Pavilion P6512UK: Windows 7 reinstall or HP recovery?

My HP Pavilion P6512 with Windows 7 has 5 years and performance is slow sometimes well do the usual things to clean and improve performance.  I thought to re - install Windows 7, but then I thought of making a recovery of HP to its original state instead.  Would it be easier or more effective because it would also reinstall all the other original programs and drivers who were there to buy?  I have recovery disks but is also an option to recover from the recovery disk HP D: that has about 10 GB on it - don't know what is there.  Any advice would be appreciated - thanks.

While it is perhaps not the easiest, it is complete with all the drivers.  Just be aware that if there is any data you want to keep should be backed up to separate the media before the recovery is performed.

  • I have a HP Pavilion with windows vista, can I create recovery system on dvd - r discs? Donkey1

    I have a HP Pavilion with Windows Vista a6214x.  About 3 years ago, I created my recovery with 2 discs dvd - r system

    I never had problems by creating discs and my HP troubleshooting and maintenance guide says that I could use either

    the dvd - r or dvd + r. But the other day, technical support of HP said use the dvd + r to create system recovery discs. If this is the case, I have to start all over again and create Sytem recovery discs on dvd + r?

    Donkey #1

    The DVD creation has always been a unique event. I'd be surprised if it worked.

    HP can tell you how to reset the utility.

  • HP pavilion dv6103nr, windows xp media center edition, recovery

    I get this error message "Windows is not start because the following file is missing or corrupt...". Please reinstall a copy of the above file' the file name changed after I tried a system restore and is currently \system32.hal.dll I tried several different things, but I'm still stuck on this black error screen, and windows does not start.  At the end of the day, I just want to get to all the photos on my old laptop that I'm kicking myself for not backup

    My 10 year daughter, was the last who has used the laptop and said that she was just using ms word.

    Here's what I've tried so far.

    Hard reset

    You press f10 to access the PhoenixBIOS Setup utility.  A go from there ran a "first hard drive Self Test" this reported success, but still does not start correctly

    You press f11 go to the "restoration of the PC" (I think that I created years recovery disks when I bought the laptop, but have no idea where they are) went in the advanced-> Windows System Restore Options.  That said it needs to restart and brings back me to the black screen

    You press f11 to go to the recovery of the PC again.  This time only used the default value and click Next.  Apparently this default option does not remove the data files on the pc.  This lasted about an hour, rebooted and took back me to the black screen but with another missing file. Don't you remember what was the last file.

    Any ideas on what to try next?  Maybe I should find a way to connect to the hard drive without the laptop?  Thank you very much.

    I promised myself now not to delete images from my camera memory card/photo until I supported the up... twice

    Hello:

    I think you have to remove the HARD drive and put it in an external USB box to get the data out of it.

    If you try a system recovery, it would erase all files and restore the system as the day it left the factory.

    Something like that would be what you need for the portable player SATA that your PC comes with.

    Then just plug it into another PC and copy your files off the power.

    I doubt you'll get up to start the laptop.

    Once you get the data out, and if you do not find the recovery discs, you did, you can get factory HP recovery of this 3rd third-party disks.

I resized the partition and delete windows 7 recovery disc, and now I need to reinstall because of disk problems.

    Please let me know if you are able to copy the disc of recovery for me and put it to a web page that I can download it from. You can make a password to avoid abuses.

    Hi spurnymartin,

    > removed windows 7 recovery disk
    To be honest that s does not erase. Did you delete the folder in HARD drive recovery or what exactly?

    Usually, you can reinstall Windows drive HARD or Toshiba recovery disc.

    If you n t have it more, you can order the CD from Toshiba. In my opinion you n t pay twice for the same thing because it s not a Toshiba error.

  • 23 all-in-One Pavilion: a Factory Reset also renews the recovery Partition?

    I just did a Factory reset on my 23 all-in-One Pavilion. Previously, in the past, I had inadvertently erased the recovery disc. Fortunately, as I just discovered in the rebuilding process, I did a flash backup restore.

    (1) now that I have to order, updated to 8.1 has done that also recover this recovery on the hard disk drive.

    (2) the last time I did the flash recovery he had only windows 8. Now that I have 8.1 on that I should make a new flash with window 8.1 on this recovery?

    I know that last time I did restore flash he reported that it was a matter of time. Could not do another restore backup discs or Flash after this one. So I suspect that if the recovery disc has not been restored too it does not allow me to make a new key USB recovery stick?

  • HP pavilion d4790y windows Vista cannot connect to internet unless you use WEP wireless

    I have a HP Pavilion with Windows Vista 32 bit home premium d4790y.  I can connect to my ISP wireless router using the HP internal network adapter, but the connection between the router and the internet does not work unless I downgrade the router security to WEP.  If I connect to the router via a wired connection, I can connect to the internet without problem even with WPA2.  I did all the troubleshooting steps recommended as reset the router to check updated network adapter, uninstall/reinstall the network adapter driver, driver release and renew the ip configuration, etc.  Information?  Is there a newer driver that is not recognized during the update search process?

    Hello

    It is a hardware thing and the wireless card does not support this. Changing the wireless card can be the way to go.

  • HHD has failed and needs to be replaced on my out of warranty Pavilion DV6 (Windows Vista)

    I have a laptop DV6 Pavilion running Windows Vista that I bought in 2009.  I realize that is no longer under warranty HP so I have to pay for any changes or corrections to this computer.

    Earlier this week, the hard drive (the one included with the computer) failed with error 03f0. It is my understanding that this error is a fatal error and the drive is essentially 'toast '... Unfortunately, I do NOT have a backup of the image of that hard drive. I have just the recovery disks that I created when I got to the computer originally.  I quite like this computer I would try out running back (if possible) without having to spend a LOT of money. In my simple mind how how I get this computer running and upward would buy/install a compatible replacement hard drive and boot the system with the recovery discs. Unfortunately, I think my plan is simply probably naïve and I probably need to do other things. So I need some advice before you start this process and possibly wasting my time and money.

    I need answers to some of these questions:

    -Will it record Windows/Vista OS and more recovery disks to get the computer running with a new hard drive?

    -If I need Windows OS disc, can I go directly to Windows/8?  OR do I need start with Windows Vista and then upgrade to Windows/8 later?  Use recovery discs and all Windows operating system? OR I can get running with just the disks in the Windows operating system?

    -If I can get the hard drive and Windows operating system loaded, I guess I need HP drivers, etc... Does it mean that I have to get the disks from HP's Windows operating system or can I get it from Microsoft or Amazon and download the drivers from HP later?

    Thanks to anyone who can help me here for advice! It will save me a LOT of time and money.
