• Format HARD drive, delete the recovery partition and recover with disc

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite C660D-17F and want to format my HDD, remove the recovery partition and recover the preinstalled Windows 7 and other software. I don't want to keep my own data, which are all stored already, I just want to be sure I can safely restore preinstalled stuff. I have a few questions that I need help to clear up before I go ahead.

  Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition? If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?

  I found [this post | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/items/faq/71] which explains the recovery process. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that? It will restore the OS and the software for the backup of dvd drive? Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?

  Added SIDENOTE:
  I actually prefer to be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I'm after. Or is there a way?

  Sorry, I know that was a long post, but I want to be sure of what will happen BEFORE I'll and spoil things! :) If you got this far, thanks for reading. :)

  Hello

  I will try to offer help. ;)

  Yes. Saved on recovery discs recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, specific Toshiba and utility tools and some additional software.
  > If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?
  Preinstalled Toshiba Recovery creator make recovery disc that includes the recovery image only. It has nothing to do with your personal data.
  > I found this post that explains the process of recovery. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that?
  After that, you should use recovery disks created for the recovery image installation.
  > Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?
  When you use the recovery disc for your laptop recovery image installation will have factory settings which include the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. To be honest I do not understand why you do not want to have this recovery image on the HARD drive. This allows the installation of recovery using recovery of HARD drive option. But of course you can delete it later for more free space on your HARD drive. Installation image that you can always use created for recovery discs-recovery DVDs.

  Fix.

• How to FORMAT my hard drive with a RECOVERY PARTITION and my system restore from. BKF files

  History made as short as possible.

  I inherited a gateway with XP Media Center 2004. I transferred all my old files to the new computer, and it worked fine. I did a full backup of the system (.) BKF). Later, I installed a disc for my Vivitar camera I used before with my old system and my computer crashed.

  I tried everything I know to do a restore. F8, F10 and F11 during start-up and the best I could come up with was the safe MODE, but it would fail to any ENTRY.

  I really feel like the hard disk must be formatted and start over. I can not access the recovery partition and no XP CD was provided.

  My question is: How can I reformat the hard drive with a petition of recovery and reinstall my operating system of BKF files?

  If you have a recovery partition, I suggest you post in the forums of the bridge

• Remove the Dell recovery partition and create a data partition

  Hello world

  Two years ago, I bought a Dell Inspiron N5110. In addition to the existing windows partition, I wanted to add a partition Ubuntu as a partition of data (NTFS). Well, I added the Ubuntu partition, but because of the Dell recovery partition (14.65 GB, used 7,69, formatted to NTFS), I had no primary partition left to create a data partition. I did not had the time to solve this problem so far.

  Here you can see the different partitions. 4, 66GB there is the linux swap partition and the 18.63 is the linux partition. Of course, they are contained in an extended partition that is created during the installation of linux using GParted.

  Basically, what I would do, is to remove the recovery partition. I did not throw a look inside, but I read that as it contains bootstrap information, as well as win7 boot no more if I'm deleting it. The partition is marked as 'active' (in contrast to my main windows partition of C). I guess this is a classic problem, but I couldn't find a tutorial or a satisfactory answer on this forum (I apologize if this is the case). I assume that it is not enough to define steps to activate the recovery partition and assign to the partition c active (i.e. they don't going to critical data recovery to the c partition). Furthermore, I read that repartition your drive could affect the functioning of the emergency recovery partition, is this true?

  Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  Greetings,

  Harald

  Yes, sorry, I had a problem and the image has not been correctly incorporated into my message. Here it comes. Sandra means healthy, active, primary partition means that primary partition. However, you will notice that windows see the ubuntu partition is a stretch.

  

• Messed up partitions and hard disks into recovery mode!

  I got the bootmrg is missing an error code.  So then I had to download a http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ vista recovery disk and I then placed this .iso file on my usb drive using http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/.  Here I probably should have simply chosen to restore my system from recovery mode, but I decided to mess around with the partitions.  Now, I don't know what I did to my readers and partitions.  Help, please!

  Hello

  This "Recovery" disc Neosmart is not a recovery disk to put anything back to the factory settings.

  He fact that Startup Repair, restore the system to an earlier date, etc.; It's not not to reinstall Vista.

  "but I decided to mess around with the partitions.  Now, I don't know what I did to my readers and partitions.  Please help! »

  And we have no idea what you did to your partitions either.

  I suggest you reinstall Vista; choice regardless of the method, you can go to the methods provided here.

  Different ways 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 (if you have not destroyed it).

  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 right sequence of button...

  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.

• Retrieved using the recovery partition, and now there is no recovery partition

  I restored it at the factory and now there is no recovery partition.

  How do I get that back?

  Thank you

  May I ask how you got the laptop to factory settings?
  Have you used the Toshiba Recovery disk or the HARD drive recovery process?

• Pavilion 15-p045tx: I deleted the recovery partition and I don't have the disc

  I deleted the recovery by mistake partition while I tried to format my hardrives. I have no recovery disks when I bought the new laptop. I need help in getting my laptop to a factory State. Help, please

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

  I'm afraid that, as the recovery partitions are parties and if no recovery media is created, the only way to return to the factory default condition is by buying/getting recovery (DVD or USB pen drive) media. You can get the HP recovery media (website or by contacting HP support - these are the recommended means) or by buying some stores online.

  Here are the instructions > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07143

• HP Stream 13: How do we install 8.1 Windows on HP 13 Stream without a recovery partition and a Windows license key?

  I deleted all the hard drive on my HP Stream 13, including the recovery partition.  I want to reinstall Windows 8.1 on the disk.  I downloaded the ISO of 8.1 of Windows on the Microsoft Web site.  When I try to install it, I get prompted for a product key.  He must see that the material already has a license for Windows 8.1 and not to invite me for a key.  What should I do to get Windows installed 8.1?

  13 Stream is a license for Windows 8.1 with Bing, it does not cover the Windows 8.1 ISO that you downloaded, that's why you're be prompted for a product key.  I heard Windows 8.1 with of the Bing ISO are available, but they are not official.  If you have not created a USB recovery before wiping the drive, you could also buy the HP recovery media or possibly install Windows 10.

• I how to remove the recovery partition and make the entire hard drive, a recovery partition?

  I have two hard drives and the two have a recovery partition. Disk 0 is disk 1 80 GB and 500 GB. I want to remove the recovery on both partition and drive 1 recovery partition. Disc 1 is much older, but I would have preferred free space on disk 0.

  The "recovery Partition" in question is not a thing of Microsoft.  Ask that ever created it (the manufacturer of your computer) which will probably help you not because it's beyond their desire to do so.

  I suggest you create / have external media and numbers of series/product key in another place course of the computer itself.

• VMware converter 4 support for partitions on dynamic disks

  I currently have a server physical windows 2003 which has its system and data partitions defined as dynamic disks (C and D partitions lie on disk 0-dynamic) not well why it's set up this way, it was built just like that.

  The goal is to convert this virtual server and I read many forums stating that dynamic disks are not supported for vmware converter, but some cases have succeeded where the target score was a record time-basic-but-now-dynamics.

  Is this the case? and if so, what alternatives can be tried to virtualize the server.

  Dynamic disks are supported for Windows.  The resulting virtual machine will only basic disks in a hot clone.

  I would just suggest that you make a clone of hot regular and do a slight reduction in the size of the disc resulting (even if it is 1 MB).

  Second, ensure that the system starts out of the c:\ partition and it is marked as a partition active and has a file boot.ini in the root.

• Windows 7 recovery partition and Hp

  Hello! I have a Hp pavilion dv7 with a recovery partition. IM currently on family vista premium, but if I buy windows 7, the installation will remove the vista recovery partition? If so, what can I do to keep it?

  (And if I buy 7, it is possible to descend the slope to vista?)

  Please answer!

  1. When you install W7 that does not alter the recovery partition, unless you choose to do so.

  2 burn your recovery DVD set before moving to Win 7. then it's a matter of booting from them to reinstall Vista, if you want.

• snapshots and dynamic disks

  All,

  VMware documentation States the following:

  • You can not go back to a snapshot with dynamic disks, so suspended snapshots are not used when you restore dynamic disks. Snapshot technology has no visibility into the dynamic disks. Dynamic disks are generally known as specific files of Microsoft systems.

  Dies of what it means that they are not supported at all, or just suspended snapshots are not supported? What confuses me, is that the snapshot technology has no visibility to dynamic disks.

  Well, that needed to be corrected.

  According to vmware:

  Do not use the VMware snapshots for backup of dynamic disks. If you take a snapshot of a dynamic disk (specific Microsoft file system), you will not be able to go back to the snapshot. Snapshot technology has no visibility into the dynamic disks and is unable to preserve the State of suspend to disk files.

  Read this: VMware vSphere 5.1

  So the overall production is no snapshot will be supported in dynamic disks that the State called 'suspended' will not effect and can not make any changes it all by making the previous snapshot version.

  Hope you guessed it.

  Thank you

• Satellite L500-19 - remove the recovery partition and create new

  Hello!

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L500-19th with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). So far, everything is brilliant work.
  I have already created the recovery DVDs.
  As a result, could now delete the partition with the recovery program? I want to use the full space of my hard disk and create partitions as I want.
  But I don't know how I should do this?
  Could you please help me?

  Oxford

  If you are sure that the created recovery DVD is ok at 100%, you can delete all data on the second partition.
  Open Windows Explorer on the left side where is the second partition, click with the right button of the mouse and choose the FORMAT option.
  Choose the quick format option and click START.

  After a minute or two, all data will be gone.

  Please note: in the future when you want to use recovery DVD for installing Win7 the whole HARD disk is deleted and you will lose all your data.
  Using recovery DVD you can not format the C partition only.
