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.

    Hi dynamitenews

     

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
    2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

     

    You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

    Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.

    BIOS WARNING-
    Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

     

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite L850 - how to replace a HARD disk recovery partition?

    Hello.

    Toshiba laptop Satellite L850. PSKDGA-02Y012. The original HARD drive has failed in his colleagues even mobile, so we replaced the two HARD drive after you have created a recovery USB. When used to restore the operating system to original status of OOB.
    That has worked and portable runs much, but now I want to BACK the recovery partition (now only on the USB I think) for the new HARD drive.

    Simple to shrink the disk HARD C: (partition 2) on the HARD disk, but then how to transfer twhats on the USB (USB recovery stick) back on the HARD drive?

    Thanks for any help.

    Karim...

    Hello karim

    When you buy the notebook you will get it with preinstalled operating system (recovery image). Original recovery image is saved on the HARD disk on the recovery partition.
    Each owner of the laptop has option to make the backup recovery image and create recovery media. It could be the DVD or USB support. You can do this by using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool.
    This tool will create bootable recovery media that can be used for the installation of original image recovery if there is problem with the installation of image disk HARD recovery or when the drive is defective and must be replaced.

    Where the HARD drive is faulty and should be replaced or the owner of the laptop to upgrade HARD drive, you can install original image created using recovery recovery media (USB). After installing recovery image, you will have the same situation as for the first boot after the purchase of the laptop. With other words notebook will have factory settings again.

    In this case original recovery image is already copied onto the new HARD drive and you will also be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery. There is therefore no reason to copy a recovery on HARD drive media.
    Please note: installation of HARD drive recovery works with the factory only settings.

    If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

    Good luck.

  • Replacement for HP G62 hard disk recovery

    Hello

    I've seen other similar users have reported this problem but am not finding an answer that would solve my problem.  Having a laptop of HP G62-355DX under Windows 7 Home Premium, the hard drive turned be default via diagnostic codes and by calling the HP technical support to confirm.  The mfr/size of the existing hard drive is a Samsung 320.   Bought a new Seagate 1 TB of Best Buy.   I have 4 HP recovery disks.  Through the specified process for the recovery of the system, but once reached the end of it when the display shows "Preparation of recovery is complete:

    .. When the portable computer is restarted, it appears with the message no boot device is (and the hard drive for laptop boot option is enabled in the BIOS).

    Am stuck at this point;  supposedly, more large drives are supposed to work but is at - it a known issue?  I've seen references to one for different situations in these forums (for a desktop PC, for example).

    Or do I have to repartition the hard drive into two partitions, a 320GB and everything else - use someone elses of the Microsoft Windows 7 OEM CD?

    I do not have the Microsoft Home Premimum disc of course, only the HP recovery discs.

    The new hard drive sometimes requires to prepare first with utility cd from Cyberlink. Download and save the file. Once the download is complete, place a blank cd in your drive and click on the downloaded file to create a boot cd. Start with this cd and wait until you get a green check mark indicates the hard disk is ready. Remove the cd, insert the first disc of recovery and restart the laptop.

  • SMART hard disk error after replacing HD

    Hello!

    I SO hope that this someboidy is able to help me.

    I'm NOT a novice but I am confused.

    I replaced with the same model HD HD CQ58 provided with COMPAQ because the old HD was shot - how it happened escapes me.

    Anyhoo, after screwing a new HD I wanted to put OS on it, but I get the following error just after pressing set button / stop:

    I tried the LINK, it does not exist.

    I also went in the Boot Options in the BIOS to boot from a USB and put the USB HD in the first place.

    When I restart it does not recognize a USB key. I tried Windows 8 and UBUNTU which ususally works on all the machines I've fixed so far.

    No chance whatsoever.

    As I mentioned earlier:

    I'm puzzled.

    I have no recovery CD and cannot make one because I'm not running Win8 on any of my PC.

    Thus, any suggestions?

    Help, please

    Thanks in advance

    Henry of Kai

    First of all:

    Thank you all very much for taking the time and you answer!

    And now, for what happened after I did all what has been proposed:

    Nothing.

    The message remained the same.

    Still no hard drive (even if it was new)

    Then I took a hard drive to work with Win7 on it from another machine, put it in the Compaq and... nothing.

    I tried the USB with Win8 (NTFS with Rufus) does not.

    I don't know why, I tried again, but when I used the same USB with UBUNTU Live - 14.04. on that I had taken or tried before... He recognized at startup.

    Weird hard drive wiped completely since it was not recognized by the BIOS (one with Win7 on it... data paths but I had backup ).

    So, now I'm running the faithful Tahr on the Compaq and it works fine.

    I will try to put the original Win8 on it, but the system doesn't seem like more since USB NTFS NTFS are not recongised at startup.

    Well Anyhoo, I got the machine to work.

    Would have been nice to know what was wrong with him to solve future problems, but at least I had to register in this forum

    So I could bore you guys with questions in the future.

    Take care

    There are recovery (D) on the hard disk.  How can I recover all my old files and programs of this drive?

    Original title: I changed from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 operating systems.

    Hello sdf361,

    The recovery partition, that is what you would use to restore your computer when you bought it with the OS on it
    that was pre-installed. It is not your old programs and data on it. You will need to backup your data to restore and install
    your programs since the original installation discs.

    If you do not have the program disk, I suggest that the manufacturer of the computer.

  • 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.
