• Aspire V11Touch - possible problem of OEM partition

  Hello

  I think I know the answer to this question, but I hope I'm wrong... would be grateful some advice and/or assistance.

  V11 Touch came with W8.1 installed OEM. I made a disk image, a few days after purchase (not USB backup).

  I run virtual machines (XP and Vista) using VMware player, and to be honest should have done the same thing with a Windows 10 evaluation copy I downloaded,... but I did not. I installed the trial version, played a bit with it a bit, then tried to factory restore the V11 thinking all would be OK...

  .. .He was not...

  I couldn't do a restore to factory in any attempt to do so resulted in the copy of the evaluation being put back in place.

  OK, I know I did wrong, but my question is fairly simple. The W10 evaluation copy has erased the original score of OEM of W8.1? If not, how can I get everything?

  As I said I have an image of the computer before file evaluation copy has been installed. The original OEM W8.1 partition would be on this image? (I see 3 hard drive image files in the file system image).

  Disk Management displays currently 4 partitions - 600 MB (restore healthy partition), 300 MB (health EFI system partition), 449,26 GB NTFS (c :)) drive and 15.50 GB (recovery healthy partition).

  A new recovery disk costs about £50 and I think that my only option now is to return the computer to its factory condition (all software Acer present). I do not think that my disk image (taken before the copy of the assessment has been installed) will restore the OEM partition - I'm wrong?

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I guess 15.5 GB's initial recovery, because I can't see the content.

  If you wipe the HARD disk, delete you everything, even Acer recovery.

  in this case, you can order the shop acer recovery media if you are in the USA:

  http://store.Acer.com/store/aceramer/en_US/eRecovery

  or you call Acer support service if outside the USA.

• How can I remove an OEM Partition?

  I use my old hard drive as an external drive with a speaker.   I was able to remove the 2 partitions (1 had the OS) very well.  But there is now a left of the partition that I can't remove.  It says 63MB, healthy (OEM Partition).  When I right-click, I only get the option to help, and when I right click on the drive I don't get the option convert to dynamic disk.  How can I remove the OEM Partition?

  Thank you.

• Securing Win7-OEM-Partition to install Windows XP

  Hello
  I recently bought the Ideapad S205 with processor AMD Fusion E - 350 and Win7 preinstalled.
  After using Win7 for a few days, I realized that I neither need nor as this new OS. The good old WinXP fits my needs pretty good and I want to install it on the S205.

  If I knew before that I wouldn't Win7, I would have bought the S205 without BONES. Now that I've spent more money on the S205 with Win7, I don't want to lose the files to install Win7 on the OEM partition.

  Is there a way to save the Win7 OEM Partition on an external drive?
  After saving outside, I wipe all drive 500 GB of the S205, make new partitions and install WinXP.

  If (one day in the future), I want to go back to Win7, it will be possible to use the external drive as OEM Partition? Will be the function of the button One-Touch-recovery too, or should the OEM Partition on the HARD internal disk?

  Thanks in advance for your answers!

  You can burn recovery discs if you have some internal or external dvd rom.
  You can also use 3rd party applications such as norton ghost to create a copy of your hard disk image.

• Install Win 8 keeping the recovery OEM partitions

  Hello

  I recently bought a new HP Pavilion Sleekbook and it came with Windows 8 x 64 installed. Thing is that I use to make a clean install with the original disc of MS, mainly to get rid of all the bloatware of OEM pre-installed. Problem is I want to be able to use the OEM recovery partition to restore the computer to its factory condition any time.
  When I start my install Win 8, here is the partition table:
  Part 1 WINRE recovery 400 MB
  System part 2 without label 260 MB
  Part 3 untagged 128 MB MSR (reserved)
  Part 4 GB 674,4 unlabeled primary
  Part 5 RECOVERY 23.5 GB OEM (reserved)
  Question is which one of theses are safe to delete in order to keep things HP Recovery and the mechanism of F11 keyboard shortcut?
  My guess is that the part 2 3 and 4 are those that creates a normal installation of WIN 8, right? These would be the ones I want to erase?
  Part 5 is obviously the HP recovery partition so I will not format it, but what is WINRE partition? A new installation of original Win 8 turns off the ability of F11 keyboard shortcut?
  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  Recovery Windows (RE) environment is based on the environment of pre-installation Windows (PE) and can be extended to be a minimalist system to recover a broken system somehow.

  Windows RE is configured in configuration data for starting a system failover for the entry of MBR. If the bootstrapper fails on the default entry, it will automatically try to boot into the recovery environment.

  It is installed on the default system partition.

  The recovery partition is a partition of at least 300 MB. On systems with a formatted MBR disk BIOS, the recovery partition has the type 0x27. On systems UEFI with a GPT formatted the recovery partition has the GUID.

• Partition deleted lost OEM OKR

  By mistake when resizing, I deleted the OEM partition which stored a key recovery and want to call now. I googled a lot and read about setting up partition, but since the partition id is entirely deleted it does not work even after the partition set id. I touch s210 and a recovery key 8... Help, please

  Good day and welcome to the community.

  I believe that the only way that you will be able to recover from this is to contact the Service and get the disc of recovery for your machine. There may be a cost for the whole of the disc. Contact information for the India are below.

  Kind regards.

• Portege Z30T - Confused on partitions and recovery methods

  A few weeks ago, I bought a new PORTEGE Z30T-A PT24CE and upgraded to Microsoft Windows OS Version 8.1 Pro 6.3.9600 with its CDs. (it came with Windows 7 pre-installed)

  I have two questions that confuse me:

  1-) first of all, I got the laptop I upgraded to 8.1 win by a DVD burner. And I remember this time, he made a picture to copy at the end of the Windows installation. And then another reason I reset phone option "DELETE EVERYTHING AND REINSTALL WINDOWS. But SSD partition recovery recovery (since I don't use any DVD).

  My first question is: does make a difference to reset the PC from DVD of the TOSHIBA (which takes longer) than the reset of the image on the hard drive. I ask because if there is difference, I'll try new DVD reset.

  2-) when I check 256 GB SSD disk management I see the following disk partition (check the image below):
  [partition|postimg.org/image/57i99hsgr/]

  Here, there are the OEM partition and the recovery Partition. What is the difference between these two? Should I have them both? They occupy too much space each more than 8 GB.

  In regard to point 1)

  What software did you use to create the image after the update 8.1 Win?

  The fact is that the Toshiba recovery image was preinstalled on the laptop and recover the laptop using the recovery media (disk or USB key) or by using the procedure of recovery Toshiba HDD would reset the computer laptop back to the factory settings; on the same State as at the first day of the purchase.

  If you want to use another method of recovery or image, you reset draw the laptop to the State when the image was created.

  In regard to point 2)
  Unfortunately, somehow the link to the screenshot does not work
  However, as I said above: the Toshiba HDD recovery procedure redefines the laptop to factory settings and the recovery of image files is placed on a separate partition.
  This partition is very important to perform HARD drive recovery and create additional recovery media.
  This was the case for pre-installed Win 7 OS!

  The other partition may be created by Windows system after Win 8.1 install.
  I'm also a little confused about the image created...
  It would also be possible that this OEM partition is related to the image that you created after the installation of Win 8.1.

  In any case... it would be useful to know all the steps you did the upgrade...

  by the way: I also recommend you read some threads/posts on the topic of recovery here in the forum... This should help you understand the whole process

• The purpose of the partition named Lenovo?

  Hi, I tried to partition my hard drive and ran into a problem where windows wants to convert the dynamic disk, preventing Windows from starting.

  I discovered that the reason is that I have 4 partitions.

  1 System_Drv

  2 C: Windows

  3. Lenovo D:

  4. OEM partition.

  I would like to know the end of the 3rd partition named 'Lenovo' and if I could copy its contents and delete the partition with nothing spoil.

  D: Lenovo has any object other than a location for pilots? and is it necessary to do anything else? or safe to delete?

  Thank you!

  This is where software and drivers are in case you want to install clean Windows. You can put all the files on an external hard drive and merge this partition with partition of the OS, but a recovery key will not work after doing this.

• HP Envy X 2: laptop recovery partition (D) merged with another partition, not be able to create a recovery media

  I have merged my restore partition HP with another partition I created. Data recovery files are still intact in the New Partition. I have not created a recovery media. When I tried to create the USB Flash Drive recovery using recovery HP Manager media, I get the message that "recovery partition does not exist. How to get again the merged recovery partition and create a recovery USB Flash drive. If simply copy data from recovering files to a USB flash drive will work as a Bootable media in the case that need if in the future.

  @joy1964: should not have done that.  Messing around with the OEM partition somehow good enough recovery ensures it won't work not later, when you need it.

  Personally, I don't trust recovery integrated systems in any case.  You want to be able to recover from an image stored on a disk system large capacity Flash DRIVE or external.  In this way, if the disk fails, I can restore a functional system within minutes.

  Consider using a third-party product known as Macrium Reflect this.

  Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.
  
  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
  
  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  AND... you no longer have the recovery partition at all and can reuse that space for something else.

• Winner 8 - I need all the additional partitions?

  
  

  Hello

  You must keep the following:

  2. (without drive letter) - 260Mo - healthy (EFI System Partition)

  3 Windows (c) - 47,56 GB NTFS - healthy (start, page file, crash dump, primary Partition)

  You can delete the following partitions, but you lose the ability to perform a recovery of the system from the hard - however perform a 'factory Reset' using your USB recovery recreates all the original scores.

  1. (without drive letter) - 400 MB - Healthy (recovery Partition)

  4 recovery (d) - 11.29 GB NTFS - healthy (OEM Partition)

  If you want to delete the partitions 1 and 4, run Recovery Manager since its entry in the Start Menu (Mosaic) and you should see the withdrawal option listed in the title "Maintenance".

  Kind regards

• How can I create new partition for dual boot (Windows 7/Ubuntu)?

  My Z580 came with 4 primary partitions: the Windows boot partition; Windows OS & data (C drive); a "Lenovo" partition which seems to have the drivers and software pre-installed (drive D). and an OEM partition that is used for key recovery.

  I want to create a dual boot system, as if I had on my old laptop, so I guess I need to delete one of the existing partitions and create an extended partition. The best candidate seems to be the 'Lenovo' partition with the drivers and applications. Can I backup the data on this partition and transfer it to the C drive... or put it on a new logical partition?

  Alternatively, it would be preferable to save the OEM DVD recovery partition, and then delete and create a new extended partition? I guess that means abandon OKR, but I'd still be able to recover Windows of DVDs (?).

  I would appreciate anyone's help. I am far from being an expert or computer whizz, so if you can help, please keep it simple!

  In fact, you can get if you only change the size of the D: drive. I guess that your D: drive occupies about 25 GB. You can delete this partition and shrink the C: drive as 100 GB (or any size you like) and you can create a new D: drive. This way you can use OneKey Recovery and install the second OS on a larger partition and yet once again, I suggest you create Factory Default disc before you do all this

• Yoga 2 13: Recovery Partitions empty?

  On a whole new Yoga 2 13 (500 GB hdd), when I check the disk management, I see the following partitions: 1000 MB (has no volume label) "Healthy (recovery partition)" 260MO (has no volume label) "Healthy (EFI System Partition)" 1000 MB (has no volume label) "Healthy (OEM Partition)" Windows8_OS (C 424,26 GB 'in good condition (start-up) page... "Lenovo (D 25.00"Healthy (Primary Partition)"14,17 GB GB (has no name volume)"Healthy (recovery partition)"except C: and C: all other partitions are listed as being 100% free.). that is, they are empty. Shouldn't these partitions contain data recovery start?

  Ignore the above message. Apparently, when the walls are hidden (have no drive letter), windows disk management reports as being 100% free regardless of the amount is really used. (Quite misleading!).

• Iconia W510 which is available to default partition factory?

  Acer recovery Mngment said "the hard disk configuration is not defined to the default value of the plant.  Restore interrupted"on the two dining options. In disk management, the first partition is 400 MB OEM partition, 2nd partition EFI Sys 100 MB, then C: with 26,86 Go and finally the D: with 1.61 GB of data.  I got it second hand so I don't know its history.  Win 8 works perfectly, but I am concerned about the backup and restore if the time comes.

  Yhe 400 MB and 100 MB sound correct. The W510 32 GB did not come with a recovery partition, instead they included discs. I guess that the OS has been reinstalled from a disc from Microsoft instead of the Acer, creation of the recovery partition. Then someone set up the recovery partition (where the D.) What is in this partition?

  Hi jmfoss,

  Weolcome to the hp support forums

  The reason for so many partitions is the following:

  Your partion first and second are used to start the system.

  3rd partition is you your main partition where Windows is installed.

  Your fourth, fifth and support partitions that contain third-party software that are installed on the spot.

  The final score is were are software hp is installed during reimage system.

  When you press F11 and enter HP Recovery Manager will use the fourth, fifth and sixth partition to reimage your system.

  Hope this helps,
