Increases the size of the "HDD Recovery" folder on the partition "D".

I am the owner of laptop Toshiba Satellite, recently, I noticed that my D: drive (unused) is saturated and after careful analysis I realized that the "HDDRecovery" file size is > 200 GB.

I don't want to remove the file or remove image files inside that I need the functionality of recovery, but I have not a clue how to handle the recovery process to decrease the volume.

Do you have an idea how this issue?

Hello

It seems strange to me that the size of the HDD recovery folder would increase up to 200 GB continuously. Probably for laptop computer stores files backup automatically in this folder, but I m not very well why

However, I recommend you to create a recovery media (recovery disk) using the Toshiba
Recovery media creator (this software pre-installed on the Toshiba laptop).

The use of disk recovery (or USB key recovery) would fix the laptop back to the factory and even if settings you should remove the folder in HARD drive recovery or the entire partition, this partition, and these files would be created again.

Hope that this information could be useful for you.

    This true s but this is possible ONLY if the system has not been modified.

  • Increase the Partition OS comments on Citrix VM using M: as OS partition

    I have an interesting dilemma: I need to increase the partition of several Win2003 Citix VM operating system. I am fully aware of using a "helper" virtual machine to add the OS disk to the and then use diskpart to extend the partition.  However, our Citrix VM use the M: drive lettering for the partition to the OS instead of the default C: drive letters.  After I used my vm "helper" to extend the partition of the OS on the Citrix VM, I start the VM original Citrix and get the following message:

    The logon User Interface DLL M:\windows\system32\ctxgina.dll failed to load.

    It seems that the OS disk is returned to the default C: drive lettering when the disk is handed to the original VM Citrix.  As the map in the file ctxgina.dll is a path on the M: drive, he can obviously find it and so, logon is completely broken.

    Question is to know how to extend the OS disk and keep the M: drive letters.  I believe that I can do this with converter, but wanted to see if anyone had any tips to make this work.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - 1 GR - R08985EF.tag file in the partition of E:\

    Hello!

    I have Tosshiba Satellite Pro A300 - GR 1 and recently noticed a file named R08985EF.tag in E:\.
    The content of the file is "R08985EF" and he dated 12.7.2008 - the same date as the HDD Recovery folder and all its contents and has very similar modified-time.

    The file is not read-only and has no protection.
    What is it and can I remove it without negative consequences?

    Any suggestion will be highly appreciated!

    I do not recommend to delete this file because this file could belong to the HDD recovery procedure and if you remove then you'd be unable to UN the HDD recovery procedure

  • Satellite L650-12 q - Toshiba HDD Recovery does not

    Toshiba Satellite L650-12 q
    Windows 7 64 bit

    I am looking to re - install Windows using the Toshiba HDD Recovery software on my hard drive to restore the computer to factory settings.
    I followed the procedure to do this in the System Recovery Options, but received the following message is displayed:

    "The recovery of the operating system is impossible!
    Not found the HDD Recovery folder on the second disc of the first hard drive. There is no valid disk HARD recovery environment on this computer. »

    More details:
    Before you do the above, I supported the system and the files and folders using AOMEI Backupper. I then made the mistake of the merger of C: D: and E: partitions, E: contained HDDR files.

    After having tried the recovery above and receive the above message, I reinstalled the file system I had saved on an external hard drive, which resulted in a copy of the drive C: and E: drive with HDDR files.
    Unfortunately, when I tried to recover the operating system, the same message appeared.

    Then I tried to use a system restore disc, I had created a few weeks ago, but concluded that, for some reason that CD is empty.

    The good news is that the computer still works - slowly - and HDDR files seem to be still there, but for some reason, inaccessible.

    What are my options? I want to go back to initial factory settings so that I can go back and re-install the programs and files that I want to. (I backed up all my files and have records of installation for programs).

    If the worst comes to the worst and I have to buy a Windows 7 disc (if that's even possible - I don't want Windows 8), it would be possible to install on this computer and it would give me a clean install, without any of the garbage which is currently cluttering up my computer?

    Thank you for reading, and I would be grateful for any advice you can offer.

    In your case, the situation is clear: HARD drive recovery facility does not work?
    If you want to have the laptop with the settings you have an option only: for recovery image installation you must use the installation of recovery disc.

    Hello

    Of course I don't know what the problem is exactly, but I'm confused on a few other facts.
    The fact is that Toshiba has created the reminder that informs the user on the first day that Toshiba doesn't offer the recovery DVDs and it is recommended to create such a DVD support immediately.

    Question about you: you created this recovery media?

    The Toshiba recovery image has nothing to do with the WinRE Vista 1.5 GB partition. Partition WinRE Vista feature. On new models of laptops Toshiba recovery image is saved in folder HDDRecovery on the second partition. If touch you didn t and if you didn t change anything with partitions you should be able to install Vista using this recovery image.

    After your computer is turned on press F8 and choose the first option (if available) computer repair. You can enter the Vista System Recovery Options. The last option should be Toshiba Recovery. If you didn t change anything, this option will be available.

  • How can I increase the size of partitioned 'Recovery' drive in Windows 8?

    I need to update my windows 8 to 8.1 in order to upgrade to Windows 10. The "recovery" partitioned D drive doesn't have enough space for the upgrade. Is there a FREE way to increase space partitioned drive?

    UPDATE: I GOT IT!

    I have shrunk the drive C to unallocated space of 10 GB and used free software EaseUS to increase the size of the disk D (I couldn't increase using windows).

    If your configuration is set with the partitions in a certain order or Setup, it can be moved using this tool, so you should come back to something like ZigZag3143 (Windows devices & for IT Pro MS - MVP) suggested.  Or another option is to save what concerns you, format the drive and reinstall everything fresh (it may be too much for you, but it is an option).

    Hello

    By "tons" of space on your partition D:, what size does this mean?

    D: partition, if 5-15GBs is normally the recovery partition, except on a few machines, and should not be bothered with.

    Acer for example on the previous models used D: as a data partition, which is OK to change.

    How can I increase the size of the D: drive?

    Your D drive is the configuration of your Partition recovery by the manufacturer of your computer.
    It is used to restore your system in case it crashes.
    It is not to be touched, adds anything in or remove anything from him.
    The recovery Partition is usually around 10 GB. That's all he needs to store the files for recovery.
    I strong suggest that you don't mess with it.

    If you want to create a System Image backup, please do so in an external hard drive.
