• How can I recover all my files that I lost in an accident? I had to use my system recovery disk and install drivers for my computer again. I lost all my files. Is there something I can do?

  Help!  How can I recover all my files that I lost?  I was answering an e-mail message when I heard a couple of clicks then my computer off.

  I thought that my computer was destroyed.  Nothing I tried would bring it to the top, so I decided to use the system recovery disc that

  came with my computer.  I've also downloaded all the drivers for the application.  My computer is back on, but I lost everything.

  It's like putting into service with a new computer.  I had a lot of important information in the files that I lost.  I've tried everything I know to do

  without success.  Is it still possible to recover these lost files?  Thank you very much for your help!

  Hello

  I'm sorry, but when you did the recovery of the system you have disabled your hard drive of everything, including your files.

  You now have a new computer.

  You can try this program (it's free) to see if he 'can' find and recover your files. no guarantee:

• Pavilion G6-2213 nr: cannot start using HP system recovery disks

  Hi all

  I have a laptop of Pavilion G6 2213 nr and I had problems and ran diagnostics from the system on it and he failed the hard drive of the short dst test, so I ordered HP recovery discs and a new hard drive on ebay. I have put in the new drive hard, pop in the first recovery disc in the drive, and when I try to boot from the cdrom drive, it says 'press any key to boot from the CD or DVD... ». After pressing a button, it goes on the page 'selected boot image could not authenticate. So I searched online and found in this case, I should turn on legacy mode and turn off secureboot. So I make this change in the bios and go out with gain and he enter a four digit code + enter to make the change in legacy mode. After you have entered the code, the computer restarts and wonder at new "press any key to boot from the CD or DVD...". ». I press a key, and then it takes me to a page in black/white with only a blinking cursor and never does anything else. With the new drive hard in, I ran the memory and the hard drive a broad diagnosis and pass the two tests.

  Does anyone have any suggestions? What is the DVD player? Or sata controller (not that I really know what that means, I just read in a post somewhere in a case similar to what is probably the DVD drive or a SATA controller).

  Any help is appreciated!

  I'll try that. Thank you.

  You are quite welcome.

  You will need to have a hard drive replacement, which is at least 160 GB of capacity!

  A 120 GB hard drive (or SSD) will not work with the Recovery Manager.

  The usb recovery media is the image recovery factory in about an hour and it is a sustainable product. If there is a scratch on the side of the label of a recovery disk, the entire set of recovery disks becomes unusable.

  A factory image recovery with recovery disks can take two hours or longer time to complete.

• Satellite P105-S6197: how to use the system recovery disk

  Greetings,

  I have a P105-S6197 and I followed the instructions on the recovery disk,

  1. Insert the disk or disk #1 in the drive.
  2. turn on your computer while holding down the button 'C' (release key 'C' when the display shows "Toshiba")

  but these instructions do not work the computer starts just to the top normally and do never runs the disk.

  Is there another way to get the disc to run so that I can completely reformat my computer to the way it was when it was first purchased.

  Thanks, Edana

  I can provide the same information as codes for:

  There are different options to allow booting from the CD/DVD drive.

  One is the C key (you have to press several times) immediately after that the laptop has been powered.

  The second possibility could be the F12 key.
  It would start on the screen menu and then you may choose the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

  Last but not least, you can change the boot order in the BIOS.
  The reader of CD/DVD (ODD) in the first place and the gaming laptop should boot from the inserted CD, bootable automatically.

• my computer crashed and restored using the system recovery disk. I saved all the files using a .fbw format. I can't read. What should I do?

  My computer crashed while updating. It's a double 4 year old HP desktop processor. I could get into the repair screen, but nothing would be useful. I backed up data (115 GB) using the tools available on a drive hard usb. They are under the folder MINWIN and meet 31 different files. All I get is the demand to put in the disc. I copied the last file on DVD, but it will not read it. All other recovery programs say there is no backup file.

  Hello

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop now?

  2 have you tried to reinstall the operating system?
  3. what program did you use to create a backup?
  4. do you get an error code or error message?

  According toOberwald, it seems that fbw files are generated by HP, not Vista backup tool. I suggest you to read the following article to restore files from Microsoft.

  Backup and restore: frequently asked questions:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions

  If you are not able to boot to the desktop, then I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1:
  Start in safe mode and then try to run the restoration of the system to a point before you install the update and check if the problem persists.
  Step 1: Start in SafeMode in Windows 7:

  Step 2: System Restore:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/products/features/system-restore

  Method 2:

  If you used a third-party program, and then try to restore using the same program and check that it works.

  Also check the FAQ from HP or post the question on a forum of HP.

• I bought a new hard drive. I don't have a system recovery disk. Can I load Windows Vista from another source and activate using my original product key?

  I bought a new hard drive. I don't have a system recovery disk. Can I load Windows Vista from another source and activate using my original product key?

  Hello

  There is no download available from Microsoft Vista.

  Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  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 determines which Edition is installed.

  Builders recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  See you soon.

  p.s. If the old hard drive is still installed and running before you change on hard drives and you never received the to purchase recovery discs, you can make the recovery discs from the recovery Partition which should be on the old hard drive. You will need to request that the manufacturer how to do as each computer manufacturer has their own way of making records of this partition recovery.

  It depends on the old hard drive still works.

  Two weeks ago, crashed my HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 480 t hard drive model.  It is a 1.5 TB came with the PC.  I bought a WD 1 TB hard drive and installed.  When I used my recovery discs, I received a message, "the system recovery disks do not support this computer.  You are not able to restore this system with these discs. "Because I had never used these recovery discs, I assumed I had their damn so I bought authentic system recovery disks from HP.  Yesterday them - even received training as before.  I called HP tech support and I was told that those recovery disk works with a hard drive that is identical with the original hard drive.  Located between the two hard drives that the original HD had a 3 GB/s, and the new is 6 Gbps.  Is this correct?  They "graciously" offered replacing my new hard drive with a hard drive that works for only $180.  Seems a little steep, but I am confused.  Is system of technical recovery disks?  I would like another opinion.  If buying a new motherboard out me of this?  If someone knows a resolution to my situation, I would be very grateful.  Help!

  Hello

  In fact, you have more options that will avoid spending more in $$. The first thing I would try is the utility that provides HP. It is used for when the set of recovery disks does not work with a new hard drive. Follow the instructions of this web document.

  View your results. If the results are negative, we can install the operating system on your new hard drive with another method.

• System backup Image against the system recovery disks

  Hello

  I'm new to the system recovery things and I have a question...

  I just bought a new computer laptop m7-1015dx of Pavilion and need to do system recovery discs... (which I realize restore laptop to factory default)... BTW, I have already created the system repair disc.

  However, I read an article on creating a system backup Image allowing you to recovery if lost EVERYTHING, all your installed programs, etc.

  First Question:

  Can someone tell me if I do the backup IMAGE of the system...

  Do I still need to create recovery disk (mfg default) system also?

  The second Question:

  If I create system recovery disks can I still this Recovery Partition?

  I am really really wanting to partition my C:\ drive... it is huge

  In addition, I hate to see storage folders involved in system folders...

  Currently using a symbol/character to separate them.

  From now on, I can't partition the C:\drive all partitions are used as... Max is 4

  and I have 4... C:\drive, System Partition, Partition HPTools and recovery Partition.

  Any help or assistance would be appreciated.

  Thanks for the research.

  Best regards, Jenn

  Hi, Jenn:

  I'd certainly recovery disks because in the case of a hard drive failure, a recovery partition is unnecessary because it would be on the failed drive.

  Recovery disks will do the same as a recovery partition. Reinstall the operating system and programs supplied with your laptop.

  I have also copy off the coast of the C:\drive SWSetup folder and store it on a portable hard drive that contains all files Installer provided with your PC (except MS Office 2010 Starter).

  You can also make your own Windows 7 installation disc and have a nice bloatware without installing windows, and then install only the programs you want from the SWSetup folder.

  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.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  You can get rid of all the partitions you want to if you plan to use recovery or disc of Windows 7 installation method that I posted above.

  I write my product key and store them somewhere for more security that many people report that it fades if you keep the laptop on your lap a lot, and then you wouldn't be able to use the alternative method to install W7.

• The system recovery disk - how do without floppy drive?

  I am trying to create a "system recovery disk" as part of the TOSSHIBA ASSIST (protect and fix the section).

  However, before we proceed, I noted that he was invited to a 'floppy' create a recovery disc but this model without this facility data can be recorded on a CD. I didn't get throughout the procedure and find that I couldn't finish it due to no floppy drive!

  Or otherwise just use the product recovery DVD - Rom supplied with the laptop in case of problem... not sure if this would hold the same data?

  Any help is appreciated!

  Hello Christine

  If you look carefully on this print option (shortcut) it is written to create the CD drivers & tools and in aria info nothing follow description allows to create an external symbol to the top of the caisse de dépôt drivers & tools.

  You use this shortcut, you can simply create Tools & Utilities CD and not the system recovery media. I did a few times without any problem. Equip your optical drive for CD - R, click on this shortcut, click the button BURN.

• HP desktop system recovery disk

  Since I have no knowledge on how to fix computers, I didn't know how to create a system image recovery disc which could help me to get this desktop HP p6-2330 its default factory settings.

  It happened that I deleted by mistake, a core file that opens the e-mail, change the pc etc apps settings in windows 8.1, if I click on these applications, they act like they're getting open, but no, they simply disappear, but the icon remains on the taskbar, at the bottom of the desktop and the progran doesn't get open.

  everything else works fine, my only problem is that.

  Someone suggeted me resett the entire computer, but it's something I don't want to do because some programs and files can are lost or deleted.

  Another friend of mine proposed me to get a HP disk system image recovery.

  Someone would be kind enough to advise me on what I should do in my case

  Any kind of help will be appreciated

  USIN a system recovery disk is much more serious that the use of Windows regenerate. You are lucky to have Windows 8 is installed.

  Everything you need to know about using Windows refresh

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-PC

  Once the operating system has been updated without affecting the files, you can perform a recovery from USB.

  I'll change this and put in a video for you. There will be two options. Chooose the method of usb flash drive. This video is displayed with Windows 7. The procedure is almost identical. Open the charm of the search and the type of recovery and click the HP Media icon that appears.

  Thank you very much

  Frenchquarter, welcome to the forum.

  I suggest that you download and install OpenOffice.  It is FREE and is open to all documents created in MS Office.  If it doesn't, at least it costs you nothing to try.

  I used OpenOffice for years.  Believe me when I say that he will do everything that will make MS Office and in some cases, the better.  At least, you will have to use in the future and you'll be amazed to see how they can do it for FREE.

• I can create a system recovery disk that gets installed and updated Windows 7, not the preinstalled HP Vista recovery Partition?

  I have a laptop HP HDX 18 that had 64-bit Windows Vista installed, with a Vista recovery on his C drive Partition.  Since then, I installed clean 64-bit Windows 7 Professional of his Microsoft licensed DVD, that I still have.  I kept with all (200 +) of Windows updates.

  Now, I want to create a system (Flash drive) for this laptop recovery disk, but my concern is that he will lead the recovery in its Partition Vista original, installed at the factory.   If I use W7 administration tools installed to create a system recovery disc, it will recover the old Windows Vista or Windows 7?  In addition, it would be nice to have a system recovery disk that had the latest W7.

  I'm not looking to install the drive link below; However, I prefer the system recovery disk to restore my laptop to its W7 system most recently updated, rather than start over.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/installing-reinstalling-Windows#1TC=Windows-7

  What choices do I have?  Where can I find the appropriate instructions?

• Using the "System recovery" Recovery Manager, it will erase the partitions?

  Hello, I was counting on the creation of a second partition for windows 7.

  What I want is two partitions one with windows 7 and one with vista. This is the easiest part.

  Now, I was planning on moving over my larger files, which is a lot of music and a lot of digital photos on the windows partition 7. Then, I wanted to clean install vista using the system recovery feature built into the computer. Now, I see it says restore my computer to default settings, but it's a little vague.

  So my question is, even with 2 separate partitions would be a system recovery remove them both and combine them into 1, just like when I got to my computer? Or would it restore my vista partition just like it was when I got it? I've really messed with the recovery of the system too, so I don't know if there is an option to select a partition, or something, I don't want to go overboard and remove my pictures and music.

  And there are a lot of things, like 50 + GB combined, it would take a lot of time to save it online, but if that's what needs to be done, so be it.

  Thank you!

  Also the laptop I use is a Hp pavilion Dv2500 with just vista on it right now.

  Hello

  The answer is no. The Recovery Manager has his job to do once tell you her to begin.

  The HP Recovery Manager will do its thing and restore your laptop provided that delivery. It is a destructive process in terms of all the space on your hard drive, except for the recovery partition. You will find yourself with a Vista partition (C and a recovery partition (D when it is done.))

  This means that when the recovery is complete and you have all the drivers loaded, you can use the Vista Disk Manager to create your partition in Win 7.

  I hope that this makes it more clear.

  Kind regards

• Can satellite L300-1AQ - I use the L300D recovery disk?

  My son has a Satellite L300-1AQ equipped of vista. All of a sudden will load is more the laptop and automatic repair options fails too. There is a blue screen that appears, but only for a second when I try the repair option - then the laptop stops. We have no recovery disks.

  Also, I have a laptop Satellite L300D-13 s that works well and suppose I could get a drive recovery- but prob diff drivers etc.

  Can someone advise me how best to my sons laptop (Im not concerned about retrieving data as all saved already), but do not want to return to the factory settings including Vista. Do not know if using a laptop recovery disk is an option - instinctively is not as ever as simple as that.

  All advice welcome please.

  Hi mate,

  I can t imagine that the Satellite L300D recovery disc will work on Satellite L300. The hardware platform is different, because a single machine is equipped with Intel CPU and the other with AMD processor, so there's a big difference.

  In addition, in the worst case, it could be a hardware problem and in this case the recovery disk does not work

  What can you do now? I think you have to options: either you install Vista from a disk of Microsoft or order you a Toshiba Recovery disk: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  After installing the Microsoft disc, you can download all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Then you will also get back to factory settings, but it takes more time in the recovery disk because it contains an image which already all the drivers and tools are included/installed.

  I hope I could help a bit. :)
