Create a recovery without the extras disk

We all know that on an HP system, if a person tries to open the subfolders contained in the part of the Factory Image of the hard drive (D: on most systems), they'll just see a message saying: "contains this area of your hard disk (or partition) contains files used to perform a system restore.»  Do not remove or modify any of these files.  Any change to this partition could prevent a recovery of the system in the future. "Same thing with the recovery discs.

However, if you use something like a Windows Ultimate Boot CD (http://www.ubcd4win.com/), or probably a linux or FreeDos disk, they will be able to see the files.

On my system (Pavilion p6210f with Home Premium Windows 7 x 64), the files and folders listed are:

$RECYCLE. BIN

boot

HP

Preload

Recovery

System Volume Information

Bootmgr

BT_HLP. FLG

CSP.dat

hpdrcu.PRC

Language.ini

RPCONFIG. JOURNAL

The HP folder, for example, has the Lightscribe, HP MediaSmart and programs like that in program.

Is it possible for someone who knows what they are doing to create recovery disks customized those files that are only Windows, or close to it and have the extras of HP and other deleted stuff?  Or even 2 sets of disks of Windows on one and other and additional HP on the other and people programs can install only the programs that they use?

This is particularly useful for people who have their partitioned disks with windows and programs in the C: drive and other files of other readers and do not want to restore the C: drive.  One very annoying thing on the recovery partition or recovery discs, it's that it erases all partitions created by a user, whereas a typical drive of Windows will ask you which partition to install to.

I realize that the disk imaging programs can be used to create an image of Windows once it is installed, but who may be unreliable, especially if we can't start Windows at all.

Although there is no direct way to accomplish what you want to do, there is a solution that does the trick. Personally, I use the method that I'll share with you and I also provided this information to others on this forum and it worked for them as well.

First of all, create your HP recovery disks. You will need for these as a failsafe incase something goes wrong. Then, you will need to download an ISO (disk image) of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit a company named Digital River download Microsoft partner. Once this downloaded, you have to burn the image on a DVD to an installation of Windows 7 bootable disc.

Before deleting the current installation of HP OEM Windows 7, you must take a 'snapshot' of the HP OEM Windows 7 product key and activation OEM HP certificate. Information on how to do to provide in a PM (private message).

    Does anyone know how to initiate recovery of the system on this laptop?

    Hello

    The recovery disk was not provided with the laptop because there is a tool called Toshiba Recovery disk Creator that allows you to create a recovery disc!
    Please check if you can create a recovery disk using this tool!

  • Recovery software deleted without the original disks?

    I have a computer Dell Latitude D800. The operating system is Windows XP Professional, 2002, SP2. I recently downloaded updates from Microsoft, that there were many and installed updates. During this procedure and I do not know how, subsequently set MS office, Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook, has been eliminated. I discovered this when I tried to open Word, Excel, and Powerpoint documents. I noticed that the icons of these documents had changed, and a pop box would be saying "Windows is not knowing what created this program file" After checking the list of programs from the Start button, of course, these programs have disappeared. I installed Word, Excel and Powerpoint Reader and I can now open and read documents, but of course, I can not change or create new ones. Again I have Outlook Express and can use it to my email. I don't have the original disks to reinstall the software. Is there a way to 'recover' this software and reinstall?

  • How to create a recovery without a disc writer drive

    I want to create a recovery disc for my 13 edge that has no internal disc burner.

    Unfortunately rescue & recovery does not offer to create an ISO collection that I could then burn it on another computer.

    I have an external DVD drive, but no writer. So, I'd be able to boot from a CD of restoration if I could create a.

    I inserted a USB and Rescue and Recovery can write to it, but in my experience USB keys are lost or overwritten easily so I prefer a CD as recovery media.

    So my question is:

    Is it possible to make a key USB bootable recovery CD, or perhaps create an ISO with R & R recovery disk?

    Or can I just burn the stick as a data CD?

    ADD ON:

    I just tried to test booting from the USB stick recovery created but it did not work

    I was able to select the USB key to the F12 prompt, but the screen stays white with a underscore cursor in the upper left corner. After 2 minutes, I gave up and started normally new so I don't always have a recovery media.

    New or second-hand memory key USB or USB key requires an active partition created from wind...

    Note, you can set the partition active after creating a media recovery - just use the command 'active', but not 'clean', 'create' or 'format '.

  • AE CC14 creates a composition without the sequence first inside!

    There, hell

    Since the next generation of Adobe out our hole Creative Suite is to ventilate for no rational reasons...

    However, we work with a whole group with many parallel projects and would not be updated until we have finished our real projects because of the same issue, there was last year. Open files with new version caused you were not able to open the file with an older version... (speaking of the first).

    My question:

    I'm still working with first CC 2014 and after effects CC 2014. I import my first sequence in my AE project. Now, I want to create a demo of my sequence in it. There are many ways to do it. So there are for example the icon of the model, or you can do it with the menu bar.

    It creates the composition but without the sequence in it. I do not use anything. Not all fonts and even no animation. Import of simple dynamic links (not import itself, it is imported, but it does not appear in the model. Cannot move a drop, can't do anything with it).

    Now the update is online, and because of these 'new' problems in CC14 you're forcing the user to udate to CC15!

  • Creating simple shapes without the wizard

    Hi all.

    I've been hitting my head against the proverbial wall for days trying to find a way to do something that is probably very simple.

    First of all, my features. I work in Acrobat X on a Windows 7 PC. My forms were created in InDesign CS5.5.

    I'm working on the creation of a couple of forms for our sales team to deliver to our customers. We would like to see the forms digitally to fill, recordable and printable for users with reader. I know it's all doable with extended rights. No biggie.

    My problem is I want to use the submission tools automatically integrated in the Acrobat forms Wizard. I'm not at all a "submit" button. Our workflow desired is that our customers complete the form and then either print sign and deliver via mail or by fax (a form requires a signature, and our customers aren't saavy enough to use digital signatures) or for forms that do not require signatures, fill, save, and email back to us manually. All is well with the form design process, except that as soon as I use the forms tools in Acrobat to fine-tune my form, it adds functionality to submit the form to my PDF (the dreaded purple bar). I don't even have to distribute the form for this purpose. It seems to be applied as soon as I use all forms of editing tools.

    So my question is how can I change my form so that it is functional without the button submit the form applied? I did several searches on these forums and related issues found, but have not found a solution that will help me here. I have LC and am ready to dive in there, if that's what is required, but it would take a bit of research on my part because I've never used.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Michelle

    I see what you're saying. Note the Send button in the document message bar purple forms should appear for a form not distributed when you image previewed in form editing mode. It will appear not for users who fill out your form, or when you exit the form editing mode.

  • Adobe Captivate 7 - How to create a custom without the function table of contents table of contents?

    Hello

    I want to create a table of contents in my E-Learning-project because the automatically generated TOC of Adobe Captivate 7 includes all the features I need to check for example chapters which are the groups in the film strip.


    I use master slides in my project.
    The table of contents, I need must be designed and programmed as follows:

    1 intro / title slides

    9 chapters

    The progress of the work - 3 status - all chapters should be moved by symbols in the table of contents

    Symbol 1: chapter has not yet begun (just an empty box)

    Side 2: chapter is work in progress (a square with a green triangle inside)
    Side 3: chapter is finished that means that all of the slides in this chapter are read (the square is filled with a green square)

    All the chapters and Points to the table of contents must be clickable (links) maybe with a mouse over effect (change in colour of mouse) and should start to the first slide of this chapter.

    The chapter which is open must be written in bold with one blue color, others who are not open to be written in the normal font with a black color

    I think it's a little complex, but solutionable.

    I think I need to create three symbols of the buttons form, advanced actions that tend to fade and fade out named symbols.

    Is there someone who can describe the process of creation? Where should I place all the functions, actions and so on? On the slide master?

    Thank you for the answers!

    The only thing I can say about it is that I build it in Flash, so it could be dynamic and reusable.

    If you take the time to build a PC inside it only works for one project. Certainly you would have a base to work from, but for a another edition project wouldn't be fun.

    If you need HTML5, I think it would be much more difficult to build a dynamic table of contents.

  • Can I create a recovery bootable USB through disk utility?

    My HARD drive is dying, I can't access my Macintosh HD partition anymore and I can't reinstall OS because I SMART errors. Before the format and reinstall the attempt to load slow my computer, random errors, etc. So I definitely think that the HARD drive is near death. My plan is to replace my HDD for a Virgin SSD, I perform this task several times on computers of the victory but for MAC, I wonder how I will load the new OS. Can I make a bootable USB with the recovery partition, but on a USB key tools? Unofrtunately I have more available Mac to create the USB bootable through itunes.

    My computer is the MacBook Pro (13-inch mid 2010), I have also all original packaging somewhere, if there is a CD that I can use, I certainly can get too.

    Any advice?

    Thank you!

    Apple have this to do a USB installation...

    Create an installer for OS X - Apple support bootable

    Another option is to use the diskmakerx.com application

    You must have the OS installer downloaded to make these methods of work is probably not practice on your failed drive.

    Both of these options are to run a 'normal' operating system too. The recovery partition is not 'normal '.

    Another option is to use the Internet recovery mode if your Mac supports...

    Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support

    On macOS recovery - Apple Support

    Use wired ethernet for best results, since it will download a bootable OS & then download the installer of the OS also.

    I suspect you have the update of the firmware installed to add this feature if it has been updated over the last 3 years

    You may be able to generate a score of alternative recovery to another disk (such as a USB key) If you want to just "compensation of base OS.

    OS X: on Recovery Disk Wizard - Apple Support

    A last solution would be to clone your drive failing on an external drive (or use the new SSD in a proper case). That can be done in the modes of recovery via disk utility. Basically, you use a feature to "restore" to clone one volume to another. (I don't see clear instructions for the moment so ask if you want to pursue this option).
