Move the recovery partition

I have a new HP Pavilion p6 - 2220t, 4 GB ram, 500 GB hard drive. There the C: partition for the operating system (Windows 7 home premium 64-bit) and the D: partition of data as the recovery partition.

I want to split the C: partition into two partitions, one for the operating system and one for my data. If I move the recovery partition d: using 3rd party partition software (partition magic) without changing the drive letter, it still operates as a recovery partition?

Thank you for your help in advance.

I think that your concepts of misunderstandings. The 'C' partition can be divided into partitions, and the D left alone.

Here is mine, after the creation of partitions. I've never touched him was 'partition.

    Hello

    As long as you create your recovery media set - see link below-, so it should be no problem deleting the partition (moving it usually breaks its functionality).  If you need to use the recovery media to perform a 'factory Reset', this process will reinstall the OS and recreate all of the original scores, including recovery D.

    Create recovery media - Windows 8.

    About the removal of the recovery partition, you can often do this through the application Recovery Manager as shown in the HP document on the link below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00810279

    If this option is not available, you can simply delete the recovery Partition using Windows Disk Manager and extend c in the unallocated space.

    Kind regards

  • Save the "recovery partition".

    OK, I write in here as laptop has Vista on it right now, but I want to get rid and move to 7, however before I I want to save the "recovery partition" just in case where for some reason, I want to reset it to factory default.
    Now restart on Vista and using various boot disks I see I have 3 left
    * WinRE (f :)) 1.4 GB)
    * Vista (c :)) 116.2 GB)
    * Data (d :)) 115.1 GB)
    All NTFS incidentally.

    I guess I should save F disc as it is labeled WinRE and there is 3 files, these being 'archive_db' which has a file in there called 'arcdir', 2nd folder called 'sources' and there is a file called 'boot.win' and it is 203MB in size, more we also have the usual System Volume Information folder and finally in the root of the drive F We have a file called boot.sdi file, it is drive F.

    Also, I guess I have to back up a D drive folder as this file is called "HDDRecovery" here, you have 3 files at the root level that are called 'HDDRecovery.tag/ReadMe.html and Toshiba.jpg' and 3 additional folders called "ODDFiles/OriSetenv/swing".

    What I want to do is to save EVERYTHING that is necessary for each DVD or external drive, including the partition information then erase the entire disc or all scores, then start to put Win7, saying I want to make my own kind of recovery partition in an ideal world using option F8 to bring up some sort of option menu reinstall 7 or otherwise I'll just take a picture and then hide this partition of Nosy gits.

    So any advice is more then welcome and if you need more info from me only.

    Hello

    I fear that save only partitions will not help you m.

    The partition contains the image of Toshiba files that use by the Toshiba recovery disc Creator who creates a recovery disk. In addition, the image on another partition files can be used to perform a procedure of recovery of HARD drive, but I n t think that this option is available if you need to run a clean install.

    So if you want to set the laptop back to the settings the factory (in the future) then I advise to use a recovery disc.
    These discs can be created using the recovery disc creator software as mentioned at the beginning

  • 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

  • 2000-2d27cl HP: recovery file exist but the recovery partition has been changed

    recovery partition has been extended and after several months I had some problems, so I decided to reset my laptop to factory settings but Recovery Manager computer cannot recognize the recovery partition. Recovery partition has been extended and I use this partition as a backup partition for my photos, programs and music. The reason why I want to reset to factory settings is because my laptop in early labour right and after ten minutes start to work very slowly, I can't do anything!

    Help, please!

    Thank you for your answer, but I was already able to reset my laptop to factory settings. My recovery partition has been extended, but the drive letter is different. When I realized this error, I change the drive letter. Recovery Manager started smoothly with F11 taster during startup. So, I think that everyone can do the same thing, you can change the size of your recovery partition and you can use it as backup partition, but do not try to move or copy your restore file to any location.

  • How reduce the Win7 boot partition, then move the other partitions left in newly free space?

    Summary: How can I shrink/move partitions on my HDD 650 GB physical so that they reside in the first 500 GB of that drive?

    I have a newly purchased HP dm4-2070us laptop with Win 7 Home Premium (HP OEM) installed on the hard disk of 640 GB.  This hard drive is slow, so I would like to replace it with a 500 GB Seagate Momentus XT.

    In order to be able to clone all the partitions of the 640 GB drive for the smallest 500 GB replacement drive, I need to shrink the partition C: (main window), then move the partitions remaining 'left' ending up with all partitions in the first 500 GB of the disk so I can then copy this image to the new drive of 500 GB.

    I already have the software to clone the partitions of the 640 GB drive for the 500 GB drive.

    My concerns:

    (1) the administration tool Win7 disc printing should it allows me to shrink the C: boot partition, but I don't know if that can damage anything.

    (2) move the SYSTEM partition, or the partition RECOVERY left the impression that he could render the system unbootable.

  • Rebuild the recovery partition

    Hi all

    Since my macbook pro in construction since a backup time machine, I have no recovery partition. Not sure if the recovery of time machine is the cause, or that the guy who has this laptop (work) in front of me he erased accidentally.

    I tried to use the script of "Recovery Partition creator" on several occasions, but it did not work. It becomes very urgent to get the recovery as soon as I'm running into several issues that require me to have the partition:

    • Disk errors on my internal drive that requires a correction
    • Need to encrypt my hard drive
    • Try to resize my disk internal, so I can install El Captain next to my current OS X I just need to test before you lose access to the work of the features (earlier version cannot be installed as he does not like our proxy for example).

    Happy to go all the way to 'clean up' and then to retrieve locks of tiem machine, but no idea how to do things right :-(

    Any ideas?

    I feel that you are not the first user or 'owner' of the MBP.  If this is the case, I suggest the following:

    Back up all your data.

    Erase the HARD drive and start in the recovery of the Internet (OPTION-COMMAND-R) which will connect you to the Apple servers.  Following the directions, you will be able to erase the HARD drive and install the original OSX the MBP came with.  The recovery partition must be created.  (I guess that the MBP is a 2011 late model or newer).

    Install a more recent OSX (as appropriate).

    Reinstall your user data.

    Ciao.

  • 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.

  • Satellite C650 14U: recovery media creates the recovery partition?

    Hello, I used the recovery media creator to create a USB flash drive recovery media.

    If I can use that to restore Windows 7 installation on a new hard drive (as the SSD) will be the drive itself have the recovery media on that partition?

    So if I then lose the USB could restore again by pressing zero when turn?

    Or it does not retrieve the Windows partition and nothing more?

    Thank you

    First of all, the new hard drive itself has no partition recovery on it. The recovery partition is a copy of the system partition and locates at another location, therefore, restored from a recovery media unit contains just the partition system without recovery partition.

    Second, if you have a recovery on a local disk partition, you can always restore by pressing zero when power on/off. If this isn't the case, I am sorry to say that you don't you have no source of food.

    In third place, somehow, we can say that it only retrieves the system partition.
    PS: just my personal knowledge.

  • How to create a bootable DVD/USB since the recovery Partition?

    Hi guys,.

    So, I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-141 (of Greece) and my broken hard drive. Unfortunately, I lost my recovery discs. I changed my hard drive, I installed the operating system, but I would like to have my computers it was (with all crapwares... Wink)

    I found a guy with the same laptop and it can send the recovery disc. In fact, he has already sent the disc 2 (he sent me two copies of his CD online) that he created when he bought the laptop (by recovery media creator). However, these discs are not bootable and (I read) that you use just them and when you restart the system through the Recovery Wizard. Unfortunately, it has not worked for me (at least with the CD of my friend sent me).

    Do you know some way that I can do? I want to get my friend a recovery disk? Can he create an ISO of the recovery partition?

    Any suggestion is welcome!

    To be honest I n t have experience with such things, but I found very interesting document in the knowledge base of Toshiba - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm

  • Satellite P750 (PSAY1A) - How update the recovery partition?

    Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

    My Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022) the factory settings has 132 update of Windows that should be applied during the first pass. I had to run Windows update 4 times before she shows "up-to-date". Not to mention drivers Toshiba as well.

    I also want to include some applications (Microsoft Office and other software and utilities)...
    Overall, I spent 2 days just to bring it t the State I want in.
    But I can't just access the recovery Partition (of the less any of this!)

    If you look at disk management, the recovery Partition is not a Volume name and that the file system is empty. If I right click on the recovery partition... all I see is "Help" Option

    I tried to assign a drive by using Diskpart letter... but it doesn't show much.
    My guess is that it is GBT/EUFI.

    Does anyone have experience updating the recovery Partition?

    > Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

    What do you mean by update recovery partition?
    The recovery partition should NOT be touched!

    In which case you'd change the partition, the HARD drive recovery process could not be started!

    Probably, you have not understood the meaning of such a HARD drive recovery procedure.
    It's the option provided by Toshiba and the recovery of HARD drive allows you to establish the notebook to factory settings; on the same State as at the first day of the purchase.

  • HP 450-011: delete the recovery partition after upgrade to win 10?

    I have a new HP 450-011 and it came with Win 8.1 and the recovery with the letter D: drive partition.  I did the upgrade to windows 10.  I made a set of recovery DVD for win installation 8.1.  Is there a reason for me not to delete the D: drive and replace it with my information?  I seriously doubt I'll want to roll back to 8.1 Win.

    Greetings,

    Have you tested the Win 8.1 HP Recovery disks before installing Win 10?

    A question is: If you need technical assistance from HP tech for a possible hardware problem. HP normally requires that the factory installed operating system to take in charge. This policy of HP may have changed during the upgrade to win 10. I do not suspect.

    You can export the recovery, Partition because it will not work now in any case.

    But you need a way to go back to win 8.1 when you need HP warranty support.

    Since you have already upgraded to Win 10, the only way to check the recovery of 8.1 Win disks is to use them and start all over again. Or the support of disks/USB recovery HP Win 8.1 on a new equivalent or larger HDD or SSD. A good installation means that you have now the factory install on this disk.

    It's a lot of work.

    The problem of guaranteed support is your problem.

    I have eliminated this problem by installing Win 10 on a new SSD. I have HP Win 8.1 on a separate SSD and win 10 on a different SSD. Possible guarantee problem solution means earn 8.1 running on HP SSD factory to check the problem of winning 10 SSD.
