• HP pavilion 15 laptop: how to create the recovery partition?

  By mistake, my little brother have formatted the recovery partition. I'm not able to refresh the PC through update & recovery option in the settings of your laptop... I have the unique language of HP Pavilion 15 notebook.windows 8.1. Please guide recreate me the partition...

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum. Welcome!

  I'm afraid that you can't create partitions of recovery if they are deleted. End users cannot do.

  If the computer is originally shipped with Windows preinstalled by HP (OEM of Windows for example), you can buy HP recovery media. They are generally cheap. You can use it to restore your computer to factory default condition. Here's how:

  And once you receive the recovery [DVD or USB pen drive] media, here's how to use it to restore default factory/Windows to a condition:

  If the computer is originally not is not come with Windows pre-installed, but you install on your own after that, then you need to use the Windows installation media to reinstall Windows. You can get Windows installation ISOs from the Microsoft web site and then burn it to a DVD > > https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8

• M6-1035dx Pavilion: clone SSD drive cannot locate the recovery Partition

  I recently bought a HD 500 GB of SSD to replace the original that came with the laptop.  The SSD drive I bought is slightly smaller than the original one.   I used the cloning software is Macrium.  Partitions, I am interested in cloning are the HPTools and recovery.  Stand have been cloned successfully by the software.  I put the active recovery as well.

  After swapping the drives, the system starts the HPTools immediately, but the options for the restoration part are "grayed out".  I can't access it.  I tried several times, and this is where I am stuck.  It seems that the recovery partition is not detected by the cloned HPTools.

  I do not have the recovery DVD, but I have the original HD with partitions intact and they work just fine because I recently test the recovery process.

  I missed well to clone the original HD somehow that the SSD is unable to detect the partition?  Maybe I missed a step?  The difference in the size of the hard drive causes a problem in the recovery process?  How can I remedy the situation and use my new SSD?

  Thank you for all your advice.

  Try the complete sector-by-sector disk cloning.  If you use Macrium, you will need a paid version. The free version just do enough for the advanced cloning procedure you need.  See the following web document to compare versions.

  http://www.Macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx

  BTW, an SSD detects nothing. This is the BIOS and the operating system that detects hardware, firmware and software.

  You can use HP recovery media successfully on an SSD or not, that has at least 160 GB of capacity. Your 500 GB SSD certainly has enough capacity.

  You can not download the recovery disks, they must be ordered:

  If you do not live in the USA/Canada, call the support number HP business PC for the country where you live.

• HP Pavilion x 360-13-s100nv: remove the recovery partitions

  Here the contents of disk management.

  Can I remove the two recovery partitions, since I'm not going to use this feature?

  (I have a full system image created with the tool Windows 10, registered in an external hard drive).

  geotso

  Yes, you can delete the partitions of recovery and reclaim the space.

  As for aid in the recovery of Win10, my opinion is that the integrated backup/restore solutions are unreliable, so I don't trust them.

  Instead, I have long relied on a third party solution known as Macrium reflect (MR).

  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
  
  I use all the time and it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make the backup of the image and at the same time or less do a restore.  In addition, MR has the ability to add a recovery Boot Menu entry.  This then allows you to boot into Windows re, and then you can use it to do a restore - when you cannot start Windows!
  
  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  Good luck

• Pavilion dv6t-2000 - cannot recover from the recovery partition

  Hey there. I'm trying to restore my laptop with Win 7 settings, but I can't seem to restore from my recovery partition. I tried the F8, F11 key and on the ways to office with no luck. In some of them, recovery option is grayed out, but using the recovery on the Desktop Manager, I have recovery option, but he says to insert disk 1 before continuing. I have no disc and I already have a previous restoration set the last time I got my laptop (about 2 years ago).

  When I click on my computer I see the c drive and d drive - what is labeled a recovery partition. I did a check of the recovery partition and there are no errors. It seems to work fine, except that my laptop is not to be used to recover. I know it's a major road, so I've never tested with it.

  Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated

  It is more likely that some of the files were corrupted on the recovery partition. At this point, since you have no recovery disc, I would phone HP to order recovery media.

• Pavilion 6b50ei: try to factory reset but the recovery partition/drives created are defective

  I have a pavilion dv7-6b50ei notebook pc purchased 2012. He always gives a command prompt pop up who don't stay long enough to read. I felt too there is a virus on it that my anti-virus did not solve so I tried the factory reset, but when I restart and press F11 it gives an error (something like a boot... is missing). so I tried my recovery disks. CD 1 of 4 ran fine but disk 2 continues to stop with an error. Now, the laptop will not charge because I think that the operating system was formatted during the recovery and do not know what to do. I feel disc 2 is bad too because he also gave an error trying to copy on a USB key. I also tried an external dvd and run the hp hard disk test; the hard drive passed the test. If I can get a new set of recovery discs, it would solve my problem. In addition, I look forward to ideas. Help, please.

  Hello

  There are two options available.

  1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can still read all the key character product activation 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• Want to K204TX: A factory reset will erase my custom partitions?

  Problems with Windows (installed programs are NOT displayed is the Control Panel / programs and features).

  When I got the laptop, she had 2 partitions (visible), a C:\ with almost the entire HARD drive is assigned to the and a D:\ (Recovery) of about 30 GB.

  I have since created two partitions more and resized C:\.

  At the present time, I have C:\ (100 GB), D:\ (The recovery partition, didn't monkey with it), E:\ (654GB) and F:\ (100 GB).

  If I launch a factory reset by using the F11 key, or the recovery disks that I created, it will erase my E:\ and F:\ partitions and re-create a huge C:\ partition? Or he will leave E:\ and F:\ intact and just reset the OS in the C:\ partition (100 GB)?

  Please answer, I have things in my other partitions that I can't lose...

  Thank you.

  Hello:

  If you use both methods, the hard drive will be reset to its status of "out of the box", then Yes, you will lose the partitions and the data on them that you created.

• Pavilion G6: Size of the Recovery partition.

  Hello

  I recently partitioned the main C: drive in two, provide a separate drive from the system and data.

  Since I did it, I continually won warnings that I am running out of disk space on D:, the recovery partition - note, I didn't touch this partition at all!

  The laptop is a G6 Pavilion, nuber product C1Y87EA #ABU.

  The recovery disk is 20.1 GB with 32 MB free; I'm sure that's exactly what it has been for the past 2 years.

  Can someone confirm the size of the recovery disk in case there is a problem with it.

  'No space' warnings flash now upward at a rate of several times per hour.

  If the size of the partition is OK, I can verify it? And someone has ideas how the stop messages!

  Any help, greatly appreciated.

  If Vista borrow a DVD Retail and use the product key on the COA sticker.

  I had problems with the computer a few weeks ago and had to do a disk/partition Acronis backup restore. Drive C: / (and all my other readers) are working as they should but drive E:/where is the partition installed normal recovery does not restore properly. I recently had another problem and tried to do a restore using the partition HP recovery and got the error messages it is not found? I didn't use the Acronis since the results had already been mentioned.

  HP web site does not list my computer and I think I need to order a set of recovery from my web research disc, but I'm going in circles on the HP web site trying to find out where to order or send an email to technical support. Looks like HP wants just to sell their hardware and then completely dump you after disregarding needs later? I am very frustrated with HP because it seems that if you have not purchased the equipment in the last 90 days you're in their "rearview mirror" when it comes to help?

  I still have to call their phone support since I had 'experience' with their offshore support in the past and would really like to avoid new frustrating experience with the entire HP support system.  Why can't I just ask a question and get a resolution - is it too ask?  Apparently Yes...

  Can anyone help me to get what I need to replace the recovery on my desktop computer partition and get it all working properly again? Thank you in advance for any help that will help solve this problem. Robert

  Well, since the computer came with Vista, then the recovery partition will be of no other value to reinstall Vista, which I assume is not what is wanted.  If the Windows 7 install disk is always available, then reinstall Windows 7 on this disc and new departure.  Was the original Vista 32 bit and the new Windows 7 64-bit, so is not "upgrade was/is possible, but a new install anyway."  As the other 64-bit programs have been added after the upgrade to Windows 7, installers will need to be rerun to get install them after you have reinstalled Windows 64-bit.  Otherwise, the Acronis image can be used.  Unless HP has published this same model computer with Windows 7 64-bit, there is no HP support and hense no recovery partition. Sorry

• Create the recovery Partition D on DVD - HP Pavilion 6620f

  I just replaced the original, slowly due to lack of 1 TB of internal hard drive that came with this PC with a Western Digital, which is 300 GB. When you restore the backup of the original image, there was not enough space to restore the recovery Partition D. PC operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium SP1.

  Someone told me to put the score on a DVD "bootable" in case of future need. 2 questions:

  1. What is the solution?
  2. If so, can someone tell me how to do? Or direct me to a place to learn?

  I'm NOT a technical person found thing in replacement of entire disk completely intimidating despite all the learning that I had! That's why I don't know what to do now - or if it's feasible even for a "non-techie".

  Any suggestions most appreciated! Thank you.

  Linda

  lindairene,

  Your correct. The DVD will be re - create the entire original scores in C and D on a hard drive.

  (1) the hard disk (in GB) must be the same size or larger

  (2) search the original hardware configuration. You have not changed the hardware cards.

• Pavilion 15-p045tx: I deleted the recovery partition and I don't have the disc

  I deleted the recovery by mistake partition while I tried to format my hardrives. I have no recovery disks when I bought the new laptop. I need help in getting my laptop to a factory State. Help, please

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

  I'm afraid that, as the recovery partitions are parties and if no recovery media is created, the only way to return to the factory default condition is by buying/getting recovery (DVD or USB pen drive) media. You can get the HP recovery media (website or by contacting HP support - these are the recommended means) or by buying some stores online.
