Replace a hard drive in dv6 but is not completed the installation phase

I replaced my hard drive with a disks recommended by an expert from HP in this forum, and he seemed fine. After starting with my #1 recovery and loading of each disk when you are prompted, I got the final guest/message: "preparation of the recovery is complete. Remove the system recovery media. Once the computer is restarted, the installation of recovery process will begin... Support on continue restart the computer. "When I hit the"Continue"button, the screen went black as if it has been restarted. But instead, a black screen with the HP logo in the centre appeared, with the text: "Press ESC for Boot Menu" in white letters in the lower left corner. Waited about half an hour, and then you press the ESC key, but it changed nothing. Same screen HP. And that's all - nothing else has happened. I left it on all night, thinking perhaps that it takes time to get there, but in the morning, the same screen was there and my phone was hot as if in use. So I turned it off right there. What would not, and that I should try now?

Turns out that I don't need to download the Microsoft Windows software and then struggle to find the right drivers, thank God. My recovery discs works perfectly after all.

Having read tons and tons of forum posts about this problem, I finally found a solution that worked really - posted by another user, GoodTimes81 (thanks!). This solution is pasted below (with numbers and an additional note added by me):

(1) put the recovery disk #1 in and

(2) when the Recovery Manager screen loads, you will get a few options, but the one you want is the command prompt (which appears after you select "Run a computer check.")

(3) in the command prompt, I typed bootrec.exe/fixmbr, you press on enter and waited it says the operation completed successfully.

(4) I typed bootrec/fixboot and then you press on enter and again waited until he said the operation has completed successfully.

(5) after having done that I left the command line, restarted my computer and waited until my recovery disk #1 loaded up again.

(6) then, I chose the recovery system to the Recovery Manager screen and went through the process of insertion of disks 1 to 4.  When the 4th disc is complete, it says remove the recovery disc and press on continue, which I did, then it restarts, except that this time it restarted and actually started the installation and facilities it is supposed to do and has completed the recovery process.
_________

The other user said these steps solved the problem for her, and they could work for you. Finally, they worked for me, except after step 5, the recovery disk #1 would not load again. I received an error message (the black screen, white letters) mentioning a problem of location startup (sorry, that I did not write down exactly what he says). I pressed the button power to restart, but got the same error message.

So I pressed the button to power again but this time, you press F11 repeatedly until I had a menu of options. The option to boot was F9, then I pressed F9 and selected "CD/DVD player" (which I had already done elsewhere earlier in the process, but maybe it had reset after entering the command request?) and then restarted again.

This time, it worked, and I was back in step 6 above. Load the discs one at a time (note: I have 7 discs instead of the 4 mentioned by another user), and after that the disc was done and I got the prompt to "Press continued to restart", it restarted and he proceeded to load all the software, drivers, etc as it is supposed to. Yay!

    Hello

    For any problem with the help of the recovery Partition that has been copied to the hard disk by the computer manufacturer, you must contact them.

    This recovery process is the manufacturer, not Microsoft.

    ________________________________________________

    You never told us why you wanted to do a restore. If you had serious errors and the recovery process does not work, you will have hardware problems. BUT we're only guessing at this stage due to lack of information to help you.

    I have an IBM PC camera, but do not have the installation CD. How do I install it without the CD

    Hello

    What is a model supported by your version of Windows? You could just plug it in and see if Windows recognizes
    and they get the drivers off of the internet. Although it is recognized that you should always check the manufacturer's website
    new drivers and control software.

    Check with the site of the manufacturer of the camera brand and model you should be able to download the necessary software.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Mauritis,

    Thank you very much for your answers.  If you don't have administrative rights, then you will need to get them.  It may be possible to solve the problem with the drivers that are currently listed, but this problem can be caused by the initial install the disc. I would try the steps below to see if that solves the problem.

    Note: administrative rights must be obtained *.

    1. completely uninstall the device from programs and features

    2. make sure that all instances of the deleted software (programs, Device Manager, etc.).

    3. download and save the correct software

    4 reinstall the unit DOWNLOAD

  • I want my user to my main hard drive i.e. hard drive by default but my OS on the SSD without the user on the ssd

    * O.T. > default player

    So I set up my Pc with an SSD and unplugged my of my motherboard main HARD drive, so that Windows would automatically install on the SSD. It installed and now I connected the main HARD disk but the SSD is always default. I want to have my my main hddd user but my OS on the SSD without the user on the ssd, because it would take too much space. So basically I was my OS to run from the SSD but my user, download, App Data etc... to come from my main SSD, but I don't know how to do it. Help please?

    -Va

    My recommendation would be to open the C:\Users folder, then go to your user folder (probably 'Will' or a good thing?)

    Now take the record office and HOLD DOWN SHIFT while drag you it to another player.  When you drop, Windows automatically updates the registry of this folder paths so that all you ever put on your "office" (office of real desktop wallpaper) is actually stored on the other drive.

    Do the same for your Documents, downloads, photos, videos and other "Shell folders".

    You can indicate that a folder is a special folder redirection-able by clicking Properties.  If you see the 'Location' tab, then this folder can be redirected to another drive.  Almost everything in your user account folder is like this (by dragging while now shift is the quick way to update this tab 'Location' to redirect the folder to another drive).

    It is technically possible to literally redirect the entire folder 'Will' for example, but I do not recommend it for a typical user account unless you have some super specific needs, and redirect folders shell as this will get the huge majority of data written in your user folder.

  • Satellite Pro L650: Windows could not complete the installation on the new HARD drive

    At the present time, I have a 500 GB HARD drive installed. As soon as I got it, I did a recovery on 3 DVD media.

    I just tried to replace the HARD drive with a 1 to one. All copied OK and after dvd 3 that I was told to release the dvd. I did this and the computer turns off. I turned it on and it started to (don't remember the exact words used) set the drivers.

    However I have now received the message that "Windows cannot complete installation" and telling me to reinstall. I did it, but after the steps above have repeated the same message appears.

    Pls help.

    I don't see why my computer should be limited to a 500 GB HARD drive.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The computer is NOT limited to 500 GB HARD drive
    You can use more big 500 GB hard drives. You have confirmed that the laptop supports 1 TB HARD drive and the system recognizes the 1 TB HARD drive.

    The problem could be the use of the recovery diskette. Why?
    Because the recovery disk creates the same partitions that were available on the 500 GB HARD drive. This could create problems of system due to the large size of HARD drive.

    Solutions?
    Well, I think that you could install the system by using the clean installation of Microsoft Windows disk.
    Missing other drivers or tools can be downloaded from Toshiba page.

  • Updated the motherboard, processor and RAM and upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, after upgrade the external hard drive encrypted with bitlocker will not enter the password.

    Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

    Hello

    I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

    Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

    I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

    Hello

    Reassembly of the old computer won't help. You will always need the key to open the Bitlocker.

  • Windows 7 reassigned by external hard drive letters and PE8 do not accept the new letter

    Sometimes when I move my external hard drives around, Windows will eventually assign different letters for the readers. It seems that all the other programs I use understand how to switch to the new drives when looking for files, but PE8 doesn't. He asked me where the N:files/video/movie.prel file is located. When I find the file in O:files/video/movie.prel. Click on enter the PE8 returns with one does not find the file error and asks us to locate it again. I reinstalled PE8 in the past to deal with the problem, but is there something easier to do.

    The trick is to tell Windows to permanently assign a drive letter to this drive so that it will not assume that this is a new drive, every time you turn it on.

    This discussion to Muvipix.com tells you how.

  • CS5 Master Suite 2 drive will not complete the installation. Help!

    I have an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 v.. I am trying to install Adobe Master Suite CS5. The first disc had a little trouble being read first. It would auto eject after a few moments. Then on the third attempt it works beautifully. He finished his part of the installation, then Adobe Application Manager said: "Please insert CS5 Master Collection disk 2 disk to continue." I put the disk in it, then ejects itself after the computer tries to read it. I tried this story 20 times hoping that it was just a glitch the first disk. It still does not work. To make sure that it wasn't my DVD drive in the iMac, I played a DVD movie. The film has worked perfectly.

    My only conclusion at this stage, is that there must be something wrong with the disc. Please help me understand this. I have a few days of work and I want to transfer all my photos and work in the new software so that I'm going. Any help is appreciated.
