P6 - 2220t: System Recovery will erase my scores?

So, here's the deal.

I am running windows 7, tried to install Linux Mint to dual boot with windows.

I allocated half of my hard drive to a partition for Linux.

Now, due to problems with my Bios, I can't quickly disable windows startup or start-up secure, so I can't get Linux to work and can no longer see almost half of my hard drive.

I really want to have these 250 gigabytes of hard disk space back.

When I got to the computer, I was tasked to make recovery disks (set of 4) that I have.

I already backed up all my data, but my question is, if I run the system recovery discs, they erase the partition I've implemented for linux?

I knid of you want to run any way restore before installing windows 10 as there are a few other bugs that I am not able to get rid of.

Rob, welcome to the forum.

The recovery of the system will return your computer to the original configuration, from the first day that you started the computer.  In my opinion, it will only make two partitions; C:\ and D:\.

  • System Restore will set a BAD_POOL_CALLER blue screen?

    If I do a "System Restore" to start the system and pressing Ctrl F11 to try to avoid a constant blue screen BAD_POOL_CALLER... what will solve the problem? The "System Restore" will erase all my files? I have a Dell Dimension E520 running Windows XP Media Edition

  • How can I use my HP OEM W98 cd "System Recovery" on a new processor & hardrive (not HP) so that I can have W98 to use my most later bought XP Pro upgrade cd?

    I bought a HP with W98 OEM desktop computer installed about 10 years ago. Then about 5 years ago my company offers an XP Pro upgrade for a good price. When I upgraded, first of all, I reformatted the drive, but then XP would be not be installed because it could not find existing W98.  So I reinstalled W98 using the HP cd "HP System Recovery" & "HP Application Recovery", then with the XP Pro upgrade.  Question: I want to build a new computer for faster components (case, CPU, motherboard, hard drive) 10 years old HP processor is suffocating under the weight of applications & today virus scanners.  On a new cpu & hard drive, I can use the "HP System Recovery' (&"Application recovery"if necessary) to repeat the process to get W98 installation so that I can then proceed to Windows XP Pro?  Or is the only "HP System Recovery" will install on a card mother HP and W98 vintage cpu?  I just can't justify rebuying the entire operating system again and I like XP Pro, but I need new hardware CPU and more/more fast disk drive.

    Hi BuyOnceUpgradeOften,

    Thanks for posting. As you said, you will need to install the 98 upgrade for XP. As for the installation of 98 on another machine, it may or may not work. You will need to contact HP and see if this is or is not against the terms of the EULA, they you provided, and if you can or can not install it on another machine.

    I've already installed windows on the SSD using the thinkpad recovery disks, but I want reinstal it because I had originally mistakenly Windows Edition family basic and family Premium received.

  • Using the "System recovery" Recovery Manager, it will erase the partitions?

    Hello, I was counting on the creation of a second partition for windows 7.

    What I want is two partitions one with windows 7 and one with vista. This is the easiest part.

    Now, I was planning on moving over my larger files, which is a lot of music and a lot of digital photos on the windows partition 7. Then, I wanted to clean install vista using the system recovery feature built into the computer. Now, I see it says restore my computer to default settings, but it's a little vague.

    So my question is, even with 2 separate partitions would be a system recovery remove them both and combine them into 1, just like when I got to my computer? Or would it restore my vista partition just like it was when I got it? I've really messed with the recovery of the system too, so I don't know if there is an option to select a partition, or something, I don't want to go overboard and remove my pictures and music.

    And there are a lot of things, like 50 + GB combined, it would take a lot of time to save it online, but if that's what needs to be done, so be it.

    Thank you!

    Also the laptop I use is a Hp pavilion Dv2500 with just vista on it right now.

    Hello

    The answer is no. The Recovery Manager has his job to do once tell you her to begin.

    The HP Recovery Manager will do its thing and restore your laptop provided that delivery. It is a destructive process in terms of all the space on your hard drive, except for the recovery partition. You will find yourself with a Vista partition (C and a recovery partition (D when it is done.))

    This means that when the recovery is complete and you have all the drivers loaded, you can use the Vista Disk Manager to create your partition in Win 7.

    I hope that this makes it more clear.

    Kind regards

    I have a "PC HP Pavilion p6210y Desktop" run "Windows 7 Home Premium x 64".  CHKDSK said my C: drive is so corrupt, I have to do a "Factory System Recovery" my purchase date of 2009.

    If you use the /r switch in Chkdsk it tries to fix the bad clusters or move the data to a cluster of good.  CHKDSK will isolate the bad cluster and do not use it.  Maybe it's time to think about replacing the hard drive, it could be near the end of its service life.

    You can perform a restore factory on this hard drive, but you must back up the data that you have on your E drive on an external drive, preferably an external hard drive, because they can be erased.

    You need to install a new hard drive, it must be of equal size or greater than what you have now.  To install the new OS, you will need to use recovery discs that you can order from HP.  If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144 and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks.  Otherwise the site worldwide: http://welcome.hp.com/country/w1/en/support.html

    If HP does not have the recovery disks, you can order them from the surgeons of the computer:

  • Laptop will not reinstall windows after the factory system recovery

    So I have a laptop HP which is relatively new. I recently acquired the Virus 2010 Vista AntiVirus Pro. When the malware and spyware could not fix the problem, I decided to do a system restore, which would put the computer to the way it was when I bought it. I backed up the files and do the system recovery. He filled the recovery then said it will re-start to reinstall windows and complete the process.

    After the restart as it gets and error that says: "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error." Windows Setup cannot continue. To install Windows, click "ok" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. »

    The only option is to click on 'ok', but after clicking it he is trying to reboot once again and the same error comes back. We tried to manually close the laptop and restart, but we always get the same error. I can get the start menu when the information system and the recovery is but to the past is just the mistake. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I don't know what else to do.

    Thank you very much

    Frenchquarter, welcome to the forum.

    I suggest that you download and install OpenOffice.  It is FREE and is open to all documents created in MS Office.  If it doesn't, at least it costs you nothing to try.

    I used OpenOffice for years.  Believe me when I say that he will do everything that will make MS Office and in some cases, the better.  At least, you will have to use in the future and you'll be amazed to see how they can do it for FREE.

  • With the disk system recovery, system will not read

    Hello, I got my HP Pavilion dv7t-6000 laptop repaired while I was (and am still) in Europe in January this year. When they fixed my HDD, him has not loaded in many settings, programs and applications that I use/am used to / and pleasure to use. I sent RESUMES to the recovery disks that I have now. The problem is when I run the recovery program, after disconnection and everything, I get to the screen where it says insert the System Recovery DVD, which I do, and a screen appears which reads has not found disk. I re - insert the new attempt to drive / vile and again the same message every time, even though I hear the pilot running and when I enter the drive connected to windows, it appears in the pilot, so I know, he knows it's there. I need serious help on that and quickly because the people who fixed were no help at all. I have windows 64-bit. I make my living on this laptop, and I'm kind of panic around here.
