Question of Partition of hard drive recovery Vista

I tried to repair my Vista OS using the recovery hard disk partition.  It did not work.  Instead, my laptop (dell inspiron 1545) continue to boot normally without doing a repair.  So I guess something is wrong with my operating system may not be able to access the recovery partition, or the recovery partition is corrupted.  If I do a complete vista reinstall with the OEM that came with my laptop disks, this recovery partition will always be there or it will disappear?  If it is there, I will be able to use it in the future to repair my computer if necessary, or will it be an empty recovery partition?

Hello

The recovery discs are back to exactly how you bought new

The recovery Partition is not not to make repairs; It is to reinstall the operating system configuration (new State); do the same thing as the recovery disks.

It's the opinion of Dell on how to use their Vista recovery Partition;

"Restore your software Computer´s factory settings."

Dell also has diagnostic software to solve computer problems:

And here's how to use the Dell recovery disks:

  • Equium A210 - Question on two 2 hard drives using Vista

    I'm looking for some portable refurbished Toshiba and see that some of them (including the title template) have 2 hard drive bays. An individual has a specified 80 GB drive and I am puzzled as to how, if the 80 GB is divided, it can run Vista.

    I intend to use the built-in hard drive to run the programs and the OS and use an external drive to store all my data, that's why I go for a laptop with a hard drive relatively low and hopefully get a good quality for less money machine.

    But I would like to know what size are these 2 drives and you would be grateful for information about the ins and outs of the 2 hard drives.

    Thanks in advance if you can enlighten me :)

    > An individual has a specified 80 GB drive and I am puzzled as to how, if the 80 GB is divided, it can run Vista.
    Your question confuses me, I wonder what's not clear for you
    You are right. Some series are equipped with two bays for HARD drives, but this does not mean that you can use 2 hard disks because not all models with 2 bays for HARD drives supports 2 HARD disk controllers. So before use 2 HARD drive, you will need to check first if the second span would contain HARD drive connectors.

    In addition, the installation of Vista OS always create 2 partitions on the HARD disk.
    A small partition is hidden and it contains the necessary vista backup files that are needed to repair the Vista operating system (in critical situations).
    The second partition contains the common files system.

    This is the whole secret of Vista

  • Satellite T110-121 - Question about disk and hard drive recovery

    Hello

    I started to use my nice new Satellite T110-12. How can I create a recovery disc?

    Why is there that a common message on the vibration has been detected, HDD head has been moved to a safe position? Is there something wrong? I would return it before the week is up?

    Please answer, thanks a lot a lot!

    Hi LindaMon,

    > How to create a recovery disk?
    What about reading your user manual?
    You need a 8 GB USB key for the creation of a support recovery and preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

    > head drive has been moved to a safe position?
    Yes, that's normal and everything is ok with your laptop. Your HARD drive will be protected by HDD/SSD Alert utility which is a nice feature of Toshiba to avoid accidents of the head and can improve the lives of the internal HARD disk.
    But yoou can disable these notifications if you want. ;)

    > Is it possible to recreate the partition?
    I know it s not possible to create it again without use of the Toshiba Recovery disk AFAIK this partitions contains also some brands that are necessary at the start of this partition.

    > Or create a files recovery disk? -
    I have the program of recovery-disc-creator if possible continue to use?
    Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool usually needs the HARD drive partition to create the recovery disk. But I doubt it will be functions if you've already deleted this partition.
    But nevertheless, you can see it.
    Create the partition (Vista disk management), copy these files on this partition and check if the Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool would find it.

    If not, I don t think you could create this partition of HARD drive

    In this case, you will need to purchase a Toshiba Recovery disk

    Hello

    40GBs is the minimum; who will be vey quickly useless.

    Recovery partition would have been photographed by the manufacturer of the computer hard disk and you can't replicate that.

    You can use all of the hard disk space available to install Vista on.

  • Question on erasing the HARD drive and partitions

    Hi my name is Fanta and I want to sell my laptop to someone, but I want to avoid impersonation so.
    I'll use an erasure software that will wipe away my whole HARD drive until there is no data.
    This is why I would like to know if there is a recovery on my HARD drive partition ready, and if there is a partition to the HARD drive recovery.

    Wipe tool will wipe the partition on the HARD disk. If he wipe the partition will take the recovery partition and if I need the recovery partition and I don't what will happen?

    Hello

    Generally, you won't find any recovery on the HARD drive partition. The Toshiba Recovery CD should always be supplied with the device. It must be only installed the operating system with the Toshiba drivers and utilities.
    However, if the Erase tool will also clear your partition then all files and data will be deleted.

    The HARD drive will be formatted again during the installation of the OS. If you want to use partitions on the HARD disk, you can create it in addition with Magic8 Partitions. I use this app and it of very great.

  • Partition on HARD drive disappeared after formatting using the product recovery disc

    My laptop came with a partitioned hard drive C and D drives.

    After formatting my hard drive using the recovery disk of the supplied product with my computer, I don't have any option to partition the HARD drive, only for the 1. 46 GB for some recommended backup, and the remainder became the C drive.
    D drive disappeared. Now, when I put the USB ant in my laptop, it reads as D drive.
    Can you please help, I need to have my hard drive partitioned into C and D drives, and flash memory can be any subsequent letter.

    Hello Richard

    Is it so complicated to tell us which model of laptop you have exactly?
    Anyway, when you use recovery Toshiba you cannot lose score. After using the recovery media, you'll have to factory settings and the structure of the HARD disk will be the same as on the first day.
    Something like that is definitely not possible.

    > I don't have no option to partition the HARD disk
    This option doesn't exist. On some older models of laptops, just an option to set up the first score ability there.
    After the first start, you can go to disk management and activate the second partition. All that s!

    Please tell me what model of laptop have you then I can tell you more about the partitions.

    to activate the other partitions, I converted the recovery disc to the logic.

    There is no need to copy to external hard drive. Make your DVD or USB Flash Media - Player's recovery. Although you may have already broken the recovery partition function by changing logic.

  • Satellite A500 - HARD drive recovery option is no longer available at the F8 Menu

    Hello, this my phone trees.
    I reset my Satellite A500 and due to a power failure reset did not finish. When I have inexplicable with F8 I can see HARD drive recovery option, and then must log on my account that I did not at all because of the power failure.
    Then I installed a copy of Vista retail, hoping to create an account and be able to retrieve from the HARD drive.
    PROBLEM! : Now I don't see the "Recovery disk" option at all.
    QUESTION: There must be a way to integrate this option in the windows Startmenu (F8). Can someone help me with this issue? I burn the DVD recovery and the recovery partition is still there.
    Thanks in advance.

    More big mistake made you ve, it's that you don't l l create recovery DVD such as recommended by Toshiba.

    Why you didn t ask how it works before you do anything?
    You've misunderstood with username and account.

    Now, when you use your own installation, you need to remove the option for installation of HARD drive recovery and the recovery image can be installed with recovery only DVDs.
    Now, you have two options:
    -to order the new recovery DVDs or
    d ' use the clean install of the OS.

    What do you think of this?
    To be honest, I think you need to use Windows 7 on this laptop.

    I recommend you to install Win7. Download page for all the necessary drivers, you can find and download from Toshiba

  • Satellite A300 - how to start HARD drive recovery after own OS insatallation

    Hi guys.

    I have a question.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista.
    Normally I have the recovery with the normally pre-installed utility partition.
    After that I formatted the system partition, I installed a clean and fresh Windows 7 copy.

    My question is this.
    Since the recovery partition does not get soiled with, is there not a way to install the disk recovery utility hard back in recovery of Windows of F8 before the boot options?

    Please don't tell me that I need to have the recovery disk.
    I already did, I just want to find a solution because it is not that hard for someone who accidentally formatted the system partition and had not created the disks, but the recovery partition. My guess is to do some modifications in the files of the Windows recovery environment that are launched when you use the option to repair my computer at startup, because normally, HARD drive recovery utility appears as one of its tools-options.

    The problem is that I don't have to where these files are, maybe (C:\boot?)
    Currently, I am trying to see if a facility upgrade of windows 7 on windows vista will keep options for hard drive recovery then maybe I will find what it takes.

    All suggestions are welcome!
    Thank you for your time.

    OK, just a hint more, I found what is happening with the recovery environment, and which must be replaced to include more tools...
    This article was really helpful:
