Recovered / Reset to 8.0 USB but no start - problem UEFI?

I did have problems starting from the recovery USB I did.  I used it as shown in line to start and do a full restore, which erased all files and took 90 minutes to completely redo the partition.  After the reboot, it starts at the USB again.  I shut down the computer and remove the USB key.  When you try to boot from the hard drive, it goes into the Start Menu.

  1. I can boot from USB no matter what UEFI mode I select, go to the command line and see all partitions using DISKPART
  2. I did all orders bootrec.exe recommended to correct, fix the mbr.
  3. I ran bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd with the appropriate settings.
  4. I can see all partitions, including the hidden factory default image (which I believe has been copied to the USB recovery.)
  5. I can access C: (started from USB X :) and the file system is there.
  6. I went to the BIOS: enabled Secure Boot, tried three of the UEFI/Legacy Boot options.
  7. I have not deleted the license keys in BIOS.
  8. I ran all the software utility tests available from menu start/applications.
  9. I have rerun the restore again without any error or change in the situation.
  10. I called Lenovo support and they require a software support contract.  (With 24 years of experience, I'm not quite ready to pay to be frustrated until I have try the forums).

I have several other available systems, so I try to run Windows 8.1 Overview for a week or two.  I thought my recovery would be the simple step to get back to Windows 8.  I mention this last because I think that the format of the deleted partition 8.1 all system and I face with a BIOS issue that is what he thinks the start is an illegal operating system.  But I guess that I would get a message.

UPDATE: according to me, this is a question of UEFI.  So that the USB repartition and reset the hard drive, I have to turn on Legacy support.  Otherwise, it indicates that the partition/disk is too small.  I come back and re - activate the UEFI mode in the BIOS, and it still does not boot to HD.

Hi Paul,.

  • Aspire M5 - 481 how to recover the Ghost image on USB

    I have Windows 7 Home Premimum on my M5-481.  I've successfully created a ghost a full backup of the "C:" drive on a USB key.  Now, I discovered I have a corrupt application that cannot be fixed by the seller.  So I want to recover the Aspire using Ghost backup.

    My problem is that the recovery of the Ghost BACK does not see the USB. I checked the BIOS and can't see a parameter to allow a native USB drive.

    So, any suggestions on how to make the USB drive visible to the BACK, or I could try to use a network storage device?

    Thank you

    Well, I was finally able to restore my Aspire, but it wasn't easy.  Here's what I did:

    1. I opened the BACK of eRecovery application and choose "restore windows and data."
    2. I have 4 DVD of my Acer Image backup.  Disc 1 took about an hour to process, then I got a "read error" about 1/2 on disc 2.  If the recovery has been abandoned.
    3. Fortunately, I have a purchased set of official Acer DVD recovery.  But failure at step 2 must have really messed up something because I couldn't open the Acer Recovery (Windows error) program.  So I couldn't use my Acer recovery disks.
    4. But, last resort, I booted from my DVD of Ghost and he finds the restore point I did a week ago.  I was actually able to restore the PC from a USB hard drive.  Problem solved after about 8 hours of stress.

    I think I need to stick with Ghost to backup / recovery.

    I can't find that any information how to do this from a windows machine (now only available) of the old system had the lion as I was told and when trying to install lion line or wireless it says it isn't available now so the machine is stuck without an operating system.

    If you are anywhere near an Apple Store, I would suggest bringing your MBP to and asking to help. For USB, you need to partition and format to allow to boot on a Mac, what Windows can not do. Then either create a bootable installer or install OS X on USB and then copy the installer it, boot from it and run the installer with the SSD as a target.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you are in a really difficult situation that's going to be almost impossible to fix.

    First, there are the ways, if you have the Windows installation media, to repair missing system files - but you probably don't have that, and even if you did, your optical drive would have to work in order to be able to read the media.

    Second, you may want to restore your PC to its original state using HP recovery media, but there are two problems with this: (1) HP stores not more to your PC and your optical drive would need to work in order to use it (2) is a set of a DVD and a CD.

    To restore your PC to the operating status, you'll need to be able to start using Windows disc media.  One way that COULD work is if you use an external DVD/CD drive plugged into a port USB - but for this to work, your PC must be bootable (1) and (2) be able to boot from USB.  IF these two are not true, then you can not restore it - the way it is.

    Here are a few troubleshooting steps when your PC won't start - you can try them and see if everything works: computer won't start (Windows 7, Vista, XP) | HP® customer support

    Maybe something in this package of measures will work.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro C650: USB flash memory starts to load then crashes

    Hello

    I have my new Satellite Pro C650 laptop for about 2 weeks and there is already a problem with it.
    When I insert a flash drive into a usb drive, it starts to load, but as soon as it loads it crashes as if I disconnected, and then start loading again again and again until I have unplug it really.

    The flash disk works fine on other computers, so it shouldn't be the problem.
    Device Manager indicates that my drivers are ok.
    Is not only the USB flash drive mouse works fine when I plug in usb...

    Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?
    If so, thanks in advance

    Hello

    Strange in your case I recommend you test another USB key into the Satellite laptop. I know you have tested this stick in other laptops, but it would be interesting to know how the other USB key would be instrumented C650.

    I recommend in addition updated the operating system Windows and the BIOS to the latest status.
    In addition, you should go to Device Manager and delete the list of devices USB controllers. Then restart the device and wait for windows has installed again all the USB controllers.

  • Laptop HP Pavilion dv6 - 3016 s: USB (device not recognized) problems

    Hello

    on my laptop (Pavilion dv6-3016sl, bought in 2010) for a few months the USB connections give many problems with different devices.

    The first issue with the key external communication 3G (ONDA TM201) Internet: the USB key (which has worked for many months) is not recognized. I tried to reinstall the software and drivers (get the latest version from the website of the producer), but it is always unclear correctly.

    The visible in USB Device Manager error message is "cannot start (code 10) machine.

    Recently other USB devices have ceased to be recognized: powered USB Hub (HAMA USB 2.0 Hub 1:4, bus) and the Wired Optical mouse (Logitech).

    It is also not possible to install new USB devices (for example, a device of wireless sync to a cuff of training).

    I've done many controls of Microsoft on the integrity of the system, and I frequently run the Windows Update to be aligned to the latest version of the fix.

    You have any suggestions to analyze/fix this locking problem?

    Thanks in advance,

    Moreno

    I know this may seem a rather harsh to suggest method, but at this point, I suggest backup of important things on your laptop computer to online storage. This is because you can use the USB storage for the moment.

    Once you have done this, it's time to locate your drives support usb recovery and licenses of all other programs that you have installed or recovery.

    Start on the recovery media.

    Use the HP Recovery Manager to perform a factory image recovery which will reinstall the operating system.

    Since you say that the usb ports work under Linux, then reinstalling the operating system Windows needs to solve the problem of usb port that you are experiencing.

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
