• Change HARD drive can always use recovery disk to reinstall Windows?

  I have a HP dv7-4296nr, partition recovery and recovery disks. Now, I want to change the current HARD drive to the new HARD drive. But I wonderring after I change the HARD drive, can I use the restore disc I burned before reinstalling windows?

  Hello

  Yes you can.  Your existing set of recovery disks will not only install the operating system on the new hard drive, but will also reinstall all of the original software that came with your laptop as well as re - create the Partition D of recovery on the new drive.

• How to format and re - install Windows 7 using recovery disks/Partitions?

  Hello..

  My product-

  HP DV4-5109tx

  Windows 7 (64-bit)

  I have a free space of 78 GBs that I'm not able to use... As when I try to use the "disk management" and right-click on the free space to "format partition" this option has been grayed out... !!

  Please suggest if I can use this space without formatting? (I was suggested for formatting)

  In addition, due to some other issues too I want to format my Windows (and reinstall) IE drive C so that the free space problem can be solved... Also I don't want no data in my other drives to be formatted...

  I have the recovery partition and the recovery disks sent by HP...

  Please help me how I can use them to solve my goal...

  Thank you

  It's simple, as I suggested in my previous post.

  Once you have a drive like the one on the image management window simply click New Simple Volume. Create a new partition called "New Volume". Make a right click on it and the option to format it will appear.  The strips on the 75,38 GB of free space in your image indicates that the selected action will take place on this point in the disk management window. You can change the name for the new volume in Windows Explorer.

• How the recovery disk creator actually works?

  I read on the forum on the recovery disk creator and I'm a bit confused... in the name, it becomes obvious that he is indeed a creator, but I have no thread caught my attention which in fact is to create a recovery disk. How does it work? Of course, it is used to restore the system to the default settings, but you can make your own backup copies recovery of the State, the system is now? Or do all the recovery discs take you where it all begun so to speak...

  And if I could create my own presets, restrictions on the amounts of images? And he brings with him all that is installed in the time that the image was created?

  As I made clear in my previous posts, I have not bought the thing... It's in the mail. I'm just getting ready for the terrible experience of how things can go wrong when I don't have the original DVD of Windows in my hands :)

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  So many questions! I'll try to help you with unclear words.

  In the latest Toshiba has delivered laptop computers equipped with recovery media. Very old computers laptop Toshiba created mainly two CD recovery and newer laptops a Recovery DVD.
  This recovery DVD was in the box with the notebook.

  This recovery CD/DVD contains a recovery image. Recovery image can be installed on the laptop and after that each installation of the laptop will have factory settings the same state that you have when you start your laptop for the first time.
  Recovery image contains the system operations, drivers, Toshiba and utility tools and some additional software. Therefore, after you install the recovery image, you should not install drivers or additional software. Everything is done for you.

  Then, new notebooks, as your Satellite Pro A300-1EA, are not delivered with a separate recovery media and all those who buy the laptop must / should create a clean copy. This copy can be used for installations of operating system further. For recovery, multimedia creation Toshiba has designed special tool and it is designed to create recovery media ONLY.

  To start the tool, select the media you want to use (I recommend DVD - R), put the media in the optical disc drive and click Create.

  In fact the recovery image is saved on the HARD drive and placed on the second partition in the file called HDDRecovery.
  Still, there is one thing. If nothing is changed on the system, partitions, and if this folder is not removed, you can install operating system whenever you want, but without using recovery media.

  It is simply procedure. When the laptop starts press F8 and you will enter the advanced startup options. The first is called to fix my computer. Enter it and follow the on-screen menu. After two stages, you will see the window with several options and the last recovery option.

  So please create DVD to be on the right side of recovery.

  If you have any other questions please ask. Someone here will help you for sure.

  Good luck!

• Recovery disk is deletes the data at the 2nd disk on Satellite A300?

  Hello
  I use a laptop Toshiba A300, which has 2 hard drives (250GB). The laptop has Windows Vista Home Edition 32-bit installed, but I want to change for Windows Vista 64-bit, which comes with the recovery disk, in order to use all 4 GB of RAM.

  I have all the backup data and move them to the 2nd HARD drive (D, C named first name).

  So I wonder if Recovery Wizard will delete the data of the two hard disks or just a 1st.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Your laptop was equipped with HARD drive recovery option allows you to create the own Toshiba Recovery disk which would be contains the preinstalled operating system.
  In your case the Vista 32 bit.

  And Yes, install from the recovery disk format the whole HARD drive and removes all the disk, also of the second partition.

  That's why to create the recovery disk before you install or change anything on the HARD drive

• Windows recovery disk... Vista and 7

  I don't really know much about windows, but my computer must be restarted with a recovery disk but my laptop doesn't have one it comes with windows already on it when purchased... It came with windows vista and I don't know where I have to buy a drive for recovery for her because that's all I want, but I was wondering too... Can I buy a windows 7 and have my laptop back so it will take 7 instead of vista or I can only do drive recovery vista first then buy windows 7?

  Hello

  You must purchase Windows 7 and that you do not use a Windows 7 disc to recover Vista.

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  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.

  "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

  "How to do a clean Windows 7" install

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-Windows-7-a.html

  And do the following before you start:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• When windows asks me to isnert a password recovery disk, it does not offer the possibility to create one in the D drive, where I have a DVD. Why?

  I have a new Dell XPS with Windows 7 Home computer. I want to create a password recovery disk. I have (1) check my CD/DVD drive works (2), I watched the video on how to create a password reset disk (3) I did the procedure successfully in the past on other computers (4) I rebooted the computer after having difficulty finding the opportunity to insert a disk in drive D, the name of the drive for my DVD / CD player. What is the problem?

  The problem is that when I am asked to insert a disc in the player I'd give myself a choice is not drive D, the name of the drive to my CD/DVD drive.
  So over and over again once I wonder to insert the disc. I also have one of these drives you can put 4 holders memory size different from the type used in cameras and I have a DVD player, it is called D drive.  Why I'm not given the option to use drive D when I'm given a choice I can insert a disc so that the password recovery disk can be created?

  Change the assignment of drive letter for the dvd player to one letter other than.

  1. sign the computer as an administrator.

  2. Insert a disk in the removable drive.

  3. type computer management in the start search box and press ENTER.

  4. click on disk management.

  5 right-click the partition, logical drive or volume that you want to change and then clickchange drive letter and paths.

  6. click on the removable drive, click it, clickchange, click the drive letter that you want to use, and then clickOK.

• Bought the new model of HP m8530f... impossible to create the recovery disk?

  Bought above the pc about 3 months... still new to all this, I'm just a simple user of office applications and surfing.  Fallen on the disk recovery and reading that you can create your own recovery disk or the order of HP.

  Once again, the pc brand new.  I was all order from HP, but saw wanted to try to do it myself and save $20.  I followed the steps, arrived at Recovery Disc Creator, the moment where I click Next I get an error like this:

  "A recovery disk set was created for this pc. That one game is allowed per pc.

  WTF?  It was brand new, out of the box!

  All this experience?  I really don't want to pay HP $20 when I can make myself at home.  However I can not because as the "already created recovery disc?

  What can I do?

  I was able to connect and discuss with a representative of HP.  They have made an exception and will betray me a free recovery disk!

  Now, that's service! That means a LOT to me!

  Thanks for your suggestion to CherylG!  I have not found this file, that you suggested... and not an expert to change the extensions of file... so don't go any further!

• Satellite P10-304: 2nd recovery disk does not work

  Help, please!?!

  I have a buyer waiting and everything seems to be Dutch!

  Hello

  It's not easy to say what's wrong with the 2nd recovery disk.
  I would recommend formatting the HARD drive completely and try again to recover the operating system. If it doesn't work, well try to contact Toshiba. Here, you can order the recovery CD. Maybe the problem of recovery will be solved as a gesture of goodwill.
  Nevertheless, the recovery cd is not expensive.

• Satellite L500-20 X - no recovery disk

  Hi all

  Since yesterday my Satellite L500-20 x have only called Bluescreens 'Driver not less than or equal'--> Restart! It starts with win7 until the opening of the session, after that reboot every time. I try a lot of things to fix:
  Systemrepair (3Times) and no change
  Recovery of SystemRecovery (per disk HARD no CD) work but always bluescreens and no change to solve the problem.
  Memory check (from Win7) checked 3 times 100% ok.
  Toshiba HDD Recovery (I try several times but it turned off each time by bluescreen process... so I can't do that - unpossible complete recovery!)

  This is the first laptop I have buyed all and I've never heard of a recovery disk - so I don't create one! Now, I can't get in win7 - so I can't create it now. Anyone have any ideas? I want new windows to install... but I do not have the same Win Disk. Win = Win7 64 bit laptop all I have is WIn7 32 Bit for my HomePC.

  I need help!

  Salvation of the beam,

  If you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disk, you can order one at Toshiba directly:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  It's worth a try if HDD recovery option doesn't work properly.

  If you order such a disc and install the original on the HARD drive settings will be restored. A clean install factory with all the drivers and tools (on the settings in the box) will be restored, and if that doesn t work, this seems to be a hardware malfunction
