Recovery installation disk vs. disc.

Hi all

I have HP Pavilion a1509 PC with Windows XP SP3 OS.

My hard drive crashed and had to replace it with a new one.

I lost the installation for the Windows XP operating system disc. Is there a difference between the recovery disc and the installation of HP disc?

Is Yes, where can I get the installation for OS Windows XP for HP disc.

Help, please!

Hello

HP cannot send you namely XP installation CD but a set of disks installation disc shortly called set of recovery disks. All must conntain the OS (XP), all the drivers and applications on your computer. You can order from the following link (scroll down for other countries):

    Hello

    I suggest to try the following workaround.

    If you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit is the exact retail version, you would need.

    If you do not access to the retail drives, you can create an installation disk yourself - just download good picture disc from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO on a CD 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 well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key Windows located on the underside of your laptop when requested and when the installation is completeuse the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally delivered with OEM installations.

  • Windows 8 How to recover without a recovery USB disk or a disc?

    Hello, about a month ago, I rebooted my computer in windows 8, caused by viruses, and I did it without creating a recovery on a USB drive. Also, I bought the computer from best buy so I have not received a disc of 8 recovery of 64-bit Windows is restarted. Trying to repair and restart, the computer turns on, but head to the blue menu screen and tells me that I am missing the drivers. Is it possible that I can download a recovery on a different computer from windows disk 8 and use it to mine? If this does not work, is there a way to download a recovery on the windows site drive? Thanks I hope you can answer my questions.

    Most computers come with an internal partition on them with the recovery information.  This allows you to go back to "factory fresh" conditions, as a new installation.

    How to go to you it's different on different computers.  My Sony Vaio all-in-one PC that I got from BestBuy last year with Windows 8, has a small pin hole I have to press with a paper clip to enter recovery mode.

    If this does not work (or your computer does not have this option), you will need a recovery disk.  The recovery discs are unique to the computer, so you should get from the manufacturer.

    I helped a friend a few weeks ago and Dell sent him a DVD disc of free recovery, the next day Fed - ex.  But my Sony Vaio here, (which just returned after the internal hard drive field itself of pasta), Sony wanted me to pay 60 million dollars for a CD. I can't use anyway because this computer has no CD drive (then they were told to go buy a lol... but that's another story).

    My recommendation or you is so ask the manufacturer or get with BestBuy.  In my case, because the computer has been less than a year when this Vaio hard drive died, BestBuy geek squad made replacement under warranty on it for me, free.  I had no recovery either by car (although it would not have helped because the internal hard disk was physically dead).

    When I came back today, do you think better :), I created a recovery USB disk

  • Equium A110-238 - product recovery stops after 1 disc

    On my Toshiba laptop satellite A110-238, purchased 2006, HARD drive lasted until last week, when it crashed. After replacing the HARD drive with a 160 GB drive (original was 40 GB) I started using the recovery disks get up my system. I've used records (a few years ago) for recovery.

    I've turned off, insert the first disc, power (the CD/DVD was the first in boot-seq) and the VIRTUAL disk has been created. I chose my language and selected a primary partition of 40 GB, and the first disc starts to unzip the files. A message came when the disc had unpacked to 100%, to inform him of the number of files and directories that were unpacked - and asked me to remove the disk - and then press OK.

    I removed the disc the disc following and you press OK. -Nothing happened for the next hour. I then repeated the sequence, but without inserting the disc number 2 - same result.

    Did I miss something?

    Hey Buddy,

    Theoretically this could be caused by new HARD drive because you wrote that you used the recovery disks earlier and it worked
    Maybe the new HARD drive for bad sectors who knows?

    In your case I recommend that you test another HARD drive (old) or test the Windows installation using a disc of Microsoft.

    Hello

    Microsoft does not disks for computers manufactured OEM.

    This is for Acer to do, if they still have any available.

    As you never have a disc, you must have a recovery Partition to reinstall the operating system.

    "How do I restore my computer using the eRecovery Management program outside of Windows?

    http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631

    To start the system recovery:

    1. Restart the computer.
    2. When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt and F10 keys.
    3. If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows splash screen, press the Enter key.
    4. After that the Acer eRecovery Management application is loaded, select your type of restore.
    5. Read the review and then click Next when you are ready.
    6. Click Next to start the restore process. It may take 10 minutes up to an hour fom anywhere to restore.
    7. Once the restore is complete, your computer will restart. After the reboot it will load Windows and start the installation of your software and drivers. Your computer will restart several times during this process. Once they are all completed, your computer will be like it was when you bought it first.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

I've got two product recovery CD Toshiba but not the product recovery startup disk that will contain all the batch files to load the cd in my opinion.

  • How to create a recovery for TPT 2 disc

    Hello

    I really don't like the idea that my only restore options re' is on the same drive. So, if my drive goes down, I have no recovery option. I tried to create a recovery disk using the tools integrated in Windows, but it error. Other forums say that it can happen with OEMs. So, how can I create a recovery for my TPT2 disc? I have a USB DVD burner

    Hello

    Yep, those are the steps I've tried. Then it gives me an error code 80070057 #. I tried with two different CD/DVD burners to ensure it wasn't a burner problem.

    Now, since the announcement, I found another recovery option that seems to work:

    1. tap search in the bar of charms.

    2. Type "Recovery" and then press on to find settings

    3. click on 'create a disc of Recvovery '.

    4. follow the steps in this wizard.

    This creates a recovery USB disk. I still prefer to have a CD through the utility to backup WIndows 7 and recovery screen, but I hope this recovery USB will work as well.

  • I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility.

    I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility. However, the next time you start, the startup process is blocked to halfway to new (on the screen with the toolbar and the status of apple). I want a more permanent solution to reinstall the operating system every time. Would appreciate someone's suggestions and thanks in advance.

    Replace your hard drive.

    You have a backup of trust? If not, buy a disc of exterrnal for that as well.

    The progress bar from the left end at the beginning of the commissioning indicates that your drive has been so damaged, it could not be mounted. Five minutes of progress bar is shown as it does the equivalent of disk utility (ERD [Directory]). If you have reinstalled several times and the problem is not fixed, your drive is in solid form.

  • Reinstall Windows XP with no boot or installation disk

    I started volunteering for a non-profit as a bureau chief.

    The Organization was given 4 IBM posts all loaded with XP Pro.  I wish I could give units a new start with XP by formatting the drives and reinstalling windows from scratch.  However the boot/installation disks were not included with the gift of the CPU.
    Each unit has Microsoft Windows "sticker" on the subject with the product key for each.
    I expected to be able to download a generic copy of XP pro to burn to a CD and install it on each unit, but I'm pretty sure that's not possible.

    A little help would be great, thanks.

    To answer your question - no you can't install without disc and and you can not download (AFAIK) XP from anywhere.
    The "donor" was in violation of the LICENSE agreement. You need to either get the donor to feed the disks or you will need (unfortunately) buy new copies...
    The problem is why the donor is not passed on the disks? The donor has used the disks again? If yes you and he are going to face problems... If you find my answer helpful, please click the button "Vote as helpful"! Thank you! My Blog

    Here's how:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.
