Recovery Repair Center CD Made On 64-bit Windows 7?
Mar 27, 2011
I have a question on the use of the Recovery repair center CD, which was made on a 64 bit windows 7 system. My friend has a system running Vista 32 bit that has booting problems, so can he use this disk, or does it need to be only a 32 bit Vista only type of recovery disk ? His computer is a HP Pavillion a1744x with Vista Business 32 bit installed. Also is that recovery CD a free download available to burn the iso file to a CD?
After I got my new laptop, I installed antivirus, windows updates, etc, removed bloatware and installed the software that I actually use. Then I created my System Repair disk (single disk). Does this disk include all software and windows updates that were on my computer at the time I created the disk? I have read that System Repair disks will only have the factory settings of Windows 7, but I don't know if this is the case for all System Repair disks or only those that came with the computer and were made before the computer was purchased?I've also read that a System Repair disk could include a system image. Is this true and done by default when the System Repair disk is created?
Just received my new Dell Inspiron 620 yesterday and am working thru setup options. One of the first things on my list is making sure I have the appropriate repair/recovery prep in hand for the inevitable All that came with the pc was a Drivers and Utilities cd.So far, I have created a Repair Disk...do I also want/need to create a System Image?I've only created the Administrator acct at this point, but will need to create at least one User acct for lovely wife (and it seems I should also be creating one for myself as well, and not using the Admin acct, from some things I've read).
I have a hp g62-231nr laptop and it broke before sent it out, got it fixed and everything was great. about four or five months go by and one night i was playing games on the laptop, the laptop died plugged it in and went to sleep. woke up in the morning to a black screen says media cable something something no bootable device please insert bootable disc and press any key. I downloaded the windows 7 system repair disc and popped it in it loads up says there is no operating system and load drivers cant find any drivers but there is a hard drive disk named Boot (x and two removable devices, the system repair disc in the dvd drive and removable device C. I cancel and press next and be brought into system recovery menu I click on startup repair or system repair. It tries to find problems than says cannot repair windows automatically I click details and this is in the white box.

I exit out and cannot do system restore memory test is 100% ok. BIOS system diagnoic says error code 03f0 Hard Drive Not Exist the main BIOS menu says the BIOS system is idle. Version for BIOS system F.17 i tried the recovery disks but it says that windows does not support the media on this device. I also have an .iso file of windows 7 home premium dvd but it doesn't do anything so im thinking its a bad .iso copy of windows somehow or I burned it wrong maybe? If there's any other information needed i will gladly post it just ask. also I cannot get to logon screen on startup. The hard drive makes the same soft spinning sound not beeping or anything. I need this computer for work its a business laptop. also i cannot access system recovery from F11 the words show up in bottom left corner on startup but even if you repeated hit f11 or hold it down it brings screen to black screen media cable failure check cable exiting pxe-rom..no operating system etc.
So I swapped mobo's and ran into some problems so I did a repair install to resolve them. After the Repair Install, Windows deactivated and is asking for my key again. Unfortunately I do not have my key and I am unsure whether I will be able to find it again (having moved around a few times, I am unsure if I even have the install disks). After swapping mobo's Windows did NOT deactivate, everything was fine activation wise after the swap. I don't suppose there is any way to recover my key, is there?Right now, I've noticed that a new folder was created during the upgrade called $WINDOWS.~Q that seems to have my old registry in there, so I am thinking of trying to back up my current (new) registry and replacing it's files with the ones in that folder and running Belarc to see if it picks up the key then and then putting my new registry back.deas other than this?[CODE]
I'm writing about my brother's Samsung R780 laptop (running Windows 7 64 bit), which recently stopped working. When he starts the computer, he gets the following error: "Windows Error Recovery." Searching around online led us to create a system repair disk on my laptop (which also runs Windows 7). When we boot with the disk in the drive, a prompt asking for our language (which is greyed out so we can't change it) and our keyboard (which we can change) appears. Without changing the keyboard option, we press 'next' and then it freezes. We've also tried the 'repair your computer' option in the Advanced Boot Options, but it also freezes.
I have successfully created a Windows 7 Repair Disc using the "Create a system repair disc" from Control_Panel->Backup_and_Restore
When I attempt to reboot, using the Repair Disc I have just created, everything appears to work - Loads files, Windows wavy flag, etc. however; just as I am about to get into the real stuff I receive the following message:
This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair.
This is exactly the ssame message I get if I boot from the original Window 7 DVD and elect Repair option
This is really important to me as when I use F8 during Post I do not have the options to repair the system here either and it freaks me a bit to be unable to repair the system should anything happen
im preparing to do a complete reinstall of windows 7. before writing zeroes to the entire drive, i need to be sure i have all the tools i need for the reinstall. im trying to make sure i have all the recovery media i need.is a system repair cd the same thing as a recovery cd?ive read through the tutorials on how to create a system repair disk, and have done so. although, both terms, "recovery" and "system repair" are used quite frequently in the tutorial.the next part of the process is to wipe the hard drive, i just need to be sure i dont wipe something i should have burned to a disk...
I'm working on a friends PC, a win 7 64 bit on a Lenovo Ideapad model B560. This thing has One Key Recovery installed.. Instead of having factory restore disks this tool recovers the system to factory defaults via a hidden partition that contains the restore data.More info about One Key Recovery here What is OneKey Recovery? - Yahoo! AnswersYou cannot change or resize partitions or One Key Recovery wont work. This PC had malware on it and can't boot into normal windows mode (that's the main problem) .. but it will boot into safe mode. I removed the malware with Malwarebytes but the PC still wont boot in normal mode. I tried to use One key Recovery but it refuses to work in safe mode.
One Key Recovery sets up the PC with 3 separate partitions. A C drive for Windows and pre-installed Lenovo software, a D drive that's large for data and the hidden recovery partition. I don't want to cripple this functionality so I can't do a complete reinstall of windows from a win 7 dvd. I thought I'd use a win 7 dvd to do a repair install instead - hoping this wont mess with the partitions but just fix the windows errors keeping it from booting normally. I'd be using the Win 7 64 bit with service pack 1 integrated from Digital River.I want to know before I try this - will it work? Will it fix the errors without messing with the partitions? If so, perhaps after it's finished, I will then be able to use the One Key Recovery option if I need it. I have to verify this before I try it and mess something up that I can't recover from
My friend installed Windows 7 (from internet) on my Compaq C700 (which had Windows Vista 32) I don't know if he used windows 7 32 or 64... Now I'm receiving an error message :0xc00000e9 Since I don't have the recovery/repair CD I will buy one but before doing it I want to know if I have to buy the recovery/repair CD for Windows 7 or Vista?
I tried to repair it using F11-F10-F8 but it didn't work.
EDIT: This is added by moderator. The problem system has been "restored" to factory defaults, so you can skip to post # 11 and be missing only some history. I have also at this time moved the thread from Networking to Windows 7.Okay, this is my boyfriend's laptop. He's left it with me to see if I can fix it. I'm at work right now, and it is at home, so I can't try anything until I get home tonight.Here'e the situation, as best I can tell:He has 2 laptops...one is old, and connects fine, the other is probably 6 months old - a Dell - Windows 7, and this is the one that is having problems. The other laptop has no problem with its connection - it is just the Dell laptop. He brought it over to my house last night, and it is doing the same thing. It finds and connects to my network, but it states that it is a "limited access" connection, which essentially means you have no internet connection (apparently).
So here is what I have found out. For one, his laptop came with few months subscription to McAfee...and apparently that is now expired. He's never renewed it. I did put MalwareBytes on there for him, when he got the thing, but I don't think he runs it unless he thinks there is a problem. I've told him to keep it updated, but I guess he thinks I can fix it if there is a problem. Again... (Once we get this fixed, he WILL keep this stuff current..darn it.) Anyway...he said he kept getting some popups - the ones that ask if you want to "allow a program to make a change to your computer"...and he always said no. I think he got several of those in one night. He ran the MalwareBytes, and it found and quarantined some malware (I don't know what sort of things - I was not there when he ran it) and then when he tried to access his network again, he got the "limited access" thing. So...something has happened, just on that laptop. I messed around with it a little last night, but I couldn't get anything working.
I am having a nightmare with my Dell Latitude E4300 laptop. At the moment it runs a continuous loop of start up repair and will not allow me to even attempt to get into Windows 7 until this has been done. When it runs the test it stops, giving the error message no OS files found on disk. Everytime I restart this process just continues.It is a work laptop, so I do not have and windows recovery disks.To make matters even worse, before the startup repair loop the laptop wouldnt even let me into the Windows system, even in safe mode. After attempting to get into safe mode it would stop at the driver classpnp.sys. Further tests would also show up the error message 2000 0146.I am not technical at all, so am hoping this is going to make sense to someone who can explain it in very simple lanuage.Just to reconfirm, I do not have any windows recovery disks - and cannot access safe mode at all.
I am unable to create a system repair / recovery disc by either running recDisc.exe or using the option to create a recovery disk in Backup and Retore. It says System Repair Disc could not be created. "The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057)". I have tried using both a blank CDr and a DVDr. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. I am wondering if this is caused by how I setup my dual boot system.
I installed Win 7 to a clean HD first. I noted that it set up a 100 Mb recovery partition. I then realized there was no good way to convert this to a dual boot, so wiped the partitions and set up four news ones: one for XP, one for Windows 7, one for data, and a 133 Mb one in hopes that the installation process would find and use it for the recovery partition. I installed XP first, and then Windows 7 and directed that installation to the partition I had previously setup for it.
I have an error that system32/hall.DLL is missing so I put in my windows 7 DVD ( I Have 4 DVDs for my windows, gateway, I always put the first one) so I could start start-up repair but when the windows files is loaded it keeps starting recovery mangment which gives me options to recover my hard drive to factory defaults (ie delete files on c and reinstall windows) ,why I don't get options to choose startup repair, how can I get it to start start-up repair?
I have windows 7, I have 3 harddisks.1 I use for my installation of windowsand on 2 harddisks I have my data but those 2 drives I made a mirror in Windows.What, if I reinstall windows, do I lose the data or does windows split the mirror?
I have just purchased a new laptop with Windows Home Premium installed. I would like to copy from cd's I made from Microsoft Works on my old laptop which had Windows XP. What is the easiest way to do this if it can be done. install Microsoft Works on my new computer?
So here is my issue. Was given a laptop recently, Pavilion g4, it has win7 home premium 64. I have a virus that has made it so I cannot make backup restore discs, system restore or anything. I was told to reformat my harddrive and fresh install win7 on there and that would correct the issue. But, no copy of win7 is in my possession.
When I open a PDF file using Adobe, only one page opens, not the entire document. To access the next page, I have to open a new window. On my Vista computer, the entire document will open. How do I fix or change so the entire document opens?
My daughter has an XP PC and an XP laptop that talks OK to a wireless printer. She now has a Win7 laptop. Am I right in thinking that the Win7 laptop cannot be made to 'see' the wireless printer because it has been set up on XP? It would be helpful to know before I get over there to spend some time investigating.
I have what I guess is now a pretty old Western Digital External Hard Drive (WD800B015) which worked fine on Windows XP, but the Retrospect 6.5 software that cam with it no longer works in Windows 7 (neither does my Oki B2200 printer or a Dell 924 all in one printer). Is there anywhere I can get drivers to suit or do I have to ditch the lot.
When I attempt to disable Windows fax and scan and internet printing client an error appears and all it says is that an error occured and no changes were made. It then prompts for a reboot as if something happened. I just did this install last week and finally have everything how I want it minus that. SP1 installed fine and no other issues. ic hecked the event viewer but see nothing in there when i try and disable the components.
so what the heck, is cyberlink in cahoots with the media industry? should I not be able to run a 2011 bluray disk via powerdvd7.3 and have to chuck 100 bucks to get this working again? I have been able to run bluray in this version before (Terminal Salvation). I'm sorry I don't keep up with updates and just expect things to work, crazy consumer I am. It's not a defective ROM this LG CH08NLS10, so you can get that out of your pretty little heads right now ? is there any wonder why I haven't gone all Highdef yet?
I am pretty sure that a virus cause this, right before my computer shut down on it's own my anti virus popped up and said that a Trojan was found but I didn't have to do anything. Then the computer shut down and when it restartrd started to load files and then go into startup repair, only it couldn't fix it. I tried a restore, but again it said that the startup files wern't there. I just quickly scanned the diagnostic details and noticed something that said "boot critical file C:CI.dll is corrupt".
I Windows 7 Home Premium. My windows is getting the updates but when it says configuring windows it doesn't do it and says it failure to config and is reverting back.I also cannot turn on Windows Security Center.I appears something happened 8/15. I tried microsoft's fixes and system restore which hasn't fixed the problems.[CODE]
I installed Win 7RC 32 onto a 160 GB hard disk which I partitioned. I allocated about 25 GB to C: system, and formatted the rest on to a D: drive for data. I've found that this may have been a mistake, as getting program installations to default over to D: are problematic (and not recommended by Microsoft, as per some previous threads I've read here).
And so I am running out of C space, and have several programs "manually" installed over to D. Quite frankly this is a pain, and I am about ready to throw in the towel and just try to extend the C drive. But maybe there is a way to avoid?
My question is this: what's my best approach to correct all this? Specifically, I'd like (if it is possible) for all my libraries/directories to default to D: so that I can readily reinstall Windows 7 (or downgrade) the C: System drive should it become necessary. This was my original goal and hope. I was able to have this with XP, although that was some time ago and I forgot the steps.
Anyone have an good suggestions for me, or should I just extend C: and give up this idea?
