  • after i renames both files .bat and after making the recovery discs do I make the hpcd files back to .sys

  • you'll find that after your done the program renames them back to .sys

  • After reading the comments I think the recovery partition on my computer is maybe corrupt, but I can access system recovery partition pressing f10 on computer brand splash screen, there I can do a destructive recovery, other types of recovery etc. so maybe its not? But if it got corrupt and I was not able to access it and perform a recovery from it I would be doomed because i didnt finish first set of cds! I would lose all my data so thats why i need a 2nd set! I am not computer savvy at all!

  • Heres my thought on it, You should try the destructive recovery. There if it works, I THINK maybe what might happen is that the recovery partition might get restored also. Its a maybe. I have a new video coming up real soon, I've been pretty busy lately. The new video is almost done. I just need to edit it together. If you can spare a few more days I will post it when I get it done. Len

  • i renamed HPCD.bat back to HPCD.sys PRESARIO_RP (D:) then copied it to SMINST folder. Closed out of them both and went into Recovery CD Creator and i got back the original error message about a set of recovery discs have already been created and that only one set is allowed. I went back into D: and renamed HPCD.sys to HPCD.bat and same in SMINST folder. I went into Recovery CD Creator abd i got again "No valid boot image found in recovery partition".

  • oh, i meant to go into the sminst folder and copy that hpcd.sys into the D: partition. be sure to make backups and restore stuff after you have done them, I don't spose you live in minnesota do ya? I could probably help you out in person. I'm gonna check something on my computer in the next hour and I'll send another message back with another idea.
