HP Pavilion dv6: System recoovery after replacing the HD because of the disk hard 301 error

I have problems with the original of my HP Pavilion dv6 PC hard drive portable. I get an alert (SMART disk error 301) every time that I reboot, but I can still load my Windows 7.

I just bought a new hard drive (SSD SATA3), but I would like to recover my original OS using my license key.

How can I do? Should I create a partition on the new disk (D, copy the contents of my RECOVERY disc and use Esc + F11 after reboot?) Do I need a recovery CD/DVD? In this case, can I create one of my system?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Drive smart error 301 indicated fall drive hard/failed hard drives

If you have recovery disks, no need for product key, insert the disc after replaced by the new fair SSD & insert the recovery disks to reinstall everything, including the recovery partition.

You can also order HP recovery discs

You must ensure that the size of the SSD is equal to or greater than the size of the previous HARD drive to perform successfully the recovery discs recovery.

If you have not created recovery disks, you can create one - http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01867418

Back up all your personal data now first.

Thank you

    Later, I inserted the recovery key in my laptop (that I used to create it) and it would not initialize to top. I checked the content to the flash drive and they seemed "Chargers", so it seems to be what I expected. It seems that the recovery USB STICK will not work if my own laptop dies.

    Thank you for your query.

    I understand you are trying to perform a recovery from a USB flash drive, but you get the error "pxe - m0f: exit pxe rom.

    "no bootable device-insert bootdisk and press any".  You check the recovery media on your laptop as it is the same model and it seems fine.

    Hello

    First of all, regarding the disk error message hard, it sounds like the drive has failed and you need to replace.

    About your existing data, there are a few options, I would say.

    1. one possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is to follow the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can launched from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files. 

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windo...

    2 another option would be to remove the drive HARD, place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

  • System Restore to factory settings after replacing the hard drive?

    I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre A52, which recently required a change of hard disk and the removal of a defective RAM 1 GB stick. When I bought my computer, it came with Windows XP Pro and the new hard drive that the updated computer has Windows XP Pro, but it seems to be missing a large part of the software (drivers and programs) that originally came with the computer, and even if I downloaded and installed most of them since the Lenovo Web site There are still some problems related to software that I can't fix. Ideally, I'd like to go back just to restore the system to the factory settings using the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery program, but I don't know if it will work. All programs and the necessary drivers will be installed again, even if my current hard drive is not 'knows' thereon? I need to get a Windows XP Pro installation CD, if I want to keep my operating system? Also, is it important that my current hard drive is half the previous, or that I now have half as much RAM?

    Thank you

    After replacing the hard drive, the only way to restore it to the State of the plant is using the Lenovo installation diskettes. You can also ask if Lenovo has a solution to your problem without having to reinstall Windows.

    You can download Lenovo drivers if they are not included on the installation disk. The size of your hard drive does not matter.

  • recovery after replacing the hard drive - pavillion dv6 notebook

    Hello

    I'm about to replace a defective hard drive on my pc, but I'm not sure how to continue the process of windows recovery. I was wondering if I need to contact HP for recovery set despite the fact that I have a recovery disk (D :) on my laptop. I replace the local hard drive (c :)) and I was wondering if the recovery on my pc drive is enough to drive the recovery process?)

    Thanks for your help,

    Hello

    The recovery is actually just a partition on the same physical drive as your operating system, so when the HARD drive is replaced, it will be gone, however there are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition D.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 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 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.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct disk Image ( must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - IE Home Premium, professional etc. ) 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 an ISO to a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    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.

  • HP Pavilion G6 - 2148TX Power Up after replacing the fan problem

    Hello

    After replacing the fan, I have a power issue with the laptop. Basically, the laptop will only fuel on the power cable disconnected to the motherboard. It is by mistake only after the fan has been replaced and everything got back together, I noticed that the battery was not charging.

    I then opened the machine and reconnected the power cable to the motherboard and nothing - no power.

    When connecting to the source of power with the battery in place, adjacent to the power supply lights in WHITE then remains ORANGE and will not. Seeing no other, no fan noise, nothing.

    If I remove the battery, the adjacent to the power supply led in WHITE and white rest however not feed either. Same agin, no LED, no fan noise, nothing.

    Now, I opened the machine upward and disconnected the power from the motherboard. Put it all back together and that the laptop starts as usual with the battery and it works very well. (Well until the battery runs in any case)

    I'm looking for some advice on what the issue could be given my conclusions.

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, I've now solved the problem. I bought the DC power cable that connects the motherboard to the socket on the laptop. $15 on eBay.

    Connecting the supply cable to the Jack of the laptop, the 'white' and is LED stayed on. The battery was not installed at the time. With a deep breath, I pressed the power button expecting anything to happen, but when he lit a big smile appeared on my face.

    The laptop booted up normally.

    I then install the battery and the battery indicator showed it to load. Everything is good and a son of 18 very happy. The fault was as expected according to my previous email. I hope this helps someone in the future, shame on HP response was off the mark in light of the original explanation and clarification post. But appreciated nonetheless.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: cannot install the Bluetooth driver

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 A1U55AV who had a hard drive failure. After replacing the drive and the installation of the operating system, I was able to get all the drivers reinstalled except bluetooth. First of all, the HP support site gives me three options... Looks like it should just give me a. Which should I use?

    I tried to use the Intel PROSet Bluetooth Driver, but I get the following error on my machine (FYI - Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Service Pack 1 is my operating system).

    I'm using the correct driver, and if so, why the installer does not work?

    Hello:

    If you are sure that your laptop came with built-in bluetooth (the Realtek 8188CE wireless card can come in a combination or card bluetooth not combination), then this is the bluetooth driver you need for this wireless card.

    Recently, I messed up my CPU and bought a replacement (exact same kind). I am running windows 7 ultimate and for about 6 months prerequisites with no problems. After replacing the CPU I get intermittent lock ups, sometimes with a small portion of the screen flashes. I say intermittent but at least every 15-20 minutes. Different programs, different habits, but still the screen freezes.

    I went in and deleted the driver under graphics cards, pick a 'completely remove the option' - it after restarting the system on its own charged for a Standard VGA Graphics Adapter and since there is then no more accidents. Of course the functionality is not as complete, large icons and such, but it works.

    If it certainly seems to point to a driver conflict I think. But for this machine, is there ever any single Vista Windows 7 driver. My skills are not so, but I'm moving.
