Ability to recover HP (multiboot)

Information from the desktop:

HP Compaq dx7400 format microtour

Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz

32-bit, 4 GB of RAM memory

Vista Home Basic preinstalled OEM

It has the HP recovery Partition

I have not yet created a set of recovery disks

My plan:

I want to multiboot my desktop computer with the above specifications.

I will cut off from the main Vista partition to make room for another Windows operating system

Obviously:

If I want to take my computer back to its default of State (as it is now),

ALL partitions I create (in addition to those that already exist) should be deleted and

the main Vista OEM partition will need to be extended to its default capacity

and my question is:

HP Recovery will succeed in making all these things and bring back my HARD drive as out-of-the-box ?

If Yes, then I can use the recovery Partition or should I make a set of disks?

(since there is more than one partition to change)

Thanks in advance = D

The recovery disks will erase the hard drive and partition in a drives c and d, reinstall recovery d article and put the o/s software more hp in the c:

  • How can I recover a lost file bookmark and content and add to my current boolmarks?

    I tried to access a folder with several subfolders with important favorite Web sites. It's not in my favorites and I searched the entire library. I need to recover this file and add it to my folders of bookmarks existing without change or disrupt the rest of the structure of Web sites or bookmarks. I guess I can get bookmarked all the value of an earlier date, but I need just to this folder. I unfortunately did not a recent backup so I don't have the ability to recover from my backup. In that case, might do the same to my backup copy of my favorites?

    If you did a lot of re-organization of your files since your last backup, then you could try the following steps to restore only the missing folder you need (providing that it existed at your last backup).

    1. Save what you have now in a new format JSON backup file;
    2. Restore the previous backup;
    3. Turn off everything except the missing records;
    4. Export to a HTML file.
    5. Restore the backup that you created in step #1; then finally
    6. Import the HTML file created in step #4.

    It is not the most elegant solution, but it will accomplish I hope that what you need, if I understand you correctly.

  • Several missing files

    Hello

    I have several missing files in my iTunes Music, about 3000 songs, so about a quarter of my library. Some albums are partially there, although all the songs are in the same folder. I can easily locate the songs individually, but I don't have the ability to recover all the missing files, even though I followed all the advice that I found within the communities and by the Google search.

    Everything started when I backed up all my music, then deleted all the music purchased and tried to restore from iCloud, to convert a large number of these in m4a m4p songs so that I could read on my Android phone.

    Although he works initially, as soon as I actually clicked on a track in return convert m4a m4p.

    So I tried to reinstall all my saved music, but now he seems to think that they are all the m4p, when in my collection of current music UI have reinstalled m4a!

    I followed the advice of turingtest2 and run the script to find the missing files, but I get a message during the process:

    The function 'ExtFromKind' needs update to generate the correct file type extension:

    An example of a missing file path is:

    ITunes think the path to the file is:

    file://localhost/C: / users/BLYTHE/music/iTunes/iTunes Media / Music / Compilations / integral Chopin / 3 - 10 Ballade No. 3 in a-flat, Opus 47.m4a

    The correct path when I get on my computer is:

    C:\Users\BLYTHE\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\Compilations\Ultimate Chopin\3 - 10 ballad No. 3 in A_Flat, 47.m4p op.

    The difference seems to be in the file type. Rather than m4p m4a.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    As a clarification, what I actually did was to use iTunes game rather than iCloud to try convert m4p to m4a files. It does not seem to have been successful, but it was obviously kind of!

  • Do not sync open tabs

    I have about 20-30 tabs open in my computer (Ubuntu) and a new installation of Windows XP on my laptop. Both have the latest version of Firefox.
    I used the option to replace data in other devices with existing data in my computer. It seems to sync several minutes (the button have an animation), first in my computer, and then in my laptop when I open the browser.
    I get all my data synchronized with the exception of open tabs.

    In addition, Sync take into account groups of tabs? Usually, I organize my open tabs in groups when I work in several sections. I would like to have this exact organization in my two machines.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Looking for your labels in the right place?

    Firefox sync will not make your tabs open in the other browser, that it gives you just the ability to recover open tabs that have been synced from another computer.

    On the menu historical it should be a menu item "Tabs on other computers", if you select a new tab opens to display the sites of other computers.

    See here for more information: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/756513

    And Yes, tab groups are taken into account.

  • How can I get rid of the new toolbar that have been added by versions 20 and 21?

    I tried both versions 20 and 21, and both have the bugs below, so I ended up having to reinstall version 19:
    Versions 1.) 20 and 21 Add a new toolbar that has nothing more than a button "Firefox" on it--and no way to get rid of this toolbar is provided. It wastes far too much space on my laptop screen - button should be placed on an other toolbars, or simply part of the defined icon that users can use to customize their menus or other toolbars bar.
    2.) this new toolbar is not customizable. Therefore, I don't have the ability to recover space on the screen by the way all of my sidebar on the new toolbar, and then hide the MenuBar.
    (3.) the back, forward and stop. reload buttons in my menubar no longer work. Return to the navigation toolbar and display this toolbar do not solve the problem. Or I can right-click on a web page and select these functions in the context menu: they are disabled for life again.
    4.) I can no longer right-click on the menu bar or a toolbar and get a context menu you I can choose an option "Customize" - I can't ALL a context menu. In order to customize things for versions 20 or 21, I must first reinstall the version 19, make customizations, and then reinstall the version 20 or 21.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.

    Alternatively, you can check for problems with the file localstore.rdf.

  • Omen of HP: How to partition again my SSD 512 HP omen?

    I recently bought a HP omen (windows 8.1, i7 processor, clock speed of 2.5 GHz, 512 GB SSD, 16 GB of DDR3 RAM, 4 GB of VRAM).

    I'm having a problem with disk management (partitioning). When I open 'My computer', I noticed that my SSD is partitioned into two parts - CBank (460 GB) and Dshore (14 GB, HP recovery drive).

    Previously, I used to partition my HARD drive into two so that I use my Cshore to the files system and Dshore storage and program purposes. I work with many important files and programs that I fear could be lost in the event of a recovery of the system. I'm not even being able to partition my 460 GB CBank now under disk management.

    Please advice me in this regard on how to partition my CBank further and it is advisable to do this with SSD recent based computers laptops like mine.

    The first thing you need to do is to create a USB stick recovery. You will need a 16 GB flash drive.

    Be aware that any chenges in the recovery partitions will result in the loss of the ability to recover start-up or inside windows menu. Do not save anything in the score!

    Why do you say that you can not even partition your C: partition in disk management?

    Your operating system is partitioned into GPT format with UEFI support.  That means the main four-partition MBR partitions type limit does not apply. If you reduce the C: partition, you should be able to create multiple partitions without problem. Do not use the same drive letter that has the recovery partition.

    I highly recommend that you use a cloning software to clone a copy of your SSD, as he is currently in an external hard drive. I recommend using Backup software Paragon & Recovery 15.

    WARNING: since I'm a Microsoft MVP, Paragon Software provides copies me of reviewer of their software for me to see and use. I had great results with their backup products. Power completely backup hard drives allows me to really put the loans of HP product through the grinder.

    Create a USB stick recovery before you make changes!  Do not create a set of recovery discs!

    A set of recovery disks is very fragile and can be destroyed with a single scratch on the disc label. A USB stick recovery is, unlike a DVD, very durable recovery.

    If you install Linux on the hard drive it will change the boot loader if you aren't careful and is more you allow to start on Windows.

    Make a recovery USB key does not remove the possibility of using F11, unless you make changes to the partition D: Recovery. This is where the Recovery Manager starts from when you use F11.

  • Satellite Z930 - question on Win8 SSD partitions

    Just got the new Z930 satellite with the following 128 GB SSD partitions

    450 MB recovery partition
    260 MB EFI system partition *.
    9.66 Gb recovery partition
    Primary partition 8 GB *.
    100.76 GB boot, page file, crash dump, primary partition *.

    Only those that are marked with * are allowed to be deleted using the windows disk management tool.

    I'm assuming that the 8 GB partition is the recovery for a factory restore media. I intend on creating recovery media of course USB (9Gbrequired according to the creator of recovery media - 16 Gb USB recommended). Delete this partition, and then expand the main partition.

    Questions:

    1. someone knows what is the 9.66 GB partition and why it cannot be deleted? Possibly put into hibernation linked, but why 9.66 when there are only 6 GB of RAM installed (which would make the hibernation 4 GB partition)

    2. What is the EFI partition for?

    3. it is curious that if you take 4 GB (what the file hibernation for 6 GB of RAM should be) the 9.66 5,66 remaining and the score of 8 GB are basically the same size as the main 13.5 GB partition reported here for the z930 portege. Why Toshiba would squirrel away from the recovery media as well as space for hibernation? A way to recover the full 13.5 GB asmentioned in the z930 portege post?

    Thanks in advance

    > 1. Anyone know what is the 9.66 GB partition and why it cannot be deleted? Possibly put into hibernation linked, but why 9.66 when there are only 6 GB of RAM installed (which would make the hibernation 4 GB partition)

    I guess that the 9.66 GB partition called recovery partition is created for HARD drive recovery.
    You can retrieve the laptop using recovery of HARD drive and does not require recovery or recovery USB memory stick drive.
    But I wouldn't delete this partition because you will lose the ability to recover the HARD drive recovery unit

    > 2. What is the EFI partition for?
    EFi partition contains the program loader initialization for all the operating systems (in other partitions) on the HARD disk. If don t touch.

  • How to clean garageband on my mac

    I don't use GarageBand and it takes a lot of space on my hard drive. How can I delete it and all its loops and other files that go with it to free up space?

    If I do not recommend remove items that may be affiliated with other parts of the system

    or go about not understanding what it takes to restore these parts or difficulty

    any damage done to the system when you remove unwanted items, there are answers.

    This old article mentions AppCleaner is free, if the web site of the manufacturer of:

    And it suggests how to use Finder in OS X to find and remove the junk files;

    It also covers the warning on the use of cleanmymac and other bad software to try and do this:

    Your OS X Help Viewer (help in the Finder menu) can be useful to use other ideas of support.

    Or a google search sometimes bring stuff related to the themes of Apple, to include the official content.

    There is the principle of cause and effect which can be worse than to try to free up the 'other' space

    in OS X when more special content system that allows to work, are hiding in there.

    Another removal tool, Omnidisksweeper, can remove almost everything and leave you with

    a system that will not restart later. He can sweep honestly. The machine read before using:

    With doubles 1 TB internal hard drive and a unused external storage, I'm not dumping

    anything the system; especially if I see my ability to recover it online may decrease.

    Make a backup system full adapted to a reliable external drive Clone and test it before removal.

    A complete clone of complete system would be a bootable copy made by a public service, won't drag and drop.

  • Satellite U500/01b - loop Configuration

    Hi all

    I just bought a brand new Toshiba Satellite U500/01b. I brought home and tried to put in place, after recovering to its State initial 'configering for first use"appeared then windows starts and Toshiba configuration came and grew normally.

    At the end he told me he was setting up pilots and needed to restart, after restart the configuration of Toshiba starts once more, then configures the drivers and restart only to start the Toshiba Setup once more. The first power it gave me the ability to recover with windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit. I try it with the 64 bit

    There is no way to break the while loop its configuration in windows, cant alt tab, ctrl alt del-> Task Manager becomes just hidden behind the configuration window

    Does anyone have an idea of what is wrong and how I can actually get to use the new laptop?

    Hello

    I think that there is no loop configuration. I also bought new Satellite U500 weeks barely and after that first commissioning is the same. The Configuration screen for first use appears very often, maybe up to 7 or 8 times
    I could also switch between windows by using Ctrl + Alt + Delete, but I waited a bit until installation is complete. Since them my laptop works properly and I can use Windows 7 without any problem.

    So just wait a little longer, up to an hour. I think that everything is ok with your laptop!

  • Change the drive letter for the recovery partition

    The recovery partition is, by default, the value to D: which means that if I create a data partition, it is automatically in letters f: while this is not unacceptable, it is inconvenient.  I would like to change the drive letter of the partition data on D: and set the recovery as f partition: if I do this, it will automatically disable the ability to recover?  I am running Windows 7 Professional, which is an originally installed Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade.

    Hello Richard9, if you change the Recovery D: HP restore partition to another letter, the recovery procedure would not work if you ever need.

    If you have files HP Recovery discs, you could delete this partition and recover the capacity of hard drive D: and use the set of diskettes to restore HP recovery to reintall the original software and the partitions of the hard drive, all as they were when shipped from HP.

  • Satellite A500-15N: FN keys do not work

    Hello

    I hope someone can help,
    The function key does not work in windows (I mean here the keys Fn + F6/7 change the brightness during the windows loading screen). There also seem to be buttons along the top of the keyboard (commodity the power button), but these also does not work and never have (and if they are sposed to light up they don't do that either). To let you know where I am, I received my upgrade to windows 7 and installed as the instructions in the package yesterday, (although I had the lappi for a week, I waited for the upgrade before installing anything) but once it was installed, I found he had installed the 32-bit version After trying to re - install vista 64-bit of the unsuccsesfully partition, I finally have reistalled Windows 7 64-bit DVD upgrade, (I think I should add that when it has finished installing any additional software IE.) Toshiba software, McAfee, etc. was installed)...
    I downloaded all the software Toshiba on the site, including the update of the bios (V1.50) and the update of recovery, I searched on the web and the forums and although have managed to install the infrared port that there appear to be no driver for on the dirver for this notebook page, these keys Fn stupid are making fun of me anyway... Please help :D

    THX Telico

    PS. I have a Tosh A500-15N and I forgot to say that I tried to do a new installation to see if that would solve the problem, but the ability to recover from the hidden partition is not available on the list, you get to by pressing F8 as windows starts (although the partiotion still exists)

    Post edited by: Telico

    Hey man, you made it so complicated but in fact all it is so easy and it s pitty, that you have not written of this before you start the upgrade procedure.

    I did update Win7 on friends Satellite A500 month last successfully. This means, he had the factory settings (Vista 32-bit) and we have installed Win7 upgrade using the Toshiba upgrade kit. Laptop works perfectly.

    Back to your question:
    HARD drive recovery option (F8 and repair my computer) is available with the factory only settings.
    If I understand you right, you did a fresh install of Win7. This option won't be available more, and the image recorded on the second partition is useless now and can no longer be cast.

    You can get it if you reinstall Toshiba recovery image. Have you created any such recovery disc recommended by Toshiba?

    I checked Toshiba support and download page and Win7 64 bit is supported on your laptop model and you can do clean install Win7 and install all missing things also. You will be the factory settings but works fine Win7.

    If you need more information please let us know.

  • 2.60 BIOS does not work on the Satellite A200 - 22 c

    Hi all

    I made the mistake to Flash my old bios Satellite A200 - 22 c (PSAE6E) to the new version 2.60.

    As I did this, the keyboard does not work on the bios screen, so I am unable to manage anything in the BIOS.

    When Windows Vista 32B starts the first time, the keyboard does not work. If I close the session and then I it again, it works correctly.

    The touchpad is lost and I need to use a USB mouse. Is not a pilot cause problem, all the drivers are updated and are working properly.

    The question is: why Toshiba didn't allow users to download the old version of the BIOS? ¿WHERE or who do I contact to get the original BIOS? Why do the flashing utility make a backup of the OLD BIOS and then does not give you the ability to recover it?

    Please, help me to recover the original BIOS to retrieve my keyboard and my touchpad because I can´t find any message or anything like that to get in touch with the technical support of this web site.

    Thank you!

    Which version was old BIOS?

    By the way: you can contact Toshiba. They have access to the Archives of BIOS and they can provide you with older version of BIOS.

    Hi driverkeppe,
    Keep in mind that the deletion of this "reserved" partition that you lose the ability to recover to factory default (hdd recovery)

  • How to set up a RAID of 12 to drive

    Hello.

    I just bought a new Mac Pro with a Pegasus 6 X 2 TB of HDD.

    I read that they can be set in several ways.

    What I want to do, is use this drive for Final Cut Pro files.

    Can someone tell me the best way to implement.

    My Mac Pro is as follows:

    Memory: 64 GB

    CPU: Intel i7 core 12

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm not familiar with the RAID.

    Thank you.

    The user manual suggests that if the Pegasus promise has been shipped with drives installed, it is ready for use. If you want to set up a different way, they suggest that you download and install the utility of promise.

    Promise Download Center has links to the user guide and the Uility:

    User Guide:

    http://www.promise.com/media_bank/download%20Bank/utility/Pegasus%20User%20Manua l % 20 (English) %20.pdf

    I think you can set it up to easily use redundant (mirrored) or concatenated (just a bunch of disks). If you select interlaced RAID, you will need to make frequent backups, because any mistake breaks a striped RAID with essentially NO ability to recover files.
