Deleted partition BOOTCAMP capacity entered Recovery HD

I am facing a weird problem and it is honestly driving me crazy!

I had a partition bootcamp (80 GB) with Windows 7 installed for a while. Then I tried to delete this partition using Bootcamp Assistant of Apple, but I have encountered an error and was not able to do. So I decided to start in Recovery Mode, formatted the BOOTCAMP partition in the hope that I would be more able to merge with my Macintosh HD one.

I managed to do it, which means that I then had Macintosh HD on one side and a BOOTCAMP partition go 80 empty on the other.

However, something was not trying to group them together and for some reason, I now have a capacity of 420 GB displayed on Macintosh HD (same as before), no BOOTCAMP partition remain always displayed and order diskutil list showing me 80 GB for Apple Recovery HD (which correspond to my initial BOOTCAMP capability):

~ diskutil list

/ dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

#: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 500,3 disk0

1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 419,4 GB disk0s2

3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 80.5 GB disk0s3

When I run the option first aid in Apple SSD disk utility, I get the following:

My only wish is to be able to recover my full 500 GB on Macintosh HD for later use bootcamp again and install Windows 10.

Looking forward to any kind of help,

Thank you in advance.

Save all your data, preferably twice and independent from each other. Format the drive and reinstall the OS from scratch and restore your data. Alternatively, if you are comfortable using the command line this syntax comes into play:

diskutil resizeVolume peripheral [ limits |] MapSize | R | size [numberOfPartitions]

[part1Format part1Name part1Size part2Format part2Name

part2Size part3Format part3Name part3Size...] ]

No destructive resize a volume (partition); You can

increase or decrease its size. On the other hand, takes no action

and print some info.

A size of the limits takes no action, but instead will print the

target range of valid values for the score, taking into

conditions account file system and partition from the current map

as files used and other partitions (buildings) following the

target.

A size of mapsize takes no action, but instead will print the

size of the device disc set covering, as well as the

map of entire partition size (all partitions less map

(overhead). The whole-disk device may be larger than the by -.

competition card if the entire disk device has increased since the party-

tion map was created. More a whole-disk device is possible

with some drives (RAID) business systems.

You can grow a volume (partition) (back) to its maximum size

possible, provided no new partitions have been created, which

are in the way, by specifying R for the new size of the volume. You

must use R instead of trying a value such as

100% because the latter cannot count fresh generals score card.

To decrease the size, new partitions may be

created to fill the recently released space.  To do this, specify

the numberOfPartitions, format, name, and size settings in

the same way as the description of triplet for the

partitionDisk verb.

Resize a volume that is currently defined as the computer

Startup disk will invalidate this setting; use the Startup

Disc Bless or system preferences panel (8) to reset the

resized volume as the boot disk.

Device refers to a volume; file system of the volume must be

logging HFS +.  Valid sizes are a number followed by a capital

Letter from Tal multiplier or percent sign suffix as described in

the section SIZES at the end of this page (e.g. 1-5 t, 128 M,

50%).  Property of the disc is needed.

  • Reclaim free space after deleting Partition Bootcamp

    After installing a new SSD and gives back to the top of time Machine, I deleted my Bootcamp partition on my MBP using Boot Camp Assistant.

    See below for my disk utility:

    Hello waynetay,

    Thank you for being part of the community of Apple!

    Looks like you want to recover the hard disk space that has been used by Bootcamp.  I know how critical disk hard space is, as I understand it want to access it.

    The Boot Camp Assistant should have added space on the side of Mac OS X from the hard drive when it has been used to remove Windows.  Since that didn't happen, you need to back up the system, and then erase the hard drive, then restore the backup.

    First, back up the computer.  Your computer has software called Time Machine.  It is a fantastic software for backing up your computer.  Information on how to use Time Machine is available here:

    Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

    Once you have the backup, you must erase the drive and then restore the backup Time Machine.

    You can use these measures to erase files on your startup drive and install a fresh copy of OS X:

    1. Before you begin, make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
    2. Restart your Mac. Immediately hold down the command (⌘) keys and R after having heard the startup sound to boot into OS X Recovery.
    3. When the recovery window, select disk utility, then click on continue.
    4. Select the volume name back from your startup disk in the left side of the disk utility window, then click Delete.
    5. If you want to erase the disc safely, click Security Options. Select an erasing method, and then click OK.
    6. On the Format menu, choose Mac OS extended (journaled). Type a name for your drive, and then click clear.
    7. After that the drive is deleted, close the disk utility window.
    8. If you are not connected to the Internet, select a network in the Wi-Fi menu.
    9. Select the option to reinstall OS X.
    10. Click on continue and follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall OS X.

    Once OS X installation is complete, you should have the option to restore from a backup Time Machine in the first installation of OS X.  Choose this option, and the computer will restore everything that was on it before it has been removed.  More information can be found here:

  • Question about deleting partition 'Recovery '...

    Thanks to all who read this post.

    What I want to ask that it is on the deletion of "Recovery" partition and merge it with the system. I was thinking of doing this tonight:

    1. - create the recovery on three DVD-L single discs layers HP brand DVD.

    2. - I hope that I will be able to enter certain partition management application and with this OS 'Merge' partition disks and a recovery in one big partition.

    3 - reinstall completely default OS and software in this one big partition.

    4 - be happy using every inch of space from my hard drive.

    Well now that I was dreaming and that is why I came here my friends HP colleagues to ask you, if I do the foregoing, things will be good? I mean I'm missing something?

    Please advice me, someone must have tried that before...

    Thank you!

    After your set, recovery disk use the procedure HERE to delete the partition. However_if you use recovery reinstall the value will just re-create the recovery partition and reinstall Windows, forcing them to repeat the deletion process.

    Thank you

    I don't know why your PC is saying your partition disappeared - you're right, it seems to be missing. I know that if you use the wizard to help to make your recovery disks backup copies and then ask him to remove the recovery partition to give you more space on the hard drive, it will remove the factory image HP of Windows 8 for the recovery partition and let the normal Windows repair tools.

    There are tools, but which allow you to create your own recovery partition full with these tools of Windows repair and a new image of your instalation so that you can restore from that. You can use this tool: Windows 7/8 - creator of Partition Recovery OEM available here: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/21978-Windows-7-8-OEM-Recovery-Partition-Creator but it's a lot of work and it would be faster and more easy just for your data backup and restoration of your HP recovery disks made you from the support Assistant. If you did not the disks, HP can opt to send you a copy... they do not normally this but I read that some people have luck to get a free copy of HP media... otherwise, they want you to buy recovery disks ($40.00). I guess it depends on the exact terms of your situation.

    An alternative is to use Macrium Reflect Free Edition to ghost or clone your system. You can then restore your entire system even with your custom programs installed, to the exact state it was when you made the backup image. (this may take several dvd) I suggest that you go down that road because your system with Macrium Reflect restore is much faster than restoring from the HP recovery discs. Even if you do not get another copy recovery disks, you must use this tool to make another backup that you can customize to your liking. Your re - installs will be faster, they will already have your chosen installed software, and you will save wear on your HP recovery disks.  You can then delete the recovery partition to regain this space on your hard drive (since you cannot access in all cases, you will not need this space being taken up).  BUT... you cannot restore Mode UEFI which is what HP comes with. You have to go into your Bios settings and switch in the Legacy Bios mode (which disables the secure boot) FIRST or else the Macruim recovery boot disk will not load to install the recovery image. After the system re - installs you can go back into the bios settings and disable bios Legacy and reactivate if secure boot you want. (Windows 8 charge mode UEFI bios active secure boot or Legacy mode... it's your choice.) UEFI mode will load faster, but it will cause problems if you want double boot the system with another OS) hope this helps.

  • Wizard BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

    How is it assistant BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

    This has two questions:

    1 capacity of SSDS faster for Fusion drive has been reduced. Therefore less effective for the reader of the merger. For example if I need to create a partition of 80G for my windows bootcamp partition, only 48 G will be left in the drive of the merger.

    2. ability of the bootcamp windows partition becomes very limited, cannot be greater than 120 G.

    3. even when I try to fuse out of the drive of fusion in the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD disk, and then run the BootCamp assistant to create the bootcamp partition start from scratch to reinstall El Capitan only on the HARD drive (without drive Fusion), it won't let me do anything, it just shows an error that says something like "a person has created additional partitions on this drive please select. another disc. But there is nothing else to choose.

    Before my (5 K, 27 inches, end of 2014 retina) to El Capitan Yosemite, I was able to use the previous version of the wizard BootCamp 5.x to create the partition, bootcamp on the drive of the merger. And it will be divided in the fuser unit in two and insert the Bootcamp partition (with the size I chose, which can go up to 1 TB) between two partitions of MAC OSX.

    The disk partitions resulting from it, will be the partition MAC OS x on the SSD, the partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #1, partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #3.

    Then there is the BootCamp partition on the HARD drive partition #2.

    Is there a way to get what I need?

    That is what has been described in this notice of two canoes?

    Installation of Windows on a Boot Camp partition on a drive of TB Fusion 3

    Thank you.

    After having worked on those weeks, I realized that I need very painfully (by first going back to Yosemite and bootcamp 5 to escape all the limitations of El Capitan and BootCamp 6) I want to share here. Someone at - it other smarter solutions welcome.

    Note these steps and mentioned drivers only work for my version of iMAC, retina 5K late 2014. If you have other material, please search on the web to see which driver will work first. And all of these steps are destructive and assumed that you first take backup. It is only shared for interest only. Readers will have to bear your own risk.

    A. take backup

    1. take a backup completes my iMac Fusion Drive using Time Machine. Then restart with a Yosemite USB installation and select Terminal from the menu on the top bar.

    B. fuse out of the merger in two physical disks drive: SSD + HDD

    1. in the terminal, type the commands in show what the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the disc fusion)

    Cs diskutil list

    2. in the terminal, type commands for the fuse of the fuser unit and separate them to an SSD and a HARD drive.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the drive of the merger. There are many articles in this community on how this could be done,

    diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

    CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

    This should finish within 30 minutes. If you have taken more time, this means that your reader of fusion has been altered somehow.

    I hit this issue too.  To use this command to remove the fusion drive hung up, and I need to do the hard to scramble a few sections of data in the hard disk partition table using the controls to tell the OSX this hard drive is a new without partitions:

    Cat >/dev/random /dev/disk0 (where/dev/disk0 is the SSD)

    and repeat for disk1/dev/disk1 which is the HARD drive in my case).

    This command will not return anything, but expect to press Ctrl-Z to end after 1 minute.

    2 create independent partitions (non-fusionend) for the installation of OSX.

    Borne Terminal output, and select disk utility, in disk utility, select the drive to HARD disk (and not on the partition), you will see the error message and you will be asked if you want to fix the fuser unit, click on ignore. Then wipe the HARD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"HARD drive".

    3. Repeat step 2, and then erase the SSD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"SSD ".

    C. install on the HARD disk as drive didier autonomous not fusion.

    1. go to Yosemite install screen and proceed with the installation of a clean copy of Yosemite to the iMAC. then connect you.

    D. use BootCamp Yosemite f5 to install windows.

    1. launch Yosemite bootcamp.

    2. check the two checkboxes for creating the USB drive to install windows 7 or a later version, and to download the windows supports the Apple software.  Do not click on the last box to install or remove windows pie creating real bootcamp partition again.

    3. it may take several hours to complete this function of your internet b/w and also performance of your USB drive.

    4. If you install Windows 7 (like me), then the downloaded drivers will not work for you, this will cause the issue of the device driver appleDSS.sys does not like this driver and others are too recent for windows 7 to use.  Also, your keyboard and mouse may not work even if you try to plug in a USB external keyboard or a mouse. You need to replace the drivers downloaded by others (the Boot Camp 5.1.5769 drivers that I find in this link: Software Support of Boot Camp 5.1.5769.) (Note: this driver is material specific only works for my iMAC model).  Once you have downloaded it, copy the two files in the root directory of the USB installation to replace the original ones. It's specific and material available for download somewhere on the Apple Site.

    -From the Finder, delete the $WinPE$ and the Boot Camp of the FLASH PLAYER files.

    -Expand the old drivers for Boot Camp 5.1.5769 (two records and another file) on your desktop.

    -Copy the $WinPE$ and records of Boot Camp in the FLASH PLAYER.

    5. open Boot Camp Assistant again and only select the third option, install Windows 7.

    It will show you the screen to select what installation disk, select HARD drive.

    Then drag the slide bar to select the size of the Bootcamp partition for windows you want, knowing that there is a restriction for windows installed using training camp on a MAC that the last byte of the BootCamp partition must reside in the first byte of the 2.2 T of each physical hard drive.

    For my case, I need only 500G for bootcamp and leaving behind 1.7 to for my MAC OSX partition immediately after the bootcamp partition and an another 0.8 T MAC OSX partition after him. 1.7 TB and the partition of MAC OS x 0.8 TB well exploited in the meantime bootcamp partition, will be merged into a fusion drive by Bootcamp. Thus, you will end up with total 2.5 TB of disk space in a logical drive - fuser.

    Go to this link for more details on this subject: n-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support/installing-windows-on-a-boot-camp-partitio

    6. continue the process to partition the hard drive, then it will restart automatically in windows installation mode, install windows.

    7. once the installation is complete, check that windows is functioning correctly.

    E. Si you want to upgrade to windows 10 Windows 7.

    1 if you plan to upgrade to windows 10, you'll find that the windows IE v.8 7 is no longer works and had many problems to load the page.  Then when you try to download the latest version of Internet Explorer, you get an error that you need at least windows 7 SP1 to support the last IE.  Life is too complicated, just download the google Chrome browser, then search for download windows 10 and then run the Microsoft valuation tool to upgrade.

    2 but before upgrade you, unplug all your MAC USB drives, otherwise, you will find that, after having spent an hour downloading the windows 10 software, the upgrade will fail with the error "/ dynamicupdate...» ». It is an inexplicable mistake that no one seems to understand why. There are articles with proven results that the removal of all USB drives before running the windows 10 upgrade tool will correct this problem.

    F. reinstall OSX El Capitan

    Once your target windows system (if windows 7, windows 8 or windows 10) works very well.  You can continue to create again your Fusion drive and reinstall OSX El Capitan.

    1. Insert the install of OSX Yosemite rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

    2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

    3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

    4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

    5. in the terminal, type the command 'diskutil list cs' and you should see nothing to prove that there are no existing fusion drive yet.

    6 type the 'diskutil list' command to list all disks and partitions.

    The SSD has two partitions, the/dev/disk0s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk0s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD around 121 G.

    The HARD drive has two partitions, the/dev/disk1s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk1s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD.

    2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

    3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

    4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

    5. in the terminal, type orders for (to show what are the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the logical drive). You should see the logical volume to basic storage group created using two partitions on the hard drive, 1.7 TB and TB 0.8 created when we run the Yosemite Bootcamp to install windows.

    Note: Mark the group id of logical volume shown in the results.

    In my case, I want to book the last partition as standalone partition disk1s5 no-fusionend, so I can use it to raise the back, or format it in FAT32 to allow the exchange of data between the MAC and boot camp.

    So, I do not understand this last partition in the drive of the merger. in my case, the command that I used is: diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2

    12. There will be a step in the installation ask you if you want to configure as a new computer, or restore from a time machine previous backup. Make your own choices it accordingly.

    13 once OSX El Capitan has been installed and you have finished restoring the data and custom configurations, you can enter the application of preferences to check if you see the icon of the "Startup" disk", and if you choose Startup BootCamp in the next reboot, you should be able to boot up to Windows without pressing and holding the button option when reboot and choose to start windows manually. Also, in windows, you should be able to click on the bootcamp Control Panel and select for a startup to OSX on the next reboot.

    14. one thing to be aware, if you install bootcamp in this way, the boot camp and the GUI utility disk in OSX El Capitan will not be able to adjust your settings. This means, if you need to touch anything or to readjust the size of the partition, you will need to do it again in step A. Alternatively, some how to get started with installing Mac OSX Yosemite USB, then adjust the partitions using similar commands shown in this article or other articles in this community.

    15. yet once please take personal responsibility on damage if you follow the instructions in this article.

  • Windows 8.1 with Bootcamp installed in El Capitan. Do not delete with Bootcamp so I used the disk utility. Now, Windows always tries to start with an error, the 'other' space illustrates.

    Long story short, I installed windows 8.1 using Bootcamp, went very well. I was just curious how it would go.

    in any case, tonight, I decided to delete the Windows partition (Bootcamp Partition), and I got an error in Bootcamp that says "sorry couldn't do Mac OS partition a new»

    With that I went to the disk utility and tried to partition the disk on a partition again, which it did, but now I have 40 GB of "other space". I literally have nothing stored on this computer, until I installed Windows 8.1 which was not there.

    Also, when I start it up I always get Windows start first if I do not hold Option, then it goes to the blue screen, obviously because he's not here.

    I started to recover, tried to fix it, verify, erase free space, etc.. I'm running a MacBook Pro 13 "128GB 2015.

    On a Mac of 2015, the disc is divided into a group of logical volumes and Volume for OS X, and a partition for Windows. If BCA fails to restore it correctly, the part of Windows do not get properly gathered in the LVG/LV. The other questions you have, it's that there are remnants of the Microsoft your EFI partition Boot code.

    To solve both, the easiest and safest method is

    1 backup OSX and all of your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

    2. boot into Internet recovery (CMD + Opt + R) - OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support .

    3. click on Utilties-> disk utility and erase your entire internal drive.

    4. restoration of OSX and your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

    This requires another external drive that can accommodate TM backup - backup disks that you can use with Time Machine - Apple Support .

  • Issue after you create the new partition, Bootcamp expansion

    Hello

    I hope someone can help with a problem I'm having.

    I found an old Apple discussion on how to resize a partition, bootcamp, by reducing the size of the OS X partition, then using a Windows based tool to then extend the Bootcamp partition. Big mistake! I'm done with the same problem as the creator of this thread with my Windows no longer bootable partition.

    I followed the steps described by lonely T, which worked perfectly! Thank you very much!

    Then, I went into Windows and use the Partition Mini tool to extend the Windows partition in the unallocated partition, which worked fine in Windows.

    However when I boot in OS X and open disk utility I see now 3 separate partitions. (1) mac HD. ((2) Untitled (the one I created) 3) Windows HD (Bootcamp). Then OS X is not recognizing that I extended the Windows HD partition in the Untitled one.

    Is there a way to solve this problem without ruining it now expanded Windows partition? Windows does not seem to see two separate partitions, only in OS X I downloaded GPT Fdisk

    Thanks in advance!

  • Removal of partition Bootcamp

    Can I delete my bootcamp on my Mac partition?

    If so, how and it will create problems for the rest of my HD?

    Did I lose something on the remaining HD?

    I will automatically receive the GB since the training camp on the rest of my HD?

    Thank you

    You must make the removal of the partition with the BootCamp Assistant and not with disk utility.

  • Deleted partition HP_Tools, upgrade to Windows 8

    I have upgraded to Windows 8 Enterprise edition, with the hope of just checking out and returning to Windows 7 when the trial is up. Well, after an iso disk and installing Windows 8, I noticed that I had deleted the partition HP_Tools...

    I need this partition to use for recovery.

    Note that I made a disc of recovery using Hp Recovery Manager, when I bought my laptop but now Hp Recovery Manager is gone and I have a flash drive with unnecessary data (apparently). I downloaded and installed every update of the UEFI Bios, all the drivers for my laptop and the essensically it works PERFECTLY fine... but I can't use my recovery disk because I have no Hp Recovery Manager installed on my computer. When I tried I get the message "Softpaq not apply to the system, without HP Recovery Manager installed." I have Hp Recovery Manager NEED use my recovery disk.

    I will note that I did successfully a NEW partition of HP_Tools, but technically it contains no useful data, a few things from BIOS and others, but not HP Recovery Manager.

    Someone walk me through this please.

    Thank you. I also have a

    HP Pavilion g6-1a60us...

    I tried and failed to install ALL available software they had for my laptop, including the crappy stuff like Cyberlink webcam and other stuff but HP Recovery Manager, that's what I can't install

    ANY help would be GREATLY apprecited.

    You should not really Recovery Manager installed. USB flash recovery must be bootable and includes the Recovery Manager:

  • Shrink system partition and the HP recovery partition.

    HP Pavilion dv6560el notebook PC

    Windows Vista Home Premium (original OS pre-installed)

    I want to shrink the system (C partition to make room for a new partition (Z.))

    The new partition (Z will be used to store data.)

    The Windows Vista disk management utility, run as administrator (of course), seems unable to reduce the system (C partition ("Access denied" error), both in normal and safe mode.)

    The same failure by using the "DISKPART" utility via the Windows Vista command prompt (run as administrator, of course).

    In order to facilitate the task, is seems (surf the web) which is the procedure to follow:

    -start the computer pressing F8, then enter into the Windows recovery environment.

    -log in as an administrator (of course).

    -Open the Windows Recovery Environment command prompt.

    -use the "DISKPART" utility in the prompt command in the Windows recovery environment, to reduce the system partition.

    -Restart in normal mode.

    -log in as an administrator (of course).

    -create a new partition (Z using the space unallocated drive just obtained by reduction of the system (C partition.))

    -the new (Z partition will be created between the shrunken system (C partition and intact HP recovery (D partition.)))

    Two questions:

    1. the command "DISKPART shrink" work as expected, that is. It will actually decrease the system (C partition, if the "DISKPART" utility is run to the Windows recovery environment, rather than command prompt in Windows Vista itself?)

    2 will be the HP recovery (D partition still operate, IE. the recovery environment Windows will still be available by pressing F8 and still run it if run on the line, if a new (Z partition is placed between the system (C partition and intact HP recovery (D partition itself?))))

    Thanks in advance for the answers.

    You recovery partition is no longer using the F11 key at startup. Burn your DVD recovery set before changing the hard drive somehow.

  • Genuine Windows 7 on MacBook Pro running in the partition, BootCamp with VMware Fusion 3.1

    I'm having a problem with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

    I installed Windows 7 on my Bootcamp partition and until recently he worked well as well when I ran into VMWare Fusion.

    When I boot on my Windows 7 on Bootcamp partition, everything is OK.  But then when I run it in VMWare Fusion it says that my copy is not genuine.

    I just went through the automated phone system and entered the codes, and so now while I'm running Fusion Windows is genuine.

    I fear, however, that when I return to the execution of the partition, Bootcamp, Windows will say that is not true, once again.

    Only, I have a copy of Windows 7 and can only run from the VMWare Fusion or Bootcamp partition at any time.

    How can I fix it if Windows is more said that it is not authentic, when I switch from a training camp and VMWare Fusion?

    I need to be able to run Windows while I'm on the side of Mac at the same time

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you used the same Windows Installer Bootcamp, VMWare Fusion product key, there is the question.  You can only install and activate a 1 license of Windows 7.  The second installation requires own license that you can buy on the Microsoft Store. Carey Frisch

    Unfortunately, you can not recover the files from a deleted partition.

  • Question of Partition of hard drive recovery Vista

    I tried to repair my Vista OS using the recovery hard disk partition.  It did not work.  Instead, my laptop (dell inspiron 1545) continue to boot normally without doing a repair.  So I guess something is wrong with my operating system may not be able to access the recovery partition, or the recovery partition is corrupted.  If I do a complete vista reinstall with the OEM that came with my laptop disks, this recovery partition will always be there or it will disappear?  If it is there, I will be able to use it in the future to repair my computer if necessary, or will it be an empty recovery partition?

    Hello

    The recovery discs are back to exactly how you bought new

    The recovery Partition is not not to make repairs; It is to reinstall the operating system configuration (new State); do the same thing as the recovery disks.

    It's the opinion of Dell on how to use their Vista recovery Partition;

    "Restore your software Computer´s factory settings."

    http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&docid=DSN_336966&isLegacy=true

    Dell also has diagnostic software to solve computer problems:

    "How to run Dell 32-bit Diagnostics utility"

    http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?docid=52057

    And here's how to use the Dell recovery disks:

    Nornmally, you receive one or the other with a new laptop: disks or a recovery partition to make yourself recovery disks.
