• HP 450-011: delete the recovery partition after upgrade to win 10?

  I have a new HP 450-011 and it came with Win 8.1 and the recovery with the letter D: drive partition.  I did the upgrade to windows 10.  I made a set of recovery DVD for win installation 8.1.  Is there a reason for me not to delete the D: drive and replace it with my information?  I seriously doubt I'll want to roll back to 8.1 Win.

  Greetings,

  Have you tested the Win 8.1 HP Recovery disks before installing Win 10?

  A question is: If you need technical assistance from HP tech for a possible hardware problem. HP normally requires that the factory installed operating system to take in charge. This policy of HP may have changed during the upgrade to win 10. I do not suspect.

  You can export the recovery, Partition because it will not work now in any case.

  But you need a way to go back to win 8.1 when you need HP warranty support.

  Since you have already upgraded to Win 10, the only way to check the recovery of 8.1 Win disks is to use them and start all over again. Or the support of disks/USB recovery HP Win 8.1 on a new equivalent or larger HDD or SSD. A good installation means that you have now the factory install on this disk.

  It's a lot of work.

  The problem of guaranteed support is your problem.

  I have eliminated this problem by installing Win 10 on a new SSD. I have HP Win 8.1 on a separate SSD and win 10 on a different SSD. Possible guarantee problem solution means earn 8.1 running on HP SSD factory to check the problem of winning 10 SSD.

• 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

• safe to remove the recovery partition after having made discs?

  As the title suggests, made the recovery discs and want to use the hard disk space that is absorbed by the recovery partition.  Is it safe to delete them or will the lack of it on the hard drive cause problems with the recovery discs if ever needed?

  (G5135uk desktop HP just lowered from 7 to XP PC)

  In your case of removal of Windows 7 as the operating system and using Windows XP, I would say it is safe.  If Windows 7 was used, I would recommend to keep in tact.  If the recovery disks are used, it must put the computer back to factory new, even with the Parition of recovery went.

• Back to the recovery partition after installing Windows 10

  Trying without much success to help a friend with a Lenovo ideacentre B310.

  He had apparently been does not work properly under its native operating system Windows 7 and the owner has tried the free update of Windows 10. The cmnputer has not since then start beyond the blue logo of the Windows 10 flag.

  I tried a reset by using the F11 key which got through the whole process of restoration and reinstallation of probably Windows 10 but then frozen 100%.

  I have since installed successfully from a WIN Pro 10 CD, but it's understandable without a free license has been applied as it was a clean install.

  What I want to know, it's the recovery on the still Partition PC contains the original OS? If this how I start and recover to factory condition of the PC having in mind that the PC is currently the trial version of WIN 10 with a limited number of days of use before a product key must be purchased.

  Data loss is not a problem, I just need to go back to factory State and then move on from that.

  Problem all sorted. I didn't realize that you could install the applicable version of REMPORTER 10 of the tool of creation of media these days and use the product key from the COA of WIN 7.

  I'm assuming that I come back to a working version of WIN 7 before I could then upgrade to a licensed version of WIN 10.

  Thanks for all the help.

• Spectrum of HP x 360 13-4195dx: how to reassign the drive letter of the recovery Partition or delete partition?

  I just bought a new spectrum X 360 convertible. I'm trying to use Laplink PCMover PRO to move my programs etc to my old PC. But when I get to the part where I said to transfer, it tells me that there is not enough room for my D: drive. The recovery partition is D:.

  What I've done so far:

  (1.) I made a recovery USB drive using Windows 10 disk management software. (I thought that this software would allow me to remove the recovery partition after the copy, but he did this).

  2.) I tried to delete the partition by using the disk Windows 10 Manager but is not an option.

  What I want to do is delete the D: drive (I have the USB recovery) recovery and create a new partition of D: drive.

  Does anyone know what I'm missing here?

  Also, who was the person who chose D: as the recovery partition? (was that a competitor? (LOL)

  Thanks in advance,

  Dave

  I read on some other posts that the resumption of "F11" looked like a particular drive letter, so I was hesitant to remove the drive designation letter assignment. I did my recovery USB drive then I'll just delete the partition. I don't really like having all my recovery options on a HARD disk that will crash a day (LOL).

  Thank you

• Equium won't start - how to access the recovery partition?

  Hi, my sister has a 2008 Equium A200-1V0 with Vista 32-bit, that no longer starts (probably due to damage of rootkit virus). It loads the BIOS but then goes to black screen with blinking cursor.

  F8 does not work.
  F2 goes to Phoenix TrustedCore Setup utility. The Toshiba hard drive and a CD-ROM drive are listed in hand and start in the right order.

  Using F12 I can get it to boot from a Win7 64 bit repair disc that I burned using my laptop.

  However, it does not recognize the operating system or any image or restore points (because it is 64-bit) but he will be responsible for command prompt.

  To * guest *, I can launch Notepad and when I click on file / open and double click on computer it shows 4 Hard drives as follows:
  Local disc (c :))
  Data (d :)) 42 GB free of 54.5 GB
  WinRE (e :)) 1.11 GB free of 1.46 GB)
  Boot (x :)) 29.0 MB of free space of 31.5 MB (which is used by the repair disk)

  So the C: drive is listed, but without ability.

  * CHKDSK *.
  CHKDSK c: /r and press return

  «The type of the file system is NTFS.»
  Unable to determine the status and version of the volume. CHKDSK is abandoned.
  Cannot transfer messages saved in the journal of the events with the 50 State.

  * Run TESTDISK *.

  Analysis:
  Size of the partition start end in sectors
  1 P Windows RE (store) 0 32 33 191 89 26 3072000
  2 * HPFS - NTFS 191 89 27 7477 118 1 117051392
  3 P HPFS - NTFS 7477 118 2 14592 190 62 114307072 (data)

  * = Primary bootable
  When you perform a quick search, then P - list of files, the second partition it reports:
  "Cannot open the file system. Filesystem seems damaged. »

  So what I want to do is boot to Windows restore to drive E.

  My question is for Toshiba experts: If F8 does not work how to use the recovery partition?

  Laptop is:

  > THIS ISN'T MICROSOFT, TOSHIBA, AND GOOD PRODUCT DESIGN.
  I really put t know that should do better than to place the Microsoft sticker at the bottom.
  This product key and sticker on it's just proof that you purchased the machine with an operating system preinstalled and legal active OS version. This key belongs to original OS (recovery image) that you got with your laptop and it is not a kind of universal key that you can use for the activation of the operating system if you have made the decision to install the clean version of the OS.

  In General, this key is totally useless. While your computer you've got legal copy and this version, that you can install so often desired. It must not be enabled.
  > So my question still remains: can I recover my Toshiba laptop using this restore partition?
  If you want to recover using the Toshiba recovery image response is not. Cannot start HARD drive recovery facility.
  > Even with a dvd of Windows Vista is genuine, I can't reload the OS
  In my opinion you need make the clean OS installation using the clean installation or order original Toshiba Recovery disk on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx disc and install original (already active) recovery image.

• Satellite P750 (PSAY1A) - How update the recovery partition?

  Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

  My Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022) the factory settings has 132 update of Windows that should be applied during the first pass. I had to run Windows update 4 times before she shows "up-to-date". Not to mention drivers Toshiba as well.

  I also want to include some applications (Microsoft Office and other software and utilities)...
  Overall, I spent 2 days just to bring it t the State I want in.
  But I can't just access the recovery Partition (of the less any of this!)

  If you look at disk management, the recovery Partition is not a Volume name and that the file system is empty. If I right click on the recovery partition... all I see is "Help" Option

  I tried to assign a drive by using Diskpart letter... but it doesn't show much.
  My guess is that it is GBT/EUFI.

  Does anyone have experience updating the recovery Partition?

  > Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

  What do you mean by update recovery partition?
  The recovery partition should NOT be touched!

  In which case you'd change the partition, the HARD drive recovery process could not be started!

  Probably, you have not understood the meaning of such a HARD drive recovery procedure.
  It's the option provided by Toshiba and the recovery of HARD drive allows you to establish the notebook to factory settings; on the same State as at the first day of the purchase.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum. Welcome!

  I'm afraid that you can't create partitions of recovery if they are deleted. End users cannot do.

  If the computer is originally shipped with Windows preinstalled by HP (OEM of Windows for example), you can buy HP recovery media. They are generally cheap. You can use it to restore your computer to factory default condition. Here's how:

  Before moving to Windows 10 of my OEM 8.1 Win I would increase the size of the recovery partition (D).  I would like to know how to do this safely.

  Thanks for any help. John

  There is no need to increase the size of the HP recovery Partition. In fact, this can lead to make non-functional... HP recovery Partition leaving you without the ability to create your recovery HP Recovery Media options or access the HP Recovery Manager or "F11".

• No system boot, how to access the recovery partition?

  Hello
  While messing around with win7 and xp (from vista that was preinstalled on my system), I managed to make my computer unbootable.

  I made the recovery discs when I came to my computer, but I left with my parents... which is be the other side of the world (literally).

  However, I also kept the "recovery partition" intact, I hoped I could start somehow, but I don't know how.
  I tried holding down the zero, F2, F8... of other ideas?

  If not, is there another way to do it from a live CD? (like the one I currently use to write this message)

  Chris.

  Unfortunately, you will not be able to access the files for recovery. It can be done if the laptop has only factory settings. You use updated the system with two operating systems. If you want to have the factory settings again you can have with using the recovery disc only.

  I put t know how long it will take but maybe you should communicate with your parents and ask if they can send you the recovery disc as soon as possible.

  Otherwise you will have to use the installation disk of Microsoft for clean operating system installation. It can also be good solution for a few days until what you expect of original disc.

• Re: Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X - how to access the recovery partition?

  Hello

  I've formatted Windows 7 with a Windows XP CD but did not setup. I wanted to know how to access the recovery partition to set it by default, everything exists on the laptop right now is Ubuntu, but I don't know, I saw an additional partition that must contain recovery files as laptop did not come with a recovery disk and unfortunately did not create a filter.

  How can I access the recovery partition on the laptop having in mind, I formatted the drive Windows 7 was installed on or should I activate or something like that?

  Any help much appreciated

  Hey,.

  On the second partition of your laptop (data partition), you will find a folder named HDDrecovery and it contains recovery files. The problem is that you can use the HARD drive only with the pre-installed operating system recovery feature. It would mean in your case it s too late now and it s not in use anymore.

  You have created the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the user manual? If Yes, you can use this disk to restore to factory settings. Just boot from this CD and follow the instructions on the screen.

  If you don t have the recovery disc, you can order it here:
