Hi all. This article will describe a method for system recovery (in my Windows case 7x64 home edition) from the recovery section on hp laptops, more specifically on the hp pavilion dv6 6169. I’m writing about this because I couldn’t find such instructions on the Internet.
The background is simple: the licensed Win 7 installed on the laptop began to work extremely poorly. There was no disc with drivers and system included with the laptop. The fight against the OS by formatting drive C is over. Install pirated version I had no desire, I wanted to return the licensed one in its original form.

3. Boot from the disk, run Acronis disk director
4. Finding the partition Recovery, most likely it is hidden
5. Right-click on it and select “Mark as active”
6. In the warning that appears, click on OK.
7. After this, we make the changes, go to reboot, go back to the BIOS, change the priority to HDD, reboot the laptop again, after which recovery will begin from Recovery section. In the end I got a fresh one licensed Windows 7 s installed drivers. Ready.
Good day, users.
Regardless of the computer manufacturer, sooner or later any computing device needs to reinstall the operating system or restore it. This may be due to the most for various reasons, including virus attacks, deletion of important data and other significant factors. You can restore the functionality of the equipment different ways. Today I will tell you how to perform a system restore on an HP laptop. There are several main methods.
The easiest way to get your PC back up and running is to run the latest working version of the operating system. To do this you need to perform a couple of movements:
This mode allows you to start the computer based on the computer parameters, using which the equipment booted successfully. The procedure returns the registry, driver settings and other important settings.
It is better to use this tool when incorrect changes at the software level have caused problems.

Additional download options or disk( )
If the OS stops working as a result of a virus, return it to normal condition The distribution disk will help. We perform several steps:
If for some reason you cannot get to the corresponding menu, try using the installation files:
In this menu there are several options that allow you to return the operating system to functionality. We are interested in the second point. We select it, indicate the moment for return and agree with everything. At the end a corresponding message will appear.
Factory settings( )
One more convenient tool is to return to factory settings. This solution will allow you to cope with any operating system problems that are not related to installed equipment. What is it and how to launch the required tool?
This solution makes it possible to return Pavilion laptop G7 or any other to the parameters with which the device was purchased in the store. In fact, a clean OS and all the necessary drivers will appear on the computer.
It must be said right away that all other data from system disk will be deleted.
In HP equipment, the application is responsible for this function. Recovery Manager. You can launch it in the following way:
Users will see a new OS, be it Windows 10 or even Vista - it all depends on who purchased the laptop.
All that remains is to install the software.
Is not downloading( )
Some users may encounter a situation where the operating system simply refuses to load. For start the right tool We perform several steps:
Well, now you know how to return the operating system on HP laptops. In most cases, it is no different from the procedure with devices from other manufacturers. But there is still a special tool that only works on the above-mentioned equipment.
As the letters I received after the publication of the article showed, the seed fell on fertile soil. People write that the article was useful to them, which I am very happy about.
But there are also many letters in which users ask to describe the recovery procedure for laptops from other manufacturers. To this I will only answer what I said earlier: I will definitely try to cover as many ways as possible from various manufacturers. It just takes time and the availability of appropriate laptops.
For this purpose, I use computers that come to me for testing and writing, so there is a good chance that I will soon post detailed instructions for restoration of laptops, produced by the most famous companies.
Today I will talk about how to restore Hewlett-Packard (aka HP) laptops to factory condition. This also includes Compaq laptops, since these companies merged in 2002. Such models are, in general, called HP Compaq, but the presence of a different logo may confuse an inexperienced consumer.
So keep in mind that Compaq is also HP, with similar recovery mechanisms.
However, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that in HP laptops, unlike most devices from other manufacturers, the recovery partition, as a rule, is not located in a hidden area, but on a separate logical drive.
I would also like to remind you that all important data from hard drive must be saved first, as they will be destroyed during the recovery process. If operating system your computer has crashed and won’t boot, use the advice in this article.
It must be said that HP laptops provide the ability to save data before restoring, but I prefer to do such things by third party means, therefore, this instruction will give the recovery scenario when all the necessary data is previously saved.
And finally, let me remind you that the recovery procedure must be carried out with a fully charged battery and it is strongly recommended that you connect the laptop to the power supply.
So, in order to begin restoring the system, after turning on the power, we need to start making short presses of the Esc key until the following menu appears on the display:
To launch the recovery utility, press the F11 button.
The utility interface will appear on the display. Select the option “Restore the system to its original state when shipped from the manufacturer.”
We will be offered a choice between saving data and restoring the system. Since we assume that you previously saved the data, select the “Recover without creating backup copy" and click "Next".
We will be warned to turn everything off external devices. You need to disconnect everything that is connected to the laptop. Even a mouse.
After this, the laptop recovery procedure will begin. The display will show information about the actions performed. This procedure will take a long time. You can do other things for now.
