Reset factory settings but the recovery disc is not recognized

• Hard drive replaced, but the recovery disc may not work properly

  Oh here, my laptop (Acer Aspire 7730) will not start.

  I believe that I made the correct recovery disks when I got the machine before he fell, but I recently replaced my keyboard and hard drive with the same components after damage was inflicted on my laptop and I tried to run the steps in Acer recovery since the restore disc 1. He seemed fine, but after installing the 2nd disc I have now "BOOTMGR is missing" "Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart" and cannot get it to load the backup that I did when the machine was working before-hand. I can get into setting up and see that the hard drive is now identified in the list of hardware (it was empty when the broken hard drive was still mounted), maybe someone can suggest some options to solve the my problem please?

  I just checked the recovery disc 1 on another machine and found these folders and files on it...

  Is it possible that the backup that I did was for a specific hard drive, and because this HDD is different it won't find anything?

  Thank you

  Hi Debleena5 and thanks for the suggestions, but I've reached the re-installation of the disc by using a bit 'out of the box' the thought process.

  I bought a box 2.5 "SATA to connect to any computer via the USB port to try to get something on the corrupted hard drive, but this failed. I then removed my new hard drive (which began at start up OK, as I mentioned in the question above) and placed in the case and plugged into my Windows 7 laptop. Once he had run up to speed I started to explore to see what files (or even at all) had been transferred during one of my recovery disks. I've not found much until I changed the "do not show hidden files and folders check" save a file that has been locked after you change the permissions, I went further and ended at the request of then ran CHKDISK and of course he scanned my drive and found and corrected some errors very quickly. After that, I unplugged then I went back to my Vista laptop and re-inserted the new hard drive in the broken machine.

  At this point, I was wondering if the disk drive on the machine may also have been damaged so I plugged a DVD player external via USB and changed the sequence to boot to the USB device. I started the laptop and the drive started to load the files and I could then complete the resettlement of these two disks and then to set up the machine as if I had just bought it.

  I'm very relieved that I managed to sort it out and now I have to upgrade to Windows 7 on this laptop that I read on and seems easy. Just a shame I can't copy the installation of my 2nd, portable more recent.

  Thanks again,

• restored my Dell computer to its factory settings, but my backup files will not restore

  original title: restoration of PC for windows XP

  Used "files and Settings Transfer wizzard" to restore my Dell computer to its factory settings.

  I saved my files to an external hard drive.

  Restoring to factory settings worked fine however not recover my files backed up.

  A message is displayed (the location you specified contains no stored information)

  I can see the USMT2 file. UNC on my external hard drive and it's big enough.

  Need help to restore my files.

  Hi GeorgeGould,

  If it helps, try the step below and check out them.

  (a) access to the following location: C:\WINDOWS\system32 and copy the USMT folder (and all what it) to the location you saved the USMT2. The UNC file.

  (b) now when you run the files and the Transfer Wizard from the settings of the computer that you want to transfer the data, navigate to the location of USMT folder you saved above and click on ""migwiz " and that should start normal files and the wizard to transfer settings from this location."

  Note: Be sure to point to the location to the root, for example, if you save your data at X:\nelson\USMT2. UNC, then point the location to X:\NOT to X:\nelson\USMT2. UNC. The wizard should find the data automatically.

  You should now be able to successfully complete the transfer process.

  Additional reference on:

  Files and settings are not transferred when you use the files and the Settings Transfer Wizard 

• Vista will not start and the recovery disc does not

  Hey all,.

  Vista has just started to freeze during the boot at crcdisk.sys today

  I tried using the recovery disk, but it won't work, says the root prolem is corrupt system or something like that.

  If you need more information please ask!

  Can someone help me?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Yes, it would make a difference to what is the Startup Repair tool. Vista startup repair only works on his own Bootstrapper. You replaced one with GRUB, so you should use the ' nix tools to fix it. However, you indicated earlier that the problem occurs after the start load Vista, so this isn't something the Startup Repair tool will correct and is not likely to solve your problem.

  Your running recovery disk will also likely be wipe the GRUB bootloader, but you don't really have a lot of options when it comes to a corrupted installation. If you are unable to correct the problem to running chkdsk, then it is unlikely that any other action will work. You're stuck with the relocation.

• where can I get the recovery disc for my hp pavilion a6863w

  Hello

  I got a blue screen of death issue. So I was setting the pc to the factory settings using the recovery on the HARD drive system. During the process, the pc has picked up on and now it won't do anything. Right guard reboot, not even start in safe mode. My HP Pavilion a6863w did not come with recovery discs, a section on the HARD drive has been designated for this. Before this happened I was able to run diagnostics and everything going on. processor, memory, hard drive, everything passed. How can I get the disks to recover. I have a HDD Seagate Barracuda 750. Help, please. Thank you for your time.

• Re: I lost the recovery disc 1 for Satellite P10

  Hi there, my son lost the recovery disc 1 for its Satellite P10.
  We got disc 2 (drivers) but no disc 1.

  Where can I get an another restore disc 1. and what it cost around.

  Post edited by: merdat

  Hello

  Usually you could order the ASP in your country, but I m not very well that if you will be able to order this disc because the P10 is an old notebook series and possibly the recovery discs are not more available for this model.

  However, you must contact the ASP in your country to get a confirmation.
  Maybe you are a lucky man and the CD is available.

  Good luck

• HP S3120N. I replaced the motherboard and the power, now the recovery disks do not work.

  I'm not so happy owner of a HP Pavilion S3120N. I am running windows vista home edition. The motherboard went out so I replaced it with a Zotac GeForce 8200 - ITX Wifi series. Now the computer says it is noa a hp solution valid, and the recovery disks do not work. is there a way to fix this without buying a new operating system?

  Yes, return the Zotac motherboard and get an OEM HP/Compaq M2NC51-AR / HematiteXL-GL8E motherboard. I know that's not the answer you want to hear, but the recovery discs are locked to a specific set of HP/Compaq machines with specific HP OEM motherboards. Apart from this, you will need to buy a new OS.

• Pavilion 6b50ei: try to factory reset but the recovery partition/drives created are defective

  I have a pavilion dv7-6b50ei notebook pc purchased 2012. He always gives a command prompt pop up who don't stay long enough to read. I felt too there is a virus on it that my anti-virus did not solve so I tried the factory reset, but when I restart and press F11 it gives an error (something like a boot... is missing). so I tried my recovery disks. CD 1 of 4 ran fine but disk 2 continues to stop with an error. Now, the laptop will not charge because I think that the operating system was formatted during the recovery and do not know what to do. I feel disc 2 is bad too because he also gave an error trying to copy on a USB key. I also tried an external dvd and run the hp hard disk test; the hard drive passed the test. If I can get a new set of recovery discs, it would solve my problem. In addition, I look forward to ideas. Help, please.

  Hello

  There are two options available.

  1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can still read all the key character product activation 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.
