HP ProBook 430 G3: USB recovery enough?

Hello!

I have a HP ProBook 430 G3 with Windows 7. I think install Ubuntu LTS 16.04 and wipe the drive completely in the process, including the recovery partition. If I for some reason any later wanting to 'factory reset' laptop / reinstall Windows 7, a USB key with recovery media will be sufficient to insert and boot from?

My thoughts are to use "Create recovery media" in "HP Recovery Manager' to create the USB said. Is it enough to get the laptop to factory condition?

Any help is appreciated!

Hello:

Yes, it's normal procedure to recover the PC when there is no recovery partition, or you replace the hard drive.

You can also order HP recovery media if the recovery USB disk that you create does not work.

In the USA/Canada the number to dial is: 1-800-334-5144.

Have the serial number of the PC handy to give to the customer service rep.

If your laptop is still under warranty, HP can send you free of charge for you recovery disks, then you can just see if you can order a set for free while you can.

  • Yet when can WT8 - A - I create a USB recovery?

    Hello.

    A newbie here and must I say, I had a heck of a job, find the button 'open a new topic '.
    I only found it by chance which has landed on the right page.
    Anyway, back to my request.

    I always have a brand new Toshiba WT8A still in the box.
    Here another must be told.

    I had possession of this unit about a week ago and to cut a long story short, at the suggestion of a drop-down notification of Toshiba I downloaded and installed a BIOS update, it went well.

    I was then advised to download and install the update of the installer of Intel. It went well until to half way through and then everything froze, the screen went black and stayed like that for over half an hour or two. When it looked like not commissioning again I tried to start it by pressing the power button on the side, but instead of putting on and working, I got a nasty blue screen informing me that Bitlock had locked my tablet... I panicked!

    In my desperation, I have absolutely violated the internet solution to notice that the only solution was to recover the operating system, but the problem was that I didn't have a USB recovery.

    I was lucky that Toshiba was kind enough to take possession of the mortared Tablet and restored the device to its factory for me.

    So you can see a USB recovery is essential, but the question, at what point can I create them as we know that as soon as you begin to configure things, are supported by internet downloads and everything screams it must be updated and you are bombarded.

    To be honest, I'm terrified to BitLock upward again. The irony is that I was not anywhere near BitLock that I know about in its use or its application, but from what I've gleaned, it seems the update Intel had invoked the locking identify what he perceived as a potential problem after that the BIOS updated... or so it has been suggested.

    I'll start another post with questions about the BitLock, for now, it is a question of recovery USB and welcome all responses. Do I get messages when a response has been added because I see not a checkbox to request this service. ?

    Concerning

    Recovery must be created initially in the best cases after the Tablet has been configured.
    The recovery media contains the image of Toshiba, but the recovery media won't back up your current data or setting. It's very important.

    Leash so assume you got you filed using this Toshiba recovery procedure.
    After this recovery process the tablet will be set to factory settings to the same State as the first date of purchase

    Hope I could clarify this issue.

  • HP probook 430 g1 with a SSD update

    Hi all.

    I'll be updating my HP Probook 430 G1 with a 512 GB SSD (in fact is 512 HDD with W7 64 professional); Web sites of many factory SSD show the compatibility of their products with my laptop, but Manual HP said that the capacity of the SSD is 128 GB. The cat with the HP support was not helpful. Can someone help me: can I put with 512 gB SDD? I put divers or chipset to AHCI storage level?

    Thank you

    The 128 GB 2.5 inch SSD was just the biggest HP offered to sell the plant. If your laptop has a 2.5-inch SATA drive (some of them operate entirely off small mSATA WSSD readers) then you can replace it with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD of any size on the market. You will not have to pay anything in the BIOS. Your best way to upgrade is to clone the existing for the SSD drive. This should be easy, because they will be very close to the same size. You will need an adapter usb to SATA, but you probably want to get an ayway to continue using the HARD original as external storage drive.

    I use Acronis 2014 Home Edition, but there are several other cloning there, some of them open-source (free). Windows 7 cloning on 2 hard drives of the same size is on the clone easier you will find.

  • HP 15 F018dx: Using a HP USB recovery on other models

    If I order a recovery usb Windows 8.1 HP for a specific model laptop... is it possible to also use this USB recovery for an additional HP laptop computer that is the same model or a model different recent HP that originally came with Windows 8.1? Thank you.

    Hello:

    If you order a usb for Windows 8.1 HP for laptop model specific recovery, it will work on another of the same model.

    It will not work on any other HP PC.

    The recovery media checks the BIOS and other unique identifiers, and if they do not gather, and then exit the Setup.

    He'll even specific enough... as to my own situation... I replaced the Broadcom wireless card in my G1 of 350 HP with an Intel card (which is not available on the 350 G1), and the recovery process is gone until the end, then he erroneous reports that there is no driver found for the wireless card, recovery failed.

    I assumed he would recover the laptop, and I could just install the Intel wireless driver.  No dice.

  • HP Probook 430 G1 won't work without charger

    Hello!

    I have a HP Probook 430 G1, which is about 1.5 years old. All of a sudden it won't work without the charger plugged. If I leave the charger, it immediately stops and will not start until I plug it again.

    A few days ago my computer would go hours without charging me.

    My computer detects the battery and it's 97% charged.

    Batterycheck HP said that my battery capasity of 42% of what it had when it was new.

    What is the problem? Do I have to buy a new battery?

    42% of what it was to have should be enough to make him stop not immediately after I unplug the charger.

    It seems that the battery died then. IF you have a bad cell, but others are fully charged, reported its possible to get a full charge. You can't really test it properly with the adapter plugged.

    IF Windows is record that the battery in the tool bar, can you draw everything plugged and it shows that the battery is out? IF Yes, then you know that the mobo circuitry does its job.

    If I understand correctly, is not a good idea to fully charge a battery at 100%, nor let him down until the laptop shut. You can set this in your Bios does not load 100%.

    You can do this if you get a new battery.

    Just my 2 cents.

    It will be useful.

  • Satellite T130 - Toshiba create USB recovery

    Hello.

    This is the situation:

    I have laptop Toshiba T130 with no DVD player. After installing Win7, I shrunk the partition D tool in Win7 and used the free space to install Linux with GRUB. Then I shrunk the partition also C by Win7 tool and free space to create another. This however told me something about the dynamic disk or something...

    But he has somehow broken GRUB so I decided to reinstall Linux. But the scores have been somehow broken, but I installed Linux on the last partition. Since then I could not start Windows or repair because partition D has actually been removed!
    The C with Win7 partition seemed intact.

    Trying to fix the computer and try to start trouble, I got error 0 x 090 or something with partition table error. So therefore, I deliberately decided to create the new partition with Gparted that off my HARD drive. Then I put in place the new partitions: 3 x NTFS, (400 MB recovery, partition Win7 and another) + extended partition containing the NTFS partition + ext4 partition, swap.

    Then I copied the hidden files (that I had saved earlier) in a hidden partition on the HDD laptop + I copied folder of Toshiba 3rd NTFS partition recovery (I had backed up the files immediately after obtaining of the laptop).

    Now, I'm stuck with 0xc000000e error when you try to start. I also followed this thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=53952&tstart=15

    Can you help me with Win7 Starter? And what program to use to make Win7 64 bit USB bootable recovery CD? I tried unetbootin and USB, but they did not...

    Any advice will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you very much!

    Oh mann what are you do is incredible. ;)
    The entire structure of the HARD disk is now screwed upward. I m just wondering why you did that on this small Satellite T130.
    I mean it's OK all what are you do and you can do what you want with your machine, but my personal opinion is you're wrong for laptop for all of this.

    Satellite T130 is small ultra portable laptop designed to offer the maximum of mobility and offer long battery life, when you are out of office or travel through. So I think that the most important thing for this laptop is well installed and configured the operating system that runs stabile and with the minimum of consumption of energy. This laptop doesn t have the optical disk drive and the overall situation is more complicated if the factory settings are changed.

    You now have on the HARD drive is nothing but the jungle and to me, it seems pretty confusing.
    If you checked s user manuals document you can find the exact explanation, what can be done with the recovery image saved on the second partition and what type of recovery media can be created.

    Recovery image is not designed for use with third-party applications part so it can be problematic to create USB recovery drive.
    Thread you link posted is better thread on this topic and if this will not help I really don't know what you can, except for ordering original Toshiba recovery DVD and make the installation of OS to get the factory settings again.

  • ProBook 430 G2, touchpad pointer freezes randomly

    Product: Probook 430 G2

    System: WIN7 pro. 64 bit

    Dear HP

    I bought a probook 2 weeks ago and the touchpad randomly freeze when I use my laptop

    I tried the synaptics driver version 17.0.18.8, 18.1.8.1 and 18.1.15, all versions have the same problem

    Sometimes the cursor freeze, sometimes the cursor moving around and out of control

    Sometimes the touchpad detect I multitouch even when I'm only using one finger

    is it possible a HW fault? or just a driver problem?

    any suggestion to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Looks like a hardware problem, but you can try to use the touchpad in safe mode (to enter use key F8 safe mode) and check if it works fine, if you encounter the same problem in safe mode then it's a hardware problem and in this case I suggest you get the machine.

  • Satellite L300-13 s - USB recovery instead of recovery DVD discs?

    Hello

    Well, for the first time in 8 years I had to do a system recovery using the disks that I created when I bought my l300-13s using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
    I had inadvertently deleted the HARD drive recovery partition when I decided to make a clone with a larger HARD drive.

    What I want to know is instead of making recovery discs DVD can only do a USB key recovery?

    Thank you

    Peter.

    When you open Toshiba Recovery Media Creator you can see media options that can be created. I m not 100% sure, but I think that the old L300 there was possibility of recovery DVD only so I think that you cannot create USB recovery.
