No partition recovery or disk - what to do next?

Hard disk failure has lost all partitions, including the recovery. I have no recovery DVD (not my computer!) but I managed to save some data before all went. Now need Win7 installation files, but cannot find in the downloads. These are provided by Toshiba? The license is in Win7 Home Premium. Any help much appreciated...

You're right about the key product. The key that you will find at the bottom of your laptop is part of the original that you got with your laptop. Preinstalled software are bundled with the hardware. When you buy your laptop, you will pay for one valid license that was used for the version of the OS preinstalled. Unfortunately this product key cannot be used if get you the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version of the OS.

I guess the images of recovery must be controlled and Toshiba must ensure that certain person who have bought the book can get a copy of the image on the right of recovery (initially offered with the laptop).

  • Recovery using HP disks to install 2 hard drives in place of very low partitions on both disks, now what?

    HPm9400z crashed and I thought that it is a good time to put in a bigger hard drive.  Installed a 1000 g and 300g original discs.  I used the recovery disks that I sent there for (recovery hard disk does not work) to start a new one.  Install windows on the new drive of 1000g.  Recovery went well, windows vista, it works...  BUT hard drives now only shows 50g and 15g each.  How can I fix it?  I tried to make a bootable DVD to reformat the drive HARD 2 (old school?)  but could not figure out how to do this in Vista.  Any suggestions?  Or should I just get a Mac?

  • HP Pavilion DV8el Entertainment recovery and disk partitioning C

    Someone must have done this before, but I can't find anything...

    I had to replace the C drive of bad sectors, and now the recovery disks that I had done three years ago crash with a blue screen on the partitioning of the disk.

    Nothing can be installed via that * beep * discs (i.e. of the news because I've never used it before!)

    I get clean up a ghost image of the entire disk C (it has been corrupted), the partition partition, so I really want to use it to recover my configurations and software. But I don't know how to do this without going through the ununseable recovery disks.

    The problem seems to be that Ghost is looking for the four original scores and since he can't find them he does not know where to install the data C... Can I manually partition C? I have a Mint 13 Linux system on a bootable USB, so I can ride and the C format, I just need to know HOW (HIDDEN FAT32, NTFS,...) and what size/flags to give partitions...

    I hope someone can help! Thanks 1million, Gabriele

    I understand that you need to restore the software from your system after replacing the HARD drive.

    You mentioned that you have a ghost image.  Are you referring to Norton Ghost?  If so, what version of Ghost was used to make the image?

    If you don't have a ghost, this thread may be useful for you.

    http://community.Norton.com/T5/other-Norton-products/how-do-I-restore-ghost-image-to-a-new-hard-drive/TD-p/540018

    In addition, this document covers restoring a Ghost image on a new disk using Ghost 15.

    I suspect that the process is similar for other versions of Ghost.  Once I have the exact version of Ghost, I'm able to find something more specific to your version of Ghost.

    Even if it is very slow, you must make a return upwards before the race "repair disk". The risk of data loss is minimal, but do it anyway: Save and run to repair the disk.

  • Windows 7 creates a RECOVERY PARTITION? __Si Yes, what size?

    Windows 7 creates a RECOVERY PARTITION?
    If so, what size?

    Yes, it creates a 200 MB recovery partition:
    This is for the Windows recovery environment (WinRE), also supplied with Windows Vista, only it has been available from the Windows Vista installation disc only, although some manufacturers make available on a partition separated on their factory facilities. In Windows 7, this feature is installed on all computers and is stored in the 200 MB partition if you are installing using a single partition scheme. However, if you are installing to a drive that has more than one partition, the recovery environment is stored in a folder at the root of your installation disc, so if you install to a partition with a label of C:\ she will be C:\Recovery.

    To access the system recovery environment in Windows 7, simply start your PC, just before the system loads the Windows operating system. Press the [F8] key function 8 on your keyboard which will launch the menu Advanced Boot Options. You will see a new option "Repair your computer", select this option and press 'Enter' on your keyboard.

  • How to undo the Partition of the disk on El Capitan

    Hello

    I have a disc of SSHD TB 1, I had been running on my Macbook 2009 6.1 for on a few months or more.  Because I wanted a partition to use Time Machine, I had partitioned the drive by on 50-50.  Things have been working quite well until I recently made the mistake of trying to resize the partition and accidentally created a new partition (which I didn't).  Is it possible to cancel the new partition (as do not have here in the first place) and that the primary drive where I start with about 700 GB and "partition" I want to keep to 300 GB (so I can use Time Machine to back up the main drive)?

    I tried to find "logical volume" or the "+ -" options on my disk utility interface, but they are just not there for me to use.  This computer is running on El Capitan.

    Thanks a lot for helping me.

    Certain rules and conditions apply. Most of them are described here:

    • Utility disk (El Capitan): partitioning a physical disk

    There is also a second disk within OS X Recovery utility, not

  • Cannot find the partition recovery on the Satellite A200-1BP

    Hello

    First of all, I have a Vista Home Premium 1BP A200 and I lost the product recovery disc and I want to create one with "Recdisc.exe" product of Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator or Vista.

    They both failed because I didn't get a message "No disk HARD recovery Area!", then I looked in the "Disk management" section and could not find any partition without a name.

    There were two primary Partition which were 1.46 GB 'in good condition (EISA Configuration)"and my Vista (c).
    So, what should I do? Can I create a recovery partition?
    Or can I set the Recovery Disc Creator? (v. 5.0.0.5)

    PS: I got my computer several times with my CD, which probably used my recovery partition.
    Seriously, I'm out of ideas and I don't want to lose 50 dollars just to get another copy of disc PR.

    PS2: I used press '0' and 'F8' thing too, they no longer work.
    Is there a way I can restore without any disk?

    It seems that the recovery of HARD drive partition is missing
    The first 1.46 GB partition is automatically created by Vista and the C partition is the system partition, the partition of HARD drive recovery doesn't seem to be available

    > PS: I got my computer several times with my CD, which probably used my recovery partition.
    Retrieve you the Vista using the recovery disc or what drive did you use?

    If you have installed the system using Microsoft Vista disk then, it was a big mistake because it deleted the partition of HARD drive

    > Is there a way I can restore without any disk?
    Either you use a Vista MS disk and missing drivers, which you can download from the Toshiba page or you order the Toshiba Recovery disk don't see another solution

    "Partition recovery has been deleted" Message in creation of recovery media.

    I bought my new HP pavilion laptop G4 two days ago only and has not changed anything in the two players named drive C: for windows and D: for HP Recovery.

    now, I want to do a recovery with the HP Recovery Manager software disk.

    but it shows a Massage: "Recovery of Partition was deleted" Recovery Media creation section.

    in the recovery Partition my computer is almost full (3.26 G 25.5 G is free). so I think that there are current recovery files.

    I have not access to HP to buy recovery disk or call support.

     

    Thank you

    I don't know why your PC is saying your partition disappeared - you're right, it seems to be missing. I know that if you use the wizard to help to make your recovery disks backup copies and then ask him to remove the recovery partition to give you more space on the hard drive, it will remove the factory image HP of Windows 8 for the recovery partition and let the normal Windows repair tools.

    There are tools, but which allow you to create your own recovery partition full with these tools of Windows repair and a new image of your instalation so that you can restore from that. You can use this tool: Windows 7/8 - creator of Partition Recovery OEM available here: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/21978-Windows-7-8-OEM-Recovery-Partition-Creator but it's a lot of work and it would be faster and more easy just for your data backup and restoration of your HP recovery disks made you from the support Assistant. If you did not the disks, HP can opt to send you a copy... they do not normally this but I read that some people have luck to get a free copy of HP media... otherwise, they want you to buy recovery disks ($40.00). I guess it depends on the exact terms of your situation.

    An alternative is to use Macrium Reflect Free Edition to ghost or clone your system. You can then restore your entire system even with your custom programs installed, to the exact state it was when you made the backup image. (this may take several dvd) I suggest that you go down that road because your system with Macrium Reflect restore is much faster than restoring from the HP recovery discs. Even if you do not get another copy recovery disks, you must use this tool to make another backup that you can customize to your liking. Your re - installs will be faster, they will already have your chosen installed software, and you will save wear on your HP recovery disks.  You can then delete the recovery partition to regain this space on your hard drive (since you cannot access in all cases, you will not need this space being taken up).  BUT... you cannot restore Mode UEFI which is what HP comes with. You have to go into your Bios settings and switch in the Legacy Bios mode (which disables the secure boot) FIRST or else the Macruim recovery boot disk will not load to install the recovery image. After the system re - installs you can go back into the bios settings and disable bios Legacy and reactivate if secure boot you want. (Windows 8 charge mode UEFI bios active secure boot or Legacy mode... it's your choice.) UEFI mode will load faster, but it will cause problems if you want double boot the system with another OS) hope this helps.

  • HP Pavilion: Recovery Partition & recovery media

    Hello

    I searched the Forum but have not found exactly what I needed to know.

    I installed a couple of updates to windows, and now no software will open outside of google chrome. Registry appears to be corrupted, and if I get an early state, yet windows seems to have a problem, could used to install anything. So I guess my only way out is to back up my files and perform a system recovery.

    But I have a few questions on the recovery of this system.

    I have a HP Recovery partition, but I never created a recovery disk (it always shows me a reminder), so here are my questions:

    (1) if I create the DVD of recovery (as requested by this reminder of HP), it will remove the recovery Partition?

    (2) if I don't create the recovery DVD and use the HP system recovery, it remove the recovery Partition after recovery?

    (3) if I make the recovery of the system (without DVD), I'll be able to create the recovery DVD after? Will it keep showing me the reminder?

    (4) if I do a recovery of the system (without DVD), will I still be able to use the Recovery Manager software? If I create the DVD, I will still be able to use it?

    I ask this cause I'd rather have my recovery on the HARD drive on a DVD, but I'm afraid that a recovery of the system will delete the partition recovery and software.

  • System stuck on initiallizing partition recovery Toshiba Satellite A305 with Vista o/s HELP!

    My system crashed this afternoon. Several times, I tried running the system since the partition and then recovery from disk ordered directly from Toshiba. The system will run the recovery VERY slowly (usually taking more than 20 minutes to get to the point where I wonder how I want to restore the system. I tried all the options available (personalization of the size of the partition, back out of the box, etc.) to get to the next stage where it begins "initiallizing partition" and it hampers is permanently in this screen.

    Knowing that previous screens have taken a lot of time to load from disk, I even let it run all night and it never progresses a plus! Help, please! I just want to get all work as it did when I got it! I had many problems computer through the years and generally could fix with little or no help, but I've never seen a computer get hung up always runs the recovery of its own system.

    Please let me know if you have answers for me! Fortunately, I will provide additional details related to the technology if you need it to help diagnose the problem.

    I thank all those who are willing to help in advance!

  • Recovery USB disk is not bootable

    Hello

    With HP Recovery Manager, I created a recovery USB disk. FWIW, on a SDHC card that is connected via a USB card reader. Verification of the media after creation of Recovery Manager would have as much success. However, the disc seems to be not not bootable. Another bootable SD card I have (with stock image Windows on them) starts very well through the same USB card reader.

    What I did wrong, and what are my other options?

    P. S.
    By pressing F11 (with attached USB recovery disk) does not work on startup as well: a regular OS from the HARD internal disk boot is started. Although, I don't know if the F11 is supposed to work now - the recovery partition I already deleted, via the Recovery Manager itself.

    Thank you
    Konstantin

    Hello

    I contacted HP Support to request for a media alertnate recovery disk as described in their documentation. Contrary to their claim that they keep the versions of recovery media for this event - I was told that they do not provide these media recovery media.

    So I did the next best thing - downloaded a utility called TestDisk. After review of my USB - it seems that everything is in place (she spends the creation of media after all verification stage). The partition is marked primary and Bootable. However, I suspect that the MBR was not written. What else is there to conclude if the disc does not start - so I used the MBR version provided by TestDisk - and walah - disk can start now.

  • Re: Tecra A4 - how to use partition recovery to recover the XP

    I recently bought a laptop Tecra A4.
    Everything was going well until I decided to install windows Vista on it.
    It has become too slow.
    I would like to reinstall the XP that comes with it.

    There is a partition recovery of HARD drive here, but im not a very experienced user I don't know how to proceed.
    I read the user guide on the HARD drive recovery utility, but by pressing 0 at startup did not help.

    Any help would be extremely aprecciated.

    Hello

    Stand by. What recovery on the HARD drive partition do you mean exactly?
    As far as I know Vista has formatted the whole HARD drive and created two partitions; one for the system (partition C) and the second partition for the restoration of the system are hidden (not visible).

    I guess you must restore the supplied XP from the recovery CD Toshiba operating system if you want to install the XP again.
    In my opinion, it's the fact and the quickest way to get back the XP on the laptop ;)

  • 8460P with no partition recovery or recovery manager - how to recover?

    Hi all

    I have a P-8460 that I want to return to the factory settings, but it does not have a recovery partition and I can't find any sign of Recovery Manager. However, I have the recovery disks initial (a Windows HP disc and a diskette of drivers and applications).

    I booted from the Windows disk but it begins to reinstall Windows and all the documentation I've seen leads me to believe that it should load up Recovery Manager. Is this true or do I go through the process of reinstalling Windows first?

    Finally, I cannot find any mention of Recovery Manager on the application disc, is installed elsewhere?

    Ideally, I want a factory fresh install with a recovery partition and the recovery manager installed.

    Can someone give me points?

    Was there ever a recovery partition?

    Much of class notebooks HP business have not a partition recovery or recovery manager, only the disks to use.
