there are three choices that are not accessible because neither the keyboard nor the mouse respond.

    I may be the culprit of the problem.  I looked on the internet to perform a recovery without a disk.  The You tube video, said to use the F6 key at startup to access the recovery console.  This proved to be unsuccessful.  When the compaq starts, it says to hit the F8 key to start the recovery program.  None of them worked.

    So, being a non tech person, I went to programs > Accessories > microsoft tools > reset to an earlier date > and reset the start to the recovery console.  My goal was to access the recovery console to perform a destructive recovery.  This has been for us hopefully correct the Compaq, which had not been used for a long time.

    Before this action, there is no problem with the mouse or the keyboard.

    The end result was the computer starts up straight on the recovery console provides three choices.  It also provides choice to hit the return key to put an end to the valuation or escape to return to the normal operating system of windows XP.

    Initially, I tried to download the recovery disc for the Compaq back to ground zero.

    If all goes well, it still may be my option.  If anyone could be useful to a naive individual, it would be much appreciated.  As the saying goes, a little knowledge is a very dangerous thing.

    Distinguished regards, Mike

    I solved the problem

    I unplugged the computer, mouse and keyboard; WAITED several minutes and plugged the above items back in.  After you enable the Compaq, he went directly to the window of recovery.  Now, the keyboard has been active to select option 3 - the full recovery of the C: drive.  Of course, asked me to restart the computer to complete the process.

    The windows XP program has restarted after the computer has finished the recovery process.

    Starting with a blank slate, I was able to name the computer, the selection of the internet service provider, etc. in the usual way.

    I add this note anyone suffer a similar situation.

    I appreciate the response.

    Distinguished regards, Mike

  • Recovery of Phoenix for HP - Compaq Presario v6604AU crisis

    Hello

    Recently, I got my - computer v6604AU laptop compaq presario with phoenix BIOS and AMD Athlon dual core processor - brick with a bad flash update.

    I tried to use flash files extracted update bios slot location

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-93354-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&...

    1. I used them to create the phoenix recovery disk in a 1 gb USB Thumb Drive.

    The configuration of the bios for my laptop contains also 2 WPH files: 30CFF34A. WPH and 30CFF34B. WPH

    I used the first because it was newer.

    2. removed the battery and the power, you press Win + B (only this combination of keys the key USB LED lights)

    But the USB twinkling like when its being used to read. The CPU fan speed remains low. And all of the other lights out as stated in many forums.

    Then I let the key combination, I insisted on this.

    Leave the computer on for about 20 min, but the flash does not.

    Please me know anything useful if you fall on it.

    Thanks in advance.

    [Edit]

    Recently, tried the same thing with the floppy USB drive

    Like crazy laptop beeps and the floppy drive reads data. (This means that the recovery option is available for this BIOS)

    but nothing happens after reading the disk.

    Maybe I'm missing something.

    May be that the combination of files is not correct.

    Need help!

    It seems that you are making progress with the floppy drive. Use one of the USB ports on the left side of the laptop, they are soldered directly on the system board. Although this should not make a difference, it is best to assume this will be.

    If the BIOS file won't work not erase the floppy drive and then repeat with the other file.

    It can also be better to assume that there is something wrong with that BIOS update and use an older BIOS which is known to work. If you know your a recent, so it is best.

    If you still have your HP tools partition on the hard drive, try the procedure affects 'Windows' and 'B' with nothing plugged into the USB port. The HP Tools partition is supposed to contain the latest BIOS to work to bring relief to a corrupt update.

    Are you running W7, if this is the case and you tried to update the BIOS under W7, then which caused your original problem. This is because the BIOS files were designed to be executed in a Vista environment.

  • an operating system is not on my compaq presario cq56

    I tried to reset my computer & reset all my drivers. Now when I turn it on, it indicates an operating system is not found. Please, press ctrl, alt, delete to restart. When I did, the message continues to appear & the computer is a compaq presario cq56. Could someone tell me what can I do to fix this?

    Mrsbailey,

    I'm sorry for what happened, I don't think you did anything just a crazy accident.

    You'll need to order the factory created to disk for this computer. If you reside in the United States or to the Canada, you can contact HP technical support to the 1-800-474-6836 or if you reside in another country, you can click on this link and then click on your country and the number is provided.

    If you have access to another computer, you can order them online.

    1. click on this link

    2. click on drivers and software

    3. Insert the product number or model number

    4. choose your current operating system

    5 scroll down to "order recovery Media.

    Because you have Windows 8 disk must be there unless the computer is so new that they were not placed on the site yet.

    Please answer as soon as possible.

    Thank you

    I have a laptop Compaq Presario CQ50-139wm.  The hard drive has been damaged without repair possible and I put a new hard drive in it, but I have system restore disks.  They are no longer available for purchase.  Anyone know where I can get a set?  The original operating system is Windows Vista.

    Hello:

    I don't see that HP has them.

    It would link to the recovery media to order on the Vista 32 bit laptop driver page.

    But can call HP and ask first. Maybe you can order them by phone and they would cost less ordering them to surgeons in the computer.

    If HP does no more, you can still get this provider on the link below.

    I formatted my Compaq Presario V3136TU 2 days ago and has discovered just when I run the 2nd recovery CD, there is an error message that some files cannot be read. After completion, my laptop won't boot any more completely.
