Pavilion dm1: how the recovery 2 and 3 disc (dvd) to be bootable on USB?

• Format HARD drive, delete the recovery partition and recover with disc

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite C660D-17F and want to format my HDD, remove the recovery partition and recover the preinstalled Windows 7 and other software. I don't want to keep my own data, which are all stored already, I just want to be sure I can safely restore preinstalled stuff. I have a few questions that I need help to clear up before I go ahead.

  Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition? If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?

  I found [this post | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/items/faq/71] which explains the recovery process. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that? It will restore the OS and the software for the backup of dvd drive? Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?

  Added SIDENOTE:
  I actually prefer to be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I'm after. Or is there a way?

  Sorry, I know that was a long post, but I want to be sure of what will happen BEFORE I'll and spoil things! :) If you got this far, thanks for reading. :)

  Hello

  I will try to offer help. ;)
  > Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition?
  Yes. Saved on recovery discs recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, specific Toshiba and utility tools and some additional software.
  > If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?
  Preinstalled Toshiba Recovery creator make recovery disc that includes the recovery image only. It has nothing to do with your personal data.
  > I found this post that explains the process of recovery. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that?
  After that, you should use recovery disks created for the recovery image installation.
  > Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?
  When you use the recovery disc for your laptop recovery image installation will have factory settings which include the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. To be honest I do not understand why you do not want to have this recovery image on the HARD drive. This allows the installation of recovery using recovery of HARD drive option. But of course you can delete it later for more free space on your HARD drive. Installation image that you can always use created for recovery discs-recovery DVDs.

  Fix.

• Question on the recovery CD and the Vista anytime upgrade

  Hello

  I bought a toshiba laptop now a year ago, it came pre-installed with vista home premium.
  I would like to do a complete cleaning my system as its useless been lately and isn't a fact since I bought.

  It came only with - a the product recovery disc and upgrade Express windows.
  But I'm worried because if I do a recovery of product I don't have the real vista disk it SHOULD have and will not have vista on my laptop or one of the files that toshiba put on it.

  What should I do?
  What a product recovery disc actually have on it and do? What is the Windows anytime upgrade disc?

  I have been informed by microsoft and I.T. technicians everywhere that i should have a vista installation disc in the same area so the fact it came pre-installed.

  Help, please

  > It came only with - a the product recovery disc and upgrade Express windows.

  As you say you have the product recovery disc.
  This Toshiba drive contains the image of Toshiba.
  The image is a package and it contains the operating system Windows, Toshiba drivers, tools, utility and software further.

  The use of the recovery CD will fix the laptop back to the factory settings.
  So just boot from the recovery CD and follow the instructions on the screen.

  Just for info:
  The recovery CD will format the whole HARD drive, but I see that a backup is not important to you.

  See you soon

• Pavilion 15-p045tx: I deleted the recovery partition and I don't have the disc

  I deleted the recovery by mistake partition while I tried to format my hardrives. I have no recovery disks when I bought the new laptop. I need help in getting my laptop to a factory State. Help, please

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

  I'm afraid that, as the recovery partitions are parties and if no recovery media is created, the only way to return to the factory default condition is by buying/getting recovery (DVD or USB pen drive) media. You can get the HP recovery media (website or by contacting HP support - these are the recommended means) or by buying some stores online.

  Here are the instructions > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07143

• I how to remove the recovery partition and make the entire hard drive, a recovery partition?

  I have two hard drives and the two have a recovery partition. Disk 0 is disk 1 80 GB and 500 GB. I want to remove the recovery on both partition and drive 1 recovery partition. Disc 1 is much older, but I would have preferred free space on disk 0.

  The "recovery Partition" in question is not a thing of Microsoft.  Ask that ever created it (the manufacturer of your computer) which will probably help you not because it's beyond their desire to do so.

  I suggest you create / have external media and numbers of series/product key in another place course of the computer itself.

• Portege 3440: Where to find the recovery disk and drivers

  First of all Hello to all,

  This is my first post and I'm afraid, it is a bit of an oldey.

  I came in possetion of a Portege 3440 netbook with cd players and external floppy drive.
  The problem is that the cd player works via the NIC port (I think it's pcmia?)
  I'm a surfer of money so not sure.

  Anyone know where I can get the drive system for this machine and how to install the drivers etc.
  I am hoping to get to the top and running with win2k but will come back on if communal win98se.

  Sorry this is so long, but hope you can help me.

  My deep gratitude in advance to all.

  Hi mate

  It's very old portable machine and I'm afraid that you would not be able to order the recovery for this laptop m disk.
  You will need to install the Windows operating system using a disc of Microsoft.

  On the European driver Toshiba page, you will be able to find the drivers and software for this laptop.
  You must choose Archive product Type, because the old drivers are placed in the archives.

  You will find USB - FDD driver. When you connect the USB floppy drive to the laptop it is ask for a TEAC (mainly in Europe) driver or a driver of YE-data (mainly Asian). Please check which of the drivers you need by connecting the laptop floppy drive to download the driver.

  You will also find companion diskette. The accompanying disk contains programs to configure computers Toshiba installation information and to test the equipment. It also contains files and utilities that allow you to get the most out of your Toshiba computer.

• Re: Satellite Pro C660 - how to do the recovery with command prompt disc?

  I have a brand new Pro C660 of Satellite. It worked fine for a day, now it will not load windows. I don't have to create the recovery disks, as I only had a few hours (Yes, Yes, I know, should have been the first thing I did). All data are present (but backed up just in case USB) and I can see the folder HDDREcovery with all data intact. However, I can't run the application to create recovery discs. Does anyone know how to extract the images and create the media using only the command line? (I can go into command prompt by booting from the Windows 7 disc a friend). All options fail own laptop startup disks. It says 'Windows does not load' and I try startup repair, but it detects no error. Any help/thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated!

  Hey,.

  It of not possible to create the drive with command prompt recovery. You must use the Windows Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.

  Now it s too late for you, but you can order a disc here:

• How the recovery disk creator actually works?

  I read on the forum on the recovery disk creator and I'm a bit confused... in the name, it becomes obvious that he is indeed a creator, but I have no thread caught my attention which in fact is to create a recovery disk. How does it work? Of course, it is used to restore the system to the default settings, but you can make your own backup copies recovery of the State, the system is now? Or do all the recovery discs take you where it all begun so to speak...

  And if I could create my own presets, restrictions on the amounts of images? And he brings with him all that is installed in the time that the image was created?

  As I made clear in my previous posts, I have not bought the thing... It's in the mail. I'm just getting ready for the terrible experience of how things can go wrong when I don't have the original DVD of Windows in my hands :)

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  So many questions! I'll try to help you with unclear words.

  In the latest Toshiba has delivered laptop computers equipped with recovery media. Very old computers laptop Toshiba created mainly two CD recovery and newer laptops a Recovery DVD.
  This recovery DVD was in the box with the notebook.

  This recovery CD/DVD contains a recovery image. Recovery image can be installed on the laptop and after that each installation of the laptop will have factory settings the same state that you have when you start your laptop for the first time.
  Recovery image contains the system operations, drivers, Toshiba and utility tools and some additional software. Therefore, after you install the recovery image, you should not install drivers or additional software. Everything is done for you.

  Then, new notebooks, as your Satellite Pro A300-1EA, are not delivered with a separate recovery media and all those who buy the laptop must / should create a clean copy. This copy can be used for installations of operating system further. For recovery, multimedia creation Toshiba has designed special tool and it is designed to create recovery media ONLY.

  To start the tool, select the media you want to use (I recommend DVD - R), put the media in the optical disc drive and click Create.

  In fact the recovery image is saved on the HARD drive and placed on the second partition in the file called HDDRecovery.
  Still, there is one thing. If nothing is changed on the system, partitions, and if this folder is not removed, you can install operating system whenever you want, but without using recovery media.

  It is simply procedure. When the laptop starts press F8 and you will enter the advanced startup options. The first is called to fix my computer. Enter it and follow the on-screen menu. After two stages, you will see the window with several options and the last recovery option.

  So please create DVD to be on the right side of recovery.

  If you have any other questions please ask. Someone here will help you for sure.

  Good luck!

• Remove the recovery drive and drive C on the internal drive of 2 2nd

  I installed a Kingston 120 GB SVP200S37A / 120G on my HP Pavilion dv7t-1000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows 7 Professional.

  I took the cable USB and case provided with my package and plugged my old hard drive of 320 GB.

  Installed the SSDNow v + Series software and installed it.  At this point, I was happy to see my new Kingston 120 GB SSD and unplugged my old hard drive.

  Last week, I installed my old hard drive to 320 GB in my laptop.

  My current SSD is the C drive and disc HP_Recovery (D).

  My old drive is Local Disk F and Local Disk G.  Can I do this in a single drive?

  Is it possible for me to remove the HP_Recovery (D) drive then put it on to my second drive?

  Hello

  Unfortunately, the second Bay of your laptop drive isn't bootable - this is true for all of the dv7 series, so spend the recovery Partition of your SSD HARD disk will cause any recovery attempt fails.  If you want to use a player of the second span, it can only be used for extra storage.

  To make the drive in the second span in a single volume, you must do the following - keep in mind that this will destroy all data on the disk.

  Hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type compmgmt.msc , and then press ENTER.  Click disk management in the left pane and let readers load upward.

  For all volumes shown on the Second disk, right-click each in turn and select "delete the Volume.  When you are finished, you should have just "unallocated space indicated.  Click on this and select Format to start the wizard.  Windows 7 will affect a Volume label so if your happy with it, just leave the default.  File system is NTFS.  Allocation unit size must be left by default.  Select the option to perform a quick format if it is not already done.  Leave all the other default settings, and then click Ok, and then Ok to start the process.

  Once this done, your disk should now appear as a single volume when you look under the computer.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A30: HDD size after the recovery procedure and Defrag

  I have a Satellite A30 and just did a complete reinstall from the recovery of the product disks. My question relates to the amount of disk space hard should be resumed aftre reinstall it.
  My hard drive is 4.95 full GB according to the procedure that is much higher than I expected.

  Also, after reviewing the reader with Defragmenter I seem to have twice taken up training with Greens, unmovable files like Blue contiguous files. Unmovable files is there and if not how to I remove them?

  It's where I guess that extra hard disk space is lost when it is lost?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It's not easy to say exactly how much space should be taken after the recovery procedure.
  I have so much that I know on the recovery CD, you will find the whole operating system Windows XP, driver Toshiba and utilities as well as additional software like OneNote, WinDVD, etc.
  This additional software could take as much space on the disk outside the OS.

  Blue not moveable files belong to the Windows operating system, and as a result, the files are placed together.

• Satellite L500-19 - remove the recovery partition and create new

  Hello!

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L500-19th with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). So far, everything is brilliant work.
  I have already created the recovery DVDs.
  As a result, could now delete the partition with the recovery program? I want to use the full space of my hard disk and create partitions as I want.
  But I don't know how I should do this?
  Could you please help me?

  If you are sure that the created recovery DVD is ok at 100%, you can delete all data on the second partition.
  Open Windows Explorer on the left side where is the second partition, click with the right button of the mouse and choose the FORMAT option.
  Choose the quick format option and click START.

  After a minute or two, all data will be gone.

  Please note: in the future when you want to use recovery DVD for installing Win7 the whole HARD disk is deleted and you will lose all your data.
  Using recovery DVD you can not format the C partition only.

• How do you create the recovery with Yoga 13 disc?

  With all the computers I bought, I had made or received recovery disks. I have read the forums here and found that I can make a windows image (what I did) and how to use the OneKey to make a backup. My concern is after I am out of warranty and the hard drive crashes, I can restore to factory setting?

  The windows image is just a windows image. But there is no different partitions that are there from the factory.

  I think that OneKey is on one of the partitions, so if I have to replace the hard drive it won't be there.

  I want to just make sure I did it right.

  Hello
  Welcome to the forums
  To make a recovery disk, check out this link of lenovo
