Recovery F10 does not work?

Hi all

I have a pc media center of m1170.uk that I bought in 2005, and the only change it's got is an upgrade of the memory that was made in 2009.

It worked ok until recently. A few weeks ago, I did a system restore and took the pc back a couple of weeks and ever since then, whenever I try and open a program, it evokes the box "open with...". "then some programs does not at all, open as Word.

I did a disk defragmentation yesterday, I started to regret the fact that my PC would not boot at all this morning.

It loads the initial blue screen and then goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor and that's it. I turned off and then I tried pressing F10 on several occasions when it starts, as advised by HP, and still nothing, it does not load the system recovery.

The only button that he will answer is F1 and ESC keys at startup.

How to do a system restore? I have no recovery disks (I never created them, although I realize, I should have done). Is it possible to load without getting the discs? I hesitate to order the HP discs in case they don't work because there will be more money down the drain.

Also, it is a regular event with HP computers, because it is not the first condition, that has happened, although the last was 3 or 4 years ago.

Best regards

Don't worry, it's all sorted out.

Operated by browsing HP support and recommended unplugging everything but the mouse, keyboard, etc., in the cases where something was preventing Windows from loading and it turned to be a CD Girls Aloud in one of the disk drives, incredible but true!

Thank you

  • Satellite A100: Recovery DVD does not work

    I want to restore my Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop to its original factory condition, but the DVD that comes with the package of recovery does not work...

    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.

    However, after VIRTUAL disk, I see a cursor on a black screen, and then the laptop off and restarts. After the connection, NO CHANGES made...

    What is the problem with that? How can I really use this recovery DVD?
    Someone help me please.

    Thank you.

    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

    I put in the CD and boot from the CD drive, I can hear work and the display shows "Windows loading files" and a bar appears at the bottom of the screen, after that, the screen turns white and all I'm left with is a pointer of the mouse and a black screen.

    Hello

    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.

  • Satellite A30 - 203 - recovery disk does not work

    Hi all

    I have an old Satellite A30-203 and have a problem. I tried to format my laptop but the product recovery cd does not seem to work in deletion the data on my disk, its becomes blocked during loading files of ntfs? Now I am not able to retrieve a windows session would I need a new product recovery cd and would be able to get it?

    Thank you

    Hi dimation,

    It is difficult to say what is the reason of this but made is either it s a laptop problem itself or the recovery disc (e.g. scratches) causes this problem.

    In my opinion the best way to check this using a Microsoft Windows disk. If the installation completed successfully, you need a new recovery disk. As a result, you can ask a service provider authorized in your country! :)

  • Problem of Pavilion dv67023tx, drive damaged, recovery system recovery cd does not work

    Hi all! I really need help

    I bought my computer hp laptop Pavilion dv67023tx July 2012.  When I bought it, they gave me a set of recovery disks. January 2013, I did a system restore. It was fine then.

    Later, after some software hp update my cd player began to eject automatically. The light of the hp on the lid logo disappeared also. My audio jack went wrong from the beginning. So for all these problems together, I took it to the service center, and as it was in warranty period, they sent to hp. 3 months later I have my laptop back, I was informed that hp has changed the hard drive, motherboard, cover, screen.

    There is a month Itried to install some of my software I used earlier, but they were not working. If I had no other way than a system recovery using this link

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01867418

    Then the main problem occurred. I couldn't do a system recovery from disk on my laptop. Then when I tried to do the recovery disks and he says, the system recovery disks do not support this computer. You are not able to restore this system with these discs.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01868346

    This link said, maybe its because hp has changed the motherboard.

    Now what should I do? I need a factory. But recovery in my laptop drive does not work, my recovery disks do not work. Please help me out of this. Or give me email ID so I can contact HP directly with problems, I do not find anything.

    Others suggesting me to install a pirated Windows 7, I don't want it. I had a real windows 7 pre installed, why should I?

    I'm sorry but I can't help you with recovery disks not working is not on your computer, but I don't have an alternative. If you can still read the 25 characters on the COA affixed Microsoft Windows product key at the bottom of the computer, you can install Windows 7 Home Premium using this key. Please see "how to install Windows 7 without the disc" to get instructions on how to download Windows 7 SP1, create the installation media and install Windows 7 SP1 by using the 25 digit product key from the COA Microsoft on your computer.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Qosmio F10: Recovery DVD does not work?

    Hello. I have a qosmio series lappy F10 series well well I still get random stops, crashes and error log every time that I start.
    It's been very disturbing to me. I tried to use the system recovery cd, that I got with my laptop and when I followed the procedure in the user manual it starts the recovery then flashes that my system does not support recovery.

    Is this normal especially when I had my restore disk with my laptop. I want to reformat my drive hard back to the factory settings and it was completely wiped out with having to buy a new hard drive and windows xp.

    What I do and how can you help me in this? I'm at the end of my teather as one of my tasks is a dj from the internet and I can't keep crashing in the middle of my streaming. I don't want to lose my job!

    Help, please!

    Hello

    Very strange! The fact is that you cannot use the different recovery CD because each recovery CD is designed for a Toshiba laptop model. For example, you can not use a Qosmio F10 on a Qosmio G20 recovery CD.

    However, I assume that you use the recovery CD provided (as you say) and the recovery procedure should generally work without any warnings or error messages.
    I think there is something wrong with the CD. Maybe the wrong CD was shipped with this laptop?
    I recommend to ask the Toshiba ASP in your country. Here, you can also order the new CD.

    Good bye

    I made a Windows 7 recovery disk using my other acer laptop which has also installed Windows 7 64-bit. When I use the recovery disk and it loaded the files etc it evokes just a black screen and the cursor.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
    I tried to start my computer acer laptop from the recovery disk and it worked fine.

    As is - this does anyone have suggestions as to why I get the message "disk read error - press ctrl, alt and delete to restart?

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis, but of course, there must be a problem with the HARD drive. Can you get a second one for test purposes and exchange it. Just to be sure if the HDD is troublemaker.

    But there is something else:
