M6-1035dx Pavilion: clone SSD drive cannot locate the recovery Partition

I recently bought a HD 500 GB of SSD to replace the original that came with the laptop.  The SSD drive I bought is slightly smaller than the original one.   I used the cloning software is Macrium.  Partitions, I am interested in cloning are the HPTools and recovery.  Stand have been cloned successfully by the software.  I put the active recovery as well.

After swapping the drives, the system starts the HPTools immediately, but the options for the restoration part are "grayed out".  I can't access it.  I tried several times, and this is where I am stuck.  It seems that the recovery partition is not detected by the cloned HPTools.

I do not have the recovery DVD, but I have the original HD with partitions intact and they work just fine because I recently test the recovery process.

I missed well to clone the original HD somehow that the SSD is unable to detect the partition?  Maybe I missed a step?  The difference in the size of the hard drive causes a problem in the recovery process?  How can I remedy the situation and use my new SSD?

Thank you for all your advice.

Try the complete sector-by-sector disk cloning.  If you use Macrium, you will need a paid version. The free version just do enough for the advanced cloning procedure you need.  See the following web document to compare versions.

http://www.Macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx

BTW, an SSD detects nothing. This is the BIOS and the operating system that detects hardware, firmware and software.

You can use HP recovery media successfully on an SSD or not, that has at least 160 GB of capacity. Your 500 GB SSD certainly has enough capacity.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum. Welcome!

    I'm afraid that you can't create partitions of recovery if they are deleted. End users cannot do.

    If the computer is originally shipped with Windows preinstalled by HP (OEM of Windows for example), you can buy HP recovery media. They are generally cheap. You can use it to restore your computer to factory default condition. Here's how:

  • Can I change the drive letter of the recovery partition?

    HP P7-1235, Win7 64 bit running. 1 TB HARD DRIVE

    I usually partition my hard drive, so that my data is separate from the operating system and applications.  the operating system is the C: partition, and my data is generally D:.  The problem is: "D:" is used by the recovery partition.

    I can change his letter to something else, and recovery still works?

    Hello

    Well, everything has been said on this subject and its okay.

    It's better to not touch the D: partition, set another letter to your other partiion, if you change the recovery partition, you won't be able to use it.

    But you can also do a thing, you can go ahead and create your copy of the recovery disks, just enter some DVD, create your copy of the recovery Image, then you can change the drive letter of the partition Recovery to E: or even delete that.

    A copy of records RRS, you can always use them to again state of the plant, and that will reformat all your partitions, create the recovery disks and do what you want and prefer with you D: partiion.

    Thank you

  • Change the drive letter for the recovery partition

    The recovery partition is, by default, the value to D: which means that if I create a data partition, it is automatically in letters f: while this is not unacceptable, it is inconvenient.  I would like to change the drive letter of the partition data on D: and set the recovery as f partition: if I do this, it will automatically disable the ability to recover?  I am running Windows 7 Professional, which is an originally installed Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade.

    Hello Richard9, if you change the Recovery D: HP restore partition to another letter, the recovery procedure would not work if you ever need.

    If you have files HP Recovery discs, you could delete this partition and recover the capacity of hard drive D: and use the set of diskettes to restore HP recovery to reintall the original software and the partitions of the hard drive, all as they were when shipped from HP.

  • Spectrum of HP x 360 13-4195dx: how to reassign the drive letter of the recovery Partition or delete partition?

    I just bought a new spectrum X 360 convertible. I'm trying to use Laplink PCMover PRO to move my programs etc to my old PC. But when I get to the part where I said to transfer, it tells me that there is not enough room for my D: drive. The recovery partition is D:.

    What I've done so far:

    (1.) I made a recovery USB drive using Windows 10 disk management software. (I thought that this software would allow me to remove the recovery partition after the copy, but he did this).

    2.) I tried to delete the partition by using the disk Windows 10 Manager but is not an option.

    What I want to do is delete the D: drive (I have the USB recovery) recovery and create a new partition of D: drive.

    Does anyone know what I'm missing here?

    Also, who was the person who chose D: as the recovery partition? (was that a competitor? (LOL)

    Thanks in advance,

    Dave

    I read on some other posts that the resumption of "F11" looked like a particular drive letter, so I was hesitant to remove the drive designation letter assignment. I did my recovery USB drive then I'll just delete the partition. I don't really like having all my recovery options on a HARD disk that will crash a day (LOL).

    Thank you

  • Manager Windows 8.1 and the HP recovery disk manager cannot remove the recovery partition

    I have the following computer: HP ENVY h8 desktop PC - 1437c.  I used the HP Recovery application to do a recovery on a flash drive disk. When you have finished this operation it was not an option to remove the recovery partition (drive D on my computer. I tried to reopen the HP Recovery Manager and try to remove it like that, but to remove it is greyed out. I also tried to delete it using the 8.1 windows Disk Manager, but there is no way to do there either. If I right click on the recovery Partition, I get only an option 'help '. How can I get rid of this partition and recover lost space using it now on my hard drive. Windows and HP did not want to provide more records with their computers, but they do not have a problem of screwing of MY hard drive that I bought and paid for. I should start to charge rent for the space.

    I just used the software and created another partition as drive D using all unallocated space. I can delete probably once again, or maybe I'll just use it as a storage device for my files instead of recovering files sofetware... Thanks for the help

  • Help! Went to format my D recovery drive and now the recovery partition is gone!

    Hi everyone, thanks for reading and I would really appreciate the help! I use a HP G32 laptop, Windows 7 operating system. n in the middle of trying to free up space on recovery drive D, I went to the format is gone and now the recovery and empty of my D drive partition! Tried to retrieve the file, but to no avail! No idea what I can do? Thank you very much!!!

    That's what does_removes put in shape all the files. You burn your set of recovery disks? If so, you can start their relocation back to factory specifications that will recreate the recovery partition. Please note that this format the entire hard drive, which means that you save the files, photos, etc. before the race. If you burn your recovery DVD set, that you can order from HP for about $20.

  • Pavilion g series: cannot access the recovery partition & disk do not work

    Try to reset the computer to factory since it does not start in Windows.

    When I try to enter in recovery "esc then F11" it will just try to load windows. Recovery partition is still there just can't access.

    So I try to use disc 5 figure set I did 3 years ago & it starts on the 1st cd, but I get a message saying that the disk is not for this computer.

    I'm like what?  This computer rendered & I have the best recollection no changes to anything that should have caused the recovery to think that there is another computer.

    Suggestions on what I might have to do in order to recover my computer to the factory?

    How can I access the partition recovery from normal mode does not work?

    Why the hell does not work my cd?

    I bought the computer again.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If this is the case, then you need the recovery media you can perform a factory image recovery.

    You can remove the hard drive and connect it to another PC through an external drive enclosure or a usb cable to sata. Which will allow you to copy your important data from the drive to another device of storage for extra security.

  • Means of hard drive failure cannot use the recovery partition. Alas! recovery discs will not read!

    Hard drive decided to throw a wobbly and abandon me. I can't access the drive at all so decided to but a new and use the recovery at least discs bring the machine to its status as an out-of-box.

    That's the problem... It will not read the recovery disc. I know there is some stuff about it because I read in another machine. Until you tell me to change the DVD hardware... it reads very well all the other disks. I loaded Arcronis, as well as other system repair stuff, using the DVD Player/Recorder.

    I have a pukka Product Code for the software, Vista Home Basic. Can I get a Vista Home Basic disc and then use my key to sting?  I'm happy to pay a price, but do not want to buy at the price high. After all, I already paid for it once!

    Any help/suggestions will be much appreciated.

    Mr. Blue Screen.

    Hello

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • HP Pavilion x 360-13-s100nv: remove the recovery partitions

    Here the contents of disk management.

    Can I remove the two recovery partitions, since I'm not going to use this feature?

    (I have a full system image created with the tool Windows 10, registered in an external hard drive).

    geotso

    Yes, you can delete the partitions of recovery and reclaim the space.

    As for aid in the recovery of Win10, my opinion is that the integrated backup/restore solutions are unreliable, so I don't trust them.

    Instead, I have long relied on a third party solution known as Macrium reflect (MR).

    What I recommend is the following:
    (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
    (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
    (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

    I use all the time and it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make the backup of the image and at the same time or less do a restore.  In addition, MR has the ability to add a recovery Boot Menu entry.  This then allows you to boot into Windows re, and then you can use it to do a restore - when you cannot start Windows!

    NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

    Good luck

  • 23 all-in-One Pavilion: a Factory Reset also renews the recovery Partition?

    I just did a Factory reset on my 23 all-in-One Pavilion. Previously, in the past, I had inadvertently erased the recovery disc. Fortunately, as I just discovered in the rebuilding process, I did a flash backup restore.

    (1) now that I have to order, updated to 8.1 has done that also recover this recovery on the hard disk drive.

    (2) the last time I did the flash recovery he had only windows 8. Now that I have 8.1 on that I should make a new flash with window 8.1 on this recovery?

    I know that last time I did restore flash he reported that it was a matter of time. Could not do another restore backup discs or Flash after this one. So I suspect that if the recovery disc has not been restored too it does not allow me to make a new key USB recovery stick?

  • 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.

  • Cannot install network printer on Windows 7. Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver. All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions? How can I fix it?

    Cannot install network printer on Windows 7.  Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver.  All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions?  How can I fix it?
    Windows Server 2008 network.  Printers have ip addresses. Install the drivers from the Print Manager.  /Terminal Server Workgroup installation.

    It's the same situation with XP.  The print driver names must match.  If you notice the name of the printer driver that uses XP is a name different from the one that is installed when you plug in the device on the Windows 7 computer.  This is just my assumption, please correct me if this isn't the case.

    The real solution is to install a 32-bit driver on the XP machine that uses the same name that the 64-bit driver and share a printer using this driver or find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name as the 32-bit driver installed on XP and install the driver on XP.
