Recovery Disk for HP Pavilion dv6 notebook

[ Edited ]

I purchased a HP  Pavilion dv6 notebook having Win 7 home premium installed. It had 3 system partions and and a C:\ drive. I made another partion and changed the drive letters of existing partions. After using this system for few months there are some issues with it and I want to go back to factory settings. I tried but could not recover my system. I dont  have recovery disks for my system. Kindly guide me how can recover my system to preconfigured state. From where I can download recovery disks for my laptop?

 

Thanks,

Re: Recovery Disk for HP Pavilion dv6 notebook

You can't download Recovery Disks, you have to order them from HP.

 

Or, you can try this>>

 

1.Right-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 and it will automatically boot into the Recovery Manager (without pressing F11).

Re: Recovery Disk for HP Pavilion dv6 notebook

Hey,

Since HP wants to nickel and dime people for these disks, can someone send them to me, or let me know if they can be downloaded from anywhere??? And, I say nickel and dime because these should have been included with the laptop or if the recovery partition is corrupt, they should be offered for free since we went and bought the product, the least they can do is support it.  The computer is a year old, and they can't service it or provide any thing other than purchasing the disks.  Which I think is BS, but that's my humble opinion. 

Please let me know if that is possible, thank you.
