DV6 - 6167cl: need to win 7 recovery disc for a new hard drive

I do not know what operating system Windows 7, my laptop had, but I need to put Windows 7 on my laptop HP dv6 - 6167cl recovery disks.

My original question was that my laptop could not restore or anything on its own.  After calling HP support and carry out a guided diagnostic test, it was determined that my hard drive was bad.  I bought a new hard drive and replaced it, but need to get Windows 7 return on that.

Thank you!

Hello

Unfortunately, there is no option to download the recovery media - discs, or a usb flash drive must be ordered from HP by following the link in my previous post.

For the version, the possibility of order recovery media is only listed under Windows 7 64 bit and that's what I would have expected your laptop to ship with - it is your machine comes with 6 GB of Ram and would require a 64-bit OS to be able to access what anyone more than 4 GB

Another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the entire key 25 character product activation on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

An example of a COA label can be seen here.

You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

You may need, additional drivers and software are here.

    Hey there!

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I understand that you can not restore your PC by using the restore disks.

    It seems that you did not follow the process of creating media recovery or data backup process.

    If you are unable to restore the image by using the discs.

    Please use this link to find out how to create a recovery media: http://hp.care/2byIEKi

    However, you can contact HP and get a set of system recovery disks.

  • HP mini 110 cannot use recovery discs - BIOS insists the hard drive test failed. Drive works on another computer.

    My niece has a HP mini 110 that does not have a day. Do a check of the hard drive in the bios, it failed (7 on playback). I though I should get a new one so I ordered another. While waiting for that to happen, I had access to a usb SATA bridge and the opperating system was beyond repair and the unreadable disk from HP mini, I decided to try to repair the disk. So I reformatted the old disk using my desktop computer. Windows had no problem with the drive and it seems to work very well.

    I also had to order the recovery disks (intro to windows 7).

    In any case try to reinstall using the recovery via the DVD USB drive disks. It kept coming back with error 17 - I found a hard drive error. I also tried to install with a Windows XP installation disc and it was more explicit hard drive it said it had NOT installed it - or "it does not match the sheet material for unity" (or words to that effect)

    To get the new hard drive - the same problem. Even if both of these drives operate as USB connected to my main desktop drives. SO my conclusion is that the BIOS start inspect the hard drive, check the configuration of the formatting. that is the size and the partitions etc. and when they do not correspond to the idea of BIOS of good care he rejects the hard drive and finds it is not installed.  Or maybe to do some files on the hard drive of base. Whatever it is, the bios concludes that there is no hard drive and will always return a "failed" to the hard drive of the bios test.

    Any ideas on that? I need to know exactly which partitions are expected by the bios. Does anyone have these specs, or maybe you have a mini HP and can examine your hard disk and tell me the amounts of partition and the size?

    Unless I can get the bios to recognize the hard drive, I don't see how I can reinstall the operating system on it. Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    HI David

    Well, I hope this is my last post here. I had already printed a return address for the recovery disks, being returned to the Netherlands. Just for the beggar of cast iron, however, I decided to try just once more would like to think that now that there is a kind of operating system on the hard drive it might work. But unfortunately still; no joy.

    All this time I would be considered may not be something wrong with the external hard drive because it was no problem to start the installation of XP. So I was just wondering maybe it does not receive enough power (it is a slimline portable DVD player that gets its power from a second usb) so I made a DVD player external adhock using an IDE hard drive enclosure (which has its own power supply and an old internal DVD burner I had put aside.

    To my surprise and joy; the HP mini started the recovery process. I am now watching reformat the windows partition and copy the files needed to restore the hard disk.

    So anyone with a similar problem to the HP mini not recognize the recovery disks is my advice; try an another external DVD drive, preferably one with its own supply of.

    Thanks for all your help and patience David.

  • Install Windows XP disc required for the new hard drive

    I bought an Inspiron 510 m new Dell laptop some time ago and am trying to install a new hard drive. However, even though I have the license key of Windows XP on the sticker on the laptop, I don't have a Windows XP installation CD - Dell would be please to send me an and let me know who I need to contact my details?

    Thank you very much

    Good news - I just called Dell who have been extremely helpful technical support. They had no problem talking to me and agreed to send me a replacement at a reasonable cost drive, and it seems they still distribute XP discs. Just thought I would post only in case it helps others in the same boat.

  • Satellite P750 PSAY1A: how to create the recovery Toshiba on the new HARD drive partition

    Hello

    I have an old Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022). I just upgraded my memory from 4 GB to 8 GB and am preparing to take my 500 GB HARD drive 1 TB. I had to order the disk online and wait to happen.

    I always try to understand how to create the arrival of my new HARD drive Toshiba Recovery Partition. I do the same thing for an old book, I handled based on something similar to it's original factory State.

    I have reflected on the recovery partition, but does not know how it was created. It is not NTFS. Does anyone have experience in the creation of a Toshiba Recovery on a new HARD drive Partition?

    And the help is very appreciated.

    Thanks and regards,
    Dinesh

    Recovery partition can be created when you use the original Toshiba Recovery disk and install recovery image. Before the partitions to boot OS install will be automatically created, recovery image copied on a recovery and then partition as last step recovery image installation starts.

    A sort of migration of files from one to the other HARD disk is not solution.

    Only for laptop with factory will work and the usable recovery partition.

  • Windows 7 disc to a newer hard drive cloning lose my activation?

    Hello

    I recently bought a new hard drive to upgrade my drive hard aging / slow / small running windows 7.

    I am considering the current installation using clonezilla newest hard disk cloning.

    After reading the FaQ of Activation of windows 7, it states that I'll lose activation with a change in hardware (motherboard) or if I change the hard disk and memory at the same time. I could be wrong, but I guess that if I just upgrade the HDD, I will be not necessary to reactivate windows 7. No other hardware changes apply except the hard drive.

    The question is, if I clone my partition to install windows on the most recent hard drive with clonezilla, I lose my activation? Are there other methods recommended to do?

    Thank you

    I doubt that you will find it, I don't think that it's been published, and if that were the case, she would probably quickly be taken. I don't think they want to know exactly what triggers it or how much time between activations rings the bells!

    There are many threads here with this info, and it's easy to find elsewhere. So, on pain of having that message changed:

    Every piece of hardware is a point number - if you change too many and exceed a certain amount of points, you will need to reactivate Windows. Don't know the exact number until he'll force the reactivation, but usually replace only part (other then the motherboard) doesn't require reactivation.  Information of product key, in the form of the product ID, is sent with a hash value 'material' (a non-unique number generated hardware configuration of the PC) to the Microsoft activation system during activation.

    Windows product activation checks eight different categories of equipment:

    * Processor & serial number
    * IDE adapter
    * VSN and hard drive
    * Amount of RAM range
    * Graphics card
    * Optical drive
    * SCSI adapter
    * Network adapter

    This is related to the issue:

    Product activation prevents users to change or upgrade their hardware.
    Not true at all. Users can change or upgrade their hardware. One of the forms of piracy which warns against product Activation is hard disk imaging. Not all forms of hard disk imaging are illegal. Where a pirate copy data from one PC hard drive to another to illegally run the software on two computers, Product Activation, which stops by forcing the copied software is reactivated. It does so by comparing the hardware on which it has been enabled for the hardware on which it is now initializing. If the material is significantly different, then reactivation is required. If it's the same, or similar, then the software will continue to work. Those who their PC hardware upgrade substantially may be asked to reactivate. For this reason is easy and can be completed by contacting Microsoft to obtain another confirmation ID.

  • Need recovery disc for a new disc of AF. Where can I buy these?

    My original for HP hard drive model p6267c died and I had to buy a new one.  However, the recovery disks that I made when I bought the computer do not work.  I found a page on the HP Support pages that show this is a known issue with the Advanced Format of AF drives which is what is my new drive and my original recovery disks will not work which they do not.  Recovery does not have the operating system in scores on the right for it to start Windows.

    The page that displays it is: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03509131

    However, it says to contact HP Support.  My computer is no longer under warranty and he said I have to pay to call, send, or cat who is ridiculous.  If not, how can I get this new set of discs without being on the telephone or in a chat for a long silver cost period just know where to order these discs.

    I need drives for Windows 7.  I tried to purchase the full version of Windows 7, but can't find it otherwise, I would have been this route.  I tried to use Norton Ghost to copy my information from the old drive to the new without success.  I also tried restoring a backup and discovery of Windows is damaged.  It's my only option other than to get a new computer.

    I'm afraid that if I just ordered the new drives online, I couldn't correct records.  I have need of those shown on the link above and not those similar to what I created myself.  I appreciate a link to a page where I can order the new for readers of the AF.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I don't see any way to get these 'up-to-date' recovery discs of HP, other than calling them.  However, there is a free and legitimate way to create your own Windows 7 installation disc as shown below.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  • Cost of recovery disc (all?)? Hard drive just died out of warranty

    DV7-3065DX, 16 months old and HD died a few days earlier, totally dead. I ordered a replacement, but now that I am out of warranty and of course I have no operating system (as it was on the disc now dead), can I order the disks with a discount at HP? Their office is closed now. Can I get Windows 7 family of Amazon for about a hundred bucks, but as I have a valid key on the back of this laptop hate the idea of paying for an OS I used legitimately. Thank you!

    You can order a recovery disc of HP for around $ 16. The game will reinstall Windows and all original drivers & software on the laptop.
