data file on the recovery partition

I have HP P1007c and running Win 7.  Accidentally, I wrote a music video file in the root directory of my drive D: (HP_RECOVERY) which has the subfolder \Recovery on him.   Can I safely delete this video music file?

Note: I have already make the DVD recovery successfully and they are stored.

Hello mbp333, you should be able to delete the file if you can locate and not badly done.

If you can't, it probably would not corrupt restore HP Recovery.

If so, you can always go back to the restore HP Recovery disc, although these are not as reliable as the D: partition recovery.

  • 2000-2d27cl HP: recovery file exist but the recovery partition has been changed

    recovery partition has been extended and after several months I had some problems, so I decided to reset my laptop to factory settings but Recovery Manager computer cannot recognize the recovery partition. Recovery partition has been extended and I use this partition as a backup partition for my photos, programs and music. The reason why I want to reset to factory settings is because my laptop in early labour right and after ten minutes start to work very slowly, I can't do anything!

    Help, please!

    Thank you for your answer, but I was already able to reset my laptop to factory settings. My recovery partition has been extended, but the drive letter is different. When I realized this error, I change the drive letter. Recovery Manager started smoothly with F11 taster during startup. So, I think that everyone can do the same thing, you can change the size of your recovery partition and you can use it as backup partition, but do not try to move or copy your restore file to any location.

  • Where are the installation of Vista on the recovery partition files stored?

    Where are the real Vista installation files stored on the recovery partition? If it helps I have a Compaq Presario SR5601UK. They are all stored in a folder or are they distributed? A quick dir at the command prompt, the only way you can access the files :-(, revealed a large amount of .wim files, mainly in "preload", but none on about 100 MB in size. I just assumed that HP uses the real Vista installation process, just gives their graphical front-end and adds some garbage in. If he does not tell everything.

    Anon, they all are on partition D: and no, this isn't a hidden Vista copy. It is integrated with the HP software. This is also why you cannot repair Vista unless you have a retail copy. Other you need to perform a restore.

  • Satellite P750 (PSAY1A) - How update the recovery partition?

    Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

    My Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022) the factory settings has 132 update of Windows that should be applied during the first pass. I had to run Windows update 4 times before she shows "up-to-date". Not to mention drivers Toshiba as well.

    I also want to include some applications (Microsoft Office and other software and utilities)...
    Overall, I spent 2 days just to bring it t the State I want in.
    But I can't just access the recovery Partition (of the less any of this!)

    If you look at disk management, the recovery Partition is not a Volume name and that the file system is empty. If I right click on the recovery partition... all I see is "Help" Option

    I tried to assign a drive by using Diskpart letter... but it doesn't show much.
    My guess is that it is GBT/EUFI.

    Does anyone have experience updating the recovery Partition?

    > Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

    What do you mean by update recovery partition?
    The recovery partition should NOT be touched!

    In which case you'd change the partition, the HARD drive recovery process could not be started!

    Probably, you have not understood the meaning of such a HARD drive recovery procedure.
    It's the option provided by Toshiba and the recovery of HARD drive allows you to establish the notebook to factory settings; on the same State as at the first day of the purchase.

  • Change the drive letter for the recovery partition

    The recovery partition is, by default, the value to D: which means that if I create a data partition, it is automatically in letters f: while this is not unacceptable, it is inconvenient.  I would like to change the drive letter of the partition data on D: and set the recovery as f partition: if I do this, it will automatically disable the ability to recover?  I am running Windows 7 Professional, which is an originally installed Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade.

    Hello Richard9, if you change the Recovery D: HP restore partition to another letter, the recovery procedure would not work if you ever need.

    If you have files HP Recovery discs, you could delete this partition and recover the capacity of hard drive D: and use the set of diskettes to restore HP recovery to reintall the original software and the partitions of the hard drive, all as they were when shipped from HP.

  • Equium won't start - how to access the recovery partition?

    Hi, my sister has a 2008 Equium A200-1V0 with Vista 32-bit, that no longer starts (probably due to damage of rootkit virus). It loads the BIOS but then goes to black screen with blinking cursor.

    F8 does not work.
    F2 goes to Phoenix TrustedCore Setup utility. The Toshiba hard drive and a CD-ROM drive are listed in hand and start in the right order.

    Using F12 I can get it to boot from a Win7 64 bit repair disc that I burned using my laptop.

    However, it does not recognize the operating system or any image or restore points (because it is 64-bit) but he will be responsible for command prompt.

    To * guest *, I can launch Notepad and when I click on file / open and double click on computer it shows 4 Hard drives as follows:
    Local disc (c :))
    Data (d :)) 42 GB free of 54.5 GB
    WinRE (e :)) 1.11 GB free of 1.46 GB)
    Boot (x :)) 29.0 MB of free space of 31.5 MB (which is used by the repair disk)

    So the C: drive is listed, but without ability.

    * CHKDSK *.
    CHKDSK c: /r and press return

    «The type of the file system is NTFS.»
    Unable to determine the status and version of the volume. CHKDSK is abandoned.

    3 P HPFS - NTFS 7477 118 2 14592 190 62 114307072 (data)

    * = Primary bootable
    When you perform a quick search, then P - list of files, the second partition it reports:

    This product key and sticker on it's just proof that you purchased the machine with an operating system preinstalled and legal active OS version. This key belongs to original OS (recovery image) that you got with your laptop and it is not a kind of universal key that you can use for the activation of the operating system if you have made the decision to install the clean version of the OS.

    In General, this key is totally useless. While your computer you've got legal copy and this version, that you can install so often desired. It must not be enabled.

  • Re: Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X - how to access the recovery partition?

    Hello

    I've formatted Windows 7 with a Windows XP CD but did not setup. I wanted to know how to access the recovery partition to set it by default, everything exists on the laptop right now is Ubuntu, but I don't know, I saw an additional partition that must contain recovery files as laptop did not come with a recovery disk and unfortunately did not create a filter.

    How can I access the recovery partition on the laptop having in mind, I formatted the drive Windows 7 was installed on or should I activate or something like that?

    Any help much appreciated

    Hey,.

    On the second partition of your laptop (data partition), you will find a folder named HDDrecovery and it contains recovery files. The problem is that you can use the HARD drive only with the pre-installed operating system recovery feature. It would mean in your case it s too late now and it s not in use anymore.

    You have created the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the user manual? If Yes, you can use this disk to restore to factory settings. Just boot from this CD and follow the instructions on the screen.

    If you don t have the recovery disc, you can order it here:

  • Save the "recovery partition".

    OK, I write in here as laptop has Vista on it right now, but I want to get rid and move to 7, however before I I want to save the "recovery partition" just in case where for some reason, I want to reset it to factory default.
    Now restart on Vista and using various boot disks I see I have 3 left
    * WinRE (f :)) 1.4 GB)
    * Vista (c :)) 116.2 GB)
    * Data (d :)) 115.1 GB)
    All NTFS incidentally.

    I guess I should save F disc as it is labeled WinRE and there is 3 files, these being 'archive_db' which has a file in there called 'arcdir', 2nd folder called 'sources' and there is a file called 'boot.win' and it is 203MB in size, more we also have the usual System Volume Information folder and finally in the root of the drive F We have a file called boot.sdi file, it is drive F.

    Also, I guess I have to back up a D drive folder as this file is called "HDDRecovery" here, you have 3 files at the root level that are called 'HDDRecovery.tag/ReadMe.html and Toshiba.jpg' and 3 additional folders called "ODDFiles/OriSetenv/swing".

    What I want to do is to save EVERYTHING that is necessary for each DVD or external drive, including the partition information then erase the entire disc or all scores, then start to put Win7, saying I want to make my own kind of recovery partition in an ideal world using option F8 to bring up some sort of option menu reinstall 7 or otherwise I'll just take a picture and then hide this partition of Nosy gits.

    So any advice is more then welcome and if you need more info from me only.

    Hello

    I fear that save only partitions will not help you m.

    The partition contains the image of Toshiba files that use by the Toshiba recovery disc Creator who creates a recovery disk. In addition, the image on another partition files can be used to perform a procedure of recovery of HARD drive, but I n t think that this option is available if you need to run a clean install.

    So if you want to set the laptop back to the settings the factory (in the future) then I advise to use a recovery disc.
    These discs can be created using the recovery disc creator software as mentioned at the beginning

  • G62 - support of recovery with the recovery partition

    Hi all

    I have looked around a bit and can not find specific answers for the problem I have, so I was wondering if anyone here has experience... basically, I'm trying to create recovery DVDs because I want to get rid of the recovery partition (I want to dual-boot with ubuntu but the HP creates a mess of the sheets for a reason any) and it does not burn. 5 DVD so far were ruined because it seems to burn about 0.000001% of the disk then spit it out. The DVD in question are of poor quality DVD-r. I could understand if they were RWs or some off-the-back-of-a-lorry blank DVDs, but they are decent, as it confuses me... especially since I'm as talks about data backup using Explorer standard windows 7 burning thingy, and it burns the DVD with no problems whatsoever

    But anyway, as I'm not sure that anyone can help me getting unruly software to accept these DVDs, my plan is to install ubuntu on a dual boot with windows 7, which should be easy to do, but I need to get rid of this partition to do (or I would have preferred to do this way). I would like to point out that HP_TOOLS I saved already, as she was pretty * beep * small. So I was wondering:

    (1) what exactly is IN the recovery partition?

    (2) if it's just windows 7 drivers and some HP bloatware, that's fine (I could certainly do without the latter), but is there something special that, if deleted and unsaved, will make this laptop unusable entirely [n. b. [I have another copy of windows 7, so I'm not too worried about it]?

    Thanks for reading, hope it wasn't too much of a tl; Dr.!

    Hello

    You are right that the recovery Partition contains only the files to reinstall Windows, all the drivers and all the software that was originally shipped with your laptop - deleting it will not affect not Notepad in any way other than you would be able to reinstall the OS using Recovery Manager.  You can always order a set of replacement of these disks at a later date if you find that you need - there is a small charge for this.

    Regarding the creation of a set of recovery discs, usually I had more luck with the DVD + r - as it may be useful to start safe mode and try to create them as this can sometimes help.

    Kind regards

  • How to delete files on the recovery disk?

    I'm running out of space on my recovery disk.  I noticed that the compress and the index of the boxes are both checked.
    I would like to know what to do and how to delete files on the recovery drive.

    Thank you for your help.

    It is very unwise to delete these files, because it is your ONLY way to recover your PC in the event of catastrophic problem with the operating system that cannot be repaired by returning your PC to set up "out of the box.  In fact, most of the PC with a recovery partition you cannot save data on that partition.  If you are still determined to do the easiest to remove these data is boot safe mode with command prompt.  Set up the focus on the recovery partition and delete everything form the command line.  I'm not trying to be insulting, but if you don't know how to do that you probably shouldn't be remove your data from the recovery Partition because without falling back on you should have to be pretty savvy to reload Vista and install all the drivers on your own.  Locutys of Borg

  • Rebuild the recovery partition

    Hi all

    Since my macbook pro in construction since a backup time machine, I have no recovery partition. Not sure if the recovery of time machine is the cause, or that the guy who has this laptop (work) in front of me he erased accidentally.

    I tried to use the script of "Recovery Partition creator" on several occasions, but it did not work. It becomes very urgent to get the recovery as soon as I'm running into several issues that require me to have the partition:

    • Disk errors on my internal drive that requires a correction
    • Need to encrypt my hard drive
    • Try to resize my disk internal, so I can install El Captain next to my current OS X I just need to test before you lose access to the work of the features (earlier version cannot be installed as he does not like our proxy for example).

    Happy to go all the way to 'clean up' and then to retrieve locks of tiem machine, but no idea how to do things right :-(

    Any ideas?

    I feel that you are not the first user or 'owner' of the MBP.  If this is the case, I suggest the following:

    Back up all your data.

    Erase the HARD drive and start in the recovery of the Internet (OPTION-COMMAND-R) which will connect you to the Apple servers.  Following the directions, you will be able to erase the HARD drive and install the original OSX the MBP came with.  The recovery partition must be created.  (I guess that the MBP is a 2011 late model or newer).

    Install a more recent OSX (as appropriate).

    Reinstall your user data.

    Ciao.

  • Can I change the drive letter of the recovery partition?

    HP P7-1235, Win7 64 bit running. 1 TB HARD DRIVE

    I usually partition my hard drive, so that my data is separate from the operating system and applications.  the operating system is the C: partition, and my data is generally D:.  The problem is: "D:" is used by the recovery partition.

    I can change his letter to something else, and recovery still works?

    Hello

    Well, everything has been said on this subject and its okay.

    It's better to not touch the D: partition, set another letter to your other partiion, if you change the recovery partition, you won't be able to use it.

    But you can also do a thing, you can go ahead and create your copy of the recovery disks, just enter some DVD, create your copy of the recovery Image, then you can change the drive letter of the partition Recovery to E: or even delete that.

    A copy of records RRS, you can always use them to again state of the plant, and that will reformat all your partitions, create the recovery disks and do what you want and prefer with you D: partiion.

    Thank you
