Pavilion dv6: create recovery disk media fails

The disk is failing - takes forever to start and the PC hangs when I try to access it using Explorer. I have another drive, removed the PC drive and mounted in a USB SATA disk drive.

I can see the recovery partition, there look OK, contains a lot of files, among them a 22Gig. A file 'bootmgr' in the root and a startup directory, especially of the WIM file.

Can I use this partition to create a bootable USB drive that can recover my OS on this new hard drive?

I know that I can buy a recovery kit, but if I use it, I'll save some money and the day 6-10 wait as the press kit...

Waiting with hope in my eyes

Kind regards

Hello:

Use this guide to learn how to create a recovery media:

http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c01867124&DocLang=en&docLocale=en_US&JumpID=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0004

It only works with the hard drive in the PC.

Here's a way you can reinstall W7 by using the product key of W7 25 characters on the bottom of your PC case.

Make your own plain W7 x 64 installation media.

Here is the link to the download site of Microsoft for the W7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 ISO file.

http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-24209. ISO Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 English

Make sure you get all the 3. XX GB of the file to download.  Sometimes it reports 'Download complete', but you do not have the entire file.

Burn the file on a DVD using the option of the program of your burner burn DVD file ISO then the DVD is bootable.

Or you can use this tool to transfer the ISO to a flash USB 4 GB or DVD drive.  The tool also performs the bootable media.

Then install the drivers and software available that you need your PC support and driver page.

    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.

    Unfortunately, HP is a download option to do this, but you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - cost can vary a little where in the world you live, but they are generally inexpensive.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    If you have a problem with this link, see if you can order them directly from HP.

    @SorryHPbuyer

    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:

  • Pavilion DV6 3300se recovery disk

    Hello

    I lost my rear drive for my laptop, is there a way to get a link for windows and HP support apps with it?.

    Thanks in advance.

    There is no download link available for the operating system and applications HP.

    You will need to buy a set of HP recovery disks or a partner of HP.

    Usually the cost is approximately USD $25,00. It's much cheaper than buying an installation DVD.

  • Failed to create recovery disk

    Hello!

    I apologize in advance for my English.

    After a year of perfect operation, I decided to completely restore my system (Windows Vista Home, HDX 18 Premium, 64-bit) using the hidden partition. Everything was fine.

    A week ago, my PC didn't start because he does not recognize the hard drive: no operating system found. No partition has been found, even the hidden (in my system is E).

    I tried to reset the BIOS and I was right: the booted system, performed all necessary diagnostics and load Windows.

    So, I decided to create a recovery disk to restore the system, even if no partition is found.

    But I have been unable to create recovery disks because the Recovery Manager utility froze, did not write any DVD, and after three hours, I had to turn off the PC, because nothing happened.

    My creation of recovery disks is slightly different from the pictures I've seen in many forums: instead of asking what kind of media, I would like to use (DVD, CD) and how many of them is needed, it simply shows a green bar: writing files, from 0% to 100%. When he arrived at 100%, it froze and nothing happened.

    Now I can not create a new set of disk (the program starts, but its window disappears immediately), even if the PC is running and I could (probably) restore the system using the hidden partition.

    Now:

    (1) are useful recovery disks if the hard drive is not recognized at all?

    (2) since it is possible to create a set of disks only, the failure of the attempt account?

    Thank you!

    You are welcome. Be sure to also follow the Macrium prompt to create a bootable cd. Label it as Macrium rescue and set aside to care for the child. Then whenever you need to restore your laptop to your Image backups, just boot with the cd and it guides you through it. Works even if Windows is too damaged to start.

  • Could not create Recovery DISK 2

    Hello

    I just bought a new computer laptop Toshiba Satellite M300/700 and tried to create recovery disks (4 DVD)
    I managed to create DVDs 1,3 & 4 with No Problem, but couldn't have created the DVD 2.
    I tried so many times and all failed after about 10 minutes of running, I've always had the same error messages like below:

    "The question has occurred when saving the data on the disk,
    the current pprocess will be stopped.
    A power calibration area error.
    Please check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
    If so, please try again with a new disc.

    (Error code: 0E01B5-26-00037304) "

    I searched on Google for this problem, then it worked once I used a format r
    any reason that he worked not + R DVD (all brand TDK Gold).

    I used several laptops has never had this type of problem.

    What this means, is repeated defective program or is defective DVD writer?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. I guess this can happen because of Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. I don't know where you bought this laptop but there is a difference between recovery systems in Europe, Australia or US, but presumably also Toshiba recovery disc creator is the same for all laptops Toshiba worldwide.

    So, if you created the recovery media using DVD-R blank, it's OK and take care of them. You can use them for the installation of Vista more far. To be honest, I use only on DVD-R media. Somehow, I do not like the format +.

    What you can do is to use a third party as Nero software and test if it works with the DVD + R/RW media.

    > I used several laptops has never had this type of problem.
    Sorry, but we are discussing about Toshiba recovery disc creator and this software is probably not available on all these laptops you ve had in the past. If you have noticed this problem with Toshiba tool it doesn't mean another burning application cannot handle with DVD + r/RW media.

    If please test and let us know how it works.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A300D - creating recovery disk problem

    Hello.

    I have Toshiba Satellite A300D-11 t (extended A300D-11) and I would like to create recovery disk. Problem is that I can't run the Toshiba Recovery disk creation tool. There is no shortcut in the start menu.
    I tried to run Program Files.

    Program itself exists (or at least I think it does), there are files in the Program Files folder, in "Programs and features" program is also so I could remove it.
    Simply click on the file TosRDC.exe (or any other file *.exe in this case) and it does not start.

    For memory - recovery partition exists and has not been changed.

    System - Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
    What should do?

    Hello

    I would say to pick up the machine from the disk and then, immediately after the machine, you should try to create a recovery disk. It could be that something in the meantime destroyed some piece of software in your operating system that could be the reason of this problem.

    Maybe not a very elegant solution but the only one that works every time.

    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.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

I tried recovery disc to order from my laptop from the hp Web site but can't find it. I'm in a fix what to do now. Please provide me with as soon as possible. Desperately waiting for your answer

    Hello

    Here's another solution, that you could use.

    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 yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - IE Windows 7 Home Premium ) 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 well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    Images of Windows 7.

    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.

  • HP pavilion dv7-6b55dx recovery disk

    Hi all

    I have a hp Pavilion dv7-6b55dx hard drive failed.  Fairly easy to install a new hard drive, but its been a bit more difficult to find any kind of information recovery disk.  The laptop has a hand, and we only had a very short time. Ever created of my own restore disks (I know, I know).  It used Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.

    I can't find anything on the HP site regarding recovery assistance, its seems that my camera is no longer supported.  I spoke with Microsoft, although the Windows product key is always on the computuer itself, they said I have to buy a new operating system on their part.  And then even after that, I guess I would have to update the other pilot material as well and may require some sort of recovery disk?  I've been on the HP site, it doesn't seem to be another option to pay to speak with someone, and at this point, I'm afraid that I would pay to hear that there nothing more they can do.

    If you can't tell from my post, I'm not the most computer-savvy person.  I searched online for ideas and found no too.  Most other suggestions are a few years now and do not seem to apply more.  Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
