HP_tools necessary partition?

• EliteOne 800: HP_RECOVERY and HP_TOOLS missing partition after re-install-why only on one system?

  Short:

  After you have reinstalled Windows Pro 8.1 with the original OS from HP on two EliteOne 800 DVD, I got scores HP_RECOVERY and HP_TOOLS on a PC, but not on the second.

  Long:

  So I got two new 800 EliteOne out of the box, as well with blue screen (iastorA.sys). Sad quality question, but nevertheless, I got the 8.1 original DVD Pro with systems. So I reinstalled completely the two systems. Two BIOSES have the same exact parameters, the two systems are actually identical.

  First installed very well system. The DVD of 8.1 drivers to install all the drivers, including Intel RST and SSD caching.

  I see drive d (HP_RECOVERY) and drive E: (HP_TOOLS). At the time of startup, F11 works. In Windows, diskmanager shows all partitions.

  Now to the second system. Installation went smoothly as well, BUT... I don't see the additional partitions. So F11 will obviously not work.

  What happens here?

  I also recognized that on the second system, the drivers are not installed properly. Installing the software on the drivers disk HP tells me that everything is installed and I need to reboot, but no. On the next check, drivers were not installed.

  What else can I check?

  After that I got a 3rd system with exactly the same issues, I believe that this is a generic problem with this type of system.

  I formatted all drives outside the system. I used the Bootcd (i.e. UBCD) to do the same while the disc was still in the system.  Finally, I was able to successfully install the 3rd system. But I have in vain on the 2nd.

  In any case, I put this in the list of the mysteries. I haven't the time more to study.

  Overall, I am deeply disappointed with these HP systems.

• HP_TOOLS deleted partition

  I recently bought a HP Probook 450 G0 and it came with SuSe Linux Enterprise 11. When I moved to Windows 7 I deleted all scores except HP_RECOVERY.  I am able to recover all the files in the HP_TOOLS Partition and I read that I need to copy in HP_RECOVERY.  I only had like 250-300 MB of free space of 4 GB in HP_RECOVERY and this is not enogh to store all files in HP_TOOLS. I'm also not able to extend the size of it in disk management. What should I do?

  Download the UEFI since your Support page. It will create the HP_Tools partition:

• Reset hardware g580 (delete all partitions)

  I recently bought a g580 with windows 8 is installed. He didn't get any installation media.

  I tried to install linux (the wrong way) and now I messed up my hard drive. The reader has like 8 different partitions and the boot loader invite you to charge me linux, even if it is not currently installed.

  I want to reset my computer to factory settings, delete all my partitions and keep windows 8.

  IE I want to make the computer exactly as it was when I got it, I am more conserned with the hard drive and I want to own, with only the necessary partitions installed.

  Thank you!

  Hi and thanks!

  I actually just installed linux over everything and it works fine so I won't do much to solve this problem immediately.

  I think it is strange that it is so difficult to "reset" a partitions of hard disks. But in any case, thank you for your answer!

• Should I partition the new drive?

  I installed a new hard drive of 320 and then install Windows XP without the disk partitioning. I think it was a mistake since I have a number of questions: i.e., no message of paging to the startup file and the computer is not shut down correctly, all turn off. I need to create a partition?

  In addition, my computer only recognizes the former status of 80 GB from my old drive.

  If you need to upgrade the BIOS then do.  Also, make sure that the rider of the disc is correctly defined (master/slave/Cable Select), if it is the only drive on the IDE controller, you can set it to master.

  The Windows XP Setup program took care of partitioning, there is no need to use other tools of preparation of partitioning or disk when you install Windows XP, Setup will give you a list of available disks and you ask what disk and partition you want to install Windows, it will load if necessary partitioning.  If you select a new disk that has not been initialized or prepared you will be asked and asked if you want to create a partition, Windows cannot be installed on a disk at least a primary partition, the installation program will create the partition before it can go further, you could not install Windows on your new drive if she had no partitions the Setup program creates the partition that invited you to do when you have Windows installed on your new drive.

  Is the new drive the only hard drive in the computer when you installed Windows XP?  The "No paging file" error is usually caused by incorrect drive letter assignments, glitches or mix ups installation can cause problems with possibility of drive letter.  When you install Windows, you must ensure that there is no external device connected to the computer other than the keyboard, mouse and monitor, make sure that there is no USB drives don't, sticks of flash, cameras or printers with readers card connected to the computer, disconnect everything except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.  Having poorly adjusted riders drive can also cause problems, for example have a drive as a slave when it is the only drive on the controller may cause problems or give unexpected results during the installation of Windows.

  Hello
  You use Ubuntu? I see a few issues similar to that leading to the Ubuntu forums. I would consider posting your question there if that's the case for you.

• VCP exam question - the difference between the file exchange and the swap partition?

  I am currently a student at my VCP and stumbled upon a question and was hoping someone could explain the answer offered.  Essentially the question is asking why you must manually create a local VMFS volume.  The possible answers were: files of storage for the service console log, decentralized storage for all the vmkernel vmkernel swap activity Exchange files for virtual machines that are configured locally and swap files from service console for the console service RAM overcommitment.

  It is my understanding that the swap partition has its own format.  When you create the necessary partitions for installing ESX format the swap partition is 'swap', not vmfs or ext - 3.  Then, because the last three options are to swap/activity files, I chose the first choice, storage for the service console logs.  This study guide says I'm wrong and the answer is VMKernel swap files for virtual machines that are configured locally.   Of course, Miss me something here...

  How you store Exchange files on VMFS partition?  I thought that the swap partition is the only place to have to Exchange files, and then it is on its own partition.  You cannot store a partition on a partition.

  Maybe it's the difference between a swap file and a swap partition which is tripping me?

  Search for, swap space as it is usually is a place to store a replica of memory the system for the purpose of managing memory better (usually data that are accessed most often).

  SWAP PARTITION is now, for the ESX SWAP space.

  And the EXCHANGE FILE is for some particular VM swap space that can be used by the guest operating system. The use of this file is managed by VMkernel. Now, this swap file has some different features from the windows of i.e normal swap, linux or ESX swap space space.

• SMART hard disk attributes failed and writing error reading disk

  Hello

  I bought the HP touchsmart tm2 - 2150ca in 2010. So far, everything was fine until last week, the laptop fell and the computer is not able to start. Disk-read write error is popping up. Tried to get the diagnosis of HDD makes nothing happens, is stuck in the initialization screen. Bought a new HDD for it than this one will. Only problem is I have donot have recovery discs. Is there a way I can get it? What is the procedure to get the made disk partition and install the system, hp, etc. in a different partition tools.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  You are welcome.

  First of all, about the recovery Partition, it is never established if you use a set of recovery discs HP to provide a way conveient to reinstall an OEM of Windows version - however this is not really necessary if you're creating a 'detail' to perform the installation, you can always reinstall using this option if the need arises.

  As you will be perfoming the Setup from a retail windows installation disc, this will give you the option to create a partition (use the Option on the Setup screen).  Unless you have a particular need to create customized partitions, you can leave Windows Installer for the "unallocated space" - this will automatically create a "System Partition" which is hidden and the main partition of Windows C.

  HP_TOOLS (E) partition will be created automatically by installing the UEFI diagnostic software.

  Kind regards

• Format HARD drive or re - install

  Pavilion g6 1201-tx. Win 7 HB 64 bit. HARD drive 640 GB.

  For a year now, I bought g6. I think g6 went too slow, clumsy, and it does not give me performance as expected from it.

  So should I format drive HARD whole, delete all partitions, repartition the and do all of these tasks and then re-install OR

  should I just re-install Win 7?

  Issues related to the:

  (1) should I use the recovery discs to re - install Win 7 or I can download a newer version of Win 7 HB 64 bits from Microsoft so that it will contain all the updates?

  (2) If I use recovery disks, then it will format my default HARD drive or there is the option to choose the partition to install? He'll take care of the boot (partiton ID:0) partition ?

  It will create HP_TOOLS and partition recovery again on my HARD drive as it was when I bought my g6?

  (3) If I install downloaded Win 7 HB, which HP software are a MUST to install as software framework and mention also why necessary?

  (4) I want to install 1 or several Linux distributions, then what should be the order of partition? Such as:

  C for Win 7
  D for the personal data
  E for Linux
  F for Swap
  G for Linux_2
  and so on.

  Who should be the extended partition ?

  How much space should be given for Win 7: C drive? 50 GB enough for all the software basic / essential?

  I have to manually resize the aura boot partition? What should be its size. 200 MB? I want to install Linux so GRUB can take more space.

   

  Thank you!

  Say hello to new VAHPG6.

  The boot partition will be formatted by the recovery process.  I don't think, however, that you will need more than 200 MB to install GRUB.  So, I'd leave this one partition.

  This guide should be useful for the dual-boot.  If you read the section about dual boot Vista and Linux (with Vista installed first), he must have some of the answers you're looking for.  Windows Vista is pretty close to Windows 7 that the instructions would be the same.

  Have a great day.

• Format a new external hard drive

  I have a new external HD to format for OS X.

  http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?ID=1490

  I'll use for the backup of photos (in addition to other backups I have).

  1. do I need to do a Partitions (TLE say to choose a single Partition and perhaps other documents coming in another Partition)?

  Or I can make 2 folders: one for photos and other documents - both on the same a Partition? If no necessary partition...

  2. If I have to make a Partition (s), can I have them before deleting the disk or after?

  Thank you.

  

  If you erase the disc you will erase all partitions and volumes of storage on the disk.  You don't need to create separate partitions for images and documents, but you can if you wish.  Think of it as a drawer inside a closet - you want to store your photos in two separate drawers or in the drawer?  When you allocate space in a partition of that space is reserved for that specific partition.

  A partition is logically a storage device is divided into separate storage parts.  When a partition is formatted with a file system, it becomes a storage volume.  You need at least one partition formatted in order to at least have a single storage volume to store files on a storage device.

  My question is how to partition the new drive to the factory specifications. What size C:\ should be D: how big. In addition, where the operating system will, C: / or D: /?
  
  Have a full backup, 7 DVD-R 4.7 GB discs. A matter of addition have the original installation disks to do a format on the new drive but for, BACK, NTFS?

  You'll need the whole recovery DVDs made you re - install the OEM WIN 7 Home Premium licensed. It will create the necessary partitions. If you buy the new DVD from HP, you must also this.

• Can I use a card SD of exfat?

  I have a class 10 32 GB micro SD SDHC. I formated with exfat, and now the phone cannot use it. It just says that it is damaged.

  Question 1.

  Can the use of photons Q exfat formatted SD card.

  Question 2.

  SDHD card can be formatted for use exfat in the first place, or is that for SDXC cards?

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  I think if you reformat the card in the form of fat, your phone would be able to see and it. I don't know any phones currently usable by exfat.

  I format your card in fat, then put the card in the phone and format using the phone. This will add all necessary partitions.

  I hope this helps.

• Repartitioning and system restore issues

  I have a laptop Pavilion DV6-6193 running Windows 7 x 64 Edition Home Premium, and I want to set up in an environment multiboot (Fedora, Ubuntu, Win7 Professional and the existing Win 7 Home Premium). However, since the original factory configuration created 4 primary partitions (C, D, HP_Tools, System), I have to convert the C: partition to an extent of logical drives that I need to create.  I created recovery DVD the day I brought the computer home laptop, and I have a few questions (sorry if this post is a little long - thanks for reading!):

  (1) if I change the configuration of the partition (creating the C extended partition with logical drives of different sizes), can the recovery CD restore a full wipe and system drive if I need to restore the drive to its factory condition, no matter how I manipulate the partitions of the plant or make these discs just restore C drive : ? The process of recovering factory State would work if I reformatted the drive completely?

  In other words, the recovery CD still work if I change the factory partition scheme, and they go to work, will be the Act of destructive recovery process to reformat the entire disk and recreate it as it was the day he left the factory (C, D, [Active] system and HP_tools of the score), what I need?  I did not understand if this is the case, or if the recovery process would simply restore the C: drive and the hidden system partition (not actually a complete restoration).

  (2) I thought to use the native Windows 7 system image tool to create an image of the entire disk in case I need to restore it, but given that the HP_tools hidden partition is FAT32 formatted, I can't image with native Windows tools. As I understand it, this hidden partition contains related software of the UEFI BIOS, so I don't want to reformat the hard drive and lose this partition if it cannot be recreated by the recovery disks.  Is there any software free imaging that can image and restore the entire disk, even if it contains partitions FAT32 and NTFS?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello

  Your recovery disks will return the laptop to its factory condition (IE with the four primary Partitions you have now), no matter how you have partitioned the HARD disk in the meantime - in fact, when you use the discs, there is no way to avoid this, it is important to backup the contents of any custom partition because they will be erased by the recovery process.

• Program for caching disk ssd Y580

  Currently I have my OS installed on my 32 GB SSD - drive on the lenovo y580. Recently, I discovered that I shouldn't have installed here, but the HARD drive disk and use the SSD to cache. What program should I use for caching because Y580 is not supported RAID. And when my OS on the SSD, should I just re - install on the HARD disk drive. But I have some personal data like pictures, movies, music, and documents on the HARD drive. If I install windows then I lose them. They are important to me!

  Hello

  Here's the solution provided on article

  You will need to erase the SSD partitions, so you will need to have your operating system installed on the HARD drive first.

  To resolve this issue, first delete the primary partition on the mSATA SSD and then install the ExpressCache software. The ExpressCache Setup will automatically create the necessary partition cached on the mSATA SSD.

  1. Open the Start Menu, type DiskMgmt.msc and press ENTER to start the Disk Manager.
  
  
  2. At the bottom of the disk management window, identify the mSATA SSD device. The mSATA SSD 16 GB is 14,91 GB. The mSATA SSD 32 GB is 29,82 GB.
  
  
  3. The mSATA SSD can contain a 'Data2' score with a D: or E: drive letter. If so, check for any saved files on the device. If the files exist, you can move them to the C:\ drive.
  
  
  4. Delete the primary Partition on the mSATA SSD by right-click on it and choose 'remove the Volume '.... "in the menu that appears. Click 'Yes' to confirm the action.
  
  
  5. There are at least 29GB of unallocated on the mSATA SSD space.
  
  
  6. Download ExpressCache from the following link that corresponds to the installation of Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit):
  
  
  • 32-bit Windows 7
  
  
  • 64-bit Windows 7
  
  
  1. Install ExpressCache by double-clicking the installation file downloaded in step 6 and follow the on-screen instructions. Reboot as prompted.

• HP dv7-6b50eb: HP recovery launches the cloned SSD, impossible to install win7 on the SSD.

  Hello

  I recently bought an SSD to accelerate my HP DV7. So I tried to clone my previous 1 TB to my 250 GB SSD hdd, but it seems that it's quite simple. :-(.

  I have created the exact same partitions (with the same size, orders, except for my main Windows partition type of course being given my SSD is much smaller) on the SSD as on my old Hdd. After that I made an exact copy of each 3 partitions (HP Recovery partition, system and tools Hp) but instead of copying the windows partition, I left a void on the SSD as the size of the Windows on the old hard drive partition is larger (the data) than the available size on the remaining on the SSD partition. I thought that I could boot on the SSD drive and start the restore process to install Win7 on the empty partition. But when I restart the pc, it does not seem to recognize the boot SSD partition, he prefers not to say "No operating system found".

  I also tried to activate the 3 partition directly (which is the recovery partition) to directly on boot as the partition, but it did not work either. The partition to activate before it was the 1st partition (which is the SYSTEM partition), but he has not worked either.

  Can someone help me do that cloning to work?

  FYI, I did the cloning and the creation of the partition using fdisk and dd on ubuntu.

  Thank you.

  Hi Wawood and Mista B,.

  Thanks for your comments I have a previous message, but strangely I have not found trace of the previous message, maybe I forgot to press the 'POST' button:-s.

  In any case, I was thinking that I understand your remarks Wawood but my goal isn't specifically for the windows on my new SSD partition (not interested in reducing the windows partition, it is just a statement), it was ok for me to any re - install from the recovery partition, a windows 7 from scratch.

  And I'd say Mista B by saying that it would have been stupid HP do not allow someone to use the recovery on the same pc partition, just because it has a different hard drive.

  Finally, I managed to do what I wanted to for those who are interested (HP is not so stupid after all:-p), here's the method I used to clone my hard drive of 1 TB to my 250 GB SSD and keep all the native HP (recovery, hp_tools, System) partitions with a 1 TB hard drive works correctly.

  So what I have is:

  -J' put the SSD as a second drive on my laptop (I guess it should work in the same way if connected by USB)

  -J' I started my pc and downloaded the EaseUs partition master

  -J' ran the program and began by doing a thorough cleaning of the SSD

  -J' made a copy of the system partition of my hard drive of 1 TB to my SSD

  -J' made a copy of the partition my hard drive of 1 TB HP_TOOLS to my SSD

  -J' made a copy of the recovery of my 1 TB hard drive partition to my SSD

  -J' created a new empty NTFS partition in the remaining partition

  I'm done with the same exact score as agenda in my 1 TB HDD.

  1. THE SYSTEM

  2 NTFS empty

  3 recovery

  4.HP_TOOLS

  After that my SSD was not bootable, because the MBR has not yet been copied.

  Then I started a live CD of Ubuntu and I installed boot-repair and he ran.

  I chose the advanced options and set set the mbr and boot from the partition 3.

  I then put the partition recovery (partition 3) as being ACTIVE.

  I removed the hard drive of 1 TB of the laptop (to avoid any error during execution of recovery which ends with the recovered 1To:-p) beeing and replaced it with the SSD.

  I then rebooted the laptop and it starts directly on the recovery partition. I finished in the recovery strategy (I could not choose the recovery from an earlier point in time given that the windows partition is empty (no windows backup)).

  I chose over the full restore, the slight recovery with only OS and drivers and it does the job of recovery. Now that the of what I write this resolved thread :-).

  Hope this helps some people out there with the same questions.
