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.

  • Satellite Pro C660 - 21(d): question about the partitions on the HARD disk

    Hello

    I just started using my new satellite pro c660 - 21 d

    My office has drive c, d, u, s
    C either windows 7, Vista D
    The drive U is 342 meg in size

    I didn't have the disk in two 230 gig drive so thoughtless narrowed C drive of 70 GB and D drive with 10 gig (it's the primary recovery partition

    I have now two empty partitions of 170 Gig (from c drive)
    and 214 Gig (from d drive)
    But windows will only allow me to add one as a disc of the user
    He says may not have more than 4

    The reason for being there is a partition of Active recovery without letter.

    I can't unshrink drive C or drive D then I went with 170 GB of unused space.

    I guess that a solution would be to lose the data disk 10 gig that contains the recovery software but then I don't have a backup.

    Suggestions as to what I could do to work around this problem.

    I am now under the Create recovery disks (2 of them) so maybe I could remove one of the partitions after.

    I don't know why he answered instead of edition, but if the recovery disc creation complete with no errors, I can remove the hard drive?

    If you have not created some recovery discs/media in the past and that recovery of HARD drive option (link posted by Liam) does not work, then you have no other options except for the command the drive recovery from here:

  • Questions about the product recovery DVD?

    Hello

    After a boot failure sunk with Windows XP Home Edition on my Equium A60-181, I had no choice but to use the product recovery DVD. I noticed there is something called expert mode, I suppose that allows you to create a custom default value of the factory Setup. So I was wondering, is it possible to format the hard drive in FAT32 instead of NTFS, create a partition for Linux and continue to use the product recovery DVD? In case you are wondering I want FAT32, so I can safely read and write my XP with Linux partition as NTFS writing is still experimental at the moment.

    See you soon,.

    Richard S.

    Hello

    Check out this link. You will find an info exactly how to recover with the Expert mode.

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2513&TSTART=15

    However, if you want to create a new FAT32 partition or another standard (Linux), I propose to use the magic of Partitions. This is a very nice program and you have a lot of options (change the size of the partitions, etc.)

  • Question about the partitions on my HARD drive

    My hard drive is divided as follows:

    (1) 1.46 GB recovery Active
    (2) 455 GB C: primary partition

    If the partition of 1.46 GB ensures recovery system (such tiny disc?), what the gb 9.27 partition for?
    Please?

    Hello

    Hmm, I think that 3) gb 9.27 primary partition contains also the Toshiba recovery system files.
    The point is that you can create the recovery disk using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery creator tool. This tool could create image contain the Win 7 32 bit and 64 bit OS.

  • 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.

  • A few Questions about the manual recovery

    DB version: 11.2.0.3.0
    Platform: Oracle Linux 6.4

    I'm not an expert in recovery.

    We had a level of SAN cloning of a RAC database. We store online Redo logs in the diskgroup RL_DG and ARCH_DG diskgroup Archive redo logs.

    After the plan of SAN cloning (EMC BCV Synch), we tried to start up of the DB using srvctl start database-d < MyDBName > and we got the following error message.

    CRS-5017: the action "ora.msblprd.db start" resource has met the following error:
    ORA-01113: file 4 should media recovery
    ORA-01110: data file 4: "+ MBL_DATA/msblprd/datafile/users.271.803502221".

    We realized that a lot of data (not justs users.dbf) need recovery files. Thus, we tried to run to RECOVER the DATABASE. But it errored out. So, we ran to RECOVER database with the HELP of BACKUP CONTROLFILE until CANCEL ;  command.

    Attempts above did not work because oracle was looking for the archived logs that was not present in ARCH_DG, RMAN has backed it up to the band and issued "delete entry".

    But I have a few basic questions.

    Question1. Why the command RECOVER DATABASE fail with ORA-01610?

    Question2. RECOVER the DATABASE and recover database using BACKUP CONTROLFILE until CANCEL commands will look only archivelogs not redo logs online. Right? I understand that this database will try to retrieve media by the application online Redo Logs when the STARTUP OPEN command is issued. Right?

    Question3. In the command RECOVER database using BACKUP CONTROLFILE until CANCEL that BACKUP CONTROLFILE, we refer to the?

    Question4. What does AUTO option? in calls it "Specify log" as I have indicated above in red

    Question1. Why the command RECOVER DATABASE fail with ORA-01610?

    Oracle has detected that the controlfile was 'old' (for example had a low point control #) as the database.  If she recognized the controlfile as a BACKUP CONTROLFILE.  You make a full recovery, that can be done if the real current controlfile and redo log files are consistent and 'newer' database in a DATABASE files to RECOVER normal.

    Question2. RECOVER the DATABASE and recover database using BACKUP CONTROLFILE until CANCEL commands will look only archivelogs not redo logs online. Right? I understand that this database will try to retrieve media by the application online Redo Logs when the STARTUP OPEN command is issued. Right?

    N ° N ° (in the normal case) the RECOVERY DATABASE can automatically identify the online redo log file must be applied to make a full recovery.  In your case, Oracle has already tried an incomplete recovery.  It will have to be provided (or be able to AUTOMATICALLY generate) the archivelog file names.  Apply of Redo Log files online only happens to a recovery of Instance - a START after a crash or abort.  Your case is a Media Recovery (again because of the backup control file).

    Question3. In the command RECOVER database using BACKUP CONTROLFILE until CANCEL that BACKUP CONTROLFILE, we refer to the?

    The controlfile you have on the disk is 'old' - it is recognized as a backup controlfile.

    Question4. What does AUTO option? in calls it "Specify log" as I have indicated above in red

    (in the normal case) Oracle can generate the name of the 'next' archivelog file based on the last archivelog applied and the log_archive_dest log_archive_format and.  Given that you had not applied all archivelog and yet, he would not be able to generate the next archivelog expected - this happens also in the RAC recovery where it can generate automatically the archivelog next to (for example) wire #1 file name because the archivelog to thread #1 has been applied, but can still generate automatically for wire #2 until an archivelog was applied.

    You will also notice the inadequacy of sever between the online redo log header and the newspaper WAITED

    > archived log contains sequence 16107. 16085 sequence required

    This means that the data files is much older than the online redo log. Given that your ad doesn't show 22 redo log groups, it is likely that the snapshot log redo DG and DG database files don't match no - the second is much older than the first.  You need an archivelog to apply, not the online redo log.

    Your query on V$ LOG and V$ LOGFILE should always optimasation THREAD # (when CAR is running) and SEQUENCE # (each Thread has it's own sequence)

    You can also view your alerts log. This could indicate that Oracle was trying to recover the datafiles Fuzzy - what would happen if your snapshot was taken without the database in BACKUP mode.

    Talk to EMC and Oracle support for the good tips on how to make a snapshot backup of an Oracle database.  Otherwise, you'll be toast when you need to perform a recovery of real Production database.  I suspect that your DGs and EMC volume is not configured properly to create synchronized instant backups.

  • Concerns about the replication on the VDR SRM Server

    Dear Experts,
    I have a few questions that I can't know since last week.
    FYI, my current environment has a VDR VM on a cluster of HQ. The VDR Server attachs with 1 system VMDK (8 GB) and 2 physical RDM disks (each disc = 1 TB).
    Now my environment will set up the Site Recovery Manager to replicate 1/3 of the total production of virtual machines on the site of DR, and VDR is one of the SRM protected VM list. In addition, we will build a DR cluster for these protected virtual machines.
    Our lease between HQ & DR line connection speed is around 20Mbps, specifically for the purpose of replication for the SRM storage.
    Questions
    1. Is it recommended to replicate Server HQ for DR using MRS. VDR online? Why?
    2. What is the best practice for backup server VDR (include backup data)?
    3. If we repliacte to Dominican Republic, VDR VDR allows to restore all backup VMs on cluster vCenter DR, since already, it was tied with vCenter cluster HQ?
    4. My total of VMs protected memory size is 148 GB, whereby for DR cluster only have 128 GB of physical memory total (2 ESXi, each has 64 GB). During the execution of failover or real failover Test, will all the VMs protected able to be powered at the same time?
    I'm happy to get any feedback from you guys.
    Thank you.
    VMheaven

    As I said in my previous post doesn't do SRM not replication - it works in conjunction with a product supported SAN to SAN replication - SRM will contact the bays of SAN to identify what LUN replicare and will know what virtual machines are sprinkled on those LUNS - only the changes of the block will be replicated.so that it would be unwise to replicate the vDR machine since there are a large number of block all changes day - it might be prudent to have a vDR VM built on the site of DR and will only be used when there is a failover.

    Yes it works in the same way between 4.0 u3 and 4.03-

  • Ask about the product recovery process

    Hello Mr./Mrs

    I'm about to start the recovery process of the product on my laptop, so I've read is that it formats all data on the hard drive. Is what it means if I have 2 hard drives (C & E drive) all on each of them will be erased or simply C drive only?

    If both drives will be erased so where can I restore my data disc E to continue the process?
    Thank you for your support.
    Your Tony

    Hello Tony

    It will be interesting to know what model of laptop do you have and how you want to perform the installation of recovery.

    If you use F8 and drive HARD recovery (on the new laptop models) installing the C partition will be deleted only.
    If you use the whole HARD drive recovery DVD will be erased and formatted.

    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.

  • Question about the partitions on satellite Pro L300-164

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 and it came with vista on the 1 74 GB partition and a data partition 73 GB but it has a folder called HARD drive recovery, but I want Vista to all of the 140 gb and have the recovery partition on a small partition of 4 GB for HARD drive recovery.

    Is this possible without mucking up the HARD drive recovery?

    No, is not possible, but that you can and should do is create recovery DVDs.
    After doing this, you can remove this folder and organize partition how you want it to be.
    Remember that you will lose the ability to install the operating system from the disk using F8 and repair my computer option.

    If a problem occurs, you can install Vista using this recovery DVDs.
    Please note: after installation of recovery, you will have the same structure divides again and all your saved data will be gone.

Maybe you are looking for
