HP ENVY dv6 Notebook PC - DELETED the RECOVERY PARTION

Hello

  • I have a HP ENVY dv6 Notebook PC with a product number of C4V06EA #ABU
  • It came with windows 8 is installed

I've upgraded to 8.1 windows however after several months I decided the format my laptop to an earlier version of windows which has windows 7.

When you install windows 7 I formatted my hard drive and the recovery partition and merged the two drives to make a.

SOMETHING I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND ANYONE TO DO IF THIS READING FOR ADVICE!

So with windows 7 installed on my laptop, I had several problems with drivers and so on.

I would like to return to the settings of factory/how I got it on the shop however I never had any backup DVD and now have more HP support or HP recovery installed on my laptop. And considering that I deleted the recovery partition I don't know what my options are.

I tried;

My partner also has a HP laptop - I tried to create the recovery disks to recover within the HP program but trying on my laptop he advises me that this isn't for my laptop.

I tried to download the drivers for windows 7 via HP supports however the drivers for my laptop are only for windows8 or 8.1

-----------------------------

Question time!

Can I get a copy of the recovery disks without having to pay?

Even if I did, because I deleted the partion will recover this work?

Can HP give me my key for windows 8 installed on my laptop?

-----------------------------

This is a great laptop and I can't use it even it is a little over 1 year also!  I contacted HP support by phone and I can not even any medium without having to pay a ridiculous tax, something I can't afford a student.

I would be very grateful for all the advice and help on what my options are here!

Hello:

You would have to pay the recovery disks command for your model from the link below.  What about 37.

You can read the post of Hüffer at link below if you want to try to make an ordinary W8 installation DVD.

http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware/need-product-key/m-p/2592907#M96681

From all the PCs that come with the W8/8.1 the product key is encrypted in the BIOS.  You can learn more about that under...

http://www.CNET.com/news/Windows-8-moves-to-BIOS-based-product-keys/#!

The only way you will get back the recovery partition is to buy recovery disks.

    Hello

    As long as you create your recovery media set - see link below-, so it should be no problem deleting the partition (moving it usually breaks its functionality).  If you need to use the recovery media to perform a 'factory Reset', this process will reinstall the OS and recreate all of the original scores, including recovery D.

    Create recovery media - Windows 8.

    About the removal of the recovery partition, you can often do this through the application Recovery Manager as shown in the HP document on the link below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00810279

    If this option is not available, you can simply delete the recovery Partition using Windows Disk Manager and extend c in the unallocated space.

  • Format HARD drive, delete the recovery partition and recover with disc

    Hello

    I have a laptop Satellite C660D-17F and want to format my HDD, remove the recovery partition and recover the preinstalled Windows 7 and other software. I don't want to keep my own data, which are all stored already, I just want to be sure I can safely restore preinstalled stuff. I have a few questions that I need help to clear up before I go ahead.

    Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition? If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?

    I found [this post | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/items/faq/71] which explains the recovery process. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that? It will restore the OS and the software for the backup of dvd drive? Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?

    Added SIDENOTE:
    I actually prefer to be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I'm after. Or is there a way?

    Sorry, I know that was a long post, but I want to be sure of what will happen BEFORE I'll and spoil things! :) If you got this far, thanks for reading. :)

    Hello

    I will try to offer help. ;)
    > Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition?
    Yes. Saved on recovery discs recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, specific Toshiba and utility tools and some additional software.
    > If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?
    Preinstalled Toshiba Recovery creator make recovery disc that includes the recovery image only. It has nothing to do with your personal data.
    > I found this post that explains the process of recovery. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that?
    After that, you should use recovery disks created for the recovery image installation.
    > Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?
    When you use the recovery disc for your laptop recovery image installation will have factory settings which include the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. To be honest I do not understand why you do not want to have this recovery image on the HARD drive. This allows the installation of recovery using recovery of HARD drive option. But of course you can delete it later for more free space on your HARD drive. Installation image that you can always use created for recovery discs-recovery DVDs.

  • Satellite P855 and Win8 - would like to delete the recovery partition

    In fact, I would like to remove the recovery on my new P855 Satellite partition using diskpart. Now I have some problems/uncertainty (of course I have already created the recovery DVDs):

    1: when I look in Disk Management on my Windows 8, there are 2 recovery partitions! a small beginning of the disc (450 MB), a bigger at the end of the disc (8,66 GB). I'm a little confused about this. There is not usually a single recovery partition? Are - this two recovery partitions from toshiba for windows 8?

    2: I read somewhere that it can occure problems with the system by deleting the recovery partition. is there a risk if I delete the above two recovery partitions? (not to mention that I don't have the recovery of files on the hard drive more) May - so that it affects the stability or the ability of the system?

    As I don't want to take the risk, I crash my system, I hope that someone knows about it!

    Thank you guys

    see you soon
    kDar

    And why you want to delete the recovery partition?
    Its best to leave it as it is in case, you want to retrieve the computer laptop back to factory settings.

    I guess that one was created by Win 8. It contains the files to fix the system in case something would be a mistake of the last partition seems to be Toshiba that contains the recovery image files.

    Deletion of partition of Toshiba should not (usually) affects the ability of the system to the laptop, but nevertheless, you must create a recovery disk before you remove anything on the HARD drive.
    The recovery disc will return to the factory settings in case, that the system could be confused to the top.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    I'm afraid that, as the recovery partitions are parties and if no recovery media is created, the only way to return to the factory default condition is by buying/getting recovery (DVD or USB pen drive) media. You can get the HP recovery media (website or by contacting HP support - these are the recommended means) or by buying some stores online.

    Here are the instructions > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07143

  • Meeting place for Dell 8 Pro 5855 - delete the recovery partition?

    I just bought a place 8 Pro 5855. I did a recovery USB disk. I was wondering if there is a way to remove the recovery partition so that I can retrieve this internal storage space. I could try something like EaseUS or MiniTool, but I was wondering if there was another way that I wasn't aware of. Is there a reason why I should not delete the recovery partition? Thank you!

    This is how I did it:

    1. run Diskpart (from Run or CMD prompt), don't worry he'll ask the elevation to Admin

    2. type: select disk 0 (main SSD)

    3. type: list of partition (to see the available partitions)

    4. type: select the partition 6 (my recovery partition, yours may be different)

    5. type: delete partition replacement (deletes the partition 6)

    6. type: select partition 5 (my Windows, to the area to recover partition deleted)

    7. type: extend (retrieves the space)

    8. type: exit

    It worked for me on the DV8P 5830.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: restore the system and drivers

    Hello. A few days ago I faced a bad experience with my laptop HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. System crashed. At any time, I tried to turn it on, an error message appears and the system was blocked. The message was: FILE: \BOOT\BCD status 0xc000000f, asking for the disc of Windows 7 system running. But the system disk did not run at all. I checked the situation and found the hard drive with 6 partitions instead of 2. I found a named partition BOOT (X which was a replica of C:.)  When I tried to restore the system with the recovery disc, something has obtained control of the recovery disc, so that C: might not be formatted; nor was X:. Also, I tried to cancel the file in X: but disc was protected and does not allow changes. If only I could get my uninstalled hard drive and all partitions have been cleaned. I got my hard drive cleaned perfectly, but my recovery disk can be installed correctly. So, the system has not yet restored. My question is: what should I do to get my laptop with the system restore? any ideas?

  • 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
