HP Pavilion Media Center m7580: HP Pavilion Media Center m7580n recovery disks

I have an old HP Pavilion m7580n Media Center, provided with Windows XP - I put it to update to Vista Ultimate (64-bit). I wish she were bacek to a very basic Windows OS XP, any suggestions? Do you think I can buy a new XP license, or can I use my product key for XP? I can't find any Revoery disc. ANY help would be appreicated - thank you.

You are the very welcome.

You should have no problem with that, and your PC will run probably better, because a 64-bit operating system requires more memory and disk space to run a 32 bit OS only.

Given that your PC can take up to 4 GB of memory, there is no advantage to run an operating system to 64-bit on it.

  • Express the Media Player (EMP) recovery disk - satellite P105-S6024

    I have a problem with my on my new machine satellite P105-6024 express Media Player software.

    As I bought it, everything works fine. But then, I did the partitions on my HARD drive and I instaled all the software recovery disc. And everything looks earlier and work properly but Express Media Center. It seems that it is not installed. I found the special Express Media Player restore disk but I don't know how to use it. (I am a novice complite). As I knew EMP is a linux-like software and it is not visible in Windows. And I know that there was a small special partition dedicated to this application. This partition has been deleted. And I'm not sure that it is possible to install EMP once more on my laptop. How can I use the EMP recovery disk? If I just run in the windows environment I see just a few files - but their execution, nothing is happen. I'd appreciate a small manual.

    Thank you very much in advance

    Hello

    I found this on the web:

    Installation Guide step by step for Express Media Player and Windows XP Recovery on two partitions in Expert mode:

    (1) all DATA on HARD drive will BE DESTROYED IRREVERSABLY (it's serious!)
    (2) install Express Media Player:
    Boot from the recovery Express Media Player CD
    --> use [delete all Partitions] (can be on the left side of the menu for older versions of reader).
    THIS ERASES THE ENTIRE HARD DRIVE!
    (3) boot with the Windows XP Recovery CD, go to expert mode and exit the "TOSHIBA Recovery Tool" (version OEM Ghost) using menuitem "Quit."
    (4) you can use fdisk.exe or gdisk.exe - I'll show the syntax here gdisk
    (its easier to describe and there are a lot of descriptions for FDISK on the net)
    (5) now, we create two partitions (size of 50%: 50%-playersize).
    --> At the DOS prompt, type:
    Gdisk 1 /cre /pri /sz:50%-> creates a primary partition 1
    Gdisk 1 /cre /ext-> creates an extended partition 2
    Gdisk 1/log /cre-> creates a 2nd logical partition
    Gdisk 1/p:1-> partionion set 1 active /act
    (6) now reboot with Windows XP Recovery CD, go to expert mode
    (7) menu use: Local\Partition\From Image, choose image GHO menu
    (8) there should only be ONE partition available source:
    1 primary DiskLoad NTFS 07...-> pick this one!
    (9) Select destination disk (there are also only one)
    1 basic...-> pick this one!
    (10) now you need to choose the destination partition - there should be three to choose!
    (11) select:
    1 primary 0C Fat32 without name...-->! BE SURE TO CHOOSE THIS ONE!
    (12) to confirm that you want to write on this partition
    "(13)" TOSHIBA Recovery Tool "is unpack and install the operating system
    (14) subsequently Windows XP and Media Player Express are installed

    Hope this will help you. Good luck!

    Hello

    I have a hp Pavilion p6 2000 ukm. Recently I started getting on my HARD drive error messages, saying it was a failure. I recently bought a new HDD in my pc. I connected it correctly and it says that I need recovery disk / boot disk.

    To my knowledge when I bought this pc there was no disk Windows 7. Now I know on workstations, you create your own.

    My question is... How to get windows 7 installed on my new hard drive when I plug it in? I'm looking for the iso of windows 7, I think that his name, but I can't find any .iso file.  I'm trying to install windows 7 on my new drive HARD I need not my other files like music... etc. I'm looking to get my HARD drive installed with windows 7, where it has IE and I can go back to the installation of everything I had previously. Should u use "create a system image"? Its a big file and requires 7 + dvd discs is my only option? I have my 25 key windows 7 as well.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6135dx: bad recovery disks sent

    If three computers laptops hp of my family died in the same week (tbf time my parents had the virus and I have neglected my failing ram). I took them all better buy geek team because I didn't have the time to fix and my parents are under warenty.

    All I wanted to do to mine was a complete system restore and wiping, already backed up all my data but my recovery partition has been altered and I don't have a recovery disk, a mistake I'll be sure to never do it again.

    After that the best buy had it for a few days, that they informed me that I had to buy the hp recovery discs. I paid extra money for 2 days shipping, obtained records, took the best purchase and waited several days to be told that the discs are bad and I had to ask hp for replacements for the disks, I had no more than a week ago. So today I spent over an hour on the phone by train and failure to have a person to understand and give me a solution to what I thought was a fairly simple problem (everyone I spoke with was nice, but we had a problem with his microphone and I could hardly understand them).

    Don't know what should be the next step, but I have been without my computer alone for weeks at this point and I seriously need to work.

  • Pavilion new hard drive XP Media Center Edition 2005, won't boot from the system recovery disks

    Hi, I'm trying to replace the hard drive in Pavilion a1620n a member of the family with XP Media Center Edition 2005 where the original Samsung SP2504C HDD failed.  I HAVE the original recovery discs 1 and 2 system and additional recovery disk supplied with the PC but the problem seems to be that I can't get the PC to boot from them to start the recovery process.  I installed a new Western Digital 500 GB HARD drive.  The BIOS recognizes it is installed (as well as the existing DVD - RW drive) and drive past the on-board CHIP support tests.  I tried using the Boot Menu ESC to select the DVD - RW Drive as the first Boot device, as well as the tab Boot Setup of BIOS F1 to set the 1st boot CD-ROM device group and other people with disabilities.  After reboot, the drive of DVD - RW turns on for about 2 seconds, then turns off and the display shows "DISK BOOT FAILURE", INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER.  I thought maybe I needed a kind of bootable CD boot disk to format the drive first, so I tried a BACK 6.22 bootable CD and a bootable CD of MEMTEST, that work on the other PC, but I get the same message "DISK BOOT... "on this one.  My next idea would be to try to host the new drive on another PC and copy the files on it recovery disk... but is it really necessary?  If the own PC system recovery CD should not be able to... Recover?

    It seems to me that the ligthscribe drive has a problem.  Replace the disk and it may be OK after that.  On a PC so old, it is probably an IDE drive, but check first.

  • HP Pavilion Media Center a1640n Prod #RC663AA recovery disks

    I just had a phone completely frustrated with HP support so thought I would try here.

    PC of a friend had a boot and data.  I found the hard drive to be bad with the on-board diagnostic systems of the PC, the hard drive, without SMART tests.  I was able to save a large part or all of the data.  However, the PC was basically unable to operate.  Try to start in all but the BIOS or diagnoses would fail.  The owner recovery disks never did.  But the recovery partition seems to be intact.

    I was able to save with Todo Backup & Recovery partitions and restore them on another hard drive.  She, of course, wouldn't boot either.  I have Win7 installed on the primary partition on the new hard drive successfully.  I have no way to use the recovery partition and there is content, however.

    I called HP to see reference and the price for a set of recovery disc.  I have been informed that, since the original OS is XP (Media Center, btw), that the recovery discs are no longer available.  Irresponsible in my mind, but it is what it is.

    That leaves two questions:

    (1) is there a source for the recovery disc for this product?

    (2) is it possible to use the recovery Partition to create recovery disks or recover the initial installation of the operating system on the new hard drive to a new installation of the OS?  Currently, Windows 7 32-bit is installed.  I have the means to install XP Pro, Win7 32 - or 64 - bit, or Win8 64 bit on this partition.

    At this point, I'm trying to put it back the way it was.  I know I could install just Win7/8/8.1 and be - assuming appropriate drivers exist for all.  But at this point, I'm trying to get the PC running at a lower cost.  Which, seems to me, would be to get XP Media Center, re-installed at minimal or no cost in more the new HD.

    Any constructive contribution would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello:

    I can answer your first question only.

    You can still get a set of recovery disc for this provider model.

    http://www.computersurgeons.com/p-12647-recovery-kit-5092-5956-for-HP-model-number-a1640n.aspx

    I would venture to guess that you can not do anything with the recovery partition.
