Windows – Creating 2nd recovery disk set HP Pavilion dv6-1315tx

hp-pavilionlaptoprecovery-diskwindows 7

I have just recently got a HP Pavilion dv6-1315tx computer second hand. It comes with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. The first thing I wanted to do was to create a recovery disk,but it seems as if the previous owner has already created a set. I am from Sri Lanka so I cannot order a Recovery Kit from HP. Their support page is confusing.

After doing a lot of research, I deleted files such as hpdrcu.dat from the recovery partition as well as another location. I also searched for Rebecca.dat but to no avail on my whole system, but still it gives the same error.

I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me a method to create a new set of disks.

It worked for me by deleting 2 files. No need to reboot:

  • D:\hpdrcu.prc
  • C:\ProgramData\Hewlett-Packard\Recovery\hpdrcu.prc
