Keep the old recovery partition?

• Can I use the HP Recovery partition after formatting and partitioning the rest of the hard drive?

  I recently had my HP Pavilion dv4 2145dx laptop (Windows 7 64-bit) go kerput.  The Geek Squad said that the motherboard is dead.  I bought a laptop and I use this one for now, and I use the former dv4 as external hard drive.

  I intend to continue to use the hard drive from the old dv4 as an external unresolved for now, but I wish we could fix the dv4 at some point in the future.  Here's the problem: to get the most out of the former dv4 as external drive, I want to repartition it so that there is an NTFS partition and one HFS partition +.  This way I could easily use it with my Mac and Windows machines.

  But if I do that, I'm not sure if the image of HP recovery would continue to operate.  If it does not, then if/when I get the old dv4 a new motherboard, I couldn't restore the operating system from the recovery partition.  It is a problem, because I have not create recovery disks (stupid, I know - I'm definitely making them for the new machine).

  So, I want to do these two things:

  (1) create my dv4 recovery disks.  Can I do this if the dv4 drive is mounted in an external enclosure?

  (2) format and partition the drive dv4 (the leaving intact recovery partition) and later to recover the system from the recovery partition.  The recovery partition would continue to operate in these conditions?

  Thanks for any help that anyone is obtained.

  Hello:

  What you do to the C:\drive will make the ineffective recovery partition.

  You will not be able to create a set of recovery discs unless the drive is usable in Notepad.

  Can you still read all 25 characters of your product key of W7 on the bottom of your laptop broken?

  If so, you can do this...

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  Or, you can probably still order a set of recovery disc for your HP laptop.

  Hello

  Do you mean the second Vista partition which contains the backup system files?

  This partition is hidden and usually after installing the OS from the Toshiba Recovery disk this partition must be re-created.

  I m 100% sure because I ve got my cell several times using the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs and the hidden partition is created every time.

• Ubuntu erased OS and the system recovery Partition drive

  I wanted to test Ubuntu and install it with my Windows Vista. However, the Ubuntu installation failed and somehow corrupted and cannot continue with the installation. So just right now, I'm still in mode "test drive" in Ubuntu that runs on a CD player.

  Apparently he erased my drive hard because I can't start Windows (does nothing) and the F11 recovery partition would not be.
  This computer did not come with a recovery disk (I have the HP-m8000n) and it is refurbished.

  I just realized that these computers have these stickers that contain the product key. Could I possibly use this key again? If so, how can I install Windows Vista software? I don't have a record of it at all :(

  Please and thank you! I appreciate any response!

  In addition to Richard's response.

• Remove the Dell recovery partition and create a data partition

  Hello world

  Two years ago, I bought a Dell Inspiron N5110. In addition to the existing windows partition, I wanted to add a partition Ubuntu as a partition of data (NTFS). Well, I added the Ubuntu partition, but because of the Dell recovery partition (14.65 GB, used 7,69, formatted to NTFS), I had no primary partition left to create a data partition. I did not had the time to solve this problem so far.

  Here you can see the different partitions. 4, 66GB there is the linux swap partition and the 18.63 is the linux partition. Of course, they are contained in an extended partition that is created during the installation of linux using GParted.

  Basically, what I would do, is to remove the recovery partition. I did not throw a look inside, but I read that as it contains bootstrap information, as well as win7 boot no more if I'm deleting it. The partition is marked as 'active' (in contrast to my main windows partition of C). I guess this is a classic problem, but I couldn't find a tutorial or a satisfactory answer on this forum (I apologize if this is the case). I assume that it is not enough to define steps to activate the recovery partition and assign to the partition c active (i.e. they don't going to critical data recovery to the c partition). Furthermore, I read that repartition your drive could affect the functioning of the emergency recovery partition, is this true?

  Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  Greetings,

  Harald

  Yes, sorry, I had a problem and the image has not been correctly incorporated into my message. Here it comes. Sandra means healthy, active, primary partition means that primary partition. However, you will notice that windows see the ubuntu partition is a stretch.

  

• Add updates on the Alienware recovery partition

  Hello

  I bought an Alienware M11XR3 during 2011, it came with win7 and no service pack.

  Recently, I created a USB Alienrespawn recovery but I don't think it's updated SP1 of win7, to new dell drivers for audio, video, etc...

  Is it possible to check?

  Is it possible to add these updates on a USB of recovery and the original recovery partition?

  There is not official but suggested software to do?

  Thank you very much

  Hi Kiran,

  Thank you for your kind reply.

  In fact I have active SP1 and latest drivers works fine. I just need to format the PC because of accumulated file clutter and save problems due to widely used (many programs install/uninstall) I'm not really able to clean. So I would like to make a facility instead of factory restore then update it, but unfortunately, it seems the only way.

  Thanks again and with regard to the best

• Cannot access the system recovery partition

• Creation of the disk recovery Partition recovery disks or HARD.

  I hope that I get good advice from experts today.

  Is it possible to create a custom (mine) HARD drive recovery partition?

  Is it possible to create discs of recovery with all the updates and the installed program?

  Is it possible to update the recovery partition? (with whatever software and installed updates)

  For example, I have a laptop pre-installed with Win XP SP2 and I have upgraded to Win XP SP3 and for some reason any if I restore my laptop with the recovery discs or HDD recovery partition, the laptop will be restored to the factory loaded condition (this is XP SP2). Once again, I have to install all programs and install all updates (XP SP3). If we can create a custom recovery disks or custom recovery partition then we can very quickly restore the laptop easily to the last condition (condition at the time of the creation of the partition to restore or restore disks). It would be better if we can create the recovery partition as nothing else is needed other than the laptop for the recovery.

  Another option to achieve this is with Norton Ghost (or similar tool) but the problem is that we must always continue the Norton Ghost boot disk to start and recover the image. The compatibility problem with a model in particular must be checked. I installed Norton Ghost 9 on a laptop and the laptop turns off not with the shutdown command, and I have to turn off with the power button / stop. This problem was not to withdraw 9 of Norton Ghost. If we can create our own custom recovery partition, save us a lot of resources--time, money, broadband bandwidth and no tension of the installation of all new programs.

  Experts should Tips how to create the custom recovery partition and if this function is not available now experts should examine the possibility of updating the required HARD drive recovery partition.

  PRK,

  I assume you mean Windows 7 after having upgraded (since this is the forum for Windows 7).  Windows 7 has a disk Image feature that can do what you are looking for.  More information is here:

• Satellite Pro L670 - size of the Excessive recovery partition

  Hello

  New to this forum I have just bought a new laptop of Toshiba Satellite Pro L670, is great so far, but I have a question I'd like to solve.

  It has a 500 GB hard drive, which will be more than enough for some time yet, but I'm not satisfied with the way it is partitioned, usable space is divided into 232 C: and 232 GB D: that has the data folder HDDRecovery on it. Now, I know that I can still use the partiition for data, but I prefer to keep all my files in one place and the usual locations of Windows on the C: drive.

  What is the best way to recover all my hard drive space, Windows allows me to shrink the D. partition, but cannot extend the C: partition into free space created as the recovery folder is in the way. Thought copy output folder then recreate a smaller partiiton D: but he did not like me trying to move the folder either!

  ID of burn recovery DVDs can I safely delete the D: partition? I prefer to keep the disk but with a bigger drive C: is the highest priority!

  Congratulations to all

  Hi scoobasteve,

  > What is the best way to recover all my hard drive space
  There is no better way. There are many options for the creation of new partitions because some people prefer a single partition, other people using a lot of partitions.

  Don t worry folder HDDrecovery!

  For example, I installed all my programs/games on the first partition C: where I installed Windows as well. This partition uses 50% of HARD drive space.
  Then I have a second partition D: with HARD drive recovery record. He s using the other 50% and on that, I've stored my files like photos, videos, music, documents, etc. No program, but all other files.

  In my opinion that s ok because I have to run HARD drive recovery, only the C: partition is removed. My important files are still on the D: partition after recovery of HARD drive. In addition, each week, I create a backup of all files on D: partition wait folder of HARD disk recovery. That's why I use Acronis True Image, it records the image on an external DRIVE connected via USB drive.

  Then why delete disk HARD recovery file?
  Of course, you can remove it but create the before recovery disk! After you delete the folder, you are not able to do this more!

• Why the Dell recovery partition is marked as partition active?

  As far as I know the active partition where the bootloader. So I have a few questions:

  How the recovery partition to load windows?

  Could not Dell set the Windows partition active? If I do it myself that I would not be able to access?

  Is this partition created by Dell or have I not this option with a non - OEM Windows copy as well?

  Hello VYOAMA

  You are right that the boot loader is located on the active partition.

  Your next question how it load windows? Instructions in the bootloader show

  When windows is located on the disc and load it where. The old directory of BACK

  has almost disappeared since the bootloader it uses and compensate for finding things on the disk.

  Your next question about Dell implementation active Windows partition? Yes, and on some systems

  and not on others. Your next question to yourself and that you would not be able

  to access? One thing you cannot access is back at the factory. Once the connection between

  Partition and windows partition recovery is broken cannot use F8 to recover the original image.

  Your next question, yes Dell partition configuration, but it is a version of Microsoft Windows and you can

  Create your recovery partition, the system, the partition to the OS partition and set the place in several ways.

  Hope this answer some of your questions and always back up your computer before changing

  things.
