Pavilion p7-1421: useless recovery disks

Restore disks, I created just after I bought this computer are useless, as well as the recovery hard disk partition.  In order to restore my computer after a system crash, I needed to take it to a shop to have Windows reinstalled at a cost of $100.   I was told that I would need a flash drive of the reconstitution of HP if my system already experienced a failure again because the disks will not work with Windows 8.  When I tried to restore discs, I got an error that says "these discs cannot be used with this computer.  I am very frustrated that the retrieval system provided by HP does not work.

Any suggestions besides buy a new computer from another company?

HERE IS a GUIDE to the order, disk or USB, HP recovery media.

I hope this helps.

  • HP Pavilion p6 2000-ukm: recovery disk/boot on a new HARD drive?

    Hello

    I have a hp Pavilion p6 2000 ukm. Recently I started getting on my HARD drive error messages, saying it was a failure. I recently bought a new HDD in my pc. I connected it correctly and it says that I need recovery disk / boot disk.

    To my knowledge when I bought this pc there was no disk Windows 7. Now I know on workstations, you create your own.

    My question is... How to get windows 7 installed on my new hard drive when I plug it in? I'm looking for the iso of windows 7, I think that his name, but I can't find any .iso file.  I'm trying to install windows 7 on my new drive HARD I need not my other files like music... etc. I'm looking to get my HARD drive installed with windows 7, where it has IE and I can go back to the installation of everything I had previously. Should u use "create a system image"? Its a big file and requires 7 + dvd discs is my only option? I have my 25 key windows 7 as well.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6135dx: bad recovery disks sent

    If three computers laptops hp of my family died in the same week (tbf time my parents had the virus and I have neglected my failing ram). I took them all better buy geek team because I didn't have the time to fix and my parents are under warenty.

    All I wanted to do to mine was a complete system restore and wiping, already backed up all my data but my recovery partition has been altered and I don't have a recovery disk, a mistake I'll be sure to never do it again.

    After that the best buy had it for a few days, that they informed me that I had to buy the hp recovery discs. I paid extra money for 2 days shipping, obtained records, took the best purchase and waited several days to be told that the discs are bad and I had to ask hp for replacements for the disks, I had no more than a week ago. So today I spent over an hour on the phone by train and failure to have a person to understand and give me a solution to what I thought was a fairly simple problem (everyone I spoke with was nice, but we had a problem with his microphone and I could hardly understand them).

    Don't know what should be the next step, but I have been without my computer alone for weeks at this point and I seriously need to work.

    HI @Mag11 ,

    I brought your question to the attention of a team within HP. They are likely to ask for information from you to get your information or product serial number. Please search for a private message from a contact HP identified. Also, remember not to publicly display (numbers series and information).

  • HP Pavilion Media Center m7580: HP Pavilion Media Center m7580n recovery disks

    I have an old HP Pavilion m7580n Media Center, provided with Windows XP - I put it to update to Vista Ultimate (64-bit). I wish she were bacek to a very basic Windows OS XP, any suggestions? Do you think I can buy a new XP license, or can I use my product key for XP? I can't find any Revoery disc. ANY help would be appreicated - thank you.

    You are the very welcome.

    You should have no problem with that, and your PC will run probably better, because a 64-bit operating system requires more memory and disk space to run a 32 bit OS only.

    Given that your PC can take up to 4 GB of memory, there is no advantage to run an operating system to 64-bit on it.

    You will need to buy a HP recovery media or HP partner to return your laptop to the working state, in which it was delivered.

  • Pavilion G6-2213 nr: cannot start using HP system recovery disks

    Hi all

    I have a laptop of Pavilion G6 2213 nr and I had problems and ran diagnostics from the system on it and he failed the hard drive of the short dst test, so I ordered HP recovery discs and a new hard drive on ebay. I have put in the new drive hard, pop in the first recovery disc in the drive, and when I try to boot from the cdrom drive, it says 'press any key to boot from the CD or DVD... ». After pressing a button, it goes on the page 'selected boot image could not authenticate. So I searched online and found in this case, I should turn on legacy mode and turn off secureboot. So I make this change in the bios and go out with gain and he enter a four digit code + enter to make the change in legacy mode. After you have entered the code, the computer restarts and wonder at new "press any key to boot from the CD or DVD...". ». I press a key, and then it takes me to a page in black/white with only a blinking cursor and never does anything else. With the new drive hard in, I ran the memory and the hard drive a broad diagnosis and pass the two tests.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? What is the DVD player? Or sata controller (not that I really know what that means, I just read in a post somewhere in a case similar to what is probably the DVD drive or a SATA controller).

    Any help is appreciated!

    I'll try that. Thank you.

    You are quite welcome.

    You will need to have a hard drive replacement, which is at least 160 GB of capacity!

    A 120 GB hard drive (or SSD) will not work with the Recovery Manager.

    The usb recovery media is the image recovery factory in about an hour and it is a sustainable product. If there is a scratch on the side of the label of a recovery disk, the entire set of recovery disks becomes unusable.

    A factory image recovery with recovery disks can take two hours or longer time to complete.

  • 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!

  • Pavilion 4070 - us: new hard drive for the recovery disks do not work! Help!

    Hi - the hard drive on my Pavilion 4070 - crashed us, so I bought a replacement - a Samsung SSD 850 EVO, 256GB drive.  The problem is that I can't seem to get the recovery disks to work, and neither Microsoft nor HP is willing to help me.  Of course, Microsoft tells me they don't give me any help for Windows7 OEM versions and HP said that my product is no longer supported so they do not help me.  This is ridiculous - I own a legal copy of Windows 7 and I can't get any help from the company who sold me the computer?

    What happens when I go through the process of installation with the recovery discs, is that instead of the Windows installation continue as it is supposed to, I have "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any."  I'm desperate, I tried two different options - one was the minimum image recovery, the other was a factory restore.  Nothing seems to work. What can I do?   Moreover, the original hard drive is not * completely * dead - I can still access most of the data on it.
