ProBook 4520 s - HP Recovery Manager?

• Recovery partition engage F11 starts after stock Win7 installed - Probook 4520 s

  Laptop: HP Probook 4520 s (with the Energy Star label)

  OS: Windows 7 32-bit

  Error: Nothing happens when you press F11 at startup

  Deliver changes: installed Windows 7 from stock disc Windows 7

  I am a PC technician with quite a few years behind me, but that gave me even after a day of research solutions to stop online.

  A friend bought a ProBook 4520 s where the previous owner, just before selling it, installed Windows 7 on a disc of Windows 7 Microsoft stock (I suppose that pros sell with a 'clean' OS), who of course ERA naked place without drivers, etc..

  When the installation has been made however, it didn't destroy the partitioning of HP (that is to say, the scores remained: SYSTEM OS (c:\), HP_RECOVERY, HP_TOOLS). These scores seem intact, so I am trying to run a HP recovery to return the computer to factory settings.
  When the computer reboots, I am asked to press 'ESC' to the options, what I do, then it prompts 'F11' for HP Recovery. When I press F11, it starts only the Windows 7 operating system as usual. With what I've managed to collect via search, I think something was disturbed on the HP_RECOVERY as the MBR partition, or something, possibly by the previous user making the active HP_RECOVERY partition, then selecting "Repair Windows" on the Windows disk.

  I tried solutions include:

  • Pressing ESC-> F11 at startup [simply boots as usual].
  • The definition of the partition HP_RECOVERY 'active' disk management, and then restart [simply boots as usual].
  • Installation "Enhanced HP Backup and Recovery Manager for Microsoft Vista" (sp38131.exe) [when it is run, and the recovery of the PC is selected, it is said there is no partition recovery and demand for drives].
  • Installation "Fix for HP Multi-Partition Recovery Manager" (sp48415.exe) suggested to the 'green post' here [no change].
  • Installation 'Recovery Manager install for Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Patch' (sp45823.exe) [no change].
  • Install "HP Recovery Manager for Microsoft Windows 7" (sp45602.exe) [no change].

  I live far from having access to the purchase of HP recovery DVDs, so need a solution for this problem, please. At most, I can download.

  The operating system in recovery, I expect Windows 7, because there is a Windows 7 sticker on the laptop.

  There is not any way I know how.

  In addition, the recovery disk is a plain OEM version without drivers or software.

  The DVD driver and application automatically installs the software and drivers that are on the recovery partition, but it is on the support page and driver of the laptop (with the exception of the DVD software, which isn't a big deal since you can play DVDs in W7 w/o any 3rd party software).

  Just download and burn the ISO using a ISO burn option and reinstall W7.

  If you can't find the drivers, please read this guide to find the hardware ID and after the first string for each of them, and I'll give you links to the drivers you need.

  http://laptop-driver.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-check-hardware-ID.html

  I always delete all the partitions and reinstall a clean OS on any PC, I am owner and download all the drivers and the software I need, anyway.

  I see no major reason for dismay.

  A recovery partition is handy to have, but once you build the PC the way you want, use the included backup and imaging tools native to all versions of W7 and create your own recovery image on a drive hard portable usb.  Can use it if you need to recover the operating system.

  What you need is the ACPI (advanced configuration protocol interface) driver for the installed processor. You can get that manufacturers are supported Web site on the processor. Intel Download Center is here.

• HP ProBook 4520 s - dual boot between Win7 64 bit and Ubuntu 10

  Hello

  I just got my new HP ProBook 4520 s a few days ago and:

  (1) there were 32 bit Windows7 professional pre-installed / pre-loaded

  (2) it comes with the TWO 32-bit and 64-bit Windows7 professional DVD HP (I guess versions OEM HP)

  (3) the HD have 4 partitions in the following order

  score A 3 a) named SYSTEM

  3 (b) the parition where Win7 is installed

  (3 c) HP_RECOVERY partition

  partition HP_TOOLS 3D)

  I did a lot of dual-boot in the past years, but my question is really related to maintain the HP diagnostic tools that arise before even that any operating system is loaded... and diagnostic tools are those of the HP_TOOLS partition. For example, when I ran some diagnostic tests, after completing the tests and the boot of Win7, I see in the HP_TOOLS partition, in one of its directories, a .log file recently updated with the results of diagnostic tests. I want to assure you that I can still run powered on the laptop even after dual-boot diagnostic tools.

  Now, since I have the DVD 32 - bit and 64 - bit, I decided I want to dual-boot between Linux and 64 bit Windows7 professional. So here's what I've done so far:

  (A) has reduced the volume of Win7 Windows computer management disk management

  (B) install Win7 64 bit on top of the existing 32-bit Win7 partition, format this partition during the installation. So no more HP utility and on the installation of 64-bit programs.

  So now I have Win7 64 bit installed and professional pre-activated since it's the same notebook. Then, I realized that I really need to delete the HP_RECOVERY partition since you can have up to 4 primary partitions. So by deleting the HP_RECOVERY partition, I will be left with 3 primary partition, then I can create an extended partition to contain other partitions for Ubuntu, etc...

  But before I delete the HP_RECOVERY partition, I want to know:

  *) When starting, before even that any operating system is loaded, HP you shows options like "Diagnostics" and "recovery". How is the computer HP laptop knows that diagnoses are in the HP_TOOLS partition? How the laptop HP ProBook 4520 s knows that recovery is in the HP_RECOVERY partition?

  *) Since I have the DVD of Win7 HP (32-bit and 64-bit), I don't really have the HP_RECOVERY partition. If I delete the partition, what will happen to this start screen which gives you the possibility of "recovery"? Of course the recovery option won "t work and I don't like, but will remove the partition HP_RECOVERY won't let me boot into Win7, or any OS besides? for example it does not validate there HP_RECOVERY partition to a place before loading Win7?

  *) Then, I want to install Ubuntu, and preferably Ubuntu (or Grub also) overwrites the MBR. I prefer Grub on EasyBCD. I can easily change the configuration of grub so I can dual-boot with Windows7... But again, my question is, where does HP maintains information about diagnostic tools that they are in the HP_TOOLS partition, like the option of the diagnostic tool loading via BIOS before even any OS is loaded. Is that information in the MBR, or is it in the partition named SYSTEM?

  Summary of the questions are therefore:

  (1) where HP keeps its information that diagnostic tools are in the HP_TOOLS partition? It is in the MBR, or the SYSTEM partition, or is it stored in the BIOS hard coded to load more precisely from the location of the partition? I want to keep the ability to run Diagnostics even after you have a dual-boot installation with grub in the MBR.

  (2) deleting the HP_RECOVERY partition will prevent the workbook from loading correctly before moving to Win7, Ubuntu or any other OS?

  Just find the answer to my original question:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c01564727/c01564727.PDF?JumpID=reg_R1002_USEN

  He uses the EFI interface and seeks a partition named HP_TOOLS, which means overwrite the MBR will not affect the operation of the HP diagnostic tools.

• BSOD BCCode 116 - generated after installing updated drivers for ATI Mobility Radeon HD display drivers for HP Probook 4520 s 5470

  I continue to work through issues with my HP Probook 4520 that is now almost 4 years with the same problem of a frozen screen.

  Today, I decided to work in seeing if there was new ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 available display drivers.

  I have the version of 15/03/2011 of the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470.  With that came the AMD Catalyst install Manager Version 3.00.0868

  .

  During his visit the HP site I saw that they had a newer version available on the graphics card available with the date of April 30, 2011 and the download file has been identified as sp52818.exe for the Version of the graphics driver to download 8.743.2-- 110315 5A - 115833C.

  In light of the penalty, that I got with my graphic display driver 15/03/2011, I decided to uninstall the drivers of my 15/03/2011 and download the drivers of 30/05/2011.

  Doing this has my computer I notified that I already have the sp52818.exe file and so I was a little confused, but I allowed him to install over my existing file.

  To install the file sp52818.exe successfully, I went to work.  Then after some time (within an hour), I got a message generated by computer at the bottom right of my screen saying a newer version of my graphics card was available at www.amd.com .

  (first thought was - why HP had it?)

  In any case... I decided to click on the suggestion box, visit www.amd.com and see what they had.  I was directed to install a driver to automatically detect the utility, and during the installation, the utility's suggestion came back that my computer can access a new graphic display driver.  I thought it was nice and so I then proceeded to of course download the .exe file for my HP probook 4520 s.  The proposed file was qualified: 13-12_mobility_win7_win8_64_dcl_ccc_whql_exe (graphic display for the ATI Radeon HD 5470 by suggestion of AMD driver.)

  Everything goes well.  It starts to download the Catalyst install Manager Version 08.00.0915, then the ATI display drivers with > .NET Framework 4.5 (I'm just observing things that are facts).  Several times the black screen comes on, but that is to be expected.  I wait patiently, and finally I see the green bar of progress.  Just as the green bars come in the end, the screen goes black again for about 1 to 2 minutes.  Then suddenly the dreaded BSOD Blue Screen of Death comes with an error message saying that something has gone wrong and closing of windows, and he mentions something about Windows display drivers.  I'm not panicking yet, but is offered the possibility of recovering and I let the computer pick up normally, and I return to the screen of welcome with happiness and connect to.

  From the entrance, the first thing I see is a Windows Error Message, I opened and saved and here provide for our education and research.

  I would like to know why the BSOD appeared, then please explain the error message that came as I was trying to install a driver recommended for my computer using download driver acceptable practices, causing me concern and frustration, as well as the 4 years of intermittent to faithfully display failure.  I'm not sending the machine backwards.  There must be a solution.

  You are right that the accident may have been caused by the newly installed ATI driver. I checked on the HP Site and there is a version of the same display offered with the same output driver date on the ATI site, so the difference may be that the version of HP's specific system, while the ATI Version is just generic, so my suggestion would be to uninstall the ATI Version and replace it with the HP driver.

• ProBook 4520 s - exchange of the wireless network card

  Hello everyone.

  I think the exchange of the wireless network card in my Probook 4520 s, due to the low flow.
  So I searched for a while a 5 Ghz supporting the card and found out that I am only able to get in the "white" cards list working. Then I looked at this page:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?lang=en & CC = US & objectid = c02487851 & jumpi...

  These cards can be any, that have been used in 4520 s. Mine (according to the Device Manager) is the Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n. This thing only supports 2.4 Ghz. Now, I looked at the list for a 5 Ghz supporting the card. I think that the 802.11A/B/G/N WLAN Intel HMC 572520-001 minicards can operate on 5 Ghz, because I read, that A appears only with maps of 2.4/5 Ghz. I read too, that maps of 2.4 / 5 GHz have 3 antennas, but on this card I only the slots for 2. Is this good? And this card would go into my 4520 s?

  Greetings,

  Colony

  Hi, colony:

  You are right about your statement about the cards being described as A/B/G/N dual-band.

  The best thing to do is look at Chapter 3 of your service manual.

  You can only order one of the cards listed as supported and it MUST have the HP reference on it or it won't work.

  I see only two possibilities for you...

  The 6200 Intel and Broadcom 4322.  Make sure you also get the part # that corresponds to what country you live.

  If your current Broadcom card has integrated Bluetooth, you will lose your Bluetooth capability if you order an integrated HP bluetooth module and probably the cable too.

  None of the dual-band cards have embedded bluetooth.

  Link to the service manual.

  http://bizsupport1.Austin.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c02439213/c02439213.PDF

  Then, you can order a card on the link below.

  If you do not live in the United States, you can change your country at the top of the page to yours.

• HP ProBook 430 G3: USB recovery enough?

  Hello!

  I have a HP ProBook 430 G3 with Windows 7. I think install Ubuntu LTS 16.04 and wipe the drive completely in the process, including the recovery partition. If I for some reason any later wanting to 'factory reset' laptop / reinstall Windows 7, a USB key with recovery media will be sufficient to insert and boot from?

  My thoughts are to use "Create recovery media" in "HP Recovery Manager' to create the USB said. Is it enough to get the laptop to factory condition?

  Any help is appreciated!

  Hello:

  Yes, it's normal procedure to recover the PC when there is no recovery partition, or you replace the hard drive.

  You can also order HP recovery media if the recovery USB disk that you create does not work.

  In the USA/Canada the number to dial is: 1-800-334-5144.

  Have the serial number of the PC handy to give to the customer service rep.

  If your laptop is still under warranty, HP can send you free of charge for you recovery disks, then you can just see if you can order a set for free while you can.

• HP ProBook 4520 s problems

  Hello

  I recently installed windows XP on my ProBook 4520 s, and I have a problem with my network controller. I can't find the driver for it, even you I've tried a few, but they did not work and I can't connect to the internet.

  Can you please give me a list of software that I install on my laptop? I know that they are in the tab support & driver but I don't really know which is useful or not for my windows XP.

  My product and serial number are: WK511EA #ABB (the product) and {removed privacy} (series)

  Hello:

  The device that you posted is your HP Bluetooth module:

  This driver and software should take care of this.

  http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=4145198&prodNameId=4145326&swEnvOID=1093&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ob-80152-1

  What is the string of letters and numbers of your wired network card device ID?  It appears in Device Manager?  If this isn't the case, you must go into your BIOS and in device configuration menu, make sure that your LAN controller is enabled. If this is the case, then set the LAN/WLAN switching for people with reduced mobility if it is set to active.

  You must save the settings, where you changed by pressing the F10 key and exit the BIOS.

• HP Probook 4520 s installed new hard drive with Windows 7 pro x 64 and drivers - very lag

  Hello

  I had my HP Probook 4520 s for 5 years and a few months ago, he started to become very lag, especially when you use the internet, streaming video and games.

  I thought I had identified the problem as a bad sector on the hard drive and so I bought a new hard drive and upgraded the RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB at the same time.

  When I installed the new hard drive, I couldn't burn an image of my old hard drive (it would stop during the process and was unable to do so because of an error). I used my little HP Windows 7 Pro x 64 operating system DVD and your HP Application and Driver Recovery DVD to install the necessary drivers on my replacement new drive.

  The RAM and the new hard drive seem to be good, however, it's more lag. I tried to use latancy monitors to see if the drivers are the issue. It seems that there is a huge amount of latancy and my CPU is at an almost constant usuage of 100%.

  LatancyMon points in the following drivers: usbport.sys, tcip.sys, acpi.sys, iastor.sys, ndis.sys, dxgkrnl.sys and so on.

  I've seen forums where they will guide you step by step how to determine what drivers are causing latancy. This I could do although he always seems to change drivers who are the cause of the problem and there seems to be a lot of pilots of causing this problem it is so difficult to bring out here that one. In addition, there seems to be no solution to these problems. The only one offered is to update the offending drivers. This does not solve the problem with lag and the latancy yet.

  Any ideas?

  P.s. I really don't know not what is the underlying issue is here so I don't know if this is the right forum to post in. Drivers may not at all be the issue, I spent the last four weeks trying to solve this problem.

  Hello skinandbones13

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  I understand that you have a problem with your laptop. However, since it is a commercial laptop, you should post your question on the map cell of the HP Enterprise Forums for a better answer.

• ProBook 4520 s: product key for Windows 7 - unreadable sticker.

  Hello.

  The Windows pre-installed on the Probook 4520 s has been reinstalled with killing all the partitions on the HARD disk. Only after I saw that the product key on the sticker is unreadable. Is it possible to recover this key, if I have the serial number of the laptop?

  Thank you.

  Hello:

  Unfortunately, HP and Microsoft will issue replacement of OEM product keys, and HP doesn't keep track of the keys.

  Your only recourse will be to order a set of recovery disks from HP that will not need product key.

  If you live in the USA/Canada, call this number... 1-800-334-5144.

  Have the serial number of the PC handy to give to the customer service rep.

• ProBook 4520 s: updates to driver for all components

  Salvation; I read the posts on the update of the drivers on the ProBook 4520 s and I do not understand that we should select the most recent drivers from the drop-down list under EACH item listed.  I'm still a bit confused, however.  Some components have several drivers listed under them, some of which have different names/Descriptions.  I need to know WHICH of these "components named" is installed on my ProBook?  Alternatively, they are ALL different names in EACH of the installed components?  I'm afraid to install the wrong drivers if I select just the most recent review date, irrespective of the name/description.  I have had my ProBook 4520 s about 5 years and NEVER updated ALL drivers (that I can remember).  I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit with the Intel Core i5 460 M/2.53 GHz Quad Core processor, a 320 GB Serial ATA-300, 7200 RPM hard drive and a HD Graphics Dynamic video memory technology Intel graphics controller, etc., etc.  The problems I encounter are: it is slow to start, it delayed opening opening sites & programs & there is a power outage occasional temporary graphics (gel?).  So, at the very least, I think that my graphic card driver needs to be updated.  But surely most other pilots must update as well.  (And Internet HP site lists a ton of drivers when I plug my ProBook.  I use my laptop every day and have not had a major problem.  I recently had to update the drivers on my HP printer, and even if the printer is NOW printing again, I ALWAYS shows an error on the ProBook (when I go in devices & printer from the control panel), on the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-all-in-one. As the error message did not disappear after I solved the printing problem, I think it's probably a good idea to update ALL the drivers in my ProBook before I start to experience more problems... Is someone can you PLEASE help me understand WHAT drivers should I install and in WHAT order, so I do not screw up my ProBook?  Thank you very much!  I appreciate all help.

  Go to the Device Manager in Control Panel, check the names of the devices under each category. Download the latest version of the one you want from the HP support page depending on the installed operating system

• HP Probook 4520 s running extremely slow

  Hello

  recently my laptop have been slow (almost at a standstill). I suspected at first, it was a virus, but a test of the virus found nothing. So, I formatted my OS partition and installed Windows 7 Professional and that the essential software that I use. After a short time (1 day), he started running slow. among other things, I freed disk space, but it did not help.

  Then I ran the BIOS boot and test drive, and both returned "error: read failureError: failed to read.
  Help, please.

  Record everything you keep on an external hard drive. You have discovered why she was slowing down. Your hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

  The BIOS hard drive Diagnostics is an excellent utility for troubleshooting.

  If your Probook 4520 is still under warranty, contact HP for a replacement hard drive.

  If is no longer in warranty, it's time to buy a replacement hard drive. Once you have installed the new break of hard disk on the set of recovery disks or USB recovery media that you have made.

  Your Probook 4520 s uses a SATA hard drive 9.5 mm, 6.35 cm (2, 50-in). I do not recommend using a SATA3 drive for possible compatibility issues.

  A SATA or SATA2 SSD also works and will be a performance gain true if you choose to go this route.

• Hello.. I have laptop (hp probook 4520 s), keyboardis does not.

  Hello.. I have laptop (hp probook 4520 s), keyboardis does not. only the letters 'B' and 'n' How do I reactivate? because when I use a keyboard external usb it works? Help, please

  Helder salvation,

  Did you of recent changes made to your computer?

  We will reinstall the internal keyboard drivers and check.
  
  a. click Start, type Control Panel in the search box, press enter, click System, click Device Manager, click on keyboard.
  b. you should find the internal keyboard part as well as any external keyboard used.
  c. right-click on the keyboard integrated in the list, click on uninstall.
  d. unplug the external keyboard.
  e. restart the computer and check if the keyboard internal works.

  Since the external USB keyboard works, if drivers did not fix the internal keyboard problem, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer to check if there is a hardware problem.

  Hope the above information helps.
