Can't make recovery media [ Edited ]

[piwifrut]

Hey all,

My laptop is an hp dv6-3037tx

I just replaced the motherboard in my laptop after a failed BIOS flash. Now I have a new problem.

Before the motherboard was replaced I used HP Recovery Media tool to create a series of (5) DVDs to use in case I need to recover my computer. (FYI my computer is currently running fine so there is no urgency)

These DVDs worked great and I have had to recover my computer using them a couple of times in the past.

But now, ever since I installed the new motherboard, these disks do not work. When I try to boot from them I get a message saying they are for a different machine.

So I tried making a new set of disks using the HP Recovery Media Tool but I get this:

 

I should add:

This problem is probably due to the fact that I ordered an identical motherboard with a different HP Part Number to save myself money. I didn't expect any problems as the boards are exactly the same but I guess that is the cause?

And in case it helps:

Previous motherboard part number was 615279-001

New motherboard part number is 603642-001

HP uses what is called a bios Tattoo, the recovery program looks at this info and see's if it matches the disc, evidently it does not.

Use F1 at the start of boot, tell me what the OS and mothernboard number is, post it exactly like it is in the bios tattoo.

Thanks for your answer

I thought it would be just as easy to take some pics of the bios main screen.

Is this the information you need?

It will take a while for images to be approved before I can see them in this forum, if the serial number is in the image they will not approve the image.

I just need the OS and motherboard number, exactly as it is displayed.

Oh sorry didn't realise.

In that case it says OS is Win 7

and System Board ID 144A

win 7 pro or home? does it specify? I need exact wording.

Bios just says Win 7, but I am running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit
