Recovery USB disk is not bootable

Hello

With HP Recovery Manager, I created a recovery USB disk. FWIW, on a SDHC card that is connected via a USB card reader. Verification of the media after creation of Recovery Manager would have as much success. However, the disc seems to be not not bootable. Another bootable SD card I have (with stock image Windows on them) starts very well through the same USB card reader.

What I did wrong, and what are my other options?

P. S.
By pressing F11 (with attached USB recovery disk) does not work on startup as well: a regular OS from the HARD internal disk boot is started. Although, I don't know if the F11 is supposed to work now - the recovery partition I already deleted, via the Recovery Manager itself.

Thank you
Konstantin

Hello

I contacted HP Support to request for a media alertnate recovery disk as described in their documentation. Contrary to their claim that they keep the versions of recovery media for this event - I was told that they do not provide these media recovery media.

So I did the next best thing - downloaded a utility called TestDisk. After review of my USB - it seems that everything is in place (she spends the creation of media after all verification stage). The partition is marked primary and Bootable. However, I suspect that the MBR was not written. What else is there to conclude if the disc does not start - so I used the MBR version provided by TestDisk - and walah - disk can start now.

    Had some problems with my dv6693, downloaded this app HP to make a recovery USB drive, he SAID it was completed successfully and I couldn't do any DVD so I thought, he MUST be.

I thought maybe it was something to do with the passwords of user profiles put my trust in HP!

    Does anyone know how to confirm the recovery is good on my USB key/stick, whatever you want to call it? and if it's not am I now fuck because I can't do a set of disks?

    I heard there is no way to do another once to define, but there SHOULD be when he wasn't our fault if it does not work? It was software HPs that I used and it said it was successful.

    To enable a recovery DVD burning, delete the following two files:

    • c:\windows\sminst\hpcd.sys
    • d:\hpcd.sys

    You can also use the command here file. Right click and save. Then click on how it works. Don't forget to restart after two processes. (Yes, I used this process)

  • 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

  • Pavilion g series: cannot access the recovery partition & disk do not work

    Try to reset the computer to factory since it does not start in Windows.

    When I try to enter in recovery "esc then F11" it will just try to load windows. Recovery partition is still there just can't access.

    So I try to use disc 5 figure set I did 3 years ago & it starts on the 1st cd, but I get a message saying that the disk is not for this computer.

    I'm like what?  This computer rendered & I have the best recollection no changes to anything that should have caused the recovery to think that there is another computer.

    Suggestions on what I might have to do in order to recover my computer to the factory?

    How can I access the partition recovery from normal mode does not work?

    Why the hell does not work my cd?

    I bought the computer again.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I can't return to Windows, even in safe mode.

    If this is the case, then you need the recovery media you can perform a factory image recovery.

    You can remove the hard drive and connect it to another PC through an external drive enclosure or a usb cable to sata. Which will allow you to copy your important data from the drive to another device of storage for extra security.

  • Toshiba Recovery - 2nd disk does not work

    Hi all

    I wanted to recover my original Windows I created 2 DVDs when I bought the laptop.
    the first DVD worked OK and erased everything, so he will not read my second DVD although it seems in good condition for me and can be read on other devices.

    is there a way I can recover my original windows?

    I tried pressing 0 at startup but no use.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    It is a very bad situation now. All you can do is try again. Make the second DVD clean and try again.
    I really hope that it works somehow. If this isn't the case, you have a big problem.

    Before recovery image installation starts any HARD drive will be formatted so there is no chance to start installation of disk recovery HARD from the HARD disk (using 0 at startup).

  • Acer Aspire M5 w/Windows 8 - e recovery system disk does not start

    My M5 of Acer one-year-old has failed and now I have a blue screen that says "the Boot Configuration data file is missing some required information, File: \BCD, error code: 0xc000000d.» I ordered an e recovery disk that was supposed to solve the problem. The instructions say "Insert system disk labeled disk," "restart the computer and press F12...» "When I do this, the tracks of the disk of the system for a minute or two, stops, and a minute later the laptop stops. I don't think the system disk is accessible to all. My Acer is two months out of warranty... it's so frustrating. The advice is much appreciated!

    Just an update... Blayn was very helpful and directed me to the Acer support. The problem has been resolved by directing the bios to boot from the hard drive instead of the hard drive. It was a little difficult to achieve... I couldn't have done it without the excellent guidance and support from Acer. My Acer has worked very well since, and I appreciate help in this forum!

  • Envy brick and bought Sleekbook 4 PC recovery USB Kit helps do not...

    Everything first in detail:

    HP Envy Sleekbook 4

    C2K79UA prod # #ABA

    Version of the BIOS F.23

    OK, my problem. I never liked the Windows 8, which took over. Since people like @ HP offered no option to downgrade to this travisty of a BONE, I installed VMware Workstation on this laptop and done my job on a VM 7 Win. Everything was great.

    Then, I heard some improvements promised in a future release 8.1. I did my USB drive to restore system, like a good boy. I installed the version beta for 8.1 with the understanding that once the beta has expired I would just empty my personal files on my external drive and do a factory restore to my recovery USB drive I did. No problem, right?

    Recovery failed. Something something causing a panic in the system.

    Now, I should have stopped there... but... I did not. It would have been an easy way, and we cannot have. I noticed some drivers Windows 7 had been added to the page for my product. I gave that install a blow, but not, and probably my deepest hole dug and I most probably bluffing some partitions that I certainly would. Win 7 could not see the SATA, just the SSD drive, and I could not find suitible Win 7 sata drivers for installation.

    So, I went online and ordered the USB for my product recovery Kit.

    When I boot from it, I get the following:

    "Recovery not taken in charge to the title of the current configuration, please turn on the option for the Intel Smart Response Technology and try again.


    I see two options for Intel in my BIOS Enable/Disable...niether contributes

    Ive tried with boot secured on and outside.

    Ive has run out of memory and disk checks... all came back good... except the only player that he checked was the SSD, of course.

    Ive even tried to remove the SSD drive... and try to restore. don't ask why, I read in another forum, someone said this worked.

    Is the recovery USB disk I bought from HP not smart enough to load the SATA drivers and rebuild partitions?

    Is there another keyboard combo called the Intel SRT menu or settings in table?

    I'm not a novice computer, despite some of the errors above to the contrary. I guess I'm very noob in the new world SSD/HDD and layer the puzzle EFI. If you can help, I will be sin no more.

    Please... Please help and thanks in advance.

    Just thought I'd throw in something that I saw on another post. The owner he said "Delete all the keys to starting security" in the BIOS.

  • No option to create recovery/usb drives

    I used my x 220 laptop for a year now and I am trying to port my OS on to a new drive mSATA I recently installed, but cannot create recovery disks to do this. I use rescue and recovery 4.5 for windows 7, but I don't see any option to create recovery/usb disks. I see only options to create a backup of my regular HARD drive and "create recovery media", which only seems to copy the service program of rescue and recovery, thinkvantage on the USB. I know that data that are installed on the USB key is not correct because it is about 500 MB, while I've read online that the complete recovery disk should take about 8.4 GB. I also know that I never created before recovery disks. Y at - it something that I'm missing is not let me create these disks?

    is there an easier way to do this?

    It's been a while since I've done it, but it worked in all situations where I tried: call Lenovo support and declare that you are unable to create recovery discs. There are several legitimate reasons to do this, for example from my experience...

    1. my X61s did not come with a DVD player and I don't have a DVD USB drive connected.

    2. my T60p reported all kinds of program errors when I tried to use the utility provided to create diskettes.

    3. an another ThinkPad (don't remember the model number) had a HD crash under warranty. Lenovo sent me a replacement HD but I had no recovery discs. (I had backups Acronis full score but Lenovo didn't and I didn't volunteer).

    4. one of my friends refused the license agreement for Windows on its ThinkPad. Instead, he decided to try Linux. After a few weeks of frustration with Linux, he decided to return to the Windows fold. Since he had not accepted the license to the first start agreement, it had been unable to create recovery discs.

    If your system is under warranty in my experience that Lenovo will send you a set of toll-free recovery disks. You may need to be a little persistent, but as long as you keep it clean, you should get them. Note however the last time I did that was at least 3 years ago so their policy may have changed. Also note that, in any case, my request is legitimate. YMMV.

  • Impossible to create recovery USB Drive After Win 8.1 pass on Lenovo Twist

    After the upgrade to Win 8.1 and try to create the recovery usb disk, I get this error:

    "We cannot create a disc of reccovery on this PC. Some required files are missing. To trouble shoot startup of your PC problems, use your installation window or media disc»

    Can some give me a clue as to how to solve this problem? THX.

    I contacted Lenovo who sent me a series of 4 recovery disks. These drives solved the problem, but it meant wiping the hard drive and reinstall the same thing from scratch. A new recovery partition is created and the disc reinstalled Win 8, which was to be updated. So to win 8.1 can be installed. Now, everything works as it should.

    Hello:

    I can't help you with this specific issue, but if you can get it is resolved and you can read the product key 25 character Microsoft Windows on the bottom of your PC, do your own installation of W7 media to reinstall W7.

    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.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.
