• Replace hard drive with any of the recovery discs...

  I have a Dell inspiron I5 3521 with widows 8.0. My hard drive has failed recently, and I stupidly did not have any backups previously. I tried to make one when I realized my hard drive was damaged, but I think the hard drive froze in the middle to catch her on the back. So I ordered a new hard drive online half. The original was 500GBP. New is 250. Now under the protection of Dell and restoring it freezes at 11 percent any action I take is to say system reset/factory reset to factory condition. Out of options. Out of my mind. Help, please. Friendly firs DIY attempt, geek team wanted $ 300 of ish to do this. Even with the problems I have, I still think it's a feature.

  How to get a CD restore partition?

  xxxChrispyxxx

  Dell does not provide a "recovery partition CD", they send only DVDs reinstallation of the operating system that was installed at the factory.

  If you are a resident of the United States and are the registered owner of the computer, a disk that contains the operating system specific to your system factory installed can be requested HERE.

  Note: Dell will charge for the disc, if there is no warranty

  If you do not live in the United States, contact the Dell Technical Support which is in your country.

• Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

  Hello

  I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.
  
  I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

  Thanks for any help.

  The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

  Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

  Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

  It makes you, thank you.

• Satellite L500 - 19 X - cannot use the recovery disk

  Well I had this phone two days ago and he used once after installing fire fox and my mobile to wide band of the driver and going to start and find it of going to happen.

  I tried SafeMode (three) and repair and all I got was a screen black with the cursor upward where it should have been a language screen (I used the recovery disc supplied with the notebook) so anyway, after finding out that I wasn't going to be able to fix it, I tried to install , but of course, this does not work, or so I put my XP 64 bit OS on and has perfectly worked, then I updated (using my own upgrade windows 7) and that works fine no problem, so I tried again with the original windows 7 comes pre-installed on the hard drive on the laptop and everything went find until she starts the installation of the driver or updates (I not 100% sure on this but it or after the installation of face recognition.

  Then it stops it of self down and boots back up to automatically restart and asking me if I want to repair due to a bad start, so I did the repair boots back to the top and still says I need to fix and can't find anything wrong and carries on in this circle.

  Now, I was told it could be the registry or there is a problem of graphics, I get pretty tired of having to install/reinstall/format this laptop.

  So if there is anyone who knows of what is wrong or what to do or whether it should be returned to fix, which will be very useful.

  I thank everyone in advance.

  Happy new year :)

  Hello

  Well, I think that it of really difficult to say what is the reason. Maybe the recovery disk is noisy or the files corrupted it.

  At the moment, I can t imagine what it s a hardware problem because other windows drive work properly.

  In your case, I would try to install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disc and then see what happens. If it works properly and that you can install all drivers & tools you need to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.

  Good bye

  cannot answer the calls when 'asleep '. Swipe will not work, but appeal continues to ring

  If you have not already, try to force reboot the phone by holding down the button sleep and home for 10 seconds, until the Apple logo comes back again. You won't lose any data, but it can cure a few glitches.

  If it does not, and to make sure that this isn't related software, set it back to factory settings, without using any data backup later. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone.

  If it still does not respond, it could be a hardware problem and the phone must be repaired by Apple or an Apple authorized Service Provider:

• Reset factory settings but the recovery disc is not recognized

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6-3030sd laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium installed OA.

  I want to restore it to factory settings, but is not possible using Recovery Manager, because he does not see my recovery Partition.

  Since I have recovery discs, I tried to restore my factory settings using the recovery discs.

  However, it is also not possible. Even after setting my BIOS (boot order first DVD player) the laptop not start using the DVD player.

  Then performed several actions (eventally I still adjusted registry) as mentioned by microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us?

  Still not possible to start using a DVD player.

  It goes the same for USB.

  I can use my DVD player and USB but I can't boot from them.

  How do I restore my laptop to factory settings?

  I still have my product key and I was able to record an English version of Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 as an image on a DVD.

  What can I do?

  Is it possible to mount it on my virtual DVD drive (BD - ROM drive) (so the picture of windows 7 in the virtual DVD drive and then install it?)

  I hope that there is someone out there who is able to help me!

  Hello

  Sometimes just set the boot priority in the bios menu does not work as it should.

  Try the following.

  Insert your 1st recovery disk, and then click stop the laptop.

  Now on TAP the ESC key as soon as you start the launch of the laptop Boot Menu.

  Select boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

• My hard drive is dying. If I bought a new hard drive, I could use the discs of recovery of re - install Windows 7?

  My hard drive on my HPG61 is dying (I already had an option of nine sales under warranty) if I bought a new hard drive and installed it myself the original recovery disks would put windows 7 on a new?

  Hi joeB47,

  "original recovery disks.

  If you are referring to records of recovery of the manufacturer that came with your computer or the recovery discs that you made from the recovery Partition, YES they can be used to reinstall Windows 7 on your new hard drive.

  This is what they are desigened to do.

• Satellite A200: Can I use the recovery disc without wiping the drive

  I read the threads on this forum, but I did not come with an exact answer to my problem.

  With my regular PC, I got a disc of Installation of Vista, which is also a recovery disk (like that could do with XP). One of the most useful things is that when you start from the disc you have an option to "fix" the system, which means that all the vital files (such as the bootloader...) will be restored, but otherwise all data will remain. This is extremely important when for example you install a dual boot with Linux, when often Vista refuses to start and to repair the boot loader has solved the problem. Of course it can easily and quickly fix all kinds of other problems in the system as well.

  My laptop Toshiba A200 (otherwise a wonderful machine), came with the Toshiba product recovery disc. From everything I read on the forum and what he says on the disc itself, I understand that it only allows a total reinstallation of the system, set at the factory, wiping your drive and everything on it.

  Toshiba really leaves us without a 'repair' option '?
  I find that quite amazing, because after all, I paid for the Vista operating system, so why shouldn't I get the options I would have if I had an original Vista disc?

  If all the above I have is right, it means that if I want to install a dual boot with Ubuntu and would get a bootloader problem, I loose all my data when I have to repair the boot loader? (A problem which, with the option 'fix', takes only 5 minutes to fix!).

  I would like to hear reactions, solutions, suggestions or alternatives.

  Thanks in advance,
  Yossi Beck

  Hey Yossi

  I think you have misunderstood something!

  You received with the image of Toshiba Toshiba Recovery CD! The image contains drivers Vista OS, Toshiba, tools, utilities, and additional programs!

  Please don't compare this disc for the original CD of Microsoft Vista and don t mix it!

  So using this disk, you can set the laptop back to factory settings!
  This is very useful because this procedure takes about 10 minutes only and you get everything functioning OS with all the drivers, tools, etc.

  Please note that no all users and customers who buy these phones are technicians and scientists ;) but simply newbie and such possibility of recovery is always welcome!

  but the use of this recovery CD format the whole HARD drive and erases all partitions.
  That is why it s advisable to back up the data before using the recovery CD/DVDs

• Hard drive replaced, but the recovery disc may not work properly

  Oh here, my laptop (Acer Aspire 7730) will not start.

  I believe that I made the correct recovery disks when I got the machine before he fell, but I recently replaced my keyboard and hard drive with the same components after damage was inflicted on my laptop and I tried to run the steps in Acer recovery since the restore disc 1. He seemed fine, but after installing the 2nd disc I have now "BOOTMGR is missing" "Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart" and cannot get it to load the backup that I did when the machine was working before-hand. I can get into setting up and see that the hard drive is now identified in the list of hardware (it was empty when the broken hard drive was still mounted), maybe someone can suggest some options to solve the my problem please?

  I just checked the recovery disc 1 on another machine and found these folders and files on it...

  http://i812.Photobucket.com/albums/zz48/Vanguard_01/VistaBootdisc1.PNG

  Is it possible that the backup that I did was for a specific hard drive, and because this HDD is different it won't find anything?

  Thank you

  Hi Debleena5 and thanks for the suggestions, but I've reached the re-installation of the disc by using a bit 'out of the box' the thought process.

  I bought a box 2.5 "SATA to connect to any computer via the USB port to try to get something on the corrupted hard drive, but this failed. I then removed my new hard drive (which began at start up OK, as I mentioned in the question above) and placed in the case and plugged into my Windows 7 laptop. Once he had run up to speed I started to explore to see what files (or even at all) had been transferred during one of my recovery disks. I've not found much until I changed the "do not show hidden files and folders check" save a file that has been locked after you change the permissions, I went further and ended at the request of then ran CHKDISK and of course he scanned my drive and found and corrected some errors very quickly. After that, I unplugged then I went back to my Vista laptop and re-inserted the new hard drive in the broken machine.

  At this point, I was wondering if the disk drive on the machine may also have been damaged so I plugged a DVD player external via USB and changed the sequence to boot to the USB device. I started the laptop and the drive started to load the files and I could then complete the resettlement of these two disks and then to set up the machine as if I had just bought it.

  I'm very relieved that I managed to sort it out and now I have to upgrade to Windows 7 on this laptop that I read on and seems easy. Just a shame I can't copy the installation of my 2nd, portable more recent.

  Thanks again,

  Vanguard_1

• Re: Cannot use the recovery on Satellite L505D partition

  Hello.

  I am trying to help a friend with their Satellite L505D who had a serious virus problem. I wasn't able to run/install programs with the virus on it. I used a Microsoft tool to remove the rootkit trojan, but I always had problems with viruses. I also lost most of the programs on the computer. All folders were empty (except for some games), so I could not access all of the tools in this way. I could not the machine to load any Toshiba restore utility by pressing zero everything with power. I saw some recovery using F8 during the startup options and had a link to restore the original setting of Toshiba, but clicking that choice has done nothing else a break for a few seconds. I waited several minutes, clicked on it again, rebooted and tried. Nothing. As a side note, once all the while, the recovery partition was visible from explorer.exe. Not before or since.

  So I reformatted the computer with a 64-bit Win7 Home Premium Upgrade disk (the partition of restoration by leaving intact) and then enter the key for the system. Supprise, supprise, it asks me to activate within 3 days.

  My basic question is, can I access this partition recovery in a different way to use it? IE copy its contents, or start on some comand prompt to log e:?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

• Re: Portégé R700 - 15 p - cannot use the recovery on SSD 64 GB cd

  Hello

  I replaced my HARD drive to a low size of 64 GB SSD.

  Unfortunately I can not run the recovery cd, he stuck with the error "not enough space".

  I found that I got stuck when he tries to create the DATA partition (for storing the HDDRecovery)

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Please don t create all partitions if you want to use the recovery image. Before installation of recovery partitions will be created automatically and recovery image will be copied on SSD automatically too. So please don t do something.

  Launch the installation of recovery, follow the on-screen menu and choose State factory installation.

  Have you tried to format the HARD disk until you try to use the recovery disk?
  Sometimes, I read in the forum that this may solve the problems with the recovery disk and so you can take the Windows XP disc or another tool that is able to format the drive.

  But after that, you have the Toshiba recovery disc. You are not able to use the HARD drive recovery feature.

• Cannot use the recovery on Satellite P100-227 disc

  I recently bought a laptop and decided to reset via the provided restore disc, to my surprise after having inserted the recovery disk and restart the notebook goes directly into Windows. Even if I went into the BIOS and set the CD/DVD drive as a starting point to the top, or even after pressing the F12 key.
  When the laptop is turned on the drive says that there is no data on the DVD, a double click on the DVD, it says 'insert the media into the DVD drive.

  My previous phone was a Toshiba Satellite 1900 303 and just to test and see if it was a problem with my recovery media, I've used the support of recovery on the P100 and it took me to the correct recovery screen. Then I swapped the media and used the recovery on the old 1900-303 Toshiba P100 and he returned to the correct recovery screen. This got me thinking so I tried a little more data CD / DVD and to my amazement it will read the DVD-R.

  No idea...
