• Pavilion 23-b244 AiO: the system recovery media does not support this computer

  Hey all,.

  I had a power outage (1 TB) HD material on me about a week ago and replaced by a (500 GB) SSD, not purchased from HP.  I then ordered the recovery disc from HP for this particular serial number.  Whenever I boot on the recovery discs, I get "this computer does not support the system recovery media. You are not able to restore the system with the media. "The Minsize argument in the instructions to build on the DVD file provides a minimum of 140 GB, so I don't think I have a new smaller drive system is the question.

  Last month I have updated the firmware to v80.08, and in the bios "product name", 'SKU number', 'serial number of the chassis' fields are all empty.  In "System ID", everythign is empty except UUID and family name.

  I think that's why I'm not able to boot to recovery discs?

  Any help would be appreciated, I have use this computer for quickbooks and have bee unable to do accounting for a week and a half.

  Figured it out! On my Pavilion, you press Ctrl + A in the bios then click on 'System IDs'. Then I was able to type in the ID to build my recovery and support the byte to feature on the sticker under my machine. F10 to save then the recovery media recognized the computer properly and booted up!

• System backup Image against the system recovery disks

  Hello

  I'm new to the system recovery things and I have a question...

  I just bought a new computer laptop m7-1015dx of Pavilion and need to do system recovery discs... (which I realize restore laptop to factory default)... BTW, I have already created the system repair disc.

  However, I read an article on creating a system backup Image allowing you to recovery if lost EVERYTHING, all your installed programs, etc.

  First Question:

  Can someone tell me if I do the backup IMAGE of the system...

  Do I still need to create recovery disk (mfg default) system also?

  The second Question:

  If I create system recovery disks can I still this Recovery Partition?

  I am really really wanting to partition my C:\ drive... it is huge

  In addition, I hate to see storage folders involved in system folders...

  Currently using a symbol/character to separate them.

  From now on, I can't partition the C:\drive all partitions are used as... Max is 4

  and I have 4... C:\drive, System Partition, Partition HPTools and recovery Partition.

  Any help or assistance would be appreciated.

  Thanks for the research.

  Best regards, Jenn

  Hi, Jenn:

  I'd certainly recovery disks because in the case of a hard drive failure, a recovery partition is unnecessary because it would be on the failed drive.

  Recovery disks will do the same as a recovery partition. Reinstall the operating system and programs supplied with your laptop.

  I have also copy off the coast of the C:\drive SWSetup folder and store it on a portable hard drive that contains all files Installer provided with your PC (except MS Office 2010 Starter).

  You can also make your own Windows 7 installation disc and have a nice bloatware without installing windows, and then install only the programs you want from the SWSetup folder.

  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.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  You can get rid of all the partitions you want to if you plan to use recovery or disc of Windows 7 installation method that I posted above.

  I write my product key and store them somewhere for more security that many people report that it fades if you keep the laptop on your lap a lot, and then you wouldn't be able to use the alternative method to install W7.

• Strange question, craps remaining after the system recovery on my windows xp desktop.

  Strange question, thank you for your comments!

  I just reinstalled windows xp on my old HP desktop HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7334n PC computer using the recovery on D partition. I expect that the installation would be a clean install. At the beginning of the recovery, I noticed the message on the screen saying that the backup was in process. After recovery, I could start my computer and realized that used disk space C was still as the space of C drive used before the restoration. I also noticed that there was a lot of pre-installed programs appears on the list of start - all programs. I never installed them after recovery. Many of them work. I expect a CLEAN installation. It is not clean at all.

  Furthur inspection on the system to reveal problems:

  1. I noticed that there are so many records under the program folder program files on the C drive (I have only one program fichiersDossier). I guess that the recovery process copied evething under my original forder of program files in this folder. I don't have anything I can use most of them because the links were scattered on a large number of them (I can't run the program of either start - all programs or folder directly). Is not at all a CLEAN installation.

  2. the recovery process also copy my document in the folder as well original user, see below to understand which is the original file of the user.

  3. originally, in my computer, I have two users (or 3 including comments), we came to HP-administrator with the computer, is another family.  On the computer I just recover, there are 3 users accompanying the recovery. They are administrator, hp-administrator and guest. I've renamed the family administrator. Now, under systems and settings, I see the user plus two records. They are administrator-YOUR-4DACD0EA75 and hp-administrator-YOUR-4DACD0EA75. YOUR 4DACD0EA75 sounds familiar. I can remember that I was lazy and that it has not changed the computer name during installation after recovery. YOUR 4DACD0EA75 is actually the default name given to me during the installation. I don't like this at all, so I changed the name of the computer and restarted the computer. The name of the computer was changed after the restartup, but ugly folder names remain the same and I can not even rename the ugly file name.

  I had done some restorations system on this computer before, I never noticed a problem like this before.

  1 have we seen this before?

  2 I forgot something?

  3. can I safely delete the original user profiles and records under the program folder program files?

  4. can I do a system recovery really CLEAN? I understand that the crapware will be installed during the system recovery. I'm ok with that, what I want is my pc to be recovered to the original state of the plant.

  5. I can read is no longer my 1st disc restore dvd. Is it possible to make another set of recovery disks?

  Thanks for reading my long message!

  1 have we seen this before? I saw something similar and other relief to be fixed.

  2 I forgot something? I don't think so. Just do an another hard drive recovery. Try again is all I can think about.

  3. can I safely delete the original user profiles and records under the program folder program files? I would'nt mess with her. Just do another hard drive recovery system.

  4. can I do a system recovery really CLEAN? I understand that the crapware will be installed during the system recovery. I'm ok with that, what I want is my pc to be recovered to the original state of the plant. Yes. Used hydrogen peroxide call destructive (or full) non-destructive vs. Make a full - restoration destructive to put things o back the way you bought it.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07145

  5. I can read is no longer my 1st disc restore dvd. Is it possible to make another set of recovery disks? By all means, out juice of repair disk and try to get it back. If you can repair the disk, make a copy or 2 whole and store them in a safe place. Otherwise, you will have to order them from somewhere on the Web... as a popular auction site.

  Thanks for reading my long message! You are welcome. Thanks for posting. I hope my answer helps.

• Using the "System recovery" Recovery Manager, it will erase the partitions?

  Hello, I was counting on the creation of a second partition for windows 7.

  What I want is two partitions one with windows 7 and one with vista. This is the easiest part.

  Now, I was planning on moving over my larger files, which is a lot of music and a lot of digital photos on the windows partition 7. Then, I wanted to clean install vista using the system recovery feature built into the computer. Now, I see it says restore my computer to default settings, but it's a little vague.

  So my question is, even with 2 separate partitions would be a system recovery remove them both and combine them into 1, just like when I got to my computer? Or would it restore my vista partition just like it was when I got it? I've really messed with the recovery of the system too, so I don't know if there is an option to select a partition, or something, I don't want to go overboard and remove my pictures and music.

  And there are a lot of things, like 50 + GB combined, it would take a lot of time to save it online, but if that's what needs to be done, so be it.

  Thank you!

  Also the laptop I use is a Hp pavilion Dv2500 with just vista on it right now.

  Hello

  The answer is no. The Recovery Manager has his job to do once tell you her to begin.

  The HP Recovery Manager will do its thing and restore your laptop provided that delivery. It is a destructive process in terms of all the space on your hard drive, except for the recovery partition. You will find yourself with a Vista partition (C and a recovery partition (D when it is done.))

  This means that when the recovery is complete and you have all the drivers loaded, you can use the Vista Disk Manager to create your partition in Win 7.

  I hope that this makes it more clear.

  Kind regards

• NB500 - I can't do the system recovery

  Hello

  I got a nb500 Windows 7 starter and I cannot do a system recovery out-of-the-box.

  I tried "press 0 and power", the pc starts, but as long as I continue to press 0 nothing happens. When I release, it will continue to boot normally into windows. Also tried with f8, I can see the system recovery options, but there is no tool for HARD drive recovery there. I also used a toshiba recovery media Creator called program but when I start, it displays a message «there is no area of hard drive recovery»

  Any suggestions please?

  For some reason any there there no initial access to the recovery image.

  Either it is deleted or the partitions of HARD drive structure is changed and recovery tool cannot find the settings for the recovery image.
  Now, you have little problem. Recovery image installation will not work.

  You have two options:
  1 / you can try to install recovery disc original order of Toshiba - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
  2 / you can install own OS version

  All readers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from the Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

• Re: How can I return the system recovery partition?

  I just used the cd to restore the system and on resetting my system to factory setting, but unfortunately, the system drive on the system recovery partition has been deleted.

  How will re - install the drive to restore system partition?

  Hello

  Do you mean the second Vista partition which contains the backup system files?

  This partition is hidden and usually after installing the OS from the Toshiba Recovery disk this partition must be re-created.

  I m 100% sure because I ve got my cell several times using the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs and the hidden partition is created every time.

  Best regards

• In the System Recovery Options administrator password?

  Hello dear users of Toshiba.

  I'm willing to use the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" in the "System Recovery Options" (after pressing F8 when the computer starts) but when I select Administrator as a user, he invites me for a password.

  I double checked my Vista user accounts and the administrator (me) is certainly not no matter what password that are bound to him.
  My problem is that I can't use recovery tool if I don't log in as an administrator...

  Can someone please help? Y at - it factory default password?

  Thanks to you all!

  Hello

  To be honest, your announcement confused me a bit especially the part where you wrote: but when I select Administrator as a user. I don't understand what you mean with it.
  But first some basic information:

  Can you imagine you use Toshiba notebook with the settings and someone will make a joke and use the F8 option and reinstall Vista. All of your settings, data and pre-installed software will be gone. Or can someone just use cell phones stolen to get around Vista secure password for laptop and do clean install of Vista using F8 option.

  To avoid this Toshiba has this security feature and each try to reload Vista password OS will be refused. So if you use the password to log in to Vista the same password will be required before the installation of recovery begins. By default, there is no password and the name of the administrator account will be shown when you start the recovery procedure. When you enter the correct password, the installation will continue.

  So much about the theory. I don't know how you do and which account you use, but the fact is, without administration account name and correct password, you won't be able to install Vista using this HARD drive recovery option.

• The system recovery disk - how do without floppy drive?

  I am trying to create a "system recovery disk" as part of the TOSSHIBA ASSIST (protect and fix the section).

  However, before we proceed, I noted that he was invited to a 'floppy' create a recovery disc but this model without this facility data can be recorded on a CD. I didn't get throughout the procedure and find that I couldn't finish it due to no floppy drive!

  Or otherwise just use the product recovery DVD - Rom supplied with the laptop in case of problem... not sure if this would hold the same data?

  Any help is appreciated!

  Hello Christine

  If you look carefully on this print option (shortcut) it is written to create the CD drivers & tools and in aria info nothing follow description allows to create an external symbol to the top of the caisse de dépôt drivers & tools.

  You use this shortcut, you can simply create Tools & Utilities CD and not the system recovery media. I did a few times without any problem. Equip your optical drive for CD - R, click on this shortcut, click the button BURN.

  All that s!

• Portable CQ58, disk recovery "this computer is not supported by the system recovery media.

  Hello HP,.

  I have a laptop CQ58-bf9WM, which had Windows 8.1.  The 320 GB hard drive died and bought a new SATA 500 GB laptop.  had no CD recovery, went online, enter all the important information, serial No., model #, then purchased through HP recovery disk, received the CD (manufacturer 708896-001, 708895-001 708897-001) and put #1 disc in the CD started and that's what I get: this computer is not supported by the system recovery media.  You will not be able to continue to recover this system with these media.  "Error: 0100-169-1855-188 b" then you have the OK, then when you press OK, the laptop shuts down.  I pressed ESC on POST, then I tested memory and the new hard drive and they both passed.  HELP PLEASE!  Thank you

  Should not have anything to do with the new hard-both disk that is at least equal or greater than original ability, they work. It is 'possible' that you have received the wrong set of recovery.

  Thing of OE to check. Enter the BIOS by pressing F10 immediately after turning on (have to press ESC, then F10 to the menu). Is the serial number, model number.etc all intact?

• ThinkVantage Button takes me to the system recovery after HARD drive partition

  Hello

  I recently bought a W520 with 4 GB of RAM.

  I bought 3 branches of more than 4 GB each, installed and everything was fine. Also, I shrunk the C: drive and created a new disk (D:\) from space, that I rescued after the reduction of the volume.

  When I start the laptop and you want to enter the BIOS setup by pressing the blue ThinkVantage button, she won't go to the BIOS Setup. Rather, it passes through the system recovery options.

  What gives? How can I go to the BIOS Setup?

  Thank you in advance.

  Continuously when the system starts, press F1.

  Original title: photos of lost.

  my photos have disappeared since I ran the system recovery. Can I get back them?

  Please tell us exactly what you mean by "system recovery." And exactly how you did.

  If you mean the system recovery provides the manufacturer of your computer, what it does is to restore the computer to the State it is in when it left the factory. Yes, all your photos and anything else put you on the disk is gone.

• Hi, not really a new Member, but I'm having difficulty with the system recovery.

  I have an Acer Aspire 7741Z, I know he's older. It has windows 7 Home premium on it. I guess the hard drive went bad because I replaced it and it seemed to work. I put the system recovery discs that I bought at Acer last week and it rises to display disk copy files and looks like it loads the images file. But then it stops and gives me an error message that says "do not copy the file to the HARD drive. File G:\Images\WOP000400OENSC121103. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT.  I'm not worried about record data at this stage, just try to get the computer to work.  I don't know if I was sent a 'bad' disc or what.  Any suggestion would be great.

  Alexa

  Good for you! I suppose that insufficient disk space might also explain why the installation stopped at the same place.

  Try typing F2 when you first see the Acer bios screen to get back into the bios menu. Make sure your new hard drive is first in the boot order. F10 to exit and save the settings.
