Hello @AndreS96B 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Would you elaborate on what you mean by writing the file system wasn't copied correctly ?

HP has official articles on these matters, you may want to check them out:

Alternatively, you may try accessing what is inside the SWM files by installing and using free app called 7-zip, from www.7-zip.org

Use 7-zip to extract the SWM file(s)

When I start the recovery program it's can't run because the file 'RecoveryMgr.fbu' was not found

Thanks

Try downloading 7-zip software from www.7-zip.org

<make sure you select the proper version - either x64 or x86>

Install it, it's free tiny utility

Then, right click on any of the .swm files and choose 7-zip -> Extract here or Extract to ...

Then, see what will be extracted and if you will be able to see your files there from those which were extracted
