Why 5 recovery disks, when I used only 1?

Ok. I had a software problem. I have ordered from HP recovery disks. No problem.

I get 4 discs labeled 1-4 and an additional drive.

I load the first disk, wait until he asks for 2, 3 and 4, etc.. Never happens. After the first drive, he did his thing and it seems good. Facing up and running.

So why have 5 discs total when it held only 1? I expect almost the other shoe to drop or something, because I never loaded the other disks! What Miss me?

Maybe it's because you have a recovery partition intact on the drive from which some files were used. If you had installed a new hard drive he would have probably asked each of them.

  • Is it possible to order the right recovery disk set by using only the serial number?

    Hello

    I'm trying to order a set of recovery disc for what is customized for VAIO laptop. I would like to be able to put it back exactly the same way that they were shipped originally. For some strange reason, because I was not asked for S/N, I know that I will not ship the correct game.

    Since there is no return on the software, how can I be sure it's the correct game before ordering? Is their way to get the part number control myself using only S/N, if not, how about raising via serial number?

    I've already tried this https://servicesales.sel.sony.com/ecom/accessories/web/categorySearch.do?operation=subCategorySearch... but do not recover my particular model because it is Canadian model purchased.

    Your help is really appreciated.

    Thank you for your support.

    They are here:

    MODEL: PCG - 31112L

    MODEL NAME: VPCZ1390S (was a personal shopping via the online order of Sony of Canada with additional features and applications added - more than the Basic with the same model name model).

    Please consult this site raw and obsolete from where it was originally custom. Although it is more useful, but it can provide an idea of what I mean, the link is http://store.sony.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SYCTOProcess?storeId=20153&langId=200&catalogId=10080...

    I think the specific set of recovery disks only who would be able to restore this address to his State of origin as the day, it was shipped via Sony, should be stopped by S/N and perhaps along the ST as well. If it is ordered using just the model and or the name of the template, the result would be a generic RDS used on all of the same model and would not now for his counterpart custom, with still the same exact model information.

    SERIAL NUMBER: J004DSU8

    SERIAL NUMBER: 54047221-0000247

    Try to start with a utility cd to remove partitions, create 1 partition and format the hard drive. I had good results with the free Partition Wizard. Download the iso CD Bootable here . Download ImgBurn here to burn the image to a cd.

    When all operations with PW are done trying to start with your recovery discs again. Be sure to disconnect all external devices such as printer, etc. Just keyboard, mouse and monitor attached.

    If all else fails, you can buy a new recovery media for $20 worth of HP. They are available on the page of the software/drivers for your model:

    Hello

    This means that you can start t the creator of disc recovery or what happened exactly?

    Recovery disc creator can t be reinstalled because it s only preinstalled on your laptop. I think that in this case, your only chance is to leave the drive recovery HARD option and reset Windows to the factory settings. With the box settings, you can use the recovery disk creator.

    The system would expect the 1 TB drive.  If the defective disk can last another cycle, you can use the migration software in the smallest drive. Just read the procedure to reduce the original smaller size.

  • Envy Touchsmart K204TX: Envy K203TX recovery disks can be used to retrieve a K204TX feel like?

    Hi, the first thing I did when I got my Envy cell phone, K203TX, was to create a set of recovery disks.

    Then I discovered that the laptop has several questions.

    HP sent me a technician on-site, and technology, said these problems were caused by a material defective number (display board, motherboard and the case has a defective battery lock). It helped me to return the laptop as DOA.

    The problem is, HP store couldn't make me K203TX one another, I paid like $150 and upgraded to a fancy K204 TX.

    I have now the 204TX and this laptop has no problem at all, it's as good as it can get.

    My drive recovery K203TX of envy is always with me.

  • Why my recovery disk creation program cancels after 50% of creating files

    I'm doing a recovery disc for my Compaq laptop. It has Vista OS.  I use the recovery disc creation program.  The program starts and shows that it is creating files.  When the indicator progress says 50%, the program seems to stop, and after a few minutes, I get a message say that the process is canceled.  What can I do to create a recovery disk?

    Hello

    This recovery process belongs to HP Compaq, not Microsoft.

    They are the ones to ask about problems when you attempt to make the recovery of the disks.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/contact-HP/contact.html

    Or you could ask in their Forums:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/

    Here is the HP Compaq information on how to make recovery disks:

    Create a set of recovery disks operating system

    HP Recovery Manager to create a personal set of recovery disks. When you select the recovery disc creation process, the HP Recovery Manager examines the PC and determines how many virgins DVD discs will be necessary. According to the model, you will need up to ten or more CD - R or CD-R, or up to three discs DVD-R or DVD + R. The creation process can take up to an hour or more. Do not interrupt the process of creation.
    CAUTION: disks must be CD - R, DVD - R or DVD + r using No CD-R/W or DVD - R/W drives read/write because the creation process will fail.

    Create a set of recovery disks operating system by following the steps below.
    1. Click Start and enter the recovery in the field of research. Select Recovery Manager in the list to open the HP Recovery Manager window. Allow the action to proceed, if you are prompted.
      Alternatively, click Start , all programs , Recovery Manager , and then Recovery Manager . Allow the action to proceed, if you are prompted.
    2. Click Advanced options , the creation of recovery disks , and then click Next .
      The program appears to pause for about ten minutes while it examines the computer and calculates how many DVD-R or DVD + R discs are required.
    3. When you are prompted, put a blank disc in the optical disc drive and follow the on-screen instructions to create the recovery disks.
      NOTE: If a disc is inserted before the disc insert prompt is displayed, and the Recovery Manager does not recognize the new disk, press OK to clear the error message, then eject and reinsert the blank disc. In case this happens, without loss of data occurs, or damage the computer. It just "stops" the process of recovery that the Recovery Manager to identify the blank disc.

    After all, the recovery disks are created, label the disks and store them in a safe place. If the recovery disks fail when creating or damaged, you can order replacement of HP recovery disks.

  • Manufacturing recovery disks when the computer hangs when burning the DVD the first time

    I bought a new desktop computer HP Desktop Core I-7.  When I first connected, I started to burn the recovery disks.  The problem is, the first burned disc and then the computer locked up before burning DVD 2 and 3 and had to be restarted.  Now, I can't complete the game of recovery disks.

    The good news is that I have used the first disc to access the recovery partition on the hard disk to rebuild everything, but now I did put a good recovery.  Can I fix?  Or do I have to hope that my drive will never block?  Can I save the partition of subsequent restoration of a hard disk crash?

  • Swatches to Pantone which disappears when you use only the percentages of the swatch

    Hi I came across something that might be a bug in Illustrator CS6...

    Here's the thing... I did a drawing or model in the CS6 (colorspace) and have used several Pantone swatches.

    Some Pantone colors, I used only a percentage of the color, for example, the design consists of: 75% of Pantone 485 C, 32% of Pantone 1345 C and 100% Pantone 154 C.

    In the design process, I used several other colors Pantone, which are not used in the final design, but they are still in the tab/list of Swatch.

    For example, when you click on the triangle (top-right) > "Select" is not used all the.., Pantone colors which are used only as percentages (Pantone 485 C & Pantone 1345 C in the example) are chosen as "Unused" ?

    I've been using Ai CS4 prior to this version, and in this version, it wasn't a problem.

    I could you the percentages of Pantone colors without the shade chosen as 'Unused'.

    I don't really want to manual remove every unused nuance by dragging it in the trash.

    It would be such a time waste handling.

    It's really annoying that I work for a printing and design company, and the need to save the Pantone colors that are used in the design, even if they are only a percentage of the Pantone color chart.

    Could someone please explain me why or what the reason is that this is happening...

    I missed something?

    Thank you!

    When you created the hue of the color Pantone you did that made a shade? Or did you just leave it as it was?

    If you don't have whereas they should stay, but if you just changed the tint but did not save it as a sample then the pms color is no longer used because it is a specific hue. At least that's how it seems to work.

    I agree with you that you always use the PMS color and have to stay without the need for nuance, even if it a shade of each color is a good idea.

    I would say it is a bug and should be reported as such. Cn do you here:

  • Why the recovery disks do not work?

    Hi friends:

    My laptop is HP HDX18. He has broken several days so I had to send it to a repair station. I took my laptop station repair for a week. Engineers told me that some material had been changed, such as motherboard, LCD display, but also outer shell. I checked it and it worked fine.

    Before my phone was broken, I did a system recovery discs and they worked well.

    Now I want to restore the system to the initial setting at the factory by the recovery diskettes, BUT! It alert with the words ' this product does not support system recovery!

    Could you please tell me why not recovery discs work? and how to fix this?

    the devices that were replaced are:

    audio device

    graphics chip

    Chipset

    You can go back to that of the repair station and ask for drivers, they must provide you with the pilots because they are the only one who knows what motherboard has been installed.

    your recovery discs no longer work while you do a clean install of your operating system.

    Click on the star to say thank you.

    You cannot use an Asus recovery disc and product key to fix the Acer computer.

    Your license of Vista Asus is linked to YOUR computer.

    It won't work on his.

    It won't pass activation and probably will not yet be installed...
