Permutation of HARD, SSD, disc using HP recovery for new laptop support

Hi, I'm trying swap at the disk of 500 GB of a whole new HP ENVY TouchSmart Ultrabook 4 t-1100 to a 120 GB SSD.

Day 1 to have the laptop, I went through the creative process of recovery on a USB media.

The problem is, I can't use it.  The new SSD seems to be recognized very well.  The recovery process makes it far enough - at least far enough to restart several times with screens of Windows 8.

But this ultimatly is not finished and working.  I talked with a tech support on this issue, and told him that I could not do this because the SSD, I was trying to 'restore' to was smaller than my drive of the moose.  His advice was for me to buy a retail business / version of generator in the system of the operating system to be able to "install it" myself.

Is this good?  Is there a better way to do it other than to buy a second copy of an OS that I have rights to use on this computer?

I love the material, but I feel quite frustrated with the software...

I think it would be better if spend you the same amount of $$ and get the software OEM W8.

You first need to confirm which version of W8, you have on your PC, and you can do it only with the original hard drive installed.  As I posted above, you will need to install the OEM version of the software that corresponds to the product key encoded.

Software OEM 64 bit standard is $ 99.00

Bit Pro OEM 84 software is $139.99

I'm almost certain that you will run in rough seas, trying to upgrade to W8 Pro using any type of installation media.

Look at your current operating system... is there an option to make that "Anytime upgrade" as you can with W7?

I think it's the only way you can get W8 Pro on the machine.

I sympathize with you, but that's all I can do.

It seems that new PC is really "locked" until you can do about the operating system.

  • Cannot use the recovery for Satellite M45-S265 disc

    I tried using the recovery disk for M45-S265 of my granddaughter.

    According to the instructions that I'm supposed to put the DVD drive, and then turn off completely the machine. After that, restart and immediately hold down the F12 key, which should produce some sort of menu and then go through the recovery from there.

    However when I take the key F12 is pressed after the closing, nothing happens.

  • Lenovo sells discs of backup/recovery for laptops?

    I bought my Lenovo Ideapad U310 late 2014, and I was stupid enough to not create a disk backup or recovery, when I used it first. I'm afraid that my computer may be infected by malware, and so I want to erase the whole hard drive. But I don't have a recovery disk. So I was wondering if anyone knows if Lenovo sells, and if they do, they have them for specific laptop models?

    Altogether.

  • How to use my recovery for re instill my sys?

    Hello

    Dear Sir

    appreciate your efforts to help me because I faced a problem with my PC and I don't have enough time to go to the Tochicha TS in our region and I asked our company that I worked to instill more surgery until I can go to the TS for this problem, but still now I don't have the time to do and I can't use recovery to deliver my PC to the first factory set with the original operating sys. I've used.

    So my Question is: How do I use my recovery re breathe my sys, but I used another version in my PC, inform:

    My lap top is: Satellite L655-18 t
    Operating system
    Genuine Windows® 7 Home Basic 32-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery)

    and I'm using Windows® 7 unlimited but not yet activated because I used my series Windows® 7 Home Basic for use as a temporary solution.

    Thank you in advance.

    Ahmad

    Hello

    Generally if you want to have the factory settings again you can do this on two tracks:
    -using the HDD Recovery mode will not work if you have installed the version of the own BONE
    -using the recovery DVDs

    You have created DVDs of recovery following the instructions in the user s manuals document?

  • Can I use my recovery for win7 to duel boot disk?

    I'll upgrade to win8, but I would keep win7. Can I use my recovery to duel boot win7 disk? I know that I would need to make a separate partition.  I have a HP p7-1132, processor image AMD A6-3600, 6 GB of ram ddr3, win7 Home running.

    I would use the win7 for my grandchildren and win8 for myself.

    No, you can not install after Windows 8 in a dual-boot configuration. He recommends first you have Windows 7 installed, and then create a partition and install Windows 8. See the following topics:

  • What version of Firefox options do I have to use Firefox on the new laptop running Win 7 64 bit, and how do I move bookmarks current laptop running Firefox 3.5.13 again laptop?

    Currently running on the laptop using Windows XP pro sp3 Firefox 3.5.13 and want to move my favorites to a new laptop. New laptop using Win 7 pro 64 - bit OS. I've read too many conflicting reports on Firefox and Win 7 and Firefox works on a real 64 - bit version. What are my choices for a stable browser for the new laptop and what specific version of Firefox is recommended, and the advantages and disadvantages of this suggestion? (I think we can run Firefox 32-bit version in the 64-bit environment, but which is the best choice?) I have not installed Firefox on the new laptop yet and am eager to dump IE. It is displayed for my old laptop. Thank you...

    Mozilla working on a 64-bit version of Firefox, but it's a way off. Currently, the only release versions are 32-bit, and the next major version will be also only 32 bits.

    I recommend that you install the latest version of publication (3.6.10) available since http://www.mozilla.com/

    To copy bookmarks, follow the procedure described in the article restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer to save a json file, you can import (restore) on the new laptop. You can copy more bookmarks, for details, see back up and restore the information contained in the Firefox profiles and backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base Profile. The last link includes a third-party utility that can make the process easier.

  • Hard disk drive bad, need to use e-recovery in new HD

    They gave me a laptop aspire v5 - 122p and the ALT + F12 for internal recovery does not work. The hard drive and the partition seems corrupt and damaged. Windows 8, try to start, but a message said: there was something wrong and that he will try hard to adapt but it restarts and do the same thing in a loop. I scanned the hard drive with an application which allow me to run it from a bootable usb flash drive. The hard drive came with errors in the sector.

    If I install a new hard drive, I can order an erecovery disk and install all or what I need to do something special? I read somewhere that own hard discs must be prepared initially with another set of tools provided by Acer. The tools provided in the link are in a named ISO "Format CD".

    Yep, it's possible and an unallocated HARD disk is preferable in some cases.

  • Z560 - replace the HDD with SSD - solved using OneKey Recovery

    Hey guys,.

    In a few days time Santa is put me an SSD, OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB.

    I think to clone the drive following this guide: http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-hdd-to-ssd-with-windows-7s-own-software and I'm a little confused on the partitions that are currently on the disk.

    I have:

    Local disk C: 552,55 gb,

    LENOVO 28.8 GB D:

    and a partition unassigned 14.75 GB.

    Does anyone know what contains the unassigned partition? I guess that's the One - Key recovery software? If this is the case, then I intend on deleting the D: Partition, which currently contains drivers, narrows the C:\ about 100 GB and cloning then the C:\ 100 GB and partition unassigned... will this work?

    Bravo guys!

    Rastaman

    Hey guys,.

    I got my Vertex 3 today and it is ridiculously fast. Totally recommend it if you can afford it. Anyway, I discovered how do I reinstall my laptop, and I'm going to ask you now:

    (1) One Key Recovery Opened and clicked on 'create recovery disk', followed by 'default recovery drive '.

    (2) thought - sod it, I'll just stay in my new SSD and see what happens. Inserted, set the BIOS to boot from the DVD drive, and then install windows.

    (3) gain?

    In fact, I found myself with

    C:\ 96,84 GB

    Partion unnamed (14, 75 GB) - this is the area of a key recovery

    Unnamed (200 mb) - partition likely etc boot sector reserved by operating system - seen elsewhere on other systems and is quite normal!

    So yes, that happened on a NEW SSD building, which had not been formatted before - OneKey Recovery did everything by himself.

    I hope this helps people in the future!

    Merry Christmas!

  • Cannot use Recovery for my laptop Satellite A series

    Hello

    I have a series of satellites A. Recently, it started to freeze on the boot process and I could get in mode Safe Mode command.
    Now, I can't even reach that point.

    When I get the F8, the only options I get are Startup Repair which freezes and on normal startup, I get an unmountable volume error.
    I tried to last good Config known with no luck. Memory Diags reveal no error.

    Now, when I use the drive recovery process begins very well, gets past step "Windows loading files. No scrolling screen of the Microsoft logo.
    When I get to the dark blank screen with arrow, he never leaves the screen and moves to the next step.
    How long should I wait to reach the next screen or not?

    Now, I understand that it is possible to boot and do Startup Repair starting from a Vista DVD.
    Where to get or make one of these? I use a desktop Windows 98 computer to submit this.

    At the very least, how do my files to be able to save them in case I need to reinstall Vista?

    All advice appreciated!

    George

    To me, it sounds like a defective HARD drive, maybe. You said that you have tested the RAM, what program did you use?
    I can recommend Memtest86 and HARD drive, you should test using the fitness Test drive as Akuma said. I have good experiences with these two test tools.

    For the moment, you can back up your files if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. I put t know what Satellite phone you have exactly, but the external HARD disk enclosure must have a SATA or IDE connector and should be compatible laptop HDD s (2.5).
    Then you can save your files to another laptop or PC.
