• HP Pavilion Sleekbook PC 14: Recovery of Windows 8: PC in a reboot cycle?

  Laptop model: HP Pavilion Sleekbook PC 14
  Product number: C7D58PA #AKL
  The system board ID: 18F9
  BIOS version: F 18
  Editor BIOS: Insyde

  64-bit Windows 8 (I think, unless he updated to 8.1 I don't know)

  No drive CD or DVD (Ultrabook).

  It is a laptop from a friend. At one point, he pointed out that it shows just a black screen with the mouse cursor after the start it (after loading Windows 8). He has no idea of what happened before that, I read a lot of online reports of people having problems after such a broken Microsoft updates for Windows 8 or 8.1.

  Anyway, it goes well with the idea of "clean install", nothing needs to be backed up. Recovery media (USB key) was created at the time. I start the laptop with the recovery media and get to HP Recovery Manager. I select 'Factory Reset' which is supposed to erase the whole hard drive and restore the initial factory condition.

  After some time (30-60 minutes, not sure), it has completed preparations, which I assume were re - create the recovery on the hard drive partition, etc. It is said the PC will start itself several times during the recovery process, and I should not meddle. Ok then.

  After I let it continue, Notepad starts, HP logo and the circle of rotation. After a while, I see a glimpse of what appears to be an empty office of Windows and a window that says something like:

  HP laptop
  < date > < time > (e.g. 14/08/2015 11:15)
  Please wait...

  (there is a button in there I think)

  Which is available for a fraction of a second, but then the laptop restarts automatically just and this very fact time and time again, showing this dialog screen each time after you start HP logo. I waited about 8 hours, and it continued just do so that even, it seems that the recovery process is interrupted every time with a reboot. If this restart is due to a system error, where I can see the journal, IE. What is the error?

  So, what to do next? I have reset defaults in case where (though I think that nothing has ever changed in any case) BIOS, no effect. I have not tried to update the BIOS, but even if I find a new/UEFI BIOS for this laptop, I would try rather than as a last resort, or after that I have the PC back on.

  I also tried the other recovery options, lighter, ('System Recovery' and 'Reduced Image recovery') prior to "Factory Reset", but they have not yet further, I think.

  In addition, I ran a full system check in the start menu (RAM and hard drive), everything was reported as fine.

  Yet one thing that may or may not serious, in case there is a problem of Windows 8: since the PC HP is bought in Thailand, it has a cheaper, 'reduced' Windows 8 version. It's a play full version, but apparently a kind of 'reduced' version that Microsoft sells cheaper on some countries, such as the Thailand. I'm not entirely sure what the restrictions are, at least you can not change the language of Windows system after the initial selection of IIRC (when Windows 8 was executed first to complete installation preloaded, English was chosen as the language of the system).

  I mention this only because I'm not sure if it causes certain restrictions on workarounds, such as the use of some other Windows 8/8.1 recovery media created on another PC or downloaded an ISO from Microsoft, or somesuch. I have already learned the hard way that not all editions of Windows seem to be created equal with regard to the options of recovery, being able to launch the etc SafeMode (at least this was the case with my Windows 7, a lot of instructions online for just would not work on it because they are expecting boot options that simply weren't there).

  USB media recovery that I use is created initially, according to HP.

  Problem solved. Steps to follow:

  1. forget about HP recovery. Of course it does not work for me little matter how I pray, I went to come and clean up the entire hard drive of all partitions (I presume that the recovery partition went too).

  2. create the installation media Windows 8.1 with Microsoft http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media media creation tool

  I created the USB media on a USB flash drive of 8 GB on another PC. It will work and install correctly on Windows 8 system, no need to install first 8.0 and then he move to 8.1.

  3 boot from the installation media, install (I chose the option to not save or move anything old windows, after all he was not supposed to be any previous Windows installed) and a great success. I guess you have to download and install drivers from HP separately, perhaps,

  In fact, I am now upgrading to Win10.

• Using on Windows XP system recovery disks

  I have a Pavillion A1102n which is no longer under warranty. Has started to have problems with it

  Sunday and attempted to use the disks. However, one would not charge. When I tried to open the drive

  to run, using the folder on the drive showed me two records and I didn't know which file would start the process.

  I went at the start-> programs-> PC Help Tools & -> PC System Recovery and restored the computer this way.

  However, everything that has been done quit all programs in my program files. Now, I get several messages

  Thanks to Norton of Trojans in drive c:\ under Documents & Settings and Windows folders.

  If I use the disks, it will wipe your computer completely clean? And how to run?

  Hi web4u,.

  Looks like you have a full recovery 'destructive '. Destructive doesn't mean that it's hurting your PC, rather it means it clears out all data files on your PC and returns your PC back to the State it was when you bought it. Looks like you did a cover of "non-destructive", which means that the software has been restored, but your data files are left intact.

  This is a HP support document that explains how to run a recovery for your PC.

  Let us know how it goes.

• Pavilion p6506f: System Recovery option grayed out when you use the recovery to factory default reset disk

  Dear experts,

  Please help me on what I am making a solution for about 4 hours now...

  Somehow my recovery partition is damaged, so I use the recovery disk that I created when I bought the computer.

  I used the disc to start the computer and after loading files and everything on the menu of Recovery Manager "System Recovery" is grayed out.  Note that I have not changed any hardware on the computer.

  Help, please!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  You did do the right thing. But you created a Win 7 recovery disk, not the game of HP recovery disks.

  You can switch to Win own 10.

  You will need the product key Microsoft of the COA sticker attached to the frame of your PC of 25 characters.

  Images of example COSTS:

  

  Do a clean install of win 10 If you do not know the product key of Windows 7 on the certificate of authenticity.

  Win 7 PC sometimes have problems updating to Win 10.

  I really think you should get support from HP Win 7 recovery. If the Win 10 upgrade fails you can always return Win 7 If you have a Win 7 HP recovery media.

  Your choice.

• Satellite L735 - system recovery impossible

  Hello

  I ordered the DVD from Toshiba system recovery to reinstall my laptop.
  I launched the DVD, it starts the formatting of disks hard, then ERROR! And then nothing! Does anyone have an idea of what is happening and what I need to do? Thank you very much!

  Here is the command messages:
  "unzip the operating system and system/Windows re

  Once I press a key, it gets blanck... gasp! :(
  Thank you for all the advice!

  Have you tried to initiate recovery procedures once more?

  In which case it would not work for the 2nd time, you should get in touch with the supplier of disk (Arvato?) and should again ask disc. I guess the recovery disk is the troublemaker.

• Update Windows 10 and HP System Recovery

  Hey,.

  I plan on moving from Win 7 to 10 to win, but the only thing stopping me is, what happens if I use the HP System Recovery after doing? Considering that it is pre-installed for Win 7 on my system, it will return it Win 7 or what?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Yes, if you are using HP System Recovery, it would reinstall Windows 7, but it is important to note that the ability to do it from the hard disk recovery Partition does not work after upgrade to Windows 10.  You must use your recovery media - if you have not created this, a guide can be found here.

  Another option that you might consider, if you must reinstall Windows 10 once you have upgraded is the following.

  Also long Windows 10A active Ok after upgrading to 7, in the future, you can just perform a new installation of 10 as stated in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select 'I don't have a product key' - 10 Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

• System recovery on Satellite M100 because the reader of CD/DVD not being recognized

  Hello.

  My computer does not not recognize the internal CD/DVD drive (eg. If I go to rip a CD with Media Player, it says to install a CD drive first).

  I followed the frequently asked questions on the Toshiba support page, and it led to to do me a system recovery. I followed the instructions (turn off, start up everything in '0', version 0 now when the computer beeps...) but it does not work.

  The model starts to beep as expected, but when I '0' let it starts just Windows as usual.

  Can anyone help? I do the recovery with a CD instead? Of course, it will be a problem if the drive does not well :(

  Hey man thanks for this info
  This whole thing seems strange, but who cares. It of working and it's important ;)

• Satellite L670 - System recovery media Options

  You can use an external hard drive to copy the image of system recovery? The manual, in the States of the system - creating recovery media recovery:

  "A recovery of the software on your computer image is stored on the hard drive and can be copied onto DVD or USB Flash Memory using the following steps:"
  1. Select Virgin DVD or USB Flash Memory.
  The application will allow you to choose from a variety of different media on which the recovery image can be copied, including DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD - RW, DVD + R, DVD + R DL, DVD + RW and USB Flash Memory. »

  There is no mention of being able to copy on an external hard drive.

  Hello

  This copy of the word is bad. What you create is bootable image stored on DVD or USB. Copy of data simply isn't possible, because later you will not be able to access and start the recovery image installation.

  Best option for you is:
  Create DVDs of recovery using preinstalled Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool. This disc, that you can use for installing the OS, whenever you want. I recommend you use DVD-R media.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• NB500 - I can't do the system recovery

  Hello

  I got a nb500 Windows 7 starter and I cannot do a system recovery out-of-the-box.

  I tried "press 0 and power", the pc starts, but as long as I continue to press 0 nothing happens. When I release, it will continue to boot normally into windows. Also tried with f8, I can see the system recovery options, but there is no tool for HARD drive recovery there. I also used a toshiba recovery media Creator called program but when I start, it displays a message «there is no area of hard drive recovery»

  Any suggestions please?

  For some reason any there there no initial access to the recovery image.

  Either it is deleted or the partitions of HARD drive structure is changed and recovery tool cannot find the settings for the recovery image.
  Now, you have little problem. Recovery image installation will not work.

  You have two options:
  1 / you can try to install recovery disc original order of Toshiba - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
  2 / you can install own OS version

  All readers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from the Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

• Re: Equium L40 - 14 l - System recovery option missing

  Hi all

  I have an Equium l40 14l that I finally decided needs to be restored "out of the box" status.

  I can boot to the system recovery options page, but the widely mentioned drive HARD recovery option has been replaced by the option system restore of full Windows OS.
  When I choose it is telling me that is preinstalled files are damaged you can use the recovery dvd - rom product. All I can do is click OK and return to the previous screen.

  I ran a few software partitioning and the hidden partition appears. I don't have a disc of recovery with the machine as she had the hidden restore partition.

  I don't have a backup when I first booted the machine. I think now that it was a good idea, but as I thought I had the hidden partition to rely on I don't bother.

  Ideas if there is a way I can get the system recovery to display HARD drive recovery option?

  Thank you Tom

  Cool. Glad to hear this. Now you can remove all the stuff, you don't need and optimize the preinstalled recovery image.

  Good luck.

• Loop system recovery options

  This morning Satellite 100 my wife running Windows Vista itself got in a loop of the system, with absolutely no discernible way out recovery. I have so for you guys to see if anyone has had the same problem.

  First of all, the system stops (battery problem). It restarted, he and the Vista loading got a message box with the "System Recovery Options" section, just an OK button and the message "Cannot load this program click OK to restart" or something to that effect. Something off the machine.
  I tried F8 at startup upwards and all options in the recovery (including repair system tools) menu restart Vista and get the same message.
  I've searched the Toshiba support site and found nothing.

  I have a disc of recovery but that would reformat the hard drive and it has a lot of things not saved.
  I suspect it's to go into Recovery Mode and find a disk on the "hidden" partition error So, I just want to stop making so that I can start the machine and backup files. Any ideas?

  Hey Buddy,

  You can start Windows in safe mode?

  I think in the worst case it s necessary to reinstall Windows if it doesn t start more. I mean there is nothing you can do

  I m wondering that you didn't make a backup of the important files, you can save if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. Then you can connect to another computer and make a backup before reinstalling Windows.

• Re: How can I return the system recovery partition?

  I just used the cd to restore the system and on resetting my system to factory setting, but unfortunately, the system drive on the system recovery partition has been deleted.

  How will re - install the drive to restore system partition?

  Hello

  Do you mean the second Vista partition which contains the backup system files?

  This partition is hidden and usually after installing the OS from the Toshiba Recovery disk this partition must be re-created.

  I m 100% sure because I ve got my cell several times using the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs and the hidden partition is created every time.

  Best regards
