• 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

• 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.

  I install XP & Vista on another partition to have a dual boot. I decided to delete the XP partition after having problems on the virus in the XP partition. I delete the XP partition using the Vista CD, I delete the partition, but when I did the restar problems: a message on the "Bootmgr is missing, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE.

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  Hello

  You can download the Setup from the Microsoft page of WIindows disk:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310994/

  Then you could install the Microsoft recovery console that helps you use the commands * Fixmbr and Fixboot * to fix the Boot Manager:

  I think this should help other rational use the Live like BartPe or WinPE disc to boot up the laptop.

• Problem loading my BootCamp Partition after the partitioning of the disk again

  Hello

  I have a problem that I can't find everywhere are talking about here. Everything worked well. My BootCamp partition ran out of space. I wanted to increase the size of the partition, because I really have a lot of space on the Mac side.

  I ended up searching and following the procedure here:

  https://discussions.Apple.com/message/24377993#24377993

  "1) back up all your files (optional, but highly recommended)."

  (2) using the disk utility OSX resize MacintoshHD partition unallocated space leaving as much as you need to add to the bootcamp partition.

  (3) set the Bootcamp startup disk and restart the mac.

  (4) in Bootcamp with Windows running launch Mini Partition tool and select the bootcamp partition.

  (5) choose the option "expand" to extend the partition using all unallocated space.

  (6) the program prompt restart you the mac to apply the task, the cause is not possible while the partition is mounted and windows running.

  7-restart the mac and then automatically Mini Partition tool will do the job a form of "graphics like msdos. »

  I'm in step 3, and that's when I started to have a problem. I resized my Mac partition to have about 100 less GB. Did step number 3, but I got this black screen that says something along the lines of "bootable device found - no. Insert the diskette and press any key any." You know, the message that is displayed when the software that allows the system to boot is not found.

  I had to restart, and then press and hold the option key. It's weird. My Mac partition looks great, but the BootCamp partition isn't here. I loaded the side Mac upward, and I can still see my Bootcamp partition in the finder window. I can go in, see all the files and everything. I always choose Windows as my boot target drive. It just won't load.

  How can I fix?

  1 Please take the Mini tool. It's a total disaster. Should be prohibited on Macs.

  2 Please after the release of the following OSX Terminal commands. Do not change the disk partitioning any further.

  diskutil list

  Cs diskutil list

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

• After removing the Dual Boot, I can't delete the old partition

  Some time ago I installed an SSD and I have Windows 7 installed in Dual Boot with the Windows 7 system.
  So, I had two versions of Windows 7, which worked well.

  Now I no longer use the old system, I disabled the function of Dual Boot. I want to format the old drive, but it does not work because Windows still sees it as active system partition. In addition, I can't delete the partition.

  How can I format or delete the old partition?

  

  I already tried Msconfig, Bud that did not help. Default Msconfig begins with 'selective startup' and an operating system that is displayed in the Startup tab. When I select 'Normal Startup' there are two operating systems that are listed in the Startup tab. When I delete the old and reboot, it is back again...

  Who has the solution?

  (1) create a system repair disc (if you do not have an installation disk for Windows 7 for the version of Windows you have installed).
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-system-repair-disc

  (2) then remove the hard disk you want to format. Now try to start the remaining version of Windows. You should see a missing bootmgr message. Proceed to step #3.

  (3) Bootmgr is missing, message or black screen with cursor flashing
  (See method #2 in this Wiki article)
  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/wiki/Windows_7-system/Bootmgr-is-missing-message-or-black-screen-with/73fef5b7-5a7f-4910-a2b0-7219e9ec1646

  (4) after you have created the BCD store on the remaining drive (to step #3 above), it should start up on Windows and also be the partition 'Active'.

  (5) shut down the PC and set the old drive, turn on a load Windows and then delete all the remaining partitions on the old disk.

• Delete the old partition of Vista HDDRecovery after migration to W7

  Since I installed Windows 7 and I have created a new recovery disk.

  Thank you for your response.

  Hello

  I know, installing windows with the recovery disk retrieves folder HDDRecovery :) So, you can.

• Lost bootcamp partition after you use diskutil to resize

  Hello

  I was little Yosemite when I resized (shrunk) my partition apple to increase the size of my bootcamp partition using disk utility. I studied the problem and understand the limits of partition are not correct on my bootcamp partition.  Using this thread as my main guide

  https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/6465316?TSTART=0

  I went through the steps and got the boot to a read error trying to start on the bootcamp partition.

  In osx, disk utility displays the bootcamp partition, but it is always grayed out and right-click to mount displays an error when you try to mount.  I understand it, conceptually, what I do, but I don't know enough details to understand what I'm doing wrong.  Here is information and links to screenshots of error messages, etc.   I would greatly appreciate any idea. Former Republic Yugoslav, the machine is a retina MBP 15 "with a 500g SSD

  This link will show you the screenhots of the controls required for the diagnosis.

  http://www.lewallens.com/2016/03/lost-bootdisk-info.html

  In addition, I had bootcamp windows installation USB key that I was going to start, from the discussions around the read error.  I couldn't accomplish that, as when started the USB, the display depending on whether you get after you choose the language and keyboard is not the screen where you can choose the Startup Repair, but the first screen of the windows installation.  Interestingly, with the same USB stick plugged into a mac mini without bootcamp partition, boot/repair screen comes up

  Thanks in advance.

  How to resize my bootcamp partition without deleting chtol

  However, according to Apple, you may use any software other than Boot Camp to resize the partition.

  Boot Camp: resize the Windows partition (told to uninstall Windows and resize all reinstall)

  Boot Camp: install Windows on your Mac (also indicates that you can not resize the partition once Windows is installed)

  In addition, Windows and Mac OS X must be backed up separately. Time Machine does not back up windows partition, so if you ever have a problem and the need to restore your computer, you would lose the Windows files.

• Format HARD drive, delete the recovery partition and recover with disc

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite C660D-17F and want to format my HDD, remove the recovery partition and recover the preinstalled Windows 7 and other software. I don't want to keep my own data, which are all stored already, I just want to be sure I can safely restore preinstalled stuff. I have a few questions that I need help to clear up before I go ahead.

  Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition? If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?

  I found [this post | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/items/faq/71] which explains the recovery process. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that? It will restore the OS and the software for the backup of dvd drive? Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?

  Added SIDENOTE:
  I actually prefer to be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I'm after. Or is there a way?

  Sorry, I know that was a long post, but I want to be sure of what will happen BEFORE I'll and spoil things! :) If you got this far, thanks for reading. :)

  Hello

  I will try to offer help. ;)
  > Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition?
  Yes. Saved on recovery discs recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, specific Toshiba and utility tools and some additional software.
  > If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?
  Preinstalled Toshiba Recovery creator make recovery disc that includes the recovery image only. It has nothing to do with your personal data.
  > I found this post that explains the process of recovery. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that?
  After that, you should use recovery disks created for the recovery image installation.
  > Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?
  When you use the recovery disc for your laptop recovery image installation will have factory settings which include the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. To be honest I do not understand why you do not want to have this recovery image on the HARD drive. This allows the installation of recovery using recovery of HARD drive option. But of course you can delete it later for more free space on your HARD drive. Installation image that you can always use created for recovery discs-recovery DVDs.
  > I'd really rather be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I don't want after
  Fix.

• Satellite L745: I deleted the recovery partition. What can I do now?

  I bought a new laptop l745 and I found two hidden partition, I think that the recovery partition is only one. so I deleted the other
  After that, I tried doing a recovery on DVD but I got a message "no recovery on the HARD drive" or something like that

  How can I restore my recovery partition?
  :)

  You cannot restore the recovery partition. It can be restored if you use the DVD of initial recovery for the installation of the OS. In this case, everything will be like before.

  You created the recovery DVDs until you have deleted the recovery partition?
