• How to save the hidden restore partition?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660/07u Australian model. UI want to back up just in case s Toshiba recovery partition if a virus etc. How can I do? Because I can't see it on my computer.
  There is also the then hibernation partition which is the Toshibas recovery partition. One is about 1.5 GB and the other is 12.5 gig.
  Help, please

  Hi wsb

  You cannot back up this partition and use it later for the installation of the OS. Access to this partition, you can do if your laptop is only factory settings.

  What you need to do is create recovery DVDs. This recovery DVD, you can use for recovery image installation if something goes wrong. For the creation of recovery disks I recommend you to use only DVD-R media.

• Hidden restore partition...

  The original HD has the OS partition and the hidden restore partition.  Since then, I installed a larger hard drive and installed XP Pro (SP3).  I still have the original HD.  Is it possible to burn an image or a copy of the hidden partition on a CD or a DVD?  And if so, isn't the work of restoration of the original machine?

  Thank you

  Found a small free utility called EASEUS Partition Master 5.0.1 Home Edition. Did exactly what I wanted. Found the partition, a few clicks and then 'display '. Restarted and voila, the restoration of partition ready for burning.

• Satellite A200-10W: can I collect if I delete the hidden partition

  I think Linux installation on my toshiba laptop, but before I do that I have a few questions.

  I noticed I can do with my recovery dvd recovery, but I also have a hidden partition on the HARD drive.
  If I install linux (and modify the original scores) can I still make recovery from recovery DVD I got with my new laptop?
  (If I can't do what are my options to install linux and always perform a recovery to Vista later?)

  Hi Luka

  Yes, you will be able to recover the laptop back to factory settings if you delete the hidden partition.
  In this case, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery CD to get to factory settings.
  The hidden partition is used by Vista. Vista uses this partition for some backups and repair opportunities.
  The use of the recovery CD will format the whole HARD drive and also create the partition hidden too.

• Destructive recovery - hidden restore Partition - Vista 32-bit

  Hello

  I need to do a clean install of vista but have lost all of the disks that came with the computer. How do I access the 'Hidden recovery Partition"(AKA a"destructive recovery") to do the clean install of vista?

  Hello

  If the disks provided with the computer, normally you don't have a recovery Partition.

  Makers you give one or the other.

  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.

  IF you have a recovery partition:

  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. according to the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  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 '

  See you soon.

• partition 'Windows cannot delete the active system partition on this disk.

  I created a partition of HARD drive in order to install a system in multiboot using XP and Vista, but I did mess up the BONES of the two. Now I want to do a clean install of Vista ONLY, but I don't know how to get rid of the partition! * Example: Computer management > disk management > right-click on the volume (M) > Delete Volume * but I get an error: "Windows cannot delete the active system partition on this disk" can someone help me to get my Vista to original?

  P.S. I have the "Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium32 - bit Operating System Disk" provided with my computer when I bought it new. Thank you! -Jeff

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  Delete the existing Partitions during the process.

• Delete the data in partitioned tables

  Hello

  Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 version, running on Linux Enterprise.

  I need to remove all the data from two tables (several 100 million lines each) that are partitioned.

  (1) table 1 is a partition table have varied to a DATE column

  (2) Table2 is a partition of reference table; partitioning is referenced on a relationship of foreign key to Table1 (column: key Table1.Primary)

  As I have no need for data, but want to keep the structure of the table, I would ideally like to delete partitions at the same time that the deletion of the data, so that the 2 tables partitioned and empty.

  Additionally, Table1 has some partitioned index I would be rebuilt as an index unpartitioned (given that Table1 will be empty).

  I thought I would start by removing all partitions of Table1 (via "ALTER TABLE DROP PARTITION nom_partition Table1"), but when the script came to the last partition, I got this error message:

  ORA-14083: cannot delete the only one partition of a partitioned table

  ORA-06512: at "SYS." DROP_PARTITIONS', line 46

  If someone could advise as to the best approach to what I want to achieve with regard to the two tables? Two tables down and recreate them then without partitions would be the easiest way?

  Thanks in advance for any guidance.

  If someone could advise as to the best approach to what I want to achieve with regard to the two tables? Two tables down and recreate them then without partitions would be the easiest way?

  Yes - delete the tables and re-create them.

  As says the exception that you cannot delete the last partition. A table is partitioned either or it is not.

  There was no interest at all to use DBMS_REDEFINITION to redefine tables because you do not want the data anyway.

• Re: Reinstalling operating system on Satellite A100 without deleting the other existing partition

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100-912 and have not reinstalled the operating system (Windows XP) for several years, but now I think that my laptop works well below par. I have my product recovery CD (disk recovery) and it will use for the re-installation.

  I have three partitions on the HARD disk (c, d and e, respectively).

  I was wandering if it would be possible to reinstall (get as long as the factory) my operating system on the c partition without erasing the data (for example my files) on partitions d and e.

  I did this on a Toshiba Satellite L10 using suggestions in this forum, but I don't know how to do it on my own. Is the user interface for the recovery/re-resettlement is not the same thing, so I'm afraid to lose my data if I proceed with the re-install without knowing what to do.

  Could you please say on how to make the re-installation of operating system only on the c partition without deleting (data on) other existing partitions.

  Thank you!

  > I was wandering if it would be possible to reinstall (get as long as the factory) my operating system on the c partition without erasing the data (for example my files) on partitions d and e.

  No, this is not possible. The recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive and therefore the partitions created on the HARD drive would be so removed.
  I recommend you to create a backup of the files before starting the recovery procedure.

• Satellite M70 - no hidden restore partition

  I noticed that many laptops Toshiba hidden partition and recovery DVDs either. I have no partiotion hidden, only the recovery DVDs. Is this normal?

  Yes this is normal. For this former model for computer laptop Toshiba didn't create recovery partition. Satellite M70 comes with recovery DVDs.

  New laptop models are supplied without recovery DVD media, but with recovery image saved on the second partition and each owner of the laptop can create CD/DVD recovery only.

• Deleting the hidden files and directories draining

  My son recently gave my wife his old office.  His run of Windows XP.  I went in the BACK to see what he may have left on the disc and found a lot of directories for games that have not been completely uninstalled.  I don't know what method he used to remove the games, he said it was deleted, I'm guessing he used the method of the program change/remove, but am not sure that I found a lot of directories with files hidden in them.  For example after you type dir /a in c:\my games\mah jong adventures, I found this... 2009-09-10 05:55 listed.  How can I get rid of this?

  Very good, thanks for the info.

• End of life programs remove the D drive which is the system restore partition

  I am running Win Vista Home addition.  I downloaded and installed PowerPoint Viewer 2007.  Now, when I scan with Secunia I get a message that I have an end of life program, 2003 PPV, in my D drive system restore file.  How can I remove an obsolete program from drive D?

  Sorry, but it does not work.  Drive D is partition of the hard disk system restore.  I tried everything to get there, and that cannot be done.

  It may be worth mentioning that I ran a Windows search for files and folders looking for power pint Viewer 2003.  I've included the D drive in the search.  I got a recovery that the file is not found.

  I finally opted for another suggestion and Secunia to ignore this file.  Now, everything seems to be okay.

  Thanks for the suggestions which are appreciated regardless of the outcome.

• Cannot delete the file restored by AV

  My AV has deleted by mistake a file that I use, and after restoring it, I can't access the file at all. I can not run, rename, delete, nothing.

  I have admin access, but I can't view the current owner of the file, or to change. handle also cannot find anything that uses the file in question.

  Your best bet is to contact DrWeb, because we have no idea how it displays (or modifies) permissions and since you feel that the name is not relevant, that we cannot help you.

  Good luck

• Cannot delete the Windows 7 partition

  Recently, my PC has a major problem with Boot Mgr (namely that he could not find it) once I had solved this problem, I was unable to use the partition of Windows 7, so I want to remove it. However, windows Vista won't let me say that the partition is in use.
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• A system totally crashed after downloading the update of windows 7 (from VHP) reloaded vista starting the Dell restore partition and reattach the requirements. Now, how can I restart upgrade

  OK, here's the deal... the Dell laptop had a recurring software validation fixed an error that I couldn't keep. I would fix it, Vista should go out and update itself and then I would reboot and bang, back right to the error again, I decided to scrap Vista and install W7. I corrected the error again once restarted in a stable Outlook, downloaded files of Windows 7 upgrade and then discovered that the netframework wasn't right, so I downloaded this solution, am to halfway through it and got a system error. HA! I'll just copy this download upgrade of the window on a USB key, hover over all my personal files on the usb drive, and reinstall Vista from the Dell partition, which I did. Then, I updated all the stuff with the Advisor to upgrade of windows, is gone in Windows 7 upgrade file I moved it to the USB and realized that this point in time, I was an asshole. What a breakthrough!  OK, now how to restart the upgrade process. I paid the money, done the downloads, message, so my hands, discussed and done all the other stuff I've done since the upgrade of Windows 3.1 (each time). Now what...

  First I would contact the people who sold you download and see if they will send again free of charge - explain the problem.  I guess you still have the product key, they have sent you that shouldn't be a problem (it will work with any download the same version of Windows7).

  Then run Windows7 Upgrade Advisor to see if your system can handle Windows7 or if she need for software or material removed or updgraded: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx.  Follow the instructions he gives as a result of the program (in fact, you should do this first - then you can deal with the download).

  After that, you need to further questions in the Windows7 Forums: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads where people who specialize in the installation and upgrade to Windows7 will be more than happy to help you in the process.  This is a forum for Vista, and you need to talk to experts in Windows7.

  I hope this helps.

• Satellite A200-130: done remove from the hidden partition void warranty

  Hello

  remove the hidden recovery partition will void the warranty on the Satellite A200-130?

  No, certainly not!

  You can delete what you want ;) you can also install a different operating system.

  You would lose the guarantee only if you open and disassemble the laptop or attempt to upgrade not upgradable components such as CPU for example.

  Just for the note; You can set the laptop back to the factory settings using the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  This would create a new hidden too restore partition.
