Did you try the F11 key during bootup? This seems to be the standard method to launch the HP Recovery Manager when you can't access the OS. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/hp-pavilion-d6000-recovery#post-97096 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:24:53 +0000 Bartman 97096@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>faiadnj. Hi and welcome.</p> <p>Have you tried typing "recovery" ( no quote marks) in Start Search?<br /> That should bring up Recovery Manager where you can go to do recovery.</p> <p>It might not be there though.</p> <p><img src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/bartman_3/recoverymanager.png"> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/hp-pavilion-d6000-recovery#post-97095 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:23:48 +0000 raphoenix 97095@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>faiadnj,<br /> ---<br /> You need the Original OEM O/S Installation that was in the Recovery Partition which was deleted.<br /> ---<br /> Don't believe the Recovery Discs sent to you by HP have full deployment installation capability.<br /> ---<br /> Regards,<br /> Rick P. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/hp-pavilion-d6000-recovery#post-97093 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:58:10 +0000 faiadnj 97093@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Ok, so I've had some problems with my HP laptop...</p> <p>When I found out that the recovery cds that had burned did not work, I got too frustrated and ended up ordering recovery cds from HP. However, since the cd I received wasn't specifically for my computer, I tend to believe that my computer isn't running as smoothly as it could be. It freezes up at least one time every time I use it and I think it has to do with drivers on the cd that HP sold to me. Recently, I have done some studying up, and discovered that the HP_RECOVERY partition that was deleted was recoverable so I decided to restore the entire partition. After creating my own partition, placing the HP_RECOVERY into it, and setting it as the active partition, I received the message "bootmgr missing press ctrl+alt+del to restart." </p> <p>My question is:<br /> Is there any way that I can get the HP_RECOVERY partition files to work? Or is there a way that I can place the files onto a bootable cd so that I can get a full recovery?</p> <p>I don't see why this isn't possible since I have the entire partition back completely. Though I couldn't get it to work, something tells me that it can be done; I'm just not the computer ninja I wish that I was. I know that some may think "why are you tryin to do this when you have recovery cds from HP?" Well, like I said before, I have the feeling that this cd isn't quite right for my machine. In addition, I know that the HP_RECOVERY folder came on the computer when it was brand new, and basically I am hoping for a miracle on a complete recovery of my laptop, which is reliable as far as not freezing up on me all the time.</p> <p>Any help would be much appreciated, even if it is to tell me that this is not possible. </p>
