How can I perform a system recovery to get all lost data.

I need help in performing a full recovery of the system to recover lost files and data.

DavysLocker,
Thanks for posting with us.  The only way to recover the lost data is if you have the backup of your system.  The system restore feature does not have the personal data.  If you use the Windows backup utility to back up your data, then you will just run the troubleshooter, and then follow the steps to restore data.
If you do not have a backup of your system, then you can check with the local PC stores on data recovery.  Also, there are available data recovery programs but I don't know how they work although I've never used one. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • HP G62 371DX: help! Can not perform the system recovery

    HP G62-371DX
    A few months ago that my HP laptop was very slow, then crashed. I have factory reinstall using disks that I have ordered or purchased from HP. It was a time of recovery the first successful I used the recovery disks and after days of updates of the VICTORY, even was running Win 10, without a hiccup. Then, I received a few messages on the hard disk health and prominent failure. I decided to upgrade the laptop by buying a new battery and a HARD drive. When I tried to use system recovery discs to reinstall Windows 7 to factory State, it failed with an error:

    Copy the file fails
    From: F: \PRELOAD\BASE11. WIM
    TO: C: \RM\IMAGE| COMMODITIES11. WIM
    PRESS OK TO RETRY

    "" He then reloads the "Windows prepares your computer for first use" MORE AND MORE. Could there be something wrong with the recovery discs?

    Hello

    You can try to see if the problem is with the recovery disks, would be to see if you can perform a new installation of Windows 10.

    As you mention that you recently update from Windows 7 to Windows 10, a hardware profile on your machine will be recorded by the activation servers

    Therefore, as long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after the upgrade to Windows 7, you can simply create the 10 Windows media on another PC and then perform a new installation as described in the guide on the following link.

    Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

    Anyone know how to run a system recovery? My machine is: Toshiba Satellite L300D.

    I tried ' the power of restraint button for 10 seconds and then press on and hold zero keys "(Http://www.toshiba.com.au-online home > support > FAQ > how can I get System Recovery rum?) but I does not work.
    After I release the 0 key it should come to the top of the screen, but what was displayed is a black white and at the top of the screen theres a small words blurred (fonts may 2-3, I can't read it however).

    Press 0 (zero) key, turn on the laptop, then release the button Zero when appears the Toshiba logo.

    If this does not work, go to the start menu by pressing F8 when Windows starts booting, then go to Windows Recovery Options. You can also run Recoveyr from here (if its Vista).

  • Re: How can I return the system recovery partition?

    I just used the cd to restore the system and on resetting my system to factory setting, but unfortunately, the system drive on the system recovery partition has been deleted.

    How will re - install the drive to restore system partition?

    Hello

    Do you mean the second Vista partition which contains the backup system files?

    This partition is hidden and usually after installing the OS from the Toshiba Recovery disk this partition must be re-created.

    I m 100% sure because I ve got my cell several times using the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs and the hidden partition is created every time.

  • How can I move files system recovery to the original location?

    I use Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion P6000 series.  I believe that the Recovery Manager created Windows System Recovery Files folder on the C: drive (from .wim files) created on an external drive, and I want to move them to the original location.  Just copy or move everything to the C: drive, or is it an executable program that does this?

    Found this previous post - I guess that's the solution...

    The backup that is used to recover only restores the files in a folder, leaving the owner to move. I agree, not the application of backup more useful, but better than nothing I guess.

  • Perhaps having been scammed by someone representing Microsoft, how can I clean my system / should I change all passwords?

    I bought the protection system. yesterday I wasphoned once again, informing me that my microsoft license had expired and I was required to pay for it be extended. I felt that it was a scam and refused to go forward.

    Hello alexanderdiack,

    Product license remains for always with the product. It can be cancelled by Microsoft, but it is very likely. If your product (used for activation) key was having problems then you would get a message on the screen of your PC to the effect that necessary to reactivate Windows.

    Unless you have a support plan prepaid or you raise a support ticket Microsoft will ever contact you. Obviously, you should contact your company credit card and to tell them what happened. They may be able to stop the payment to this company.

    A give them remote access to your computer? If Yes, then your system has been compromised and I would say that your reinstall Windows from scratch.

    If you don't give them remote access, then, Yes, by all means, as a measure of protection, change all your passwords. It would be wise to change banking passwords online too.

    Any advice?

    HP Back Up and Recovery Manager takes me straight to the back and Food Center... is that correct? Is it the same thing? Doesn't seem to give the right options - can only restore - not recover...

    Need help... Please...

    Hi, Richard:

    Ok... You have 3 files in the same folder.

    Now, you double-click and run the X 14 or 15 as there is, .exe file.

    You get the windows vista installation screen.

    Now close that.

    Now you should see a folder named Vista.

    To create a startup using image burning disk, you do not extract all files in the folder Vista, but follow all the other steps in the section create a .iso file

    It's the wrong info that I mentioned in my post.

    I had to type in Microsoft Corporation, then the rest displayed fields populated.

    Then just burn the ISO file that you built on a DVD using a burning program capable of burning ISO files.

    Hope that helps,

    How can I perform a clean installation of Mac OS x for my iMAC, retina 5K late 2014 with drive of Fusion with the intact Recovery HD partition?

    Pure how to install OSX on a Fusion drive and keep the recovery disc function

    These instructions assume that your iMAC partitions or file systems has been damaged and you want to restore to the way most efficiency with fusion drive and the recovery partition, similar to what was built in the factory.

    These instructions work for the iMAC, retina 5K end 2014 version comes with OSX Yosemite. The scores of major drive of the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive has been configured as a logical drive (merger by car).

    WARNING: These instructions here are shared for interest only. Readers to take their own risk by following these instructions. The author is not responsible for any damage caused by following these instructions.

    This is the target disk partitions, and the configuration that we want to achieve.

    Disk0 is the 128 GB SSD - solid state drive and holds the start of the partition (disk0s3)

    Disk1 is the 3.0 to HDD - mechanical transmission and holds the Recovery HD partition.

    There are two EFI partitions to partition table GUID on both hard drives (disk0s1, disk1s1).

    Disk space remaining (partition disk0s2 and disk1s2) are used to create the disc of Fusion 3.1 to named "Macintosh HD".

    / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0

    1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

    2: Apple_CoreStorage GB LVG 121.0 disk0s2

    3: disk0s3 Apple_Boot Boot OS X 134,2 MB

    / dev/disk1 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * 3.0 to disk1

    1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1

    2: disk1s2 Apple_CoreStorage TB 3.0 LVG

    3: disk1s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

    / dev/disk2 (internal, virtual):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD + 3.1 TB disk2

    Logical volume on disk0s2, disk1s2

    0D807F6E-FB7C-418F-AAF4-EF3EA3525D10

    Fusion unencrypted drive

    Here's how we do it.

    • A. clean reinstallation of Mac OS x.
    • 1. make sure that you back up all your data on the hard drive using Time Machine or other means. The following procedure will delete all data.
    • 2. create the OSX install USB, insert it to the MAC workstation.
    • 3. given that us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
    • 4. in the menu at the top of the screen, select disk utilities.
    • 5. turn highlighted the volume of disk Fusion called "Macintosh HD." Click clear to clean.
    • 6. If his success, then go ahead to install OSX new to that partition, as usual.
    • 7. otherwise, if it does not, that means fusion drive has been damaged.
    • 8 follow the instructions below to fix it.
    • . B. Split disc Fusion in the physical hard disks
    • 1. Since us will be operated on the internal drive of the Mac trunk, assumes that we already have boot up OSX install USB drive (see Y.).
    • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
    • 3. on the screen of the terminal type:
    • Cs diskutil list.
    • You will see something similar to the screen below.
    • 4 copy the long string after Logical Volume and replace the UUID with it in the following command to delete the logical volume of the disc fusion (aka coreStorage of logical volume):
    • diskutil deletevolume cs UUID
    • For example:
    • diskutil deletevolume E59B5A99-F8C1-461A-AE54-6EC11B095161 cs
    • 5 copy the long string after the logical volume group and replace the UUID with it in the following command to remove the drive (aka coreStorage) fusion:
    • diskutil cs remove UUID
    • p. ex. diskutil cs remove E03B3F30-6A1B-4DCD-9E14-5E927BC3F5DC
    • 6. at this stage, the fusion drive has been deleted, and hardsisk SSD and mechanical hard drive will be reappear in diskutil or separate records.
    • 7. If step 5 or 6 takes more than 30 minutes to complete, this means that the fusion drive has been corrupted. You can follow the commands below to clear the table to partition the hard way. First command clears the SSD drive, second command erases the HARD drive.
    • The command does not return a response, after 1 minute, press Ctrl + Z to complete orders. 1 minute is enough data to code and erase the partition table on the disk.
    • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk0
    • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk1
    • . C install a new copy of Mac OS x for the hard drive HDD and tested this disk partition hard recovery work.
    • 1. go on diskutil to create a partition called Macintosh HD HDD hard drive using all the space there.
    • 2 do the same with the mechanical hard drive.
    • 3. follow the usual procedure to boot from the installation of OSX USB and install a new copy of Mac OS x hard disk SSD.
    • 4. This will create the correct priming of the partitions, recovery hard drive partitions and PSX partitions hard disk HDD.
    • 5. once the installation is complete, test if OSX may start successfully, but no need to go through the initial MAC OS x didn't put in place that we're going to waste this and do the installation again later.
    • 6. we must now test if the recovery hard drive partition works.
    • 7. reboot for hard drive recovery (see X - by pressing command and R at the same time during boot right after that you hear sound start and release only a few seconds after you see the apple logo and the progress bar for loading...)
    • 8. it is important to test and make sure that the partition of hard drive recovery.
    • D. recreate the fusion drive
    • 1 since us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
    • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
    • 3
    . on the screen of the terminal type:
  • diskutil list.
  • You should find that we have a list of disk group hard physical volume only, no logic here still.
  • 4. you will see something similar to the screen below.
  • 5. search for the largest partition on the SSD hard drive, which should be close to the maximum size of HDD to the SSD (121 G, for example) and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk0s2
  • 6. search the largest disk partition mechanical forming fusion with the SSD hard drive. This should be close to the maximum size of the mechanical hard drive (for example 3 TB) hard disk and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk1s2
  • 7
  • . Now let's create the merger in car (group alias logical volume) in the Terminal, type: diskutil cs create nom_lecteur driveIDs
  • The number of the driveIDs is unlimited, it may be a number of discs, or a number of disk partitions. Always put the faster discs first, for example for our SSD disk0s2
  • For example:
  • diskutil cs create fusiondrive disk0s2 disk1s2
  • diskutil - the version of disk utility command line.
    cs - This calls for Core Storage, which is necessary for the merger.
    create - creates a basic storage group.
    nom_lecteur - is the name of the drive and how you want that he
  • appear in the disk utility (not the Finder - that comes later). You can call it what you like; in our example, we named our Fusion table "Fusion".

  • driveIDs - Here is the Player IDs of the readers you want as part of your Fusion table, separated by a space. In our example, they are 'disk0' and 'disk1', but it may be different in your configuration.
  • It is important that the faster hard drive appears first in the command, which in our case the disk0s2 (a partition in the SSD). In this way, drive fusion will use this disk as primary and the cache. The second disc in the command, in this case disk1s2 (a partition on the HARD disk). The secondary disk (HARD drive) is used to store less frequently used files.  Otherwise, the fusion drive performance will be worse that it is designed for.
  • 8. you will see something like below appear on the screen:
  • Creation Volume logical storage of kernel
  • Move isk0s2 storage of carrots
  • Disk1s2 of switching for the storage of carrots
  • Waiting for logical volume group appear
  • Discovered the new group of logical volumes 'DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 '.
  • Store LVG UUID: DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53
  • Finished CoreStorage operation
  • 9 copy to the bottom of the string after "Discovering new Volume Logic Group" using the command + C
  • 10. next, create the partition of the merger (alias logical volume) drive named "Macintosh HD".
  • In the Terminal, type: diskutil createVolume groupString jhfs cs + size volumeName
  • For example:
  • Diskutil createVolume DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%
  • diskutil - once again, this is the version of disk utility command line.
  • cs - called the basic storage functions, which are necessary for this arrangement.
  • createVolume - this is the command to create the storage area real for the reader who is represented by an icon on your desktop.
  • groupstring - this is the long alphanumeric string you copied in the previous step. It identifies the table you created such as getting a volume placed on it.
  • jhfs + -the format of the disc. It is Apple (journaled) extended Format, which is recommended for drives with an operating system installed on it.
  • VolumeName - the actual name of the volume, how it should appear under the icon. If there is a space in the name, you must put the full name in quotes ("name") or put a slash before the (name Drive\) space. In our example, we made these, naming our volume "Macintosh HD".
  • size : this is the size of the volume. In our example, we had a 1.1 TB drive. We used '1100g' to describe what 1100 GB (1.1 TB to base 10). Otherwise, we could have also used 1.1 T or even 100% as a size.
  • 11. go to diskutil to verify that you can see this new partition on the list.
  • 12. test by erasing all the data from it.
  • 13. then you can go ahead to start on the USB drive to install OSX and install a new copy of Mac OS x on it.
  • 14. This will allow you to keep the recovery disk feature.
  • X. how Prime to recover partition
  • Press and hold the command and button R set immediately after hearing the bells to boot.
  • Only release it 2 seconds after you see the Apple logo on the screen and the progress bar for the start. This will start the partition of hard drive recovery.
  • Y. how-to boot OSX install USB
  • Press and hold the command and the optionkey together immediately after hearing the ringing of boot.

Cloning is a special form of the copy.  It copies all files including startup system files so that your new drive is essentially identical to the first.
