I asked before getting a set of recovery discs and how much for my HP Pavilion a6863w!

Hi, I asked for a set of recovery disc for my HP Pavilion a6863w. He was answered, and have provided a link where to get the recovery disks. However, I was wondering if there was a set of upgrade of these recovery disks that has windows 7 or even 8 windows also. I don't know if it's possible, but I'd rather have atlkeast of windows 7 since hp is obsolete and my HP has Vista but Vista is next on the chopping block to be supported and eventually dropped. Any help and suggestions are welcome. Thank you

Hello

Sorry, you can get a HP Win 7 set for your PC recovery disc because it comes with Vista, as the preinstalled operating system.

Win Vista is supported extended until April 2017. Win 7 is covered until January 2020.

You will need to purchase an install of Win 7 OEM supplier online disc.

Jaco.

  • Recovery discs and product keys?

    My laptop came with no recovery disc and began to play up if I want to erase everything and leave. The disks of backup that have been made are only records do not and do not let me recover the system. Can I use a disc of recovery from another PC, but enter the product key for the laptop? My two machines running Vista Home premium. The disc of recovery for a Dell desk top and my laptop is a Sony. Is it still possible to interchange the recovery discs? I have to download different drivers for the laptop before you erase the hard drive? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. Gary.

    Hello

    Sorry, but you cannot use a recovery disk on a Sony Dell.

    This applies to all of the different brands.

    And if you have problems with the backup disks you made, read this information toreinstall Vista:

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • How to recover my computer to factory settings? How to buy recovery discs and which ones?

    I recently bought a used computer on craigslist.  It's a HP Pavilion a6700f.  He came originally with Vista, but the previous owner installed Windows 7 32 on it.  I want to put it back to factory settings, but I can't seem to do it without the recovery disks, which I did not.  I have tried F11 at startup, but the system recovery won't be open in this way for a reason any.  I tried to buy HP recovery disks, but they only for Windows Vista 64-bit.  I'm not sure if my computer came with Vista 64 bit or -34, although she has 34 bit Windows 7 right now.  How can I recover the computer to factory settings?  Can I buy the Vista 64-bit recovery discs and use them?  Will they work?  Thank you.

    The command system will work for you given that provide you the product id of your machine. Please use the following link, it should tell you that the original operating system:

  • Why am I being asked to do another set of recovery disks?

    I made the one and only set of recovery disks, following the instructions.

    Now, I get an alert in HP Advisor instucting me to make recovery disks.

    Why would I receive this alert?

    P8, it sounds to me like HP Advisor did not get the message. I would try to make the disks again to see what happens.  If it lets you do, HP Advisor should be satisfied.  If this isn't the case, maybe that will satisfy HPA, also.

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to make the recovery disk/s of the recovery Partition in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, about what you are up and running again.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  • Can I delete my recovery disc and create a new? (HP Envy ko25dx m6)

    Hi, I have a HP envy ko25dx m6 that I had a few problems of Windows 8 upgrade to 8.1. I was stuck at a black screen at startup upward. I had to contact the HP support by phone and they ended up sending me a flash drive with the recovery factory data. When I went through the process of getting my computer working again, one of the steps set to the recovery on the D: drive partition to store the data of the flash player in order to proceed. I ended the process and return my computer to Windows 8. After finishing, I now have a problem. By clicking on file Explorer, D: drive shows that almost complete, but when I click on it to view the files, he said "this folder is empty". When I go into computer management-storage-disk management, I have 2 recovery drive D: of. a watch NTFS file system, while the other has a white and they are both free 11% (89% full). There are also 3 other volumes without a name; 2 have a status of "healthy (recovery partition)" and 1 has a status of "healthy (EFI system recovery). These volumes without a name are a total of 1 100 MB (1.1 GB) and they are all 100% free. The only thing that shows when I right click all these volumes, D is help and when I click that, without a name, it is in fact, not useful. When I right-click the C: drive, it shows: open, to explore, to mark the partition as active, etcetera... Is it possible for me to access and return the volumes not named in C:? And is there a way for me to delete the data on the D: drive and recreate the data of recovery from this point?  A week ago I tried the upgrade from 8 to 8.1. During the process, it was recommended I have create a collection set but was unable to do so because of the saturated D: drive and the fact that I didn't have a pretty great to external storage. I decided to update the drivers and go forward without creating recovery series or by creating a large enough volume of space I have on C:. When the computer was made with installation and update of its utmost, it got stuck on a black screen again, this time with the cursor and the ability to access with Ctrl + Alt + Delete Task Manager. I had to use it to manually download drivers Windows 8.1 because it was not possible to do it from 8. 8.1 now works. I keep getting warnings about D: being so full and I understand having a nearly full disk affects the performance of the computer. If more information is needed, please let me know. Thanks for reading, if you haven't done this until now!

    All "readers" you see are part of the factory installation of Windows 8 and HP. The recovery partition is designed to return the computer to a factory State and nothing more. You cannot delete the d: partition "HP Recovery" and re-create an updated recovery image. The following illustration shows the partitions installed at the factory on my 13 HP x 2 Split;

  • Registry is corrupted and my CD/DVD player will not load Windows recovery disc. How can I fix?

    I am posting this from my laptop.

    Whenever I try to start my office, I gives me the options to start windows normally, last good configuration, safe mode, etc. known. None of these work. Upstairs, he asked that I get my Windows restore disk, reboot and repair. Well, that works either, because I was not able to load ANY media on my computer for a while now. I don't know how it happened, but since I have never really used the CD for nothing, I paid little attention to her. Now, I'm screwed. I can do to fix this without having to replace anything?
