Pavilion dv7 - 4197cl: 2nd set of recovery disks still does not.

Due to the major failure of HARD drive I had to replace it. I did the recovery disc for this computer shortly after getting it. Replaced and upgraded to a Toshiba 1 TB. Tried recovery disc I made. They caused the computer to lock up and just touch e power to stop would work to stop it. Ordered a new series of discs a few months earlier and go around doing a cover of them last week. Recovery stopped shortly after the second disc would begin (modified time/%) and would eject the DVD drive with a message to contact HP support and a replacement disk HARD would normally fix this problem press Finish to close the computer. After the reboot, I get this message:

Windows could not start. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause.  To solve the problem:

1: Insert your Windows installation disc, and then restart your computer.

2: Choose your language settings, and then click "next".

3: click on "Repair your computer."

If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

File: \Boot\BCD

Status: 0x000000f

An error occurred trying to read the boot configuration data.

Supports HP response was ' we sent you the correct discs so I you go to a technician "and the M.a.n informs me that I am out of warranty, but they can still fix it. Everything that I have to do is sign up for a support contract. Ordered a second set of disks. Both the original order said there would be 4 disks, but both times there was only 3 sent me. Second series does the same. I tried several hard drives and even an SSD with the same result. I tried all the recommended Windows repair suggestions are done everything to nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Pavilion dv7 - 4197cl

Win 7 64 HP

8 GB OF DDR3 MEMORY

1 TB HARD DRIVE

128 GB SSD

Hi Tony,.

Well, I finally understand that. I removed the RAM that was in it and installed just the 12800 DDR3 4 GB. There was a short video on the internet on Windows errors and he said try it. Well, it worked for me. Then, it was just a question of what the devil the restore program was doing. Guests or lack thereof are terrible, and the only way to know if it still works on something is on the lookout for the activity on the LED on the HARD drive. Thanks for the answer, and I hope one of these patches, either yours or mine, will help someone else. Incidentally he semed to the amount of installed memory. Whenever I went to 8GB I had problems. 6 or less and it was OK. Any manufacturer or speed (HP recommend of course) worked as long as I stayed under the 8GB. Thanks again.

  • When windows asks me to isnert a password recovery disk, it does not offer the possibility to create one in the D drive, where I have a DVD. Why?

    I have a new Dell XPS with Windows 7 Home computer. I want to create a password recovery disk. I have (1) check my CD/DVD drive works (2), I watched the video on how to create a password reset disk (3) I did the procedure successfully in the past on other computers (4) I rebooted the computer after having difficulty finding the opportunity to insert a disk in drive D, the name of the drive for my DVD / CD player. What is the problem?

    The problem is that when I am asked to insert a disc in the player I'd give myself a choice is not drive D, the name of the drive to my CD/DVD drive.
    So over and over again once I wonder to insert the disc. I also have one of these drives you can put 4 holders memory size different from the type used in cameras and I have a DVD player, it is called D drive.  Why I'm not given the option to use drive D when I'm given a choice I can insert a disc so that the password recovery disk can be created?

    Change the assignment of drive letter for the dvd player to one letter other than.

    1. sign the computer as an administrator.

    2. Insert a disk in the removable drive.

    3. type computer management in the start search box and press ENTER.

    4. click on disk management.

    5 right-click the partition, logical drive or volume that you want to change and then clickchange drive letter and paths.

  • HP Pavilion dv7: latest updates automatic corrupts OS. PC does not restart.

    After several upgrades of MS has been installed recently (25 +) reboot could not complete successfully and my only alternative was to restore to a previous restore point.  Automatic updates immediately reinstalled the upgrades and the next time you start gave rise to the same question.  Now, I have disabled the automatic updates to prevent this does not happen, but I don't know how to move forward.

    Has anyone else seen elsewhere?  Any advice?  My one year warranty expired last month.

    Hello

    First of all I believe guaranteed software is shorter than the 1 year warranty on hardware. In this case, something to do with Microsoft products and I think that HP can help you, they'll send back you to Microsoft. My suggestion: updated one by one, that the pain, BUT you will be able to eliminate one causing the problem. We can work on this problem later.

    Kind regards.

  • S52060f Pavilion Slim Line: how create a set of recovery disks is service pack 1 burn on the disc

    Hello

    No problems with one of my desktop windows 7 but have some questions and concerns.   Outside my thin line, I have 2 other computers hp windows 7.  They are p6510T CTO Desk Top clubhouse and Pavilion HPE H8m Desk Top.   I created my own set of recovery for each computer cd.   When I created the recovery discs, I don't remember if my computer came with service pack 1 preinstalled by buying them directly at Hp.     My first question is this.   Do plant purchased hp computers come with service pack 1 already preinstalled.

    Next question.   If they do and the recovery discs that I burned for each service pack 1 image, too, be burned on the disks.   Finally.   Is there a limit to the way in which many times can I use my recovery by computer disks.

    You place your order of recovery disks is not possible that they are discontinued.   I also undertand after reloading windows I can load the service pack 1 back when running a windows update.   But it is easier to have service pack 1 already imaged on any set of recovery disks.   If some can please please point this out.    Thank you.

    If you create recovery discs when you got the computers, you can use them as many times as you want as long as they continue to work.  SP1 would not be included.  I don't think that they were not in what you received initially.  They come through Windows Update, see the center of update and the Service Pack

    The model s52060f turns out to be incorrect, please confirm.  The number of HPE H8m is incomplete, shall be read as

    HPE H8m K8300 for example.

  • Why am I being asked to do another set of recovery disks?

    I made the one and only set of recovery disks, following the instructions.

    Now, I get an alert in HP Advisor instucting me to make recovery disks.

    Why would I receive this alert?

    P8, it sounds to me like HP Advisor did not get the message. I would try to make the disks again to see what happens.  If it lets you do, HP Advisor should be satisfied.  If this isn't the case, maybe that will satisfy HPA, also.

  • When turning on pc and when the acer logo appears it asks to enter the current password, I bought the recovery disk but do not get a chach to enter the bios

    When turning on pc and when the acer logo appears it asks to enter the current password, I bought the recovery disk but do not get a chach to enter the bios

    This looks like a utility Acer protect disk hard & possibly also the BIOS.  You will need to consult your manual for Acer.  You have configured a password of HDD that you are now trying to recover, by chance?  This recovery is not possible if the hard drive has been password protected.

    If it was a Windows login screen then it would show your user/admin name and password entry area & would be clearly identified as a Windows form of the version of Windows being displayed at the bottom of the screen.

  • Re: Satellite L300 - made recovery but disc does not work

    I have a Satellite L300 and did a few sets of recovery discs from what I read some brands work and some don't, and none have so far.

    Insert Diskette 1, press the button and hold F12 key until the startup option appears.
    Select CD/DVD and then back type box appears with X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe - startnet.cmd
    and in the box waiting for ODD vacancies...

    You can add several points after that as nothing is more - so three sets of recovery disks on three different brands of DVD any advice would be pleaseing!

    Hello

    According to your description, the system restore procedure does not start, and the STRANGE can not read the disc.

    In your case I would recommend recover laptop using Toshiba HDD recovery.
    You can start the procedure of HARD drive; Press F8, choose repair my computer, Toshiba HDD recovery.
    Now the system restore should products

    After the laptop has been set to factory settings, check to see if there is an update of firmware for this CURIOUS (CD/DVD drive). If yes-> update the firmware.

  • My new laptop has crashed and disk backup does not work, can download a boot disk for Windows 7, I hit legitimate?

    My Acer 5745 laptop crashed, my backup boot drive does not work. The laptop was running Windows 7 when I bought new in November 2010. Y at - it somewhere that I can download a floppy or a recovery disc?  'The Source' store where I bought will not help, they said they had to go back to Acer and it could take up to two months to return to a charge of about $170.

    Thanks for any help, someone might be able to give.

    A laptop bought at that date will still be under warranty, there should be no costs involved, contact Acer technical support.

    I guess by the backup startup disk, you mean the set of recovery disks you did when you first used the PC?

  • Disk cache does not

    I use the add-on for the status of the Cache and noticed last week that the disk cache half of it shows 'not yet loaded. At first I thought that the problem was with the add-on, I even uninstalled and re-installed, but still got the same message. Then I realize that the error was because the disk cache is not active somehow.

    The upgrade to 11.0 FF last week, I made no changes to my configuration or installed any new Add-ons in weeks. I have a few additional modules related to the cache that I installed because I noticed this problem, in fact to diagnose this problem. All in their own way reiterates that the disk cache does not work.

    The page about: cache? device = disk is completely blank in my browser. The purpose: cache page only displays the information of the cache and hide offline (i.e. 0, since I have it is off).

    I added a "Cache" folder in my profile, and he has not made a difference.

    No, I did not order my disk cache folder to a different location on my hard drive.

    No, I'm not in navigation mode private unless there is a way to get in without my knowledge. With the menu editor I removed options incognito in my menus for a long time, since I never use it. He has also not checked in Options - Advanced - Privacy.

    Yes, I have checked all the cache-related on: configuration settings. Everything is as it should be activated and assigned to a certain size of the disk cache.

    How can I get this working again? It's a bit missing folder manually add to my profile, and if so, what is the path?

    This behavior is a feature, not a bug. When the "clear history of firefox closing" setting is selected, the option to clear the cache too, the disk cache is completely disabled. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709262 for more information.

    It took me a while to understand this one.

    This means that the recovery media creator software is unable to find image files stored on the HARD drive recovery partition.

    One of the reasons could be the missing HARD drive recovery partition or files (image files) have been deleted...
