Disk recovery and support

HP laptop computers come with a couple of additional readers for purposes of recovery and support.  I wonder if these discs actually need a letter drive attributed to them or if the drive letter can be changed.

Any comments greatly appreciated.

WD

Hi, WD.

Yes, the recovery partition is related to the drive letter.

Do not change the letter everything you see.

If you want to add a partition, I would assign it a drive past the last drive letter letter see you.

If you need to recover your operating system, back up anything on any partition you create, as the recovery process will fix the disk hard back to the configuration of the moose.

Some people find the hard way.

  • Ive just restored my laptop from the disk recovery, and commissioning I get an error 8007045 B code, anyone have any help? __

    think that it pretty much says it all in the title!

    Hi legar72,

    1. you have made a full recovery system on the laptop using the recovery disk?

    The error code - 8007045B is associated with failure to install.

    If you have used the system recovery disk provided by the laptop manufacturer to perform a system recovery.

    You will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more information about the installation failure.

    I hope this helps!

  • Hard disk recovery and replacement system

    I have a laptop of 1155 ca HDX 16 running Windows 7 ultimate (upgrade of Vista) pre-installed. I recently discovered a bad sector or several bad sectors on my hard drive using many tools of diagnistics. SMART info indicates 3 pending sectors. Also, the hard drive failed the test under BIOS self-diagnose. That my computer can cope with imminent hard drive failure, I would like to replace the hard drive. Is there any HHDs with greater storage space and higer RPM compatible with this laptop? In addition, I can't create a second set of recovery disks containg my current system and settings, how would I be able to recover my data/system and how can I back up all my files current?

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    You can use the backup and recovery of Windows 7 system to make a ghost image of your current content of the hard drive on a hard drive portable.  You will also need to make a bootable CD that will give you the opportunity to do so, to access the recovery files, and then reinstall your current configuration.

    However, if I were you, I would back up all files, music and photos separately I didn't want to lose, just in case the reinstallation fails.

    Although HP doesn't show any upgrades to your hard drive, I guess you'd be sure to install a 640 GB SATA 7200 RPM up to. It's a PC pretty modern.

    You can also be on the right side and order a set of recovery disc for your laptop. They will be for Vista, but you can then go ahead and reinstall W7.  A set of recovery disks normally costs about $16.00.

    Here is the link to the support page for your laptop.  Under the "Alerts for this product" section, you can click on the blue link indicating "how to order recovery disks.

    Hello

    _How to use the recovery disk? _
    That s pretty easy: insert the diskette and boot from it that s all!
    In addition, you will need to follow the instructions on the screen and make a few clicks, but that s really all!

    _How to save files? _
    First of all I m asking you ask for it. You didn't make a backup yet? What do you do if your HARD disk down the next morning?

    In any case, the Toshiba recovery disc erase your entire HARD drive. This means that you must back up your files to an additional disk. Everything on the drive HARD internal will be deleted.

    You don t want to use an external HARD drive? Why?

  • Had to reinstall issue of windows disk recovery and software

    Hi guys

    I hope I posted in the right forum

    A couple of days, I got a virus in police nasyt variant and so I had to reinstall windows from scratch

    Regretably my recovery disks that I made did not work properly so I had to pay a lot of money for windows 7 and made a new installation

    I put the software made available on this site on my laptop like dell webcam, roxio etc but my dell came installed with ms office and some other titles is it possible I can get it back without having to buy them?

    I also have a recovery now, but as its been formatted partition, there nothing to advice for the implementation of a new recovery partition

    Thanks for reading my question and your help is much appreciated

    Hello Haverespect,

    There are a few important things that I would like to share:

    All software delivered plant can be installed in my Dell downloads. You can find the software such as Roxio, Webcam Central, Acrobat Reader etc.  Please click here to follow the instructions on the screen.  My Dell download only works on Internet Explorer. You can also consult the frequently asked questions on my Dell downloads. However Microsoft Office Starter day lost cannot be re-installed as Dell maintains a copy of it.

    Once the operating system is reinstalled from disks, it removes the entire score and did a new install of the operating system. So the recovery partition is lost and recovery partition is lost, we can't get it back.

    Please write again for any other question.

  • Pavilion laptop DV4 disk recovery installation issue what would it be?

    I formatted my HARD drive using a bootable floppy to CD (Dariks Boot and Nuke) - who has written on the C and possibly partition D (HP Recovery)... Everything went well with that.

    HP DV4-1543sb

    Original operating system was Win 7

    Laptop 2 years

    1. I then inserted the factory purchased HP disk recovery and booted from it (2 discs and 1 extra drive in the game)
    2. Installation went well with disc 1 that it then prompted me to two disc I did. Subsequently requested the extra disk I inserted.
    3. Once it is installed, it restarted the PC automatically and then start configuring Windows 7 up or at least begun to load (Win 7 was also my original OS).
    4. Process is completed and it still rebooted itself.
    5. Laptop computer loaded a little Windows (an icon appeared) and then suddenly a message saying error has occurred could not finish loading Windows)- or something of this nature
    6. Tried to reinstall and got the same scenario.
    7. Once more I formatted the HARD drive with a full format which took 2 hours.
    8. All that above was repeated with the same results.

    Any suggestions?

    The BIOS may be corrupt and if yes, how can I install a fresh BIOS with no available Windows application.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I suggest to try the following workaround.

    If you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit is the exact retail version, you would need.

    If you do not access to the retail drives, you can create an installation disk yourself - just download good picture disc from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO on a CD blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key Windows located on the underside of your laptop when requested and when the installation is completeuse the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally delivered with OEM installations.

    Additional drivers, you may need to find from here.

  • System recovery disks do not support this computer

    Two weeks ago, crashed my HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 480 t hard drive model.  It is a 1.5 TB came with the PC.  I bought a WD 1 TB hard drive and installed.  When I used my recovery discs, I received a message, "the system recovery disks do not support this computer.  You are not able to restore this system with these discs. "Because I had never used these recovery discs, I assumed I had their damn so I bought authentic system recovery disks from HP.  Yesterday them - even received training as before.  I called HP tech support and I was told that those recovery disk works with a hard drive that is identical with the original hard drive.  Located between the two hard drives that the original HD had a 3 GB/s, and the new is 6 Gbps.  Is this correct?  They "graciously" offered replacing my new hard drive with a hard drive that works for only $180.  Seems a little steep, but I am confused.  Is system of technical recovery disks?  I would like another opinion.  If buying a new motherboard out me of this?  If someone knows a resolution to my situation, I would be very grateful.  Help!

    Hello

    In fact, you have more options that will avoid spending more in $$. The first thing I would try is the utility that provides HP. It is used for when the set of recovery disks does not work with a new hard drive. Follow the instructions of this web document.

    View your results. If the results are negative, we can install the operating system on your new hard drive with another method.

    What is the WD SATA drive model you purchased?

    Nice day.

    There is no command link.

    You must call (1-877-4-Lenovo) Support as has already been posted. They will confirm the model and serial number and should be able to advise you on your options. There may be a cost involved in the purchase of all recovery discs.

    Kind regards.

  • (Redirected) Support bootable recovery and restore

    My Dell Inspiron 660 Office PC crashed some time ago and I downloaded from the recovery and restoration of the media of the Dell Web site. However, the problem I have is that the media, I downloaded are not bootable, so I can't use it for a bootable USB or an installation DVD. Given that my office has crashed, I had to download media via my HP laptop, but if you follow the directions on the Dell Web site on how to convert the files to bootable recovery, it does not really help. The assumption that they have done is that you download the boot from a Dell computer media, but I obviously can't do since it's the machine from Dell that has crashed and is in need or repairs. So the question is; How can I get the no bootable media to be bootable so that I can fix my PC, I downloaded? It seems that the recovery hard disk partition has failed since running the startup repair does not work, or rather does not solve everything and the PC cannot always get in Windows. Can someone please?

    My wife has an i5 to 2.3 GHz MacBook Pro early 2011 and it worked like a slug.  Ran disk utility and verified that the disk needs repair using recovery HD.  What does this lead and what is the risk of losing all the data is there?

    Even if it is very slow, you must make a return upwards before the race "repair disk". The risk of data loss is minimal, but do it anyway: Save and run to repair the disk.

    As for what it implies - most of the time nothing more than simply sitting and waiting to do his thing.

  • IM always get "low disk space" and the backup file always fails and recovery D

    always get low D recovery and backup disk space the files always cleaning disc fails is no help either

    You are NOT supposed to file backups on ypur recovery Partition D.

    Your recovery partition D is implemented by the manufacturer of your computer in the event of serious problems in your system.
    You use it to restore your system.

    You are NOT supposed to touch it... to not add anything in it or remove anything from him.

    You call the manufacturer of the computer, tell them the situation...

    1. ask for a set of recovery DVD, if you don't have a game yourself. The game is essential to restore your computer in case where it breaks down, and you screwed up the recovery partition which is unusable for recovery.
    2. ask to talk to a technician. Ask the person how to remove backup files or elements that are NOT supposed to be there.
    They, the manufacturer of computer created the recovery partition, they know how to take care of it.
    Let them teach how you to.

    Buy an external hard drive and use it for backups of the file *.
