• M1V66UA: problem with recovery media disk drive

  my laptop is HP envy x 360 bought around December 2015(it is still guaranteed).

  Today, I had a problem with my laptop (inaccessible boot device error) and a HPteam even could not able to solve it and told me that the recovery order media disk.

  the problem is:

  I bought the laptop in the United States when I was a customer place and now I am in India .

  HP India has informed me that they will not consider my request for recovery media order disk since I bought the laptop outside the India and told me to contact them.

  My question is

  How can I order the disc of recovery in India?

  Hello

  First of all, you can download microsoft iso and burn it to DVD or USB without needing a key, so do a good job of it for future use.

  If you have a real Windows 10 installation the system map is saved as your key with microsoft, so you do not need a new.

  Once you have fixed starting problems, MAKE YOUR OWN RECOVERY MEDIA IMMEDIATELY.

  Jelly Beanstalk will find your product key for future use, but it is locked to the system board.

  Piriform Speccy and Belarc Advisor will also add your serial number for a knowledge need.

  If in doubt please ask.

• Help with recovery media creation errors

  I bought a new HP spectrum XT Ultrabook 13D-2100 (8-64 bit Windows), and I tried to create the recovery media creation.  I get an error when you try to use USB (Flash Driver) that declares "we live errors in the creation of recovery media. Please try again. "Even if I did a video on saving a media creation of recovery on a USB flash drive, it was a mistake. I've done five times, I n ' know what to do now.

  I'd appreciate any help for this problem that I really want to create the recovery media creation.

  Hello

  I would contact HP (the telephone number can be found on the corresponding link below) and explain that the Recovery Media Creator is unable to create a viable together records of recovery/usb media and ask them to send you a free replacement recovery media set.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

• 15 t-n200: replacement hard drive dead: what should I buy HP replacement, or everything will work with recovery media?

  I have a HP Pavilion 15 t-n200 laptop computer running Windows 7, 64-bit.

  The computer got extremely slow and work stoppage. HP diagnostic indicates a failed hard drive, and my warranty has expired. I DO NOT have the recovery media.

  My question is this: if I buy the recovery media for my HP computer, should I also buy HP hard drive for it to install correctly? Or can I just simply buy a HDD from a local retailer and use HP recovery support (and the certificate of Authenticity on the back of Microsoft) to reinstall WIndows 7?

  Some people suggest that it will work very well, while other members of the forum here have talked about issues and something of tattoos on the hard drive or the Council.

  Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!

  Hello

  No, you don't need to buy the HP's HARD drive, you can buy anywhere, but please use the same band (normally from Toshiba, but please check the label) for the compatibility and capacity or more.

  Kind regards.

• Satellite C50-A-157 Sandisk USB does not work in Recovery Media Centre

  I can't get Sandisk Cruzer USB to work in recovering from the media library. Have tried formatting but no luck.

  I read on another forum of Toshiba that Sandisk USB keys do not work and you need to use another brand.

  Anyone know if it's true?

  Thank you

  To be honest, I don't think that any USB Sandisk flash memory sticks don't work with Recovery Media Creator. But of course because of a problem of compatibility between the device and the software, it is possible that a USB flash memory stick would not be recognized.

  I have never known such problems with my Recovery Media Creator software.
  I could create a recovery media using two different USB sticks from two different manufacturers. One of them was a SanDisk flash memory stick.

• Satellite L855 - 12 X: how to use BD - RE with TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator

  Hi all

  My question is about the progress of the Recovery Media Creator.
  I was about to create the recovery and I noticed that there are several options (DVD 4.7 GB, DVD 8.5 GB and Flash memory).

  My Toshiba Satellite L855 - 12 X with a Blu - ray burner disc drive and I would use a BD - RE, I bought for backups.

  Does anyone have a solution to use this media?

  I guess that Blu - ray discs are not supported by Recovery Media Creator.
  As you said: the 4.7 GB DVD, the 8.5 GB DVD and USB Flash memory stick options are available.

  I think the 16 GB USB flash memory stick would be the best choice

  I recommend you to buy a separate USB memory key and to create the eventual recovery USB flash memory support.

  There are two possible problems:
  The CD/DVD drive laser lens is dirty and cannot properly manage any disk or disks are not entirely compatible.

  Recommend to clean the laser lens with a cotton ball and alcohol tip in most cases its pretty good for cleaning the lens
  Also, try to use other discs of different brands...

• Need help with the recovery partition/create recovery media

  HI - first thing I did when I got my thinkpad is a clean install of w7, but then I thought about it and restored the recovery partition, conviniently located at the end of the training, in order to create a backup dvd factory. Thing is, when I click the autorun (lenovoqdrive.exe) and select 'create recovery media', I get an error stating that "program files (x 86) \lenovo\factory recovery\recovburncd.exe" is missing... obviously since the operating system partition was crushed.

  I tried RnR and looked on the software + drivers page and nothing happens as "... \lenovo\factory recovery\" when it is installed. So, where can I download the program that creates the recovery discs?

  (I know possible to restore the operating system of the *.wim file but I want to leave that as a last resort).

  Okay here's what I did to who mightve had the same question: as mentioned earlier, I have restored the partition Q with (your favorite free partition recovery tool), then booted from a usb winpe (with imagex) generated from victory aik (free).

  first I deleted (from winpe boot usb) windoze partition with diskpart and recreated the 2 partitions S & C (and Q is on the left) by hand according to 'recovery.ini' found on q. then I restored S and C 'sdrivebackup.wim' and 'cdrivebackup.wim', respectively, using imagex.exe, which is actually two one liners.

  Finally, I tried the bcd to fixation by hand according to "bcdinfo.txt", also found on Q, but that did not really work... so I just jumped into a bootable win7 USB and he rewrote the bcd by itself (I assume). the last step has been fixing the mbr by using /fixmbr and /fixboot bootrec.exe.

  ATM I started just and afaict it behaves exactly like the first start-up of the plant. see you soon

• HP Envy X 2: laptop recovery partition (D) merged with another partition, not be able to create a recovery media

  I have merged my restore partition HP with another partition I created. Data recovery files are still intact in the New Partition. I have not created a recovery media. When I tried to create the USB Flash Drive recovery using recovery HP Manager media, I get the message that "recovery partition does not exist. How to get again the merged recovery partition and create a recovery USB Flash drive. If simply copy data from recovering files to a USB flash drive will work as a Bootable media in the case that need if in the future.

  @joy1964: should not have done that.  Messing around with the OEM partition somehow good enough recovery ensures it won't work not later, when you need it.

  Personally, I don't trust recovery integrated systems in any case.  You want to be able to recover from an image stored on a disk system large capacity Flash DRIVE or external.  In this way, if the disk fails, I can restore a functional system within minutes.

  Consider using a third-party product known as Macrium Reflect this.

  Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.
  
  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
  
  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  AND... you no longer have the recovery partition at all and can reuse that space for something else.

• Envy 14 K110nr: Cannot recover system recovery media, associated with PININST_BBV

  I have a HP Evny 14 K110nr. In short, the system upgraded to Windows 10, started acting weird about a month after:
  Lose access to resources (Task Manager, desktop, Control Panel, etc.)
  Defective devices (wifi, bluetooth, etc.), suspended connections, System Restore gave a lot of mistakes.

  Tried to fix the system, nothing worked (even the DISM restorhealth was not working and suspended 40%)

  Long story short, I tried to recover the hd partition and could not complete successfully, same thing happened with my recovery media.

  At the end of the recovery attempt, I get a BSOD and system resets. It was a loop like that for awhile.

  Ran Diagnostics, no errors, but I suspect it was the HARD drive as the mentioned system errors on it before the collapse.

  I replaced the HARD drive and started the process again, this time I have not received any BSOD, but after completitng, I get a message saying that the recovery was incomplete. Just now my system is a Clipboard and consider Ubuntu if I can't up the widows, but it makes no sense. I read through several threads that referred to this issue and I don't know if I've seen any absolute solution to this issue (none have worked for me so far). Here are a few:

  Hi @braveally,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  It's a great place to find answers and advice!

  You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the HP Forums.

  I understand that you upgraded to Windows 10 and then the system started acting weird about a month later with the loss of resources. and malfunctioni devices. You tried to do a restore but received many errors.  Then, you tried to do a system repair, but no luck. You tried to do a recovery from recovery and recovery but Media Manager once again without success.  At the end of the restore process, you have a blue screen and the system resets and goes in a loop.  You have run a complete diagnosis and all spent and that you have received error on the HARD disk before you replace it.

  You proceeded to redo recovery and you do not have the BSOD, but after, you have received the message that the recovery was incomplete.

  Here is a link to HP-HP System Recovery troubleshooting (Windows 8) computers that can help.

  You can also try booting in safe mode.  HP computers - Windows Safe Mode (Windows, 10, 8).

  If the problem persists I try to clean the optical drive, and then try using the recovery again.  You can try to clean it with compressed air or a disc to clean the disc. Also, check your disk recovery for stains or damage.

  You can also try to boot any disk from Windows and reformatting the drive to start over with the recovery.

  If it breaks down again it is likely that the discs and you will need a recovery kit.

• X121e - product with a USB recovery media recovery

  Hello, this is my first time using a community forum, so apologies for not knowing the protocols.

  I have a Lenovo ThinkPad X121e, which unfortunately is 5 days out of warranty. It is pre-installed with Windows 7, but there is a problem of Windows startup, so the only option available is the Startup Repair, which seeks the problems (and trying to fix). Unfortunately, the repair failed, but the main cause is:

  Disk system partition boot sector is corrupted.

  That leaves only the ability to perform a recovery of the product. When I choose this option, the files are not found, probably because I don't have the "Q Drive" partition - a few months ago, I followed the instructions to create a recovery media (USB) and free up space on the hard disk. I have a USB key, called "cbd_drive", which contains the following items in the directory root:

  Boot [folder]

  factoryrecovery [folder]

  USB. Tag

  winRE.wim

  I assumed that I could boot from the USB key to run the Lenovo product recovery, so I changed the boot sequence to use USB HDD but I get a message "Error loading operating system".

  Now I'm at a loss as to what I need to do next, so appreciate all the advice of the community. Thank you!

  No need to apologize, I thank you for your help and on reflection, read the link you sent, I think you're right... during the creation of the recovery the original media, there was no mention of the warning that you have shared.

  I think the problem is that my support of USB is not recognized as bootable.

  However, I thought you'd be interested... I downloaded one of the ISO files / free trial for Windows 7 offered by Microsoft and create a new bootable USB key. I used it to install Windows using the Lenovo product key and then I installed the Lenovo system update to get all the drivers. Everything works now.

  Thanks again for your idea.

• Corrupted files and queries on the Installation/recovery media

  Hey guys.

  So I've had my laptop for about 2-3 years now, it is a Toshiba model of course. I really need help. Basically, I foolishly managed to download some malware on my laptop. It was a mistake that I never knew. I used MalwareBytes to rid the cell of the malware. However. I noticed that my Windows store did not at all.

  So I went to the Microsoft Windows support to answer Tech to talk with someone about the issue. They found that the malware must have obtained in the system and so the file may have been corrupted. I've also upgraded to Windows 8.1 via an automatic update. I noticed that the PC settings and the store did not work at all as the files were corrupted.

  Someone from the Office of response team said that I needed to have my PC manufacturer installation media - if I didn't pay for their extra support - and reset the Toshiba operating system.

  Is there a way to get it? What does mean by "install media"? Can I reset my Toshiba OS to its factory condition?

  Let me know! Thank you.

  > Is it possible to achieve this? What does mean by "install media"? Can I reset my Toshiba OS to its factory condition?
  Each new Toshiba notebook comes with the pre-installed operating system, what we called recovery image. This recovery image is a software which contains the Windows, all necessary drivers, tools/utilities Toshiba specific operating system and some additional software.
  This recovery image is saved on the HARD drive and laptop user is able to reinstall the recovery image if there is a serious problem.
  In General, this can be done using HARD recovery disk image installation. Of course, for some reason, this image of HARD drive recovery is not possible. To avoid this situation Toshiba recommend creation of recovery media. Recovery media is DVD or USB created as bootable media and can be used for recovery image installation. This media can be created to use preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator. All this is described in the document s user manuals.

  Please note: when you buy the notebook this installation disc is NOT a part of the package. You must create one.
  After reading your ad, I agree that the best option for you is clean OS reinstallation. How it works under Win8 you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm
  Please note: after a successful updated Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows some of HARD drive recovery options are no longer available.

  If there is a problem with the installation of disk recovery HARD clean there is another option: you can order the original installation disc of recovery on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  Please, check the option for installation of recovery and post comments please.

• Creator of recovery media from Toshiba regarding the issue.

  Hi, I have a new Toshiba laptop and I would like to replace Windows 7 Ubuntu (completely - there is therefore no left of files WIndows on a SSD). I used creative recovery tool of media I've found among utilities preinstaled by Toshiba and I created the USB recovery.

  I wonder, when I delete WIndows and install Ubuntu in place, is the USB I created what I come to Windows?

  In other words: when I want to go back and replace Ubuntu with Windows, boot from USB and execution of recovery will be all I have to do to get rid of Ubuntu and Windows only?

  Thank you

  > I wonder, when I delete WIndows and install Ubuntu in place, is the USB I created what I come to Windows?

  Yes, the use of the recovery media (no matter if its USB memory stick or recovery disk recovery) would fix the laptop back to factory settings.

  Factory settings means that you get the same State as at the first day of the purchase.

  Hello. My laptop came with Windows 8, but I upgraded to 8.1, and then to 10. However, I wanted to return to his original, since State it worked better for me. But the recovery partition was no more, so I ordered a USB recovery media, who came today.
