HP probook 440 G1 query on the recovery partition

I not create recovery DVDs when I received my laptop then I upgraded to windows 8.1. I want to downgrade to 8 but when I perform a system recovery it says: no image found. I am aware that I need the recovery DVD to perform the recovery.

My questions are:

1: if I use a 8 CD to format my windows partition win then I will be able to use the recovery partition in my HARD drive and perform a restore to the factory settings so recover windows 8

2: if I create recovery DVD now with victory 8.1 installed recovery DVDs contain wins 8? I want to say can I perform recovery with these DVD's going to work?

Any knowledgeable person here please help me...

If your HP ProBook 440 G1 comes with Windows 8 and you upgraded to Windows 8.1, you can try a Windows of "cool". This should return Windows 8, as it did when I refreshed my Split HP 13 x 2 which has been upgraded to Windows 8. 1

If this does not work, try to set the "HP Recovery" partition as "Active" in the Windows Disk Management Console and restart the computer. If everything is working correctly, your computer must begin the process of HP recovery and restore your computer to a factory State.

(1) you can set the "HP Recovery" as "Active" partition using a Windows installation disc and choosing repair options.

(2) If you try to create your discs of HP recovery at this moment and the system allows you, the created disks will be the original image of Windows 8, which has been installed on your computer.

If none of the works above, you will need to contact HP to order a set of disks.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Rebuild the recovery partition

    Hi all

    Since my macbook pro in construction since a backup time machine, I have no recovery partition. Not sure if the recovery of time machine is the cause, or that the guy who has this laptop (work) in front of me he erased accidentally.

    I tried to use the script of "Recovery Partition creator" on several occasions, but it did not work. It becomes very urgent to get the recovery as soon as I'm running into several issues that require me to have the partition:

    • Disk errors on my internal drive that requires a correction
    • Need to encrypt my hard drive
    • Try to resize my disk internal, so I can install El Captain next to my current OS X I just need to test before you lose access to the work of the features (earlier version cannot be installed as he does not like our proxy for example).

    Happy to go all the way to 'clean up' and then to retrieve locks of tiem machine, but no idea how to do things right :-(

    Any ideas?

    I feel that you are not the first user or 'owner' of the MBP.  If this is the case, I suggest the following:

    Back up all your data.

    Erase the HARD drive and start in the recovery of the Internet (OPTION-COMMAND-R) which will connect you to the Apple servers.  Following the directions, you will be able to erase the HARD drive and install the original OSX the MBP came with.  The recovery partition must be created.  (I guess that the MBP is a 2011 late model or newer).

    Install a more recent OSX (as appropriate).

    Reinstall your user data.

    Ciao.

  • Can I change the drive letter of the recovery partition?

    HP P7-1235, Win7 64 bit running. 1 TB HARD DRIVE

    I usually partition my hard drive, so that my data is separate from the operating system and applications.  the operating system is the C: partition, and my data is generally D:.  The problem is: "D:" is used by the recovery partition.

    I can change his letter to something else, and recovery still works?

    Hello

    Well, everything has been said on this subject and its okay.

    It's better to not touch the D: partition, set another letter to your other partiion, if you change the recovery partition, you won't be able to use it.

    But you can also do a thing, you can go ahead and create your copy of the recovery disks, just enter some DVD, create your copy of the recovery Image, then you can change the drive letter of the partition Recovery to E: or even delete that.

    A copy of records RRS, you can always use them to again state of the plant, and that will reformat all your partitions, create the recovery disks and do what you want and prefer with you D: partiion.

  • 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.

  • How to create a bootable DVD/USB since the recovery Partition?

    Hi guys,.

    So, I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-141 (of Greece) and my broken hard drive. Unfortunately, I lost my recovery discs. I changed my hard drive, I installed the operating system, but I would like to have my computers it was (with all crapwares... Wink)

    I found a guy with the same laptop and it can send the recovery disc. In fact, he has already sent the disc 2 (he sent me two copies of his CD online) that he created when he bought the laptop (by recovery media creator). However, these discs are not bootable and (I read) that you use just them and when you restart the system through the Recovery Wizard. Unfortunately, it has not worked for me (at least with the CD of my friend sent me).

    Do you know some way that I can do? I want to get my friend a recovery disk? Can he create an ISO of the recovery partition?

    Any suggestion is welcome!

  • 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.

  • 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

    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:

    > > http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

    And once you receive the recovery [DVD or USB pen drive] media, here's how to use it to restore default factory/Windows to a condition:

    If the computer is originally not is not come with Windows pre-installed, but you install on your own after that, then you need to use the Windows installation media to reinstall Windows.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro C660-225: shrink the recovery partition englarge C partition

    When I first came to this product, prior to the opening, I thought that all 500 GB would go to the first partition, but then I saw that the recovery partition has half the 500 GB just for recovery which is unnessecery.

    But I had no problem with it at the time and used the recovery (after the backup to a disk) for ubuntu partition, so I have a dual boot.

    But now I came to realize that the games I download are taking up more room on my C drive. The problem I have is that I can reduce my recovery partition and expand the C drive.

    Does anyone know a work around?

    You will need a 3rd party software to reduce the recovery partition and add the partition of the free space in the existing C.
    I would recommend a freeware tool called Gparted

    But before you start this making, create a recovery disc!
    This is recommended in the case where you would try to put the computer laptop configuration using this disc.

    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".
