Creating recovery discs - HP Pavilion 17 - I am a novice at this and really need support

I downloaded information and directions to do this procedure on the HP site.  I have a few questions to clarify some of my concerns.

1 using the dvd - recordable dvd is the same as you would use to burn videos or other?

2. I learned later that this procedure should be done just after I bought the computer.  The only information I have on my PC are my emails.  I have not bought any software. Just got the things installed at the factory.  My question about this is in the article that says it will save all the software, but you can save the software to a system image using windows 8 to create a system image. I have instructions to do but ned opions on the question of whether I should just do to only my e-mail of files) or do it for the drivers, windows, programs, system settings files:.  It also shows the following which is very confusing to me that the HP recovery restores the image of the software in its original state.  Any software that is installed later is deleted when you perform a recovery of HP.  Does that mean if I do the first HP recoveering I lose my emails as well as bar favorites that I created to facilitate the connection to important websites without having to type in the address.  It was created for me and is installed with the screen of my provider verizon internet.

3. I have an ALERT noting this update of windows 8 crashes 12% 13% 14% or 15%.  This alert has appeared on the results of product warranty HP detection/HP site and also another site that I don't remember.  What does that mean?  I don't know if I'm supposed to do something.

I really need your help and your advice on how I should proceed on the above problems.

Lynn

I have instructions to do this, but need advice on if I should make every effort to only my (e-mail) files or do it for cover discs, windows, Control Panel, programs and files?  He

Thank you very much for your quick response.  I have a few questions/comments to check that I understand your answers.

1 DVD - I understand that I must use the best discs that will work in my DVD, such as Verbatim, Sony, etc.

In addition to this is there any other preferences for the current DVD and for use on a 64-bit process that I have on my laptop, speed, other important characteristics? No, just get the DVD + R discs or good quality r. Sony usually works well for me.

2. I unerstand that the actual creation of the recovery disc will affect in any way my software added and created documents such as e-mails and the bookmarks bar, etc., that it concerns only the factory installed components... Fix. Using disks to restore/reinstall on the laptop says back to out of box state. With this procedure, many people use a regular backup of the files to get back on the machine after a factory Recovery.An external USB hard drive is very nice for this, but backups can also be done on DVD.

3. create a system image - am I right in assuming that this process does not duplicate topics in the created recover disks?  Also, when you add details such as software, the documents, etc. to your computer requires another creation of system images. She does double duty with elements of recovery such as Windows, drivers & software - but also an exact copy of the hard drive with your added files, newly installed programs, photos, etc. All of your personal files + recovery disc files are in an Image. In front of the effect of the restore with recovery disks - this process restores laptop with original Windows, software & drivers so that your files added. And Yes - additional Images would be required to maintain an up-to-date image.

4 USB Flash drive - I have no idea what it is but I have instructions for the use of this procedure for creating recovery image on using flash player and it's faster than a DVD.  Is the ddrive USB flash something that I have to buy, it's expensive and my PC has the ability to use this process? Your laptop has Betacam do recovery on USB - but in reality this process gives owners more trouble than DVDs. Several times resulting in the purchase of several flash drives before finding one that works. My advice-stck with DVD.

Thanks for your help.

  • How can I continue creating recovery discs?

    Hello! I just bought a HP Pavilion dv6-3011so, and told me to create recovery discs as soon as I had installed the computer. I read in the manual that I stopped the creation and that the next time I opened the Recovery Manager he asked me to continue and to insert the following DVD and so on.

    As it was getting late, I decided to stop creating and continue the next day (today), and I opened up to Recovery Manager. He didn't ask me to keep anything. I Googled it and couldn't find any information, not even on the HP website. I don't know if I should choose "Creating recovery discs" once again, but I think it will only begin to calculate how much Swedish I will need? Or it will not start calculating where I was when I interrupted the creation yesterday (I had just finished disc 2 of 6)? I don't want to do anything until I know for sure I do the right thing, because I feel that this can never be done again.

    Please help me!

    Hello

    If you restart recovery disc creation, it should carry from where you left off.

    Hello

    just bought a satellite A505-S6005 and try to create recovery discs.

  • Cannot create recovery discs

    Just got my new HP Envy 700-215xt.  The first thing I did was to create the recovery disks. Disc 1 was not a problem. Disc 2 was defective, but worked on the new attempt.  Drive 3 failed 4 times.  He hangs at 0% to check then said to use a high quality white.  I use Taiyo Yuden, and I probably had a failure in my last 2000 burns. Any thoughts? Discs can be purchased and if so how?

    In fact one of the Post-it notes on the recovery said to try to disable user accounts.  Did this and it worked, go.

    Thank you for your time and the suggestion.

  • Creating recovery disc for the VGN-NW220F laptop

    I followed the instructions and got the on-screen Vaio Care, but under "Recovery and restoration", there is no option to create recovery discs.

  • Possibility of creating recovery discs isn't available.

    I want to create recovery disks for my HP Pavillion 2260 - EA, Windows 7 64 bit, but the option is no longer available in my HP support Assistant. I selected the option once, but had to cancel because he wants more DVD discs I've owned. I then bought several discs. Now the option is no longer available for me to choose.

    In my view, we can only create recovery discs once. The PC noted, therefore, that I used this option, when in fact I've never really done. Can I do now?

    -Mike

    Hi, it is possible Action Center of this HPSA saw this task as completed and this is why it is not.  I recommend that you try to access the Recovery Manager through the start menu. If you select all programs from the start, you should see a list for safety and Protection, click on that and then click on Recovery Manager and finally, you should see a list for the creation of recovery media. Clicking on that brings you to the creation screen.

    If for some reason that there is no option, the only solution I know of "reset" of the option of creating media is to perform a recovery of HP sent a recovery media. Performing a restore partition recovery will not work.

    Hope this information helps. If you need help, please ask.

  • Win 7 64 bit... HP Pavilion dv-7... Creating recovery discs... Years later... Problem of recovery?

    Discovered that I never did the recovery disks when I bought the HP Pavilion dv7-4073nr Notebook running Win 7 64 bit.

    Now, because Windows Updater does not work, some programs do not work.  (Have no idea, when he started).

    QUESTION... -What makes the recovery discs now, cause recovery issues when I do an "upgrade on the spot", as recommended by a cat of Microsoft tech?

    There is no virus, the tech ran remote diagnostics and confirmed what I already knew... Windows Updater is corrupted and are not accessible.  Bought a 3 TB external drive and have spent - hours and hours - backup with Win 7 Backup & Recovery tool and the Seagate dashboard. (Redundant).  I can NOT apparently make an Image of the 'system' (failed to backup MS 5 times... So I created a backup successful without it.  Then tried to just an image of the system and says there are files corrupt on C drive.  Has managed to create a system repair disc.  Since then, I try to understand what I'm going along, Kind ' needs to know about the recovery discs, I do now works, or if I'm just recreate the same problems?

    Thank you

  • Creating recovery discs - "unable to open the following file" error "

    Hello all,.

    I'm trying to create a set of recovery disc for a customer * Satellite L300 - PSLB8A-07U004 *.

    While the application opens and begins the creation of the disk set, there, three times now, failed to with the error message of * 'cannot open the following file. D:\ ! "V5_01_07.VRP (error Code: 020123-F1-00000000). *

    I tried the first time in this process while all customer data were always loaded.
    I have now done a "restoration"out of box experience"because I thought that one of these files may be the cause, but, alas, the mistake was repeated."
    Of course, it's irritating (to say the least).

    Any thoughts?

    Stand by. If I understand you well you CAN restore the operating system using F8, but you CAN create DVDs using "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' of recovery.

    Am I right about that?

  • Created recovery disc is ok, but does not start Satellite A300

    Hello
    as the title suggests, the disks fail to start, details below formatted for reading easier (I hope :))

    -All-new series Toshiba A300
    -J' have created a disk of restoration with the toshiba utility, there was no error, the files are there but the drive seems to be unbootable.
    -This happens with both attempts, I made, using Verbatim r and Sony + R media.
    -The recovery disks will NOT start on my desktop system either.
    -L' laptop starts fine with a couple of distributions Linux on CD - R.
    -J' use F12 to tell the laptop to boot from the DVD.
    -J' have much experience dealing with the LiveCD, bootable disc burning, etc., so I'm inclined to think there is a problem with the toshiba utility.

    Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    There is certainly nothing wrong with the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
    I burned the recovery disc too. Once it failed because I did not use fully compatible DVD. Then I tested it with TDK - R and everything went well.
    No errors, nothing. Finally, I booted from the DVD and could reinstall the OS too.

    I presume that you should check the other DVD.

    Good bye

  • Re: Satellite A300 - error creating recovery disc

    I'm not really providing any solution, but is facing a similar problem with my laptop Satellite A300-1EI, bought in Dubai, UNITED Arab Emirates. I tried to make records of recovery through Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. However, each time, I got an error message. I tried with Verbatim, Philips DVD-R and lost several DVDs. Meanwhile on the net surfing, I discovered that the engraver of DVD from Toshiba is a little sensitive and try to use Verbatim DVD - R brand. I tried with Verbatim 2 days and at the last moment when I was about to dance with joy that the first DVD is created, received an error like below

    * "The following issue occurred during the recording of the data of the disc.*
    Current process will be stopped.*

    * A power calibration area error occurred.*
    * Please check if the disc is scratched or dirty.*
    * If Yes, please try again with a new disc.*

    "* (Error code: 0E01B5-26-00037304)."

    I don't really understand the message. Can advise you on how to create the recovery disks.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    To me, it seems that the used DVD discs are not completely supported by ODD.
    It seems to be a compatibility issue.

    I had this problem in the past, but I could resolve it using another DVD from another manufacturer.
    I had a good experience with TDK DVD-R.
    Using the R disk I was able to burn the disc, but using the + R I received an error message.

    See you soon
