HP Recovery Disc Burning without using Recovery Manager (Restore MBR)

you can restore the MBR, the procedure is given below and then use the

F11

key to restore your system completely. After that you can burn your recovery discs.

This procedure will perform a destructive restore ( delete all data on the hard drive). So make sure you backup your data before starting out.

The recovery partition is visible as

D:

after a clean install. It may be another drive letter on your system so make sure you change it to D: . Explore this recovery partition, the files may be hidden so you may need to go to

Tools > Folder Options > View >

, select

show hidden files and folders

, and uncheck

Hide Extensions for known File types

and uncheck

Hide protected operating system files ( Recommended )

. Then you must be able to view a folder named

miniNT

and inside this folder

System32

. 

Make sure you have two files inside the D:\miniNT\System32 folder, the first one

MBRInst.exe

and the second one

MBR.ini

now go to

Start > RUN >

type

D:\miniNT\System32\MBRInst.exe /ini D:\miniNT\System32\MBR.ini /r /q

and hit enter.

restart your system, your system will boot into recovery mode & resotre your system completely, after which you can create your recovery disks.
