• x 360: delete the recovery partition after installing Linux

  Hello

  My x 360 laptop with 10 Windows works fine. I just installed Linux dual boot (w. Windows 10) on three new partitions. The scores are as below. E, F, G partitions are Linux.

  I have these questions please:

  1. is the recovery partition (D) no longer, now that I have partitioned the disk? (I did a recovery USB flash drive when I bought the computer)

  2. is it safe to remove the recovery partition (D)?

  3. There is also a small partition of 980 MB. What is c? Is it safe to remove?

  Thank you

  YCC

  

  Sorry, no.  You can not recover by using the HP Recovery partition after you change the partitioning scheme.

  As it is now, you might as well delete it.

  It will not hurt to remove it now because the HP Recovery works doesn'y work in any case.

  I know Macrium Reflect can backup and restore Windows and Linux distros because I have tried it, myself.

  Good luck

• What is disadvantages of creating partition after installing windows Xp or windows 7 or Windows 8?

  What is disadvantages of creating partition after installing windows Xp or windows 7 or Windows 8?

  None in general, you can assign optical readers or card readers a different drive letter for drive letters may be consecutive.

  Specifically, if you're talking about reducing the existing operating system partition it is pretty reliable but could save all important files 1.

  The choice to create more partitions during setup of the system instead of when Windows is online I would choose the first when possible.

• HP 450-011: delete the recovery partition after upgrade to win 10?

  I have a new HP 450-011 and it came with Win 8.1 and the recovery with the letter D: drive partition.  I did the upgrade to windows 10.  I made a set of recovery DVD for win installation 8.1.  Is there a reason for me not to delete the D: drive and replace it with my information?  I seriously doubt I'll want to roll back to 8.1 Win.

  Greetings,

  Have you tested the Win 8.1 HP Recovery disks before installing Win 10?

  A question is: If you need technical assistance from HP tech for a possible hardware problem. HP normally requires that the factory installed operating system to take in charge. This policy of HP may have changed during the upgrade to win 10. I do not suspect.

  You can export the recovery, Partition because it will not work now in any case.

  But you need a way to go back to win 8.1 when you need HP warranty support.

  Since you have already upgraded to Win 10, the only way to check the recovery of 8.1 Win disks is to use them and start all over again. Or the support of disks/USB recovery HP Win 8.1 on a new equivalent or larger HDD or SSD. A good installation means that you have now the factory install on this disk.

  It's a lot of work.

  The problem of guaranteed support is your problem.

  I have eliminated this problem by installing Win 10 on a new SSD. I have HP Win 8.1 on a separate SSD and win 10 on a different SSD. Possible guarantee problem solution means earn 8.1 running on HP SSD factory to check the problem of winning 10 SSD.

  It is not possible for me to every time the format of the system

  kindly, please give solution.

  My system is connected to the network with 3 PCs and all are licensed copy.

  Hello

  Welcome to the Forums Community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

  According to the description, you get an error message "FAILED CONNECTION USER INIT" after installing Windows updates.

  From my research, this problem occurs if the Userinit key in the Windows registry has been changed. For example, this problem may occur if the Userinit key has a value, but no binary data.

  I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.

  Method 1:

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Step 2: Check the value and binary Userinit registry data

  Important: The following instructions contain the steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information, view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  Back up the registry
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

  a. start Registry Editor. To do this, click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

  b. click continue.

  c. Locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

  d. in the right pane, right-click Userinit, and then click change.

  e. in the value data box, type hard disk:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe, and then click OK.

  Note: The placeholder of the hard drive refers to the drive on which Windows Vista is installed.

  f. close the registry editor.

  g. restart the computer.

  Method 2:

  Restore the system to an earlier point before installing this application.

  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore
  System Restore can return your files system to a point in time before you noticed a problem, without affecting documents, photos, or other personal files. If the system restore does not resolve the problem, you can undo the restore operation and choose a different restore point.

• safe to remove the recovery partition after having made discs?

  As the title suggests, made the recovery discs and want to use the hard disk space that is absorbed by the recovery partition.  Is it safe to delete them or will the lack of it on the hard drive cause problems with the recovery discs if ever needed?

  (G5135uk desktop HP just lowered from 7 to XP PC)

  In your case of removal of Windows 7 as the operating system and using Windows XP, I would say it is safe.  If Windows 7 was used, I would recommend to keep in tact.  If the recovery disks are used, it must put the computer back to factory new, even with the Parition of recovery went.

• Can I create recovery DVDs after installing Windows XP Home edition?

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L300. I formatted the c drive and installed windows xp, but soon I realized that I forgot to create a recovery disk.
  Now the F8 does not work, but the drive d and hddrecovery the folder that contains the files of Toshiba recovery still exists. 3.8 GB of data is located in this folder.

  Is it possible to create a recovery disk now. Thanks already.

  Hello

  Recovery DVDs can be created with the special tool only. The name is Toshiba Recovery creator. This tool is part of the Vista installation only factory settings.

  So now, you can not create recovery media and there is no way to launch the installation of F8 HARD drive recovery. I do not understand why you ignored Toshiba reminder on creating recovery DVDs.
  Anyway, you can order the new copy under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  Bye and good luck!

• Could not start the desktop Vista after installing Windows Vista SP2, error: 0XC0190036.

  Original title: vista sp2 problem.

  I have a laptop that I haven't used in a while.  I took on a trip and received the message that the updates are available.  One was SP2.  After the update is complete, it failed to start with a message OXC0190036.

  Startup Repair said that he could not solve the problem.  Restoration of the system has not only restore - labeled SP1 and it allows you to finalize the restoration of files and stays there.  (I waited for 3 hours without change).
  I have a XP install disc that I used before installing Win 7 on my desktop, but it does not give me the opportunity to do an installation.
  Can enter the command prompt, I'm perplexed as to what to do.
  I want to get this laptop that works so I can give to someone who needs a faster machine.
  Thank you.

  Hello

  XP disk will not help you to fix Vista

  As the system restore does not try a startup repair and / or a restoration of the system using a Microsoft Vista DVD

  Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

  Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

  If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/repair-Windows-with-Windows-Startup-Repair/

  Table of contents

  1. Overview of Windows Vista repair options
  2. How to perform an automatic repair of Windows Vista using Startup Repair
  3. Advanced Tools Overview
  4. Conclusion

  If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

  Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

  Here is a link to it:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2011/Windows-Recovery-discs-updated-reinstated/

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And here are a few ways to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• How to re-enable loading the recovery partition after stock mSATA SSD HDD cloning?

  Dear community,

  This weekend I managed to install mSATA 80 GB Intel SSD on my older X 220 of 1 month. With the help of the Intel Data Migration Software my HARD drive 320 GB stock has been cloned on mSATA SSD 80 GB with the downsizing of the system partition main Windows7_OS (66GB instead of 287 GB) and the preservation of the windows loading partition SYSTEM_DRV and ThinkVantage Rescue & Recovery partition Lenovo_Recovery in place. Later, I removed the HARD drive to stay on the SSD system only for testing purposes.

  While Windows loads fine, the BlueButton seems to be a malfunctioning now: instead of loading the partition of ThinkVantage Rescue & recovery it shows me the message of Windows loader telling me that it cannot find the target system more. What's wrong? Is there a way to remedy this?

  NOTE: When I'm pulling HDD inplace and pushing the BlueButton then R & R support very well! It seems that ThinkVantage seeks R & R partition on the disk instead of SSD.

  Thank you!

  OK, answering my own question: Reinstall ThinkVantage Rescue & recovery could help as soon as it re - initializes the boot partition as well.

• Now, formatted recovery partition cannot install Windows 8.

  Original title: installation.

  I mistakely to format all partitions, including the recovery on my hp laptop now im trying to install the new copy, but I can't help it please me do not know what to do

  Its best you contact HP recovery media that you can use to reinstall the pre-installed copy of Windows 8. He also recommended because of the following:

  With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

  If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

• problems with the graphics card after installing windows 7, code 43

  I installed windows 7 & my ATI-RADEON XPRESS 200 SERIES is stopped by windows 43.It code stipulates that drivers are ok... but it is not recognized... I also downloaded a few 3d Screensavers & they worked very well now, it is not able to open the screensaver because of the video card or to be compatible with Direct 3D... This question has not pop up until after you have installed windows 7, I have checked & found a lot of problems with windows 7 & ATI-RADEON XPRESS 200 SERIES drivers or recognition. Tried to update the driver but the States, it is far, but windows 7 is having a problem with drivers... Y at - it a fix for this, looks like it should be a matter of windows & microsoft should have action corrected problem because windows is caused this problem... Have installed all windows updates & all up to date... Can someone try to give me a solution to fix this problem? Not sure if they have an upgrade or accelerator program 3d graphics that may have to be installed... & again thanks if anyone can help... Have a great day...

  ATI-RADEON XPRESS 200 SERIES is an accelerator of limited DirectX 9 graphics (integrated graphics), which was

  published in ' 07 and apparently is not compatible with Win7.

  Old hardware with a Windows version compatibility isn't something that never gets fixed by SM.

  It is the mfg of the material to support the product through a driver updated, and trend of integrated graphic card

  not be supported as long as a dedicated graphics card.

  In this case support drivers apparently stopped with Vista.

  If you try to get drivers via Device Manager or Windows Update they can provide incorrect information

  What about drivers who are up to date.

  These two methods are a little known does not install the proper drivers for the graphics.

  I read that some people have had luck on Win7 with the Vista drivers for various materials. Doesn't hurt to try.

  You can download the drivers for XPRESS 200 SERIES from the AMD website below-

• Unable to see the old partition after reinstalling windows XP

  I got a BSOD error and might not work in safe mode or any mode - so I rebooted my Windows XP - he was asked to create a new partition to NTFS - so I said yes.

  Present on disk 0 - and now I have a clean copy of XP identified as C: - NTFS drive.  I also see a volume that is unmarked and has the FAT 32 file.

  I would like to convert the FAT file NTFS - but need a drive letter assigned to execute the command.  I there a way to recover a drive letter for this partition unamed?

  Run Disk Manager (start > run > diskmgmt.msc), right click on the partition and assign a drive letter.

  A better way, if you do not need the data on the FAT32 partition, is to delete the partition, create a new partition and format it NTFS.

• Each installation of the PATCH fails after installing Windows updates

  Hello

  I would like to report a problem, I think it's a bug of Windows introduced by one of the Windows updates (unfortunately I could not know who of them).

  Here's the test scenario:
  1. install a fresh copy of Windows on a test computer
  2. install all the Windows updates available (so the system is up-to-date)
  3. create a sample MSI installer that installs only some dummy files (let's say Product Version 1.0.0) and host on a web server

  4. install the MSI from the online location using a command line like this:

  msiexec /i http://server/share/package.msi

  5. create a. Patch MSP (e.g. v1.0.1) which only adds a new file to v1.0.0
  6 install the patch v1.0.1

  RESULT: the installation of the patch fails with the following error message: "the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect."

  NOTES:
  1. the question has replicated to Windows 7 and 8 machines updated
  2. the question is not replicated on a new install of Windows without updates applied

  Is anyone aware of what may cause this error? Once again the patch installation fails only on Windows computers with the latest updates installed.

  THX,

  Daniel

• increase in size of the C drive after installing windows 8 pro, why?

  my C drive partition volume is 92 Go, he had a lot of space before moving on to windows 8 from windows 7, after installation, I've seen the size of my c drive has only 5.33 GB free, why has happened?

  Thank you
  I did it but the problem did not solve.my of free disk space is 2.24 GB, it's very weak. I have a question, I saw my C drive, I saw a folder named windows.old, what is? its volume is almost 18 GB. can I remove it?
  Another problem I have are not wanter to add some more space to drive to another partition, I cut 50 GB of drive D and built a new primary partition but I can't merge the C drive, what should I do to add a disk space? (I used the computer management/disk management and also Acronis disk Director)

  Windows.Old stores your old Windows installation. You can use it to recover files or reinstall the previous version of Windows. If all your data has been migrated to Windows 8 safely, you can remove:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/how-remove-Windows-old-folder

  This should give you more space.

  If you want to gain extra space, you need to use a third party tool like Easeus

  Download Easeus at the following link

  EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition - http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Manager-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html

  Proceed with the installation of Easeus:

  Click Next, follow the easy on-screen instructions.

  Once the installation is finished, click on finish

  Click go to the main screen

  Select the drive you want to resize in partition window

  Drag the button until you have an amount of disk space you need, then release desired.

  Click on apply to apply the changes that you just made.

  Click Yes

  Click Yes

  Your computer will restart several times and changes will be made to the layout of the partition, this process is hands-free, so no interaction is required.
