  I just install Windows XP on a drive with 2 partitions & put Windows files:

  Boot.ini, NTDETECT.COM & ntldr

  (2) * NOTE * make sure that you perform this step for the right drive!

• Files saved on the wrong partition

  I was spared the HP_Tools partition backups (I don't know why...) and received error messages on disk space is low.  I think I've resolved now.  However, I am very confused.  Can someone direct me to an article that explains the difference between backups, recovery, and restore?  In addition, how and when each would be a good thing.  The item must be super base, however.  Thank you very much.

  Good afternoon!

  Thank you for you inquiry, I am happy to help you.

  I understand - you want to understand the difference between, backup, restoration and recovery.

  Typically, you perform a backup to store a 2nd copy of your data to avoid data loss in the event of a computer crash. When you make one is entirely optional, and is a personal decision.  If you do a lot of work every day and would be very unhappy if it has been lost or could not be recreated.  Recreating takes time.  If you do not have a lot every day, you can make one only once a week.  The only question to ask is how much you don't like losing your data or it would become difficult to recover.   It's time to make your backup.   Some institutions may make hourly backups

  You can choose any period of time is the best for you.

  Here is a link to System Restore: frequently asked questions to explain what is a restore point.

  Here is a link to perform a recovery of the system HP (Windows 8) who will explain the different types of recovery and what each will do.

  I hope that have answered all of your concerns.

• Apps to try to install on the wrong partition?

  Hello, I recently bought a month long subscription to Photoshop CC go with Illustrator, but I have a problem with the installation.  My C: / partition is almost completely full, so I install my programs on / d:.  I put both the installation location and the location of the folder to D:/Application.  When I try to install Photoshop, it happens to about ~ 45% it starts to extract, and then it said "Installation failed." When I click on "learn more," he said installation failed: not enough disk space.  Please free up space on C (sometimes it says C: / instead), and then try again. (- 30). »

  I had a very similar problem when installing Illustrator, where he would start at 0% then give me pretty much the same message.  Curiously, it fixed itself after some time for some reason any.  I tried to quit smoking and start creative cloud several times and that did not help.  In addition, another small issue; recently, when I open CC it says "Trial has expired" in Illustrator (I bought a year subscription), until I boot Illustrator and it pops up a window that says "check license" or something along those lines and then CC displays as bought.  I'm sure that the questions are not related however.

  Can someone help with this problem?  I saw a discussion for a few years there is a similar problem that doesn't seem to be resolved, so I'm a little worried that it will not be corrected.  I'm under 64-bit Windows 8.

  Thank you!

  Hi Catseyeguy,

  Refer to the code 30 exit and exit code 31 "low disk space" errors

• Installed Windows on the bad disk partition (C :) and meant for the recovery disc (e :)))

  Hello world

  My question is that I installed windows vista on the wrong partition. When I tried to do a re-install for partition recovery (e), I saw that the drive (C :) local was still installed with my last error when I first installed it on drive C: (OS) that is full. I didn't want to do, that I was going for the recovery disk (E :).

  If I re - install windows on the recovery disk now, he will have to complete partitions. I'm just completely start over as if I first had an empty space to install an OS right the first time around when choosing the right partition.

  It is on a latitude D630, where the BONE was full and the Data 2 which is the recovery disk (e) has free space that should have (c).

  Any help is grateful, thank you.

  Make sure that the important data that you have on the drive is backed up.

• How to install Vista from the recovery disk without defining partitions?

  Hello

  I have my recovery disk and I have installed a new 320 gb HHD.
  When I installed the recovery disc, it re done the 160 GB partitions in each (2 partitions more the 1 recovery partition)...

  But I want to dual boot with XP pro because of software problems and I prefer it sometimes...
  I redid my scores, 1 - 51 GB for XP pro(32bit), 2nd - 51 GB for vista (32 gb) and the 3rd - 210 gb is for storage

  How to install with Toshiba vista o/s and stuff that comes with it on the recovery disc, immediately to the 2nd partition without affecting how I configure the hard drive...

  I have about 100 GB of photos, music, and cam vids on storage, with nowhere to put them, so I can't risk, because some are copy only (so it might be a good idea to let me know how I save this s on my storage spread in the DVD please)

  If I can t, then can some1 please tell me how to get my Toshiba OEM vista off this recovery disk or a link for me?

  Hope all this makes sense lol... Thank you

  If you have so much important material best save is to buy an external HARD drive and copy all this stuff here. I recommend buying the small 2.5 external HDD and when necessary, you can take with you and connect to any computer, if you want to view or copy this file. External hard discs connected to other computers with a supplied USB cable.

  Return to your partitions.
  When you use the original Toshiba DVD facilities, you will have 3 partitions.
  WinRE - partition and it belongs to the Vista operating system. This partition is not visible, and this isn't some sort of Toshiba recovery partition
  -C for Vista partition
  Or-d/E to the DATA in the partition. This partition is recorded recovery image in the folder called HDDRecovery
  I don't know what model of laptop you have, but this configuration is on all new Toshiba laptops shipped WITHOUT recovery media.

  Using Toshiba recovery media, you will be able to get exactly mentioned structure of the partitions. Support to recovery facilities using you WILL NOT be able to install Vista on the second partition.

  So if you want to have the dual boot with Windows XP Home edition, you can do following:
  -At first, you are going to install Vista with support of recovery and on the second partition, you are going to install your version of Windows XP Home edition
  -At first you will be installing WXP and then you can install Vista on the second partition, but you must use the Microsoft facilities drive. Recovery media can not be used.

  That's all I can say from my experience with such things.

• 2 locations to "Program Files" - one on the C partition - and another on the D partition is possible (or option) so that you can 'choose' where to install a program in particular?

  Hello

  It's my first time display questions on a forum like this, so I'll try to explain in detail what I have (somehow... :)).
  Is it possible to have 2 "Program Files" location - one on the C partition - and the other on the D partition so that you can 'choose' where to install a program in particular? I don't really want to get rid from where 'move' the 'Program Files' folder on my C partition (I just do a clean reinstall of Windows XP), BUT I would like to be able to install several programs on the partition D place on C 'by default. "

  Here's the question: I have several programs that have no option to 'choose' where should be installed - they'll automatically C\Program Files. I want to install it on the D partition. If this is not possible, how can I transfer to the new location (once they have already been installed) in their entirety so that they are functional. I don't want to keep the remains, references and 'shortcuts' on the C partition. These programs should begin to malfunction, I have freedom to wipe the D partition and reinstall the programs without messing up the heart of the system.

  I'd appreciate any help, advice and ideas. Regarding my computer experience, I'd put myself in the novice category, detailed explanations would be a lifesaver! Thank you.

  Programs come with their own setup program and the program developer decides to give the possibility to choose the download location or not

  Regarding your concern about to spoil the central system

  Whenever you install a program, that it will create many items inside your main drive where windows is installed (in this case C:\) to install a program that affects the system to another drive does not affect your system

• win7 install from a copy of the recovery partition?

  I just bought a desktop PC HP G5135uk for my daughter, but she wants me to downgrade to winxp to win7 for her. As I understand it, the only way to save and install the win7 system later (this or any of my other PC) is to burn discs from the recovery partition. I don't want to lose the system as it was part of the price, but is not no matter what dvd - r at the moment, so I was wondering if simply copying the recovery partition completely on my back of the drive (on our network) may run until I can pick up some discs? I would also just that partition in place anyway, no format, simply install xp on the system partition.

  Advice or to monitor problems appreciated. Also, I hope the drivers are working or I can replace with versions mean for xp (downloaded all the drivers for this machine already as backup).

  Save yourself a lot of grief and burn the recovery DVD set. Usually only takes 2-3 DVD. I found that Sony DVD + R works the best for me to have several machines HP belonging to the family.

  Copy of the partition rarely works. I have tried everything recently on a laptop hard drive that wasn't when the owner did not (yet) a recovery set... didn't work. Software to create an exact copy of imagery would be the best chance to work by restoring the image of the hdd_but who rarely works either.

  BTW, the machine has the Intel G41 Chipset and a SATA hard drive, so you will need to change to AHCI Mode IDE controller in the BIOS to enable XP install. XP doesn't have SATA drivers. Or you can integrate SATA drivers with nLite and burn a new cd of XP.

• VCP exam question - the difference between the file exchange and the swap partition?

  I am currently a student at my VCP and stumbled upon a question and was hoping someone could explain the answer offered.  Essentially the question is asking why you must manually create a local VMFS volume.  The possible answers were: files of storage for the service console log, decentralized storage for all the vmkernel vmkernel swap activity Exchange files for virtual machines that are configured locally and swap files from service console for the console service RAM overcommitment.

  It is my understanding that the swap partition has its own format.  When you create the necessary partitions for installing ESX format the swap partition is 'swap', not vmfs or ext - 3.  Then, because the last three options are to swap/activity files, I chose the first choice, storage for the service console logs.  This study guide says I'm wrong and the answer is VMKernel swap files for virtual machines that are configured locally.   Of course, Miss me something here...

  How you store Exchange files on VMFS partition?  I thought that the swap partition is the only place to have to Exchange files, and then it is on its own partition.  You cannot store a partition on a partition.

  Maybe it's the difference between a swap file and a swap partition which is tripping me?

  Search for, swap space as it is usually is a place to store a replica of memory the system for the purpose of managing memory better (usually data that are accessed most often).

  SWAP PARTITION is now, for the ESX SWAP space.

  And the EXCHANGE FILE is for some particular VM swap space that can be used by the guest operating system. The use of this file is managed by VMkernel. Now, this swap file has some different features from the windows of i.e normal swap, linux or ESX swap space space.

• Portege 3490CT - I can't install XP using the USB dvd burner

  Hello

  I can't install Windows XP Home edition. I have USB-DVD writer and also an external recorder Toshiba on PCMCIA (CPI 5025a Toshiba) but he couldn t find any external recorder.

  I remove the HARD drive and format the extern in 2 parts.
  I first install BACK and copy the files of Windows XP Home edition on the second part, but I could also install it because of the conflict of the FAT and NTFS t. In the BIOS, I chose cardbus-16 bit. My CD burner works (tested before).

  Please help to install Windows on my laptop.

  You cannot install Windows XP directly because there is no driver for the external optical drive to build.

  Mainly, you're on the right track.
  Format the HARD drive, make two partitions the two FAT32.
  Copy the folder I386 from your CD to install XP on the second partition.
  Start the installation calling winnt.exe.
  Install XP on the partition of frist.
  After the installation is complete, you can use the XP "convert.exe" command to change FAT32 to NTFS partitions. Run "convert.exe /?' in a DOS window to get the correct settings."

• HP dv7-6b50eb: HP recovery launches the cloned SSD, impossible to install win7 on the SSD.

  Hello

  I recently bought an SSD to accelerate my HP DV7. So I tried to clone my previous 1 TB to my 250 GB SSD hdd, but it seems that it's quite simple. :-(.

  I have created the exact same partitions (with the same size, orders, except for my main Windows partition type of course being given my SSD is much smaller) on the SSD as on my old Hdd. After that I made an exact copy of each 3 partitions (HP Recovery partition, system and tools Hp) but instead of copying the windows partition, I left a void on the SSD as the size of the Windows on the old hard drive partition is larger (the data) than the available size on the remaining on the SSD partition. I thought that I could boot on the SSD drive and start the restore process to install Win7 on the empty partition. But when I restart the pc, it does not seem to recognize the boot SSD partition, he prefers not to say "No operating system found".

  I also tried to activate the 3 partition directly (which is the recovery partition) to directly on boot as the partition, but it did not work either. The partition to activate before it was the 1st partition (which is the SYSTEM partition), but he has not worked either.

  Can someone help me do that cloning to work?

  FYI, I did the cloning and the creation of the partition using fdisk and dd on ubuntu.

  Thank you.

  Hi Wawood and Mista B,.

  Thanks for your comments I have a previous message, but strangely I have not found trace of the previous message, maybe I forgot to press the 'POST' button:-s.

  In any case, I was thinking that I understand your remarks Wawood but my goal isn't specifically for the windows on my new SSD partition (not interested in reducing the windows partition, it is just a statement), it was ok for me to any re - install from the recovery partition, a windows 7 from scratch.

  And I'd say Mista B by saying that it would have been stupid HP do not allow someone to use the recovery on the same pc partition, just because it has a different hard drive.

  Finally, I managed to do what I wanted to for those who are interested (HP is not so stupid after all:-p), here's the method I used to clone my hard drive of 1 TB to my 250 GB SSD and keep all the native HP (recovery, hp_tools, System) partitions with a 1 TB hard drive works correctly.

  So what I have is:

  -J' put the SSD as a second drive on my laptop (I guess it should work in the same way if connected by USB)

  -J' I started my pc and downloaded the EaseUs partition master

  -J' ran the program and began by doing a thorough cleaning of the SSD

  -J' made a copy of the system partition of my hard drive of 1 TB to my SSD

  -J' made a copy of the partition my hard drive of 1 TB HP_TOOLS to my SSD

  -J' made a copy of the recovery of my 1 TB hard drive partition to my SSD

  -J' created a new empty NTFS partition in the remaining partition

  I'm done with the same exact score as agenda in my 1 TB HDD.

  1. THE SYSTEM

  2 NTFS empty

  3 recovery

  4.HP_TOOLS

  After that my SSD was not bootable, because the MBR has not yet been copied.

  Then I started a live CD of Ubuntu and I installed boot-repair and he ran.

  I chose the advanced options and set set the mbr and boot from the partition 3.

  I then put the partition recovery (partition 3) as being ACTIVE.

  I removed the hard drive of 1 TB of the laptop (to avoid any error during execution of recovery which ends with the recovered 1To:-p) beeing and replaced it with the SSD.

  I then rebooted the laptop and it starts directly on the recovery partition. I finished in the recovery strategy (I could not choose the recovery from an earlier point in time given that the windows partition is empty (no windows backup)).

  I chose over the full restore, the slight recovery with only OS and drivers and it does the job of recovery. Now that the of what I write this resolved thread :-).

  Hope this helps some people out there with the same questions.

• I could destroy the recovery partition.

  A friend ask me to format the laptop (windows 8) to clean the computer against viruses of countless. She also wanted to have windows 7 and I said why not... (I didn't know the mistake). Starting from existing and currently running windows install I deleted the main partition and system partition (without touching the sonysys and the recovery partition) than to see that windows 7 cannot install in this type of disc.

  (How the * you format these things with?)

  I decided to keep the windows 8 after a repair on the internet saying it was possible to install after an ordreal, but the compatibility with drivers of windows 7 was hopeless.

  Then I tried the tools of recovery for vaio, but... BOOM, error. They do not find a single partition/clone. After a check/repair of HARD drive, the application reveals even the option of windows recovery... .only the option of data recovery and HARD drive check demand.

  I need to use a windows recovery disk 8 no doubt, but there is not a disk (why retailers give a laptop without the windows disc and pilots by the love of God).

  Is there a way I can do a recovery from another PC using data disc I have download here?

  Please answer someone who can help the problem is urgent and guaranteed the repair/RMA is not an option.
