• Reset factory settings but the recovery disc is not recognized

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6-3030sd laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium installed OA.

  I want to restore it to factory settings, but is not possible using Recovery Manager, because he does not see my recovery Partition.

  Since I have recovery discs, I tried to restore my factory settings using the recovery discs.

  However, it is also not possible. Even after setting my BIOS (boot order first DVD player) the laptop not start using the DVD player.

  Then performed several actions (eventally I still adjusted registry) as mentioned by microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us?

  Still not possible to start using a DVD player.

  It goes the same for USB.

  I can use my DVD player and USB but I can't boot from them.

  How do I restore my laptop to factory settings?

  I still have my product key and I was able to record an English version of Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 as an image on a DVD.

  What can I do?

  Is it possible to mount it on my virtual DVD drive (BD - ROM drive) (so the picture of windows 7 in the virtual DVD drive and then install it?)

  I hope that there is someone out there who is able to help me!

  Hello

  Sometimes just set the boot priority in the bios menu does not work as it should.

  Try the following.

  Insert your 1st recovery disk, and then click stop the laptop.

  Now on TAP the ESC key as soon as you start the launch of the laptop Boot Menu.

  Select boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

• 2000-2d27cl HP: recovery file exist but the recovery partition has been changed

  recovery partition has been extended and after several months I had some problems, so I decided to reset my laptop to factory settings but Recovery Manager computer cannot recognize the recovery partition. Recovery partition has been extended and I use this partition as a backup partition for my photos, programs and music. The reason why I want to reset to factory settings is because my laptop in early labour right and after ten minutes start to work very slowly, I can't do anything!

  Help, please!

  Thank you for your answer, but I was already able to reset my laptop to factory settings. My recovery partition has been extended, but the drive letter is different. When I realized this error, I change the drive letter. Recovery Manager started smoothly with F11 taster during startup. So, I think that everyone can do the same thing, you can change the size of your recovery partition and you can use it as backup partition, but do not try to move or copy your restore file to any location.

• Reinstall the recovery partition - drive (e) on gn561aar of HP Pavilion a6230n desktop PC

  "HP Pavilion a6230n desktop PC
  Serial number: {removed privacy}

  I had problems with the computer a few weeks ago and had to do a disk/partition Acronis backup restore. Drive C: / (and all my other readers) are working as they should but drive E:/where is the partition installed normal recovery does not restore properly. I recently had another problem and tried to do a restore using the partition HP recovery and got the error messages it is not found? I didn't use the Acronis since the results had already been mentioned.

  HP web site does not list my computer and I think I need to order a set of recovery from my web research disc, but I'm going in circles on the HP web site trying to find out where to order or send an email to technical support. Looks like HP wants just to sell their hardware and then completely dump you after disregarding needs later? I am very frustrated with HP because it seems that if you have not purchased the equipment in the last 90 days you're in their "rearview mirror" when it comes to help?

  I still have to call their phone support since I had 'experience' with their offshore support in the past and would really like to avoid new frustrating experience with the entire HP support system.  Why can't I just ask a question and get a resolution - is it too ask?  Apparently Yes...

  Can anyone help me to get what I need to replace the recovery on my desktop computer partition and get it all working properly again? Thank you in advance for any help that will help solve this problem. Robert

  Well, since the computer came with Vista, then the recovery partition will be of no other value to reinstall Vista, which I assume is not what is wanted.  If the Windows 7 install disk is always available, then reinstall Windows 7 on this disc and new departure.  Was the original Vista 32 bit and the new Windows 7 64-bit, so is not "upgrade was/is possible, but a new install anyway."  As the other 64-bit programs have been added after the upgrade to Windows 7, installers will need to be rerun to get install them after you have reinstalled Windows 64-bit.  Otherwise, the Acronis image can be used.  Unless HP has published this same model computer with Windows 7 64-bit, there is no HP support and hense no recovery partition. Sorry

• Satellite L500-19 - remove the recovery partition and create new

  Hello!

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L500-19th with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). So far, everything is brilliant work.
  I have already created the recovery DVDs.
  As a result, could now delete the partition with the recovery program? I want to use the full space of my hard disk and create partitions as I want.
  But I don't know how I should do this?
  Could you please help me?

  If you are sure that the created recovery DVD is ok at 100%, you can delete all data on the second partition.
  Open Windows Explorer on the left side where is the second partition, click with the right button of the mouse and choose the FORMAT option.
  Choose the quick format option and click START.

  After a minute or two, all data will be gone.

  Please note: in the future when you want to use recovery DVD for installing Win7 the whole HARD disk is deleted and you will lose all your data.
  Using recovery DVD you can not format the C partition only.

• Pavilion dv6t-2000 - cannot recover from the recovery partition

  Hey there. I'm trying to restore my laptop with Win 7 settings, but I can't seem to restore from my recovery partition. I tried the F8, F11 key and on the ways to office with no luck. In some of them, recovery option is grayed out, but using the recovery on the Desktop Manager, I have recovery option, but he says to insert disk 1 before continuing. I have no disc and I already have a previous restoration set the last time I got my laptop (about 2 years ago).

  When I click on my computer I see the c drive and d drive - what is labeled a recovery partition. I did a check of the recovery partition and there are no errors. It seems to work fine, except that my laptop is not to be used to recover. I know it's a major road, so I've never tested with it.

  Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated

  It is more likely that some of the files were corrupted on the recovery partition. At this point, since you have no recovery disc, I would phone HP to order recovery media.

• Try to restore from the recovery partition

  I'm trying to restore my laptop to its original state by using the restore partition.  I formatted the C drive, but the recovery partition was left in place.  Is there a way to do this?  I, unfortunately, do not appear to have the recovery CD I did a disk with Acronis image that seems to be a joke as it will not restore anything.  Would appreciate any advice you can give me at this point.

  My laptop was a Vista Home, if that helps.

  Thank you

  Recovery disks must be always available for your laptop.

  These links are dead to 99% of the numerous times, reported, several times.

• Manager Windows 8.1 and the HP recovery disk manager cannot remove the recovery partition

  I have the following computer: HP ENVY h8 desktop PC - 1437c.  I used the HP Recovery application to do a recovery on a flash drive disk. When you have finished this operation it was not an option to remove the recovery partition (drive D on my computer. I tried to reopen the HP Recovery Manager and try to remove it like that, but to remove it is greyed out. I also tried to delete it using the 8.1 windows Disk Manager, but there is no way to do there either. If I right click on the recovery Partition, I get only an option 'help '. How can I get rid of this partition and recover lost space using it now on my hard drive. Windows and HP did not want to provide more records with their computers, but they do not have a problem of screwing of MY hard drive that I bought and paid for. I should start to charge rent for the space.

  I just used the software and created another partition as drive D using all unallocated space. I can delete probably once again, or maybe I'll just use it as a storage device for my files instead of recovering files sofetware... Thanks for the help

• The recovery Partition is really necessary for normal operation?

  Hello

  W1-810.

  After you have created the 2 USB key recovery, I deleted the recovery partition. He did with EaseUS partition manager pro. Immediately, the Tablet has crashed and is not booting now. I can boot from the USB key in the UEFI system recovery tools. Not tried to go further.

  But the recovery partition is used during operation normal sp that is why it crashed, or what happened here just another problem that I created?

  Yes, you should be able to reinstall, but if you can you should disable before resetting the machine.  Otherwise, if the two license activations were used and no reset you will need to contact Adobe Support by chat and ask them to reset your activations.

• Pavilion G6 Caps lock flashes constantly but the laptop work.

  Hello!

  I've owned my HP Pavilion g6-2292sa Notebook PC (running Windows 8) for about 4 months now and tonight, so I was watching just the net that I noticed that my Caps Lock led flashing continuously, a flash every second. My laptop works fine, and I rebooted to try to stop the flashing, but with no luck. I checked Flash and positions that average hot flashes but mine does not fit in all of this. It is starting, it is not beep just the caps lock flashes constantly. I checked my other lights and see no other spazzing out like that. I'm rather worried because I had to have a new motherboard and HARD drive in a month of purchase. I googled not materialized. Can someone help me please?

  Definitley weird!

  Can you check the UEFI environment in F2? Let's see if it happens there inside and outside to win 8.

  If it happens again, we can try a hard reset - remove the battery and AC and hold the market for 30 seconds, then plug back in. We can also try a BIOS flash - checks whether there is a newer version or re flash.

  If the problem does not occur in BIOS - then you can try a Virus scan / update or restore possible system
