Example: Pavilion 17: restore

My laptop HP Pavilion was under warranty, when she had a hard drive and the motherboard problem.  I sent it to the independent technical support mandated by the Office Max, who has installed a new hard drive and the motherboard.  It installs Windows 8.1 on the computer.  But it did not install a backup disc with Windows 8.1 for a full system restore.   I want to format the hard drive, create and install Windows 8.1.  on a portion of the hard drive for easier troubleshooting.  I have the disk but need the step by step procedure to do this.  Is anyone able to help me with this?  Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Hello;

Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

Sorry, but the HP recovery media will not allow you to do what you want to do - install only a part of the training.  The first step is to erase the WHOLE disk and then reformat the drive using the schema of original score by HP.

If you want to make a backup image, a better approach is to use a third-party tool known as Macrium Reflect - which I have used for years.

Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together: http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx

What I recommend is the following:
(1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
(2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
(3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

My experience is that SIR, when you use the option of Compression high, typically allows to compress the image file recorded at about 50% of the space USED in the OS partition.  This means that if you have a 40GB and 80GB OS partition is used, MR must only about 20 GB to store the image file.

I use all the time and it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make the backup of the image and at the same time or less do a restore.

In addition, MR has the ability to add a recovery Boot Menu entry.  This then allows you to boot into Windows re, and then you can use it to do a restore - when you cannot start Windows!

You COULD make the process of narrowing of the partitions on your disk by using the MS disk management utility, creating a new partition and the execution of Mr. to store the backup of the image on this partition.  The problem with this approach is that if the hard drive is damaged or fails, you have lost your backup only.  Store the backup on an external device is a much better and more reliable approach.

Good luck

    HJ,

    I have problems with my laptop.

    I have a hp screen only.  I did a check of the system and all the catergories past except hard drive dst short.

    Can someone explain what to do next?

    Whenever the hard drive test short DST fails indicating that the hard drive has failed and which needs to be replaced to solve the problem

    This problem could be due to an Application or a driver conflict, virus issues, corruptions of files due to incompatible applications, incorrect judgments, update failures due to conflicts, mounted sudden power so portable, sudden falls etc...

    HP will offer a replacement HDD if the laptop warranty is Active, otherwise you can buy a SATA hard drive in a nearby retail store

    Please make sure that you get at least equal as long as the original one in order to use recovery disks. If you need you can buy a bigger, but not smaller hard drive capacity. For example, if you have a 500 GB hard drive you can improve it to 750 GB hard drive, but not 320 GB hard drive

    Please try the troubleshooting below indicated once the steps:

    Step 01. Remove the battery and unplug the power adapter AC.

    Step 02. Press and hold the power button for more than 30 seconds

    Step 03. Plug the AC power adapter / (leave the battery for now)

    Step 04. Press the power button and check if the unit is operating normally

    If the steps listed above is not enough, then you can try reinstalling the hard disk on your laptop

    If the problem persists again please Contact HP if your HP laptop is under warranty, HP could replace the hard drive and provide recovery media to restore the operating system to factory after the replacement (if you have not yet created recovery disks/USB support)

    Note: Back up all personal data on an external drive if possible. Otherwise, you can connect the faulty HDD through SATA USB adapter with another PC or a PC even after replacing the drive HARD and reinstall the operating system and try to copy / retrieve files.

  • Example: Pavilion dv7-4142eo: Bios can not find my new SSD

    I used http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/systemscanner and chose the SSD which should be usable in my laptop

    MX100 crucial SSD 512 GB 2.5 "7mm.

    I have used Acronis and saved my old system to a 3.5 500 GB that I put in an Icybox with esata.

    (Another method may be to use usb2 and clone the HDD of old to the SSD but with acronis and usb2, it would take 5 to 6 hours and so I have not tried this.)

    The Acronis cd boot I found the SSD and Esata and restored the backup of the old harddrive (from esata) for the SSD.  It seemed to work fine, but when I tried to start without the boot cd, I got the message "insert a boot disk".

    The I looked in the bios and could not find any hard disk (SSD).  Now, I'm out of ideas and hope for help here.

    How can I upgrade the bios version?  As I already only the SSD into the laptop, should I put in the old hard drive before I can upgrade the bios or is it possible of this from a USB hard drive and running windows?

    @Momoko

    You are welcome

    You can remove the need for a power on password as follows.

    Shut down the laptop - if you're running Windows 8/8.1, do it by holding down the button SHIFT left click Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot.

    Now on TAP the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to access the start menu, then select f10 to open the Bios menu.  Use the arrows to select the Security tab and press ENTER.  Use the arrow keys again to highlight the power on password and press ENTER.  Enter the current password (use the current code you have) and then the new password, simply leave this blank and press on enter - do the same for the confirmation field.  Press f10, select this option to save the new settings and press to enter.
