C: shrunken recovery process

I have a HP p6837c with a 1.5 TB hard drive.  I had some minor display problems, so I decided to get back to the factory settings.  I ordered new disks for recovery directly from HP.  I made 12/08/12 recovery and all seemed normal.  Today, I came to the notice of the drive C: is only 97.9 GB and the D: drive is only 9,76 GB.  Previously, hard disk 1.5 TB of wholle was 90/10 C: and D: do not know how it happened or how to recover unused space.

dbnaples,

This tutorial should help. You can click on the photos to enlarge them. See Solution 3 here

You remove D and use the full disk.

BTW > I'm curious. What happens if you have C as I said, but left a 12 GB partition, name of D. Then re-did all of the re - install. Would it work, or recreate the problem you had. Very curious about that!

  • Recovery process for Win 7 on Satellite Pro T110 is very fragile - WARNING

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro T110 with Windows 7 Professional and was very surprised of the fragility of the system recovery process was:

    (1) there is no DVD media with recovery of Windows 7.
    (2) during the installation process, you MUST follow all the standard options (no additional partitions) If you want to be able to use the hard disk recovery partition every time.
    (3) third-party imaging solution to take a snapshot of the disk, using a partition is a pointless exercise - you will probably not be able to recover to a State where it can be used.

    Personally, I think that must be a big red piece of paper (or better yet, a set of recovery disks) in the box that says something like the following:

    If you want to be able to recover the factory default condition, you MUST follow this process:
    (1) installation using the standard options - DO NOT CREATE any WHAT of PARTITIONS ADDITIONAL
    (2) be prepared to wait hours for the system configuration process completed successfully
    (3) DO NOT connect to a network during this process connection
    (4) do not touch the keyboard or press the button unless recommended specifically to do
    (5) be prepared to go through many cycles of restarting the computer
    (6) once completed, the FIRST thing you should do is get a USB DVD drive and use the utility program to create a set of recovery disks.
    (7) create a system repair disc - it may be a CD

    In my installation, I created a partition of D (to allow for the backup image), then managed to lock the touchpad and then ended up with a totally dead machine after having tried a system recovery which came with error F3-F100-0004. Thanks to the help of Marcus to Toshiba, Brisbane I was able to get a set of recovery disks and get it operational.

    I hope this is helpful to someone else and that Toshiba can improve the reliability and stability of the recovery process.

    Hello

    If you would turn on the unit for the first time, then you will see that Windows 7 was already preinstalled and just s complete the installation process
    It will take time, however, after the win 7 installation you will find a pre-installed manual, most people don t read this and it is a big mistake
    Operating instructions, you can find all the details you mention here in the display

    > 1) there is no DVD media with recovery of Windows 7.
    There is an available HARD drive recovery option that allows you to retrieve the device without the recovery disk, but you can also create a clean recovery disc using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called preinstalled tool!

    (> 2) During the installation process, you MUST follow all the standard options (no additional partitions) If you want to be able to use the hard disk recovery partition every time.
    As far as I know Win 7 preinstalled Toshiba is an image and does not change the partitions you can change this only if you are using the Microsoft Win 7 disc and it should be clear

    However, the recovery disk must be created ALWAYS that because there is always a risk that something would go wrong with a HARD drive or partition

    With reocvery disc, you are always on the right side

  • Ask about the product recovery process

    Hello Mr./Mrs

    I'm about to start the recovery process of the product on my laptop, so I've read is that it formats all data on the hard drive. Is what it means if I have 2 hard drives (C & E drive) all on each of them will be erased or simply C drive only?

    If both drives will be erased so where can I restore my data disc E to continue the process?
    Thank you for your support.

    Hello Tony

    It will be interesting to know what model of laptop do you have and how you want to perform the installation of recovery.

    If you use F8 and drive HARD recovery (on the new laptop models) installing the C partition will be deleted only.
    If you use the whole HARD drive recovery DVD will be erased and formatted.

    Hey mate,

    > ERROR: file recovery database copy failed!
    Sounds like a defective or maybe striped recovery disk

    In my opinion, you should try another disc. ex: Microsoft Windows disk. If your disc of recovery which is defective, the Microsoft should work fine. After that, you can download and install all the drivers and tools of the Toshiba page.

    In the worst case, it of a hardware malfunction, HARD drive or something else, but you should test another disk first. ;)

  • What is the recommended for El Capitan recovery process?

    What is the recommended for El Capitan recovery process?

    I just upgraded directly from Mountain Lion, and I see that my recovery disc has disappeared.  My recovery disk wizard is only good for Lion and Mountain Lion.  I searched Apple.com and found a complicated process by which I could use the Console and create a bootdisk with the option reinstall, but I can't believe that this is the recommended option for a common user?

    So is time machine bygones?  I noticed that it is dimmed in the Menu bar?

    Certainly, you can restore El Capitan as you would with any other version of OS X - using the HD Recovery. I have no idea why your Recovery HD disappeared. Usually this would cause by user error. However, you can create a standalone install OS X on a USB FlashDrive for emergency use. This has been an option because at least Mavericks:

    Do your own installation of El Capitan using the El Capitan tool flash drive:

    You can create an installer of flash of El Capitan via the Terminal drive. El Capitan has its own manufacturer Installer integrated that you use via the Terminal:

    You'll need a freshly partitioned and formatted at least 8GBs. USB flash drive leave the name of the flash drive on the system by default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Wait as the full process that will take some time.

    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following line in its entirety in the Terminal window.

    sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/Untitled--applicationpath X\ "/ Applications/install OS X El Capitan.app.

    Press RETURN, enter the admin password (will not resonate to the window) then press RETURN again.

    You must have setup in your Applications folder or change the paths in the command line above.

    You can do the same thing for Yosemite by making the appropriate substitute for the installer in the above command line:

    Make your own Yosemite flash Installer drive using the tool of Yosemite:

    You can create an installer of the Yosemite via the Terminal flash drive. Yosemite has its own manufacturer Installer integrated that you use via the Terminal:

    You'll need a freshly partitioned and formatted at least 8GBs. USB flash drive leave the name of the flash drive on the system by default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Wait as the full process that will take some time.

    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following line in its entirety in the Terminal window.

    sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/Untitled--applicationpath/Applications/Install\ OS\ Yosemite.app X\ X\

    Press RETURN, enter the admin password (will not resonate to the window) then press RETURN again.

    You must have setup in your Applications folder or change the paths in the command line above.

    In addition, to Yosemite and earlier you can try using DiskMaker X.

  • Recovery process of the BIOS for HP with AMI BIOS systems?

    Hello

    I'm trying to fix a HP model a6718uk PC that has a motherboard M2N78 - LA and i think and AMI BIOS.  An update of the BIOS that came through HP Update failed, and the machine does not start.

    As it is out of warranty, the HP repair center want to £200.00 to solve this problem, although a simple BIOS recovery process should be enough - does anyone know the process for these systems BIOS recovery?   Everything I've read (not specific to these commissions) says that you should be able to update the BIOS (called AMIBOOT. ROM) on a diskette, CD or USB memory stick and start by pressing Ctrl-Home and it will perform the recovery, but I was not able to get this to work successfully.  HP provide a stand-alone update, so I extracted the file to update the SP.exe BIOS on the HP support site.

    Any help would be most appreciated!

    See you soon,.

    Andrew

    Hi André,.

    I wonder if HP change bootlock bios and it does not seek to the AMIBOOT.ROM.  It may be interesting to try AMIBOOT. BIN just in case.

    The link below is a link to a free hex editor, open the bios with this file and you should be able to see the extension will look for the bios.

  • HP Envy: System recovery process

    I've recently encountered problems with my machine HP Envy starts is not on Windows 10.  After many attempts to make it work, I finally gave up and decided to restore the device to factory settings by using the system recovery USB stick I created.  The machine was bought with windows 8, and I have upgraded to windows 10 before creating the system recovery disk.  Not sure if it is a factor or not.

    The recovery process has failed three times.  He could get to the final step to restart the machine after copying the files on the hard drive and just hang out.  Finally on the fourth attempt that it seemed to work, since I have done to the Windows login screen (it looks like a Windows 8 connection for me).

    My problem is that the Windows login screen goes straight to the 'user', and asked a username / password.  I expect since I restore to factory settings it would allow me to create a new user, but this option is not available.  The only sign in options must use a local account (and of course there is no account since it is now a new machine), or to log in using my Microsoft account.  Neither work.  Very frustrating.

    Someone has experienced this problem when you perform a restore to the factory settings?

    Is there anyway to connect as long as administrator on a new machine so I can create a user?

    It is a known problem that doesn't happen very often.

    I have recommended to perform the recovery of images an other factory.

  • Recovery process fails

    I have a Presario notebook dv6-6145 x.  When I tried to create a set of recovery discs, I got a message that 4 DVD would be necessary.  After having inserted the first DVD and the creative process ran for a few minutes I got a message that the process has failed.  I tried to do a restore to factory state using the original image stored on the hard drive and do not have.  After that, the PC would not boot into windows.  I ordered a set of HP recovery disks.  During the recovery process after the second disc has been inserted, the recovery program has stopped working and I got a message to call HP support.  I tried the recovery 2 more times with the same result.  The PC is no longer under warranty, so it wasn't an option.  This laptop gave me no trouble since I bought it in 2011.  It is now completely unusable and ready for the trash.

    Hello:

    If you can still read all 25 characters of the product key of W7 on the bottom of your laptop, the only suggestion I have for you to try because you got nowhere with the retrieval of the disks is to do a simple install of W7 DVD or USB flash drive.

    Here is how to do this.

    Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a DVD or a 4 GB flash drive using the USB compilation method.

    Use the product key of windows 7 of 25 characters to activate your installation.

    http://download.CNET.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-download-tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below. Download the Windows 7 version that is on your product (Home Premium, professional or ultimate) key to apply.
