HP Recovery Will Not Function Even With Disks
I have been working on a HP Pavillion P7 1017C with Windows 7 Home Premium x64. It came to me after an unsuccessful attempt at virus cleanup. The Windows Installer was broken beyond simple repair, so I performed an in place upgrade of the OS to restore functionality. Prior to this I attempted to use HP Recovery to fix the system. It would boot and restart the computer before any options appeared. Obviously leaving the owner without recovery options is not an ideal situation. I can create a new system image, but would prefer to restore the factory options if possible. I have attached a dump of the recovery partition. I suspect the issue is that required files are missing. The dump seems to support that. Seems odd that the burned disks would be bad as well, but I suppose it's possible. Any ideas?
