  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.

  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.

  Hello:

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

  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...

• 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.
  > I'd really rather 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 don't want after
  Fix.

• 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.

• Satellite L745: I deleted the recovery partition. What can I do now?

  I bought a new laptop l745 and I found two hidden partition, I think that the recovery partition is only one. so I deleted the other
  After that, I tried doing a recovery on DVD but I got a message "no recovery on the HARD drive" or something like that

  How can I restore my recovery partition?
  :)

  You cannot restore the recovery partition. It can be restored if you use the DVD of initial recovery for the installation of the OS. In this case, everything will be like before.

  You created the recovery DVDs until you have deleted the recovery partition?

• 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 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

• Pavilion 15-p045tx: I deleted the recovery partition and I don't have the disc

  I deleted the recovery by mistake partition while I tried to format my hardrives. I have no recovery disks when I bought the new laptop. I need help in getting my laptop to a factory State. Help, please

  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

• Z420: accidentally deleted the recovery partition

  Accidentally deleted the Partition D:Recovery on my win machine 7 Z420. I have HP recovery disks: System Recovery, Driver Recovery DVD, 8.1Pro operating system and operating system Win 7 pro sp1.  The use of these will recreate the partition D automatically or do I have to do this first.  I have the orientations of the white paper "Restoring Microsoft windows 7 on the z420 ', but I was told that it will not recreate the recovery partition.  There is no need to restore everything if in fact I still have until the end without disk recovery D and files?

  There is no way to recreate the recovery partition on the z420.  The recovery disk media that I bought with the Z420 does not include this information.  It will only recover the original operating system and drivers and software that came with the system.  I spoke with HP z workstation support today.

  Or, is there anyway to retrieve the file from ssd

  I think that most likely he will if the recovery media is the name of the model specific & exact (number of audit to confirm product) as well as the same version of operating system, it will will certainly work.

  Yes, it works perfectly.  Show "Factory Reset", using your recovery disks reformatted the entire disk before you reinstall Windows 7, the software and the drivers originally shipped with the laptop and recreates the Windows 7 recovery Partition.

• Update delete the recovery partition?

  I have a computer laptop g6-2123us with windows 7. When I bought last year they offered low-cost Windows 8 and I bought but never installed. Now that the 8.1 came out I would try first to install Win 8 then let it update to 8.1. If I do this I lose the Windows 7 recovery partition? (d drive he will make a recovery Win 8 partition?) Should I just upgrade or clean install?  I remember when I first got this computer he had me do a restore, as I like 5 CD 8.1 to win is not what I wish it were, these recovery disk would allow me to put everything back the way it was? (Win 7 with the Windows 7 recovery partition?)

  Hello

  As a general rule, a clean install is preferable and there should be no problem with your laptop - a guide on performing a new installation of a drive to upgrade can be found on the following link.

• Remove the recovery Partition

  Hi, this is my first post, I write because I have experienced a problem with a HP ultra-livre.

  I just bought a HP Folio 13. I burned the DVD with data recovery (using the "Create recovery media" button in the HP Recovery Manager) and I would like to delete the recovery of data stored in the secondary partition (as they occupy almost all of it) by the button "Delete the recovery Partition" in also HP Recovery Manager. What worries me is if I remove the recovery of data stored in the partition of my computer, (whenever I need them) can I restore from the DVD I burned? can you assure me that it will work, or there might be no problem doing this?  If not, what is the sense to display a button named "Delete the recovery Partition"?

  Looking forward to your kind response,

  Thank you very much

  Hello:

  In theory, the recovery discs that you do should work.

  In reality, this is not always the case.

  Please read these tales of woe on the link below (there are 324 pages of discussions) and decide for yourself what you want to do, because nobody would be able to make no assurance that your recovery disks will work.
