• c: overwritten with the new xp pro operating system. Need to retrieve the d: partition.

  My brother installed Windows XP Pro installation disc from my other computer on my desktop HP Pavilion 754n without my permission and I can not access the system restore to perform a non-destructive recovery with the recovery d: partition.  How can I manually start the recovery partition to restore original factory programs?

  Thanks CheryG! I did a non-destructive control cover just to test and it worked.  I have had a few glitches and discovered that I had forgotten to delete the files from my brother of the recovery d: partition.  I have since removed them and am moving forward with the full destructive recovery.  You are a life saver.  Thanks for the help and have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

• The recovery disks 2 wear all of the operating system?

  I have an old HP Pavilion a1220in PC running Windows XP Media Center Edition. I also found a set of recovery disks in the box.

  I've had a lot of problems with my OS now, for most trolling, hanging, etc. So, I ran a few Cache cleaning applications and cleaned. Tried to use Antivirus, but it gets even slower PC, so I left this option. Once he went continuously bootloops, which was the first time I used the recovery disc. There were two options, the only thing that I can remember in their subject is one killed all the data and the other is not.

  Once, the score (who wore the recovery image) has been altered and the same problem of bootloop took place again once, so this time I could not choose recover the PC. The only option he gave me was that destroyed all the data.

  Now, I want to change the operating system for some versions of Linux. But before that, I want to know that where I want to go back to Windows, will these DVDs help me? I mean, they will be able to install all of the operating system for me?

  The recovery disks two HP should re - install the operating system Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 full, all the drivers and all included software factory.

  11. Satellite Pro A300: How to create the recovery disk

      Hello
      I just bought a Satellite Pro A300 with Windows XP.
      I want to know how I can or if I need to create a recovery disk that will reset the machine to its original state.
      The information gives instuctions on how to proceed for the Vista machines, but not for XP.

      I know that I can recover from the hidden partition, but where this is not possible, I wish I could get CD or DVD.
      There is a recovery CD included product that says only: "MS Windows XP" so I guess that it does not include drivers or Toshiba Software?

      Any help appreciated,

      Hello... My laptop out there today and I'm trying to start it, it says "operating system not found '... I guess I reinstall windows Vista but I can't find any cd/dvd... I dontt think that I was given when I bought my laptop a few years ago... Do you think I can get another copy (free of charge)) L

      Hello

      If you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your laptop there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

      The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

      Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

      Ask them to the proper key sequence.

      Also some manufacturers have more available recovery Vista disc.

      If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

      You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

      Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

      And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

      Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

      "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

      http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

      And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  14. Windows Vista has crashed, "the operating system not found" error, can I load Windows XP on a partition?

      I have an Acer Aspire 5516, with pre-installed Windows Vista. I didn't know that it did not come with a recovery disk UNTIL my system crashed! During a routine virus scan, I got a blue screen saying a major problem has been found and the system has been shut down. I followed the instructions to gracefully shut down my laptop. When I turned this back on after the "Acer" logo he went to a black screen with info on my computer and the last line States "not found operating system". That's when I discovered there was no recovery disc & it is integrated into the system. To access this system you we F8 to enter safe mode, then Alt F10 to access 'erecovery management system. Neither one of these functions operate! Still getting the black screen with "operating system" not found I have a Windows XP my laptop previous. What I was wondering is if I can load on my Acer, possibly on a partition, in order to be able to get into my laptop and save all of my files? I'm terrified of losing everything I have! I have thousands of pictures that I can't replace. If anyone can help please do! I am on a very limited income & can not really afford professional help. Thank you very much in advance!

      Hi Gary,.

      Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question.

      According to the description, you have problems with the computer not start.

      This problem can occur because of a hardware problem.

Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

      Meet us if you face problems with computer not start or any other issue of Windows, and we would be happy to help you.
