HP Pavilion p2: System Restore

Good afternoon

My name is Alan Garza and I'm trying to restore it to its factory of my computer settings. It's a Hp Pavilion p2. I don't want something to be saved or to be as it is now, I want it to be as if I just pulled it from the box. How can I do this? Thanks for the help, I hope I can talk to someone soon.

I look like to your recovery partition is damaged and you will need to get drives of recovery as stated in my previous post.

    The error message that desplays after the system recovery process, it is "Windows cannot verify the Publisher of this driver software".

    I tried clicking on the button 'Install anyway', at this point, more than 5 times.  The process does not move forward and I feel frustrated and turned off my computer.

  • System Restore suspended at 0% - HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14-b001ea - Windows 7

    Hello

    I bought the Pavilion in 2011, but the OS has become corrupted during the weekend. Performing a system restore. I have the screen of "Restoring the Factory image" and a "tick" against the first 3 options (reformatting of the windows of your disk partition, copy the files needed to restore the hard drive and reinstall the original software"

    However, after more than 12 hours (night on the left), the progress is always showing 0%, and the cursor is a blue rotating circle.

    If I recycle the power that I have no doubt that I will not have a 'C' drive due to the first part of the restoration of the Windows partition but the ideas of formatting?

    Thank you

    The easiest way is to download Microsoft Windows 7 USB\DVD download toolstore. Once you have done this, you will need to download an iso image of the operating system that was originally installed in your sleekbook from there.

    Use the Windows 7 USB\DVD download tool to create a windows usb Installer.

    Connect Windows usb Setup, turn on the sleekbook and immediately press the ESC key. In the start menu, choose boot options, and select Setup from usb as a boot option.

    Select repair your computer.

    Choose the Startup Repair tool

    After clicking on finish, your laptop will reboot and you should be able to start Windows normally again.

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: HP Pavilion 15 laptop: System Restore completed successfully. The problem is not resolved.

    About 3-4 weeks ago, my computer found himself in a reboot loop. I was not online at the time where he was probably not due to an update.

    After going on the HP Web site, it was first suggested that the issue could be overheating due to dust. I followed the instructions but it does not work.

    Diagnosis is directed which has determined that there are no problems with the hardware or memory.

    Then the site suggested that I do a Refresh system or a system restore. I tried the cooling system. It did not work.

    I contacted HP Tech Support hotline and they told me to update the drivers. Drivers cannot be updated / installed (by me at least) in Safe Mode, if it does not work.

    Then told me the only choice I had was to do a Factory Reset/System Restore.  After the purchase of an external HARD drive and backup of my files, I tried to do the factory reset. I received a prompt to insert a disc, but computer did not come with a disc. If it does not work.

    Then I was told by support that I had to buy "recovery disc" or a new copy of Windows 8.1. Technical support said it was the only way to solve the problem. By chance, I found another video that shows how to access recovery tool of real system since menu troubleshooting at start-up.

    System recovery completed successfully. However, while creating the new installation of Windows 8.1 (implementation name, country, favorite colors, e-mail etc.) the original reboot loop problem started. If it does not work. Even worse, because the Windows installation is incomplete - and can complete because of the reboot loop - I can access more fashion is safe.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Miracles would net you have my firstborn (eat too in any case).

    Okay, so I had to take the machine to a technician. What she said is that it was certainly not a hardware problem. Its best estimate is that my computer As witn infected a Trojan horse which subsequently transferred, entered the BIOS and corrupted partition.

    Short history of Tech, they fixed by redoing the BIOS and installing a new copy of Windows 8.1. I asked about the other options that I received. She explained that a remote technical support could not fix the problem, nor recovery disks could solve the problem.

    My advice to all who encounter such a complex problem, when you contact HP Support don't forget to request contact information for a local HP technician, licensed (I only asked for this in desperation by accident). Just in case your problem is not easily diagnosed or solvable, it might just save you some time, money and spare you confusion.

    As for how I got infected with the Trojan possible in the first place, no idea. The only thing I can think is that I've opened an e-mail looking strange but legitimate to someone I didn't know. However, it was about 6 months ago and the problem started a month before, so I at least do not know if there is a link. However, it is always good advice not to open strange e-mails. Note that the technician did say that even if I had Norton installed, it would not be able to automatically detect the problem. (I wonder if I called Norton technical support if they could have helped or pointed me in the right direction faster. But even once, any comments or information I received from HP technical support gave usable clues. "And refresh the system that has been proposed did uninstall Norton).

    So, I have a computer to work again. I hope this info can be useful to someone and avoid frustration. Thanks to everyone who took the time to read my post.

  • Pavilion 2000: Using the system restore

    I used the system restore in the past and I know it took a few hours to complete with good results, as it eliminated the problem. Last week, I used the restoration of the system, the screen turned blue and the restoration began however this continued for more than 3 days!  I was unable to use my laptop for so long. I saw a blue screen with an icon swirling in the Center. Miraculously, the day 4, he came back to life, but immediately began to update the apps I had checked to only not to do. It took an extra day. Actually, now it's back to normal. I am now afraid to use the restoration of the system again. What I've done wrong?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum.

    Could you provide your full computer model - information can be seen from the service tag sticker > > http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Miscellaneous-Topics-Read-Only/Advice-for-asking-the-quot-Very-Best-Question-quot/td-p/83280 ?

    Could you confirm your OS - is this Windows 8/8.1 now?

    I see your previous thread in the attempt to upgrade to W10...

    I'm not sure about what you were wrong (if anything), but

    System Restore is a feature of Windows that usually takes minutes (30 minutes max) in full, not hours, not days. It restores the Windows registry, files/settings of the system to a previous state and is generally quick.

    Do you mean the system recovery or system reset/refresh?

    These are different things. These restore original Windows or format partitions on HARD drive - it can take an hour or 2-3 max but not days.

    If these (especially system restore) lasts days, there is indeed something wrong with the operating system.

    Looking forward to your confirmations.

    Hi Volatus,

    I would say lets you do a system restore using the Windows Vista DVD to one hour before the update that has the problem of the installation and check if you are able to boot.

    What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

    I hope this helps.

  • Hall 20: I can't do a system restore to overcome the refusal of the system to accept the password.

    I did a restore to factory on the Pavilion 20. Pressing me F11 has troubleshooting screen and I chose the system restore. All right

    I set up the UserName Admin and the password carefully (but don't think to do a password recovery disk).  I installed a different AntiVirus Norton application, a default value.  So I uninstalled Norton.  It required a reboot to complete uninstallation.

    This is where my problems started.

    Upon restart, the computer will not accept the password!  There is no mistake here.  It was carefully designed and entered in the creation of duing twice.  I even considered perhaps that I soon take my finger on the SHIFT key (twice) then tried many variations of SHIFT or no change for the capitals and even the next character in the password.  I restarted 50 times trying to get just one time and then I would like to choose a new password for connection.

    For the next, I thought I could just do a restore of the system from zero and re - configure again.  But now there is no option for me to use the system recovery.  This option is missing!  I spent many hours on searches of google for similar problems.  It's just not there.  I tried to use F10 and F11 to enter the system recovery.  I get to the menu troubleshooting and it has 3 options: Refresh uoir PC, reset your PC options and advanced.
    Clicking on advanced options gives me the system restore (a restore point (doesn't) usung) System Image recovery, startup repair, command prompt and UEFI firmware settings.

    I'm positn gthis in the hope that I can do a system recovery to the command prompt.  Is this possible?  If this is not the case, how can I do a system restore when the OPtion is not avaiiable?

    My question is: a complete system recovery was done, why it is no longer possible to

    Hello Newton51

    It will display the number of full model of the computer.

    I don't know what happened on your system but when you do the reset of the system, don't go not advanced.

    You should be able to click on reset your PC. That will erase the C: partition and reinstall Windows.

    When its finished, and you get to the part where it asks you to create a password for the user, LEAVE BLANK.

    Restart to make sure you can connect without using a password.

    IF you succeed at this stage, create your HP Recovery Media via the HP Support Assistant.

    If you enter an impasse once again, recovery media will wipe the drive and reinstall everything, including the recovery partition.

    NOTE: HP will allow you to record only one copy of the recovery media, so not to interrupt the process when you start.

    Now remove Norton and restart.

    Install this that never new you want security.

    When you're done, go to your user profile and carefully create your word password but do not close yet.

    Create the key to reset password on a USB key.

    Now restart and test your password.

    You have a USB reset if it doesn't.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    If you are not able, or do not succeed to reset the PC, you have two options. Use the MS media creation tool to create recovery media (from another computer).

    Then, reinstall Windows 8.1 and download your HP drivers and install them.

    Or

    Order directly the appropriate recovery of the HP Support media.

    Contact HP worldwide | HP® official site

    Choose the country you are. Choose Help, then to the House.
    Enter the full product number and follow the prompts to contact Support.

    Chat with an agent will ensure that you get the appropriate recovery media.

  • System Restore DVD Vista vs Windows 7

    I'm new here and I apologize if this has been asked before.  I looked around and tried to search but can't find my answer.

    I just reveived my new HP Pavilion dv7t last night.  Notebook Essentials booklet says to create a set of DVD system restore, but This can only be done once.  I am in the process to register for the upgrade to Windows 7 snce is expected within a week.

    Should I go ahead and create the restore DVD system with the Vista operating system, and if I do I then will be able to create another System Restore DVD for Windows 7?

    I want to assure you that I have a restore of the system based on both operating systems, where I need to go back to Vista, but still have a system for Windows 7 restore, if it proves to be stable and I like the OS.

    I hope this makes sense...

    Make your Vista recovery DVD. Two reasons...

    1. you will not be able to do a cover of 7 Win set, (unless, of course, HP offers a magic here).

    2. If you install Win 7 and you need to reinstall it later, you will have to start with the Vista installation and repeat the upgrade process (unless HP upgrade version works differently from the retail... version did not get a response on this one here).

    Of course, you can always use an application of imaging to make an image of the newly installed Win 7 to use in the case of a reinstall. Acronis True Image or Macrium Reflect are 2 choices. Macrium is my preference.

  • DV6 - 6153cl drivers for biometric devices missing after system restore

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 - 6153cl Entertainment PC with Windows 7. I used the fingerprint reader, since I have my laptop. The scanner has stopped working.

    Background: two weeks ago, I downloaded the latest version of Norton 360 (Version 21.1.1.7), which caused my laptop to keep crashing every few hours. After much time consulting technical support, I did a system restore to a few days before the new version download then downloaded the version of Norton 360 and active. This solves the problem of crash.

    Problem: After restoring the system, my fingerprint reader no longer works. By control panel > all Control Panel items > biometric devices, "Windows do not have the biometric devices on this computer. You will need to attach your device or install device drivers. "Can someone tell me what are the correct drivers that I need and where to find them?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    First of all, download and reinstall the driver Validity Sensor on the following link.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp55001-55500/sp55109.exe

    Once completed, restart the laptop.

    If it still not works, you may also need to reinstall HP SimplePass on the link below.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp54501-55000/sp54680.exe

    Yet, when it has installed, restart the laptop.

  • System Restore blocks never, never complete Windows day & installation of new programs gel updates.

    Greetings!

    After a scheduled update of Windows Vista, automatic updates has stopped working, among many other things:

    In manual mode, the progress bar hangs at 0% of the first update and never shows progress.

    When I try to shut down the PC (HP Pavilion s3241la computer desktop Slimline), the same story: set automatic start installation, but with no progress and in the end, I have to turn off the PC the way lasts.

    In Control Panel-> system of-> System Protection, I see no point of system restore, the system maintains "research" for always for these points but poster ever one and HARD drive shows no activity; the console "System Restore... ' is not too available, this is the button is grayed.

    No matter what program I try to install or to upgrade never ends, facilities simply wants.

    Help! How can I solve this?, the system is a production unit & it is not easy to stop all activities to perform a reinstallation from scratch.

    Best regards.

    Greetings & happy new year...
    After you use all 3 methods to solve the malfunction of the system, I am sorry to say that none worked.

    Method 1 makes no difference once the antivirus went.

    Method 2 has found no breach of integrity or something similar and rolling back to a previous restore point did not help also.

    Method 3 turned the system in a very unstable state, and at the end, I was forced to do a full backup of my data and restore the computer to the BONES of the original factory configuration.

    Thanks anyway, and I hope that this situation will never happen because there is no easy way to solve it.

    Ideas: I get the 0x80073AFC error code when I try to use the system restore then, how can I find and replace this file missing MUI?

    • I am running Windows 7 for packs SP 1 or SP 2 does NOT solve my problem since neither one works with Windows 7.  Is there a way to search for this MUI (Multiple User Interface) missing file? The every thing must have himself installed in the first place. I took my mom (she died in June) and my brother on this PC as users so even if they do not use this PC supports multiple users. Maybe if I deleted as a reboot and additional users it will solve my problems. My updates install OK but I can't run at all system restore. It creates a restoration point OK but when I try to sr back to a restore point before I get the error 0x80073AFC topic of the missing MUI file. Then, when I spear SR it is said that he could not and no files have been changed because of the error 0x8000FFFF error, unspecified catastrophic failure and could not retrieve the file several times when system restore is attempted.

      Can you tell me what I try next? Thnks a lot and sayonara for now the guy-Jack McElwee / keimanzero the Scion of the Anime in Brookhaven PA - USA

      OK I tried everything and nothing works! Only added beginners are updated browser Opera 10.63; IE9 (Beta); Firefox 3.6.12 and Google Chrome 7.0.517.41 and Java 22. Of course like everyone else in the world, I had to uninstall/enable and disable/download again and reinstall new Adobe Flash 10 and 11 of the shock wave and they keep crashing too! Hello 4 keep screwing browsers and now I get connection network problems. I run Comcast doctor and did everything it said to do, but nothing works. Oh and I added 7-Zip and WinZip also. Likewise, they will not work! Help! Thanks - K & K

    keimanzero,

    Comcast of Norton Security Suite version is installed? If Yes, who and perhaps malware is most likely to cause questions you have published, in particular the failure of the restoration of the system.
    First, configure the system to boot - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    NOTE: Start-up mode minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

    Download and Save the update system (or CheckSUR) tool. You will need to download the specific Version of CheckSUR corresponding to the architecture of the system to Windows 7. If you do not know the architecture of the system, and then click the link that says "Click here to show or hide the instructions step by step with images" under method 2: download the update directly system preparation tool from Microsoft Download Center .
    Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

    Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Now, run CheckSUR with the system connected to the internet because it will download the .cab for system files. Reboot once CheckSUR is complete.

    Secondly, I suggest that you run the File Checker system while in the same clean boot state.
    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the field search programs and files .
    2. Right click on cmd.exe in the programs of list, and then choose 'run as administrator '.
      If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    3. At the command prompt, enter the following line exactly as written including the space between thec and the/and then press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problems facing the system have been resolved.

    If they are not, you will need to contact Norton support for the version of Norton Internet Security Comcast to get help, or just uninstall NIS, run the Norton removal tool (right click Norton_Removal_Tool.exe, choose "Run as Administrator"), reboot and then check to see if the problems are still occurring.

  • How to restore a significant update to Windows 7 I lost after a restart for an earlier version of the system restore point?

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1 on a desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-350 t. Recently, a malfunction of Windows at startup caused my father reboot the system to a previous system restore point. (He says it was one of several options at startup.) Everything seems to work fine now except that I seem to have lost a critical update Windows downloaded after the restore point, Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.256. Still, there are in my Windows update history and is listed as "installed successfully", but when I check my updates installed, it is absent. Also, when I try to search for updates installed, I get a message indicating that Windows is up-to-date. I can't uninstall the update and re - install because it is missing from my list of installed updates. So I guess that the re-start to a previous system restore point has put this important WIndows update in limbo. How can ensure me that this update is installed correctly and working properly?

    Hello hakimbenzakis,

    Absolutely, because based on that you are running the latest version of the Windows Update Agent and have the last update to it.

    Oh Dear Brian, I hope there is no data file on the computer, you will need in the future. The F10 key is the path to the system recovery that restores the computer to the factory settings. It comes to the computer when it was bought new in 2003. It erases all the data files and installed programs from the drive. In other words, you start again:
