dv7-3180us: recovery Partition

I just installed a Crucial SSD of MX100 using Acronis True Image cloning. I get now repeated messages saying I have 0% free space on RECOVERY (D.) I used the Windows Disk Manager to shrink the C: drive and created 10 GB of unallocated space, but it does not expand the D: drive with this unallocated space. How to extend the partition D: RECOVERY?

You do not have without major effort. You can only extend to the right, not the left of the disk management console. You can use a Paragon Partition Manager boot disk or such and move the recovery partition to the left for the free space that you created now, but it's not easy. You can simply disable the annoying message by removing the recovery partition drive letter.

Since you will not add to or remove from the recovery partition just let it without a drive letter that you want to use. I would also do the Recovery Manager recovery DVDs and you can even remove the recovery partition.

  • Uninstalling windows 8 on the dv7-3180US

    Hello, I installed Win 8 Pro on my dv7-3180US. I was informed that I should uninstall Win 8 that HP can't win on my dv7-3180US 8.

    How can I uninstall Windows 8 so I can come back to Win 7.

    Can I recreate the image on the hard drive and return to the original factory software and drivers that was delivered to me?

    How do I do that? I can load any other software.

    Hello:

    If you do not remove the recovery partition, you can try a factory reset.

    I doubt it will work, but you have nothing to lose by trying.

    Please see the link below for more information.

  • error 0xC0000225, recovery partition does not start

    Hello

    I have a HP dv7 with Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.

    A few months ago, I did a factory restore, the recovery partition start (I have no recovery disks). After that, I thought to divide my C: partition where Windows is installed, and I did it with Windows disk management.

    So my new scores were: C: D: with recovery, OS, E: HP_Tools and g.: the new partition.

    A few days ago the sistem ran very hard, so I thought I do another factory restore from the recovery partition. When I rebooted and you press F11, I got the "0xc0000225 error".

    I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit bootable drive and I tried Startup Repair tool and other repairs of sistem, checks HDD, but everything seems to be ok.

    I reinstalled the operating system, from the disk bootable on C: (OS starts and works well) and let the other partitions as they were... but it seems that the recovery partition still does not start if I can do a restore from the factory with all the drivers and utilities, as they were at the beginning.

    Any ideas on how I can do?

    Thank you!

    It seemed that it there was not much I could do about this problem. My disk is dynamic, there is no Recovery Manager from the Start Menu, there has not been any creation of HP with HP folder recovery support. I managed somehow to make a repair disk, I tried it but no results, the error kept popping out every time.

    I inserted the Windows 7 disc to try to delete all partitions, including the recovery and HP-tools and do a Windows Installer Cleanup, but the Format, New and Delete buttons are inactive.

    I did some scans disk and memory tests, everything was ok... I started with a disc of Hiren and accesed the HARD drive with a program based on linux and so I managed to delete the partitions.

    After I installed a new copy of Windows 7 to work with my SN and everything was ok. Unfortunately I lost partitions recovery and HP-tools, but at least it works well again.

    Thanks for your all your support.

  • HP recovery partition and dynamic disk!

    Just got my new laptop and added a partition of my HP pavilion dv7 WIN 7 64 bit and noticed disc was dynamic. I don't know if it changed the dynamics or as it was delivered. I'll always be able to use the recovery on the dynamic disk partition? And if I create recovery discs, they will work on the dynamic disk or will it convert back to base?

    It can work with Easus software, but I'm sure that you need to remove this extra partition before conversion back is possible.

    If you need an extra partition, look HERE page on the use of the recovery partition or delete to free up hard disk to create a new partition without conversion by burning a resumption of course the value of dynamic_after.

  • Pavilion 6b50ei: try to factory reset but the recovery partition/drives created are defective

    I have a pavilion dv7-6b50ei notebook pc purchased 2012. He always gives a command prompt pop up who don't stay long enough to read. I felt too there is a virus on it that my anti-virus did not solve so I tried the factory reset, but when I restart and press F11 it gives an error (something like a boot... is missing). so I tried my recovery disks. CD 1 of 4 ran fine but disk 2 continues to stop with an error. Now, the laptop will not charge because I think that the operating system was formatted during the recovery and do not know what to do. I feel disc 2 is bad too because he also gave an error trying to copy on a USB key. I also tried an external dvd and run the hp hard disk test; the hard drive passed the test. If I can get a new set of recovery discs, it would solve my problem. In addition, I look forward to ideas. Help, please.

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can still read all the key character product activation 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    It is general information about what to and what not to do with a recovery Partition:

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    It's F11 for a HP machine

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    It shows you how to build links in this HP:

  • Windows 7 recovery partition and Hp

    Hello! I have a Hp pavilion dv7 with a recovery partition. IM currently on family vista premium, but if I buy windows 7, the installation will remove the vista recovery partition? If so, what can I do to keep it?

    (And if I buy 7, it is possible to descend the slope to vista?)

    Please answer!

    1. When you install W7 that does not alter the recovery partition, unless you choose to do so.

    2 burn your recovery DVD set before moving to Win 7. then it's a matter of booting from them to reinstall Vista, if you want.

  • In Windows 7 64 bit can drive letter D be removed safely to a HP recovery partition which is full?

    My drive C partition has a lot of space, but the recovery drive D partition shows red/almost complete.  My computer is a HP dv7 laptop running Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition.

    Occasionally, I get annoying warnings in order to free space on recovery drive D.  I know that the D drive is important and not did something for her.

    A previous post of Microsoft MVP said remove the recovery Partition letter D would take care of the problem without affecting, or withdrawing, D recovery drive data.

    However, while following its not recommended, it is a warning about the programs potentially does not work properly. I cancelled the process without continuing.  Other posts in this thread mentioned will come with the removal of the letter ends not "power" with a red 'X'

    I have both a bootable HP recovery disk and a Windows recovery disk for this computer in the case of a hard disk failure, as well as frequent backups and Images of disks of the computer for the whole system.

    I'm sure woud like to get rid of these warnings of boring.  Thanks for any advice.

    Backup Windows, as with all utilitiies of backup, looking for the next after C drive letter because it is not a good idea to save anything on the main drive.

    What Windows backup or any other backup utility does NOT do is check if the disk with the following letter is a suitable place for file backups.

    To locate and remove the backup of Windows files, search for *.bkf and then delete them.

    Backups must be stored in the external media that can be isolated from the host system when the not required. Preferred to use an external USB disk. You can get one of them before deleting the files bkf in D... :-)

    Ran 10.11.6 combination update, still do not update to recovery partition.

    What should I do to get my recovery partition in harmony with my primary OS version?

    Thank you!

  • 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.

  • Cannot turn on FileVault 2: "some disc formats do not support the recovery partition" version of the OS - 10.11.4

    Hello

    I went to turn on FileVault encryption for the first time, and when I click on restart (by FileVault guests) I got a error message that says "FileVault can not be enabled for the drive. Some disc formats do not support the required encryption recovery partition. To use encryption, reinstall this version of Mac OS x on a reformatted drive. »

    I found an article from apple support for this problem with El Capitan who recommended first aid running in disk utility.  I tried this but then received the same error message.

    a little history:

    -Mac OS 10.11.4 installed running on the brand/model ADATA SP 550 SSD

    -This SSD is a 250 GB drive partitioned into two, with one of these partitions being my OS

    -J' ran this BONE of a Bay external thunderbolt

    -ssd is formatted as HFS journaling +.

    I am really confused about this error message and couldn't find much online about it.  I use a fairly recent OS install.  I installed the operating system clean and made all my preferences and install so that I can encrypt and then back up this pristine OS environment in time machine so that I could always go back to it on the line in case where things are bunk too upward.  I'd have to install yet another OS to clean and do all my long software installs and system preferences settings... SIP.  I don't know if that makes a difference, but this version of the OS that I have been cloned by superduper to this SSD partition.

    What is the brand of SSD that I?  Might that matter?  I appreciate all the comments.  I'm really scratching my head...

    Thank you very much

    To enable FileVault, you need a recovery partition, which you don't have. You can create one by reinstalling OS X.

    If you do not already have a current backup, please backup all data, and then reinstall the OS. * you don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need the backup unless something is wrong. If the system has been upgraded an earlier version of Mac OS X, you may need to the Apple ID and password to use.

    There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

    If you installed the runtime Java distributed by Apple, and still need, you will need to reinstall it. It goes the same for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.

    Related support article refers to OS X 10.11 ("El Capitan"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions.
