Issue of partitioning and drive recovery
My laptop has some performance issues, and general cleaning does not seem to do much, so I thought go through recovery to give the laptop a new start.
Currently, the only thing is that my DVD drive is not working, so backup stuff is clumsy, and is an understatement.
If I create a new partition of the HARD disk to store some files that I want to keep, the recovery process removes it? Or it just get rid of the stuff on the C drive?
Hello
So whatever, you should back up your files/data, not on the SAME physical HARD disk.
Good luck.

I'm recovering Pavilion dm4-3170se of my daughter. My daughter did not a recovery disk and has no recent backup of its set of data files.
Problems (and what I've done so far) are quite parallels to what the user indicated in this post incredibly detailed:
Difference is in start-up Mode (command line or not) safe, Windows startup fails on a dll, specifically CryptUI.DLL.
Although incredibly detailed post user is not getting into the Windows startup, I have mod... for about 30 dll before it chokes on the corrupt. I tried a number of other things to get passed without result.
Game drive recovery of origin of my daughter bought the farm when his house burned down. So I ordered and received a replacement of HP. I am reluctant to use before retrieving his data files because it may lose 40% of its professional activity.
The set of recovery disks delivered includes an "Application and Driver Recovery DVD". Account of > 20 years Wintel machine tradition, I presume it is bootable. Surprisingly, user detailed Post got hers to start from the DVD drive. But the configuration of the BIOS to get the DVD drive as the first choice of startup is not to begin after two trials.
Before I pour more time into that, I want to the Collective Wisdom here.
Q1: Is this disc HP, numbered 691822-B22, meant to be bootable?
Q2A: If it is, imagine you I can use the command line interface to copy the DLL identified-as-bad to the HD?
Q2B: If she isn't, why the, uh, gollygoshdarn isn't? Must be a reasonable thing...
Thanks for all the ideas based on experience.
Hello:
No matter what DVD driver and HP application I have ever used is not bootable.
It should autorun from the windows desktop once windows has been reinstalled.
This is the only question that I can answer those you requested.
Suggestion...
Make your own installation of W7 ISO from the link below.
Use to install W7 and do not delete all partitions or format the drive.
Windows install and create a folder Windows.old to the current operating system.
Then, you can copy all the files you need from the Windows.old folder after installing W7.
Once you are sure that you have got what you need, use the recovery disk set to restore the hard drive on his out of the box state.
Link to files ISO of W7 is below. Use the W7 x 64 home premium from the SP1 media list file refresh.
Then use this tool to transfer the iso file on a flash USB DVD or 4 GB drive. The tool also performs the file iso bootable.

I have Setup with Bootcamp Windows 8 and then upgrade to Windows 8.1, and then upgrade to Windows 10.
When I want to restart the training camp that I got the error message: "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.
According to this page, it is because of Windows recovery partitions added during the 8 to 8.1 migration and 8.1 to 10.
I check with diskutil and I found 2 partitions of Windows Recovery:
diskutil list

I tried to delete the Windows Recovery 2 partitions with disk utility tools but the button "-" to remove them were leaving is disabled.
Is it a good idea to remove these partitions? If yes how?
1. What is the year/model of your Mac?
2. you are trying to install a new copy of the W10 or remove the existing installation?
3. do you have the W8 or installation/upgrade W8.1 had problems before the upgrade of the W10?

Re: Satellite C650D - factory settings and drive recovery different?
HI - have had problems with the Satellite C650D model for a few months - very slow, a lot of viruses, constantly crashing, updates constant, constant "cannot connect windows" and "windows try to repair your system" problems. I have reinstalled factory for the laptop several times, but the problems keep occurring - should I buy a recovery disc - is - it different for recovery system installed? Thank you
> I have reinstalled factory for the laptop several times, but the problems keep occurring - should I buy a recovery disk > - is - it different for recovery system installed?
Recovery DVDs contains the same recovery image as image stored on the HARD drive, so there is no difference.To be honest I don t understand what may be the problem.
Can you please tell us what you did exactly (reinstalled factory settings)? I mean how did you do that? -

I have two hard drives and the two have a recovery partition. Disk 0 is disk 1 80 GB and 500 GB. I want to remove the recovery on both partition and drive 1 recovery partition. Disc 1 is much older, but I would have preferred free space on disk 0.

The "recovery Partition" in question is not a thing of Microsoft. Ask that ever created it (the manufacturer of your computer) which will probably help you not because it's beyond their desire to do so.
I suggest you create / have external media and numbers of series/product key in another place course of the computer itself.

Portege Z30T - Confused on partitions and recovery methods
A few weeks ago, I bought a new PORTEGE Z30T-A PT24CE and upgraded to Microsoft Windows OS Version 8.1 Pro 6.3.9600 with its CDs. (it came with Windows 7 pre-installed)
I have two questions that confuse me:
1-) first of all, I got the laptop I upgraded to 8.1 win by a DVD burner. And I remember this time, he made a picture to copy at the end of the Windows installation. And then another reason I reset phone option "DELETE EVERYTHING AND REINSTALL WINDOWS. But SSD partition recovery recovery (since I don't use any DVD).
My first question is: does make a difference to reset the PC from DVD of the TOSHIBA (which takes longer) than the reset of the image on the hard drive. I ask because if there is difference, I'll try new DVD reset.
2-) when I check 256 GB SSD disk management I see the following disk partition (check the image below):
[partition|postimg.org/image/57i99hsgr/]Here, there are the OEM partition and the recovery Partition. What is the difference between these two? Should I have them both? They occupy too much space each more than 8 GB.
In regard to point 1)
What software did you use to create the image after the update 8.1 Win?
The fact is that the Toshiba recovery image was preinstalled on the laptop and recover the laptop using the recovery media (disk or USB key) or by using the procedure of recovery Toshiba HDD would reset the computer laptop back to the factory settings; on the same State as at the first day of the purchase.
If you want to use another method of recovery or image, you reset draw the laptop to the State when the image was created.
In regard to point 2)
Unfortunately, somehow the link to the screenshot does not work
However, as I said above: the Toshiba HDD recovery procedure redefines the laptop to factory settings and the recovery of image files is placed on a separate partition.
This partition is very important to perform HARD drive recovery and create additional recovery media.
This was the case for pre-installed Win 7 OS!The other partition may be created by Windows system after Win 8.1 install.
I'm also a little confused about the image created...
It would also be possible that this OEM partition is related to the image that you created after the installation of Win 8.1.In any case... it would be useful to know all the steps you did the upgrade...
by the way: I also recommend you read some threads/posts on the topic of recovery here in the forum... This should help you understand the whole process

Portege M300 (PPM30A) - lost access to HARD drive recovery
Portege M300 model PPM30A-02E001.
At some point during the installation a Sony camera I lost access to my hidden partition (HDDRECOVERY) where I can make the recovery disks.I can see it in disk management tools, but the link is missing.
Is there a way I can make the link? "Brand recovery disc" icon is gone as well.
Please, I beg you.
Hello
Wait a moment, please: why you write about on the hidden partition HARD drive recovery? I think you mixed up something!
On Vista and Windows 7, there is a hidden partition, but it has nothing to do with the option HDDrecovery from Toshiba. This on the hidden partition is a feature of Windows, also called Windows recovery environment!Normally HDDrecovery files are stored on the second partition in a file of the same name. Can you access the second partition?
If this isn't the case, I think the only chance is to order a new recovery disk. Therefore, you must contact the service provider authorized in your country.

I ran this fix listed in another thread - http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS033035
to partition the disk and free space, but when I run it, I get a message saying that I have already changed the layout of the default partition...
But I have not... lol
Any ideas?
For now, my c drive has 103 GB with 70 free and drive D has 3.99 with Free 2.59.

MG,
The fix has been targeted specifically to systems with early preload which had a D 25 GB partition (and a recovery partition too big). The preload has since been updated to use a different partition, part structure that narrows down from partition D to 4 GB, which is what you got out of the box. For these, the hotfix checks the partition structure and raise the error you see. Your current partition C is close enough to the total space on C for old systems after you apply the hotfix. If you really want to, it is still possible to recover this 4 GB manually via diskpart.

M7-j010dx: need help w/Windows 8 new hard drive recovery
installed a new hard drive installed (hard drive error (3f0) an old and dead confirmed by Geek Squad). I have HP recovery discs. How to proceed from here?

Is there more to the process than that? I don't get what is happening.

Something that has worked for many (not all) Windows 8 laptops_enter BIOS and change the date to 01/01/2014. Save & Exit and restart again recovery disc. They pass through the process_but - on the first restart that launches Recovery enter BIOS to verify the date is still 01/01/2014. If so go back to reset. If not change again once and then resume.

Format HARD drive, delete the recovery partition and recover with disc
Hello
I have a laptop Satellite C660D-17F and want to format my HDD, remove the recovery partition and recover the preinstalled Windows 7 and other software. I don't want to keep my own data, which are all stored already, I just want to be sure I can safely restore preinstalled stuff. I have a few questions that I need help to clear up before I go ahead.
Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition? If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?
I found [this post | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/items/faq/71] which explains the recovery process. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that? It will restore the OS and the software for the backup of dvd drive? Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?
Added SIDENOTE:
I actually prefer to be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I'm after. Or is there a way?Sorry, I know that was a long post, but I want to be sure of what will happen BEFORE I'll and spoil things! :) If you got this far, thanks for reading. :)
Hello
I will try to offer help. ;)
> Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition?
Yes. Saved on recovery discs recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, specific Toshiba and utility tools and some additional software.
> If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?
Preinstalled Toshiba Recovery creator make recovery disc that includes the recovery image only. It has nothing to do with your personal data.
> I found this post that explains the process of recovery. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that?
After that, you should use recovery disks created for the recovery image installation.
> Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?
When you use the recovery disc for your laptop recovery image installation will have factory settings which include the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. To be honest I do not understand why you do not want to have this recovery image on the HARD drive. This allows the installation of recovery using recovery of HARD drive option. But of course you can delete it later for more free space on your HARD drive. Installation image that you can always use created for recovery discs-recovery DVDs.
> I'd really rather be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I don't want after

Satellite L555 - 10M - deleted Partition D and HARD drive recovery
Hi all
I deleted my D partition on my laptop also drive HARD recovery. Now my Question is how to retrieve an Image on this Partition? I have a recovery CD and I can start it but it s only a picture for Windows 7 32 bit.
If I boot from CD then a warning appears, who asked if I have already created an Image. If I click Next, then it will format my C Partition.Can someone tell me how I can create a new Image without C format?
Thank you very much
Hi hardpoekel,
Why you deleted the D partition if you didn't create the Toshiba Recovery disk? Sorry, I put t understand.
I think the point is that drive recovery of what you have now only contains an image of Windows 7 32 bit. AFAIK on Satellite L555 - 10 M is Windows 7 64 bit preinstalled and create a recovery for this OS disc, to use the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. But now it of too late because you deleted the files on this disc.
I think that going back to Windows 7 64-bit, you can order a Toshiba Recovery disk:
https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspxYou can use the recovery disk from current 32 bit without any problems, but it will only restore 32-bit version instead 64-bit.

Help to remove the partition on a hard drive and data recovery
I have two hard drives in my PC, the C: drive is 80 GB, and the F: drive is 120 GB. The second drive (120 GB) is divided into two partitions. I just deleted the partitions and makes the hard drive again in a single disc, however I had some important files on the F: drive that I thought I had copied to the C: drive but they are not there. Is there anyway that is using the software I can return the drive to two drives and recover my data, please help
Hello
First of all, do not use the hard drive. This can make things sunk. A few things may already be unrecoverable. I would even delete the drive letter to stop inadvertently automated processes to use.
There are two ways I can think of.
1. buy a partitioning software disk that supports the undelete partition. On windows XP PartitionMagic was a very good product if symantec will still sell it. Given that Symantec has continued to develop, I had to switch to product partition Paragon. Sound was trash to some things, cloning in particular a double boot with loads of partitions - it has an undelete function which I didn't use. The fact that you have created a new partition could mean that the restoration may not work. You may need to delete the current, probably empty, partition everything first and then perform the restoration.
2. buy a data recovery software that will scan the hard drives, including the unpartitioned space. I chose R-Studio and it was very good stuff even recovery from hard drives that fail. It was not 100% effective, but it is perhaps down to the severity of failure rather than the product. In situations like yours, it was very effective.
Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

How to FORMAT my hard drive with a RECOVERY PARTITION and my system restore from. BKF files
History made as short as possible.
I inherited a gateway with XP Media Center 2004. I transferred all my old files to the new computer, and it worked fine. I did a full backup of the system (.) BKF). Later, I installed a disc for my Vivitar camera I used before with my old system and my computer crashed.
I tried everything I know to do a restore. F8, F10 and F11 during start-up and the best I could come up with was the safe MODE, but it would fail to any ENTRY.
I really feel like the hard disk must be formatted and start over. I can not access the recovery partition and no XP CD was provided.
My question is: How can I reformat the hard drive with a petition of recovery and reinstall my operating system of BKF files?
If you have a recovery partition, I suggest you post in the forums of the bridgeassistance.Another option is the following:http://tips.vlaurie.com/2006/05/recovery-console-for-those-without-an-XP-disk/"luckyone_27105" wrote in messageNews: 720fbbc2-6fb9-4fd7-9411-bdd1ec89b144...> A long history made as short as possible.>> I inherited a gateway with XP Media Center 2004.
