• partitions and recovery disk

  I have a satellite a10 and have partitioned the hard drive. Now, I have a small primary fat16 partition with a bootmanager, a partition main ntfs with windows xp and a partition extended, completely occupied by logical ntfs partitions with my documents. My wish was to install another operating system, making the smaller primary ntfs partition and put in the form of free space unallocated as a new primary partition.
  BUT... when I was doing the smaller partition, an error has occurred, and the computer is unbootable. Now, I think, my windows partition is damaged and have no chance to save.
  WHEN I try to use the toshiba recovery cd, will I have any chance not to format the entire disk, backup of my documents? Is possible to format (install Windows inside) that the space left by the corrupted partition?

  Thanks to all those who will read and help me!

  Hello

  Try the recovery for the professional Mode. In my view, this will help you.

• I'm a little confused on the merger a system partition and recovery.

  Dear Sir, I deleted my recovery partition (D :). and then it merges with the C: partition, as my C: drive is running out of space done. Remove recovery partition affects operating system or computer or my drive hard. can reinstall the operating system creates a partition recovery any help.)

  Sorry, but no, it's not good. The recovery partition has been created by
  your computer manufacturer. It contains only an image of Windows in
  the State it was in when it left the factory. It is there for you
  to reinstall, should you need or want, and it never changes
  (unless you change - which you should never do).

• x 200 (74542GU) restore partition and recovery media creation

  Hi, I confused!

  My new x 200 came with xp was preinstalled and with the DVD of restoration vista buisness.

  If I use the recovery partition now (before I approached the vista dvd), what version of windows will install the recovery partition?

  And if I choose to use the vista dvd, which will be there (recovery partition) then?

  Thank you.

  Hi Welcome to the forums

  Yes once more be using xp, if you use the recovery partition... If you want to use vista install when you want... but before to do that are doing better on the current recovery CD system coz in the future if you want to go back to xp you can use xp again

  After vista installation that contains the vista recovery partition do so to better the recovery dvd set of said so!

• Partitioning and recovery.

  I want to resize the C drive and create an additional partition for Linux... But the last time I tried the hell broke lose and nothing has ended up working and I also messed up my recovery partition. Fortunately, after buying the HP discs I was able to start from scratch. My question is it still possible to do this without messing up the recovery partition? Thanks in advance.

  If it helps, here is my current setup.

• 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.
  > I'd really rather 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 don't want after
  Fix.

• Rescue and recovery software will not remove preinstalled Partition

  I recently had a T450s by a great process and tries to get her comfortable environment again.

  My two latest Lenovo laptops had a recovery in the stock installation partition, and I was able to remove simply by running the top software and selecting an option amounting to "delete backup partition" or something allowing me to back up c.

  On this machine, I ran the software and he gave me an option to create a recovery media more. I installed the software, Thinkvantage Rescue and Recovery, and he has an option to delete backups, but does not recognize the partition.

  It's deeply annoying, I do not use it and he eats up to 15 GB. If anyone has a solution for this, please let me know.

  ADDENDUM:

  Moreover, now the software on the partition is not ongoing, saying: it does not find "recovburncd.exe" and try again. Help, please.

  So reinstall RNR has failed, but I realized that I could go into administrative tools and modify the disk partitions.

  I now have this problem solved, thank you for your comments.

• How to FORMAT my hard drive with a RECOVERY PARTITION and my system restore from. BKF files

  History made as short as possible.

  I inherited a gateway with XP Media Center 2004. I transferred all my old files to the new computer, and it worked fine. I did a full backup of the system (.) BKF). Later, I installed a disc for my Vivitar camera I used before with my old system and my computer crashed.

  I tried everything I know to do a restore. F8, F10 and F11 during start-up and the best I could come up with was the safe MODE, but it would fail to any ENTRY.

  I really feel like the hard disk must be formatted and start over. I can not access the recovery partition and no XP CD was provided.

  My question is: How can I reformat the hard drive with a petition of recovery and reinstall my operating system of BKF files?

  If you have a recovery partition, I suggest you post in the forums of the bridge
  assistance.

  Thank you

  OK, so I have to order the recovery disks I thought that this was going to be the case

• Remove the Dell recovery partition and create a data partition

  Hello world

  Two years ago, I bought a Dell Inspiron N5110. In addition to the existing windows partition, I wanted to add a partition Ubuntu as a partition of data (NTFS). Well, I added the Ubuntu partition, but because of the Dell recovery partition (14.65 GB, used 7,69, formatted to NTFS), I had no primary partition left to create a data partition. I did not had the time to solve this problem so far.

  Here you can see the different partitions. 4, 66GB there is the linux swap partition and the 18.63 is the linux partition. Of course, they are contained in an extended partition that is created during the installation of linux using GParted.

  Basically, what I would do, is to remove the recovery partition. I did not throw a look inside, but I read that as it contains bootstrap information, as well as win7 boot no more if I'm deleting it. The partition is marked as 'active' (in contrast to my main windows partition of C). I guess this is a classic problem, but I couldn't find a tutorial or a satisfactory answer on this forum (I apologize if this is the case). I assume that it is not enough to define steps to activate the recovery partition and assign to the partition c active (i.e. they don't going to critical data recovery to the c partition). Furthermore, I read that repartition your drive could affect the functioning of the emergency recovery partition, is this true?

  Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  Greetings,

  Harald

  Yes, sorry, I had a problem and the image has not been correctly incorporated into my message. Here it comes. Sandra means healthy, active, primary partition means that primary partition. However, you will notice that windows see the ubuntu partition is a stretch.

  

• Shrink system partition and the HP recovery partition.

  HP Pavilion dv6560el notebook PC

  Windows Vista Home Premium (original OS pre-installed)

  I want to shrink the system (C partition to make room for a new partition (Z.))

  The new partition (Z will be used to store data.)

  The Windows Vista disk management utility, run as administrator (of course), seems unable to reduce the system (C partition ("Access denied" error), both in normal and safe mode.)

  The same failure by using the "DISKPART" utility via the Windows Vista command prompt (run as administrator, of course).

  In order to facilitate the task, is seems (surf the web) which is the procedure to follow:

  -start the computer pressing F8, then enter into the Windows recovery environment.

  -log in as an administrator (of course).

  -Open the Windows Recovery Environment command prompt.

  -use the "DISKPART" utility in the prompt command in the Windows recovery environment, to reduce the system partition.

  -Restart in normal mode.

  -log in as an administrator (of course).

  -create a new partition (Z using the space unallocated drive just obtained by reduction of the system (C partition.))

  -the new (Z partition will be created between the shrunken system (C partition and intact HP recovery (D partition.)))

  Two questions:

  1. the command "DISKPART shrink" work as expected, that is. It will actually decrease the system (C partition, if the "DISKPART" utility is run to the Windows recovery environment, rather than command prompt in Windows Vista itself?)

  2 will be the HP recovery (D partition still operate, IE. the recovery environment Windows will still be available by pressing F8 and still run it if run on the line, if a new (Z partition is placed between the system (C partition and intact HP recovery (D partition itself?))))

  Thanks in advance for the answers.

  You recovery partition is no longer using the F11 key at startup. Burn your DVD recovery set before changing the hard drive somehow.

• Recovery DVDs reformatted partitions 'SYSTEM', 'RECOVERY' and 'HP_TOOLS '?

  My laptop is dv3-2313tx, it works Windows 7 system. I got the HP recovery DVD.

  I decided to use DVD factory restore my computer, of course, this erases my data on the 'C' partition, but I wonder if it will also format the entire hard drive and restore the other three partitions ('SYSTEM', 'RECOVERY' and 'HP_TOOLS')?

  Frankly, I really wish that the DVD will be ANY FORMAT, I like a new laptop clean. is this true?

  Booting from the recovery DVD formats the entire hard drive and recreates partitions.

• 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.

• Allocation of partition before and after the failover and recovery

  Hello
  
  I could probably write a test for my question but I thought it would be quicker to ask here first :-)
  
  Say I have a cluster with 126 storage nodes and the scores of 1891 - so each node has about 65 partitions
  
  If I lose a partition storage node backup 65 distributed on other members will become primary partitions and some new backups will be created on other nodes. At this point there will also be others dragging walls between the remaining nodes in addition to the creation of backup?
  
  If I now restore the lost node, it will be allocated a few partitions. These will be the same scores he had originally or is it a random set of partitions, so we get a new round of brewing of the partition? I suspect the answer is that it not necessarily answer scores, he had originally.
  
  The reason that I ask is that we have a system which, due to certain triggers with some fireworks and association key card support we have two caches on the same node that contain a reference to the same binary value (mapped to other keys). This means that the cache actually takes less space that the size of the units of the two caches beause they both the same reference value. On the other hand, backup partitions will have two copies of the value, and will decide on the amount expected memory.
  
  -Failover backups become primary and create us backups more if suddenly the primary now uses more memory than the original primary (i.e. it will use the size of the units said it does) so for us a loss of node can result in a larger than normal jump in the use of memory on the remaining nodes, because we have now four copies of the value instead of three.
  
  If we now have to recover the failed node, there will be some shuffling more partitions. Now, if the node recovered back his original were leaving they would take space ore that they have done it before and the rest of the cluster would be tantamount to the use of memory it had before. If the recovered node gets allocated to the different partitions and then the recovered node will use more memory and other members who now have primary partitions from the failed node will use more space.
  
  Hopefull everyone can follow that. Basically, I think that, if we lose a node, we will see a bigger jump in memory would be a normal cluster and on the recovery of the node we will always use more memory than we were before because the recovered node did not return the partitions available.
  
  See you soon,.
  JK

  Jonathan,

  Yes, all your assumptions are fundamentally good (I'm not surprised that you did...). There is no guarantee that partitions move back to the original node if a node comes back again.

  The only thing I could suggest is to "remake" the "artifice of support card' that the partition is transferred or promoted. In the earphone of backingmap you will be able to determine that a new entry is inserted because of the movement of the partition and use it as the signal to make converge the support the cards on a single binary value. You may still temporarily more memory you want, but you would correct as partition movement happens.
