Pavilion dv6 'average recovery' not recognized

I started to have alerts 'Hard Drive Crash inévitable', so I put in a new hard drive.  Before that, I copied the ' recovery

file ' on a 32 GB flash drive.  All right, with my dv6 indicating a copy of recovery successul.

I put in the new hard drive and installed Win7.  I inserted the 32 GB flash drive that shows approximately 25 GB full seen in 'my computer '.  However, when I try to run or display files, it says "empty folder".

Download the recovery file directly to my since the site HP.com dv6?  I can only find different drivers etc to download.

Thank you.

How have you installed Windows 7? You're supposed to do to boot from the USB stick recovery to restore to the Factory.

  • HP Pavilion DV6 DVD disc not recognized and the media player does not work

    My HP DV6 is having... issues.  Windows 7.  A little history:

    Reading card camera (which I have done before) attempted recently, but he did not read / was not recognized.  Today, tried to launch a DVD, and when it does not start automatically, I discovered that it is not recognized.

    Tried HP Support Assistant, who told me that the model # of the DVD drive that I was using, then proceeded to say there was something wrong with the driver... and he couldn't fix it.

    More?  (Windows Explorer, not Internet) will be often expire or crash...

    I have Norton Internet Security with live update and have yet to have virus problems.

  • XJ437PA #ACJ: Pavilion DV6 - Audio does not

    Hello

    The audio has stopped working in my laptop since these days. It started with the audio does not not intermittently, but he has completely stopped working. I shared my PC specs below:

    Product name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
    Product number: XJ437PA #ACJ

    Processor name: Intel (r) Core i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40 GHz (2 400 MHz)

    I went through this forum and tried a few things:

    (1) to reinstall the codec IDT high definition

    (2) using the file available in the Recovery Manager

    (3) using the MicrosoftFixit

    But the problem is not yet solved.

    Can you please provide some suggestions?

    Thank you

    David

    Hi David,

    I would suggest you try a slight variation on the first two methods.

    Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp47001-47500/sp47393.exe

    One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.

    Right-click on the Audio display Intel entry and select uninstall - this time check the confirmation box to remove the driver and continue the uninstall.

    Then, right-click on the IDT device and select uninstall - for this entry, also check the box confirmation to remove the driver and uninstalling.

    Once completed, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, open your download folder, right click on IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation. Once done, restart the laptop.

    Any improvement?

    Hello:

    Yes you can.

    Here are the instructions and you should be all set.

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    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.

  • HP Pavilion DV6 6120us does not completely close

    My HP Pavilion DV6 6120us crashes during stop. Windows looks like it goes through the process of closing and the screen goes black but the border mouse pad remains on and wifi (f12) button goes orange. The only way to close it completely is to hold the power for a few seconds. Once I start it again, it said that Windows was not shut down properly. After a few days ago, now the laptop battery is not detected.

    I went into the BIOS and run the embedded memory test and hard drive, but both passed. I haven't done a reinstall of Windows, but the battery problem now I think it could be the motherboard, but I hope that it is something else, because it is out of warranty. I am running Windows 7 family SP1 64-bit edition.

    I've seen a few posts on this forum with the same symptoms, but it never seems to be solutions. Any help is appreciated.

    Hello @Rangor and @dottorepcdotcom,.

    I'm sorry to hear that you both have the same problem with your HP Pavilion dv6-6120us Entertainment Notebook PC computer to not stop correctly. I have things that you can try before you commit a material error.

    First of all, I would like to you follow the steps in the HP Support document: performing a hard reset or forced to reset.

    Secondly, I would like to try a stop with ALL USB devices disconnected from your computer.

    Thirdly, I would like to allow you to start your computer in Mode safe. You can do so by following the steps in the HP Support document: Windows 7 Safe Mode and once it is completely started to stop him. If it stops correctly we have driver problem and I would like you to use the HP support document: use of the Recovery Manager to restore the software and drivers (Windows 7) to load the original drivers supplied with your computer. Make sure that you start with the Chipset drivers and install ALL the drivers available. DO NOT RUN UPDATES! Now try to shut down your computer. If it still has the issue make sure that you now follow the steps in the HP Support document: using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7) and make sure that ALL the HP and Windows updates are done.

    Back, I would like you press F10 at startup and enter your BIOS. Once you are in the BIOS, press F9, which will save and quit with the default values.

    Fifth, I want to make sure that your BIOS is up to date. You can check your update of the BIOS on the HP Pavilion dv6-6120us Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page.

    I hope these suggestions help to solve this problem for you. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    I don't know what model said you it not available for, but HP still stocks recovery disc for many machines to Vista (not all), most Windows 7 and of course Windows 8 machines.

    I guess you have a XP or Vista early model? In this scenario, you should be able to get here:

    Don't pay fees to repair overpriced... it happened to dv6 my boss, lift just the frame surrounding the top and sides.  You don't need a crowbar on the bottom of the frame.  Use your nails under the inside edge of the frame, they have adhesive tape double-sided, so it can be a little difficult to dislodge.  Lift slowly so that the band can separate on its own.  Don't force quickly or you could damage it.  Make sure you are not prying the metal frame silver of the LCD, only the black plastic frame.  There are hooks plastic that will make a click sound when you lift up the frame, it will need a strength, so don't be afraid if you hear the wink, he should be able to put it back together if you did it correctly, otherwise you will need to use some tape to tape the rear frame, better than paying $100 +... haha.  Once you have pryed on the top of the frame and have access to the webcam module, you should see the cable going into it from the bottom, push the cable into the webcam, then see if the problem is resolved, the cable most likely just came loose.  If that solved the problem, I suggest to use something you can remove, as hot glue to hold it together, just in case the webcam really needs to be replaced, you can melt the glue wide and swap out.

    If your microphone works very well and just the webcam does not work, then the problem is most likely a driver problem, or the webcam itself somehow has been damaged, which is highly unlikely.

  • HP Pavilion DV6 3122TX recovery deleted partition, need to install windows

    Hello
     
    I have a Pavilion DV6 3122TX laptop. System would block extensively when I ever access any file, was not a virus or whatever it is, I discovered it was the HD due to the error at startup screen "error of hard disk, hard drive 1 (3F1)", I ran all the auto controls and diagnostics but nothing improved. So I formatted the disc completely deleted all partitions even recoveries and other (my bad).

    My recovery disc can not be read by the laptop DVDRom Red flashes for a few seconds and then nothing happens, "said no system disk. Replace the disk and then pres any key blah blah blah... "The drive is fine I checked. I changed the boot options to boot from a CD/DVD internal.

    I need as soon as possible a working windows as a temporary solution. I can't install Windows 7, it seems because of some lock (turns on it was unable to detect the HARD drive). Windows XP cannot see the player because of the requirement of AHCI driver (cannot switch back to IDE) due to the lock of the BIOS. Then I tried the method of slipstream AHCI driver, now, here's my problem I just can't find the AHCI drivers for my laptop since I can not connect to Win to check with CPUz. Can someone direct me to text-mode drivers for this laptop at the wake in winxp x 86 using NliteOS. I'll take the laptop to be fixed at a service center next month, but now I need a solution. Even if you can fix my recovery solution, it would be great.

    I can access the hard disk using Linux. So the HARD drive is ok, please do not refer me to change the HARD drive that is not an option right now. (HARD drive was the problem)

    Sorry for this long post
    Thanks in advance...

    Hello

    Hard drive error, hard drive 1 (3F1) is the disk failure hard try loading in the Bios pass Diagnostics, perform the test, if it fails, you will need to replace the drive. In case your hard drive is not detected in the Bios, you must reinstall the part of the rear panel.

  • HP pavilion Dv6 laptop: does not start in normal mode, safe mode

    Hi all

    I have HP Pavilion DV6 laptop with windows 7 Home premium 64-bit OS. It was working fine up until two or three days.

    After that some software upgrades, it has stopped booting.   When I tried to start it in safe mode, it stops at disk.sys.

    I don't have win 7 OS CD or recovery CD.  So I downloaded the trail version of windows 7 SP1, I want to install this, but he is suspended the windows logo.  I Googled it has bitten, I loaded a linux kernel and access the hard disk.  I backed up all the files required by using this boot of linux.

    I don't know what to do now?  What is the problem with my system. When I ran the drive diagnostic. It was a failure. That means that I can't use this HARD drive?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Concerning

    Stéphane

    Hi stephane,

    Well the error code certainly would indicate that the player began to fail, but just in case, you might try to wipe the entire hard drive first and then reinstalling the operating system as described below.

    Download and install Killdisk on the link below - (this application will write zeros to the entire disk).

    http://Software.LSoft.net/KillDiskSuiteFree-Setup.exe

    Download and install ImgBurn on the link below.

    http://download.CNET.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html

    Access the application of disc kill you have installed in all programs, open the main folder, then select Bootable Disk creators, then the BACK Bootable CD Creator that will burn the ISO on a blank CD bootable.

    During the following process do not worry about all warnings as your Windows 7 installation disk will reformat the HARD drive.

    Insert this CD into your PC which is unable to load the operating system properly. Close Notepad, and then start again to boot from the CD of Killdisk and follow the instructions on the screen to kill disk.

    A brief description of the process here is Killdisk.

    Use it to wipe the entire hard drive, Select (80 h) and press f10 (you will also need to type a confirmation and press enter) - ( This will make sure to include all of the partitions , and then start the process - this may take a few hours!).

    When the process is complete, remove the CD of Killdisk and try to reinstall Windows 7.

    If it still does not work, I think your only option is to replace the HARD drive.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement of the HP recovery discs using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    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.

    Also, if possible, back up the folder swsetup which lie at the root of the C drive.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) 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.

    http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-Windows-7-by-phone.aspx

    Regarding the drivers etc, you must, if you were able to save the swsetup this will contain all the software installers and drivers for your laptop - if you were not able, drivers and software, you may need can be found here.

    Hello:

    I can't help you with the dilemma of recovery disc because sometimes they do not work and there is nothing you can do about it, unfortunately.

    If you can still read all 25 characters of the product key of Windows 7 on the bottom of your PC, do your own regular W7 installation media, so you can at least install W7 and get your notebook back operational.

    Here's how...

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

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