HP PAVILION ELITE E9280T D: CTO need new recovery disc

I have a pair of old HP Pavillion E9280T desktop systems. I have recently installed a new hard disks on the two (both are identical machines, ordered that a pair of HP).  I also have a two sets of recovery disks that I made when the systems are new, saved on DVD.

On a single system, I was able to successfully perform a full restore (return to factory settings).  On the other system, recovery stops on the 3rd disc in 68% and gives me the following error message: "Recovery Manager is unable to restore your computer by using the original image. Please contact HP support. 0xe0ef000e error code.

I've searched the forums and found that many others have experienced this same problem.  I tried some of the proposed fixes, such as clean rags and Re-partitioning the hard drive.  None of them worked.

For fun, I also tried to recover the system using the recovery of the other machine disks.  I discovered that I was able to do a full system recovery using these disks.  It tells me that I have probably a corrupt set of recovery disks and not a hardware problem.

Unfortately, while it was fun to find out where the source of the problem, I can of course use the same set of recovery disc for both machines (I'm sure that Windows will blow up as soon as I connect to the internet and connect to MS servers).

So my question is... what should I do?  I don't think that HP sells the recovery discs any longer.  But I have a copy of Win7 Pro that I paid for, trapped on the recovery discs that don't work.

In advance, thank you for any suggestions or advice.

OK... im going to answer my own question... I should have realized this earlier, before posting my initial question.

I had a set of recovery disc for an HP same machine... at the beginning I don't think that I could use them... I did not know that the unique product key MS is not copied or assigned to the recovery discs... and since both systems where the same in all respects... it worked!

  • HP Pavilion Elite e9280t with Sound Blaster XFi Titanium - sounds coming out bad speakers

    I'm having a problem with my HP Pavilion Elite e9280t with a SoundBlaster XFi Titanium soundcard.  The system seems to get confused when listening to some media files and multimedia out of web sites.  By confused, I mean that the main sounds come out of my rear speakers rather than the front speakers. Which should come out the rear speakers out of the front.

    Ran the Creative Diagnostics and they test clean. The software correctly identifies the front speakers and rear.  The biggest problem is with web pages (YouTube, Hulu and others); However what happens with some media files (wmv, avi and flv) that I have on my system.

    Speakers that I use are older, and I would be willing to replace if necessary to resolve the problem. They are a set of Labtec 5.1. If someone things I need to replace it, let me know any suggestions.

    Thanks for any ideas where I can Explorer.

  • Update the bios HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 480t CTO Desktop PC

    I just bought a hard drive 3 TB to my HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 480t CTO and he only sees a drive 746,52 GB under Windows 7 pro 64 bit. My main drive is a 1.5 to and he sees very well. where can I find an update of the BIOS using the new drive? I have been to the page "downloads of software and the driver" and it does not list one. Am I out of luck?

    When I ran Paragon booted from a USB stick to copy my 1.5 TB drive it given the disk as a disk of 2.7 to so I think the bios is seening it?

    EDIT: The Intel rapid storage technology software sees as 2 862 TB, but windows doesn't see 746,52 GB.

    Thank you

    Solved!

    Update card mother sata drivers and program "Fast storage Intel technology" and it now works fine.

    Went to ma-configdotcom and ran their detection app and it recommended JMB36X_WinDrv_R1.17.65_WHQL_eSATA.zip of JMicron and Intel's SetupRST.exe. I ran both, restarted the computer and viola! He works and see all the new drive.  I hope this helps someone else.

  • HP Pavilion Elite e9280t PC: need a fan spec for HP Pavilion Elite

    Hello.

    I have a copuple HP Pavilion Elite PCs (round box) e9280t I buy several years ago. Now refresh their place with new hard disks.  While I am, thought I would replace the old dusty case fans (I understand the fans can go wrong, after many years, just like hard drives).

    Did anyone here know how I can get the exact specifications for these fans, so I know what to buy when I'm shopping.

    Thank you.

    @fridaythemovie, welcome to the forum.

    The best way to determine that fans have been used since the computer is older is to measure.  Also, if you delete a computer, you can find the CFM.  You can check with the vendor to see if they have available to them.

    Disconnect the PC and press and hold power for 30 seconds. Remove and replace the battery CMOS. It's a $4 item. Now let's see what happens. If no joy, then try the steps above once again.

    If your PC support has been changed or modified then put it back in its original state.

  • I have a HP Pavilion p6-2143 w can I use recovery discs HP Elite 8300?

    My computer would not power on I have sent in for warranty work, when the shipping information said I may have need of recovery disks. I called and ordered some 2/22, they were to be delivered 3/4, they's never came. I advanced and sent my computer for warranty work, they said I could do the recovery thing myself. Well, the computer is back, but still no disks.  I called today and spent an hour on the phone only to be transferred back from support for the people of the order which kept confirming that it was sent. I was super frustrated. Tried not to go out on any of them.  But now I have still no disks.  Can I use a part of the job, they say HP Eilite 8300 Hp Elite 8380 HP Pro 6300 HP Pro 6380?  Help before I go out my hair.  Please, I beg you.

    Hello

    Your question was refitted.

    Review the HP Office recovery procedure.

  • Help! Maybe I need the recovery disc for pavilion d4790y... + I think I messed...

    I had problems with my office for awhile now, think it might be a fan, virus, hard drive or ram as in my previous post... the computer would freeze/crash or not stop, requiring a firm hard. trying to reboot/restart computer, it would beep several times until I have let it sit for a few minutes, then everything was back to normal (found that might have been an error in the BIOS after all this happened)...

    Now, I have NOT touched or replaced all the components on my computer at all. Nothing! Now I have a debate on the upgrade of OS and RAM, but did not decide whether it was worth on this older machine. So I have done no amendment or change in software. the only change I made to it was not renew norton and goes with vast (free).

    The other day, it suddenly wouldn't boot Win Vista 32 in all. My monitor at startup (before config utility appears) had colored vertical lines across the screen. I immediately thought 'virus' or ' fan isn't card graphic blown is screwed/false driver downloaded... I enter safe mode with network, no problem with the monitor (no lines) and tried driver restore, but also to download nividia the updated. Nothing seemed to work except safe mode (s), system configuration, start the Setup program, CTRL I (don't remember which menu is), & screen of the system restore/repair/diagnose. I tried all the reboot thing pilots config, patterns of change (hard disk only), boot it. When you go to the splash screen (a back screen on startup), no line either... I tried the system restore, did not a thing... I tried the verification of diagnosis, all right... all equipment, the repair of the system did nothing...

    So I take the side box power off to check the components inside to see if any wiring was loose, fans not working/salty, etc... everything OK there besides fan a little dirty. Clean, same thing. Here comes the fun part...

    Now, I backed up all my files and 'backup' on my external hard drive... I thought that I had made the recovery discs or he had came with it when I bought it... I changed the configuration settings RAID0 by removing the old installation and turned to the raid no drives. Then, I created a RAID0 again... I guess you know where this is going...

    He said now insert the boot cd... Now, it of not anything but let me in Control Panel and change the startup preferences...

    I have no recovery disk or I can't find what happened if I have... with backup (for USB) external drives will not work... I kind of looking online hp without result and I saw some online, but that seems pretty shady, especially with the case of the OS...

    I will not buy another office, if I can help it, but I need to know if there is something I can do?

    Thank you

    Hello:

    Yes, I've been able to do it once, but you also need an operating system installation disk. You need a USB FDD + OS installation disc and the correct drivers of course on the floppy drive.

    You can use a recovery for this drive yet. It must be an OS installation disc.

    Yes have ultimate could be a problem. If you enter your model number on this site of surgeons in the computer, you get a lot of options showing the recovery disks for different versions of the OS, but only had listed actually drives.

    You need to call HP and ask or email these surgeons computer guys and see if they have the recovery disc for ultimate games.

    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?
