Creating 2nd recovery disk set HP Pavilion dv6-1315tx
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:ProgramDataHewlett-PackardRecoveryhpdrcu.prc
This duplicates another answer and adds no new content. Please don't post an answer unless you actually have something new to contribute.

Unfortunately, You can create only one set of Recovery Discs as mentioned here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=bph07143
But You can ask your previous owner for Recovery Discs and clone them.

After many months of searching I finally found away. I give credit to https://sites.google.com/site/mybyways/info/hp-cyberlink .
My simplified method is first to show hidden files and folders, then find the following files:
- C:ProgramDataHewlett-PackardRecoveryhpdrcu.prc
- C:Program FilesHewlett-PackardRecoveryhpdrcu.sys
- D:hpdrcu.prc
Add .bak to the ends of each of these files eg: hpdrcu.prc.bak
I do not know whether this will work on all computers, but it certainly works on mine.
in my case, there also was%SystemRoot%System32Rebecca.dat
. Until it removed, HP Recovery Media Creator declined to start.

I have a Hewlett Packard Pavilion Slimline S5310f, running Windows 7 Home Premium and was able to make multiple 'Factory Recovery' Disc sets. (I only needed to locate TWO files!)
from C drive locate the file hpdrcu.prc, and rename it hpdrcu.prc.bak
( I located mine at: C:HPProgramDataHewlett-PackardRecoveryhpdrcu.prc )
then,
from the D drive locate the file: hpdrcu.prc, and rename it hpdrcu.prc.bak
( Mine was located at: D:hpdrcu.prc )
I only had to change these TWO files, and after changing them and rebooting, was able to use the HP Factory Recovery to create my 3-disc Factory Recovery DVDs.
Even tho I went to Folder Options and made it show invisible files, Search DID NOT show me these files, I had to dig for them!
Hope this helps anyone that has a HP s5310f Slimline PC running Windows 7 Home Premium.
Also, to make a 2nd or 3rd set, just follow the above again and again.

For my e9250t (a 2009 machine), the culprit was three files found here:
D:hpdrcu.prc
C:ProgramDataHewlett-PackardRecoveryhpdrcu.prc
C:UsersAll UsersHewlett-PackardRecoveryhpdrcu.prc
All three were hidden. Just rename those files, no reboot necessary.
c:UsersAll Users
is symlink toC:ProgramData
. That wasn't me who gave you -1 though.

My simplified method is first to show hidden files and folders, then find the following files:
- C:ProgramDataHewlett-PackardRecoveryhpdrcu.prc

Add .bak to the ends of each of these files eg: hpdrcu.prc.bak
I do not know whether this will work on all computers, but it certainly works on mine.
in my case, there also was%SystemRoot%System32Rebecca.dat
. Until it removed, HP Recovery Media Creator declined to start.
