is it possible to copy a recovery drive

I use a Hp mini with model No 110-3011se Intel Atom and Windows 7. is it possible to copy the recovery of a similar system disk and use it to restore the factory settings on my system. because when my system has been formatted, I lost my. and I want to restore the factory settings on my system

No, you can't. The reason is that the recovery disc will be locked with the serial number and it will give you an error message "is not in your system.

I do not recommend this.

  • New installation of Vista recovery drive...

    Hello
    I have a laptop HP Pavilion-DV5 comes with windows vista... It has 2 drives C and d. C has windows disk and all the other stuff and D is a recovery drive with almost 8 GB of data in it. I'm new on recovery and other things and I know its possible to reinstall windows, but I want something else...

    I want to install windows 7 in my C drive after FORMATTING drive C (no road of course...) and I want to keep the option of vista recovery because it is after all ORIGINAL windows... Is it possible to do? I mean what happens if I install windows 7 and when I want my windows vista back, is possible to install from recovery drive?

    Concerning

    Once format you the recovery usually partition C: does not work. Better to burn your recovery disc set at onhand in case you want to roll back to Vista. Use HP Recovery Manager in your Start menu to burn the game using DVD + R, no record of rewritteable. Usually requires only 2 DVD.

  • Can I format my recovery disk if I copied the recovery on an external drive?

    On my Hp computer, I noticed that my recovery was almost full.  So I copied it on an external drive.

    My question is; Can I format my recovery if I copied the recovery on an external drive?

    Hello

    No, you can't.

    And reading this on the recovery partitions:

    It is supposed to have the files it contains, because it contains the files to reinstall the operating system.

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. If you want to reinstall Windows from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

    See you soon.

  • How to copy the recovery on the new HARD drive partition, HARD drive failed?

    Hallo,

    I have a Compaq Mini netbook with Windows 7 Starter.

    The HARD drive has failed and it is not repairable. However, it seems that the recovery partition is OK.

    I want to buy a new HARD drive, install the driver on the netbook, and then use the tools/recovery partition to install windows 7 on a new PC.

    So, the question is simple: how to copy the recovery for the new HARD drive partition?

    Hello s91066.

    If your hard drive of your laptop doesn't have? If this is the case, what do you mean by the "recovery partition is ok? I doubt that this laptop has two hard disks, so if you are able to see this partition of your hard drive may still work.

    You will need a set of recovery disks to restore the partitions on the new drive. If you can start Windows, which you can probably not with a dead hard drive, you can follow these steps if you can get into Windows.

    If you are unable to boot into Windows, you need a set of disks. You can order it directly from HP. The number of the United States / Canada is 1-800-474-6836. If you are in another domain, you must visit HP's Support around the world to find contact information for your region.

    I hope that is useful; have a great weekend!

    You have two activations and no more. If you need to register a third party, you will need to purchase another package. Yes, the installers can be copied to any media that you consider appropriate.

    Hello

    Something like that is not possible. On the recovery of the media it is an image that cannot be split. As far as I know with CD recovery facilities, it is possible to install the OS on the first partition (if several available). You can also create own partitions.

    Please carefully check the menu at the beginning of the procedure of collection facilities.

  • With the help of the computer laptop Recover copied files recovery?

    Hello world

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-3105tx. I received my hard drive crashed. I could not be able to make the recovery discs using my recovery partition. But how ever I copied my files on a separate disk recovery partition. Now, I have installed Winows 7 Ultimate. But he wants to recognize drivers.  Can I get my phone in factory settings using the files of recovery that I copied to separate drive? If it is possible, how?

    It is very unlikely that you try to use a copy of the file recovery works. Please see the page of HP Pavilion dv6-3105tx Entertainment Notebook PC drivers for your computer. This page contains the complete assortment of the necessary drivers for your computer.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    The ONLY way to return to its original state of the recovery partition is to do a full erase of the hard drive and reconfiguration of the PC itself Žtat factory use HP Recovery Media - and, as said, that will delete EVERYTHING on the drive!

    If you have backups of the image, as you requested, then you really don't need to partition and can safely remove to reclaim that space.

    If Windows won't let you delete this partition, then try using this: Best Free Partition Manager for Windows | MiniTool Partition free

    Good luck

  • Recovery drive D

    I accidentally formatted my recovery drive D on my laptop Envy.  Is there a way to restore this drive?  I did the recovery disc, but want to restore my drive if possible.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, the only way to recover the recovery Partition is to perform a 'Factory Reset' using your set of recovery disks - this procedure will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  It will also recreate the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  • MS Recovery Drive vs HP Recovery Media in desktop PC

    Hello

    Last year, I bought a desktop PC all-in-one HP Pavilion 23-B115EA with Windows 8 is installed.  Later, I upgraded to 8.1 of the store.

    Recently, I wanted to create a disc of recovery in the case where, but ended up creating two:

    1. From the start screen, I typed "create a recovery disc" and consulted the menu with the button 'Copy the recovery partition' checked.  I used a 32GB USB as a 16GB one was not quite big enough, because although it would only take about 14.9 GB, with formatting, it was a little more than 16 GB.  The recovery disk was created successfully.
    2. I checked with HP email support, but they referred me to the HP Recovery Manager.  I have it accessible from the icon Support HP and found a menu with create recovery media, but it is about 14.7 GB and it mounted on a 16 GB USB DRIVE.

    I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know the difference between these two recoveries and that one is better than the other.

    Kind regards

    The HP Recovery Manager creates a replica of the computer as it was delivered to you.

    Creates an image of MS 8.1 Windows Recovery

    After the upgrade to Windows 8.1, you should take the time to build a new disc of recovery on the USB storage media.  By building a new recovery disk, you will have an easy way to perform a system reset / refresh with the bits of the Windows 8.1 operating system, if necessary to recover from a situation of system boot down the road.

    If you perform a factory image recovery using the recovery usb media, the current recovery partition will be replaced by a new one.

    Be aware that a factory image recovery will come back to your laptop in its delivered State. This means that all the software that you have added since the introduction and all your data will be deleted. So if you want to go this route, I strongly suggest to copy all of your important data to an external drive and find all of the software and license keys) you want to reinstall and it is ready for use.
