• What is the correct recovery process once upgraded to Windows 10? (No OneKey Recovery)

  I have a cell phone Z50-70 which is preinstalled with Windows 8.1. It is an OEM version, with the product key that is stored in the Bios. This is an installation of UEFI.

  The vehicle currently has OneKey recovery installed, which, if I understand well (I've not used actually still), allows you to recover from a hard disk recovery partition. This is not a "fresh" Windows 8.1, but an image provided by Lenovo that take back you to the State the laptop was bought originally (will have all software Lenovo and preinstalled drivers).

  According to the official upgrade guide Lenovo, before performing the upgrade of Windows 10, we should uninstall basically all software from Lenovo, including OneKey recovery and it won't work in Windows 10.

  Issues related to the:

  1. What is the correct process to recover the system from Windows 10 if something goes wrong? I think that Windows 10 integrates a feature "Reboot your computer" in the settings which I suppose is what we are supposed to use. It would take me to:

  a. a completely new install Windows 10?

  b. a created image during the upgrade from 8.1 to 10, containing all my files etc. when performing the upgrade?

  c. or he would use the recovery partition from Lenovo (which would have used OneKey Recovery if it was compatible) and take me back to 8.1 for Windows?

  (d) another thing?

  2. once I did the upgrade and Windows 10 has successfully activated, I think I could create a bootable with ISO of Windows 10, inside boot media and install a completely new install of Windows 10 and activate it. Theoretically, I could make as many fresh installs from the boot media I want, as long as initially, I did the upgrade (not a clean install), and the hardware of the laptop does not change. Is this correct?

  2A. If, therefore, during the first boot media clean installation process, I'd be sure compeletly remove the Lenovo recovery partition entirely and go from there, rely on 'Reset your PC' feature of Windows 10? Could I could use even just reinstall Windows boot again media 10 as a way to recover? If I understand correctly, it is not absurd to keep recovery partition it if it can not be used within Windows 10.

  I think I had a desktop PC ordinary with a retail version of Windows, then everything above would be fine. The complications added here are that 1. I have no product key Windows 8.1 (alll is managed by the BIOS) and 2. I have no recovery disk. I want to make sure that I understand everything completely before moving, and potentially do a clean installation using bootable media, so that I don't end up ruin something and end up with either a laptop I can not recover, a Windows installation that is not enabled.

  Thank you.

  Update for anyone of another reading:

  I just uninstall OneKey recovery on my installation of Windows 8.1 for the upgrade. While Windows is concerned, OneKey Recovery has been completely removed.

  The good news is that I then shut down the laptop, you press the novo button, selected "System Recovery" and I was always greeted with OneKey recovery program where I could choose to restore from original image, or a custom image. So I guess that once I have upgraded to Windows 10, I'll always have the option to restore to the factory Windows 8.1 if I ever need/want to.

  The confusion seems to be that OneKey recovery software is actually two separate software:

  1 OneKey Recovery #1 is installed in the hidden recovery partition which is responsible to perform a system restore from the image of your choice - either the image of plant or a custom image created by #2 OneKey recovery software. OneKey Recovery Software #1 is still accessible via the Novo button.

  2 OneKey Recovery #2 is installed on the Windows 8.1 installation, which is responsible for the creation of custom system images. You can also choose to restore the system from here, but AFAIK, it just restarts the computer and OneKey #1 software, which allows you to recover expenses. OneKey Recovery #2 is the software Lenovo told us to uninstall it before Windows 10. However, uninstalling OneKey Recovery #2 let software OneKey Recovery tact #1.

  As far as I know, this means that the uninstall OneKey Recovery #2 mean that we lose the ability to create custom system images, but we reserve the option to restore from a system image.

  Can anyone confirm that I understood, and that what I said above is indeed the case?

  I'm still a little uncertain about what Windows built tens in the willingness to ' PC ' do well - that it will use the Lenovo recovery partition or run a 10 Windows Installer Clean up.

• Cannot access UEFI on u410, rather onekey recovery option appears

  I recently reset my laptop to factory default using the reset Windows 8 option, and now when I want to access the UEFI settings I get a prompt onekey recovery instead. Is it possible to get around because I just transferred my files and I don't want to reset everything again. I tried searching the Internet for a solution or explanation, but I have not found.

  Hello, thanks for posting!

  I turned off my laptop for a bit, and then you press the NOVO button. There was an option in the BIOS Setup, but when I chose it the normal login screen appears. I tried to go to UEFI, but the same thing happens where appears the OneKey recovery fast. I turned off the computer again and using the NOVO button I chose Menu start or something similar, and I get the OKR again. I don't know if it's supposed to happen, but before I did a factory reset I could access to UEFI.

  EDIT: So I googled some more info on how the NOVO button does not work as expected and I found this post:

  http://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/lastest-BIOS-to-Flash-for-Lenovo-U410-I-can...

  I've updated the BIOS using this link and I can access now! I guess I wasn't looking in the right places for the solution, but that the update is obscure and I really wonder why it is not available on the official website.

• Is that onekey Recovery discs even create the installation of Win 7 for laptop disc?

  Hi, I am using lenovo G470. My laptop came with Win 7 installed, but without the installation CD.

  I would like to know if the creation of recovery using OneKey Recovery disks (using the factory settings, works with 3 DVDs) is equivalent to the creation of floppy disks to install Windows 7 for my laptop?

  My goal is to have a few discs that I use to reformat or install the laptop in case if the operating system has crashed or seriously infected by viruses (or just in case where I seriously messed up my laptop OS)

  Thank you

  Yes.
  OKR creates discs to restore your computer
  State of origin (plant), as it was when new.

  Mainly used to recover from a crashed hard drive.

  (Edit: when you install a new hard drive)

  OKR button is what you use to serious problems
  to restore the factory State, or a backup that you created.

  Also Windows has built in restoring the system to several minor issues.
  In addition, you can create a System Image in Windows
  Backup and Restore Center.

• G50-45 with Win Onekey Recovery 8.1 8.1

  I'll be back just from the loop of the no / diagnosis your loop of death PC...

  So now, I need to make a backup of onekey recovery now that everything works again.

  When you try to use my sys partition OKR is too large for the recovery partition, so I tried to use the external which has plenty of room (3 TB), but I can't click start because it is grayed out. This is an external USB 3. Should be bootable or something?

  My other problem is that in my efforts to make sure I had the latest version of OKR, I inadvertently replaced that he accompanies with (8.1) (8.0)...

  It was a yellowish theme, now it's blue on the theme. The file that I installed was okrw818002105.exe.

  And it will not let me backup externally.

  Any idea on how I could return my original OKR 8.1?

  N °
  N °

  & No.

  

  Solved the problem of 8.1 OKR myself. It turns out that the configuration for 8.1 which was preinstalled on this Lenovo was still on drive D and he's back the way it should be now.

  Always impossible to go to the 3TO with OKR 8.1 if... Probably for the reasons you mentioned on TPG and all.

  So I spent the day pass given to she who brought the Sys partition up to 101 shows. Still does not fit on the recovery partition which is only 23 concerts, so I'll use my 128Gig USB 3.0 drive Flash for the recovery DRINK for now.

  Thanks again for your response.

  I'll post here if I have more questions.

  Just a note aside, only thing that wrecked was the Boot Record, all the data was very well.

  I had just run the Windows Update earlier in the day before it crashed and locked up.

  So once I could get fix the screens I rode back to the restore point just before the update of Windows.

  I tried the Bootrec reconstruction but there not to see the Windows installation is is TPG and not MBR, so I had to do the letter assignment drive using diskpart and all via the command prompt and then he was able to rebuild very well. Once this is he's right, if it took a while to rebuild his base for the menus and controls icon.

  This site is a godsend and where I got my directions and strategy to do this:

  https://www.WinHelp.us/repair-your-computer-in-Windows-8.html

  It might be useful for someone else with the loop of your PC not / diagnosis...

• OneKey Recovery failure

  I know that this topic is not new, but I need help like Lenovo wants me to pay by the recovery disks that has OneKey Recovery (app provided by Lenovo) can not create.

  I was surprised to find that once a new partition is created, OneKey Recovery not working anymore.

  . I wanted to create my recovery discs and I can't

  . I need to reinstall the operating system with the default settings and I can not

  . Lenovo wants to charge me for the recovery disks

  . My laptop is just 6 months

  After reading something on this issue, I finally got to recover the original files in the hidden partition on another partition with the complete folder structure.

  Now, my problem is that I don't know how to create these files recovery disks (they are all visible but OKR still does not).

  Can someone help me and tell me how to create the backup of files with the original files recovery disks?

  Is absurd as Lenovo does support not that.

  Thank you very much.

  What recover you the partition 'hidden '? Is a backup that you have or are you referring to the lenovo software and drivers that are stored in the lenovo D: partition.

  You will not be able to restore factory if you do not create your own backup.

  Have you thought about downloadingand Burning ISO of Windows 7 from Digital River and using your product key to a new installation. You can download all drivers lenovo and lenono software. This can be higher than factory State anyway that you choose do not install the default value of the programs/bloatware you won't use. I intend to do when I switch to an SSD.

• NEED HELP! OneKey Recovery with XP PROFESSIONAL

  I managed to do a upgrade by using a Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3 CD and everything works fine.

  Now, I need help with a key recovery and how it will behave during a recovery of a backup I created AFTER the XP PRO upgrade:

  AFTER THAT I updated to XP PROFESSIONAL, I made a full BACKUP of the OKR and saved to the "Partition/drive D:" (default location). Now, I need to know what will happen if I point OKR to this specific backup. It covers this image and boot with XP Professional?

  I know not if I get the option to go to the new factory, I'll get Windows XP Home Edition. However, assuming that I did a backup on the disk D: AFTER my release to update to XP PROFESSIONAL, by selecting this backup during the restore process will put me back to the State in which the computer was when I created this backup (with the OS is XP PRO)?

  I guess I still have a little confusion on this issue: is full this backup, I created a REAL IMAGE on the D: drive? ... Alternatively, it does contain THAT data user while OKR enters the OS Home Edition of the partition hidden during the restoration of this image?

  If my backup on D: is a TRUE PICTURE, then I should be able to choose this one to restore and after the restore is completed, my computer should start XP Professional just the way it looked when I made the backup... Right?

  John in Indiana

  p.s. I made the mistake of using RegSeeker, and as others have pointed out, my QuickLaunch disappears each time that I reboot and my desktop icons back to a default location after a reboot and no one has been able to solve this problem. Thus, my need to go back to the way things were BEFORE I created this mess.

  Thanks for the reply and information. I just ran the recovery and everything came back perfectly with XP Professional. It is nice to have a gentle method of collection for all the times when I install something that I later regret.

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

  HP Pavilion 2205tx - C5j09PA #UUF G4

  Windows 8 64-bit

  "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.

• OneKey Recovery on the new hard drive

  I own a lenovo ideapad Z570 and upgrade to a larger HARD drive (of 600 GB to 1 TB).

  The only thing that bothers me is the "OneKey Recovery".

  So my question is: How do OEM partitions and recovery, just after installing windows7 on a new (blank) HARD drive in order to facilitate the "OneKey Recovery."

  Hello
  You want to have an oem installation (with preinstalled applications or you are flexible with a clean install of windows?
  The okr partition will be there only in the hard disk installed in the factory and it won't work even if you copy the partition without making any changes. If you wish, you can also do a recovery partition custom of a key with your own backup recovery

  Hello everyone,

  Today, I decided to reinstall my original windows on this device lenovo but he could not help!

  I tried to start with OneKey Recovery (as I did twice before), but responded with this error:

  

  (the program cannot find the partition of service. the service is currently not available.)

  I assumed that there is changes while I had one tried to partition my hard drive; Therefore, I took this photo of a partition manager if you can help me in detail if that's the case! :

  

  Moreover, the good news is that I did once a backup (2DVDs) of this software drive; However, I don't know if I'm unable to enter the main area, it is possible to use it or not.

  Bad news, is that I tried the recovery key, once the laptop was turned off and it didn't work.

  Please help me as soon as possible.

  Thanks in advance.

  exactly once the OKR partition went your disks will not help :/ so to get all this back you must send the laptop of lenovo and that we need to restore all rear disc with his scores again.

• OneKey Recovery will return the Y2P to start state before the first?

  
  

  Hi gregfromutah,

  Yes OneKey Recovery restores your lapptop to its factory condition, provided that you have not deleted the recovery partition on your hard drive. More information: http://support.lenovo.com/en_AU/diagnose-and-fix/detail.page?DocID=HT077084

  And Yes, you can create recovery media on a USB bootable instead of discs.

  Type "Recovery" on the splash screen, click a recovery key 2. On the application of a key recovery, select System Backup 3. Follow the instructions on the screen.

  The usb key must be at least 16 GB.

• G560 cannot start Windows 7 after onekey recovery

  I got the Lenovo G 560 0679 (2.54 Ghz, 4 GB Ram, DVD, Win 7 64 bit) * do not know the full product code * and created recovery disks. During the process, the system wanted 3 disks. After the second disc, the recovery disks have already been created. It was a little suspect. I tried the recovery disks. Then I have to restart the system. If I start it says that windows could not be started due to a change in hardware or software.

  I will go into an installation disc that has not been included in the box.

  Well below I got the offer to choose between

  Start windows normally

  use the last working configuration

  saving mode

  Save the network mode

  Save the mode prompt

  I also tried to install a Win 7 Home 64 bit edition on the main partition. Subsequently, I installed onekey recovery and tried to restore with the partition of lenovo. It did not work either.

  Can someone help me?

  Note of the moderator; edited topic - watch your language when you post.

  .. .He was not in the wrong way, it was designed as a joke, but I understand I'll do it.

  The partition must be called LENOVO_PART. It must also be Partition of Type 12 (OEM, hidden, NTFS), otherwise it won't work.

  Edit - oh yes, and this should come after your system partition.
