  > Satellite Pro L40 - how to make a dual boot with two recovery disks?
  Short answer: you can't do that. Maybe if you have two hard disks (I tried didn't) but as much as I know your SP L40 has only one.
  Ask this smart guy, how to do this. Maybe it's a useful tip.

• New Windows 7 booted from the recovery disk appears not all hard disks?

  So basically, I used my recovery disk. re installed windows very well. But my second hard drive is not displayed. Also, I think that one of the drives are slower, then the other. So which driver should I use as primary and who should I use for backup? Here it shows that 2 drives are not recognized. Ask any more questions if necessary.

  Thanks for the help.

  

  You have one disk (disk 0) with three primary partitions. The 1st is the partition that Windows installed on it. The second partition seems to be empty (open Windows Explorer to check for this, do not forget to set options for the Explorer to view the hidden files and folders) and the third is the "system" Partition which should not be assigned a drive letter.

  Not sure why your recovery disk created as 186GB 2nd partition but if its empty that could be deleted and the Windows partition extended in "Unallocated" space formerly occupied by the second partition.

  Note: I would call the manufacturer of your PC support team to find out the answer as to why you have this second partition (that you have assigned the drive letter E: to) before doing anything to this partition.

• Cannot detect the boot device after factory new HARD drive format

  First of all, I have a HP Pavilion G6 I bought in December 2012. Yesterday, I decided to make a new record HARD to upgrade and start over. It is a hybrid SSD + HDD 1 TB of Seagate. It installed without a hitch, and I used my HP recovery CD to make a factory disk formatting.

  He finishes, reboot, but instead to restart the HP Windows 8 installation screens, he goes to what looks like Windows 8 course mode with a box containing the date, time and he said something in the sense of 'Installing the driver HP diagnostics' with an OK. By clicking on that or didn't disappear, and there is a command line bar in the lower left corner of the screen.

  The screen becomes a HP screen that begins to install the drivers. It ends and restarts to a black screen that says "no boot device not detected, please install OS."

  I did a disk check and that's fine. I swapped my reader, and it loads fine. In fact, it's what I use now for this type.

  What could be the problem here? The boot order has never changed in the BIOs. If it was the faulty connector I doubt he would charge the reader who was always in the computer. Load disc newly formatted in an external case indicates that Windows 8 is indeed on this subject, but on a 93GB partition even if the disc is 1 TB.

  I'm in a stalemate here, and nobody seems to know what to do!

  It was indeed the hybrid propulsion system. I exchanged for a normal HARD drive and resetting factory completed without a hitch. It was the mistake on my part! I never guessed it would have been the problem.

• Cannot boot from OS recovery Disc - hard drive again

  Hello.

  I had some problems with my computer for a while.  This week it stopped starting up, so I ran diagnostics from the utility partition, and it seemed pretty clearly indicate that the hard drive had a few significant flaws.  This was not unexpected, and I have all my data backed up on an external drive, so I bought a new hard drive.

  The problem I'm having now is that my system does not recognize my operating system recovery disk.

  I made sure my CD player is set as a first priority and tried to force it in the start menu, but it is on a black background with a blinking cursor, or says "No Boot Device available"

  I tried the drive in another computer, and I can read here very well.

  I ordered a replacement from Dell recovery disk, but I don't know if there is anything else I should try.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Yes, if the reader is made bootable.  See here:

• no boot device after replacing the hard drive

  Hello world!

  My laptop (MSI) has erupted recently in my face (Fried GPU seems).  As I had and liked (Acer laptop) which had a broken hard drive, I have supported up to my datas and replaced the hard drive of Acer (one broken) with that of my MSI (latest laptop)

  When I start the computer I get the message no bootable device: "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any."

  I am not very savvy computer science, but I feel that it is perhaps due to the version of Windows I was using: my Acer running on Windows 7, when my MSI will run on window 8.  Could someone confirm if this has something to do with the startup problem?

  Here's what I managed to do or find on the problem.

  When I go into the BIOS, I changed the order of precedence so that my hard drive is the first priority.

  There is absolutely no USB or SD card in my computer from where he might try to start (unless he's trying to start from an empty?).

  The BIOS is able to tell me the model and I installed the hard disk MSI series so I guess that it is able to detect the hard drive, but can not find startup data in it (that's why I think it's maybe because it isn't the same window).  In addition, the hard drive lights up when I start the computer (and he did it on the MSI laptop too).

  Even if the hard drive seems to be detected, I always tried to unplug and reconnect it a few times to make sure it wasn't just a matter of bad connection.

  On many web sites, they recommend taking any diet and empty any current computer before restarting: unfortunately I can not do because the Acer laptop has a battery that is not easily accessible as newer computer (it cannot be removed from the outside, I need to open the laptop to get it and it is so I can know what it look like and how to remove it)

  My brother managed to recover data from hard disk of MSI with a USB device that plugs on it, so I don't think it's broken.

  The computer is an Acer Aspire 5830TG.  Replaced hard drive is a toshiba MK6459GSXP (works on Windows 7) and the replacement is a WD7500BPVX - 22JC3T0

  I want to apologize if my English contains errors, it is not my mother tongue :)

  Please let me know if you need more information and I thank you for your help!

  Hello

  You cannot move a hard drive with Windows 8 on it from a computer and put it in another machine that were previously running Windows 7 and expect it to work.

  It will not.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And even if it would work physically, legally you cannot transfer the license of Windows 8 of the MSI laptop Acer laptop to your situation:

  Read this information:

  If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

  The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

  License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

• Pravilion dv7 series replaced after the recovery disk hard drive failure

  I tried to use the portion of my drive recovery hard when my laptop Pavilion dv7-4173 US could not operate.  After trying the hard drive recovery part several times I got an error message saying that the bootmgr is missing. I tried using the recovery discs I got to the store, I bought the computer before taking it home, and they failed.

After several days, I learned the recovery disc where no good/damaged. When I contacted the store bought told me that I had to bring in the laptop and recovery disks. They replaced the hard drive, saying: that was the problem, but do not partition. They decided to classified until the system OS of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit., but did not try the recovery disks. Can I use the recovery disk, they made me, if are good restore the laptop back to factory new?  I know he will place the operating system Windows 7 Home back on the computer, but I want that all return provided with computer programs. I'll be able to upgrade the Professional operating system? I have the disc of Windows 7 Professional.  If my restore disk will not work, can I use the recovery disc, only 2 discs instead of 6, I can buy from HP and then move on to professional?

  Thank you.  Computer to factory fresh.  Just update software and then go to Windows 7 Professional

• Re: Satellite P200 - 1 K 8: used twice recovery - disk HARD size question

  Hello

  I was wondering if you could help with a little advice, I had to get my laptop p200 yesterday, it went well, but I noticed there was a 14 GB used in my hard drive, I know that vista is pretty big so I thought nothing of it, but due to an error of installation of some software, I had to get back again , this time I seem to be almost 24 GB used when there is no vista just the files on my computer. (I uninstalled all the software Toshiba because I don't use it either) any body have any ideas what it could be I know not on the score of 1.5 GB for the recovery, but I'm stuck as to where ive lost 10 GB

  Any ideas or help would be very appreciated

  Concerning

  Richard.

  Oh I forgot to add I can't with partition magic and I've added the files I have 7 GB now in program files and an installation of vista 14FR adds up not to anywhere near 36 GB, which is what is used on my hard drive

  On my laptop, setting it up like this:

  200 GB HARD DRIVE

  1.5 GB for Vista EISA (used to fix Vista) recovery partition
  6 GB for the recovery Partition Toshiba (used when you restore the HARD drive to its factory State)
  190 GB for Vista (its really about 178GB GB vs BillionByte of conversion and the Table of Allocation of files)

  In Control Panel-> Admin Tools-> computer-> Storage-> disk management management, you can see the partitions. Take a look here for something unusual

• Remove Xp in Dual Boot Vista/XP with disk HARD 2

  Hello. I have Xp Pro saved on a HARD disc C, and professional Vista registered in D.  I want to run vista exclusively and remove it from my PC, additional HARD drive which has XP on it. When I try to format it, I can't obviously because the XP HDD is my system drive. I tried to unplug C with XP Pro on it and just get plugged with Vista Business d, but then I get the ntldr and boot.ini lack type errors.  I copied ntldr and ntdetect files on my Vista drive. I also received the error, no os boot from C:\Windows.

  I found how to remove xp on one partition, but not when you have separate HDD.

  Any help?

  Thank you.

  Hello Fullerfyed,

  Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

  Try the rest of the stage in this article:

  Simply load in Vista and format the partition ON THAT XP is installed. As the Vista bootloader has control of the boot, there is no need to change the XP boot.ini file.

  Restart your computer with either 1 Vista CD or your DVD of Vista in the player, if you don't you will be prompted to select an operating system. Once in Setup, choose repair console in the first screen (not install).

  Now, the last option is a DOS prompt, choose that.

  A DOS prompt appears, and then type the following:

  Bootrec.exe /fixmbr

  * This will essentially remove XP from the Vista bootloader

  Bootrec.exe /fixboot

  * This will verify that XP is no longer present in the boot.ini in Vista

  Reboot and XP is history.

  This should solve your problem.

  Let us know if these steps solve your problem.  I hope the information is useful.

  Kind regards

  ->, I installed win 8.1 on my ssd (installed by me in the DVD slot)

  -> I forgot to activate the mode UEFI BIOS before installing win 8.1 (executed in legacy mode)

  --> the problem with the firmware update is that it resets the default bios options (here UEFI is defined)

  Hello

   

  1. What is the brand and model of the laptop?

  2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

   

  Method 1:  Change the boot order in the BIOS settings:

  See the following steps:

  Important: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  (a) start on typing Dungeon either F1, F2, F10, Esc, or DEL to enter the BIOS Setup.

  Warning: some manufacturers use F10 for recovery of the system.

  (b) glance to "Drive Configuration", "Boot order" or similar

  (c) check the second drive the first boot device CD/DVD and hard drive.

  (d) to save the settings and exit.

   

  Method 2:

  Step 1: Trying to boot into safe mode and see if that helps.

  Start your computer in safe mode:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  If step 1 work, try step 2

  Step 2:  A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.
