Pravilion dv7 series replaced after the recovery disk hard drive failure

I tried to use the portion of my drive recovery hard when my laptop Pavilion dv7-4173 US could not operate.  After trying the hard drive recovery part several times I got an error message saying that the bootmgr is missing. I tried using the recovery discs I got to the store, I bought the computer before taking it home, and they failed. They worked up to 32% and then stopped.  I took the laptop and recovery (6 discs) disks to the tech Department of another retail store. After several days, I learned the recovery disc where no good/damaged. When I contacted the store bought told me that I had to bring in the laptop and recovery disks. They replaced the hard drive, saying: that was the problem, but do not partition. They decided to classified until the system OS of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit., but did not try the recovery disks. Can I use the recovery disk, they made me, if are good restore the laptop back to factory new?  I know he will place the operating system Windows 7 Home back on the computer, but I want that all return provided with computer programs. I'll be able to upgrade the Professional operating system? I have the disc of Windows 7 Professional.  If my restore disk will not work, can I use the recovery disc, only 2 discs instead of 6, I can buy from HP and then move on to professional?

Thank you.  Computer to factory fresh.  Just update software and then go to Windows 7 Professional

  • Recovery and hard drive failure

    System information:

    HP Pavilion dv4-2045dx

    HARD drive: Seagate series ATA Disc Drive (7200 RPM) 320

    OS: Windows 7

    After diagnosis that my hard drive has failed (the original supplied with the notebook), I bought a WD Scorpio 250 GB (5400 RPM) SATA to replace. I ran a diagnostic system on the HP splash screen and it found the new HDD very well. Because my old hard drive contained all the partitioned system recovery, I can't get it back using the player because it no longer works.

    I was hoping to do a recovery of the system with the DVD, I did when I got the computer on the new drive hard, but during the process it has detected that the drive was much smaller than the original and would not allow me to proceed. I don't know what I can do now.

    Do I need another HARD drive with the same requirements as that of the restoration of the system with the DVD, I made? Or am I just bad luck?

    Hello

    It is a problem with the recovery discs do not like a drive smaller than the original.

    However, it is an easy work around if you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to the retail version accurate, you would need.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key Windows located on the underside of your laptop when requested and when installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally delivered with OEM installations.

    Hello!

    I put t know what is the reason for this BSOD when installing, but you can post the BSOD code? For example, you can search based on Microsoft Knowledge for this code.

    In addition, I would try to update the BIOS of your laptop that you can find on the Toshiba site:

    After you have updated the BIOS to try to update the WLAN and LAN card driver, or try to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Yet, I have a small partition hidden and thought that waas of hard drive recovery.
    What do you think of this? Can I delete these files on D:?
    When restart us the computer after pressed F8, is associated with the files to D: or hidden partition recovery option.

    Thanks in advance

    Boulbar

    Hello

    I'll try to provide answers.
    > I wanted to record video data on D: and was surprised to find some hdd files and folders reverie about it.
    The same situation is on all laptops come with HARD drive recovery image. Recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery. It is recommended to create recovery DVDs using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. When the recovery DVD is created, you can delete these files and use of recovery DVDs for the operating system installation.
    Otherwise the partitions are large enough, and you should leave this file here. Just define it as hidden and you won't.
    > Again, I have a small partition hidden and thought that hard drive recovery waas on that.
    This small partition has nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery image. Recovery image Toshiba is large enough and cannot be saved on small partition.
    > When restart us computer after pressing F8, is associated with the files to D: or hidden partition recovery option.
    They are related to the folder HDDRecovery and recovery stored image. When you delete drive recovery option HARD is no longer available.

  • Satellite 2450-101 after the 60 GB HARD drive upgrade, made only to see 30 GB

    Hello world

    I'm new to this forum. I own a 2450-101, a little old man, real it´s, but still a very nice PC. Harman-Kardon louspeakers make it very useful for music.

    I would switch the HD, so I installed a new 60 GB (the maximum taken in charge, I said) and used the recovery CD.

    Everything worked perfectly, but it seems that only 30 GB can be seen by Windows. I heard, that I might need to update the BIOS. Mine is version 1.50.

    After a long search through sites Toshiba and the Inetrnet, I can only find updates the BIOS for the new models...

    only reference I've seen is on this page: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000000b07, but

    Yet once I don't find Bios for my model.
    Please any help would be really appreciated ;)

    Hello

    You are right. This laptop is a bit old, but very nice. It provides performance enough for someone in need of this laptop only for everyday use.

    As for you statement about 60 GB of HARD drive. Well, I m a bit confused.
    How did you check the size of the HARD drive and why you say that it recognize only 30 GB?
    How did you check that? And you are sure that you have installed and 60 GB HARD drive?

    I recommend to check the size in disk management!

    With regard to the BIOS;
    The BIOS for this laptop is on the Toshiba driver page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    There, you have to search in archive Archive Satellite Satellite 24xx Satellite 2450-101.
    As far as I know the BIOS 1.50 is available on the page!

  • iMac 27 "mid-2011 hard drive failed, fan to full after the removal of HARD drive

    iMac (27 inch, mid 2011)

    2.7 Ghz i5

    12 GB of RAM

    I have a fault where the HARD drive fan runs at max speed (RPM 5431, 51 * C temp).

    The first symptom was a rattling noise from the factory 1 TB HARD drive, which has disappeared from the system, to be replaced by a disk of 4 GB in size. Then the fan started running at max speed.

    A few months ago, I installed a 2nd drive HARD, an SSD and use this to all the data, so the 1 TB drive HARD original was basically unused and empty. To try and stop the fan and also run the disk diagnostics failed I've removed it from the iMac. However the HARD drive fan is always full.

    I ran the Apple Hardware Test and received the error message: 4SNS/1/40000000: TH00 - 9,000

    Given the primary SATA HDD is now removed, I also set the temperature probe? Are there other fixes to this problem of fan? I didn't intend on replacing the HARD disk immediately that this is not necessary at this stage.

    Thank you!

  • Windows Vista - after the RESTORE partition HARD drive: WINDOWS COULD NOT COMPLETE the INSTALLATION. TO INSTALL WINDOWS ON THIS COMPUTER, RESTART THE INSTALLATION

    Hello

    I have WINDOWS VISTA and just tried to reinstall my laptop of restoration on a HARD disk partition.

    The restore went through, but then I got the error: WINDOWS COULD NOT COMPLETE the INSTALLATION. TO INSTALL WINDOWS ON THIS COMPUTER, RESTART THE INSTALLATION

    When I press 'OK' (which is the only option), it tries to start again, until I get the same error through the black screen.

    How can I get out of this loop please?

    Hello

    For any problem with the help of the recovery Partition that has been copied to the hard disk by the computer manufacturer, you must contact them.

    This recovery process is the manufacturer, not Microsoft.

    ________________________________________________

    You never told us why you wanted to do a restore. If you had serious errors and the recovery process does not work, you will have hardware problems. BUT we're only guessing at this stage due to lack of information to help you.

    See you soon.

  • Should I initialize a New (New to this computer, but it's a backup with the DATA disk) HARD drive?

    I have an internal backup drive that I used for a computer that crashed.   Hard drive that had the operating system gone wrong. I'm sure that the backup drive (no operating system, only the Acronis backup data) is ok.  I took, put it in a box of hard drive and plugged on my other computer to get all the data out of it. It is recognized in but device manager not MY computer.   Information have read so far wants choose me to go to right click on my computer, Manage, and chose the disk management.  Then he wants me to initialize the disk. The information said once the disk initialized, I should be able to access all data on the disk.  I do? I don't want to erase all data on the disk. I prefer to take it to a PRO for $100 if there is even a small chance I could damage or erase the data on the disc. Please notify.

    Do not initialize the disk.  That would erase all data.  It is possible that the hard disk enclosure does not work right, causing Vista to see the player correctly as not initialized.

    Did you create Acronis Secure Zone on the drive for backups?  If so, you will need to use the same program from Acronis to access. It would be interesting to boot from the Acronis recovery disc and see if it can read backups. Boulder computer Maven

  • How to regenerate the thumbnails of the Photos after the restoration of hard drive?

    Hello!

    A few weeks ago, our drive hard iMac failed and was repaired under the hard drive replacement program. I have restored our our last backup system, but all of our photo in photo thumbnails are black or white with no details. When we open a photo, that is, but the thumbnails are not visible, making navigation impossible.

    I tried to repair the library. Who did nothing.

    I tried to turn the photos. Turning the last import (300 photos) two-way regenerated the thumbnails OK, but it took 6.5 minutes. I 80 000 pictures. According to my estimate, that makes a little more than 12 days (assuming a linear extrapolation, in any case), during which my CPU will be under a lot of stress.

    I also noticed that the rotation thing has no effect for videos.

    So I thought, as a last resort before putting my Mac in two weeks of enforced non-toucher, I would like to ask if anyone had other ideas.

    Also, does anyone know how to regenerate the photos to the videos?

    Thanks in advance!

    -Mike

    Try first to turn a lot of direction tiles 90 ° and 90 ° backward.  See if that will restore them.  If it works then make lots at once, not the entire library.

    If it does not try to repair the library according to the instructions in this document to Apple: Repair Your Library.

    Warning: If you use iCloud photo library with Photos, this operation will lead to Photos to upload all your pictures again (of difficulty missing or incorrect thumbnails in photo - Apple Support).

    In fact you have reloaded the operating system?  If not, the new drive is empty - it's why you see the message you see.

    You will need all the recovery media, as you did when you received the system - or, if you do not prepare a set, you will need to call Dell to buy a flash drive with the media today.  The alternative is to download Windows 10 TH2, of the same version (standard, pro) that has been installed and activated previously.  You can then reload the operating system.
