• How to recover files from the hard disk recovery partition?

  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.

• Q: How do I restore from USB if the recovery partition is deleted?

  Hi, make a backup of my spectrum 14 of jealousy cumputer Windows 7 on a USB stick with hp Recovery Manager. After that I deleted the restore disk partition and installed Windows 8. Now have sleep/power issues on Windows 8, need to go back to 7 can I test before sending it in for repair.

  Even if I did a backup USB, of bus I can't boot from the USB and the ect/f11 option at startup, does nothing, yet windows just starts.

  Now, how can I restore from a USB Pendrive without having access to the F11 restore the disk option, how to reinstall System Restore?

  Hello

  A backup is not a clone. You have cloned partition to a USB bootable for her to work.

  The HP Backup & Recovery Manager does not copy the recovery partition, even if you back up the entire hard drive.

  Here is a reference for the HP Recovery Manager manual.

  Unless you do a recovery as a DVD or USB media, the only source for what is available to you is to buy a set of recovery disks.

  I would like to have better news for you on this subject.

  Best regards.

  Manager software HP recovery using the recovery partition, impeccable well. It is designed to restore your computer to its default settings, with all that eraesd. In other words, the way in which he came when you opened the box.

  If you have done this, then, unfortunately the chances of file recovery are very slim, if not non-existent.

• Where are the installation of Vista on the recovery partition files stored?

  Where are the real Vista installation files stored on the recovery partition? If it helps I have a Compaq Presario SR5601UK. They are all stored in a folder or are they distributed? A quick dir at the command prompt, the only way you can access the files :-(, revealed a large amount of .wim files, mainly in "preload", but none on about 100 MB in size. I just assumed that HP uses the real Vista installation process, just gives their graphical front-end and adds some garbage in. If he does not tell everything.

  Anon, they all are on partition D: and no, this isn't a hidden Vista copy. It is integrated with the HP software. This is also why you cannot repair Vista unless you have a retail copy. Other you need to perform a restore.

• x 360: delete the recovery partition after installing Linux

  Hello

  My x 360 laptop with 10 Windows works fine. I just installed Linux dual boot (w. Windows 10) on three new partitions. The scores are as below. E, F, G partitions are Linux.

  I have these questions please:

  1. is the recovery partition (D) no longer, now that I have partitioned the disk? (I did a recovery USB flash drive when I bought the computer)

  2. is it safe to remove the recovery partition (D)?

  3. There is also a small partition of 980 MB. What is c? Is it safe to remove?

  Thank you

  YCC

  

  Sorry, no.  You can not recover by using the HP Recovery partition after you change the partitioning scheme.

  As it is now, you might as well delete it.

  It will not hurt to remove it now because the HP Recovery works doesn'y work in any case.

  I know Macrium Reflect can backup and restore Windows and Linux distros because I have tried it, myself.

  Good luck

• G62 - support of recovery with the recovery partition

  Hi all

  I have looked around a bit and can not find specific answers for the problem I have, so I was wondering if anyone here has experience... basically, I'm trying to create recovery DVDs because I want to get rid of the recovery partition (I want to dual-boot with ubuntu but the HP creates a mess of the sheets for a reason any) and it does not burn. 5 DVD so far were ruined because it seems to burn about 0.000001% of the disk then spit it out. The DVD in question are of poor quality DVD-r. I could understand if they were RWs or some off-the-back-of-a-lorry blank DVDs, but they are decent, as it confuses me... especially since I'm as talks about data backup using Explorer standard windows 7 burning thingy, and it burns the DVD with no problems whatsoever

  But anyway, as I'm not sure that anyone can help me getting unruly software to accept these DVDs, my plan is to install ubuntu on a dual boot with windows 7, which should be easy to do, but I need to get rid of this partition to do (or I would have preferred to do this way). I would like to point out that HP_TOOLS I saved already, as she was pretty * beep * small. So I was wondering:

  (1) what exactly is IN the recovery partition?

  (2) if it's just windows 7 drivers and some HP bloatware, that's fine (I could certainly do without the latter), but is there something special that, if deleted and unsaved, will make this laptop unusable entirely [n. b. [I have another copy of windows 7, so I'm not too worried about it]?

  Thanks for reading, hope it wasn't too much of a tl; Dr.!

  Hello

  You are right that the recovery Partition contains only the files to reinstall Windows, all the drivers and all the software that was originally shipped with your laptop - deleting it will not affect not Notepad in any way other than you would be able to reinstall the OS using Recovery Manager.  You can always order a set of replacement of these disks at a later date if you find that you need - there is a small charge for this.

  Regarding the creation of a set of recovery discs, usually I had more luck with the DVD + r - as it may be useful to start safe mode and try to create them as this can sometimes help.

  Kind regards

• T410s recovery partition

  Got the T410s with SSD 128 GB.

  I used thinkvantage tools and that you already performed a restore disc on total DVD 3 dvd system and 2 for data.

  I want to erase the 10 GB recovery partition and experiment with different operating systems

  My question is if I can recreate the recovery partition with the recovery disks that I created with thinkvantage tools or his party once deleted.

  Yes, the recovery partition is recreated when you use the recovery disc for re - build your system (it did for my T510). But I doubt that you can recreate it another way.

  If you double-click the recovery disc in Windows Explorer, you will be asked if you want to delete. If you do, the drive will be deleted, and the recovery partition space will be merging in the partition with the c: drive, actually make the largest c: drive.

  I've done it twice already.

• recover from the recovery partition

  I found several entries by searching in the forum, but nobody seems to be similar to my problem:

  I want to recover my windows vista system partition using the partition recovery on my T61p.

  It worked very well for me last time. But in the meantime I installed Ubuntu which was installing the grub loader, I think that what causes the problem all to rewrite the mbr.

  By pressing the Thinvantage key while booting does not show me the usable entries. If I boot from the Thinkpad - Recovery Boot disk iexpect only after pressing 'next' linux partitions and data will be deleted also.

  But especially as I could finally recovery... "Select the partition you want to use as the system partition" or another message like this.

  I remember, I was delighted when I saw this message. Because at the time, I was doing this I was expecting something like that. But today, that would be great, I don't have to reinstall Linux.

  Can you please tell me how I'm going to continue?

  Thank you

  For 3 or 4 days I'm looking a solution for my problem.

  I tried many things and spent a lot of time reading about similar issues.

  Windows Vista Ultimate on my T61p is not able to upgrade to SP1. I did it via ThinkVantage System Update, Windows Update function function and I downloaded the SP1 of Microsoft.com.

  Meanwhile my games installed do not work, I reinstalled them and then got an error message like: ereg.exe does not work.

  Installation completed then and I got the same error as before, at the start of the game.

  I had a serious accident before 4 months and I spent all the time in hospitals. My only satisfaction now is my new T61p and I don't get to work.

  PROBLEM:

  Maybe I did something wrong before update so I tried to use the recovery feature to set windows to the same status as when I got the laptop.

  I tried using the CD Boot Vista added, disk 1-c and the last c. I also tried using the recovery partition which I did not have to work when I started this thread.

  During this time I installed the rescue and recovery 4.2 and now he got the correct menu entry. When I select this function (F11) starting the computer was 'normal' and I had the selection of GRUB menu...

  I also found a scandiskpatch.exe which should correct some problems of RnR using Vista and 4.2 RnR. But when I doubleclick on it, I get a message that my computer do not have good condition for the correction of program (or something else, I use the German language pack.

  I want to restore my computer, and then try to update and if this doesn't work I still will have to find a solution for this.

  Please help me with this very annoying problem.

• Pavilion dv6t-2000 - cannot recover from the recovery partition

  Hey there. I'm trying to restore my laptop with Win 7 settings, but I can't seem to restore from my recovery partition. I tried the F8, F11 key and on the ways to office with no luck. In some of them, recovery option is grayed out, but using the recovery on the Desktop Manager, I have recovery option, but he says to insert disk 1 before continuing. I have no disc and I already have a previous restoration set the last time I got my laptop (about 2 years ago).

  When I click on my computer I see the c drive and d drive - what is labeled a recovery partition. I did a check of the recovery partition and there are no errors. It seems to work fine, except that my laptop is not to be used to recover. I know it's a major road, so I've never tested with it.

  Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated

  It is more likely that some of the files were corrupted on the recovery partition. At this point, since you have no recovery disc, I would phone HP to order recovery media.

• p6210f crash, unable to recover from a previous date or access system recovery

  Hello, I have a HP with Windows 7 Home Edition 32 bit p6210f. We have done only recommended updates, added a modem, the router and the printer (all in buying there are almost 3 years).

  Our computer had been freezing so I ran Norton and it said we had a Trojan horse (I don't remember the details for the moment) the virus which, according to the web, have appeared around August 2012. Once I discovered this, I went online to find a solution like Norton said it took a manual removal. It's freezing, close and gives me the blue screen crash dump to avoid additional damage when the computer starts. I tried to find the computer from an earlier date (started with the oldest date and working current) and it gives me an error that the system recovery did not complete and it is usually followed by a crash. I tried to access the recovery files to put them on a USB key or make the recovery disks, but then he tells me that they are not available, even though I know they are there. Once again, this message is usually follow up with a message from blue screen crash dump.

  I know that the computer is on the older side, but we use to surf the web and now my son needs to do her homework, so I need to get back to work. Other viruses and errors, the computer runs generally very quickly and don't usually get us any errors or have questions so I think it is worth recovering it.

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion p6210f. According to the specifications, the computer has been put on sale about 3 years ago and came from the factory with Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). Please read this HP document titled ""looking for recovery discs?' for more information on 'Recover your computer without recovery disks', 'Creating recovery disc (or USB storage device solution)' and 'Order of the recovery disks from HP in the United States and the Canada'. " Since you say that your computer is infected by a virus, Windows recovery and/or create discs of recovery may leave the intact virus or reproduce it. Try to turn on the computer and immediately tapping the "F11" key and about once a second later until the computer starts in the recovery partition. If it fail to boot into recovery, your best bet is to order a 'clean' set of discs of recovery HP or third-party provider ComputerSurgeons.com
