Hello, @thepurohits – Greetings!
Thank you for joining HP Support Forums. I would be glad to be of your assistance 🙂
I understand you are having trouble while performing a recovery. To assist you better, I need to know the following details:
- What is the issue on the computer for which you are attempting to perform a recovery?
- Have you tried a system recovery from F11?
- Was this recovery disc created by you or was it shipped from HP?
- If the discs are from HP, did you receive any supplementary discs from HP?
- How many discs have you received in total?
- Once the 4 discs are installed do you get an error message, or does it sit on a blank screen or what exactly happens?
Alternatively, if you have not tried recovery from F11 menu, then please try the steps here: http://hp.care/2c7wZSQ
Expand “Performing system recovery on notebook PCs 2014 and newer (White background)” and follow the steps under “Recovery when Windows 8 does not start correctly”.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance please reply with the details requested.
Thanks & have a great day 🙂
