    I want to install linux in dual boot, but the link above from Microsoft, said a MAXIMUM of

    Currently I already have FOUR primary partitions on my laptop HP as factory default PARTITION!

    What is the SYSTEM partition?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-are-system-boot-partitions#1TC=Windows-7

    Excerpts:

    “.... The system partition contains the hardware and the startup folder indicating a computer where to look to start Windows. By default, Windows 7 creates a separate system partition when it is installed from scratch (as opposed to upgrading from a previous version of Windows) on an unpartitioned hard disk. This partition is 100 MB in size. “

    Looks like I need to remove one of the main partition above.

    Recovery (D primary NTFS Partition 21,28 GB)

    What are the consequences of the removal of one of the scores of HP.

    I suspect the HP_TOOLS above (F and recovery (D are dependent on each other.))

    I understand, it's likely that I lose the ability to recover and have to reinstall windows directly from CD/DVD.

    But I have TO install Linux in DUAL BOOT.

    What choices do I have?

    Please advice.

    Linux uses a different label than Windows. Windows using C, D, E... drive, but linux uses sda1, sda2, sda3 (sda means the disc and 1,2,3, partition) labels for partitions. The sda2 partition is probably the 100 MB system. Linux also uses different file systems incompatible with NTFS/FAT32 for Windows file systems. The most common are EXT2/3/4 and also swap which is something like a pagefile (pagefile.sys) on Windows. You can delete the partition HP_TOOLS of linux, but if everything works and you do not need more partitions don't do that. There are stored diagnostic utilities. However, you can create a USB key with the same properties as HP_TOOLS partition:

  • HP Recovery repartition the hard drive to factory default settings?

    Hi all

    I'm looking to repartition my hard drive to separate my data in program files.

    I was wondering if I ever run HP Recovery, will this repartition the hard drive back to the factory settings by default, which eliminates the data newly created partition?

    Your reactions/experiences would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Whether you use the Partition recovery or your recovery discs, both will delete all custom partitions that you may have created.  A better option to allow you to recover the operating system and any custom partition you created would be to use a disk imaging software.

    Additionally, make sure that you have created your recovery disks, as Re-partitioning the HARD disk can sometimes affect the function of the recovery Partition.

  • Bacup/restore to factory default

    Hi all

    My HP laptop has arrived an hour ago and it looks amazing much thinner I was ecpecting for a laptop 17.3. I ordered Windows Pro 8.1 from my suppliers who will be here tomorrow. Although I need to back up the partition by default factory because I install my own OS instead.

    I think the best thing to do would be. Pass through the initial installation of the pre-installation and then back up the partition which by the way should not be more 16 GB maximum for a clean install. This back up to an inch or the USB and install Windows Pro 8.1. I think I'll come against is only pre-installed software that comes with the notebook. As I have not yet looked, one would imagine that HP has a list of drivers and software available on the Web site of your support for my product. Hesitate but this third preinstalled software would not attend because of doftware comes with this laptop.

    HP has backup software so at least I can save the settings to factory default to a thumb bootable or pendrive so I need to restore the laptop at all times.

    Footnote:

    I just had a thought, once Windows 8.1 Pro x 64 was installed. And before you ask, but e thanks all the same, I created a PID file and ready to install Windows Pro 8.1 from a USB 3.0 to alrwady cfg. Once installed all I really need to do is install HP Support Assistant and download all the drivers who also records all drivers which is not pain but a lot of time.

    Thanks in advance
    Mel

    Hi Sybinx,

    Yes, use HP Recovery Manager (before the upgrade to 8.1 Win) to create a set of complete recovery (3 or 4 DVDs) discs or a 32 GB flash drive recovery. You will then be able to restore your system out of the box experience.

    You can also create a recovery flash disk by using the recovery located in Control Panel after the installation of Win Pro 8.1, (A 16 GB flash drive is required). An excellent tool for the call of advanced restore options when Win 8.1 will not start.

    In addition, please refer to this article which explains how to create a custom image refresh once you have your fully configured system. The instructions apply as well to Win 8.1.

    For more, but not all the software installed at the factory, you can find by browsing until C:\SWSETUP. Copy this folder to a disk external for use, if necessary, after installing Win 8.1 Pro.

    Have fun.

    If yes try to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and choose fix my computer. Then, you can start the recovery of HARD drive feature.

    If this isn't the case, you need a new Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. You can order such a drive here but it s for European models only:

    I searched all over the forums, but does not know how to create a recovery disk works for my laptop. I know it is run from a partition on the HARD drive, but I can't figure out how to access this partition. Should there be some sort of built-in utility?

    Thank you

    You can create the recovery only DVD disc if your laptop computer has preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator and factory settings.

    Please check if you can find this tool under start > all programs > Toshiba. There you should find shortcuts to launch this utility.

  • Satellite P200D Factory defaults recovery

    Hello

    I post here in the name of an old man who bought a Satellite P200D-PSPBQE, S/N 28160997 K (Vista Home Premium French) who has gone through a series of problems. He cannot attend his book himself and so asked me to fix it.

    The laptop has especially worked for two or three years until this summer when it has overheated (as I can judge by touching the case) and switched automatically a few times off the coast. At one point the laptop wouldn't even step to the BIOS.

    Here is a rough summary of what I did then:

    I began to open the case, but it seems too difficult, so I closed it back and use a vacuum cleaner to clean the dust in the vents, restarted the laptop and it are returned and very well for a while. At one point, the owner of the laptop mentioned a small bug crept once out of the laptop but I don't mind at this moment.

    After some time, Vista has experienced various gels (maybe explore buggy but I couldn't judge I never looked in the event viewer that I had no idea what kind of help the EV could bring until very recently). I thought that this could be due to the many automatic switchoffs who listens to the Vista system files. I ran sfc/scannow, who pointed out a few errors, but cannot fix them. Yet it is not attached to the gel. I stuff ready for the usual save the data/reinstall vista and drivers/restore cycle data.

    On the recovery discs: I asked the owner for all Toshiba drives, but it didn't, not even the recovery disk based 100MB.

    I thought that automatic recovery of factory default partition existed but that he could not find its start-up in the manuals coming with the laptop. I was curious and thought, Hey, I'll start the recovery partition myself with a boot partition tool. I ran the Partition Magic CD reported contradictory of the partitions on the first drive, which prompted me to repair it with suggested partition table values: I stupidly pressed Yes and then not really started (or so I think). I couldn't see any recovery partition only two 80 GB system partitions, and data were present. A race of Ranish Partition confirmed it.

    Yet, I tried to turn on the laptop while pressing '0' at the same time, as stated in some tech forums but it didn't not start any recovery procedure at all.

    I could not find the recovery disk creator in the menu program so I downloaded and it started and it reported, no partition recovery not found.

    As I found myself helpless without any recovery solution (I had not heard backupmedia.toshiba.eu) I downloaded a copy of Vista of P2P (Yes, it's bad, but I was impotent). This laptop has two hard drives of 160 GB, of which the second was not used. I exchanged the places of two readers, installed Vista using the product key from COA to empty disk. I installed the display driver and the retrospective data is restored and the laptop is back on the spot two, running OK, but still from time to time of freezing.

    Finally, I decided to call the assistance of Toshiba in France who reported to me on the backupmedia.toshiba.eu site where I can order recovery disks.

    _Before I order backup disks I have a few questions: _

    Can I open the case and do a thorough cleaning of any dust remaining/bugs/etc? (I guess that the answer is Yes) Are there instructions for that?

    Maybe hit the cpu overheating. Should I run a test of cpu and which?

    Overheating may have affected the memory modules. Running Windows Memory Test enough or do I run Memtest 3.x or later version to check the memory sticks?

    Is there really a recovery partition on the hard drive of this series (P200D-PSPBQE) system? If Yes and given the Partition Magic probably changed only the partition table, is there a way to restore the original partition table values and thus to restore access to the recovery partition? That would save me the trouble to order backup discs.

    backupmedia. Toshiba.EU offers you to order a backup for 35 euros drive about it's a drive to restore default factory containing Vista, drivers and tools, or just the basic restore disk that starts (currently absent) recovery partition? In the second case, how to restore the laptop to original factory settings?

    Thank you for reading this far, sorry for any English mistakes and thanks in advance for any input,
    Eric Ivanov,
    Grenoble, France

    > Should I open the suitcase and do a thorough cleaning of any dust remaining/bugs/etc? (I guess that the answer is Yes) Are there instructions for that?

    I wouldn't recommend disassemble the laptop. This should be done by a mobile technician who knows what to do if you want to remove dust or debris from cooling vents, I would recommend using a jet of compressed air and you may suck dust.

    > Overheating may have touched the cpu. Should I run a test of cpu and which?
    Perhaps this is possible, given that the laptop is two years (or more) and during this time, a lot of dust might collect inside the cooling modules.

    > Overheating may have affected the memory modules. Running Windows Memory Test enough or do I run Memtest 3.x or later version to check the memory sticks?
    A higher temperature can affect all parts of the laptop also memory, it was the case in my old notebook. BSOD was always because the memory could not be cooled. But I doubt that memtest would help you if the higher temperature would affect modules

    > Is there really a recovery partition on the hard drive of this series (P200D-PSPBQE) system? If Yes and given the Partition Magic probably changed only the partition table, is there a way to restore the original partition table values and thus to restore access to the recovery partition? That would save me the trouble to order backup discs.
    You cannot restore the HARD drive recovery partition. If you are not able to start the HARD drive recovery (pressing F8-> fix my computer-> HD recovery), you must order the disk from Toshiba Web page.

    > backupmedia.toshiba.eu offers you to order a backup for 35 euros drive about it's a drive to restore default factory containing Vista, drivers and tools, or just the basic restore disk that starts (currently absent) recovery partition?

    This s recovery disc that contains the image of Toshiba. Toshiba is a package that contains the Windows operating system (Vista), drivers, tools and additional software. Simply said; This disc would fix the laptop back to factory settings.

    Hope this might help a little.

  • How to reset to factory default settings, as if it was brand new?

    I have a laptop Toshiba L300. I want to reset the laptop to factory default settings.

    The reason is that whenever I use the browser firefox internet and explore when I do a search using the search engine, and when all the search results are listed and I click on a particular site, it takes me to a page at random. Once in a while, it may take me to the page I'm supposed to be after clicking on the site, but most of the time it takes to a crazy page irrelevant.

    So I downloaded another web browser (google chrome) and there is no problem at all. I hope that if I restore the default settings, the problem can be solved.
    Can anyone help?

    Hey,.

    Yes, I think reset factory settings would be best choice for this issue. You can use the recovery disk or recovery disk Toshiba feature.

    Where is the difference?

    -The procedure of recovery of HARD drive, you need to start using the advanced boot menu (F8) and repair my computer option. Follow the instructions on the screen and Windows will be resettled in the files on the HARD drive second. Only the first partition will be erased

    -The Toshiba recovery disc erase your entire HARD drive. This means that you should back up files on the second partition as well. In addition you must boot from that disk.

    Good luck! :)

    Hello

    He's a bad friend... usually it is not possible to restore the laptop on the factory (in the image of Toshiba) settings if you have removed the Vista HARD drive and not create the recovery disk...

    The recovery disk is THIS essential disk and must be created at the beginning!

    But maybe you're a lucky guy...

  • Cannot install Recovery factory default on Satelite A500 system

    Hello

    I can't recovery my system to factory default.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A500-148. She did with Windows Vista and a few months after I had received an upgrade to Windows7, Toshiba.
    One of the first things I did was to create a DVD recorey, and I still have it.

    Now I want to reinstall the entire system with Windows7 so I think do a default system recovery in the factory using the Toshiba HDD Recovery option. BUT I can't do that.

    Firstly I have red the instructions shipped with the laptop, and tried to follow the fashion.
    The instructions that I try to follow up was:
    -Reboot the laptop
    -press F8 during startup
    -Choose the entry "repair your computer".
    -Choose the layout of the keyboard
    -enter in my account to access
    The following options appear:
    -Startup Repair
    -System restore
    -Restore Windows complete PC
    -Windows Memory Diagnostic tool
    -Command prompt

    I expect the "Toshiba HDD Recovery" option, but this option is not shown.

    So, I ask for this help.
    I'm doing something wrong?

    Mind you, I already did (a software factory using the Toshiba HDD Recovery recovery option default) in the past, most exactily before installing the upgrade to Windows7. But it was a long time ago and I'm not sure all the steps that I had done.

    Kind regards
    Ricardo

    > Now I want to reinstall the entire system with Windows7 so I think do a default system recovery in the factory using the Toshiba HDD Recovery option. BUT I can't do that.
    After that update Win7, everything changes so if you have factory settings again use please created Vista recovery discs.
    > Notice, I already did (a software factory using the Toshiba HDD Recovery recovery option default) in the past, most exactily before installing the upgrade to Windows7.
    Fix. As long as you are using Vista, you will be able to use this option, but after upgrade is not.

    Reinstall Vista and later you can do what you want. Either use you Vista or Win7 to be upgraded again.

    Hello

    If the original HP recovery partition is intact then you should be able to create the recovery media.

    Before attempting to improve once again, use a hard drive of commerical known reliable product imaging in the image of your hard drive to external media.  This will save you a lot of time and effort, if you never experience questions requiring to return to a fresh factory restore and then have to go through the whole update process again. The image will also save you if your hard drive fails.  If the HP recovery media is the plain W8 then take the shot.  Then after all the updates are applied and your with set success to date to W8.1 and then take another picture.

    Thanks for posting on the forum.

  • Screen flickers on Satellite L300 and I am unable to create a recovery disk

    Hi all

    I just bought a model L300 PSLB0C 08R08C number.
    I was unable to create a recovery disk, I was getting an error message saying it cannot create disk because it is scratched or has dirt on it, I lost 5 nine DVD.

    I am went to the store and replaced by another unit, but had the same problem (I have not tried a different brand of DVD well)

    Second issue with this device, the screen flashes once whenever it is in a shutdown state.
    Number 3, the wireless card disappears from the Device Manager, until I restart.
    Laptop made in China ;-)

    Any suggestions are much apprecaited

    Hello

    It is indeed strange that you were unable to create a recovery disk, and that the problem has resurfaced, even after permutation of the laptop with another unit of the store. However, if you have not tried a different brand of DVD so I suggest that if the laptop asks the disc is scratched or has dirt on it. I'm not sure if toshiba factory in fact blank DVDs, but if they do, it would be a starting point, as one would expect hardware toshiba would happily work with their own brand DVD media. However, if you can't find toshiba dvd then use another trust mark, for example, Imation and TDK. with my experience, I have tried many brands of DVD and have found very reliable TDK.

    regarding the second question, this may be related to the graphics card in the system, or could be due to the performance of the computer laptop itself. Check that you have the latest driver for your graphics card and all the settings on the computer are optimized / hard drives are defragmented and deleted unnecessary files. with your third question, this question could also be related to driver problems, check your regional drivers toshiba site for the latest drivers again. failing this, I would back up your data and then restore to a factory condition, then install the drivers immediately. I hope this info can help you somehow.
