G62 - 219CA: possibility to backup/clone recovery Partition just before installing the new SSD?

I'm considering buying an SSD of 256 for my older G62 - 219 CA.

I can sort of back up or clone JUST the recovery partition, so when I install the new SSD I can put back them there and have this convenience for later use?

I can't close my b/c the entire hard drive SSD will be too small in relation to the original drive.

Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It is not really possible to save or to clone the recovery partition. Your best option is to create the support of HP recovery using the Recovery Manager or to order HP media to DVD - Windows 7 64B doublespeak (Office 2010) + Supp 1 Recovery Kit.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello-

    So for a while now, I get a blue screen randomly, popping up all the time and some time, who is going to "clear my physical memory" or something and then restart after like 30 seconds. I posted in the forums, once it all started and support told me to run tests and finally told me that my hard drive has been the reason for these constant errors. Then I backed up everything, in anticipation of a real accident.

    I'm about to order a new hard drive from Newegg.com, and I would like to know if it is difficult to replace a hard drive in a laptop, or if I should have Geek Squad do it for $50. In addition, I don't think I have the disk for the operating system that came with my computer, how do I order that HP and how much is it?

    And, last but not least, is there a message or a video with instructions on how to install a hard drive and operating system?

    Here is the hard drive Im currently looking, if could let me also know if this would be my laptop and if it's a good idea that would be great:

    Thank you very much.

    Perfect, now you can simply install the ssd and run drives. The optical drive in the BIOS as first boot and reboot, it will start the recovery without F11 etc...

    Yes, I actually prefer a clean install of Windows instead of using the recovery discs. This means a new pure system and I can not install anything (from HP or elsewhere), I want because applications such as HP Support Assistant do more harm than good. However, I always use the HP Wireless Assistant. Make sure you have saved all the necessary drivers (it is in a folder called SWSETUP) or at least you know which device is real and download the drivers later the site of home of HP laptop.

  • HP Recovery Manager - recover Windows 8 to new ssd

    Hello

    I want to build in an additional ssd to my desktop HP Pavilion 500-035ed. I bought the desktop computer with Windows 8 is installed.

    • can I connect volume c: to the new ssd?
    • will be d: partition (containing my data) stay in place?

    Disabling the drive HARD and then recover with the recovery HP for the SSD disks worked fine.

    Now upgraded to W8.1 and then I activate the HARD disk to make the data reader.

  • Cannot restore the backup of the image to the new SSD, said player is not connected

    Windows 7-64 bits, hardware upgrade of the HP DM1Z.

    I have a computer HP DM1Z. "Home Premium" Windows 7 64-bit (again, as in Feb)

    I decided to replace the current hard drive 320 GB WD with an Intel X 25 - M 80 GB SSD drive.
    Initially, I bought Acronis ' True Image ' to do the download of the OS (the computer has not much on since it's new).
    Computer problem closing occurred. A few times my attempts. Acronis has been unable to solve this problem. I cancelled the Acronis.
    Decided to call HP. I did a 'clone' on 4 DVDs via an external DVD burner.
    I swapped hard drives.
    At startup, I've indexed PF9 & got the "Recovery Manager". Keyed "Minimizes Image Recovery" to re - install the operating system. Progress was halted when a pop-up "target drive is not connected". I tried this same routine with "Recovery System", and the end result is the same.
    With "HP support", I keyed PF10 and did a diagnostic test. The new SSD worked. "HP support" indicates problem was probably the Windows 7 software.
    I had checked the Microsoft Web site, and the Intel X 25-M is compatible with Windows 7, 64 bit.
    What gives? Registry software is with the motherboard, I think. Replace large GGB to small GGB SSD hard drives seem to be no problems from what I've read. What solution can there be? What I need to re-purchase the retail of Windows 7 to replace the OEM Windows 7 to make it work? This is not good.
    would appreciate help from anyone in this case. Thank you.

  • When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

    Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

    Reinstalled the operating system, destructive, with SE recovery disks. The recovery partition has not been installed. Any comment as to the reason would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello

    No, your brand auto recovery pricing won't recreate the recovery partition. If you want to re-create the recovery partition, you need a set of HP to perform the factory restore.

    Self made pricing factory restore will only effect C: partition

  • Disk space low recovery partition - how to stop the useless error messge?

    I get the disk space error message off to a recovery partition. (Drive D)

    Yes - the partition is full, but I'm never going to delete files from it. NEVER!

    How to make the error message not pop for this partition? It's boring. And it keeps popping up again and again.

    OK - I realized for me how to disable the error message - but this disables it for all readers is not a satisfactory long-term solution.

    1. click on the icon of the little triangle that represents the hidden icons
    2. click on customize
    3. find the icon of the disk space low Windows explore and change it to "Hide icon and notifications".

    It sounds like this works - it should - but I noticed that EVERY TIME is to watch the Customization screen, it automatically returns to the default value and you have to change it again.

    But - this is a TEMPORARY AND UNSATISFACTORY solution because...
    a. it turns notification for all readers - not only the recovery one.
    b. it does not disable waste clock cycles used for control of the car - this is what is needed - an option to DISABLE them searching for a specific disk/partition.

    Thank you

    Message was edited: the name of the template has been added

    As simple as that.
    If you remove the HARD drive partition, you can not use HARD drive recovery option.
    This means that you only have a possibility to install the system; you do it with the help of a support.
    If you have not created the recovery disc in the past, you can order one from here:

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can use the recovery CD to create two partitions, but before do you these record all the data because the whole HARD disk will be formatted prior to installation. If you want to do this without reinstalling the operating system persistence, use Partition magic software. It is very powerful tool.

    Don t forget to install the boot manager that allows you to choose which operating system you want to use.

  • Logical disk partition not recognized in the New Installation of Windows

    Hello.  I would appreciate someone to give me any advice.  I don't know if the problem I encounter is an oversight on my part, but it was not something that I anticipated.

    To give a bit of background, until last week, I was running a Windows 7 system on my computer which included three hard drives (4 TB, 2 TB, and a smaller disk).  The 4 TB drive included my boot drive with Windows on a partition of 2 TB and then the unallocated space has been transformed into a new partition in disk management, received the drive letter G and was used for long term backup of data.

    Since then, I built a new computer and installed a new version of Windows 7 on a small SSD.  During this process, I have not all disks connected to the machine (except the DVD player) so that there is no possibility of installation of Windows, do something for these readers I didn't (I got burned by this time long ago when you reinstall Windows 95, which makes me just feel old).  After the whole installation process was performed and the new version of Windows has been working well, I opened the machine and plugged the drive 4 TB and 2 TB, assuming that Windows did not recognize them when I started.

    When I started in Windows, Windows does indeed recognize the two drives and assign drive letters.  But in the case of the car of 4 TB, he acknowledges that the partition containing my old boot drive.  No drive letter is assigned to the secondary partition.  When I go to disk management, it shows all of the remaining spaces as unallocated space, but seems not yet quite recognize space completely in the way he would if I'd created directly.  For example, if I right click in that box, I don't get the normal options to create a new Simple Volume.  Everything on this menu is grayed out except properties and help.

    So I guess I have two questions.  (Leaving aside the possibility of a hardware problem), was I wrong to assume that a hard drive divided into two partitions could be transferred from a Windows machine to another?  I honestly thought that no matter where no matter what Windows 7 machine would recognize the two drives, but maybe I'm missing something fundamental.

    Two and more important still, there advice for access to the data on this drive?

    Hello

    A problem that could happen is that the disk partition has security setting so that the profile of the user that created it would be able to access it, and seeing that you are trying to access from a new profile may not not allow you to access

    To access these files, you can try to boot from the old hard drive manually to change the setting of the partition or simply manually move the files and delete the partition.

    To start from the old disk hard restart have the hard drive is plugged in, restart the computer and while it is booting F12 key to select the boot device, after that, select the old hard disk and access them normally.

    hope this has helped.

  • Hard drive partition and install the new operating system

    HY,

    If I partition my hard drive and I install a new OS (E.g. Ubuntu 14.04) my warranty ends?

    Thank you

    SA

    Hello

    No, it will not void the warranty but HP only supports the problems with the original operating system and prove the operation of the equipment of the original OS.

    Do the recovery disks and keep them safe before so that you could go back to factory settings if there is no problem of partitioning.

    Recovery partition usually works after partitioning, depends on your luck, but you could make the 'Active' Partition in disk management and try for recovery if it works or not.

  • Install the new SATA drive and the primary drive Clone which he

    After reading many messages from hard drive yesterday and the manual for my Dimension 4600, I bought a Western Digital 250 GB SATA internal drive which will become the secondary drive through Dell. My first is a 40 GB with 14 GB of free space. I am a student of site design Web and must use Adobe Creative Suite CS3, including PhotoShop, Dreamweaver, etc., which is a huge program. Technology Department told me that I could load the program Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on the new secondary drive and my images and other Documents which I will use to create Web sites for school. I could load MicroSoft Office 2007 as well if it is a good idea.

    What is a reasonable secondary use of a hard drive?  Is this a good practice? Benefits; Disadvantages?

    If the primary drive fails in the future, it is possible to just load Windows XP, etc on the new secondary disk at this time and the report on? Or I need to remove Adobe Creative Suite, MicroSoft Office, my pictures, etc., before I could load the operating system? I have a 60 GB external USB drive for backup of Documents and Settings.

    Dell Dimension 4600 (Pentium 4 CPU 2 .8GHz, memory 3 GB RAM) running MS Windows Home XP, SP 3.

    Any other good suggestions for the use of a Seconday drive in my case?
