HP recovery discs will allow me to install Windows 7 on a different partition?

Hello world

I intend on creating a system in multiboot on my HP laptop.  If all goes well, it will run Windows 7, Ubuntu 11.04 and the beta version of Windows 8 when it comes out.  Given that I do a partitioning to make it work, I'll have to reinstall Windows 7.  I wonder if the HP recovery discs will allow me to install Windows on a specific partition or is it just change to factory settings, install Windows 7 and destroy my partitioning work?

Here are my relevant features (although I doubt it's important):

HP Pavilion dv6-3210us Entertainment PC

Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1, 64-bit

Hello

The recovery disks, everything will just return to go back to the factory setting, clear all custom partitions that you may have created.  A round way, that it would be to reinstall Windows 7, remove the recovery partition which will be re-created (and possibly the HP_TOOLS if this applies in your case) and to use the own windows utility to create an Image disk and that record to an external drive.  This can at least give you the option to restore the Image of a selected partition, if you need to.

Kind regards

  • Already having a key, a windows vista HP recovery disk allows you to install Windows on a computer with linux on it?

    My HP Pavilion a6400f had problems years ago I installed Ubuntu Linux. Now, getting fed up with linux, I want Windows Vista back. I still have the OEM key. The HP recovery disk allows me to install WIndows?

    The recovery set supplied with the computer should find the default computer.  Probably will not even need to enter the key.

    Don't forget to patch (probably manually) with SP1 and SP2 after you're done.  Then download the updates (MUCH) released after that.

  • Installed Windows on the bad disk partition (C :) and meant for the recovery disc (e :)))

    Hello world

    My question is that I installed windows vista on the wrong partition. When I tried to do a re-install for partition recovery (e), I saw that the drive (C :) local was still installed with my last error when I first installed it on drive C: (OS) that is full. I didn't want to do, that I was going for the recovery disk (E :).

    If I re - install windows on the recovery disk now, he will have to complete partitions. I'm just completely start over as if I first had an empty space to install an OS right the first time around when choosing the right partition.

    It is on a latitude D630, where the BONE was full and the Data 2 which is the recovery disk (e) has free space that should have (c).

    Any help is grateful, thank you.

    Make sure that the important data that you have on the drive is backed up.

    Thank you

    Hi Victor,

    The answer to your question would be both 'yes' and 'no '.

    IIRC, there is a limit on the number of times your license can be activated via the Internet.

    However, after the limit is reached, you can still call them for telephone activation.

  • Installing Windows twice on a separate partition/HARD drive

    De : mdagli1

    I currently have Windows XP pro installed. (I have XP pro OS here too install disc) Is it possible to install again but at an another partition/disk? (So I have XP installed on a partition, then installed again on another partition create 2 places to start from).

    And if I install using twice the same XP install disc, pourrais I update one of them using a Windows Vista ultimate upgrade disc?

    (That leaves me with XP pro on one partition and Windows Vista on another.)

    Am I allowed to do?

    De : [Antonio Feitosa]

    It is possible and perhaps even legal.  As the 2 operating systems are on the same machine, they cannot run at the same time. You have the right to run XP pro on a single machine. You also have the right to run Windows Vista on a machine using Windows Vista AND XP licenses and the license of Windows Vista is an updrage one.

    The legal concept is the "notion of open book" in the sense that you can not open a book in two places or two pages at the same time.

    Since the machine is the same, you can run Windows Vista or XP using the start menu.

    But to get this work may require a boot manager other than BCDEdit, or use a 3rd Setup disk borrowed from someone. Or to play a few rounds with bcdedit and maybe partition software mgmt...

  • recovery disc will work with the new hard drive

    I have a HP Pavilion dm4. My hard drive died so I installed a new hard drive. The original operating system installed on the computer is Windows 7. I don't have a Windows 7 disc with the computer. If I order the Windows 7 HP recovery disk, it will install Windows 7 on my new hard drive? I got the info from COA. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    If the new hard drive is having even or a larger size than the old, recovery disks will reinstall the factory OS on your new drive.

  • Means of hard drive failure cannot use the recovery partition. Alas! recovery discs will not read!

    Hard drive decided to throw a wobbly and abandon me. I can't access the drive at all so decided to but a new and use the recovery at least discs bring the machine to its status as an out-of-box.

    That's the problem... It will not read the recovery disc. I know there is some stuff about it because I read in another machine. Until you tell me to change the DVD hardware... it reads very well all the other disks. I loaded Arcronis, as well as other system repair stuff, using the DVD Player/Recorder.

    I have a pukka Product Code for the software, Vista Home Basic. Can I get a Vista Home Basic disc and then use my key to sting?  I'm happy to pay a price, but do not want to buy at the price high. After all, I already paid for it once!

    Any help/suggestions will be much appreciated.

    Mr. Blue Screen.

    Hello

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
