• x 360: delete the recovery partition after installing Linux

  Hello

  My x 360 laptop with 10 Windows works fine. I just installed Linux dual boot (w. Windows 10) on three new partitions. The scores are as below. E, F, G partitions are Linux.

  I have these questions please:

  1. is the recovery partition (D) no longer, now that I have partitioned the disk? (I did a recovery USB flash drive when I bought the computer)

  2. is it safe to remove the recovery partition (D)?

  3. There is also a small partition of 980 MB. What is c? Is it safe to remove?

  Thank you

  YCC

  

  Sorry, no.  You can not recover by using the HP Recovery partition after you change the partitioning scheme.

  As it is now, you might as well delete it.

  It will not hurt to remove it now because the HP Recovery works doesn'y work in any case.

  I know Macrium Reflect can backup and restore Windows and Linux distros because I have tried it, myself.

  Good luck

• creating recovery media after upgrade to 8.1 window

  Hello friends. I have a lot of confusion. I bought a laptop on December 2012 with window 8 preinstalled and created the recovery media about 6 or 7 months later. And now, I upgraded my system to window the window store 8.1. And now again I would create a recovery media for windows 8.1. So my question is if I create recovery media on a flash drive usb and if in the future I want to reset my pc or reinstall my system, I'll make window 8 or 8.1 on my system. I'm not a computer expert. If anyone can help me please. Thank you.

  Hello:

  You will get Windows 8.

  If you want to do a recovery W8.1 image you can do the following...

  You can create a system image in W8.1 and save it on a portable hard drive or set of DVD as you might in W7.

  Instead of making a bootable cd as in W7, you need a boot flash drive boot. You can use a flash drive to very small capacity (256 MB) for the startup recovery W8 flash player.

  Check out these links for more information.

  Create the image of the W8.1 system:

  http://www.hanselman.com/blog/CreateACompleteSystemImageBackupWithWindows81AndFileHistory.aspx

  Create bootable W8.1 flash player to access the system image.  Don't forget, you can use this drive, you can boot from it and access the system image you created on DVD or a portable USB hard drive.

• Problem with recovery Partition(After i got a Virus)

  Hi all

  I use HP Envy 15 laptop with windows 7 Home premium x 64 bit installed. I don't create the recovery discs since I've had this laptop and what happened is that I had a virus on the internet but I have fixed almost all the defects of the system caused by the latter, but the main problem for me, is that it changes all the Player main file name in Virus1232 for example (d:\recovery converted d:\virus1234) and I spent hours on the internet for the names of folders and files right and I got them all but only a single file, not sure. My problem is when I enter the Recovery Manager it detects none my recovery partition (but the virus is not responsible for any deletion of file it just caused some change system) and just to talk I've also corrected the names of folders and files in the c: drive, since they are necessary also.

  

  What are the names of files I got in the D: drive: bootmgr - BT_HP.flg - CSP. DAT - DeployRp.log - HPSF_Rep.txt - language.ini. and let him file name is the one im not sure of: "HP_WSD.dat" (it's a file of size zero).

  The recoverymgrdump.txt just works & "leaving CSBRMgr::GetRPTOOLPartIndex!
  then he said to me:

  "Win32 System Info Code = 3, Message Info = the system does not have the specified path."

  and he also said:

  "CSBRMgr::HpcdFlgIsExistInUP : \WINDOWS\hpdrcu.prc does not exist."

  I don't know if this is normal, but also the deployrp.log gives me this error:

  "The package does not exist: c:\RM\Tools\DeployRp\WinPE_LangPacks\64\winpe-setup.cab.

  of course there are errors more in both files, but I guess that those who are the most important.

  
  

  So my question is: the attributes of file in the d: drive would be responsible for this error (I changed all the attributes to be hidden and read-only system)

  OR

  If anyone has a solution please tell me what to do.

  Thank you.

• Can I use the HP Recovery partition after formatting and partitioning the rest of the hard drive?

  I recently had my HP Pavilion dv4 2145dx laptop (Windows 7 64-bit) go kerput.  The Geek Squad said that the motherboard is dead.  I bought a laptop and I use this one for now, and I use the former dv4 as external hard drive.

  I intend to continue to use the hard drive from the old dv4 as an external unresolved for now, but I wish we could fix the dv4 at some point in the future.  Here's the problem: to get the most out of the former dv4 as external drive, I want to repartition it so that there is an NTFS partition and one HFS partition +.  This way I could easily use it with my Mac and Windows machines.

  But if I do that, I'm not sure if the image of HP recovery would continue to operate.  If it does not, then if/when I get the old dv4 a new motherboard, I couldn't restore the operating system from the recovery partition.  It is a problem, because I have not create recovery disks (stupid, I know - I'm definitely making them for the new machine).

  So, I want to do these two things:

  (1) create my dv4 recovery disks.  Can I do this if the dv4 drive is mounted in an external enclosure?

  (2) format and partition the drive dv4 (the leaving intact recovery partition) and later to recover the system from the recovery partition.  The recovery partition would continue to operate in these conditions?

  Thanks for any help that anyone is obtained.

  Hello:

  What you do to the C:\drive will make the ineffective recovery partition.

  You will not be able to create a set of recovery discs unless the drive is usable in Notepad.

  Can you still read all 25 characters of your product key of W7 on the bottom of your laptop broken?

  If so, you can do this...

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  Or, you can probably still order a set of recovery disc for your HP laptop.

• How to re-enable loading the recovery partition after stock mSATA SSD HDD cloning?

  Dear community,

  This weekend I managed to install mSATA 80 GB Intel SSD on my older X 220 of 1 month. With the help of the Intel Data Migration Software my HARD drive 320 GB stock has been cloned on mSATA SSD 80 GB with the downsizing of the system partition main Windows7_OS (66GB instead of 287 GB) and the preservation of the windows loading partition SYSTEM_DRV and ThinkVantage Rescue & Recovery partition Lenovo_Recovery in place. Later, I removed the HARD drive to stay on the SSD system only for testing purposes.

  While Windows loads fine, the BlueButton seems to be a malfunctioning now: instead of loading the partition of ThinkVantage Rescue & recovery it shows me the message of Windows loader telling me that it cannot find the target system more. What's wrong? Is there a way to remedy this?

  NOTE: When I'm pulling HDD inplace and pushing the BlueButton then R & R support very well! It seems that ThinkVantage seeks R & R partition on the disk instead of SSD.

  Thank you!

  OK, answering my own question: Reinstall ThinkVantage Rescue & recovery could help as soon as it re - initializes the boot partition as well.

• Recovery partition after reclassification to win 8 to Win8.1

  Recently, I used the recovery partition to reset my laptop. I used 8.1, was back to 8, then I did the upgrade to 8.1 again.

  I would like to recover the original factory state again, to start over.

  I learned there may be problems using the recovery partition. Is this true? If so what are the options available? I had no problems when I did so a few days ago, but I hesitate to tempt fate. Basically, I'm afraid of ending up with a laptop that is unusable.

  I think I did an installation disc at some point and it will look. Maybe it's a solution?

• Fusion 6/6.0.1 and Mavericks Developer Preview 4 - installer does not create recovery partition

  I can't get a new facility for the Mavericks by using the last full download available on the Mac App Store (DP-4), to create a recovery during the installation partition. I always find myself with just an EFI and the main boot partition. The recovery partition is required to test the new features of FileVault 2. Has anyone of another seen elsewhere or found a solution? I filed a bug with Apple, but I feel it's more a VMware bug as installer even on a physical machine did in fact create a recovery partition. I tried to change the type of the machine virtual of SATA SCSI hard drive, but that has not made a difference.

  Thank you

  -Mike

  We looked at and we can confirm that the problem comes from the merger, not the Mavericks. We are working on a fix.

• HP 450-011: delete the recovery partition after upgrade to win 10?

  I have a new HP 450-011 and it came with Win 8.1 and the recovery with the letter D: drive partition.  I did the upgrade to windows 10.  I made a set of recovery DVD for win installation 8.1.  Is there a reason for me not to delete the D: drive and replace it with my information?  I seriously doubt I'll want to roll back to 8.1 Win.

  Greetings,

  Have you tested the Win 8.1 HP Recovery disks before installing Win 10?

  A question is: If you need technical assistance from HP tech for a possible hardware problem. HP normally requires that the factory installed operating system to take in charge. This policy of HP may have changed during the upgrade to win 10. I do not suspect.

  You can export the recovery, Partition because it will not work now in any case.

  But you need a way to go back to win 8.1 when you need HP warranty support.

  Since you have already upgraded to Win 10, the only way to check the recovery of 8.1 Win disks is to use them and start all over again. Or the support of disks/USB recovery HP Win 8.1 on a new equivalent or larger HDD or SSD. A good installation means that you have now the factory install on this disk.

  It's a lot of work.

  The problem of guaranteed support is your problem.

  I have eliminated this problem by installing Win 10 on a new SSD. I have HP Win 8.1 on a separate SSD and win 10 on a different SSD. Possible guarantee problem solution means earn 8.1 running on HP SSD factory to check the problem of winning 10 SSD.

• Can I create recovery DVDs after installing Windows XP Home edition?

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L300. I formatted the c drive and installed windows xp, but soon I realized that I forgot to create a recovery disk.
  Now the F8 does not work, but the drive d and hddrecovery the folder that contains the files of Toshiba recovery still exists. 3.8 GB of data is located in this folder.

  Is it possible to create a recovery disk now. Thanks already.

  Hello

  Recovery DVDs can be created with the special tool only. The name is Toshiba Recovery creator. This tool is part of the Vista installation only factory settings.

  So now, you can not create recovery media and there is no way to launch the installation of F8 HARD drive recovery. I do not understand why you ignored Toshiba reminder on creating recovery DVDs.
  Anyway, you can order the new copy under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  Bye and good luck!

• safe to remove the recovery partition after having made discs?

  As the title suggests, made the recovery discs and want to use the hard disk space that is absorbed by the recovery partition.  Is it safe to delete them or will the lack of it on the hard drive cause problems with the recovery discs if ever needed?

  (G5135uk desktop HP just lowered from 7 to XP PC)

  In your case of removal of Windows 7 as the operating system and using Windows XP, I would say it is safe.  If Windows 7 was used, I would recommend to keep in tact.  If the recovery disks are used, it must put the computer back to factory new, even with the Parition of recovery went.

• Satellite U500-10F - creating recovery disk after upgrade Windows 7

  I bought a Satellite U500-10th with Vista OS and I decided to upgrade to Windows 7, so I ordered at Toshiba upgrade disk and installed it.

  * My question is *: * it is possible to create with Windows 7 recovery discs? * in order to avoid the downside to install vista first then do the upgrade to windows 7

  Whenever I need to do a clean install and also to avoid the disadvantage that it is not too recommended to validate windows whenever you perform a clean installation, because the problems of authenticity can emerge with microsoft!

  Thank you

  Hi m.tarek,

  I doubt that this would be possible. First of all, you have ordered only an upgrade, which means that this version can be installed on a pre-installed version of Vista. It is not a full version that you can install without BONES.

  Besides recovering the files on the second partition (btw, that's a picture) contains the Vista operating system and not Windows 7. It does not update.

  Sorry mate, but this is why there will always be this update of s. Alternative, you can create your own image using Acronis True Image or other imaging software.

• Re: Satellite A300 - 27H? Do I need to drive HARD recovery partition after the creation of DVD

  I just created my recovery two DVDs for my new computer and I want to know if I still need my 113GB partition on my computer?

  Hmm.
  The recovery disk would fix the laptop back to factory settings, this means that the recovery disk would be to format the whole HARD drive and would create the same partitions as the first day of purchase to create also the recovery of HARD drive partition too

  So I think you could remove it if you n t want to have this partition on your HARD drive

  See you soon
