• Dell place 8 Pro - corrupted recovery partition

  Through my own stupid actions, I decided to try to remove the recovery partition which took 9 GB.

  This now left me with a tablet to work but no way to reformat all. I tried the advice of dell as follows: -.

  Here are the steps to reset your Tablet:

  1. If your device is not already off, hold the power button for 10 seconds to power it down.
  2. Once it is off, press the power button to turn it on.
  3. When the Dell logo appears (you may have to do as soon as the screen lights up rather than wait for the logo to appear), press and hold the power button to turn it off.
  4. To make this process 3 or 4 times (they said 4, but it's only 3 for me) until you see something inside say it starts automatic system repair.
  5. From there, you should see a menu. Choose 'Troubleshoot' and the following menu should ask if you want to reset your PC as well as a few other options.
  6. Choose Reset the PC, and when you get to the two options that ask 'just delete the files' or "completely reset PC", choose the second option. From there, you should be able to follow the instructions to set up your device.

  The stadium fully reset, he asks system files or support?

  I tried a boot with an OTG cable disk that is recognized by the Tablet PC, but even if I can put it as 1st boot in the Tablet through merely to win 8.1.

  I reinstalled the dell recovery program, but that stops before the end

  Does anyone know of a way around this problem?

  You will have to live with the Tablet as is, or send it to Dell, no way to restore 9FR, probably Dell will charge you to fix the shelf, that's not their fault, it's yours.

• Disk space low recovery partition - how to stop the useless error messge?

  I get the disk space error message off to a recovery partition. (Drive D)

  Yes - the partition is full, but I'm never going to delete files from it. NEVER!

  How to make the error message not pop for this partition? It's boring. And it keeps popping up again and again.

  OK - I realized for me how to disable the error message - but this disables it for all readers is not a satisfactory long-term solution.

  1. click on the icon of the little triangle that represents the hidden icons
  2. click on customize
  3. find the icon of the disk space low Windows explore and change it to "Hide icon and notifications".

  It sounds like this works - it should - but I noticed that EVERY TIME is to watch the Customization screen, it automatically returns to the default value and you have to change it again.

  But - this is a TEMPORARY AND UNSATISFACTORY solution because...
  a. it turns notification for all readers - not only the recovery one.
  b. it does not disable waste clock cycles used for control of the car - this is what is needed - an option to DISABLE them searching for a specific disk/partition.

• A few key Windows 7 Home Premium OEM COA unreadable characters, is there something I can do?

  I replaced the hard drive in my aunt's computer and validate the OEM key on the sticker on the bottom of the habit on his laptop computer. I tried both online activation and calling the Activation Center. It's probably because 2-3 people on the key have been rubbed off and are unreadable. Is it possible for me to post/send the key parts, I know to a microsoft representative and I have them tell me what are the characters in question? I can't the OEM SLP key which I suppose was installed on the motherboard at someone at the factory for a new key to activate windows? Is it possible to get my windows activated without having to buy another copy? Thank you.

  Well, I appreciate the help. One last question; as I understand it if only I get a Toshiba l655-s5146 windows dvd and installation of recovering from it, it must recognize the activation of SLP key integrated into the bios and turn on automatically without the need for me to enter the product key. Could you confirm if it will work? I wish I had a little before insurance I pay 20 Toshiba or so much money for the recovery cd.

  Hello

  For your futue reference:

  If ever, you have the same problem with another machine preinstalled OEM, product key Finder, BelArc programs, etc. will not find a usable product key that you then use the procedure to reinstall OEM.

  They will only find a product key that has been used on several machines during factory production, which is useless for your application.

  These programs will work if you have a retail Windows license to find a key, you might have used.

  You need the product key from the COA sticker, or the long before recovery partition recovery disks doing the hard drive failed.

  And Yes, the manufacturer of recovery disks are designed to reinstall without the need for you to have to enter the product key on the COA sticker.

  If you have problems, then it's a matter between yourself and Toshiba as to what the fault is with their recovery media.

  See you soon.

• 2000-2b09WM HP: 10 Windows upgrade/Windows 8 recovery partition questions

  I tried the upgrade of Windows 10 twice with this laptop.
  
  1st attempt:
  
  He tried to upload D:Recovery partition, failed upgrade, fortunately I did a restore of Windows 8 USB, including the entire recovery drive, until I ran the upgrade, after several steps and issues, I restored to 8.
  
  2nd attempt:
  
  Again, he tried to download and install in the D: partition and failed, second recovery has been a bit more difficult than the first.
  
  My question is, deleting the recovery partition completely before running the upgrade would solve this and if so, would the recovery Windows 8 USB still suffice to recover in case of failure even after the recovery partition by removing completely?
  
  If the update is successful, I would be able to do a restore of Windows 10 USB then recreate a recovery partition, and then transfer the USB recovery to that partition?
  
  I am doing this for someone else who is not technically competent, if it was me I would do this differently (that's if I would never actually own this little thing).
  
  My goal here is to get upgrades, then do as close to 100% some I can that they can not only recover but they don't have to worry about keeping track of a recovery DVD or USB media if all else fails and can recover everything keeping the valid product key without them ever having to buy , find, use or type a product key.

  I delete the recovery partition and try the upgrade. On the issue of work after the removal of the partition which may depend on what type of USB recovery that you created. There's no Windows 8 version - which I've never used and do not know if it works without the partition. There are > HP recovery media- who works with / with out even on a new hard drive and the partition.

  Windows 10 also has an option to create a recovery usb disk but I don't think that it will transfer to a recovery partition - at least not a bootable. Windows 10 has the ability to reset this PC that uses files stored on the hard drive.

  You must also consider if the hard drive has failed it would take the recovery/reset partition with it until you have an installer of stand-alone-usb or dvd is always a good choice to install on a replacement hard drive.

  Of course, many use use imagery to take a complete snapshot of the Windows installation to easily restore either original or new hard drive. The imagery is also covered by the link above.

• I can, t find my serail number its rubbed off the coast in the years

  It is in any case I can find my serail number I have a windows vista home basic laptop

  Hello

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  The methods above do normally not require product key that has rubbed off.

  The recovery process should include the auto Activation using the factory installation product key, in collaboration with the material.

  See you soon.

• How to manage the recovery Partitions?

  Have a Mac Pro 5.1, 2010. Facing a somewhat complicated storage situation, here are the details:

  Pair of SSD drives on a PCI card for my boot volume

  Pair of disks spinning for my Time Machine

  2 discs of rotation 1 t, one that contains my old 10.6.8 System (just in case, got a LOT of Eudora mail in there, never know when I might need to go scrounging), a reader, I'll use later to a windows partion and a clone of my boot volume which now contains a box stock install of 10.11.5. FWIW, this is a drive Bay 1 I read some say it is better to have his windows running of this Bay.

  In utility disk or system report I can see what is really where. When I have the startup key option, I see 2 separate recovery partitions, one for 10.11.5, for 10.9.4. As I said, unless someone can point me to some use, I have no idea where those residing in fact.

  My goal is to eliminate the 10.9.4 partion and keep the 10.11.5 a. The question is how can I do to fix this? Is AAND possible to actually see what is happening with my storage... like exacly what is the case with regard to these recovery partitions?

  Use the Terminal and enter one of the commands:

  sudo diskutil list

  sudo diskutil info-all

  and check with your password. The first displays a list in the configuration terminal. The second will give you much more that you can use.

• HP530?: corrupt recovery partion?

  I've been advised to reinstall my operating system, due to problems. I used the Partion of recovery through the HP Recovery Manager. I had problems on the day of resettlement (two blue screens with a lot of writing, as well as problems of MS Updater).

  1 could the recovery corrupted Partion and cause problems? I have recovery disks.

  2. If I delete the (presumed corrupt) recovery Partition, a new recovery Partition will be re - created when I use the recovery discs?

  3. I think that if I have recovery discs that I don't have a recovery Partion. True? Or is the recovery Partition needed for the restoration and the SFC Points, etc.?

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  When you perform a factory restore of recovery media, which erases the entire disc and recreates the original scores, including the recovery partition.

  But yes, if you restore discs, you really don't need the recovery partition.

  Good luck

• What can I do if I can't read that the key is for Windows because of the part of the key on the sticker has rubbed off and must be re-installed Windows?

  The key to Windows inlegible sticker, want to reinstall windows

  What can I do if I can't read that the key is for Windows because of the part of the key on the sticker has rubbed off and must be re-installed Windows?  The product ID is located under the control panel > system maintenance > system > Windows Activation of a useful?  I don't want to end up with a Clipboard after that reinstalling Windows because I have a legitimate copy of Windows, but the key became disfigured over time, since it's on the bottom of the laptop.  I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2 running on a Dell Inspiron it's way outside the guarantee of its window.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  If you have a product key on a sticker in your computer, this means that you have an OEM product key. If you have OEM keys, this means that the windows you have here is preinstalled.

  If you reinstall windows OEM copy, you must use either the original manufacturer recovery disk or the recovery partition. If you use one of the people, should not be put to any start-up because the windows OEM versions are technically preactivated.

  If you don't have a disc or a recovery partition, you can contact your OEM (DELL) so that they can send you a disk. Alternatively, you can contact Microsoft Support just in case. : D

  Windows 7 64 bit Home Pro

  Hello

  Unfortunately, there is no way to recover your Windows COA key - neither HP or Microsoft will have any record of it.

  However, if you use recovery discs for your laptop, they will not require the key to the COA and will activate automatically.

  If you wish, you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

• HP Stream 13: How do we install 8.1 Windows on HP 13 Stream without a recovery partition and a Windows license key?

  I deleted all the hard drive on my HP Stream 13, including the recovery partition.  I want to reinstall Windows 8.1 on the disk.  I downloaded the ISO of 8.1 of Windows on the Microsoft Web site.  When I try to install it, I get prompted for a product key.  He must see that the material already has a license for Windows 8.1 and not to invite me for a key.  What should I do to get Windows installed 8.1?

  13 Stream is a license for Windows 8.1 with Bing, it does not cover the Windows 8.1 ISO that you downloaded, that's why you're be prompted for a product key.  I heard Windows 8.1 with of the Bing ISO are available, but they are not official.  If you have not created a USB recovery before wiping the drive, you could also buy the HP recovery media or possibly install Windows 10.
