HP Pavilion t3553.de
Microsoft Windows XP

Hello! I have an old Pavilion desktop, which I wanted to upgrade from its original 300GB HDD to a 480GB SSD. I can't run the recovery discs though (burnt 2 of them, like needed). It always stops at about 1%-3%, then the lamp on the disc drive is inactive and theres no progress anymore. Could somebody help me please?

Hi@CuzImDestroyer, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

The only option to reimage the operating system to factory settings.

 

Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

  1. Click Advanced system settings.
  2. Click the Advanced tab.
  3. In the Startup and Recovery section, click Settings.
  4. Click to clear the Automatically restart check box.

If you've been using the Recovery Partition (F11) to reinstall the OS, I recommend using the Recovery media instead to wipe out the HDD and create a new partition and fresh OS installation: Click here to obtain one, if you don't have on in your possession.

 

  or HP Consumer PCs - Using the HP Cloud Recovery Tool (Windows 10) Link 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
