• Impossible to reinstall windows after having disinfected disc

  Hello experts,

  I ran the disk on an elitebook8470p Sanitizer. She completed successfully, wiping everything as planned.

  Now I am trying to reinstall windows 7, using the "windows repair disc" I created with the hp utility.

  Problem is, there is no option to install windows 7.

  Just a bunch of options to repair, diagnose or reinstall from an image (but it has not listed to choose from images).

  Don't I have the wrong disc?

  Can someone share a list of steps to follow after disinfection drive contest?

  Thank you

  Hello

  The repair disk you mention does not contain the files to reinstall Windows 7, it simply provides a way to access recovery and diagnostic option etc.

  There are two options available.

  1. you can order the HP operating system recovery disc.

  Contact HP.

  2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc you using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( that must be the same version that originally came with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a very respected source (Digital River).

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• Re-install Windows 7 using recovery media (DVD)

  Laptop: HP-430 Notebook

  OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)

  HARD DRIVE: THE 298 GB

  When I bought recently my laptop HP-430, I partitioned new HARD drive using some other third party software. I created an additional partition (M:\). Here's the info, how I've repartitioned...

  C:\ - 100 GB (changed from 284 GB to 100 GB).

  D:\ - have not made any changes.

  M:\ - 184 GB (created a drive by myself).

  Then after a few days of testing purpose I thought using the Recovery Manager. So I run the Setup and chose the first option (System Restore) who says he will only reformat the drive (C:\) system and will not issue any other HARD disk changes. But to my surprise it deleted/reformatted the HARD full disc, and I lost all my documents, music, photos and all my important files, I recorded/saved on M:\ (that I had created...)

  Can someone tell me why the hack happened...?

  So now, next point. After that the Recovery Manager has restored the operating system, I repartitioned again, but this time with the Windows disk management tool. But the Windows disk management does not shrink (resize) the C:\(Systemdrive) of less than 150 GB. So I resized C:\ to 150 GB of GB 284 and created a player more (M:\) 147 GB size. And I deleted the recovery disc (D:\), but I created the recovery DVD before you remove the Recoevery of my HARD disk drive.

  Now its time for me to reinstall Windows 7 using recovery media, I messed with some system files when installing a theme for Windows 7 and now my OS is completely unstable. So now I want to reinstall windows 7, but I do not understand what option selected in the Recovery Manager (when run from Recovery DVD)

  Options displayed in the Recovery Manager

  1 collect using Microsoft Recovery

  2 recovery system (the option that I had chosen for the first time and got all the stuff removed)... He said that he only reinstalls the OS and custom make any other change of HARD drive.

  3 minimized Image Recovery

  4. factory Reset.

  So now my question to you guys, it's what option do I have selected in the Recovery Manager so that all my saved content and my stuff on M:\ (I created) will not be removed... and the operating system is reinstalled.

  PLIZZZZZ HELPPPPPPPPPPPP...

  Hello

  I don't think that all the disk recovery options will keep your partition custom - as far as I know, the only time where you will receive a prompt to keep a custom partition when you use the option "Recovery of Image is reduced to a minimum" to the recovery Partition D that you deleted.

  You can try the following workaround.

  Download the good Image of disk Windows 7 from the link below: it must be exactly the same version your OEM Setup - that is to say if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to the version, you must download.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

  Use the disk that you create to perform the installation - when you get to the option to choose the installation type, choose custom and select the C partition.

  When asked, enter the activation key Windows located on the underside of your laptop, then when the installation is complete use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just that a new installation of Windows 7 without software load additional normally bundled with OEM installations.

• It is possible to reinstall Windows 7 using the Windows 10 software, in which I would buy and use?

  Hello

  Recently, my computer has not been doing any internet access and I thought to reinstall Windows 7.

  So I have two questions:

  No, Windows 7 and Windows 10 require unique product keys and their respective installation files.

  If I decide to buy online, some say it's downloadable, how can I reinstall it without using a CD?

  Windows 10 is available as a digital download:

  Buy Windows 10 family/professional edition

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

• Cannot retrieve Windows 8.1 recovery disc

  Hello

  I have a laptop Windows 8.1 (recovery discs are for Windows 8, see detail in image 1).

  My computer mouse laptop left click suddenly began to act as a right-click, the computer froze and started to make a noise, and when I restarted using the power button it got stuck in the loop of auto repair. I tried all options in F8, F9, F10 and nothing has worked. I did a disk check by pressing F2, and then it failed (see picture 2).

  Following this I used my recovery discs and I got the message - destination not connected drive (see image 3).

  Is my hard drive corrupted and need to be replaced? I'm in the United Kingdom, but I bought the laptop in India.

  Also, if I am able to use the recovery discs, I get W8 and not W8.1, which is what I had. How can I recover to W8.1 directly?

  Thank you

  Hello. I don't know where to start.

  System Info-

  HP Pavilion Notebook g6t-2200

  Windows 8 (64-bit)

  It comes to my sisters computer. His system was slow, so I had to reinstall the OS using the recovery media that I ordered for the system. Ive reinstalled the operating systems for computers muliple since Windows 2000.

  I had 3 discs entitled - System Recovery DVD Windows 8 Recovery Media for Windows 8 products.

  and 1 Application and Driver Recovery DVD.

  I started the PC, Went in the UEFI (BIOS) and changed the Boot Options in the CD - DVD drive, insert the disc 1 and rebooted

  The Recovery Manager Loaded and start the Image Factory reset.

  I have inserted all 3 CD when you are prompted during the "reformat the Windows Partition of the hard disk", "copy the files required to restore the hard drive" and "restore the files to the hard drive.

  I said that if I got any additional recovery CD insert them now. I had this Application and Driver Recovery DVD, but it has not inserted and has chosen to ignore, because of the fact that the CD has not come in the same sheath as others.

  The PC rebooted and went through a setup process and several reboots. After all this, the PC has restarted and told me that the recovery has NOT. It gave me the opportunity to start again, or create a dump file.

  I am at a loss, should I have used the disc when prompted? Any help would be nice = D

  Laptop crashed and I am forced to reinstall windows using the recovery CD.

I press C, and then immediately restart the laptop and begins the process of starting from the CD again and begin the installation again, its a never ending cycle.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  I agree with James. You suggested that your laptop has crashed. I guess that's the HARD disk head crash. In this case, there is nothing to see. The HARD drive is dead and you need a new.
  What you can do is to check the BIOS if the disc is recognized correctly.

• Pavilion 20-b313w: HP Pavilion 20-b313w reset and reinstall with the full recovery disc

  I tried to remove malware from my system so long, so I decided to do a complete reset. Before I have it I order the recovery for my computer disk to reinstall but unfortunately reinstall option disc never came. The recovery partition has been used to reinstall so my computer. I think my computer is still infected because it is in the partition. And because after the reset there are 3 programs in the control panel to uninstall the list of programs that have been updated without an internet connection because I unplugged my computer to the modem during the reset process everything and I am 100% sure that I have not reconnect before seeing these programs. Also, list of updates installed on the Control Panel showed that the 3 programs had updates installed. As these data are still on my system please tell me it is possible for me to do a true thorough reset that removes hard disk and recovery partition then and I can reinstall everything with the HP recovery discs. And please also give advice on the update after. Should I do Windows updates first or updates of HP first. And when it comes to updating the BIOS there are 3 available updates. Can I download and install all 3 starting from the oldest to newest or just the new version? Then when my Windows 8 is fully updated with the HP and Windows tips on how to reinstall Windows 8.1 (free update of Windows Store, no disc) and update? I know I'm asking a lot, but I want to just make sure I do this right so I can enjoy my computer again and if there is a problem, I'll have some kind of reference to look to see where I was wrong. Thanks to all who read this and I am particularly grateful to those who take the time to share their knowledge with me in response.

  Thank you for the additional information.

  Your best option is to use the recovery media that you should have made when you purchased the computer.  If you do not do this, the only other option you have is to buy the media at HP.  The recovery media will restore your computer to its original configuration and reinstall the recovery partition.
