Cannot access the system recovery partition

I can't access the dell recovery partition, I tried many things like ctrl and f11, f12 and similar, but it won't let me in any ideas?

Hi Cyber_Punk,

Thanks for the reply.

Please click on the link mentioned below to make sure that you try to run PC Restore correctly:

http://Dell.to/Wj1rZe

NOTE: The PC Restore will remove the applications and data in the system.

If the PC Restore does not work, you can perform the re-installation of windows by using the system shipped with the system disk operating system.

Thank you & best regards

  • Cannot access the System Recovery Console invalid password

    System Recovery Console insists that I use a "invalid password". I installed Win7. I make a written record of all used passwords so I'm sure I know the password I put in the first place; It is a simple word, that I always use for low security situations.  However, I tried all variants of logics of this password (upper and lower case, etc.), but nothing works.  I loaded 'ophcrack LiveCD' and found that the password is .  I tried to use no password and this also fails.

    What can I do to pass in addition to "invalid password" so I can't enter the System Recovery Console?

    Thank you.

    Hey Ron,.

    I finally got some time to focus on this and learned something that could explain the difficulties you encounter!

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-happened-to-the-recovery-console

    It seems that the Recovery Console has been taken from Windows Vista (and 7). Personally I did not know this, but then again I don't use it every day! :) So in short, it is not designed to work with Windows 7, and this issue is the result of this.

    Sorry it took me so long to find! I hope that answers your question!

  • Windows automatically restarts constantly, cannot access the system restore point, cannot access the computer in safe mode

    Hi all

    For the not 24 hours I tried to access my computer in normal mode. When I turn on the pc, it says "configuration data 1 of 3 steps...". 0% complete"he never spent 0% and within seconds, it automatically restarts and starts again. It's so frustrating! I have a windows vista pc (purchased in ' 06). I can only access my desktop in SafeMode.

    I tried to perform a system restore, but not like he says "recovery disk is not the restore point selected. What should I do? I tried to manually create a restore point, but cannot access the system and Maintenance, while in safe mode. I can't do anything but literally access the internet. How can I get Windows back to factory settings it is with these limited resources? I have a Dell reinstallation DVD.

    I searched my programs and found that recently Windows automatically updated and downloaded "Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer" and "for 2007 Office system Compatibility Pack '. Now, I think it has something to do with it, because they were the most recent updates, before the pc crashed. But I also fear that it may be a virus, which has completely hijacked this PC. How am I supposed to get rid of a bug, if I can't even get the necessary antivirus?

    Sorry for the ranting, but it's so stressful when my pc is completely down. Please, please please help me. Thank you in advance for reading this same!

    Hey I had deleted my recovery partition because windows limit 4 partitions and I used all the others... I can still do a factory reset now if something is wrong? Or can I create a disk recovery or something?

  • Cannot access the system restore

    When you try to use the system restore, it asks which file to open it with, which is something that he has not asked before. After that, he does not use the system restore. In addition, Firefox is the same way and I have to use Internet Explorer. Finally, the control panel behaves as if it does not exist.  I don't know if they are related, but they started after my 'sealed' antivirus 'virus' that appeared while Adobe Reader has been updated... I'm completely lost as to what I should do.

    First of all, if your anti-virus removed viruses/malware you don't want to use system restore. This is likely to give the malicious software on your computer.

    It sounds as if your file associations have been damaged. What makes no sense at all, it is that you are able to open Internet Explorer. Click on the link below. Download the file, save it to your desktop. Right-click on the file and choose merge. Confirm your choice to merge.

    Satellite C650

    Windows partition has been destroyed, I have a copy of the recovery of HARD drive to an external drive, but using a disc of windows7 to start on windows does not recognize the recovery of hard drive as being any information system so will not restore the original windows and Toshiba Utilities.

    Press F8 and keeps O press the button of not raising the the menu with the option to restore.

    No clue as to how I can extract / use HARD drive recovery I

    Thank you

    Problem is this recovery saved disk image external DRIVE cannot be used. In s manuals document is clearly described that the owner of the laptop must create recovery media. This recovery media can be a DVD disc or USB key, depending on the model of laptop.

    What you can do now is to restore disc original order or to install the clean version of the OS with installation of Microsoft disk but it is also not the best solution.

    What do you think of all this? If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Cannot access the system files with permissions to access EFS and certificate are set correctly.

    I am running EFS on a secondary internal hard drive on my computer Vista Enterprise SP1.  I have been using EFS for a few months with no problems.  Recently, when you try to access a number of files, I started getting access denied errors.  I'm still under the same certificate with same file permissions that I was when I originally encrypted the files.  Curiously, I can move, delete and rename files without problem, but I can not access, copy, or decrypt.  I tried reseting the file permissions, nothing done.  An excerpt from the command line:

    Latitude E6510 - how I manually access the Dell system recovery partition?

    Hi all

    My Dell Latitude E6510 came with OEM Win 7 Pro x 64 installed. I am trying to perform a restore of the system to the factory setting.

    I tried to access advanced without result Boot Options and pressing F12 during the boot process does not provide me with the option to repair and select the recovery partition, as if it is invisible. If I use the computer management > storage I do not see the hidden partition or if I do Diskpart it is listed.

    How the BIOS or the system recognize it to boot from the recovery partition? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply but it appears not the solution you provided helped and I think you are incorrect since my original screenshot has allowed me to see the hidden partition, but I didn't know how to access it.

    I got access once I used the app "diskpart" with commands like 'list readers', 'list volume' and 'assign volumes"to access the partition of the content.

    Nevertheless, I have found that my recovery media is missing or damaged.
