• HP Pavilion g6-2298nr: when HP Recovery is not available... the system using Windows 8 as image backup?

  I would like to start with a big shout out to Paul T for his VERY useful thread here!

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/Windows-8-product-key-for-pavil...

  Family of a friend asked me to work on their laptop, because I know more about computers they do... they are people very well, was happy to help out, but true to form, like many PC users, they did not bother keeping the documentation provided with the laptop (HP Pavilion g6-2298nr), or they bother to burn recovery using HP DVD built in recovery software which is comes standard on laptops... If I am interpreting what HP's Web Site had to say about the laptop model HP Pavilion g6-2298nr, correctly, she is the serial number it is no longer eligible for free technical support and I have to pay a fee just to talk to someone and to order recovery of the HP DVD (family friend bought in Dec 2014 so it seems REALLY odd that I wouldn't be able to just order) DVD recovery without having to pay tech support a tax just to ask to order the recovery DVD!  .. But anyway...) ...

  Where was the product key "integrated" in the BIOS really comes in handy!   I crossed my fingers, used the method mentioned in the thread linked above, and it worked!   ... have to admit it was a bit strange at first, do not use the product key sticker like the old days, but I can see how it works better in the long term - helps prevent piracy, you don't have to worry if someone who do not realize the importance of product keys thumbnail it takes off and he throws...

  Unfortunately, it seems that when you reinstall Windows in this way, you lose the HP Backup and Recovery program ... in this case my friend family had the misfortune to pay someone to repair this laptop which has not bothered to tell them "Hey, I replaced the hard drive that goes wrong but if you don't get a laptop cooler for this sucker to the laptop just going to overheat again." ... of course, the money they paid what we call 'tech technician' who went down draining when the laptop fried a second drive hard, or maybe the tech them faced with a bad hard drive, who knows? (technology bought a hard drive OEM off ebay)...

  ... Sorry to sound harsh about this type of technology, I must confess I only worked in the field of PC repair for a few months more than a decade before letting him make a stay-at-home-dad (wife is a pharmacist so I'm lucky enough to be able to stay at home) so my experience is VERY limited compared to other people... but the back then I have always treated my customers the way I would treat a friend , and if it's a friend of you offer advice on the prevention of such problems in the future... this laptop gets HOT like you wouldn't, I seated him on a very reliable laptop cooler (slab thickness of aluminium which does a great job as a radiator with the fans, this one)

  "(and I left my friend's family know in no uncertain terms that they need to order this laptop cooler if they use this laptop...).

  Replace hard drive, I installed seems to work very well, but of course it is not an "official WD hard drive"... when I tried to install the software of cyberdirector photolink for example on the link below, received an error message "this is not a WD hard drive so cannot install this software"...

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-G6-2200-notebook-PC-series/5296082/model...

  that is fine I really don't think my friend family cares about this program... but it makes me wonder, even if I did trust the download at this link below

  http://www.TechSpot.com/downloads/5190-HP-backup-and-Recovery-Manager.html

  If program HP Backup and Recovery manager would work even first because it is not an official hard drive WD (I also ordered a hard drive OEM off ebay .. but does not support the family of my friend for the drive hard because they were good for my munchkins and did not want to pay through the nose for a more expensive hard drive so of course I tried to minimize my own...)... I also think the type of program is based on a "C" and "D" drive is set up as if it were when the laptop comes with the original hard drive and saves a copy of the backup on the disk "D"... I guess I could use disk management to create a different partition, label it "D" and see if HP Backup and Recovery work, but it seems a bit... questionable... not to mention that I feel uncomfortable to download something that is not directly on the HP Web site as an "official"... download

  I know that Windows 8 has a utility of 'image system' built-in that allows you to do exactly that... an image of the system... as I said my friend family is good people, but I'm guessing that sooner or later they're going to screw up this laptop by pulling again as do many users of the computer... it would be nice if I could burn a system image of what is on the laptop now on DVD and hang on, then when they come back to me screaming in the future ' help, laptop does not work yet! I can just restore the system image on DVD instead of having to go through the hassle of reinstalling Windows, graphics/audio/drivers etc., zillion Windows updates and an etc. all over again.

  What I was asking, that is... would this even work?    I have never tried to use the image of the system in a situation like this with the product being key ' built in ' BIOS, this kind of thing is brand new to... worth me burning the DVDs and hung their just in case where?

  Sorry for the long essay and thanks in advance to anyone who actually takes the time to read all this!

  Hello:

  Yes, which makes a system image will work.  I do it all the time.

  PC GE set up the way you want and make the image of the system and the usb drive recovery you'll need access to the system image, or you can use W8 OEM disk made you (via the menu to repair your computer at the bottom left of the screen install Windows when you start from the DVD) to boot from, and access to the system image.

  If you have the DVD you have to more than one.  Probably not less than 4.

  But as much as to try to submeter a recovery partition, which is not going to work.

  I am very surprised that you cannot order a set of recovery discs HP online at the link below, last line labeled order recovery media.  Some people have reported trying to enter information such as the serial number and the link is dead.  But nothing venture nothing have nothing.

• Email informing users be informed of Windows xp recovery

  I received the email after a close friend.

  My question: is it true for declarations etc...

  Thank you

  Hi people:
   
  I just got this message from my computer club in Florida.  Many of these people could be described as experts and I will follow their opinion on it.
   

  This product, WindowsXPRecovery, is extortion-ware, and unlike many of these disbelievers products, it is destructive.  It will hide all of your desktop icons, all your records at ONCE your Start Menu and Explorer discovers.  Even when deleted successfully, the lasting effect is the loss of all your shortcuts in the list of available programs in your Start Menu.

  Please be careful and remember when such a pop-up appears when using any Internet browser product, IMMEDIATELY press Ctrl-Alt-Delete, go to the Applications tab and terminate the offending windows if it has an icon of browser beside him.  Just remember touching the pop-up is enough to install the product and bring you misfortune.  It's called social engineering, and he's smart as it tries to mislead you in its grip.  See below, is one of the images used.

• Impossible to get 2008 Macbook at the start of the recovery of the Internet... help?

  I tried the command + option + R and command-R start-up and restart, but no dice. I'm trying to reinstall Mac OS to give the laptop to a friend. Any tips?

  Hey Sndietzel,

  Thank you for being a part of the communities of Apple Support.

  I understand your message you are trying to boot a MacBook (2008) for OS X Internet Recovery but it is not successful.  This happens because this year and model of Mac does not support the OS X Internet Recovery:

  Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery

  What version of Mac OS X is currently installed? In the menu bar select  > what the Mac and you should see the version of OS X installed.  If she has OS X 10.6.8 or more, then there is no OS X Recovery, and you will need the installation disk OS X, or the disc that came with the computer to erase the disk and reinstall OS X. You will need to insert the disc while the Mac is turned on, and then restart while holding the C key to boot the disk.

  Take care.

• Can I create a recovery bootable USB through disk utility?

  My HARD drive is dying, I can't access my Macintosh HD partition anymore and I can't reinstall OS because I SMART errors. Before the format and reinstall the attempt to load slow my computer, random errors, etc. So I definitely think that the HARD drive is near death. My plan is to replace my HDD for a Virgin SSD, I perform this task several times on computers of the victory but for MAC, I wonder how I will load the new OS. Can I make a bootable USB with the recovery partition, but on a USB key tools? Unofrtunately I have more available Mac to create the USB bootable through itunes.

  My computer is the MacBook Pro (13-inch mid 2010), I have also all original packaging somewhere, if there is a CD that I can use, I certainly can get too.

  Any advice?

  Thank you!

  Apple have this to do a USB installation...

  Create an installer for OS X - Apple support bootable

  Another option is to use the diskmakerx.com application

  You must have the OS installer downloaded to make these methods of work is probably not practice on your failed drive.

  Both of these options are to run a 'normal' operating system too. The recovery partition is not 'normal '.

  Another option is to use the Internet recovery mode if your Mac supports...

  Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support

  On macOS recovery - Apple Support

  Use wired ethernet for best results, since it will download a bootable OS & then download the installer of the OS also.

  I suspect you have the update of the firmware installed to add this feature if it has been updated over the last 3 years

  You may be able to generate a score of alternative recovery to another disk (such as a USB key) If you want to just "compensation of base OS.

  OS X: on Recovery Disk Wizard - Apple Support

  A last solution would be to clone your drive failing on an external drive (or use the new SSD in a proper case). That can be done in the modes of recovery via disk utility. Basically, you use a feature to "restore" to clone one volume to another. (I don't see clear instructions for the moment so ask if you want to pursue this option).

• Corrupted data recovery water Iphone 6

  We know anyway to get data of an Iphone that does not turn on?

  I am desperate to get my photos from my broken phone and a loan to pay for it, but I do not know if everyone can do?

  The photos I want are not saved on icloud to bring from the phone itself are the only way.

  However, it was damaged more than a month there are water and did not put in operation since

  Thank you

  The bottom line is not. You can pay a ton of money for a service of data recovery, but it is useless with the encryption using the iOS and the iPhone with your data. All what they will recover is meaningless strings of gibberish, not files and with no way to decipher gibberish it's worthless.

  Sorry, but that the data is finished now.

• Request for recovery!

  In windows 7, which was on my BOOTCAMP, I used the disk to shrink drive "C:\" management ", and then creating a score more. It caused the failure of startup of WINDOWS and MAC OS!

  Unfortunately, even when I used Internet recovery and then disk utility, I could not access my information and the backup.

  Disk utility shows scores East and the type of format 'windows_DLM '!

  I am sure that when I used to reduce my BootCamp partition, I have nothing to do with the MAC Partition.

  Is there any script to retrieve data about my scores?

  and if the answer is Yes, what are the scenarios?

  Please tell me how I can do to avoid losing my data?

  I've read a few articles on program of TestDisk is a recovery software, but now I have no OS to!

  and an article describing using "dd" command in a Terminal to create the image, but in fact I don't realize what I can do and that the solution to such a problem occurs.

  Please use How to install OS X on an external drive connected to your Mac - Apple Support to install OS X (even if it's an older version available online recovery) and update, until it matches your drive internal OS X version and then boot from that disk. Your internal drive can be inspected and can be corrected once we look at the disk partitions.

• Mac mini (late 2012) flashing - question mark folder recovery does not work

  Hi all

  earlier today, I upgraded my Mac mini (end 2012) to the latest version of macOS Sierra.

  After 1 hour of use, I realized that many of my plugins FCPX were not working.

  I contacted the developers, and they said does not update the plugins and they told me to go back to El Capitan.

  I decided to listen to them and try to downgrade my OS.

  I restarted the Mac and held down Cmd - R or something like that that took me to the disk utility screen.

  Then I went down to dinner, and when I returned 30 minutes later my Mac had entered the sleep mode for some reason any.

  I woke up the Mac and 40 seconds later the power went out for 5-10 minutes.

  After the blackout, I restarted my Mac that took me to a black screen with a flashing question mark folder.

  I followed some tutorials online (including how to enter get - and the recovery of internet mode), but after a while even restoration of the internet shows me the flashing question mark folder.

  I don't know what to do.

  And no - unfortunately I don't have a Time Machine backup.

  But I have a backup with all my most important files.

  Is it possible to force the Mac to reset itself or something like that?

  Help, please.

  Best regards

  What happens exactly when you start Internet recovery

  by pressing Command + Option + R at the start of the OS X Internet Recovery*.

  If repairable, the startup disk to format and install OSX via recovery. you install Mountain Lion or dependent Mavericks when the Mac was made. Then OSX you want.

• Where can I download the disk recovery Wizard

  I have a Macbook Air with os x 10.9 on it and wanted to make a bootable recovery disk. Following the instruction on the Apple support site, I went to the Apple Store and a disk recovery Wizard search gave no results.

  I have the recovery partition as an option on the hard disk, but there is no such use on the machine, or the Apple Store offers a download.

  Maybe I can just use the unix 'dd' command - that would be sufficient unless there is a quirk of Mac it will mess up.

  Thank you

  Here ' tis: OS X Recovery Disk Wizard v1.0. If you have saved a copy of your OS X Installer, you can do an installation fully bootable: create a Setup program bootable for OS X Mavericks in El Capitan - Apple Support.

• Terminal Server is missing from the recovery mode

  Does anyone know how to start the terminal in recovery mode? Apple support says it should be in the menu as before (boot with command-r) bar, but all I see is a language selector and no option to choose a language or continue.

  

  I see it when I start in the Recovery HD.

  It is possible that your Recovery HD is corrupted. Have you tried to reinstall macOS Sierra on itself? It will rewrite your HD Recovery. You are not hurting your data, user accounts or applications. But a system save before the reinstall would be a good idea.

• How to access Terminal Server in the Sierra recovery mode?

  Hello

  I started just Sierra in recovery mode and the terminal is missing from the menu.
  The main installation window has the usual restore, Reinstall, help and disk utility. But in the top menu, there is nothing else than "language Chooser". Terminal disappeared.
  (The material is a 2011 MBP 15 ")

  Help!

  If you click on the language selector and then cross the bar of menus, correct menus appear actually?

  What would you say if you select an item in the language selector, then select a language?

  I only so this menu appears briefly, so I don't know what is in it. It should disappear and be replaced by the normal menus.

• I can not fire first aid in Recovery Mode

  I upgraded to Sierra this afternoon. Because I'm disorder obsessive-compulsive, I ran first aid on Macintosh HD, despite the quite well running system. Said disk utility it found corruption, and should I run first aid in Recovery Mode. I restart, press command + R and go into Recovery Mode. I open disk utility, but I can't select "Macintosh HD" to perform first aid. It is grayed out.

  How can I select Macintosh HD in Recovery Mode to run first aid?
