  There is the hidden for drive recovery partition. now, I've wanted this disk recovery partition removed for more space for important files of video editing.

  I bought the support for laptop recovery CD - I have no need of the hidden partition.

  in the process, I deleted the existing partition (not the hiiden recovery partition) and installed vista ultimate 32 and it lights without problem. I then installed
  the INF chipset utilitty downloaded from the Lenovo Web site, and then installed some drivers downloaded - and all in perfect condition smooth running.

  "" "This applies only to Windows Vista.

  * Make sure that you have backed up your OEM code before deleting the Rugged hidden

  The hidden restore Partition Lenovo is a protected partition, then you will not be able to remove it through disk management as you would with any other normal partition. You can use Diskpart. You can still use these steps to remove the hidden restore partition if you have already done a clean install, but you will need a 3rd party software to combine with the main partition. It is better if you remove the first hidden restore Partition, then cross with a clean install using one of the many guides available on this forum.

  Step 1.
  Burn recovery media. Type "Recovery media" (without the quotes) in the search in the Start Menu. Open the application and follow the instructions.

  Step 2.
  Open the application by typing Diskpart either 'Diskpart' (without the quotes) in the search, or type "Diskpart.exe" in run by pressing Windows key + R.

  Step 3.
  Now with open Diskpart, you must enter the following command lines:

  I. type "list disk" without the quotes and press ENTER.

  II. Type in "select disk 0" and press ENTER.

  III. then type in "list partition" and press ENTER.

  IV. then type in 'select partition x' x = the recovery partition you want to delete (I think it's 1, I do not remember) replace x with the number of recovery partition and press to enter.

  V. finally type in "delete partition override" and press ENTER.

  That should do the trick. Good luck!

• The data stored on the external hard drive recovery

  Hello

  Recently, my PC got corrupted and told me to save my data on an external hard drive before doing a reformat on my PC. In fact, all my data was saved when I update. A few months ago, in may 2014, I backed up my data in the drive C under the section 'My Document ' and also registered in my external hard drive as a backup. Thus, in June, July & the first 2 weeks of August 2014, I updated some data and stored in the 'My documents' file in the C drive. My PC got corrupted last week and told me to do a reformat as a last resort. Before that, I saved all my data (especially my Word & Excel) for my external hard drive to the file 'My Document '. After that the reformatting was made, I downloaded all required applications and try to remove my Excel file, which has the external hard drive, but the data were NOT the updated file, but the file that has been saved 3 months ago!

  So, how can I recover my file up to date which was recorded August 12, 2014, supposedly on my external hard drive, or could it be hidden somewhere in the "C drive"?

  Help, please!

  Thank you!

  Kind regards

• Windows XP Pro do not validate after the removal of the hard drive

  In an older machine, I have a copy of Windows XP Pro, it is validated and worked perfectly fine, until I removed a dying hard drive of the machine, then it is suddenly telling me that the OS is not genuine. I can't get to turn on again in a way that I can think of, and I don't see anything immediately above that might interfere with the activation. I would really not like to re - install the operating system, anyway I can activate it again without doing so would be greatly appreciated.

• I removed my xp hard drive to another computer and now it says I need to 'enable '.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950929/en-us

  I removed my xp hard drive to another computer and now it says that I have to 'activate' and when I try, I get a weird response and they all but hang up on me.  I used this drive for many years, even the screen shows a picture of my table with flowers in a vase.  What is going on?  How can I get this problem?

  Your hard drive, installed on a computer with Windows XP was preinstalled by the computer manufacturer? If this is the case, then you have a "OEM version" of Windows which is linked to the computer first it is installed on and cannot be moved or reinstalled on another computer.

  If however you have a "Commercial" of XP version that you bought in a store, then you should be able to activate by phone, be aware that move the drive from one computer to another is more often go to work and XP may have problems (device drivers and other issues). The best solution is a clean installation (after you back up your data files).

• How to transfer data from laptop to external hard drive?

  How to transfer data from laptop to external hard drive?

  my model is vgn-cr323.

  Thanks in advance

  Let me provide you with General information on how you can transfer data from your computer to an external drive.

  To transfer the data, plug the USB cable into the correct port. Usually, your computer will know that he has a new disc attached and a pop box up will warn you. It will scan to determine what to do with the new connection and your computer will assign a drive letter (for example, drive G: and so on.) This will allow you to transfer data to the external hard drive just like you would move files on your internal hard drive.

  Once you have the USB cable plugged into your computers port (and the other end plugs into the external drive) you can now start to save files you want on the external hard drive.

  Open the item (s) or folder (s) you want to transfer or save on your external hard drive. There are two ways to save external hard disk 1). If you have only one or two things to save, you can open each item, click on file / record under... and choose the letter/drive (for example, drive G corresponding to that of your external hard drive, click Save.) This he recorded on the external hard drive.

  Winows meïdia player 11 won't import my music from my external hard drive whenever I try to add files, it just seems threw? How can I get my music in my library?

  The http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925718 instructions are for WMP 11 on XP. Here are the correct steps to WMP 11 Vista: (note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too)

  -Restart the PC.
  -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
  -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

• I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos but then...? !

  Adobe,

  I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos and when I decided to export the originals had not been updated and deleted photos were not deleted. How I set up so that once I have import photos, edit and export they are then placed in their original case reviewed and updated?

  I managed to export photos to another file, but they were exported with an Adobe.xmp file. What is it and is it necessary?

  Thanks for your help!

  OK then so when you export edited LR images to tell the Office I do not need to use xmp files unless I want then to re - edit still say in Photoshop or another app?

  You don't need the files xmp during the passage of LR to Photoshop. Right click on the image or in the develop module, click Photo > edit in... According to what you have set in the preferences of the image then opens like FFT, JPEG or PSD - 8 bit / 16 bit - and the new TIFF file for example automatically will return to sitting next to the original RAW LR library. If you are exporting a RAW file edited to the desktop to JPG/TIFF then changes will be permanently stamped in the EXIF of the created files.

  Basically import my Raw files on the drive from Carmera card, then in LR. Edit in LR, finishing and export again say in the office. Keep or throw originals that I please...

  Yes, but why would you throw your originals? You can later return to the original and the re - change all over again new experiences learned etc..

  Can I see the modified pictures made in Photoshop in LR later?

  Yes, see first paragraph above. If you already have a file in LR, take it in Photoshop as a JPG/TIFF/PSD, it will be automatically reduced in LR. If you modify a file outside the LR and that is not already in the LR library, say by locating the RAW file in Explorer and then open it directly in ACR/Photoshop, then LR will have no idea what you did except in LR, you choose to import the image later. Remember though, this is one of the examples where you will need to configure save metadata in xmp (at bridge) so that when you import the edited outside the file RAW LR, LR will read the xmp file changes and save it in its own database.

• Instead of the wizard of recovery HARD drive recovery

  Dear all,

  I would like to re - install the OS on my Satellite Pro T130 laptop without changing the partitions. This is possible with the http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm Recovery Wizard

  However, when I boot my laptop with the Advanced Boot Menu (F8), I think the recovery menu of disk in the System Recovery Options, no recovery Wizard.

  I tried to start this wizard by starting the computer with the button zero (0) at the top, but it did not work. I closed the windows, pushed and held 0, turned on my laptop, when Toshiba logo appeared I sill held the key zero and instead of the Recovery Wizard, open windows.

  I tried at least 10 times and it's getting frustrating.

  I bought this laptop in Hungary in 2010.
  I was wondering that Toshiba offers the two (HDD Recovery + Recovery Wizard) on their laptops or older laptops recovery options came with only HDD Recovery?

  If the start procedure with the zero key does not work, what can I do?

  In addition, I understand the difference between HARD drive recovery and Recovery Wizard is as follows: (please, correct me if I'm wrong)

  HARD drive recovery is re-definition of the manufacturer State which means that it removes all the data in each partition. When you turn on the laptop first time computer, a wizard will appear so you can partition the hard drive. As out-of-box + customization option in the Recovery Wizard.

  Recovery Wizard has three options: out of area (described previously), customization of partitions and recovery without changing the hard drive partitions. I want to use this option, so will not delete all the data of the first partition of the hard disk (drive C). Is no data on other partitions like D, E (etc.) readers.

  Am I wrong?

  Thank you for your answers,

  Kind regards

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the laptop this Satellite Pro was offered with the version preinstalled Win7 and Windows XP Home edition recovery DVDs. Win7 preloaded includes preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator tool so the laptop owner can create recovery (bootable USB key) media which includes the original image of recovery for Win7. This bootable USB key can be used for recovery image installation if there is a problem with the installation of HARD drive recovery.

  As I see you have a problem with the installation of HARD drive recovery, so my question is: did you create this recovery media? You, and you can use it for installing Win7?
  > However, when I boot my laptop with the Advanced Boot Menu (F8), I only find the recovery menu of disk in the System Recovery Options, no recovery Wizard.
  Toshiba HDD Recovery option in the system recovery options will be available if phone has settings to factory only.
  > I tried to start this wizard by starting the computer with the button zero (0) at the top, but it did not work. I closed the windows, pushed and held 0, turned on my laptop, when Toshiba logo appeared I sill held the key zero and instead of the Recovery Wizard, open windows.
  Why don't you use zero to startup? Where did you find the description that you use NRA to launch the installation of HARD drive recovery? I can see in the document validated by Toshiba, you need to use F8 only. When you use F8 and enter advanced startup options is option fix my computer available or not?
  > I asked Toshiba offers the two (HDD Recovery + Recovery Wizard) of the recovery options on their laptops or older laptops with single HDD Recovery?
  All portable Toshiba offered with Win7 preinstalled have Toshiba HDD recovery option but only if they have the factory settings. If the owner of the laptop installation version of the OS option no longer available. In this case, you can install original recovery image using recovery media created.

  From my experience, you should only use the out-of-box option. Be careful with the other options. Recover a custom size partition may lose all the data and recovery image too.

  More important is: you have a recovery (USB or DVD) media or not?

• Re: No HARD drive recovery on Satellite S995D-S5374 area

  I can't do a recovery disc, it says that there is no HDD Recovery area.

  The situation was like that, I wanted to decrease the size of the C drive. I did it with a program and then windows could not start and went to do so more and more.

  I used a different windows installation disc 8. I used the reset option. And the computer started as if it was just a box, the only difference was that my files were intact and also my account on win8. Although scores are one in trouble.

  Now, it looks like this:

  I can not access the half of my hard disk space. There is recovery partition as you can see, but I can not burn a recovery disk...

  I tried to do what he says here (opening the HARD drive recovery process), but it failed. I get the screen where it says
  my pc need to be repaired and nothing was found or can not be found to achieve this.

  Yes, guyes, * please help *. I want my rear disc space and if it is possible to make a recovery disk. As I can access the recovery partition in my computer, can't do a drive recovery here?

  p.s. in disk management, when I right click on the partition "Data", it is said that 'Help' and nothing more.

  p.p.s. I Satellite S995D-S5374. And there was no disk recovery with it when I bought it.

  In recent years, Toshiba doesn't offer recovery discs with new models of laptops with recovery media must be created by the owner of the laptop. It is clearly described in the document s user manuals.

  Recovery media can be created if the laptop has only factory settings. As I see that you have changed the structure of the partitions and that was the big mistake. Of course you can do, but at the first recovery media must be created.

  Please read the last post on http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=140985

  Sorry, but now you cannot create recovery media or start HARD recovery disk image installation.
  If you want to have the recovery disk and use it to recovery image installation, you need to order a new drive for https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Re: Tecra M10 - 10Z - cannot find HARD drive recovery

  After almost three years of use, I decided to re - install the operating system, because the M10 became very slow.
  Now, there's no disc provided (OS is W7 pro 32-bit)... so I did the procedure of F8 startup... but the list of the checkout (after you have entered "repaor PC) ends with"(execute with prompt): no HARD drive recovery! "

  The operating system is absolutely original. The only thing I did was to add a partition to store all my data.
  Can someone help me understand the situation? I'm the only user if my account is 'administrator' t.
  In addition, I do not see the special partition in 'my computer' (never seen) I only have C and E (E is the one I created)...
  Thank you much for the help!

  I don t have this Tecra and cannot say for sure what the problem is here, but it turns out that Toshiba offers an OS preinstalled with recorded on the second partition in the file called HDDRecovery recovery image. On some machines, this recovery image is saved on partition small and invisible.
  Everything will be OK until the user changes the structure of the partitions or delete the recorded recovery image.

  To avoid this Toshiba recommends creating DVDs which can be used if the user has the situation that your recovery. It would be much better when you have this drive now. I put t know why you didn't create this DVD.

  In any case, I assume that the recovery image cannot be found because of the structure of the changed partitions or maybe you did anything in the past that have deleted the recovery image.

  Now, all you can do is to install OS own version or one order new recovery image. It can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

• HARD drive recovery - Satellite P300-1GQ

  Is it possible to perform software factory default recovery or recovery of State out-of-box for my laptop Satellite P300-1GQ?

  I ve used Toshiba HDD Recovery Tool and it only formatted the C partition leaving unchanged D partition. Vista works well, that all data on the D partition. I could just format the partition D, but the problem, is that the titled HDD recovery folder is stored on the D partition. Back in 2009 when I bought my laptop, I created the HDD Recovery DVD s by following the instructions. I could use and format the entire hard drive, but the information that I got from tech support in my country told me that the new record of recovery disc HARD would not be created.

  I want to just wipe the drive and do a fresh install with new file recovery HARD drive on the drive D partition, in short: right now. Is it possible or not?

  > Is it possible to perform software factory default recovery or recovery of State out-of-box for my laptop Satellite P300-1GQ?

  It is possible:
  In doing a recovery of HARD drive or using the recovery disk

  As far as I know using the recovery disk disk HARD integer could be formatted and create return to the same State as at the first day of the purchase, it would mean that the folder of HARD disk recovery and HARD drive recovery option should be available even if you use the recovery disk!

• Worried about HARD drive recovery deleted files

  Hello

  Recently I deleted files recovery from HARD drive on the second drive hard partitioned on my laptop so I could melt in a hard drive.
  After doing so, I realized HDDRecovery can important.

  But I'm a little confused if you backed up to DVD/CD I did in any case the same utility?

  So I have nothing to fear?

  Hello

  HARD drive recovery is a nifty feature that would allow you to recovery of the laptop without the use of the Recovery DVD.
  You could simply recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive option.

  But now it's not possible because you have modified, deleted the partition of HARD disk and therefore, you can only use the recovery disc.

  I think it will not copy the files from HARD drive on the new partition recovery, because the previous HARD drive recovery contained some hidden signs and flags that advocates for HARD drive recovery settings
