• Portege R500-11Z: recovery disk to help prepare a new HARD drive

  I bought a new hard drive (SSD) for my R500-11Z and I put in an envelope with the USB cable before installation - I want to be able to format the drive and create a new copy of Windows XP before you get out of my existing hard drive.

  I'm looking for ways to use the recovery disk and it SEEMS that it should be possible... EXCEPT...

  I discovered that on the recovery disk there is an executable called recoUNPACK in the Tools folder, which should, in theory, restore the contents of the disc to the hard drive. However, because the new hard drive is plugged into my existing XP set up, he gets a folder called System Volume Information written in it. The presence of this file causes the recoUNPACK to fail. He gets, at 59%, every time, and then survey the error - System Volume Information already exists.

  Any person proposing the deletion of the folder should consider their knowledge of the XP - there is no way to do this, ask Mr. Google if you don't believe me. I also tried this with full of this folder write permissions so that, in theory, could replace recoUNPACK...

  I would be very grateful if someone knows a way of "forcing" crush the System Volume information folder or another way to 'restore' the recovery of my new hard drive disk (other that disassemble the laptop and substitute physically the disc!).

  I have reviewed various options for establishing a USB bootable drive, but as I will adapt it in my laptop I don't want running all versions of XP - so using the recovery disc supplied with my odd R500. All bootable USB I can find only programs, fat32 format, and I would stay in NTFS...

  And the reason why I want to do it this way, it is that I want to continue to use my existing hard drive until the news is ready - its supposed to be an effective way to work... but so far the time wasted, trying to restore the disks could have been better spent undoing the screws on the rear of the machine!

  Thanks in advance

  Hmm the right path and the letter of the partition or volume entitled did you use?

  As far as I know that the command should show something like this:

  + recounpack.exe d:\imagename.tpa z: f +.

  (z: is the letter of your external USB drive and may be different in your case)

• Recovery disks will work on my new hard drive

  I bought recently a new Western Digital hard and I was wondering if I can use my recovery disks that I did on my old drive to the new drive, so it would normally be like my old drive before?

  Not quite, what you have to do is open the CD/DVD drawer, while the laptop is turned on, to leave the drawer open and tap down.

  Insert your first recovery DVDs and close the drawer.

  When look for a starting message down to bottom left of the screen that says "press the ESC key to start options" to do this, and you will have a number of choices. Go to f9 and press ENTER.

  Choose to boot from the CD/DVD-ROM internal drive and press to enter.

  Now, who will start in your first recovery DVDs. It ejects automatically when finished and ask for the other two.

  You could also simply start typing the key f9 to start upward, that you will also get the right window.

• Recovery disks will not recognize my new hard drive

  Original title: why I can not reformat my upgrded from vista to w7 disk

  I can't reformat my vista upgraded to windows 7, as I tried to add another hard drive, which will not take my recovery disks. The message to reboot

  You try to add an additional hard drive or you try to replace the current hard drive with a new one?

  Recovery/restore disks are specific to OEM (made by the manufacturer that also makes your computer) unless you are lucky enough to actually have on the contrary an OEM copy of the operating system in question (Windows Vista I guess) and it is bootable and will guide you through a real installation of the operating system and not a "restore image."  What means what, is supported by the OEM in question for the method - no Microsoft.

  Now - you may be able to perform a new installation of Windows 7 using the Windows 7 upgrade media you have - depending on how you got it...?

• Satellite L350-235 a restore disk runs on a brand new HARD drive?

  Hello

  My hard drive is dead (completely) 3 days out of warranty.
  Recovery discs has not yet loaded, all I had was a black screen and a mouse pointer.

  So I bought a new hard drive. Problem I have now is how to install Windows on a new drive.
  What should I get Toshiba?

  I obviously paid for Windows Vista, when I bought the laptop, so I'm a little confused on what to do next.
  A restore disk will work on a whole new drive?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Didn t drive recovery does not happen with the laptop because you had an option to create one using the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator.

  You now have this disc which can be ordered here:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  Boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen.
  The recovery disk works also with the new HARD drive!

• The recovery disks do not work for the hard drive replaced in my Presario CQ4010F desktop PC

  Hi all

  I have a Compaq Presario CQ4010F Desktop PC (Windows 7 64-bit) in which the hard drive went bad. I bought a new hard drive which is a 1 to, the failed drive was 500 GB. So, I ordered disks system recovery, four in total. The disk labeled 'Use this first!' appear to be running fine, then prompted me to launch the next disc, which I assume is the 1 of 3 system recovery disk. With the computer, always, I inserted the CD 1 of 3 and have waited and watched as nothing has happened. I restarted the PC with the 3 disc 1 again and that will inspire nothing happened. Any help is appreciated in this matter.

  Hello:

  If you can't get the recovery disks to work (don't make sure that the keyboard, mouse and monitor are connected), then you can make your own windows 7 installation DVD and use that to at least get windows 7 installed and your PC back to the operation.

  Here's how.

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  I have a HP Pavilion dm4. My hard drive died so I installed a new hard drive. The original operating system installed on the computer is Windows 7. I don't have a Windows 7 disc with the computer.

  If the new hard drive is having even or a larger size than the old, recovery disks will reinstall the factory OS on your new drive.

• Why my Windows XP won/t find my new hard drive (bit 1 TR)

  I "ve installed a new hard drive (!)" TR cock) but Windows XP will not see it. Why not??

  Try this:

  Click Start, right-click my computer, click on manage (this will open Computer Management), go to disk management

  see if the disc is there, if that is the case, right click and select format.  Keep the NTFS, make sure that the quick format is checked, and then click format.  It is then shaped and should be visible in my computer.

  Recovery of HARD drive on drive D (factory installed)

  My old toshiba (MK5065GSX) 500 GB hard drive became too noisy and slow so I plan to replace it with the new drive hard toshiba (MK5059GSXP) 500 GB.

  I created USB Flash HARD drive recovery.

  Set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

• With the help of recovery on the new hard drive disks

  Hello

  I have an old t160.uk of Pavilion.  The hard disk starts to sound a bit grumpy.  I have a spare I want to replace it with.  Can I create recovery discs using the partition, and then replace the hard drive and reinstall windows xp on the new drive? or the recovery disks only works on the original hard drive?

  See you soon,.

  Hirroshi wrote: what determines if the new hard drive will be compatible with the recovery disk?  Could I connect the new hard drive in another Bay and try to use the recovery disk, before removing my old hard drive?

  Hello Hirroshi, it seems that drives hard very little HP only work in an HP computer, or so I said. I think it has to do with some code that HP puts in the Master Boot Record, but that's just a guess. I read on the Forum that this is the case.

  I suggest that you delete the partition on the replacement hard drive, and then create a new partition and format the hard drive. You should be able to use the recovery disk, if they are not damaged and that you have a valid burn.

  You can try to install the replacement hard drive in the system you propose, and it can work very well. It's certainly worth a try.

  Here is a link that shows how to perform a recovery facility when a hard drive is replaced.

• I have to buy a new hard drive for vacuum. a recovery disk will replace my windows vista?

  my hard drive went out on me completely. reads as 0 bytes. lost everything on it. a system recovery will work on a cool new hard drive?

  Yes, the recovery disks installing Vista and original software/drivers on a new hard drive. Just be sure to get a hard drive at least as large as the original capacity. It may be big, but not small ability more. I wouldn't go with one of the new large capacity hdd format advanced however.

• Question Equium L350 - 10L new HARD drive and recovery

  Hi all.

  My L350 - 10L has a HD death. Just does not start. I tried the HARD drive recovery system, but after it formatted the HD I got a message saying that the image file is corrupted. I removed the HD and connected to my desktop to save personal files (before I tried the recovery) and there were real issues reading the disc. I got most of the documents & E-mail eventually (had to run a lot of check disk runs using a 3rd party disk partition software). I think that the drive is actually physically damaged somehow.

  I'll need to buy a new set of Toshiba recovery disks (too long a story to explain, but it's basically my fault), but my main question is this: if I buy a new HD still recovery disks to restore my system to its original state even if it isn't the original HD? There, I guess I mean will the recovery discs recreate the 3 partitions - WinRE (Hidden), Vista C: and D: data and set the correct boot and information industries? And I suppose that a secondary question who would be the HD should be the same size as the original one (120 GB said / 111GB actually)?

  Thanks in advance.

  The Toshiba Recovery disk will define the laptop (and HARD drive), the factory settings.
  This means that the recovery DVDs will format the whole HARD drive and it will create the partitions and all the rest as on the first day of purchase.

  I hope I could bring a precision...
