I recently replaced the Hard Drive in my HP Pavailion Notebook. I puchased the Windows 8.1 64-bit Recovery Kit DVD from HP.
When I ran the DVD's, everything worked fine with DVD #1. When I ran DVD #2, it only copyied to 65% and then it showed a pop up with this message - Recovery Manager Copy File Fails From:E:\PRELOAD\BASE22.SWM To:Z\RM\IMAGE\BASE22.SWM
Press OK to retry. Everytime I retried, it stopped at the 65% and same message.
I thought it might be bad DVD's and when I called HP to see if I could get a replacement, they told me it might not be the DVDs. They said it could be a setting that needs to be fixed?
Can someone help?
