• Manager Windows 8.1 and the HP recovery disk manager cannot remove the recovery partition

  I have the following computer: HP ENVY h8 desktop PC - 1437c.  I used the HP Recovery application to do a recovery on a flash drive disk. When you have finished this operation it was not an option to remove the recovery partition (drive D on my computer. I tried to reopen the HP Recovery Manager and try to remove it like that, but to remove it is greyed out. I also tried to delete it using the 8.1 windows Disk Manager, but there is no way to do there either. If I right click on the recovery Partition, I get only an option 'help '. How can I get rid of this partition and recover lost space using it now on my hard drive. Windows and HP did not want to provide more records with their computers, but they do not have a problem of screwing of MY hard drive that I bought and paid for. I should start to charge rent for the space.

  I just used the software and created another partition as drive D using all unallocated space. I can delete probably once again, or maybe I'll just use it as a storage device for my files instead of recovering files sofetware... Thanks for the help

• Remove the recovery Partition

  Hi, this is my first post, I write because I have experienced a problem with a HP ultra-livre.

  I just bought a HP Folio 13. I burned the DVD with data recovery (using the "Create recovery media" button in the HP Recovery Manager) and I would like to delete the recovery of data stored in the secondary partition (as they occupy almost all of it) by the button "Delete the recovery Partition" in also HP Recovery Manager. What worries me is if I remove the recovery of data stored in the partition of my computer, (whenever I need them) can I restore from the DVD I burned? can you assure me that it will work, or there might be no problem doing this?  If not, what is the sense to display a button named "Delete the recovery Partition"?

  Looking forward to your kind response,

  Thank you very much

  Hello:

  In theory, the recovery discs that you do should work.

  In reality, this is not always the case.

  Please read these tales of woe on the link below (there are 324 pages of discussions) and decide for yourself what you want to do, because nobody would be able to make no assurance that your recovery disks will work.

• HP Pavilion x 360-13-s100nv: remove the recovery partitions

  Here the contents of disk management.

  Can I remove the two recovery partitions, since I'm not going to use this feature?

  (I have a full system image created with the tool Windows 10, registered in an external hard drive).

  geotso

  Yes, you can delete the partitions of recovery and reclaim the space.

  As for aid in the recovery of Win10, my opinion is that the integrated backup/restore solutions are unreliable, so I don't trust them.

  Instead, I have long relied on a third party solution known as Macrium reflect (MR).

  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
  
  I use all the time and it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make the backup of the image and at the same time or less do a restore.  In addition, MR has the ability to add a recovery Boot Menu entry.  This then allows you to boot into Windows re, and then you can use it to do a restore - when you cannot start Windows!
  
  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  Good luck

• HP 15-AB521TX: reinstalling Windows recovery media will remove the created partitions?

  I have a HP 15-AB521TX and as usual with all laptops, it comes with C: drive.

  I used a third party partition manager to create more than 3 partitions by deleting the space on the C drive, so now I have C, D (recovery), E, F and G,

  But somehow now I want to reinstall windows (using the recovery backup media (flash drive)) and I wanted to know if it will remove all the extra partition I created and delivered to a single drive C? Since I have data on other players, I don't want to do.

  Thank you very much.

  bsguru

  Unfortunately, the answer is YES - as the first action of the recovery feature is to reformat the entire disk to match the partition arrangement which was put there at the factory.

  So, BEFORE you do this, you must migrate off the partitions and the data you want to keep or restore.

  Good luck

• I how to remove the recovery partition and make the entire hard drive, a recovery partition?

  I have two hard drives and the two have a recovery partition. Disk 0 is disk 1 80 GB and 500 GB. I want to remove the recovery on both partition and drive 1 recovery partition. Disc 1 is much older, but I would have preferred free space on disk 0.

  The "recovery Partition" in question is not a thing of Microsoft.  Ask that ever created it (the manufacturer of your computer) which will probably help you not because it's beyond their desire to do so.

  I suggest you create / have external media and numbers of series/product key in another place course of the computer itself.

• 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.

• How to remove the local partition of storage and vmfs

  I have esx 3.5 on a 6 infrastructure hosts. Each host, in addition to other stuff, I have a 6 GB VMFS partition, "tied" to a local storage.

  I did not install, so I do not know the purpose of this partition, but there seems that it is not used, because it is empty.

  Now I need free space on the hosts to install monitorning of IBM tools, and I thought that it was preferable to have these installed NOT on the partition root.

  Since I have this 6 GB partition (hopefully) unused, I if I could remove the storage, delete the partition VFMS and create an EXT3 partition.

  But I do not know how... can someone tell me the exact procedure I should follow?

  Some information about my environment:

  the VMFS partition is sda3:

  Disk/dev/sda: 14.9 GB, 14999879680 bytes

  Heads of 64, 32 sectors/track, 14305 cylinders

  Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes

  Device boot start end blocks Id system

  / dev/sda1 * 1 100 102384 83 Linux

  / dev/sda2 101 5100 5120000 83 Linux

  / dev/sda6 12225 14206 2029552 83 Linux

  14207 14305 CF 101360 unknown sda7

  And I have this virtue/vmfs/volumes (ensv16oe:storage1 is the local storage, I want to delete):

  # ls

  48bedd8b-7fe7ff6e - 36 c 5-00215e2097b4 Datastore1

  48c5a420-0cc1aaee-6f30-00215e20951e Datastore2

  49aece6c-cbdd0d6c-5253-00215e20951e ensv16oe:storage1

  ensv16oe:storage1 is on vmhba1:4:0:3

  Thank you for your attention.

  The restart was not necessary also if fdisk say Yes.

  A different way has been to say the least the VMFS volume empty, change the type with fdisk, forcing a new analysis and verify that the data store is gone.

• Satellite L500-19 - remove the recovery partition and create new

  Hello!

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L500-19th with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). So far, everything is brilliant work.
  I have already created the recovery DVDs.
  As a result, could now delete the partition with the recovery program? I want to use the full space of my hard disk and create partitions as I want.
  But I don't know how I should do this?
  Could you please help me?

  Oxford

  If you are sure that the created recovery DVD is ok at 100%, you can delete all data on the second partition.
  Open Windows Explorer on the left side where is the second partition, click with the right button of the mouse and choose the FORMAT option.
  Choose the quick format option and click START.

  After a minute or two, all data will be gone.

  Please note: in the future when you want to use recovery DVD for installing Win7 the whole HARD disk is deleted and you will lose all your data.
  Using recovery DVD you can not format the C partition only.

• How to remove the USB partition?

  I have a 8 GB drive that I use for my photo frame digital flash. I deleted all the photos and reloaded the latest and once I put the USB in the photos only old framework that I thought I had deleted appears.

  I then discovered that the USB has a partition that contained the older photos. I deleted these but the USB will only display photos in the only sector that has very little space. How do I delete the partition or have the photo frame to recognize the other much larger partition?

  Please help if you can.

  Ugly

  It is easy enough to remove it. Right click on the USB key and choose Format. Everything will be formatted :)

• HP Envy Rove: Boot with MBR instead of EFI without removing the GPT partitions

  Hello

  I activated the Legacy Startup Mode in the Configuration of the UEFI and I would how I can give greater priority to the Legacy boot (boot MBR) vs the EFI Boot.

  I mean, how do I start using the MBR without destroying GPT partitions or files EFI?

  I don't have an option in the BIOS to select the 'priority '.

  I have the BIOS with the e.17 Rev.A (latest) firmware

  Thank you.

  Best regards

  Welcome to the HP Forums, it's a great place to get help, find answers and advice,
  Thanks for posting your request, I'll be more than happy to help you

  If I understand correctly you want to use the trunk legacy rather than the UEFI boot, before getting into the details, however,

  Here is the difference between Boot EFI and start-up of the legacy
  
  This is the process used by the firmware to find the target of starting:
  
  Legacy boot is used by the firmware BIOS boot process.
  The firmware keeps a list of installed storage devices can be bootable (Floppy Disk Drives, hard drives, optical drives, tape drives, etc.) and list them in a configurable priority. the POST procedure has finished, the firmware loads the first sector of each target of memory storage and it scans for a valid Master Boot Record (MBR). If a valid MBR is found, the firmware passes execution of code found in the MBR, bootloader that allows the user to select a partition to boot from. If we don't get, it proceeds to the following equipment in the boot order. If no MBR is found at all, the user is presented with the famous "Please insert system disk".
  
  UEFI boot is used by the UEFI firmware boot process.
  Firmware maintains a list of volumes of valid boot called EFI Service of Partitions. During the POST firmware procedure UEFI scans all bootable storage devices that are connected to the system for a valid GPT GUID Partition Table (). Unlike a MBR, a GPT does not contain a boot loader. The firmware itself scanning the closure for a score of Service EFI to boot from. If no boot EFI partition is found, the firmware can fall back on the boot of the legacy method. If boot UEFI and legacy boot fail, the famous "Insert system disk" will be presented.
  
  In general, the UEFI boot is more desirable.

  And if you want to know how to convert a GPT to MBR or convert MBR to GPT disk: click here (3rd party link - please ignore the ads).

  Let me know how that pans,.

• Re: Prepare for a clean installation of Windows 7. To remove the recovery partition?

  I do not know what do you mean under restore partition, but if your laptop comes with the recovery disk is no restore partition that can be used for any new OS install.
  All you Vista is Windows re, but has nothing to do with the recovery image.

  When you use the whole HARD disk Toshiba Recovery disk will be deleted. You can install any OS you want, but after using the recovery disk, you will lose everything.
