• Satellite L350: Can not access the recovery partition by pressing 0

  Heya

  I can not access the recovery on a Toshiba L350 Manager. I tried pressing 0 (zero, two of them) at first to access HD-recovery, but nothing happens. Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

  The reason why I want to access is:
  I have a l350 Toshiba with a partially installed windows here. For now, he gets the "starting Windows" and "instalation program's services began" (in Norwegian) which stops with a popupbox saying: "the computer unexpectedly inexplicable, or an unexpected error has occurred. The site amenities cannot procceed. To install Windows, you will need to click ok to restart the computer. Start the installation process. ».

  What started the problem was that during the last part of the installation (after Win7 becomes usable, but above all has been installed), escape was pressed, and the computer has been used normally.

  > I can not access the recovery on a Toshiba L350 Manager. I tried pressing 0 (zero, two of them) at first to access HD-recovery, but nothing happens. Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

  I assume you are using a European model for laptop and so you should try it;
  -Press on F8 laptop computer power on.
  -Then choose fix my computer
  -Then Toshiba HDD Recovery.

  This should allow you to start the Toshiba HDD recovery process.

• How can I change my drive letter on my backup drive?

  From: ScottHarlow

  About 2 weeks ago, I did a full system back up and now I want to restore SOME files from the backup. Whenever I go to the backup and Restore Center and try to do a restore of the files, I get a warning that there are no backups available on this computer. But, from the main screen, I see that the last backup was performed on 07/07/2008 and has been saved on disk 'G '. It is an external hard drive and now when I connect Windows Vista (Ultimate) assigns to the player "H". Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  From: Richard G. Harper

  You have the Nations United-do what you did to back up the road of 'G' to 'H' - if the Windows backup utility him is not where the backup where think he saves, the backup will be considered as damaged and unusable.

• How can I change the drive letter assigned to the partition of 'winretools' on a laptop Win 8?

  I'm just going through the process to customize a new Inspiron 14z with Windows 8. The only thing that left me speechless are all provided partitions installed on drive, thanks to a combination of everything be different on Win8, Dell make their own way and GPT formatting.  Generally, I would like to know what the devil all these partitions are for, but it is fine if it will be a slow learning process.  More precisely and immediately, I need to change the drive letter assigned to the partition of 'WINRETOOLS '.  Currently it is D:, and the problem is that 10 years from now, I'm using as my data partition D: and a number of applications, configurations, settings, etc. assume that all my files are on D:.  For example, by having all my music on D:, I can sync iTunes library and preference between machines and all results files and playlists is from a machine to another.  Same thing for my photos.  Same for a bunch of utilities like FTP consoles, sync utilities...

  In an earlier version of Windows, I would just go into management drives, right click on the partition in question, assign a different drive letter and work done.  On my machine, the WINRETOOL 2 GB partition shows not even as having a drive letter in disk management, despite the fact that it is D: in Win Explorer.  In addition, only the right click option is 'help '.  I took this option, and, despite its aspirations, it is not useful.

  How can I change this drive letter to something else?  WINRETOOLS should even have a drive letter in Explorer (some messages that I've seen indicates that it must be hidden)?  If I change the drive letter, which will break its function, whatever it is?

  ....

  My machine has a 500 GB of rotating disk that has all of the above partitions.  I shrunk the 80 GB C: partition, to create a data partition.  I've not yet formatted the unallocated space I want to solve this WINRETOOLS thing first.  Finally, there is a 32 GB of SSD that I put in place as a cache of the Intel Smart Response, and it is no longer visible to the operating system.

  At the command prompt, type the following and press "enter":

  mountvol D:\/d

  Close the command prompt.

  Drive D: letter should now be available and not used.

  Here's some info about Mountvol, it's very powerful to be safe to use it:

  

• Can not access the recovery on M30 partition

  Hi all

  I use a Toshiba M30. Last week, I uninstalled the old version of Norton Antivus to install the new version of Norton Internet Security. After you have uninstalled the NA, I found that my phone does not work normally. I, therefore, formated C pilot. Then, I could not access the recovery partition to reinstall the OS.

  How can I solve this problem?

  Thank you very much.

  CUONG

  Could you please be a little more clear on the problem.

  You try to use the recovery CD? Why did you format drive C? When you say that you can not access the recovery partition, how are you trying to access? through BACK.

  Sorry, but your question isn't very clear and a bit confusing. Thank you very much

• My e-machine computer broke down and I'm unable to access the recovery partition. How can I reinstall my operating system?

  I have an emachines el1200-07w that crashed. It has windows Vista Home Basic. I can not access the recovery partition and emachines has no recovery for this model CD. can someone help me?
  original title: windows vista problem

  Hello

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  As happened with eMachines, you may have to try this instead:

  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

  See you soon.

• DataSafe may not find the recovery Partition

  Hi, I have an Inspiron 1545 with Windows7 and I am creating a USB recovery in case the system has a problem. When you run the DataSafe Local Backup app, the main screen says that it can not locate the recovery partition. When you click Backup, and then create recovery system, options 'USB Flash Drive' media and "drives" are grayed out.

  If I look in disk management, the RECOVERY partition exists and is "healthy".

  What can I do to build recovery media?

  gossamer1

  Thanks a lot for your help. I'm still angry that, through the no fault of mine, the recovery partition is unusable. It seems that something in the previous attempt to create the recovery media corrupted the recovery partition.

  Its an inherent weakness of the recovery Partition. Any slight involuntary changes in the size of the file or the content may be corrupted. I was strongly against the recovery Partition and the end user, creating their own installation media of the political Recovery Partition OEM media of reduction that Microsoft pushed. However Windows 10 .isos being downloadable and constantly updated future distributions Windows should be acceptable.

  gossamer1

  The installation of Windows 10 will ask my Service tag number? I don't see a license sticker Windows7 on the bottom of the laptop as I've seen in the past.

  Yes as it will search the Windows 7 COA under the battery of your system. Windows 10 should run fine on this model. I ran it on an older model without problems.

• updated victory 8 to 8.1, how ensure the recovery partition is the same

  I have a laptop of 15-E0116AU provided with windows 8 is installed. I've now updated to 8.1, and I was wondering if anyone can confirm that the recovery partition now some how has also upgraded to 8.1.

  the upgrade took 5 hours and I don't want to go through that again,

  I called HP support and was told that Yes, the recovery partition will recover to 8.1, BUT on microsoft.com site the page says it's not too and any OEM recovery partition will restore the original operating system [which is 8 on my system].

  If HP... which is the correct answer please.

  I already have a set of recovery discs, if HP doesn't let me do another one with 8.1 upgrade.

  John

  The HP Recovery partition will recover your computer to a factory State, including BONES and the original software.

  Please use the windows 'backup system image"utility to create an accurate picture of the Windows partition 8.1 as it is currently, on a hard drive external, USB drive or network drive. You will also need to create a disc to 'fix' Windows. If your computer develops questions or you need to replace the hard drive, all you have to do is to "restore" the image on the computer. Please see Windows 8.1 Tip: use System Image backup for instructions on creating and restoring a 'Windows - System Image backup.'

  This process is not a system recovery and is different than using the window restore or refresh or HP System Recovery.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Re: Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X - how to access the recovery partition?

  Hello

  I've formatted Windows 7 with a Windows XP CD but did not setup. I wanted to know how to access the recovery partition to set it by default, everything exists on the laptop right now is Ubuntu, but I don't know, I saw an additional partition that must contain recovery files as laptop did not come with a recovery disk and unfortunately did not create a filter.

  How can I access the recovery partition on the laptop having in mind, I formatted the drive Windows 7 was installed on or should I activate or something like that?

  Any help much appreciated

  Hey,.

  On the second partition of your laptop (data partition), you will find a folder named HDDrecovery and it contains recovery files. The problem is that you can use the HARD drive only with the pre-installed operating system recovery feature. It would mean in your case it s too late now and it s not in use anymore.

  You have created the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the user manual? If Yes, you can use this disk to restore to factory settings. Just boot from this CD and follow the instructions on the screen.

  If you don t have the recovery disc, you can order it here:

• HP Envy Pheonix - move or delete the recovery partition

  I just bought a HP Envy Pheonix 800 and there a 120 GB ssd for the OS.  Ago a second partition that is for recovery that is as I wish to move or to get rid of so that I can have the other space available for files such as 120 GB can fill up pretty fast.

  If I create a defined backup drive I'll be able to get rid of this partition and it is part of c:?

  Or can the partition be moved safely to the other HD without any problem?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello

  As long as you create your recovery media set - see link below-, so it should be no problem deleting the partition (moving it usually breaks its functionality).  If you need to use the recovery media to perform a 'factory Reset', this process will reinstall the OS and recreate all of the original scores, including recovery D.

  Create recovery media - Windows 8.

  About the removal of the recovery partition, you can often do this through the application Recovery Manager as shown in the HP document on the link below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00810279

  If this option is not available, you can simply delete the recovery Partition using Windows Disk Manager and extend c in the unallocated space.

  Kind regards

• XPS 12 / Win 8: how to boot from the recovery partition / reinstall Windows?

  Messed up things on a newly purchased 12 XPS in Windows 8, and I want to boot from the recovery partition and reinstall windows.

  Support online pages point by pressing F8 during startup, but this does not at all.

  How can I access the recovery partition?

  To access to the menu of, , press F2.

  To enter the boot options menu, press F12.

  Because the XPS 12 boots so fast, it is better to repeatedly press F2 or F12 after restarting the machine. During the startup process, texts for options should appear at the bottom right of the screen. If you enter Windows, you will need to restart again and press F2 or F12 until it works. However, I don't think there is an option in the BIOS to restore the computer to its factory condition. The previous post by DELL-VIKRAM M describes how to properly restore the machine to its factory state.
