Recovery discs - yes another one of these positions

Hello I am currently abit of a difficult situation. My company directed soley on computers laptops lenovo (yes I really like the product) which vary from R52, T42 for new T61s, I recently had a problem with an employee being stolen abroad, he recovered the laptop but its bag (cables, disks and all) were all gone. Now, its time to format of spring cleaning and I have enough recovery disc for all laptops I'm formatting. Y at - it a procedure for recovery disks doing?

Restore disks use a Volume license key, and the same number of keys is allowed for use on thousands of thinkpads.
As long as you have a certificate of authenticity for the version of windows installed, you are OK.

  • How to recover my computer to factory settings? How to buy recovery discs and which ones?

    I recently bought a used computer on craigslist.  It's a HP Pavilion a6700f.  He came originally with Vista, but the previous owner installed Windows 7 32 on it.  I want to put it back to factory settings, but I can't seem to do it without the recovery disks, which I did not.  I have tried F11 at startup, but the system recovery won't be open in this way for a reason any.  I tried to buy HP recovery disks, but they only for Windows Vista 64-bit.  I'm not sure if my computer came with Vista 64 bit or -34, although she has 34 bit Windows 7 right now.  How can I recover the computer to factory settings?  Can I buy the Vista 64-bit recovery discs and use them?  Will they work?  Thank you.

    Hello

    The command system will work for you given that provide you the product id of your machine. Please use the following link, it should tell you that the original operating system:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07143

    Good luck.

    ps. Based on the following link, its original operating system was:

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium with Windows Media Center with Vista Service Pack 1 (64-bit)

  • Creation of recovery Partition on another OS disks

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    "HP Pavilion dv3655ee Entertainment Notebook PC
    Product number: fw750ea
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hello

    My laptop came with Vista pre-installed 32-bit windows, but later, I installed a new copy of Windows 7 (32Bits), without the recovery disks. Now I want to go back to vista, I still have the D Partition that contains the files for recovery, but goes to F11 does not help me.

    After doing some research, I discovered that people were able to start in the successfully recovery partition after changing the drive to "active partition". But that did not help me.

    Any suggessions on how to make the D partition within windows recovery disc 7 and then use these discs to install the original OS back?

    Thanks in advance!

    I came across the solution finally! (At least worked for me fine)
    Ref: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and/Re-F11-HP-recovery-doesn-t-boot-into-recovery-partition/td-p/217062

    I'll just write down my problem and get the detailed procedure of the solution for someone who lands directly on this post

    Problem:
    My hp laptop came with pre-installed vista, I installed a new copy of Windows 7 top without the recovery disks, but the recovery partition is still there. However, I'm unable to use the F11 option at the start of the goto system recovery.

    Solution:

    I downloaded, installed & registered: Paragon Backup Recovery (free) software
    Then, I open the software and created a Startup disk from the menu 'Tools'.

    After that, I started my laptop with this drive.
    At startup, the disc gives you options 2 and 3, the last option was to select "look for other OS on your PC" that one:
    He found two OS for me
    Windows Vista
    Windows Vista (Recovery)

    I chose windows vista (Recovery) option and it starts to repair the system directly.
    From there on, I chose Windows 7 (the current operating system on the system) and sailed for repair options.
    The last option in the list was "Recovery Manager"
    In the HP Recovery Manager , I chose 'System Recovery'
    It took about 20 minutes
    Fact... !

    Don't forget to do the recovery discs this time to avoid this in the future!

    ----------------------
    Other solutions possible that I came on during my research: (both solutions did not work for me)

    1. install the new windows 7 so-called removes the features of F11
    Download and install this patch from HP for the problem of the F11 at startup.

    2. If you can't find the option to restore the system using the recovery on your pc partition
    Right click on my computer -> Manage -> Disk managementt-> right click the recovery drive and set as "Active Partition"-> Reboot and automatically it brings you to the system restore.

  • Need recovery disc for a new disc of AF. Where can I buy these?

    My original for HP hard drive model p6267c died and I had to buy a new one.  However, the recovery disks that I made when I bought the computer do not work.  I found a page on the HP Support pages that show this is a known issue with the Advanced Format of AF drives which is what is my new drive and my original recovery disks will not work which they do not.  Recovery does not have the operating system in scores on the right for it to start Windows.

    The page that displays it is: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03509131

    However, it says to contact HP Support.  My computer is no longer under warranty and he said I have to pay to call, send, or cat who is ridiculous.  If not, how can I get this new set of discs without being on the telephone or in a chat for a long silver cost period just know where to order these discs.

    I need drives for Windows 7.  I tried to purchase the full version of Windows 7, but can't find it otherwise, I would have been this route.  I tried to use Norton Ghost to copy my information from the old drive to the new without success.  I also tried restoring a backup and discovery of Windows is damaged.  It's my only option other than to get a new computer.

    I'm afraid that if I just ordered the new drives online, I couldn't correct records.  I have need of those shown on the link above and not those similar to what I created myself.  I appreciate a link to a page where I can order the new for readers of the AF.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I don't see any way to get these 'up-to-date' recovery discs of HP, other than calling them.  However, there is a free and legitimate way to create your own Windows 7 installation disc as shown below.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( must be the same version that originally came with your PC - IE 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 that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a very respected source (Digital River).

    Images of Windows 7.

    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.

    Hi all

    I have the Satellite A100-784, which comes with Vista Home...
    How could I make another copy of the DVD from my recovery disc?

    Also, I don't have the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator... is downloadable?

    Hello

    You n t have the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator, because this Toshiba Software is preinstalled on laptops equipped with HARD drive recovery option.
    I presume that you have received a Toshiba Recovery disk this laptop doesn t allow HARD drive recovery.
    Therefore, you cannot create a new DVD of recovery using the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator.

    What you could do is to copy the supplied recovery disk.

    One set of "Recovery disc" made on a specific model / product number should work on any other computer in the same exact model / product number. While each computer can have a unique Windows product key on the COA affixed to the computer, this key is not used by HP to activate Windows.

    HP and all the other major computer manufacturers generally use a system known as OEM SLP (System locked pre-ignition). This system allows many (dozens or hundreds of thousands) computers to be preactivated by using the same exactly OEM SLP key and OEM SLP certificate with a corresponding SLIC table in BIOS of the computer.

    You don't need to change anything, because that's the way the process is designed.

    Hello

    The drive came with the laptop or you did it yourself in the recovery Partition?

    And you're supposed to boot from the recovery disc to start the recovery process.

    You change the Boot order to make the CD/DVD drive first in the boot order. Then, you start from the disc.

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  • Recovery disc for a pre-installed Ubuntu 14n (only) flag

    I bought a HP Pavilion 14-n258tx Notebook PC provided with Ubuntu preinstalled OS. A DVD of Windows 8.1 bought separatel with 8 GB of memory.

    I've manually updated Ubuntu to 14.04 faithful version. I created a new partition and loaded Windows 8.1. The laptop doesn't have a touch screen support. However, I do not use the 'Metro' Windows 8 features. My tablet is for that. There are a few features provided with Windows 8 "non-metropolitan" mode and I pretty much enjoy using 8.1 exclusively in mode "W7". I want to get out of dependence on Windows but appreciate having a Windows backup with the new unix environment.

    The BIOS has been F66 of Windows.  Update drivers through Windows via the HP support was simple. There was a problem with the Intel graphics before 2013-11-25, Version10.18.10.3325, updated 158,03 M always on the HP site. Graphical display would turn and the movement of the mouse was "sticky". An e-mail, I managed to come back from HP support that somewhere might suggest only there could be a problem with my system fan. Be sure to get updated 04/10/2014 of Intel 10.18.10.3907 now available via Windows update, which issue is resolved. Missing NVidia drivers are on the HP support site. I adapted my missing Bluetooth drivers to the preinstalled Ralink wireless driver.

    There was a HP_Tools partition which was lost very quickly to try to set up the dual boot. Confusion about the problems in the implementation of Grub2 has resulted in some attempts to complete reformatting/reload. Apparently this isn't Windows 8, which was change my setup dual boot on its own but, I am told, the bios of HP...

    "the problems you are experiencing are related to some known bugs in the implementation of HP EFI. "Basically, the firmware is hardcoded to start the bootloader from Microsoft and which make it difficult, if not impossible to boot from anything else.

    I have to live with it, finally begin directly in Windows and access to Ubuntu throgh esc/F9. I think it's quite precarious and likely to lose a lot of setup work by maybe an update has failed. Some documents on what's happening, or how to disable HP of W8 feature protection can be useful.

    I downloaded the UEFI environment. I told him to put it on a USB key, but it recharged HP efi files in the system partition despite. This is apparently not a problem...

    (No legacy support, secureboot and off quick start)

    End sector number of sectors system partition boot sector
    / dev/sda1 2 048 1 050 623 1 048 576 EFI system partition<  ="" plus="">
    data 665,833,472/dev/sda2 1 050 624 666,884,095 (Linux) partition
    / dev/sda3 1,448,515,584 1,465,147,391 16,631,808 swap partition (Linux)
    / dev/sda4 666,884,096 data partition (Windows/Linux) 781,631,488 1,448,515,583

    but I lost my key F11 on startup diagnostics that are only partially resumed through HP efi files.

    Apparently by my purchase of a single system preloaded Ubuntu Windows acquired separately, Miss me some features of Windows HP for the features below:

    HP utilities: can't see, Play, system event... confusing whether they are present or not

    some Cyberlink: "InstallShield Wizard is not a valid HP drive. The installation program stops now. "

    and imortantly...
    Windows Recovery 8: does not load message of incompatibility.

    RECOVERY

    originally PC only Ubuntu:
    Should I make wiping out shouldn't it be a recovery partition or a recovery disc to reload the original drivers in order to recharge then Ubuntu via a live recording?
    I should be able to recover my F11 diagnostics with that?

    Where can I retrieve F11?

    Windows 8.1:
    Yes, I have the disk Windows 8.1 and should be able to reinstall if necessary on the partition.
    I went to mine for the full recovery of the system of Windows 8?

    Or that is my problem of recovery environment mentioned above)?
    Wiped out I should wait to retrieve my comprehensive system drivers, etc. and Windows through my Windows system recovery?

    This certainly proved to be the learning experience than I expected! :-). This support site and the forum has been very useful. I'm very happy with the result. I could try to make a double machine (VMWare).

    Thanks for the help so far to have me almost through this.

    In the off topic about the Intel graphic display bug which results in putting on and off the screen (she came back! again), I guess its due to some incosistency between graphics and power features. Unfortunately, prevent the Windows driver updates prevents all updates driver that allows me to remove Windows Intel/use generic display make it impossible to solve other problems of driver (such as USB network emulator) and I had to disable the Intel graphics card so NVidia will not find his companion and I get just Windows base. I'm calling ths problem very soon.

    But the problem to avoid something that I didn't know before. That already by erasing partitions Windows or Ubuntu reloading Windows or Ubuntu will load the proper minimum drivers and from there I should be able to do all the updates for the drivers of HP for Windows or Ubuntu drivers I have installed manually from Ubuntu. And I now have enough backup for both OS/driver.

    Am I wrong in thinking that these system recovery discs won't boot your laptop won't start plu?

    And I deadended somewhere in the link of Malygris:

    Get a USB HP recovery disc or HP recovery disks with or without disc rec instructions

    above. I'll try once more...

    So I'm still very confused do not have diagnoses of the base system (via the TOOLS HP F11) for critical maintenance, update the bios and other tools for the recovery of corrupted system bios and the inability to start.

    (1) I can't HP_Tools to load on a USB key. Is it because I have got a usb BOOT drive? I am simply create a 20 GB fat32 partition called HP_TOOLS w / or w/o a drive letter on a spare 120 GB external USB and HP tools cannot find or create the partition of HP tools. It doesn't have to be loaded in a similar partition created from a shrunken Windows partition or create a partition on my hard drive as well.

    2) what facilities relevant to the boot/recovery should I expect the disk of "fast food" that I was informed (above) to get again the representative of HP on the phone says is not available to me for my model?

    (3) why can't I load the recovery of Windows 8 DAS?

  • best2serve pile of crap recovery disc

    Hello

    Two weeks ago, I ordered a set of recovery disc for an HP Pavilion ms215uk all in a desktop pc.

    I paid £31.06 for drives that turn up. (7 days from order to receipt) - fair enough.

    However - they did not work. Disc 1 is OK, but on the insertion of disk 2, I got an error in Dutch (not English) that the system recovery discs would not work on this system.

    Great Stuff - Hp cannot even provide the correct disks.

    Good so I then sent their emails of support of shit and got a response indicating that they would send others.

    7 days later the disks turned up and guess what?

    Yes - they do not have work - same message - Dutch once again - and after inserting the disc 2 disc 5.

    It's 2 weeks - no recovery drive of work for my system - and 10 coasters.

    What the hell is happening with this crap company. No phone support (now I know why) and only contact by email - which they have not responded to and its now more than 24 hours.

    All brands on the site - even HP Hp can't help saying that I need to contact best2serve.

    Well I can't contact them because there is no way to contact them outside of the email.

    As far as I am concerned the disks are under warranty and that I should beable to call and ask why they do not work or have at least my money I can buy a copy of windows 7 and do a reinstall completely Virgin.

    2 weeks is not good enough - I'm just glad that the discs are not intended for a customers machine. Best2serve are crap - useless - and not very reliable from what I've read on this forum and the net in general.

    Oh - and discs are not manufactured or factory - basically, they are 1 x cd blank with green dye and 4 x dvd with purple dye. In other words discs burned and unprepared discs.

    And they are not scratched btw.

    So my question is what you do about best2serve or Hp?

    I have to go to the negotiation of standards?

    Or

    I have to create a website denouncing the best2web service and support - I could do a good job of it too.

    Your call.

    concerning

    peedoffbigtime

    Hi Paul,.

    As promised I have news on the situation.

    And here are my results.

    After many phone calls and e-mails to Hp and best2serve, I figured out that the Pc should be sent repair.

    That's why the recovery disks wouldn't work - pc necessary fixation. EVIL.

    The recovery discs would not work because I had installed a new hardrive.

    The recovery discs check the dmi information in bios or dmi on the "original hard drive" string that is automatically written in sector 8 hard drive at the factory.

    Replace the hard drive or the motherboard and your recovery disks do not work.

    BIOS updates can mess up too, the dmi information which was not the case with this pc.

    It's the original Bios HP 2009 - there isn't another available on Hp website.

    However for some reason any (nothing that I did at all)-

    Model number: MS215UK

    Serial number: 123456789

    Version identifier: 94WEv6PrA2

    The string Featurebyte: 333rd 2S2V and so on

    Part number: VG256AA

    The country Code: #ABU

    has all the missing since the information screen of the bios by pressing F10 to access the bios.

    It was like that for / to the plant.

    To solve this problem, I used an Hp dmi tool that is not accessible to the public, but a google search for cpc_dmi hp tool should get what you need. He made me.

    The 2010 version is the one you need.

    So, I used the Hp Dmi's tool and the cpc_dmi.exe of a bootbale disk file and published this information.

    Once I had done that and saved the settings of the chip rom all the correct information was shown on the system bios screen.

    Now armed, knowing this info has been tattooed in the rom chip system I proceeded with the recovery disk install again.

    I used the cd 'First use this disc' and then started the drive 1 0f 4

    This now gave me a good screen of Hp recovery option rather than the screen in Dutch say the recovery discs would not work on this system message.

    Disc 1 0f 4 installed perfectly and so the other 3.

    My system is now recovered and working as it did in 2009 when purchased new.

    Then

    I corrected the error of recovery disks don't work do not.

    I stuck two fingers up to the Hp support.

    I saved myself over £100 + by sending only not in Hp update bios dmi information. (FIX my donkey)

    That said it took me two days to get this working correctly through complete trial and error, but I'm a happy guy now.

    Oh - and don't will never buy Hp again. They suck.

    Thanks for the help

  • Satellite P10 - repair on the recovery disc option

    My Satellite P10 crashed, which suggests an error of hard disk may be imminent, I have a recovery disk, but it doesn't have a repair option, only a full recovery. As I would like to try to retrieve some data, is there a repair option, normally associated with these discs.
    If yes where can I get one?

    Thank you

    Recovery disc has no repair option. Recovery disk contains only the recovery image. Try to get the facilities of Microsoft CD and use the fix here. If you will not be able to repair the operating system pre-installed as a last option, you can use the recovery disk and install recovery image.

    Bye and good luck!

  • 10-FC06-0002 - HARD drive recovery disc error load XP and Windows 7 very well

    OK, so I have a Toshiba laptop I want to restore because I had used it for school and he had a lot of things about what I didn't need and turned slowly. Rather than take things one by one, I thought it would be better to start from scratch. I jumped in the recovery discs, I created, restarted the computer and booted from the DVD. I have chosen all the settings to restore the computer to out-of-the-box settings and a time window that says «copy files please wait...» "After that the screen disappeared after 10 minutes or so, another window flashes on the screen for a split second (has not yet the chance to see what it was) and then an error window pops up error 10-FC06-0002. The only thing I can do is shut down my computer, and it does not start after that. After trying several times, I decided to come here.

    I know what you say. "Before coming here, search or something, there are tons of problems like that here." Well, I'm looking, and all the results told me to "make a copy of your drive and see if it works, if not its your HARD drive ' tried to make an exact copy of the disk using a tool to copy DVD of Google, no dice. I tried copy the files from the disc on the desktop on disk, did not work. Copied files on an old thumb drive and booted from it. The same problem. Make one. ISO disk image and it has burned, triggered the error as well. No matter how I try to run the restore files, the same error message prevails. This would point to the hard drive being broken, correct? This is where I get lost, Windows XP installs flawlessly and works faster that any other computer I used it, as well as Windows 7 beta does.

    Does anyone know a fix to this error so I can restore my computer? Should I order new disks of recovery at Toshiba? How much do cost?

    -------

    I created these recovery disks about a week after the computer is turned on for the first time. The only software on the subject was the preloaded software, Mozilla Firefox, and MSN Messenger. These two programs would have caused corrupted recovery discs to bring?

    THANKS FOR ANY HELP IN ADVANCE! : D

    EDIT: Should probably tell you some info on the laptop. It is a Toshiba A200 - AH6, try to restore Windows Vista recovery disks created in the Toshiba Recovery Manager.

    Hello!

    To me it sounds like it's your Toshiba Recovery disk is noisy or something else. It seems that the disc can't be read properly.
    I doubt that s a hardware issue because you tried a XP and Windows 7 disk successfully.
    But as Akuma says that this can happen also due a poor quality DVD media.

    In any case, I think you need to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.

    Finally and above all the software that you have installed (Firefox and MSN) didn t cause corrupted recovery disk. Theoretically, you can install what you want before you create the recovery disk. The recovery disk creator burning a disc bootable with the files in the folder HDDrecovery on the second partition. All programs that you have installed must be installed after recovery again.

    Good bye
