Why freeze recovery?

I use an iMac, with El Capitan.

On a whim, I tried recovery.  (Depressing [command] + R on startup).  I _never_ arrive at a ' office with a menu bar of OS X & Mac OS X Utilities window.  [Here I quoted text on OS X recovery, although a former copy.]

I _waited_ 1 hour, completely.  After this time, the progress bar looked full but-frozen, for 15 minutes.

Fortunately, I have a power strip power.  Do everything to stop power of my iMac is to press a switch, by hand.  :-)

Yes gurus of the Macintosh, I you - all ask: ' what do you think I should do?  Thank you, a - lot.  :-)

I have _tried_ to install, iMac EFI Updater.  But I was told, this: "alert this software is not supported on your system."

Under about this Mac I see this:

OS X El Capitan / Version 10.11.3 / I have Mac (21.5 inch, mid 2011) / 2.5 GHz Intel Core I5 processor / memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 / startup drive Macintosh HD / chart AMD Radeon HD 6750 M 512 MB / serial number C02H...

Haven't downloaded the wrong file maybe?  Thank you.

  • 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.

    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:

  • Satellite Pro L40 - freezing recovery utility

    Hello

    I'm trying to restore my Satellite pro L40 via the recovery CD. The utility starts and then as soon as I select a language the recovery utility screen freezes with the list of countries endangered and section of flag having a small gray box that just overlap it.

    Does anyone have ideas, what is? I've never been able to get this new laptop to work, it is not the first time I turned it on and then I ordered a recovery CD and recovery utility is now a failure as well.

    This question is unclear to me. I got several notebooks A200 and P200, but I have never seen anything like it. If you aren't really able to use recovery DVD I recommend you contact the service provider authorized in your country. They can order for you the new copy.

    You may have some Microsoft CD/DVD installations to see if the installation of the OS can be finished without any problems. I really hope that this problem occurs due to recovery media.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    See you soon.

  • best2serve pile of crap recovery disc

    Hello

    Two weeks ago, I ordered a set of recovery disc for an HP Pavilion ms215uk all in a desktop pc.

    I paid £31.06 for drives that turn up. (7 days from order to receipt) - fair enough.

    However - they did not work. Disc 1 is OK, but on the insertion of disk 2, I got an error in Dutch (not English) that the system recovery discs would not work on this system.

    Great Stuff - Hp cannot even provide the correct disks.

    Good so I then sent their emails of support of shit and got a response indicating that they would send others.

    7 days later the disks turned up and guess what?

    Yes - they do not have work - same message - Dutch once again - and after inserting the disc 2 disc 5.

    It's 2 weeks - no recovery drive of work for my system - and 10 coasters.

    What the hell is happening with this crap company. No phone support (now I know why) and only contact by email - which they have not responded to and its now more than 24 hours.

    All brands on the site - even HP Hp can't help saying that I need to contact best2serve.

    Well I can't contact them because there is no way to contact them outside of the email.

    As far as I am concerned the disks are under warranty and that I should beable to call and ask why they do not work or have at least my money I can buy a copy of windows 7 and do a reinstall completely Virgin.

    2 weeks is not good enough - I'm just glad that the discs are not intended for a customers machine. Best2serve are crap - useless - and not very reliable from what I've read on this forum and the net in general.

    Oh - and discs are not manufactured or factory - basically, they are 1 x cd blank with green dye and 4 x dvd with purple dye. In other words discs burned and unprepared discs.

    And they are not scratched btw.

    So my question is what you do about best2serve or Hp?

    I have to go to the negotiation of standards?

    Or

    I have to create a website denouncing the best2web service and support - I could do a good job of it too.

    Your call.

    concerning

    peedoffbigtime

    Hi Paul,.

    As promised I have news on the situation.

    And here are my results.

    After many phone calls and e-mails to Hp and best2serve, I figured out that the Pc should be sent repair.

    That's why the recovery disks wouldn't work - pc necessary fixation. EVIL.

    The recovery discs would not work because I had installed a new hardrive.

    The recovery discs check the dmi information in bios or dmi on the "original hard drive" string that is automatically written in sector 8 hard drive at the factory.

    Replace the hard drive or the motherboard and your recovery disks do not work.

    BIOS updates can mess up too, the dmi information which was not the case with this pc.

    It's the original Bios HP 2009 - there isn't another available on Hp website.

    However for some reason any (nothing that I did at all)-

    Model number: MS215UK

    Serial number: 123456789

    Version identifier: 94WEv6PrA2

    The string Featurebyte: 333rd 2S2V and so on

    Part number: VG256AA

    The country Code: #ABU

    has all the missing since the information screen of the bios by pressing F10 to access the bios.

    It was like that for / to the plant.

    To solve this problem, I used an Hp dmi tool that is not accessible to the public, but a google search for cpc_dmi hp tool should get what you need. He made me.

    The 2010 version is the one you need.

    So, I used the Hp Dmi's tool and the cpc_dmi.exe of a bootbale disk file and published this information.

    Once I had done that and saved the settings of the chip rom all the correct information was shown on the system bios screen.

    Now armed, knowing this info has been tattooed in the rom chip system I proceeded with the recovery disk install again.

    I used the cd 'First use this disc' and then started the drive 1 0f 4

    This now gave me a good screen of Hp recovery option rather than the screen in Dutch say the recovery discs would not work on this system message.

    Disc 1 0f 4 installed perfectly and so the other 3.

    My system is now recovered and working as it did in 2009 when purchased new.

    Then

    I corrected the error of recovery disks don't work do not.

    I stuck two fingers up to the Hp support.

    I saved myself over £100 + by sending only not in Hp update bios dmi information. (FIX my donkey)

    That said it took me two days to get this working correctly through complete trial and error, but I'm a happy guy now.

    Oh - and don't will never buy Hp again. They suck.

    Thanks for the help

  • No recovery Partition - question Recovery Media Creator

    Somehow, I don't have a recovery partition on my hard drive but have Toshiba Media creator on my desk?

    Images below:

    No recovery Partition? :

    + The message was edited: no labour relations have been removed.

    Hello

    It seems that the recovery media creator software is always installed, but the HARD drive recovery partition has been deleted from the HARD drive.

    This is why the recovery media creator can't access the HARD drive recovery partition.

    What to say. In this case, you will not be able to create the recovery media :(

    But you can order this disc from here:

  • Satellite S50-B-12Z - recovery does not start

    Hi guys.

    I have Toshiba Satellite S50-B-12Z
    I can't start the recovery.

    When I press the 0 key starting system, information about recovery happens.
    I answer YES to the question if I want to continue the recovery and after this system appears as normal takes just a bit longer.

    What will happen? I remember I managed to enter the recovery menu once but can't remember how.

    I taught maybe I deleted the partition by mistake, but partition magic shows he's still there (not used status).

    Any ideas why menu recovery will not come to the top?

    Hold F12 for power up to display the start menu.

    If "HDD Recovery" is not found, or its load fails, this means that the recovery partition has a problem.

    You can order on the site of Toshiba recovery disks.

  • Pavilion dvd6: recovery disk

    Hello

    Is there anyone with the answer, why the recovery on my computer disc seems almost full. Is that how it should be?

    Thank you in advance.

    Expert /not/, G

    The HP Support forum is for all levels of PC knowledge.  We hope to help you learn more about your laptop.

    I'll post a picture bit that shows what should look like a recovery partition.

    In Windows Explorer, click this computer. The following image shows how the recovery partition should look like. It should be blue, not red and display the free space. This image is my current loan of the product HP Omen 15-5000 series gaming notebook.

    The following image shows what the recovery partition should look like on the inside. Avoid all other files there.  If there is, you can safely remove them. The result of their deletion will be that any warning error message goes away and the color changes from red to blue.

  • Satellite C55 - A - 1 K 6 - Partition which is Important for the recovery of Toshiba?

    My laptop is Satellite C55 - A - 1 K 6

    In the past, I have deleted Toshiba System Recovery Partition by mistake when I install the new OS for my laptop so I sent my laptop to Toshiba Service and they recreate standard scores and send back me my laptop.

    I need to ask this question to you now;

    When I opened the disk management in the computer management, I see two partition named Recovery. One of them is the beginning of the disc and it is 1 GB, another 11FR and at the and of the disc. What is the Toshiba system recovery?

    On the other hand I just created 3 * 4, 5 GB Toshiba System Recovery DVD by Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. Instead of I have those DVD am I still need the recovery Partition for recovery of my laptop in the future?

    Now, if I delete all the partitions on the hard drive now, can I still use Toshiba Recovery with these 3 * 4, 5 GB DVD?

    Thank you...

    Original recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, tools specific to Toshiba and utility and sure some additional software so it may not be only 1 GB. 11 GB partition is for the recovery image.

    > On the other hand I just created 3 * 4, 5 GB Toshiba System Recovery DVD by Toshiba > Recovery Media Creator. Instead of I have those DVD am I still need the recovery recovery Partition > my cell phone in the future?
    In general you don't need it more. With the help of your created recovery DVD you will be able to install the original recovery image whenever you want. In case that the HARD drive will be effective and exchanged with a new one, you can use these discs to install the original recovery image.

    Many people do not read manuals s and does not create a recovery media. After a few experiences, they are surprised why HARD recovery disk image installation doesn't work anymore.

    I hope that some other Toshiba laptop owners will read this so here are original recovery Toshiba recall info:
