  Hello

  If you have already changed the partitions of HARD drive and deleted files from the HARD disk, then your HARD drive recovery is too bad!

  But to make sure that the HARD drive recovery is not possible please press F8 immediately after the power of the laptop. Usually a start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the option called fix my computer. Then you should be able to choose recovery option.

  But like I said that this is only possible if your HARD drive was not formatted!

  If you have formatted the HARD drive and changed partitions then you will need a Toshiba DVD recovery that you have not because you didn t he create at the beginning. Is this good? Well, then you must order the recovery DVDs if you want to retrieve the laptop to factory settings.

• XPS 12 / Win 8: how to boot from the recovery partition / reinstall Windows?

  Messed up things on a newly purchased 12 XPS in Windows 8, and I want to boot from the recovery partition and reinstall windows.

  Support online pages point by pressing F8 during startup, but this does not at all.

  How can I access the recovery partition?

  To access to the menu of, , press F2.

  To enter the boot options menu, press F12.

  Because the XPS 12 boots so fast, it is better to repeatedly press F2 or F12 after restarting the machine. During the startup process, texts for options should appear at the bottom right of the screen. If you enter Windows, you will need to restart again and press F2 or F12 until it works. However, I don't think there is an option in the BIOS to restore the computer to its factory condition. The previous post by DELL-VIKRAM M describes how to properly restore the machine to its factory state.

• recover from the recovery partition

  I found several entries by searching in the forum, but nobody seems to be similar to my problem:

  I want to recover my windows vista system partition using the partition recovery on my T61p.

  It worked very well for me last time. But in the meantime I installed Ubuntu which was installing the grub loader, I think that what causes the problem all to rewrite the mbr.

  By pressing the Thinvantage key while booting does not show me the usable entries. If I boot from the Thinkpad - Recovery Boot disk iexpect only after pressing 'next' linux partitions and data will be deleted also.

  But especially as I could finally recovery... "Select the partition you want to use as the system partition" or another message like this.

  I remember, I was delighted when I saw this message. Because at the time, I was doing this I was expecting something like that. But today, that would be great, I don't have to reinstall Linux.

  Can you please tell me how I'm going to continue?

  Thank you

  For 3 or 4 days I'm looking a solution for my problem.

  I tried many things and spent a lot of time reading about similar issues.

  Windows Vista Ultimate on my T61p is not able to upgrade to SP1. I did it via ThinkVantage System Update, Windows Update function function and I downloaded the SP1 of Microsoft.com.

  Meanwhile my games installed do not work, I reinstalled them and then got an error message like: ereg.exe does not work.

  Installation completed then and I got the same error as before, at the start of the game.

  I had a serious accident before 4 months and I spent all the time in hospitals. My only satisfaction now is my new T61p and I don't get to work.

  PROBLEM:

  Maybe I did something wrong before update so I tried to use the recovery feature to set windows to the same status as when I got the laptop.

  I tried using the CD Boot Vista added, disk 1-c and the last c. I also tried using the recovery partition which I did not have to work when I started this thread.

  During this time I installed the rescue and recovery 4.2 and now he got the correct menu entry. When I select this function (F11) starting the computer was 'normal' and I had the selection of GRUB menu...

  I also found a scandiskpatch.exe which should correct some problems of RnR using Vista and 4.2 RnR. But when I doubleclick on it, I get a message that my computer do not have good condition for the correction of program (or something else, I use the German language pack.

  I want to restore my computer, and then try to update and if this doesn't work I still will have to find a solution for this.

  Please help me with this very annoying problem.

• Pavilion dv6t-2000 - cannot recover from the recovery partition

  Hey there. I'm trying to restore my laptop with Win 7 settings, but I can't seem to restore from my recovery partition. I tried the F8, F11 key and on the ways to office with no luck. In some of them, recovery option is grayed out, but using the recovery on the Desktop Manager, I have recovery option, but he says to insert disk 1 before continuing. I have no disc and I already have a previous restoration set the last time I got my laptop (about 2 years ago).

  When I click on my computer I see the c drive and d drive - what is labeled a recovery partition. I did a check of the recovery partition and there are no errors. It seems to work fine, except that my laptop is not to be used to recover. I know it's a major road, so I've never tested with it.

  Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated

  It is more likely that some of the files were corrupted on the recovery partition. At this point, since you have no recovery disc, I would phone HP to order recovery media.

• Try to restore from the recovery partition

  I'm trying to restore my laptop to its original state by using the restore partition.  I formatted the C drive, but the recovery partition was left in place.  Is there a way to do this?  I, unfortunately, do not appear to have the recovery CD I did a disk with Acronis image that seems to be a joke as it will not restore anything.  Would appreciate any advice you can give me at this point.

  My laptop was a Vista Home, if that helps.

  Thank you

• Satellite A660 - custom install from the recovery disk

  I like my windows costs. I do not have programs that I don't really need. I tried to uninstall some of them, but they always leave unexpected pieces behind them. So is there a way to stop the factory reset on A660 before installing drivers and other software. So I can install the readers updated and the programs I want to.

  I noticed that I can leave the program that installs Windows regarding the Office when using ctrl-alt-delete. Thing is that it will start again once the computer restarts then I have to remove this program from loading at the beginning upward. Can anyone share ideas?

  I would be really nice if Toshiba allows us to decide what kind of programs that we have in our computer.

  Satellite A660 97u model. Windows 7.

  Hey,.

  I put t think its bloatware. It s tools can you FN keys, webcam, etc. Laptop with a lot of material requires a lot of drivers and software. In addition, you also get a large number of tools that makes computing easier, like Toshiba Bulletin Board software, burning, etc.
  If you remove it n don't like this software, but it s kind of Toshiba to deliver these software with laptops.

  But to answer your question: custom installation is not possible because the recovery disk contains a ready image of factory settings, no single file.
  This is why you must use a Microsoft disc.

• Can I do a fresh install from the recovery CD

  I'll buy a new laptop that comes with Windows 8.

  For various reasons, that I want to continue to use Windows 7, so I will clean up the computer and install windows 7.

  Now the question:

  One day I might want install windows 8 on the computer again, how can I install it when I have no disk Windows 8?

  You can do without any trace of Windows 8 in the background.  For example, if you buy a bigger hard drive and put it in the computer.  This hard drive is completely empty, and you can use your system created image to reload with Windows 8.

  But don't forget, a recovery disc and a system image disc are two different things.

  The manufacturer of your may have included a disk creator tool is or Windows has its own built-in function.  However, on a windows, there was some changes on how to create a system image disc (a few changes with 8.1 Windows as well), so here's how: http://www.howtogeek.com/167984/how-to-create-and-restore-system-image-backups-on-windows-8.1/

• win7 install from a copy of the recovery partition?

  I just bought a desktop PC HP G5135uk for my daughter, but she wants me to downgrade to winxp to win7 for her. As I understand it, the only way to save and install the win7 system later (this or any of my other PC) is to burn discs from the recovery partition. I don't want to lose the system as it was part of the price, but is not no matter what dvd - r at the moment, so I was wondering if simply copying the recovery partition completely on my back of the drive (on our network) may run until I can pick up some discs? I would also just that partition in place anyway, no format, simply install xp on the system partition.

  Advice or to monitor problems appreciated. Also, I hope the drivers are working or I can replace with versions mean for xp (downloaded all the drivers for this machine already as backup).

  Save yourself a lot of grief and burn the recovery DVD set. Usually only takes 2-3 DVD. I found that Sony DVD + R works the best for me to have several machines HP belonging to the family.

  Copy of the partition rarely works. I have tried everything recently on a laptop hard drive that wasn't when the owner did not (yet) a recovery set... didn't work. Software to create an exact copy of imagery would be the best chance to work by restoring the image of the hdd_but who rarely works either.

  BTW, the machine has the Intel G41 Chipset and a SATA hard drive, so you will need to change to AHCI Mode IDE controller in the BIOS to enable XP install. XP doesn't have SATA drivers. Or you can integrate SATA drivers with nLite and burn a new cd of XP.

• New HD: The recovery partition restore

  Hello

  I'm trying to upgrade my hard drive of 3000 N200 to a bigger, faster disk (250 G).

  I find the recovery (startup Lenovo care button) of a big utility feature, because I'm a computer technician and my system has to be reinstalled frequently.

  My question is: How can I migrate the recovery on my new drive partition.

  I used Symantec Ghost to clone disk to disk (I put the two in a desktop PC and copied directly from 1 in the other), but let the ghosts to change the size of the data partitions (to my knowledge, ghost has kept the same size of the hidden recovery partition).

  But when I try to boot from the recovery partition, I block just after the choice of the F key (where I pressed F11) on a white screen.

  I saw a few disks and restore discs can be, but I would use the recovery partition as it is autonomous and always with the computer by definition.

  Is there a way to get things to work on the new drive.  I have access to the old drive as it still works OK, so slow.

  Thanks for the information

• How to install Windows from the recovery in mSATA SSD partition?

  Hi all

  I intend to install mSATA SSD on my ThinkPad E420 soon. My laptop comes with the recovery partition in the hard drive. How to install Windows on the SSD drive?

  I am familiar with the WIndows installation of optical media, but never to the recovery partition (which I assume where is the installer of Windows).

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards

  Hello

  Sorry, I have no idea on how to install directly from a separate to another drive, but you may want to check this . You will need 1 CD (start) and a 4.7 GB DVD (data) because Lenovo recovery adds all this bloatware in factory settings.

  That said, if you want a clean install, use the Windows disk (in case you do not have the same edition, you can download it legally from the net, google it) and your OEM key for activation.
