Choose the Partition Recovery on Lion comments

Hello

I'm trying to start the boot mode with the Mac OS client Manager X Lion on VMWare Fusion 4.1.3 the usual Mac computers physical is the alt (option) key, but it does not work on VMWare Fusion. How can this be achieved?

Thank you!

Hi Booga,

The best way to start the recovery partition must quickly click inside the virtual computer window immediately after turning the power on, and then hold down command-R.  You do command + R button at the point where the Apple logo appears on the screen, you don't have to be fast enough!  That same key combination allows to directly launch the recovery on a physical Mac partition as well.

It is also possible to hold the Option key at startup to enter our program to install firmware, although it is far from being as pretty that the start of Apple picker and we have a bug open here that Recovery HD does not appear in the list of devices in any case!  So, your best bet is to use the command + R that I described above.

If it's too fast to start, and you can not press in time, you can configure your virtual machine with a delay at the start.  Follow the instructions in the Knowledge Base article: changing the file .vmx for your Fusion virtual machine.  Add a new option as follows:

bios.bootDelay = "3000".

This will give you 3 seconds (3 000 milliseconds) to click on the VM, and then press command + R.

See you soon,.

  • Not possible to choose the partition to restore Vista CD installation

    Hello!

    Is there a normal way to install VHP on my laptop? It is quite annoyng, that the only way to install vista recovery dvd is to choose the size of the destination partition and to break all other partitions present on the disk during installation. Or maybe I'm wrong?

    If this is the only way, so maybe it's possible to get an installation normal dvd with Vista Home Premium? When you buy a laptop, I had no idea that the normal user are treated that way... like some being thoughtless. As for now, I can only say, that I bought with my knees some useless peace of software rather than an operating system...

    Kind regards.

    You're right orzech. The Vista recovery CD erase the drive HARD whole during the recovery procedure.
    But as already posted in another thread, you must know that the recovery CD is designed to put the computer laptop back to factory settings!
    What are the factory settings?
    The laptop came with preinstalled operating system and drivers Toshiba, utility tools.
    So you get this laptop State even after using the recovery CD!

    > If it's the only way, then maybe it's possible to get a normal installation DVD with Vista Home Premium
    You could buy an original CD of Microsoft Vista and could use this operating system for the installation of the laptop.
    Pilots should be available on the Toshiba site.

    By the way; the original CD of Microsoft Vista supports a backup data option.
    Vista allows you to create a backup of the system. If something goes wrong, you will be able to boot from the Vista CD and can select the created backup files to restore the operating system

  • Cannot find the partition recovery on the Satellite A200-1BP

    Hello

    First of all, I have a Vista Home Premium 1BP A200 and I lost the product recovery disc and I want to create one with "Recdisc.exe" product of Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator or Vista.

    They both failed because I didn't get a message "No disk HARD recovery Area!", then I looked in the "Disk management" section and could not find any partition without a name.

    There were two primary Partition which were 1.46 GB 'in good condition (EISA Configuration)"and my Vista (c).
    So, what should I do? Can I create a recovery partition?
    Or can I set the Recovery Disc Creator? (v. 5.0.0.5)

    PS: I got my computer several times with my CD, which probably used my recovery partition.
    Seriously, I'm out of ideas and I don't want to lose 50 dollars just to get another copy of disc PR.

    PS2: I used press '0' and 'F8' thing too, they no longer work.
    Is there a way I can restore without any disk?

    It seems that the recovery of HARD drive partition is missing
    The first 1.46 GB partition is automatically created by Vista and the C partition is the system partition, the partition of HARD drive recovery doesn't seem to be available

    > PS: I got my computer several times with my CD, which probably used my recovery partition.
    Retrieve you the Vista using the recovery disc or what drive did you use?

    If you have installed the system using Microsoft Vista disk then, it was a big mistake because it deleted the partition of HARD drive

    > Is there a way I can restore without any disk?
    Either you use a Vista MS disk and missing drivers, which you can download from the Toshiba page or you order the Toshiba Recovery disk don't see another solution

  • W520 - using the partition recovery without a bootable operating system installed

    I have a W520 with a hard drive that has been completely wiped out the Q/recovery partition.

    Is there a workflow for using the recovery partition to rebuild the factory Windows 7 install?

    1. Enter ImageX from Microsoft (somewhere).
    2. get a USB bootable with Windows 7 installation
    3. Prime the USB key and enter repair tools (command prompt)
    4. navigate to the recovery partition, file FactoryRecovery.
    5 Note the size of the sdrivebackup.wim
    6. use DISKPART to create a partition of at least that size. Make sure that it is the first, it is active and defined at startup.
    7. use ImageX to apply sdrivebackup.wim to this partition.

    The command should be: ImageX/apply [recoverypartition]:\FactoryRecovery\sdrivebackup.wim [newpartition]:------]
    8 can use DISKPART to create a partition of Windows 7 Fluxsol (probably all the remaining space).
    9. again, use ImageX to apply cdrivebackup.swm to the newly created partition of Windows 7.

    The command should be: ImageX/apply [recoverypartition]:\FactoryRecovery\cdrivebackup.swm [newwindowspartition]:------]

    Ideally this should operate. If it doesn't, try a reboot system Windows Installer USB tool to solve any problem of bootloader.

  • Concerns about the visibility of the partition recovery (Recovery HP, HP Tools)

    Dear all,

    I have HP Pro book 450 in our workplace. Before giving it to a few new users, I noticed one thing that the recovery of the laptop partitions are visible with the drive letters when you open "My computer" and they are:

    -HP Recovery

    -HP Tools

    Now, in this case two important scores above are damaging in error by the user, I'm looking for every possible way confirmed secure these partitions, as for example to hide them by removing their drive letters will help or make problem when restoring the laptop?

    The laptop came with recovery DVD for Windows 7, but I can't find any key code, where is the key code?

    Please help.

    If there is no COA on the laptop and it is a new model comes with Windows 7, then the key of windows 8 THAT injected DPK and Win7 SLP 2.1 in BIOS to activate...

    It is highly recommended that you create usb recovery media by using the HP Recovery Media Creator utility. To reinstall Windows 7 without user created media recovery or recovery partition, you will need to get the HP recovery discs.

    This info came from my HP internal information sources.

    Install an operating system and activation will occur as soon as the laptop has internet access. In your case, it would be a good plan to the password of the BIOS for the keys do not get authorized inadvertently by a curious user. It is also recommended that you create an account HP Sparekey in BIOS.

  • Re: Merge the partition recovery CD?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, Austin Airways

    Unfortunately the recovery partition can be recovered and you can do now is to order original Toshiba Recovery disk or to install own OS version.

    I m not from the United States and may not send you a link where you can order it, but I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

    Hello

    why you want to delete this partition? Because of the extra hard drive space you will win? The cost of a system of recovery very nice and comfortable, which is really good? See, if your system has serious problems and you want to recover your machine, what will you do then?

    So if you're really sure you want to do, then do as following described:

    Enter a cd image of the windows-live-cd 'UBCD4Win"(http://www.ubcd4win.com/), cd burning, start, and change your partitions with it, should work withour problems.

  • Change the drive letter of the Partition Recovery

    After previous bad experiences in trying to separate the data files program, I took the habit on my previous computer under Windows to create another partition on my hard drive to store the data files. Out of habit I still do on my desktop PC with Windows XP (great program) rather than use the My Documents folder.

    I want to do the same thing on my new DV6-3142, I use to work and create a separate partition for my data files. I understand how to create a new partition on the HDD and reassign the drive letters for the existing partitions, but I want to use the letter D for her. However, it is the letter of the drive that is used for the recovery partition.

    Can I change the drive letter of the recovery partition to, say R without affecting the operation of the recovery process, or should I leave as D for the recovery of the system to work properly that I should never need her?

    Hello:

    You leave the name of the recovery partition and drive letter unchanged and your C drive: of the same name.

    If you change these, when you press the F11 key to start the recovery process, the program know what to do.

    I am a firm believer of it also have a set of factory recovery disks. For me, it is worth less than the investment of $20.  If your HARD drive fails after the warranty period, (or if you want to upgrade your HARD drive), your recovery partition doesn't help anyway.

    How can I perform a clean installation of Mac OS x for my iMAC, retina 5K late 2014 with drive of Fusion with the intact Recovery HD partition?

    Pure how to install OSX on a Fusion drive and keep the recovery disc function

    These instructions assume that your iMAC partitions or file systems has been damaged and you want to restore to the way most efficiency with fusion drive and the recovery partition, similar to what was built in the factory.

    These instructions work for the iMAC, retina 5K end 2014 version comes with OSX Yosemite. The scores of major drive of the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive has been configured as a logical drive (merger by car).

    WARNING: These instructions here are shared for interest only. Readers to take their own risk by following these instructions. The author is not responsible for any damage caused by following these instructions.

    This is the target disk partitions, and the configuration that we want to achieve.

    Disk0 is the 128 GB SSD - solid state drive and holds the start of the partition (disk0s3)

    Disk1 is the 3.0 to HDD - mechanical transmission and holds the Recovery HD partition.

    There are two EFI partitions to partition table GUID on both hard drives (disk0s1, disk1s1).

    Disk space remaining (partition disk0s2 and disk1s2) are used to create the disc of Fusion 3.1 to named "Macintosh HD".

    / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0

    1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

    2: Apple_CoreStorage GB LVG 121.0 disk0s2

    Logical volume on disk0s2, disk1s2

    0D807F6E-FB7C-418F-AAF4-EF3EA3525D10

    Fusion unencrypted drive

    Here's how we do it.

    • A. clean reinstallation of Mac OS x.
    • 1. make sure that you back up all your data on the hard drive using Time Machine or other means. The following procedure will delete all data.
    • 2. create the OSX install USB, insert it to the MAC workstation.
    • 3. given that us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
    • 4. in the menu at the top of the screen, select disk utilities.
    • 5. turn highlighted the volume of disk Fusion called "Macintosh HD." Click clear to clean.
    • 6. If his success, then go ahead to install OSX new to that partition, as usual.
    • 7. otherwise, if it does not, that means fusion drive has been damaged.
    • 8 follow the instructions below to fix it.
    • . B. Split disc Fusion in the physical hard disks
    • 1. Since us will be operated on the internal drive of the Mac trunk, assumes that we already have boot up OSX install USB drive (see Y.).
    • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
    • 3. on the screen of the terminal type:
    • Cs diskutil list.
    • You will see something similar to the screen below.
    • 4 copy the long string after Logical Volume and replace the UUID with it in the following command to delete the logical volume of the disc fusion (aka coreStorage of logical volume):
    • diskutil deletevolume cs UUID
    • For example:
    • diskutil deletevolume E59B5A99-F8C1-461A-AE54-6EC11B095161 cs
    • 5 copy the long string after the logical volume group and replace the UUID with it in the following command to remove the drive (aka coreStorage) fusion:
    • diskutil cs remove UUID
    • p. ex. diskutil cs remove E03B3F30-6A1B-4DCD-9E14-5E927BC3F5DC
    • 6. at this stage, the fusion drive has been deleted, and hardsisk SSD and mechanical hard drive will be reappear in diskutil or separate records.
    • 7. If step 5 or 6 takes more than 30 minutes to complete, this means that the fusion drive has been corrupted. You can follow the commands below to clear the table to partition the hard way. First command clears the SSD drive, second command erases the HARD drive.
    • The command does not return a response, after 1 minute, press Ctrl + Z to complete orders. 1 minute is enough data to code and erase the partition table on the disk.
    • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk0
    • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk1
    • . C install a new copy of Mac OS x for the hard drive HDD and tested this disk partition hard recovery work.
    • 1. go on diskutil to create a partition called Macintosh HD HDD hard drive using all the space there.
    • 2 do the same with the mechanical hard drive.
    • 3. follow the usual procedure to boot from the installation of OSX USB and install a new copy of Mac OS x hard disk SSD.
    • 4. This will create the correct priming of the partitions, recovery hard drive partitions and PSX partitions hard disk HDD.
    • 5. once the installation is complete, test if OSX may start successfully, but no need to go through the initial MAC OS x didn't put in place that we're going to waste this and do the installation again later.
    • 6. we must now test if the recovery hard drive partition works.
    • 7. reboot for hard drive recovery (see X - by pressing command and R at the same time during boot right after that you hear sound start and release only a few seconds after you see the apple logo and the progress bar for loading...)
    • 8. it is important to test and make sure that the partition of hard drive recovery.
    • D. recreate the fusion drive
    • 1 since us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
    • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
    • 3
    . on the screen of the terminal type:
  • diskutil list.
  • You should find that we have a list of disk group hard physical volume only, no logic here still.
  • 4. you will see something similar to the screen below.
  • 5. search for the largest partition on the SSD hard drive, which should be close to the maximum size of HDD to the SSD (121 G, for example) and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk0s2
  • 6. search the largest disk partition mechanical forming fusion with the SSD hard drive. This should be close to the maximum size of the mechanical hard drive (for example 3 TB) hard disk and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk1s2
  • 7
  • . Now let's create the merger in car (group alias logical volume) in the Terminal, type: diskutil cs create nom_lecteur driveIDs
  • The number of the driveIDs is unlimited, it may be a number of discs, or a number of disk partitions. Always put the faster discs first, for example for our SSD disk0s2
  • For example:
  • diskutil cs create fusiondrive disk0s2 disk1s2
  • diskutil - the version of disk utility command line.
    cs - This calls for Core Storage, which is necessary for the merger.
    create - creates a basic storage group.
    nom_lecteur - is the name of the drive and how you want that he
  • appear in the disk utility (not the Finder - that comes later). You can call it what you like; in our example, we named our Fusion table "Fusion".

  • driveIDs - Here is the Player IDs of the readers you want as part of your Fusion table, separated by a space. In our example, they are 'disk0' and 'disk1', but it may be different in your configuration.
  • It is important that the faster hard drive appears first in the command, which in our case the disk0s2 (a partition in the SSD). In this way, drive fusion will use this disk as primary and the cache. The second disc in the command, in this case disk1s2 (a partition on the HARD disk). The secondary disk (HARD drive) is used to store less frequently used files.  Otherwise, the fusion drive performance will be worse that it is designed for.
  • 8. you will see something like below appear on the screen:
  • Creation Volume logical storage of kernel
  • Move isk0s2 storage of carrots
  • Disk1s2 of switching for the storage of carrots
  • Waiting for logical volume group appear
  • Discovered the new group of logical volumes 'DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 '.
  • Store LVG UUID: DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53
  • Finished CoreStorage operation
  • 9 copy to the bottom of the string after "Discovering new Volume Logic Group" using the command + C
  • 10. next, create the partition of the merger (alias logical volume) drive named "Macintosh HD".
  • In the Terminal, type: diskutil createVolume groupString jhfs cs + size volumeName
  • For example:
  • Diskutil createVolume DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%
  • diskutil - once again, this is the version of disk utility command line.
  • cs - called the basic storage functions, which are necessary for this arrangement.
  • createVolume - this is the command to create the storage area real for the reader who is represented by an icon on your desktop.
  • groupstring - this is the long alphanumeric string you copied in the previous step. It identifies the table you created such as getting a volume placed on it.
  • jhfs + -the format of the disc. It is Apple (journaled) extended Format, which is recommended for drives with an operating system installed on it.
  • VolumeName - the actual name of the volume, how it should appear under the icon. If there is a space in the name, you must put the full name in quotes ("name") or put a slash before the (name Drive\) space. In our example, we made these, naming our volume "Macintosh HD".
  • size : this is the size of the volume. In our example, we had a 1.1 TB drive. We used '1100g' to describe what 1100 GB (1.1 TB to base 10). Otherwise, we could have also used 1.1 T or even 100% as a size.
  • 11. go to diskutil to verify that you can see this new partition on the list.
  • 12. test by erasing all the data from it.
  • 13. then you can go ahead to start on the USB drive to install OSX and install a new copy of Mac OS x on it.
  • 14. This will allow you to keep the recovery disk feature.
  • X. how Prime to recover partition
  • Press and hold the command and button R set immediately after hearing the bells to boot.
  • Only release it 2 seconds after you see the Apple logo on the screen and the progress bar for the start. This will start the partition of hard drive recovery.
  • Y. how-to boot OSX install USB
  • Press and hold the command and the optionkey together immediately after hearing the ringing of boot.
  • Only release it 2 seconds after you see the Apple logo on the screen and it will give you a list of startup disk choice, choose the OSX install USB to boot from.

    What model of laptop you have exactly? As previous user written with former recovery media, it should be possible (I can't tell for sure) because the use of the expert installations you can choose the partition where the OS is to be installed.

    If you have newer model cell phone with new software to recovery (RECO) something like this is not possible.

  • I'll lose data from the drive of the partition during recovery?

    Hi all

    If I use the toshiba recovery CD to format my system, I'll lose data from the disks partition as well or just the C:?

    Hi Justin

    Well, what recovery CD you want to use?
    As much as I know several months Toshiba uses a new version of the CD recovery called Reco.
    You will find the settings option and there you can choose the option when you want to recover the operating system. I think that the first partition is erased.

    The old version of the recovery CD has supported two different options: standard and expert mode. Here it is important to use the expert mode if you want to choose the partition where the OS must be installed

  • 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?

    If you check page 48 in s manuals you will find an exact description how to start installation of recovery. The procedure on this NB200 is same or, at least, similar to all laptops come with HARD drive recovery image. Please check.
