G7-2240us Pavilion: after Windows recovery will not turn on.

I had to do a restore on my laptop. After that that he was done and gone through the Setup program. He asked me to go to activation. When I did he told me that the activation code is not good and tells me to enter another code. I don't see the normal Windows sticker that has the number on it. I was reading through some other people had problems and remember one indicating that the activation code was written in the BIOS. Is there a way to do it and if it is there, why would it be bad code? Any help getting my active laptop would be greatly appreciated.

@Tn1redneck: the restore should have automatically read product code that is embedded in the UEFI firmware on the motherboard.  Don't know why he did that.

To find your product code, read the linked thread: find the product - key for Windows 8

Good luck

  • HP Pavilion running Windows 8 will not install several programs

    Hello

    I got my new HP Pavilion for about 2 weeks now and I was not able to get to install several programs. I can't install Adobe Acrobat or Reader, or my software (Kodak Easyshare) digital camera. At first I thought that this could be a problem with my firewall, bu the Kodak came a disc, not the internet. When I tried to install Adobe, it would download the files fine, but when I clicked on the installation software, nothing would happen (I give the permission to change my computer). For the program of the camera, she went through the installation process, but when I click on it nothing happens. Curiously, for other programs it has no problem. I installed Firefox and Skype without problem. I also tried to download Adobe frm IE10 and Firefox. I'm starting to think that there is something inherently wrong with the laptop. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  • Windows Defender will not turn on

    I am told that Windows Defender has encountered a problem-0x800106ba. Said so to switch and restart, but to no avail. What then?

    I am told that Windows Defender has encountered a problem-0x800106ba. Said so to switch and restart, but to no avail. What then?

    You are running Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, Norton or McAfee? If you run one of those, she didn't have Defender. It's good, not bad. Not only is there potential conflict, but there is no reason to have both; basically to have something very similar to the built-in Defender, and both running at a time will be your performance level and create the risk of problems that are contrary to the other.

    I don't have a solution to your problem of "dvd".
    I have a suggestion:
    Forget to take the backup of files with dvds.
    Buy an external hard drive and use it for backups of files.

    A hard disk of 1 TB post can be had less than $100, to the Canada. The United States will be even less.

    Thanks to the external hard drive for backups of files, you don't have to sit by the computer and feed it with DVD whenever he asks. You can walk away. The computer will do its thing without you.

    A 2 x 4 in box will store all your files. No DVD more formatting. No more marking each dvd. No stacks more DVD.

  • Satellite A100 - recovery will not be finished and stop error message occurs

    Satellite A100-S2211TD, OS is Windows XP Home Edition of recovery disk,

    I have updated the BIOS to 2.20 and laptop was working fine. The old installation of Windows factory has worked well.
    After a few weeks, I tried to use the recovery disk to remove the noise from the HARD drive.
    The recovery of disk task completed and the computer restarted.
    I got the stop error message
    STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFA335528, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    I removed the memory that I have entered over the past two years and return the PC in the factory scene.
    However, recovery will not be finished (he worked to restore).

    I am able to boot in dos with a separate boot disk (Dr. back, windows does not start, not even in the safe control mode) and I did chdsk of the disc and disc is fine.

    I've never used before recovery disc, the only thing different is BIOS 2.20 instead of 1.50.
    WEB of TOSHIBA said that if you upgrade the BIOS most 2.00 you can not return to 1. XX

  • Rescue and recovery will not restore backup files it finds when starting

    I recently had a system problem on my Lenovo computer and had to recreate the image. When I try to restore my backup using rescue and recovery (R & R), they prove inaccessible. How to access these backups?

    Details of the options selected in R & R are attached, as an image on the screen of the settings dialog box.

    Running R & R, backups (on an external HDD USB) are visible and can be selected as expected. When the computer restarts in the space of restoration work, after a warning do not turn off the power, you get the error message "the restore has failed because the backup was not found at the specified location. Accept that the computer restarts in Windows. In this case regardless of the options selected at the start of R & R.  Where appropriate I select the USB external storage device in the Setup program and select a backup of those listed.

    I also tried updating all Lenovo utilities, including R & R. The option 'get new updates"errors when downloading the package information Lenovo Service Center (1 on 1) at the helm of the 30% with the error" Exception should not met!

    A lot of ongoing issues.  Many Lenovo post deal with each issue. Intel, system update, create a recovery to the USB media.

    For now, I'll address your problems of rescue and recovery. It seems that your system worked well, until a database had records in doubles in it, and you want to use RI to restore a backup on your USB.

    Then you have attempted a return to the factory, which show a lot of questions.

    If I understand your request, you want to restore your system to some time in the past, using a backup RNR. Either last week or 2 months ago. Something that works.

    ===

    RNR will save all partitions on the disk C DD.  It never saves another HARD disk.  2 readers warning has been around for a while. If C and D are on the C drive, HARD drive, it will run through RNR.

    Single file restore only runs on the windows RNR.  But there is no need to restart standalone RNR (pf11 during startup).

    It is ok. At least the RNR version on windows can find and restore your USB /rrbackups, of 5 min or 30 hours. This works.

    ==

    Factory restore installs a RNR version right here. This version probably does not match the version on your USB. If you started the RNR factory with the USB version version, you might expect not found messages.

    ===

    On your system windows today, please state the version installed.  Start using pf11 and indicate the version installed.

    You cannot create recovery media and rescue on the same device. Your luck if anything boots on the USB (other positions).

    Essentially, the RNR standaone version must match the /rrbackups on USB.

    =

    How do restore you to the factory settings? pf11 through the work of rnr or external cd/dvd?

    You are the original owner of the machine?

    In order to use the recovery disks, you need to replace the hard drive with one of the same storage capacity or more.
