Cannot restore Y500 - missing partition Recovery.

I had two of the same OS Windows 8.1 on my Y500 (cloned from the original SSD). Then, last night I tried to 'refresh without affecting your files' option for my OS on the HARD drive so I have a new OS to go back to incase anything happened. then on the screen of Lenovo, it said that the E: drive is being updated as well so I panicked and turned off the computer. Now, I can't access either of the OS. What should I do? I made a return to the top just before and aft of the files are still there in a partition on the HARD drive, I did. I used a boot Puppy LInux USB to see the files on my HARD drive but it wouldn't let me transfer it to an external hard drive. I'll try to install a linux better and try to transfer the OKR files to another drive.

-How would I go about restoring the backup of files if I were to bring on another drive?

Hello

Look at this post where I explained how to install windows on the Y500 without the restore partition. Remember that your license key is integrated in the system, you don't need a key:

  • Portege R500: Cannot restore Vista using Toshiba recovery disks

    I downgraded Vista to XP loaded factory.

    I have disc 1 & 2 ' product Recovery DVD-Rom; Portege R500 disks.
    They are also marked "Windows Vista Business (SSD/PATA)" has been provided by Toshiba.

    I don't know how to use these discs to restore my operating system to Windows Vista. When I insert disc 1 and after loading some files, a message "cannot read the file source or disk - Preinst2.SWM" and I can not go any further.

    An instruction step by step would be greatly appreciated

    I wonder why you receive two recovery disks. As far as I know Toshiba Vista Recovery image is stored on a DVD.
    Perhaps you have received two CD

    In any case, have you tried to boot from the second disk? I mean the second recovery CD?

    Usually, recovery is not very sensitive. You must boot from the disc and should follow the instructions on the screen.

    The error cannot read from the source file or disk - Preinst2.SWM looks like a little to the Conference on disarmament would not readable or the CD/DVD drive would not read the disc properly.

  • TRYING TO DO THE SYSTEM RESTORE, BUT 'NO PARTITION FOUND

    I have a HP Pavilion laptop g6, which works on windows 8.  I tried to do a windows system restore because my computer is having a lot of problems lately and it is less than 1 year.  The fan runs constantly very loudly, computer is hot, there is a process running in the background and flash plugin is constantly crashing on mozilla/I.E. Problems got even worse when I upgraded from Windows 8.1 windows8.

    When I went to do the system restore windows through the hp support assistant, it gets stuck and when I tried to do it by putting power by pressing continuously on f11 to get the boot menu, it says that it cannot restore because no partition... Also, I can't do a complete HP reset because when I turn on my computer now since the upgrade to windows 8.1, it seems to ignore the point when I'm supposed to hit esc to the start menu and instantly goes to the start screen.

    I looked into this mess partition missing and tried to 'test drive' as suggested in this message, which seems to argue that a partition is missing and gives me know no way to add a.

    Help, please! all boards (and please keep in mind while I consider myself rather computer savvy, I'm no geek team so he dumb down a little) would be VERY USEFUL! My computer is too new for this shit.

    The document here may help to do a factory reset:

    How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery because I want to recover my toshiba satellite L840 that does not respond directly to my hard drive so I put my laptop to an external HARD drive and then I want to copy a DVD recovery partition

    Your question is a bit confusing, you can boot the laptop at all? Have you tried booting in safe mode, you can make a recovery DVD set from there, the folder Toshiba.

    With the drive in the Toshiba, you should be able to use a F, F10, F11, or F12 key to activate the installation from the partition hidden started upward.

    Otherwise, you can contact Toshiba, and with the model of the product id number and the laptop for Windows, you can buy a set of disks.

  • dynamic disk recovery issue and I cannot make a primary partition

    I have to cover, please read in full before answering a few questions. This problem started when I made another (retractable) partition on my main drive to run another operating system in a duel start setting. I made this partition, then I think that all my partitions (including recovery) computer went to dynamic. I deleted a partition, so I'm not going on the max 4 so I could do a primary, but she's still dynamic (that I made). First of all, I want to be able to make a primary partition to boot another operating system, and how can I do this without deleting my recovery? I don't want to use 3 third party software, unless they are free. Since my recovery is now a dynamic partition, can 2nd question, I still make a recovery? 3rd question, if I have to delete everything to my basic primary partitions, then can HP gives me a way to backup the recovery, or a least a way to send a recovery disk. Also, when I made the partition, I deleted the HP tools which was 200 MB partition (I think, but I don't remember), how can I reinstall it? Or it is necessary. Overall, I need to make sure that my system windows 7 will be stable with recovery and use with dynamic partitions. In addition, I have not used this program, but I was looking at a problem with a program called HxD Hex, http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=191006, I did not try this because it says this sector 0 1 2 location of the partition I tried to do a primary (Hex) actually says 4f instead of 42. ANY HELP WILL BE AMAZING! At least tell me my system can be stable with a dynamic partition, and I can repeat once if something goes wrong.

    Yes HP recovery disks will change back, but the question is that HP Recovery Manager will not be able to burn recovery discs, or perform a system partition recovery until the hard disk is converted back to base. At least this is what I've seen other posters.

    Seems (to me anyway) the only option is to use the software I mentioned above and convert back to basic & burn recovery discs or order from HP recovery discs.

    Thank you

    I don't know why your PC is saying your partition disappeared - you're right, it seems to be missing. I know that if you use the wizard to help to make your recovery disks backup copies and then ask him to remove the recovery partition to give you more space on the hard drive, it will remove the factory image HP of Windows 8 for the recovery partition and let the normal Windows repair tools.

    There are tools, but which allow you to create your own recovery partition full with these tools of Windows repair and a new image of your instalation so that you can restore from that. You can use this tool: Windows 7/8 - creator of Partition Recovery OEM available here: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/21978-Windows-7-8-OEM-Recovery-Partition-Creator but it's a lot of work and it would be faster and more easy just for your data backup and restoration of your HP recovery disks made you from the support Assistant. If you did not the disks, HP can opt to send you a copy... they do not normally this but I read that some people have luck to get a free copy of HP media... otherwise, they want you to buy recovery disks ($40.00). I guess it depends on the exact terms of your situation.

    An alternative is to use Macrium Reflect Free Edition to ghost or clone your system. You can then restore your entire system even with your custom programs installed, to the exact state it was when you made the backup image. (this may take several dvd) I suggest that you go down that road because your system with Macrium Reflect restore is much faster than restoring from the HP recovery discs. Even if you do not get another copy recovery disks, you must use this tool to make another backup that you can customize to your liking. Your re - installs will be faster, they will already have your chosen installed software, and you will save wear on your HP recovery disks.  You can then delete the recovery partition to regain this space on your hard drive (since you cannot access in all cases, you will not need this space being taken up).  BUT... you cannot restore Mode UEFI which is what HP comes with. You have to go into your Bios settings and switch in the Legacy Bios mode (which disables the secure boot) FIRST or else the Macruim recovery boot disk will not load to install the recovery image. After the system re - installs you can go back into the bios settings and disable bios Legacy and reactivate if secure boot you want. (Windows 8 charge mode UEFI bios active secure boot or Legacy mode... it's your choice.) UEFI mode will load faster, but it will cause problems if you want double boot the system with another OS) hope this helps.

  • HP G70 120EM: don't start mngr missing, no recovery disk

  • Bootcamp deleted missing partition, but can not recover the partition space

    Tried to install 10 Windows via Bootcamp on my Mac. First, I formatted the bootcamp partition. Then I got the following message: could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup logs files.

    I tried five times with Bootcamp installed Windows 10. Then I advice to delete the partition and create a new. So I did. Still did not work. When I rebooted my mac, 50 GB missing as you can see here:

    I tried to restore the partition, but there is no possibility to do so, as you can see here:

    I read so many posts that I don't know what to do anymore. I don't mind factory reset my macbook, but it will restore my lost partition as I probably only erase the 450 GB instead of the 500 GB SSD?

  • Cannot restore from a backup

    I cannot restore from a backup and don't know why.

    I have a Crucial SSD of BX100 in my mid 2010 MacBook Pro. It is divided into two partitions. I got Snow Leopard on a partition and Yosemite on the other. For some reason any I've never understood the Snow Leopard guarded beachballing partition. This happened if often that I decided to wipe the disk and reinstall from my backup, do it before the beachballing began to occur.

    But I can't restore. I wiped the drive of a Snow Leopard system, repaired and reformatted. The drive is not Core Storage, this is Mac OS extended (journaled). When I try to restore the restore on it works for about two minutes and then stops. Finally, I get a message saying that the disc has been ejected incorrectly.

    I noticed that when I receive information on the drive, an element appears different from other readers and which corresponds to the element, owners enabled: no each other drive I've seen says owners enabled: Yes. Is it all just because there is no system on the partition?

    Also "ignore ownership on this Volume" must be checked or unchecked?

    Suggestions welcomed, I am baffled by this.

    Snow Leopard erase and install

    1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
    2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
    3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears and wait for loading to complete.
    4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of sheets to (1) on the menu drop down. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
    5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
    6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
    7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
    8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.
  • Partition recovery NB200 - 10G - failed to start the recovery process

    I NB200 a customer on the bench. He arrived with complete operating system failure and wouldn't boot from the partition of the OS or the recovery Partition.

    I checked the hard drive and it is in perfect working condition. However, it seems that all is not well that I can't boot from the partition recovery even after holding doen the 0 key.

    I tried to ask him to start from the TRUNK. INI file by pointing a "revoery" to the partition option, but it just comes up with an error message saying \system32\HAL file is missing or damaged. Does anyone know how I should ask the partition to start or how could I retrieve information from image files?

  • Cannot use the Windows Partition

    So, I have seen very similar messages and followed several forums, but I can't yet figure out what to do next.

    I have 8.1 Windows on my Mac.  I wanted to repartition the Windows partition and make bigger it because I was running low on space, and the Windows partition is what I use it mostly for graduate studies.  About a year ago, I took an easy youtube video and used Mini Wizard Partition re-partition space and it worked perfectly.  I have found the same video and tried to repartition the Windows partition again, but apparently I royally screwed up.

    My BootCamp is not yet visible more in disk utility.  Under the partitions, there is an option called "disk0s4" greyed, but I'm not allowed to do something with it.  I can't verify or repair.  If I go to Applications, BootCamp Assistant is there, but he wants me to start the installation of BootCamp.  It was not an option to restart Windows more, and when I turned on with alt + market, Windows was not an option more.

    I followed this tutorial:

    http://nerdr.com/bootcamp-partition-lost-repairing-Mac-partitions/

    and when I restarted my Mac, restart Windows was an option. So I thought that I fixed it! EVIL.  My screen was black and said: 'Missing Operating System '.

    I downloaded EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac (because it was another suggestion), and I was able to recover and see the files on the NTFS disk0s4, so I'm quite positive, they have not all been completely erased.  Or at least the part of basic Windows is still there.  I can't recover the drive to anything, because it tells me that I will just be fitness on the same drive, and I honestly don't know how to retrieve these files will help with the side of the partition of things.

    I also used TestDisk and it seemed to find my missing partition, but in the middle of analysing it, it says something like "disk too small."  After further research, I went through and took only the most recent score that seemed to be deleted with NTFS, and when you are trying to do, it would allow me to make a 'logic' partition because he said something in red, as 'bad file.'

    My Mac still works perfectly, but I'm terribly need to recover my windows.
