Pavillion dv7 recovery not work

I got my recovery disks (both disks one and two and the driver and application disks) to retrieve my dv7.  I tried several times to have the work of recovery.  All files seem to copy on the hard drive ok and I inserted the disc Driver and Application when it prompts for the additional disk.  It fills all copies of files, then go to restore the files on the hard drive and this is the problem starts.  While he made the first fine reboot and begins the process of restoration, after a minute, he is saying the recovery process has failed.  The error I get is no indicator of operating system is defined on the device and he wants to get me into the eeprom to establish it.  Anyone know what is really going on here?  I had already installed Linux on the system, and that's what I'm trying to get rid of.

Hello

Recovery discs HP to read a "tattoo" on the chip of the bios in order to validate, that they are used on the correct machine, but also the other parameters and it would look like this is where the error occurs.

One way around this problem is to create your own installation disc Windows 7 of the "Detail" that will not be subject to this restriction.

Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 full 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 Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop that is listed under Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) 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.  The source of the Windows Image is - Digital River.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

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.

All pilots additional and the software, you may need can be found here.

  • Drive HARD Win 7 recovery does not work on Satellite L750

    Hello

    I have the Toshiba Satellite L750 with preinstaled win 7.

    I instaled the upgrade to win 8 (from dvd).

    After that I improve the MS site to Win 8.1 System.

    The system does not work properly (DVD is not recognized) so I have to install previuos system.

    First of all, I'm improving my BIOS for the new one - 3.60.

    After that I try to win 7 reinstal my HDD recovery (which is located on the d partition). But it does not work: it has been impossible to start recovering in the menu of the bios (F8 key does not work, it was only possible to press F2 or F12).

    So I have to install my dvd 8.0 Win and now I have it and it works. But this is only a clear system without any addons like nero, ms office etc.

    My question is how do reinstal win 7 of my hard drive recovery that I always on the d partition?
    in the bios the F8 key does not work.

    After clean OS installation installation of HARD drive recovery not working anymore. If you want to have the original image of recovery preinstalled on your machine, you must use recovery DVDs.
    I assume that you did not create this disc, right?

    In the user s manuals document clearly described how it works with the image recovery and the creation of recovery disks.

  • Installation of recovery did not work

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop 6b113eo. In recent months, I've been strugling with my graphics card, for some reason, it appeared it has used only the graphics chip integrated in World of Tanks. I tried to update the other drivers and driver GPU, but it didn't work, so I thought that it is easier put the computer portable all-in factory settings and start over.

    Format of the BONE went well, no so copy the files for the installation of the OS, but install Windows 7 itself did not work. He stopped just before the installer was ready. A log file has been provided after the error, if you can me how can I download on HP personal and you may then check what is the problem with the installation. I didn't recovery media (dvd), but rather try to reset the computer via the HP recovery software. Can I somehow make the DVD from the recovery partition or do I need to purchase the separate installation media where it is impossible to install OS without DVD?

  • Mac mini (late 2012) flashing - question mark folder recovery does not work

    Hi all

    earlier today, I upgraded my Mac mini (end 2012) to the latest version of macOS Sierra.

    After 1 hour of use, I realized that many of my plugins FCPX were not working.

    I contacted the developers, and they said does not update the plugins and they told me to go back to El Capitan.

    I decided to listen to them and try to downgrade my OS.

    I restarted the Mac and held down Cmd - R or something like that that took me to the disk utility screen.

    Then I went down to dinner, and when I returned 30 minutes later my Mac had entered the sleep mode for some reason any.

    I woke up the Mac and 40 seconds later the power went out for 5-10 minutes.

    After the blackout, I restarted my Mac that took me to a black screen with a flashing question mark folder.

    I followed some tutorials online (including how to enter get - and the recovery of internet mode), but after a while even restoration of the internet shows me the flashing question mark folder.

    I don't know what to do.

    And no - unfortunately I don't have a Time Machine backup.

    But I have a backup with all my most important files.

    Is it possible to force the Mac to reset itself or something like that?

    Help, please.

    Best regards

    Hello

    On the Toshiba Recovery CD there is image that includes the operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba tools and some applications provided by Toshiba. Recovery CD is bootable and should be used only for the installation of the operating system.

    Tools & Utilities CD contained all the drivers, tools and utilities that you need for the use of portable computers. It is not bootable.

    If you want the updated CD-ROM boot CD device recovery CD. Press the power button / stop and keep the button C until CD-ROM starts to read the restore CD.
    Follow the instructions on the screen.

    Before doing this, you can also check in BIOS's power Mode option. If you can find it please choose boot option.

    I have load to start computer press F12, and it starts on the DVD. It says "Loading RAMDISK Image", after which I am told by Toshiba customer service there should be options to clean up the hard drive or restore Windows XP.

    Someone help me please.

    Hello

    The recovery procedure is not difficult.
    Just try to boot from the recovery CD or DVD and follow the Guide on the screen line.

    Your problem is very strange. You have created all the partitions on the HARD drive?
    I put really t know why your recovery CD doesn't work properly, but I think you should try to completely format the disk (also partitions), then try to boot from the recovery CD.

    Don't forget that the laptop is in the boot mode. (don t mix the standby or hibernation mode)

  • Win 7 64 bit HP recovery CD does not work

    Hi all

    I ordered the HP Windows 7 64 bit recovery CD and it doesn't work.

    When it separates partitions, and it displays its progress as usual for example

    1/7 full
    2/7 full
    3/7 full (files copied etc..)

    but around 3/7 or 4/7, the sound of the CD in road changes and it seems that it restarts continually.

    I am confident that the problem is related to this CD because the other disks work properly and the 32-bit recovery CD, I had with laptop computer reinstalled Windows very well.

    I wonder what could happen? I have contacted the company on this topic and am waiting to hear. I see no damage to the evidence on the record, and I take great care in general. All I know is it does not work. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Have you tested if the laptop would start using another bootable Linux Live CD, WinPE or Win XP disc?
    Please check that would help determine if the problem is related to the computer laptop or recovery disk.

    Please also check if the HARD drive is ok. For this test, you can use a test called Drive Fitness Test free HARD drive tool. Google for it.

    However, it could also be a defective recovery disc and in this case, you should get in touch with the guys where you ordered this drive may be you need a replacement.
