I'm not clear how to use the recovery CD

I added all the space using my HDD is it comes about 12 GB, I have 27.9 GB of disk space, but my drive has only 1.80 left disk space. I made clear to solve this problem. Basket is empty, I ran disk cleanup.

A computer expert suggested that Windows might have become confused and cannot recognize what place I save, it might be because I ran a program called Cyberscrub often. His solution is to reload Windows XP home. My laptop came with recovery discs, everything else is already loaded. I have so much I don't want to lose on my laptop. If I use the recovery discs, I will lose everything on my computer, am I better off buying Windows XP home and re-load, in which case I will not lose my job?

Also I am not clear how to use the recovery discs, I can't find instructions on what you are doing.
The only person who could help me went to travel and not reachable.
Any help greatly appreciated

It of a very simple to recover the laptop.
Just boot from the recovery CD and follow the instructions on-screen ;)

I put t know what version recovery CD you have, but the older one provides the standard and expert mode. In expert mode, you can choose you partition where the OS is to be installed.
So in this case only the selected partition will be formatted!

But have you checked the size of the HARD disk in disk management?
Simply click on the my icon my computer and choose manage.

Of course, you could remove the internal HARD disk and it could connect to the external USB HDD controller. Then, connect the drive HARD to the second PC and you record data on another HARD drive.

  • How to use the recovery CD?

    Hello

    Ive lost the instructions to tell me how to use the recovery CD. I forgot, I need to press to access the disks when I reboot!

    Can anyone help please?
    St. Clare

    Hi clear, before using the recovery CD make you that all important data has been saved to the floppy or USB key because the procedure will erase the entire hard drive. The method for booting from a cΘdΘrom may vary according to the model number of your laptop, but it's something like hold the 'B' button for the Toshiba Startup logo. If this fails you can try to change the boot sequence or use the Toshiba from Windows or the BIOS configuration tool (ESC then F1 when prompted from a cold start) make CD-ROM the first device startup in the list.

    Hi all... Would like to ask how to use the recovery partition and what is the effect if I used it... ?

    Thank you...

    Hello:

    You normally start the PC, and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, you press the F11 key to start the Recovery Manager program.

    Then follow the instructions to restore your PC to its state of software "out of the box.

    In so doing you re-partition and reformat the hard drive.

    All THE data you have on the PC will be lost.

    So make sure that you copy the files that you want to keep on a portable hard drive before proceeding.

    It is also for if you have created a storage partition. You must copy all the files from that too.

    All partitions are erased and redone.

  • Satellite A45-S250: how to use the recovery CD if the DVD player does not work

    Hi all
    First of all, apologize for my English, I'm french :)

    So my problem is that I would like to re - install everything on an A45-S250 using the recovery CD.
    But the main problem is that the internal DVD player no longer exists.

    I try plugging in an external DVD drive, but the laptop won't start on it.

    I have seen that it can start with a disk, lan or SD card drive. But with opportunities of theses, how power reinstall everything include in the recovery CD?

    I may have a usb floppy drive, so I'll be able to boot from a bootable disk. but then how to start the process of recovery CD?
    I will prefer to use the recovery as a home standart WinXP CD, because I know that the OEM series will not work in an original version of Windows XP...

    Thanks for your help!

    Kubs

    Hello Kubs

    I see only one solution: you have to somehow use external DVD player and make it visible to your laptop. I try didn t, but I guess you need to start your laptop using WXP startdisc and load the MS-DOS driver for external device.
    If you will have success to access external hard drive I guess that you will be able to start the recovery procedure.

    Bartski salvation,

    > but I can't make it work
    And does that mean exactly? You get an error message if you use recovery disks or if you are not able to boot from them?

    Use the recovery disks is very simple: enter the first DVD in your CD/DVD drive and restart your laptop. Depending on your model of laptop, press the F12 key to enter the BIOS boot menu, and then select the CD/DVD drive. Now, the computer starts from the CD/DVD drive with recovery disk. Then follow the instructions on the screen and Windows will re back reinstalled to factory settings (out of box).

  • How to use the recovery disks that I created?

    Original discs of title: recovery

    The computer store fixed my virus but when I come back most of my programs computer had disappeared. I did (as recommended) recovery disks when I came to the computer. How can I re - install what is on the recovery discs?

    Hi B.Frizzen,
     
    You can use the recovery disc for re - install or repair the operating system. It will not contain the programs you use on the computer.
     
    If you have a backup of the programs you use, then you can restore the same thing now, unfortunately you may need to download and reinstall the applications again.

    Hello world

    I was wondering how to use the 2 recovery discs that I burned recently if I wanted to fix my USB ports (as seen in my Toshiba M300 - wire to USB ports)

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    You can use the only recovery disk to reinstall the whole OS!
    This means that the use of the recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive and will set the laptop back to factory settings!

    If you want to use the recovery disk and then insert it into the ODD and the start-up of this disc.
    Then the installation of the OS should move forward and you should follow the instructions on the screen.

    Problem climbed down after turning off suddenly. Initially could not get windows OS to work while I used the recovery disc. After it has been successfully used all of the computer has been cut and will not start (dead whole machine) despite the battery power and common alternative in place.

    When you press power button / stop the led green lights for a second and then immediately turns off, no attempt to start engine.

    Remove the battery, disconnect the power supply, leave the laptop for now and try to start with power current only.

    I'm downgrading my laptop for Windows XP SP2 home edition.
    I formatted all the HARD drive, to make a few partitions.
    A few weeks later I tried to Vista using the DVD recovery system which is included in the package when I bought the camera.
    Unfortunately, the DVD without being detected in the first over.

    Do you have any idea how to use this recovery DVD?
    It is any special program to activate the recovery DVDs?

    When you use the Recovery Manager, it says the system recovery is disabled try to use recovery media creation but the creation of recovery media said that the recovery media has already been created once and it can not be recreated.

He covered about 10 GB of space but whenver that I open it, the file is empty and hp logo appears with instructions that his is set for partition donot change it.
    can someone tell what to do?

    Have the hard drive in the dynamic State breaks the recovery feature. Conversion of back to basics should not delete your data, unless the data is on the extra partition, you have to remove to get the disk hard back to base.
