tijmenflash Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hey all,I just bought a new laptop, the 'hp pavilion dv6-1215 sd'.I have one 'local C drive', and one 'Recovery'. Few days back i installed windows 7, to try it.But i can't activate my recovery anymore in the boot menu. When i press it, the computer just go on with starting up.I realy need windows vista back because windows 7 have only 30 days free trial. (and i have a windows vista licence). Also some drivers don't work on windows 7.What can i do?Looking forward to hearing from you,Tijmenflash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Presumably, when you press "it" you mean the F11 button on booting ?Before you started "experimenting" did you use the HP Recovery Manager to create a set of Recovery Disks ?If so, insert the first CD in the optical drive, restart the laptop, and then follow the on-screen instructions.If not - you have a big problem !!!

Boris Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I think HP do a recovery option without the Recovery DisksThey do - you activate it (from the Recovery Partition) by pressing F11 when booting :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
