HP Pavilion: Recovery Partition & recovery media

Hello

I searched the Forum but have not found exactly what I needed to know.

I installed a couple of updates to windows, and now no software will open outside of google chrome. Registry appears to be corrupted, and if I get an early state, yet windows seems to have a problem, could used to install anything. So I guess my only way out is to back up my files and perform a system recovery.

But I have a few questions on the recovery of this system.

I have a HP Recovery partition, but I never created a recovery disk (it always shows me a reminder), so here are my questions:

(1) if I create the DVD of recovery (as requested by this reminder of HP), it will remove the recovery Partition?

(2) if I don't create the recovery DVD and use the HP system recovery, it remove the recovery Partition after recovery?

(3) if I make the recovery of the system (without DVD), I'll be able to create the recovery DVD after? Will it keep showing me the reminder?

(4) if I do a recovery of the system (without DVD), will I still be able to use the Recovery Manager software? If I create the DVD, I will still be able to use it?

I ask this cause I'd rather have my recovery on the HARD drive on a DVD, but I'm afraid that a recovery of the system will delete the partition recovery and software.

Kessinger4, welcome to the forum.

I ask this cause I'd rather have my recovery on the HARD drive on a DVD, but I'm afraid that a recovery of the system will delete the partition recovery and software.  It is always better to create the recovery/s disk because if fails it HARD drive, you will lose everything with no way to get it back.  The DVD is much more reliable than the HARD drive.

    "Partition recovery has been deleted" Message in creation of recovery media.

    I bought my new HP pavilion laptop G4 two days ago only and has not changed anything in the two players named drive C: for windows and D: for HP Recovery.

    now, I want to do a recovery with the HP Recovery Manager software disk.

    but it shows a Massage: "Recovery of Partition was deleted" Recovery Media creation section.

    in the recovery Partition my computer is almost full (3.26 G 25.5 G is free). so I think that there are current recovery files.

    I have not access to HP to buy recovery disk or call support.

     

    Thank you

    I don't know why your PC is saying your partition disappeared - you're right, it seems to be missing. I know that if you use the wizard to help to make your recovery disks backup copies and then ask him to remove the recovery partition to give you more space on the hard drive, it will remove the factory image HP of Windows 8 for the recovery partition and let the normal Windows repair tools.

    There are tools, but which allow you to create your own recovery partition full with these tools of Windows repair and a new image of your instalation so that you can restore from that. You can use this tool: Windows 7/8 - creator of Partition Recovery OEM available here: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/21978-Windows-7-8-OEM-Recovery-Partition-Creator but it's a lot of work and it would be faster and more easy just for your data backup and restoration of your HP recovery disks made you from the support Assistant. If you did not the disks, HP can opt to send you a copy... they do not normally this but I read that some people have luck to get a free copy of HP media... otherwise, they want you to buy recovery disks ($40.00). I guess it depends on the exact terms of your situation.

    An alternative is to use Macrium Reflect Free Edition to ghost or clone your system. You can then restore your entire system even with your custom programs installed, to the exact state it was when you made the backup image. (this may take several dvd) I suggest that you go down that road because your system with Macrium Reflect restore is much faster than restoring from the HP recovery discs. Even if you do not get another copy recovery disks, you must use this tool to make another backup that you can customize to your liking. Your re - installs will be faster, they will already have your chosen installed software, and you will save wear on your HP recovery disks.  You can then delete the recovery partition to regain this space on your hard drive (since you cannot access in all cases, you will not need this space being taken up).  BUT... you cannot restore Mode UEFI which is what HP comes with. You have to go into your Bios settings and switch in the Legacy Bios mode (which disables the secure boot) FIRST or else the Macruim recovery boot disk will not load to install the recovery image. After the system re - installs you can go back into the bios settings and disable bios Legacy and reactivate if secure boot you want. (Windows 8 charge mode UEFI bios active secure boot or Legacy mode... it's your choice.) UEFI mode will load faster, but it will cause problems if you want double boot the system with another OS) hope this helps.

  • Create a recovery Partition recovery media

    I'm trying to help my sister fix her laptop computer, it's a HP Pavilion DM3. The hard drive has developed a physical defect that prevents it from start in Windows, but the recovery partition seems intact.

    What I want to do is to replace the hard drive with a new one and restore it using the recovery of the old hard disk partition. Is it possible that I can do the following:

    1. create recovery media when booting in recovery manager / the recovery partition?

    2 copy the hidden content of the Recovery folder on this partition (when connecting the drive to another computer), so I can copy the recovery on a new physical disk partition?

    Any help greatly appreciated, thank you.

    MattGoldman,

    When you request support, please provide the number full name or product model of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

    The information requested above are on the bottom of your computer, inside the battery compartment or on the BIOS boot screen. Please DO NOT include your serial number. Please enter the product/model information consumer HP Online Support page and post it here for our review.

    The methods that you have described or procedures which have been provided will work. While it is possible that "D:\". "HP recovery partition is intact, it is more likely that it is not. The only way I think that you may be able to recover the system right now is to buy a new hard drive size and as the failed drive and "clone" of all of the old disk to the new disk. This will / may require two boxes USB 2.5 "external hard drive and a work computer to accomplish.

    Once the disc has been 'cloned', place the new disc of the HP laptop and see if it boots. If it starts, immediately create HP recovery support. If it does not start, try to set the "D:\". "As HP recovery partition active by using a utility of partitioning of the road. If it starts, it must begin the process of restoration of HP and return the computer to a factory State.

    If none of the above works please contact the official support HP customer in your region / country, via the Portal to Support HP in the world, to see if the HP recovery disks are available.

  • Satellite C650 14U: recovery media creates the recovery partition?

    Hello, I used the recovery media creator to create a USB flash drive recovery media.

    If I can use that to restore Windows 7 installation on a new hard drive (as the SSD) will be the drive itself have the recovery media on that partition?

    So if I then lose the USB could restore again by pressing zero when turn?

    Or it does not retrieve the Windows partition and nothing more?

    Thank you

    First of all, the new hard drive itself has no partition recovery on it. The recovery partition is a copy of the system partition and locates at another location, therefore, restored from a recovery media unit contains just the partition system without recovery partition.

    Second, if you have a recovery on a local disk partition, you can always restore by pressing zero when power on/off. If this isn't the case, I am sorry to say that you don't you have no source of food.

    In third place, somehow, we can say that it only retrieves the system partition.
    PS: just my personal knowledge.

  • No recovery Partition - question Recovery Media Creator

    Somehow, I don't have a recovery partition on my hard drive but have Toshiba Media creator on my desk?

    Hello

    It seems that the recovery media creator software is always installed, but the HARD drive recovery partition has been deleted from the HARD drive.

    This is why the recovery media creator can't access the HARD drive recovery partition.

    What to say. In this case, you will not be able to create the recovery media :(

    But you can order this disc from here:

  • HARD does not work after changing the disk partitions recovery media creator

    Hello world

    After installing windoows 8.1 April major upgrade (win 8.1 presents as OEM), and have shrunk C partition to create a data partition "D", "Troubleshooting" option under advanced start menu is no longer available.

    Toshiba Recovery Media Creator does not work, too (it can not find any hard disk recovery partion).
    I got in the OEM recovery partition.
    I am also able to create a recovery using the Windows tool unit.
    You have no idea about it?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    Sorry to hear about all this. Unfortunately, you now have a big problem. I don't understand why you didn't create support of recovery before you started to change the factory settings, including to change the structure of the partitions of HARD drive.

    Mobile offered with factory settings a structure specific partitions and recovery recorded image is saved on the partition of drive specific and marked with invisible markers. These markers are visible for preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool and when you start the tool can find points of reference and has full access to specific files.

    Unfortunately, after changing the original scores structure Toshiba tool cannot find these markers more and is not able to copy files from recovery media recovery. What you need now is the original recovery disk. Using this disk, you can install original recovery image and after doing this, you will have new factory settings.

    I know it sounds stupid now but you must order the original recovery disk and it can be done on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Can I delete the second partition after recovery media creating?

    Hey,.

    I just create recovery media, with 2 DVDs and I wonder if I can now delete the partition on the HARD disk, which contains a folder named "HDDRecovery" called 'Data'

    I ask here because I don't want to do something stupid. Thanks in advance for the answer

    Hello

    There is nothing special, just remove them as you usually do. The thing most important you have already made the recovery discs. :)

  • Need help with the recovery partition/create recovery media

    HI - first thing I did when I got my thinkpad is a clean install of w7, but then I thought about it and restored the recovery partition, conviniently located at the end of the training, in order to create a backup dvd factory. Thing is, when I click the autorun (lenovoqdrive.exe) and select 'create recovery media', I get an error stating that "program files (x 86) \lenovo\factory recovery\recovburncd.exe" is missing... obviously since the operating system partition was crushed.

    I tried RnR and looked on the software + drivers page and nothing happens as "... \lenovo\factory recovery\" when it is installed. So, where can I download the program that creates the recovery discs?

    (I know possible to restore the operating system of the *.wim file but I want to leave that as a last resort).

    Okay here's what I did to who mightve had the same question: as mentioned earlier, I have restored the partition Q with (your favorite free partition recovery tool), then booted from a usb winpe (with imagex) generated from victory aik (free).

    first I deleted (from winpe boot usb) windoze partition with diskpart and recreated the 2 partitions S & C (and Q is on the left) by hand according to 'recovery.ini' found on q. then I restored S and C 'sdrivebackup.wim' and 'cdrivebackup.wim', respectively, using imagex.exe, which is actually two one liners.

    Finally, I tried the bcd to fixation by hand according to "bcdinfo.txt", also found on Q, but that did not really work... so I just jumped into a bootable win7 USB and he rewrote the bcd by itself (I assume). the last step has been fixing the mbr by using /fixmbr and /fixboot bootrec.exe.

    ATM I started just and afaict it behaves exactly like the first start-up of the plant. see you soon

  • HP pavilion g6: recovery media g6-1d16dx

    Do not have access to another pc easily... in short... a friend gave me a laptop... hard drive is shot. Order a new but I know that I need a recovery media as the laptop is completely inaccessible. Have you looked at the site of hp without success... other options? Thank you, cheekykat

    Hello:

    You can order support for recovery from the link below...

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/mediaorder/HP-Pavilion-G6-1D00-notebook-PC-series/5186811/model/5228835/softwareitem/680046-001/STEP1

  • HP Envy X 2: laptop recovery partition (D) merged with another partition, not be able to create a recovery media

    I have merged my restore partition HP with another partition I created. Data recovery files are still intact in the New Partition. I have not created a recovery media. When I tried to create the USB Flash Drive recovery using recovery HP Manager media, I get the message that "recovery partition does not exist. How to get again the merged recovery partition and create a recovery USB Flash drive. If simply copy data from recovering files to a USB flash drive will work as a Bootable media in the case that need if in the future.

    @joy1964: should not have done that.  Messing around with the OEM partition somehow good enough recovery ensures it won't work not later, when you need it.

    Personally, I don't trust recovery integrated systems in any case.  You want to be able to recover from an image stored on a disk system large capacity Flash DRIVE or external.  In this way, if the disk fails, I can restore a functional system within minutes.

    Consider using a third-party product known as Macrium Reflect this.

    Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.

    What I recommend is the following:
    (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
    (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
    (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

    NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

    AND... you no longer have the recovery partition at all and can reuse that space for something else.

  • Pavilion 23-b244 AiO: the system recovery media does not support this computer

    Hey all,.

    I had a power outage (1 TB) HD material on me about a week ago and replaced by a (500 GB) SSD, not purchased from HP.  I then ordered the recovery disc from HP for this particular serial number.  Whenever I boot on the recovery discs, I get "this computer does not support the system recovery media. You are not able to restore the system with the media. "The Minsize argument in the instructions to build on the DVD file provides a minimum of 140 GB, so I don't think I have a new smaller drive system is the question.

    Last month I have updated the firmware to v80.08, and in the bios "product name", 'SKU number', 'serial number of the chassis' fields are all empty.  In "System ID", everythign is empty except UUID and family name.

    I think that's why I'm not able to boot to recovery discs?

    Any help would be appreciated, I have use this computer for quickbooks and have bee unable to do accounting for a week and a half.

    Figured it out! On my Pavilion, you press Ctrl + A in the bios then click on 'System IDs'. Then I was able to type in the ID to build my recovery and support the byte to feature on the sticker under my machine. F10 to save then the recovery media recognized the computer properly and booted up!

  • Pavilion HPE h8-1234: computer without recovery media recovery

    My hard drive failed and I not create recovery discs. I searched HP's site and found my product but none of the recovery disks were available for Windows 7. They had a recovery media available for my product for Windows 8, but when I tried to browse the site further, I got a 'blank page' (and I'm not even sure I'd be able to use Windows 8, since it was not what was originally installed)

    At this point, I'm just trying to understand what are my options for getting an operating system that runs on a new hard drive, so my computer is usable. I'd rather find a way to access the software I had initially at lowest cost possible but if not, what are my other options?

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    Sorry, but HP stock no long recovery for older PC Win7 media.

    Given that HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  • Pavilion M6-1045dx: problem of recovery media

    I'm working on a cover of my laptop cousins.  The hard drive is dead and I had to order the recovery from HP media.  I just received the other day and started the recovery with a new hard drive.

    Everything was fine until I got the second dvd.  Then he stops at 71% and tells me it's a read error and asks me to click OK to try again.  I'm doing and the message comes back on the same file (wish I had the name of file, but I turn off the laptop).

    I retried a couple of times.  Same message.  I returned the drive 1 recovery.  Everything was fine until the second dvd again and stopped 71% on the same file.

    I think that the media, that I received from HP has a problem.

    How to send me the second dvd yet?

    Thank you.

    I ask that your question is raised. A person of HP will soon contact you. Please be patient as it is a holiday season in the United States.

    Ask to have the set of recovery disks replaced with HP usb recovery media. Usb support is much more reliable and more sustainable.
