Hp System Recovery F11 Doesn 39;t Work

[Ptolomeo Shop]

1Right-click on "Computer" icon and select manage.

2.This will launch the Microsoft Management Console.

3.On the left side of the MMC, click on "Disk Management" and it will show you all of the partitions.

4.Right-click on the "HP Recovery" partition and select "Mark as Active Partition."

5.When the warning prompt appears, select "Yes" - Reboot the notebook and it will automatically boot into the Recovery Manager without having to press F11.

I had the same problem and tried this suggestion of marking the recovery disk as active partition, but now when I reboot and go through the recovery manager I get error 101a. I suppose the recovery is messed up somehow and I need to get HP support involved...? Or does anyone have other suggestions? Also, any ideas on how I can at least go back to reboot without starting the recovery manager...? Thanks!

I 2 have a similar situation a dv9000 was giving to me to fix: the hard drive was mia so i found the spec and bought a new drive from FRY's (320 GB 5400 rpm(Seagate monentusLP) then had to order the mounting kit that included the adapter for the data and power...OK recv'd and installed tried to install XP and didnt work so some investigation on hp's site found that if the computer shipped with vista then you should reinstall vista...OK found that this laptop had 64bit version factory installed....ok

#2 FBI GUI Manager keeps running like 12 hours and the status bars are not event to 50% yet then seems like it hangs when it reboots itself so i manually power cycle and get back to the desktop (Sometimes) other times it will try to boot and the get a message that states "Operating system not found" so i manually hit the power button again the start it going again.

I have just about given up. now on the forth time trying to recover..Some times the fan runs for heat dissipation i guess and the screen is black with a blinking cursor. some times the optical drive will not run. and some times like now recovery is slow but working i just inserted disk #2 after using partition wizard to reset the drive. it will probably do its thing until after fbigui manager loads hp assistant the lock up and not do and thing. but i can read the part info with partition wizard.

If Windows has started misbehaving, perhaps after installing a new app or driver, using System Restore can resolve the issue. However, it can be frustrating when you fire up System Restore, only for it to keep getting stuck or not work. We're going to show you how to fix that problem.

If using System Restore from the System Properties window is giving you difficulties, try using Command Prompt instead. Doing this will restore your computer to the most recent System Restore point.

You can also try using System Restore from Advanced Options, which is in Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE). This is a good alternative if something during the Windows startup process is causing System Restore to not work properly (or if you can't log in at all).

If you're using a third-party antivirus, it can interfere with System Restore, causing it to get stuck or fail. Try disabling it and then fire up System Restore to see if it runs successfully. If it does, you can try a different antivirus or Windows' built-in software, Microsoft Defender.

Another reason you're having problems using a restore point could be due to file system errors on your drive. Reasons why this can happen include improperly shutting down your PC, interrupting Windows during an update, or a malware attack. Running a CHKDSK (check disk) scan will diagnose your computer's drive and fix any file system errors and bad sectors.

If System Restore is still not working properly after trying all the above, it could mean that the current restore point is corrupted. This can happen if something interrupts System Restore while creating the backup, or if your computer has a malware infection.

If you suspect malware is behind the corruption of your system restore point, run a quick system scan to check for it. We also recommend doing a full system scan once a week to remove deeper infections that regular scans can miss.

If all of the above fixes don't work, there could be something fundamentally wrong with your Windows installation. To fix a broken Windows installation without losing anything, you can try doing an in-place upgrade. It will reinstall Windows while keeping all your personal apps, files, and settings intact.

If reinstalling Windows doesn't help and the problem is significantly impacting you, you might have no choice but to reset your Windows computer. However, you will lose all your System Restore points in the process.

System Restore is a lifesaver, especially when your PC starts misbehaving after installing or tweaking something. Hopefully, you can now troubleshoot the issue, get it working again, and rollback your Windows computer.

I have tried System Restore on multiple Windows 10 Pro machines over the past few months, and it has never, ever worked. Usually, it takes an hour or two before it gets the whole way through, and then it inevitably fails. System Restore is turned on and has multiple restore points. Even if I try a different restore point, I get the same result. Is there some way of making System Restore work? All of these different machines can't possibly have corrupted hard drives or malware or some other problem. Thanks in advance.

@ComputerBeeBecause Microsoft Windows is more of a sales pitch than an operating system. Windows has been absolute garbage since the release of windows 10. It's invasive, restrictive, and most of all Bloated. Half of the "features" either break half way through, Don't work in general, or stop you from outright fixing any problems you have yourself.

Linux is very close to being a viable alternative at this point. I've been waiting 3 years for it to catch up, and it's very close to the cusp. Within 10 years, this site will be nothing but a garbage dump of useless replies that never helped anyone (it basically already is). I've never seen one answer from a "technician" here that actually helped anyone fix their problem. Just a generic response, and the question gets answered by someone else in the thread who managed to circumvent the problem in their own way.

Here's to the future.

Quit asking people what version they are on and fix your BROKEN **bleep** SHIT.

Remote desktop somehow magically got corrupted when I needed it most, my only recommendation from your half-assed support?

System Restore...WHICH DIDNT WORK. My server is down right now because Windows 11 is a fail.

I'm out 5 **bleep**ing days of work.

I might just have to switch to Linux, but I'll be contacting your sales team about a refund for my business.

Idea of the century for Microsoft, maybe if you didn't spend so much time collecting my data your operating system would be worth the $200+ pricetag. It feels like Everytime I get hardware gains, Microsoft finds another way to tack on another form of data collection.

I concur. I have never gotten restore point to work in Win 10, over several years, on a desktop or on a laptap. Attempting restore, after several minutes the error message only reads something about 'unable to complete restore,' and does not indicate the problem or solution. This problem occurred across all Win10 updates, and I have plenty of drive space, no viruses, and system/drive checks all show ok. Have not found a solution.

The process of bringing back a failed DC from a backup can be problematic. If this failed domain controller is not the only domain controller in your domain I would suggest starting over with that failed server and doing a clean install with a new server name and then promoting it to a domain controller. After you get the new server online you can manually remove any instances of that failed server from AD.

I was hoping that a system state recovery via windows backup worked similarly to doing a system image recovery. Meaning I thought it would restore the security ID of the old installation to the new one which I now know is wrong.

Since you are running an outdated version of Windows Server, the best option would be to recover the server to a virtual machine instead of a physical server. That may be much quicker. If that is not an option, I would still highly recommend you virtualize that DC on top of a modern hypervisor (Hyper-V Server 2019?) using Microsoft Disk2VHD Disk2vhd - Sysinternals Microsoft Learn or free V2V Converter V2V Converter / P2V Converter - Converting VM Formats .

Windows Backup uses VHD files as backup containers, but I doubt you can run those VHD files like a virtual machine right away. Still, it is possible to attach those VHD files to a running virtual machine to restore files.

An exact block-level mirror is true in the case of the hardware RAID controller is used. That is not the case with software RAID, unfortunately, since BIOS is unaware about the software RAID running at the OS level, which means it uses and accepts a single disk to boot from. Mirroring happens only when the OS is up and running.
