  Hello

  Thanks for posting.

  Unfortnetly the user forums is managed by HP customer like you and me for the most part, so the chances of a person has been able to help in this case is quite thin. Your best bet is to phone HP numbers are here and tell them about this problem, if you are not with them. You can try and ask to speak with there customer service, these are the people who have the most power in call centers, so if you ask them nicley they may be able to help.

  Once more I do not work for Hp if it is something puerley I mean you could get somwhere.

  Good luck.. Keep us on how you can

  EDIT: You may also be able to contact higher than people such as managers of customer service by selecting the option of the company instead of support afer by selecting your country and language from the link above, once you have done this, you can select Executive Director email or the comments button General according to which country you are in.

  mid-2013

  So I thought to do a factory restore and reinstall windows, but because this machine has been shipped in mid-2013, it has been bundled with windows 8 and 8.1 not. I cannot recover my system with the options of windows using the boot disk, I received when purchasing.

  Or reinstall the system via the DVD starts works. Installation could not see my hard drives correctly or missing drivers.

  Now, I did a system restore (Yes surprisingly has started up normally this morning) but I am always a little scared and would have preferred a clean install.

  Decided to buy Alienrespawn Premium to try to restore my original recovery Image and reinstall the original windows 8 from scratch. But during the selection of these options, I get the message that the image is missing or incomplete. When I try to select another HARD drive he asks to insert a disk external HARD at least 100 GB on this subject. Is there an internal HDD option and select put this system up? I've got 2 750 GB SATA HARD drive and the other has been completely formatted for backup reasons...

  Could someone please help me and tell me what to do in this case?

  A clean install would be the best way to go, but I tried everything I found on google in communities and to but still do not get them to factory reset my PC...

  Thanks in advance

  My warranty has expired in order to request a backup CD is not going to work I'm afraid...

  I have a cd provided dell with the laptop, but as said my laptop has been delivered with WIN8 not earned 8.1

  I can't do a clean install, as described in the article, because it tells me to load the required drivers and there is a missing part so that my cd is in the laptop...

  I need to find a way to recover the original recovery on the HARD drive in order to reinstall the complete system with the factory settings...

  Please tell me how to do this.

  It looks like your BIOS may be on the RAID.

  The value of the BIOS:
   
  SATA Mode = AHCI Mode
   
  = UEFI boot mode

  DVD Win7, Win-8-DVD, or a USB flash drive should now start. Use the one-time-starting F12 menu.

• Replace all hard drives

  Hello

  I have two PS5000E without.  One is the production and the other is off site and contains only replicas.  I need to increase capacity on the SAN production so I will replace all 16 discs with 2 TB drives, and I also want to move the RAID level of 5 to 6.

  I only have not supported with Dell more so instead of borrow a San to a rep, I plan to use SAN offsite to help me with the process, and I'm ok with not having DR is not for the few days that it will take.  I have backups.

  I think my plan is healthy, but I would like to hear from an expert before I go ahead with it.  What I intend to do is:

  1. Save the config for the DR SAN
  2. Break replication
  3. Bring the DR SAN on site
  4. Attach a serial cable, turn on and run reset to restore the config factory
  5. Run Remote Setup Wizard to set up and attach it to the Group on the site
  6. Remove the Member on the site of the Group on the site
  7. Wait for data to be moved to the DR SAN
  8. Replace all hard drives in the on-site SAN
  9. Run Remote Setup Wizard to initialize and he join the band on the spot
  10. Remove the DR SAN of the Group on the site
  11. Wait for data to be moved to the square of SAN
  12. Run Remote Setup Wizard to initialize it
  13. Copy recorded in DR SAN configuration file and restore the original config
  14. Return of the DR SAN to its location off site
  15. Reenable replication

  I'm doing this right?  Is there an easier way?

  Looking forward to your answers.

  Curt

  Firstly, according to the firmware, if new readers are dell disks they will be rejected by the frimware.

  Two.  Assuming that the 2 TB drives are OK, there is a way more simple that does not require you to reconfigure your table of DR.

  Replication pause 1.).

  2.) stop of the table of DR.

  3.) table offf DR power, remove and package upward DR drives, but leave them on the DR site.

  4.) chassis Bring DR w/o readers to the main site.

  5.) cable chassis DR

  Stop 6) primary site servers.

  7.) stop of the main table.

  8.) remove readers of the main site of the chassis and install these drives in empty chassis of DR.

  9.) power return to the top and check it came OK online.

  10.) install new drives 2 TB in the main frame.

  11.) power up and add it to the main group.

  12.) add the 2 TB array in its own pool.

  13.) create the RAIDset RAID6 and let it complete the construction.   Make sure that all network ports are configured and upward.

  Fusion 14.) the pools and the data will start interlacing to the new Member.

  (15.) once you see data moves OK the new Member, select the 'old' member of the DR chassi and move this member to the temp pool.

  16.) once all data is migrated, reset the table of chassis DR.

  17.) remove the drive from the chassis DR.

  18.) frame to move to the site of DR.  Readers to back power and above.

  19.) re - enable replication

• New NB550D clean system and TOSHIBA recovery on the HARD drive.

  Hello

  I was wondering, if I install a new clean Win 7 on my NB550D I keep TOSHIBA recovery on the HARD drive and when I need to use it.

  If so, how can I do?

  > I was wondering, if I install a new clean Win 7 on my NB550D I keep TOSHIBA recovery on the HARD drive and when I need to use it.
  You can keep it, but after installation of clean operating system, you will not be able to start the installation of recovery more. Now, when you press F8, you repair my computer option. After the installation of clean operating system this option will disappear.

  What you need to do is to create DVDs of recovery or recovery USB key before you install own OS. Be careful about this.

  Document reading s user manuals. You will find exact description, how it works.

• HDD Recovery format all the drive HARD Equium P200-178

  Hello

  I need to reinstall Vista on my laptop.
  The question is: is the recovery of a partition option erases all partitions of data?
  Both with bones and the other with the data?

  I've been trying to find out on the forum.
  Some say the recovery cd to clean all partitions, but drive HARD recovery has the option to format only partition C

  Hello

  Well, as far as I know the HARD drive recovery procedure is the same procedure as the use of the Recovery DVD.
  In both cases the laptop will be set to factory settings which means that you will get the same data on the HARD drive as on the first day of purchase
  So it need to format the HARD drive and should restore again uses the image of Toshiba.

  But if you want to know if the second partition will be deleted and then created again and then store a small file on the second partition and then perform the procedure of HARD drive recovery.

  After installing the OS has finished go to the second partition and check if the same file that is always present on the second partition.

• Important data to removable disc to hard drive recovery

  I bought the new PC with W7 and never succeeded with easy transfer to get all the info from old W XP.  I supported a lot of data on removable disks (USB).  Some are just backing up things like income tax returns from previous years (No Yes, for customers, no less) and some is a backfile "backup" where I can't read the file.  How can I get the files from the hard drive on my hard drive?  I can not understand for some reason any and am pulling my hair out on all types of reading directions.  Can use a computer, I am somewhat limited knowledge in this area.  PLEASE?  Thank you.

  Hello

  What happens when you try to use Easy Transfer to transfer data from the old computer to the new?

  Make sure that Windows Easy Transfer can only transfer files and settings between two systems in the same language. Also Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from a 64-bit version of Windows to a 32-bit version of Windows.

  For more information visit: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/transferring-files-and-settings-frequently-asked-questions

  Also, please take a look at the article.
  Transfer files and settings from another computer
  

  As an alternative, you can also move these files on USB key or flash drive, and then copy them to the windows computer 7.

• Options of data recovery for crashed HARD drive

  My friend HARD drive gone bad. She has not saved. She has her thesis on it (any resemblance to characters from the fictional movie, living or dead, is coincidentalt. "It's true).

  I know there are options to recover the data. But I'm not familiar with all of them and how much they cost.

  One of her friends which is a network administrator, and continued his studies of masters in computer security will attempt to recover the data for it. I fear that it may just try to boot from a CD and try to read the data, which can worsen the damage.

  What other options does have?

  Thank you

  If it crashed, she may need data recovery specialists.

  These are some $$$.

  You can read this:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon.

• Is it possible to remove the recovery on the HARD drive partition?

  I had a virus on my laptop, so I gave a "specialist".

  When I got it back it turned out, it didn't work properly - another specialist said that the recovery disc has been eliminated - is it possible? or is it just hidden?

  And if I have no more HARD drive recovery, what do I know?
  Where can I buy ad recovery to recover my system?

  Please, help me, cause I'm an ignoramus total that computers are concerned...:)

  Powerless Kate:)

  Hi, pewna.studentka.

  Yes, it ' s possible to delete the recovery hard drive and very easy to do in partitioning, formatting and etc. Once I had an experience to remove it, but in my hp laptop. I recommend you do the following:

  1. contact the Toshiba service authorized in your country or order https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
  2. find (buy) a copy of Windows, install and drivers downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

• Starting from installation, recovery - on - external hard drive

  Computer: Gateway MD2614u laptop, AMD Turion X 2 64-bit processor, designed for Windows Vista

  External hard drive: WD My Book Essentials (surrounded by Western Digital 500 GB drive external hard)

  Background: laptop was dropped, crushed physically the internal hard drive, all other aspects of the laptop appear to be in working condition.

  Vista says: Windows Setup cannot install another USB or IEEE 1394 device.

  It is important to note that the external drive is a SATA.  ALSO that there is NO hard drive internal to the computer right now.

  I pulled the drive from its casing and place in my desktop computer.  I have installed Vista in this way, and placed the disc in its case, confident, would solve the problem.  "The found operating system"

  I wiped the drive and tried again, this time using my Windows 7 to format the drive make a primary partition active and used the WD SmartWare to disable the password on the external, as well as VCD (Virtual CD, which contains the software for backup on and retrieve the external hard drive) on the outside.  Then installed Vista back once again, the drive in the enclosure, and again, I got 'the operating system not found '.

  I tried to use the "gateway recovery disc" the computer asked me to do immediately after I ran it the first time.  They have installed the Vista gateway on the external hard drive without any problem, the recovery software has taught me that I had to press OK to restart the computer, but again once 'the operating system not found"happens.  I advanced and rebooted the computer out of habit and that the computer starts in what concerns the loading of "microsoft" bar (the green bar moving left to right while loading vista), and then it restarted itself.  This new responsible for the 'green bar' and restarted again.

  3 times I let him, then I placed the regular 64 bit Vista disc in the status bar and try a startup repair.  "Windows cannot resolve the problem, do you want to send the information to Microsoft" or something that nearby.

  I then tried using the disk for 32-bit Vista in the same way.

  32 bit Vista disc completed the repair, but now the 'green bar' vista loading screen comes up, runs for a few seconds, and then I get a quick flash of a blue screen, and until I can see what he says, the computer restarts.

  Help!

  Hello

  This seems to be a hardware problem, so you may have to contact the manufacturer, follow the link given below to communicate with the gateway.

• HP Recovery repartition the hard drive to factory default settings?

  Hi all

  I'm looking to repartition my hard drive to separate my data in program files.

  I was wondering if I ever run HP Recovery, will this repartition the hard drive back to the factory settings by default, which eliminates the data newly created partition?

  Your reactions/experiences would be appreciated.

  Thank you very much

  Chris

  Hi Chris,

  Whether you use the Partition recovery or your recovery discs, both will delete all custom partitions that you may have created.  A better option to allow you to recover the operating system and any custom partition you created would be to use a disk imaging software.

  Additionally, make sure that you have created your recovery disks, as Re-partitioning the HARD disk can sometimes affect the function of the recovery Partition.

  Kind regards
