Recovery Process Not Working from USB

$

I'm running into a problem running recovery on my HP laptop.  

 

My laptop:

 

HP PAVILION DM1-4010US 

 

 I was using Ubuntu on my laptop for awhile and didn't preserve the Windows partion properly and I didn't make a recovery USB ahead of time (I know I'm stupid).

 

So I...

 

 1) Ordered the Recovery media from HP 

2) It came as several DVDs labeled: system recovery disc 1 of 2, 2 of 2 and a driver recovery DVD.

3) My laptop has no optical drive, so I created an ISO image from DVD 1 of 2 

4) Created a bootable USB with the ISO using Rufus

5) Booted from USB and ran "Recovery Manager"

 

Here's the problem.  Part on the fresh install works fine (Recovery Preparation), but eventually it wants to restart to system.  Upon restart, "Recovery Manager" pops up again as if nothing ever happened.  It wants to start the entire process over again.

 

Did I do something wrong?  

 

Is the fact that my USB only contains the ISO from one DVD (DVD 1 of 2)  a problem?

 

Thanks!

Which one?

If in case it doesn't have this function, is a recovery disc available?
Available for download?
Or purchase?

Thanks.

HP g62 340 US laptop - replacing failed hdd. Windows 7 OS.

My HDD failed mechanically and I bought & installed a replacement from Seagate.  I have a very recent system image on an external backup drive and ideally would like to just re-create the old environment on the new drive.  How do I get the contents of the system image onto the new hard drive? Reading thru some info, I realize I should maybe have made a system repair disc in addition to the system image? BTW, I can still access the recovery partition on the old hdd by using a msdos command prompt.  Thanks for any help.

Can anybody assist with the following? I purchased recovery disk for the laptop noted above and could not get them to work, I contacted hp support who told me that the disks were in all probability faulty and pointed me back to 'Best2 Serve' who supplied the disks, I have now received a second set and have the same problem that was apparent on the first set, the scenario is as follows;

 

I load disk 1 and after reformatting the hard drive the second stage which copies files to restore the hard drive starts and completes 100% ok, I then receive the following message;

 

Copy File Fails

 

From:  H:\PRELOAD\BASE\BASE.SWM

 

To: C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE.SWM

 

Can anybody offer any advice on this problem before I return the disks again, cannot imagine I have another faulty set as suggested !! Any help much appreciated.

Hii!

I've had my laptop for less than 12 months. It was being slow so I decided to turn it off and back on again. When I did this, the laptop displayed 'Preparing automatic Repair' then the screen goes black.

I don't know how to go about resolving this issue.

If anyone can help me in any way, I would be more than grateful.

Thanks!!

I have an HP Envy Ultrabook (Sleekbook) and want to make a USB recovery drive.  I know how to do this, but the process tells me that I need a 32 GB USB stick.  And my recovery partiton (D:\) is almost 30 GB in use.  Everything I read says the typical recovery partition is in the neighborhood of 4 to 6 GB.  Can anyuone tell me what would make my recovery drive so large that I would need a 32 GB USB stick?

Pavilion DV6 -No bootable device

Initially got a message of imminent hard disk failure.

Unable to boot to windows since.

Replaced hard drive and used recovery disks to reinstall.

Now, on power up, msg  No bootable device-- insert boot sdisk and press any key.

Have tried hard reset.

Have removed all power and reset bios.

UEFI recognises disk and will run (and pass) tests.

in Bios, hard drive does not show in boot sequence.

I suspect bios is corrupt.

Can bios be flashed from UEFI?

Can boot from CDROM but in command prompt, cannot change drive to hard drive

My Compaq laptop will not restore back to Vista

So I had a Compaq laptop that I got back in 2008 with Vista preinstalled. In 2012, I decided to try out Windows 8 Consumer Preview to see how well it was compared to Vista. Unofrunately, 8 was less satisfying than Vista, and I recently tried to revert back to Vista using the system restore utility. I backed up all my software, and when I ran the system restore partition, it failed and gave me this error message.

Then when I boot the system, it gives me this message

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
