Recovery HP ENVY h8-1430

So this PC froze when I started an upgrade of the BIOS. Now, it doesn't do anything but lights. I tried to upgrade the BIOS on a USB, rename it to HPBIOS. ROM, etc. - nothing.

I refuse to believe that, at this time, there is not a recovery process.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you

GP

Follow-up I've been able to recover the PC by manually flashing BIOS via the SPI road. This site will give you the how and the what-for on how to do it. Need an Arduino, but they are cheap and useful to have in any case.

Good luck.

  • Recovery HP Envy 4 Ultrabook (Sleekbook) after Windows 8.1 update course

    I'm working on a model of ultrabook (sleekbook) of HP Envy 4 4-1115dx for a friend. They said they tried to upgrade to Windows Update 8.1 and it has not worked since. There was a black screen with an error that says "boot device not found" hard drive (3F0). I tried everything I can find on the internet to try to address this. I ran Diagnostics of hard disk (short and long), and the order is placed. I have reset the BIOS settings by default, Secure Boot disabled, enabled Legacy Boot and I have somehow or another managed to access a screen that shows the RAID settings and I put the hard drive in non-RAID (probably an error). During all of this, I ordered a USB hp recovery and when it starts I get a warning that says "not recovery support to the title of the current configuration, please activate the acceleration for Intel Smart Response Technology option and try again." I can't find this in the BIOS anywhere (turning power of boot technology fast Intel does nothing.) Through what seems to be something that you configure in Windows leading to the top of this post. I tried all these parameters before and after changing the RAID settings. So now I have a recovery USB which does not seem to work on this work and the drive tests very well. I could shoot the SSD drive, if necessary, but I was trying to avoid that, because you have to take the whole computer part to access. Any suggestions?

    Well, I feel like a fool. I was misunderstanding the SSD as drive JUST before I realized it was both. The normal hard drive was dead. I put a new hard drive in it after removing the bottom of the laptop and the provided HP recovery USB what worked perfectly. I kept thinking there was a partition on the SSD that I didn't see or format. It was just a plain ole doesn't have a hard drive. Thank you very much for your help.

  • Envy h8 1430: backup media

    I seems to have made several backup usb drives. I was wondering if it could be authorized until each of them would be used for. I have one that seems to be a recovery disk, one that seems to be a boot disc and whoever said this is a disk image. Do I really need all of them? When would I need all of them, if I have to keep them all? I think I know part of the answer, but I thought it would be good for others too if there was a clarification.

    I wonder how can I take backup of my laptop without optical drive. As an alternative, it must be a minimum capacity of 32 GB flash drive. Y at - it another way to get my backup

    Hello

    If you are referring to the creation of your recovery media, then you will need to use a 32 GB usb flash drive (if you have no optical drive).   Application of recovery media creator does support the discs or a usb flash drive - that is to say, it does not support create an example external HARD drive recovery media.

  • Envy 14 K110nr: Cannot recover system recovery media, associated with PININST_BBV

    I have a HP Evny 14 K110nr. In short, the system upgraded to Windows 10, started acting weird about a month after:
    Lose access to resources (Task Manager, desktop, Control Panel, etc.)
    Defective devices (wifi, bluetooth, etc.), suspended connections, System Restore gave a lot of mistakes.

    Tried to fix the system, nothing worked (even the DISM restorhealth was not working and suspended 40%)

    Long story short, I tried to recover the hd partition and could not complete successfully, same thing happened with my recovery media.

    At the end of the recovery attempt, I get a BSOD and system resets. It was a loop like that for awhile.

    Ran Diagnostics, no errors, but I suspect it was the HARD drive as the mentioned system errors on it before the collapse.

    I replaced the HARD drive and started the process again, this time I have not received any BSOD, but after completitng, I get a message saying that the recovery was incomplete. Just now my system is a Clipboard and consider Ubuntu if I can't up the widows, but it makes no sense. I read through several threads that referred to this issue and I don't know if I've seen any absolute solution to this issue (none have worked for me so far). Here are a few:

    I understand that you upgraded to Windows 10 and then the system started acting weird about a month later with the loss of resources. and malfunctioni devices. You tried to do a restore but received many errors.  Then, you tried to do a system repair, but no luck. You tried to do a recovery from recovery and recovery but Media Manager once again without success.  At the end of the restore process, you have a blue screen and the system resets and goes in a loop.  You have run a complete diagnosis and all spent and that you have received error on the HARD disk before you replace it.

    You proceeded to redo recovery and you do not have the BSOD, but after, you have received the message that the recovery was incomplete.

    Here is a link to HP-HP System Recovery troubleshooting (Windows 8) computers that can help.

    You can also try booting in safe mode.  HP computers - Windows Safe Mode (Windows, 10, 8).

    If the problem persists I try to clean the optical drive, and then try using the recovery again.  You can try to clean it with compressed air or a disc to clean the disc. Also, check your disk recovery for stains or damage.

    You can also try to boot any disk from Windows and reformatting the drive to start over with the recovery.

    If it breaks down again it is likely that the discs and you will need a recovery kit.

  • Pavilion DV7-3015ew vl095ea recovery kits 2010 vs 2011

    Hello

    Need to make the resumption of the plant on Pavilion DV7-3015ew vl095ea #akd.

    There are recovery disks 6pcs:

    2pcs system recovery records + 1pcs drivers disk marked even code p2394-164-1, year 2010

    * 2pcs marked system recovery disc code p5510-93-1, year 2011

    * 1pcs disc with unmarked, without year applications

    My friend tried to use disks system year 2011 for the purposes of recovery: boot from the first disc and when asked to insert the 2 floppy. After restart of the progress the recovery has begun, but in the end, it failed with the message he had to start again...

    Today will also try discs of the year 2010...

    Can anyone advice why there is 6pcs discs? I have no history for this laptop, so don't know not if they were provided with the laptop or perhaps ordered this last...

    Official website for this model:

    Recovery partition (with the possibility to recover system, applications and drivers separately)

    Are there tips for the recovery process?   for example, recovery on ENVY DV7 - 7252sr always failed until the date of the bios modified for 2012.

    Thank you

    Successful recovery!

    Only used no discs of 2010, but beginning the HARD drive recovery. Looks like when last boot disk recovery from 2011, its new partition on the HARD disk and create the recovery partition. The HARD drive recovery passed successfully!

  • New want: set group policy not available in this edition of Windows 8?

    Just before I used my recovery on Envy 6 partition I bought less than a month ago, I tried to define group policy in order to take control of my administrator account. I received an error message: "group policy is not a feature of this edition of Windows 8.1."

    I knew My Envy 6 security problems (in my opinion, nothing to envy about it...) since I got it.

    I have known this same problem several times, with different computers, then perhaps it is not just HP.  However, I spent the time shared an office with two of its engineers, who blew me subject my security concerns.

    What happens first, did someone other than I turn my computer and started using my machine as a distributed resource.  When I look at the resource monitor, the memory usage remains at a stable level around 30%; the window of the disk (Disk 0, I presume) remains at about 100%, for several minutes after I started working.  There is evidence that copies of the countless applications are pushed through this channel to an unknown person to me.

    In other words, it's like I had to work in a large company where administrators are able to share my computers memory and storage (and also, copies of programs on my machine) with others.

    Yesterday, I took my machine at Best Buy Geek Squad for the third time since I bought it less than a month ago.  For the first time, they have me seriously on this security issue.  Yesterday, the fourth time I used my security partition, (once I had looked into the Task Manager and saw more than 50 tasks scheduled to run when the machine has been slowed and on current alternative) I decided to see what would happen if I leave the fully charged battery to work.

    What I saw, it was a machine to panic.  I saw a sequence of four first screenshots, then a flash of a task list, and then a series that looked like screen shots again - this time fourteen of them.  I watched it happen to three different times.  Then, the machine made me a 'Capital A administrator' password, which I didn't.

    I looked around resources here and on Windows and discovered that I could access boot options by turning on the machine and pressing the ESC key.  I ran through the list of options there and finally chose EFI, where I finally has two ways to start at an unknown address.  So that's another trick of Geek Squad was in order (I bought their contact service when I bought the machine, what the devil).  This time there was pretty much irrefutable evidence that something was wrong at the level of Internet security.

    I realized that it is way to much information.  I'll ask just once more the question: is it possible that my brand new machine doesn't really have a 8.1 Windows edition that does not include the ability to group policy management?

    Thanks to all who responded here.

    Hi @ElizaDoolittle8

    Thank you for your request, I am happy to help you!

    I understand that you have some security issues. You have taken your computer to the Best Buy Geek squad, 3 times and have used the 4 times recovery partition.

    Only Windows 8 Ultimate and professional have the Group Policy Manager.

    I suggest you do a full restore in the factory.  This will remove all the threats that may be installed.

    If you don't have virus protection, I would say that you install one because it would help.

    Performing a recovery of HP (Windows 8) system

    During the recovery process, you will have an option to backup your personal files to avoid loss.  If you do not have a recent backup I suggest you only do one now.

    Restore files that have been supported to the top using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8)

    Here is a link to a YouTube video.  Desktop version of Windows 8 open the Group Policy Management Console

    Here is a third-party link to How to activate 'Group Policy Editor' (gpedit.msc) in Windows 7 Home Premium, Home Basic and Starter Editions? who, according to some readers have worked for them.  You can try it, but I don't know if it works or

    not. (of A? KVG)

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    It would NOT in fact the virus which prevents HP Recovery Manager to work.

    While Microsoft says there is no risk in the upgrade of Win10, because they allow you to believe that you can always return to your BONES and the original installation program within 30 days, the ugly fact of the matter is that the Win10 GoBack feature turned out to be unreliable - and when she fails, she can let machines in a State corrupted - that does not always happen , but it happens often enough to be a problem and you will get no warning beforehand that he goes to the trash your PC!

    If this is not enough, the Win10 upgrade is known, in some cases, corrupt partition recovery stored by the OEM that built the original machine. It's pretty much guarantee that no HP recovery will work: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Video-Display-and-Touch/HP-Recovery-Manager-Blocked-After-Windows-10-Upgrade/td-p/5170752

    What you would really need to do, is to erase the entire disk and restore your PC using something known as HP recovery media.

    HP recovery media is a set of DVD and a CD or a USB key, which will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs. You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.

    You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers

    Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update". If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entry and click on order to press for more details.

    Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:

    If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

    If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

    NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!

    If you have difficulties to find a phone number, then try: 1 (800) 474-6836

    If HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  • HP Envy 700-327C: walk of recovery materials (D); What would they

    Believe it is 64 bit, but not sure if that makes a difference. It's Windows 10

    Content of the recovery disc (D) seems to be ALL the files that are located on drive C with the exception of the info Office more a section marked or named "Recovery". Is it the way it is supposed to be?

    The reason why I ask this is that I saw a question in a forum of Support HP indicating "Recovery Drive Full - new HP Envy Windows 10" and the answer was - "If your recovery disk is displayed as having a drive letter, which could be the source of the problem, as there may be a default download setting (as in a browser you use) which writes that animate its temporary files instead of disk. OS. " Then there were know get into disk management to see if the volume of recovery has a drive letter (D) and if so, how to erase it.

    My d drive recovery - is not complete; It shows 1.89 GB free of 15.4 GB - (I'm not sure of what he showed when the PC has been implemented) and, as noted above, has all the files that are located on drive C with the exception of office. When I go to disk management the recovery volume shows the drive letter D. So delete it or not? Must drive D materials reproduce what's on drive C as described. Delete "D" drive Mgmt will create problems?

    Thanks for yoour help

    @OPAMA, welcome to the forum.

    The D: partition is only recovery files.  There should be no other data on it.  However, that said, if you did the recovery media when you bought the computer and are positive that it works, you can delete the D: partition.  Normally I leave just to be sure.  Is the best solution to your problem, check which drive is when you save the data.  In addition, you can remove all the data that are the same as on the C: drive.
