Can I delete my recovery disc and create a new? (HP Envy ko25dx m6)

Hi, I have a HP envy ko25dx m6 that I had a few problems of Windows 8 upgrade to 8.1. I was stuck at a black screen at startup upward. I had to contact the HP support by phone and they ended up sending me a flash drive with the recovery factory data. When I went through the process of getting my computer working again, one of the steps set to the recovery on the D: drive partition to store the data of the flash player in order to proceed. I ended the process and return my computer to Windows 8. After finishing, I now have a problem. By clicking on file Explorer, D: drive shows that almost complete, but when I click on it to view the files, he said "this folder is empty". When I go into computer management-storage-disk management, I have 2 recovery drive D: of. a watch NTFS file system, while the other has a white and they are both free 11% (89% full). There are also 3 other volumes without a name; 2 have a status of "healthy (recovery partition)" and 1 has a status of "healthy (EFI system recovery). These volumes without a name are a total of 1 100 MB (1.1 GB) and they are all 100% free. The only thing that shows when I right click all these volumes, D is help and when I click that, without a name, it is in fact, not useful. When I right-click the C: drive, it shows: open, to explore, to mark the partition as active, etcetera... Is it possible for me to access and return the volumes not named in C:? And is there a way for me to delete the data on the D: drive and recreate the data of recovery from this point?  A week ago I tried the upgrade from 8 to 8.1. During the process, it was recommended I have create a collection set but was unable to do so because of the saturated D: drive and the fact that I didn't have a pretty great to external storage. I decided to update the drivers and go forward without creating recovery series or by creating a large enough volume of space I have on C:. When the computer was made with installation and update of its utmost, it got stuck on a black screen again, this time with the cursor and the ability to access with Ctrl + Alt + Delete Task Manager. I had to use it to manually download drivers Windows 8.1 because it was not possible to do it from 8. 8.1 now works. I keep getting warnings about D: being so full and I understand having a nearly full disk affects the performance of the computer. If more information is needed, please let me know. Thanks for reading, if you haven't done this until now!

All "readers" you see are part of the factory installation of Windows 8 and HP. The recovery partition is designed to return the computer to a factory State and nothing more. You cannot delete the d: partition "HP Recovery" and re-create an updated recovery image. The following illustration shows the partitions installed at the factory on my 13 HP x 2 Split;

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

  • Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

    Hello

    I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.

    I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

    Thanks for any help.

    The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

    Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

    Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

    It makes you, thank you.

  • How to recover my computer to factory settings? How to buy recovery discs and which ones?

    I recently bought a used computer on craigslist.  It's a HP Pavilion a6700f.  He came originally with Vista, but the previous owner installed Windows 7 32 on it.  I want to put it back to factory settings, but I can't seem to do it without the recovery disks, which I did not.  I have tried F11 at startup, but the system recovery won't be open in this way for a reason any.  I tried to buy HP recovery disks, but they only for Windows Vista 64-bit.  I'm not sure if my computer came with Vista 64 bit or -34, although she has 34 bit Windows 7 right now.  How can I recover the computer to factory settings?  Can I buy the Vista 64-bit recovery discs and use them?  Will they work?  Thank you.

    Hello

    The command system will work for you given that provide you the product id of your machine. Please use the following link, it should tell you that the original operating system:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07143

    Good luck.

    ps. Based on the following link, its original operating system was:

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium with Windows Media Center with Vista Service Pack 1 (64-bit)

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&TaskID=120&prodSeriesId=3823602&prodTypeId=12454&ObjectID=c01612528

    Therefore, it should work with 64 bit.

  • Recovery discs and product keys?

    My laptop came with no recovery disc and began to play up if I want to erase everything and leave. The disks of backup that have been made are only records do not and do not let me recover the system. Can I use a disc of recovery from another PC, but enter the product key for the laptop? My two machines running Vista Home premium. The disc of recovery for a Dell desk top and my laptop is a Sony. Is it still possible to interchange the recovery discs? I have to download different drivers for the laptop before you erase the hard drive? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. Gary.

    Hello

    Sorry, but you cannot use a recovery disk on a Sony Dell.

    This applies to all of the different brands.

    And if you have problems with the backup disks you made, read this information toreinstall Vista:

    There are several methods 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.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    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.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need 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

    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.

    I can't delete a folder that was created when I downloaded DIVX. Message I get is "Destination access folder denied" any suggestions?

    Try to use Unlocker to:http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml this programs often works when the normal functions of remove Vista not work correctly.

    If this does not work, you need to change the permissions and ownership on the file in order to have all the rights and the property (even on the inherited rights).  Then try Unlocker.  Here's the information to help you do.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.
