Incompatible recovery disc with my computer model.

I have HP Pavilion Notebook dv9074ea. Windows Home Edition SP 3. I just burn two DVD recovery. When I started with the #1 recovery disk, I got the message: this recovery CD is not compatible with your model of computer (paraphrase - my OS is Norwegian). I am very proud of my computers altruism because its creating discs for other recovery models computer, but it is very frustrating for me to be the owner of this particular model.

One thing struck me as odd however: he says that this 'CD' is not compatible, even if it's a DVD.

Is this a common problem? Do I have to burn the CD 12 instead of 2 DVDs? (wait, I can't burn a new version, it is a time thing)

Thank you

Hey, thanks for the reply =) I'm not very tech savvy - has not been able to enter a menu of F1. BUT, I think you're right on the motherboard. I never made the connection, but last year my computer was being repaired (an affiliation of the dealer, nothing to do with HP I think). They changed the motherboard, but didn't touch anything else. My computer is pretty old, so I think that they didn't have my motherboard type and probably replaced by a new one. Who would solve why my drives do not work?

Is there a way to do my recovery program to know that my motherboard has changed? Or download a new program of recovery for my motherboard type?

Usually, replacement motherboards do not have the necessary bios 'tattoo', Yes, this will prevent the work recovery disks.

HP is the only one who can set the bios tattoo unfortunately.

  • How to create a recovery disc with all vista updates?

    original title: how to create a recovery disc with all vista updates without starting from scratch, so I can replace my hard drive?

    My hard drive seems to be dying.  I would replace the drive.  I reloaded vista from scratch with all the updates, but it took forever.  I would like to make a record of recovery with all updates.  IAM on vista Home premium.  32 bit

    If you want a good backup program that backups image, I recommend Acronis True Image 2010:http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/.  It offers a free trial, so you can test and if you want it's only about $30 for the original version.  A lot of people I know this program and use it instead of Vista even in versions of Vista that offers imagery as this program does a better job.  Of course you also need a place to put the backup (which will take a lot of space), so also consider.  The best choice would be a USB external hard drive at least as large as the readers you want to back up (not only the data on them, but the entire available disk space, so you miss when you add more information about the disks).

    You cannot use IMGBURN do - it can't do anything like that.  It must be the imagery of backup software.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • HP Pavillion DV-7? Nr can a recovery disc in the Blu - Ray drive and reinstall original settings?

    After my sister died, I found his nearly new laptop (HP Pavilion DV7? nr), but have not been able to use it, because of password and a biometric scanner. It sounds like a nice laptop, but worthless if I can't use it. Any Suggestions for one-it-myselfer (cheap)?
    A recovery disk can be inserted into the Blu - Ray player and re - install the original settings?
    There were not any software who carried on this laptop, so I don't know if she had, originally, and if it would work as does my drive recovery for my old HP Pavilion laptop using Vista.

    Restore the PC to its original state with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not accessible

      NOTE: by pressing the f11 key during startup on a computer with an image factory HP will start the system recovery process, even if the message is not displayed.

      • If the HP Recovery Manager can access the recovery on the hard drive partition, you receive a to back up user files before you start the recovery prompt. Follow the instructions.
      • If the HP Recovery Manager cannot access the hard disk to resolve system errors, you need to use the recovery disk custom that you created to recover the hard disk to its original state.
      • If you have not created the custom recovery disk, or disks are damaged, you can order a replacement of HP recovery CD.

    Maybe this article:
    http://www.ZDNet.com/blog/Bott/lost-your-Windows-discs-how-to-get-replacement-media-legally/4320

    HP has a simple recovery process, and its policy to provide filtering alternatives is well integrated in its support pages.

    I went through the process of replacing for a two-year-old HP Pavilion Elite m9600t. This system was built in the summer 2009, before Windows 7 shipped. As a result, my only option was to support Windows Vista 64-bit. For first class mail, HP shipping or taxes added up to $15.80. (I might have updated 2-day or night FedEx delivery for another $6 or $12, respectively.)

    From this page: HP and Compaq Desktop PC: looking for recovery discs?

    There step by step instructions to create a recovery disc for Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. Also, it offers the possibility to order replacement disks, but warns that these discs may only be available for a limited time:

    If you are unable to create a set of recovery discs, you may be able to order a set of replacement of HP HP discs. maintains an inventory of recovery disks of replacement several years after the product was released. However, due to licensing restrictions, HP is able to provide these recovery disc for a limited time. If the computer is several years after its warranty period, HP isn't maybe able to provide replacement for your computer disks.

    I tried with a model of 2008 HP (long out of warranty) and was able to locate filtering alternatives.

    The process of media control was a little confused. The key is to start with the appropriate model number, then click on software and driver downloads, as shown here:

    On the next page, you are prompted to select an operating system. The support link to recovery in the results list is available only if you select the version of Windows that your computer initially comes with. If you do not see a section "Recovery media", HP suggest "to ensure that you are on the right model number page and select another operating system." It worked for me.

    Interestingly, the last section on the page is titled "finding of the recovery disks from other Web sites. It contains a warning at the top in bold: try all other options in the paper support before attempting to order recovery disks at outside HP.

    If HP is further providing the recovery disc for your computer model and is no longer possible to create a recovery disk, you may be able to find a solution outside of HP.

    Popular online auction sites and providers of computer parts may have a part in stock original recovery disk. However, be cautious and aware of the risks when buying from a source outside of HP recovery disks. Beware of sites that offer recovery solutions when they are not affiliated with HP.

    Even if HP could not have a recovery disc available for purchase of value, search the part HP command Web site to find recovery kit part number that corresponds to your computer. Once you find the part number of the recovery disc, use the number in your search for best results.

    It's actually good advice. If you can find a part number, you may be able to find records of replacement from a legitimate outside vendor that specializes in parts for the models of the manufacturer of your PC.

  • recovery disc will work with the new hard drive

  • Compaq presario owner, who lost recovery discs

    Hi, a friend who bought a new v2000 Compaq Presario back in 2005/6 should reinstall its OS XP home.  He has no recollection of any recovery disks and there is no partition recovery using F don't numbers ect.  I said maybe we could buy a new copy of XP home on ebay however, the number of sticker COSTS on the back of his laptop computer also appears in the BIOS, before spend us money on a drive someone can confirm that it will work on the assumption that the seller provides us with a COA sticker and license number?

    We tried HP/Compaq and they use now a third party (best2serve?) to solve questions of guarantee such as recovery discs, despite the many requests for assistance so that their web site seems to just be dead in the water.  My friend is willing to pay for drives but does not have to be from his pocket a copy of mickey mouse that is missed, it is not the kind of guy who wants to be illegal ect, any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

  • Factory.wim file in the recovery disc

    There is a 4 GB file on my recovery disk named factory.wim, which I cannot open.  I also get error messages stating that my recovery disk is almost full.  What is this file, it belongs there, and if not, where should I put it?  In addition, a nearly full recovery disc cause my computer to slow down?  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista Home Premium, aged for only 4 months.  Thanks for any information anyone can provide.

    Jillcee,
    Just to add to the excellent advice of Michael to keep your D: partition as it came from the factory - it is for recovery in case your system never breaks down and needs to be completely rebuilt from scratch.  To answer your question, the file named Factory.wim is the recovery file main that came on your computer and contains information necessary to rebuild your PC if necessary.  Do not delete it under any circumstances.  You can delete all the files that you have saved on the D: partition because they shouldn't be there.  You should back up your data to an external hard drive, a second hard drive internal physically separate, CD, DVD, or USB key.

    Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

  • Create a system recovery disc?

    Hello

    My girlfriend just got a Probook new 6460 b (what she ordered to hp.com) with Win7 Pro and she wants to create a system for her recovery disk.  We have been able to make a 'system' repair disc, we found it under start > Maintenance, but I am sure that this is not a complete system recovery disk.  I found the following link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01895783 . But his computer does not appear to have installed the HP Recovery Manager.  She also received no recovery discs.

    How can we get the recovery disc for this computer?

    Thank you!

    None of the professional laptop computers come with a recovery CD set more

    Anyway, if you live in the United States or the Canada, here's how to get a set of restore for your PC disks:

    1. Enter the reference number and the serial no on the underside of the computer on the tag.

    2. call HP at 1-800-952-7689, option 1 (ranking in the list in the option made restore disks).

    3. provide the information asked by the representative who answers the phone.

    4. do you have a Master Card or Visa ready for purchase. They do not take discover. I believe that you will be charged $10.00.

    You will receive the discs by first class mail, or you can pay an additional $10.00 for shipping FedEx.

    Alternatively, you should be able to Access Manager (dvds aren't needed) recovery with a F11 key at startup

    To do this, just restart it, to the hp bios screen, press f11 and select recovery

  • Recovery disc for HP Pavilion dv6-1245dx

    Hello

    Recently my hard drive crashed on my HP pavilion dv6-1245dx running Windows 7 (64-bit). I bought a new hard drive, but I don't have a recovery disc for my Windows 7 64-bit operating system course. I tried to look in the Support & drivers of order recovery disks, but they offer only disks of Vista. How can I get the recovery disc for my computer? The warranty on this computer is exhausted.

    Hello:

    Product for your laptop specifications indicate that it comes with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

    What is the version of the Microsoft Windows product key sticker on the bottom of your laptop?

    If it is Vista, you will need to order a set of recovery disks Vista.

    If you have the product key 25 character Windows 7 64 bit you can make your own regular installation of W7 media and allows to install W7.

    Here is how to do this if you have the product key for W7...

    Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a DVD or a 4 GB flash drive using the USB compilation method.

    Use the product key of windows 7 of 25 characters to activate your installation.

    http://download.CNET.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-download-tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below. Download the Windows 7 version that is on your product (Home Premium, professional or ultimate) key to apply.
