Can anyone resurrect my hp530 from death?!?

Thanks to this great forum, my problem started when i try to burn my set of Recovery Disc from my 7 months old HP 530 laptop operating on Windows Vista 32bits.

The process of the burning crashed along the line but not knowing to me because i thought the set of the Backup and Recovery CD is just only one DVD CD since the process stop on one DVD CD but later got it that it should be two DVD CDs. Foolish me, I was rest assured that I have the Backup and Recovery CD with me until that very ill-fitted day that I tried to recover my laptop.

Along the process, when it got to where there is REINSTALLING THE ORIGINAL CONTENTS in the Recovery Manager screen, my computer just show ”ERROR 0008, IF PROBLEM CONTINUES, CONTACT THE HP CUSTOMER SERVICE”.

The next option it gave me is to click OK or CANCEL. Of which if I did , It reboots and stop at the first black screen that usually show: PRESS F11 FOR EMERGENCY RECOVERY. Of which if I did not press the F11 button, It shows: ”BOOTMG FILE MISSING”, ”PRESS CRTL+ALT+DEL TO REBOOT” and it will be going through this loop throughout.

And to my HOPELESS burnt Backup and Recovery DVD CD from my D: partition, it just copy only few of the recovery boot data. I have tried the recovery CD I downloaded from this site but to avail. It only says after the startup repairing ''THIS SYSTEM CANNOT BE REPAIR AUTOMATICALLY''.

Therefore, I will like anyone here to tell me where on this site or else where I can get the real Backup and Recovery CD that someone might have burnt and uploaded online. I won't mind the gigabytes, I need to resurrect my HP 530 and I can't settle for Window XP. Looking forward to hearing from any good Samaritan. Thanks once more……lol

You can use the recovery drive to reinstall vista to factory condition by hitting F11 on startup and I believe you need to click on the advanced button.

Yes, that is where I was coming from. I have tried that before. Note that I said that the recovery process stopped where it is to reinstalling the original content. That is my computer is now blank without anything on it. TOTALLY BLANK.

Hi darrellsiz, will you let us know what happen in that "very ill-fitted day" which leaded you to perform a system recovery? Are you sure a copy of recovery disks will fix the problem? It may not be the case though. Are you able to get into the bios or boot into safe mode? If not, I would suggest you to return it to HP for a new one since it is still under warranty. Good luck and keep us up to date.

The classical tale of the supplier and lack of real cd's. Shame on them.

Did you actually try taking the error messages advice?

"...IF PROBLEM CONTINUES, CONTACT THE HP CUSTOMER SERVICE"

Thanks everyone , eventually someone borrowed me the real backup and recovery CD the he has burnt before which I used to revive my phone back. Thanks for your concern again. But that recovery CD I burnt on the site did not solve my problem in my own case. CHEERS.............
