HP Recovery Manager - recover Windows 8 to new ssd

Hello

I want to build in an additional ssd to my desktop HP Pavilion 500-035ed. I bought the desktop computer with Windows 8 is installed.

Later, I created a d-partition for my data. Currently 8.1 for Windows has been installed on the c partition so my data on the d partition on the same hard drive.

When I do a recovery with the HP Recovery Manager:

  • can I select the new ssd for the recovery of the W8? Or will be installed on the original c drive W8?
  • can I connect volume c: to the new ssd?
  • will be d: partition (containing my data) stay in place?

Thanks in advance.

Hi again,

Disabling the drive HARD and then recover with the recovery HP for the SSD disks worked fine.

Now upgraded to W8.1 and then I activate the HARD disk to make the data reader.

Thank you for your good recommendations!

Kind regards

SJW

  • Problems accessing the HP Recovery Manager after the installation of new copy of Windows 7.

    I have the HP Pavilion dv6 (2043us) originally with Windows 7 Home Premium. A recent storm crossed in my area, which seems to me to be the cause of a corrupt hard drive file that prevented Windows startup. My extra fathers using copy of Windows 7 Ultimate (is a prominent IT guy for his company, he has a lot to lose) I decided to install it from that rather than using the HP Recovery Manager in order to save my files (Windows Startup Repair and system restore failed, and to restore the default factory was not desirable) as I mentioned it because of my desire to save my documents) I have installed on the same partition as the original windows, allowing files to be viewed in Windows.old.

    However, after all that, I came to the will to restore the default settings. However, after you press (esc) and (f11) to access the Recovery Manager, it is bring up the Windows Startup logo and the login screen. Is it possible to access the Recovery Manager and restore the default settings? If so, how should I do this? As I said, I left all the original parts intact, so I do not think it is possible after some research, but I'm not sure how to start the process.

    This method to get the active recovery partition was first introduced to me by Cheryl here on the site. It may or may not work.

    Right-click on computer and click Manage > search in the list on the left, and then open disk management. You should see the recovery partition it. Click right and whether it is active and the next time that you start it up, it should boot into the recovery partition and restore back to the factory.

  • HP Recovery Manager in Windows 7

    I have HP Pavilion DV5 - 1111en with Vista Home Premium, but my little doughter hard disk crash and the operating system unbootable.

    I change the hard drive with a new one and also I change the OS with Win 7 Home Premium. I reinstall all the drivers, the laptop works very well.

    Using an external hard drive I plug the old hard drive and I see that the HP_Recovery partition is intact. How can I recover my old files?

    I can't find HP Recovery manager for Win 7.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    If you installed a retail version of Windows 7 (IE not an HP upgrade) you wil cannot find HP Recovery Manager, because it is only supplied with the OEM version of the operating system from HP.  As you have Windows 7 DVD to reinstall the OS, it is not really necessary anyway.

    The recovery Partition, you can see when your old HDD looking at just the files etc to reinstall the old operating system (Vista), it will not contain any of your files, photos, etc.  To locate these, if they are not corrupt, look in the old HARD drive C:\ partition.

  • Backup and HP Recovery Manager for Windows 7

    I installed all the software and drivers that came with the HP upgrade DVD. But, I found that the Backup and Recovery Manager missing on DVD. Is there a Backup and Recovery Manager for Win 7? I liked the manager backup and restore that was available on my Vista, when I bought this laptop, but is currently unavailable due to upgrade! All the solutions for this? I don't want to use the default Windows Backup that I don't have a separate HARD disk for the time to store the backup here and do not want to fill up my hard drive with data backup! Thank you.

    Ok thank you. I have my recovery partition intact Vista. So I think, I should be able to recover if I have some kind of problem! I was able to find a backup and recover in Win 7 itself. Maybe I should wait for the software will be released by HP. Thank you once again!

  • Can't find Recovery Manager for Windows 8

    I have a new HP Envy 7300 dv6t laptop.  I have it turned on twice.  First time I created only my computer name and the name of the user ID and the password.  Second time (a few minutes ago), I activated Windows 8 and goes immediately to create system recovery discs.  I typed in the search box "Recovery Manager", clicked on it and chose "Create recovery media."  He then gave me the message "You are allowed to create a set of recovery media" which I clicked "I agree."  Then he took me to the screen that says "Please insert one of the following media.  (I was following a you tube explanation of how do and so far everything was fine.)  However, when it came to the screen, it appeared (tube video of you), I had to click on my choice of media, I was going to use (flash drive, DVD or DVDDL.)  However, nothing would happen when I tried to click on "DVD".  Instead, below the choice to use, the "gear" kept spinning icon, acting like he was going to do something... but she kept spinning and spinning.  As it says at the top "Please insert one of the following media", I thought that maybe I needed to put in the DVD.  So I did.  Still nothing.  The engine continued to run.  So I thought that maybe the computer has been suspended.  So I took out the DVD and closed off Recovery Manager think I'll try again.  Now, however, when I type in the search box "Recovery Manager", nothing comes.  Just the message "no parameters corresponding to your research."  Certainly, I can still do these disks, right?  Certainly my time 'one' is not gone because I liquidated.  Please someone help me!  Thank you

    In fact, I restarted the computer and it's back!  Yes!  Now I'm doing the disks.  It takes 6 discs and I'm on disc 6 now.  However, 3 times that day I received a message saying something to the effect of "try again... it didn't work."  So, I intend to call HP in a few minutes, because 2 of these 3 times it was on disk 6 and I have 2 discs left.  However, the INITIAL problem was that my driver optical (or whatever it's called) was not working so HP had me uninstall and reinstall the driver.  Apparently with Windows 8, there are just a bunch of problems that need to be developed. I think that they also said that they have problems with the system recovery discs.  So, if someone is reading this and experiencing problems, you can just give them a call and tell them it has to do with the system recovery.

    Please notify.

  • Pavilion - 17: HP Recovery Manager and Windows 10

    I just bought my computer and it came with Windows installed 8.1.  I booked 10 Windows so I'll receive the upgrade when this OS is available.  I want to create a set of recovery, but if I use HP Recovery Manager now there 8.1 Windows to create the game.  Can I wait a few weeks and then create recovery discs after that I have 10 windows?

    Recovery partition contains windows 8.1 - it will create only windows 8.1 recovery even if you install Windows 10, 8 or 7.

    The copy of windows 10 you will get is from microsoft and not the HP and it's free.

    so if you need to re - install, you will need to install windows 8.1 and then perform the upgrade again.

    You can also download win10 ISO and burn it to a disk or create a bootable USB Flash drive to install from and to use your microsoft account to activate win10.

  • TouchSmart 15: HP recovery manager and windows update

    Hello

    I'm having two problems:

    1. I had the problem with my Recovery Manager, whenever I try to start it, it gives an error window "Manager recovery HP has stopped working" and then it stops the Recovery Manager.  Please notify.

    2. in the past I was running Windows update via the Recovery Manager, but given that the Recovery Manager was down, I would just run Windows update in Control Panel.  But now, even the Windows update cannot be started too.  It will just get stuck to the icon without other formalities when I double click on it.  Help, please.

    Hi @yawbus ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I noticed your problem on your laptop 15 TouchSmart of jealousy and issues with the HP Recovery Manager. Here is a document that shows you how to start the Recovery Manager differently that might help. Turn it on and press F11 to run the recovery without starting Windows. It offers you the option to reinstall the software.

    Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of de-emphasizing HDMI cables, because these could create problems.

    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant, if you need it. Simply download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that may need updating.

    You run a virus or firewall software protection program? This could block the updates. You can temporarily turn off and make updates.

    I'd be happy to help you if necessary. How can I find my model number or product number?

    Please let me know.

    Thank you.

  • G62 - 219CA: possibility to backup/clone recovery Partition just before installing the new SSD?

    I'm considering buying an SSD of 256 for my older G62 - 219 CA.

    I can sort of back up or clone JUST the recovery partition, so when I install the new SSD I can put back them there and have this convenience for later use?

    I can't close my b/c the entire hard drive SSD will be too small in relation to the original drive.

    Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    ToddNS

    It is not really possible to save or to clone the recovery partition. Your best option is to create the support of HP recovery using the Recovery Manager or to order HP media to DVD - Windows 7 64B doublespeak (Office 2010) + Supp 1 Recovery Kit.

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

  • Reinstall Windows 7 on new SSD after failure of hard disk, damaged, incomplete product key

    I have a HP Pavilion.  The HARD drive recently failed completely, no possibility to recover data at the moment.  I ordered a set of HP recovery disks, but they seek the recovery on the HARD drive partition; There is no such partition that I replaced the HARD original with a new SSD drive.  To make things worse, the place that HP has chosen to put the Microsoft product key sticker resulted in the product being partially faded key.

    So, to summarize: HP not Pavilion with a corrupt OEM HDD and so far no data recovery possible. a new SSD with no partitions on this subject; a set of recovery disks from HP that don't just work; a sticker with the product key with the first two digits of the product key (as well as some of the barcode, etc.) rubbed off because they have chosen to place the sticker on the bottom of a working computer instead of, say, under the battery, it can be protected.

    If someone in the community has a suggestion as to how to install Win 7 (must be 7 on this system, cannot be an iteration of 8 or 10) from scratch, without having to buy it and with a corrupt OEM disc and a partial product key, I'd love to hear it.  Maybe it's time to install Debian on it?

    Ahh, this is the crux of the problem... the bootmgr is missing.

    To restore the windows off the factory restore DVD, you must configure the BIOS to use the DVD drive as the primary boot device. The machine will then start on the first DVD, and you will not get the above message.

  • Re: Portégé R700 - how to install Windows 7 on new SSD?

    Hello!

    I want to change my HDD in Toshiba Portege R700 to SSD. How to install Windows 7 on this new SSD? I don't have any Windows installation disc.

    Or that it will be possible to move the partition of the old HDD to new SSD (using Acronis, I could move the partition on the new HARD drive)?

    I've heard of partition offset and this SSD block should be the same as FAT cluster (the same alignment).

    All advice? (I know should I defragment my HARD drive before moving :))

    Hey Buddy,

    > I do not have any Windows installation disc.
    Create the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the manual of the user before you exchange the disc, then you have a Setup disk. The Toshiba recovery disc will restore parameters of the box with all the drivers and tools. It can be used on each disc and how many times you want.

    After this change the drive and start the Toshiba recovery disc. Follow the instructions on the screen and everything will be installed.

    Check this box!

  • Presario CQ61-110SL: upgrade for laptop Presario CQ61-110SL from XP to Windows 7 with new SSD EVO 840

    In fact on Presario CQ61-110SLI I have XP installed the Vista of origin instead.

    Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and contestually get a new SSD Samsung 840 rather original EVO... What is the correct procedure?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    There is no procedure to upgrade from XP to Win 7, it would be clean installation.

    1. place the SSD drive in the machine instead of the HARD disk

    2. start the installation of Win 7 disc to install Win 7 (best x 64 edition)

    3 install the drivers of the machine, you can download from >here<

    Windows 7 is optimized to work with SSD, there will be no problem.

    If you have important data on your old HDD, you can either save it before (on external support, USB key, Cloud solution, etc.)  or after it (via a USB cable plugged into the laptop as external drive). This is also an option to transfer data.

    Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Happy holidays!
