• Question on HP recovery disks

  The thing is, im about to upgrade my motherboard and buy Windows 7 as my vista OEM license becomes zero, but on this upgrade, the parts that are remains a do a computer itself without a hard drive. Now the question is: if I do recovery HP discs will be that I can then in the future when I decide to finally add a HP computer hard drive install Windows Vista from the recovery discs or what I need to get the real Vista install disks somewhere? The FAQ for support disks, said they could be used in a "major system crash" but does that mean that they can be used to install windows vista on a blank hard disk or does it require the FACTORY_IMAGE partition currently on my hard drive?

  Hello

  HP recovery disks, check if a "tattoo" on the chip of the bios in order to validate the installation, so as long as it is present, Vista should install fine.  There is no problem with the fact that the hard drive may be empty - the recovery disks will actually recreate the recovery image on the disc.

  The only thing to keep in mind is that the recovery disks will load automatically all the original drivers that have been necessary, so forinstance if your new configuration has a different than the original graphics card, this can cause problems when the original driver is loaded - if you can, keep the key elements of the material as it is identical to the original.

• 2 questions: touchpad and recovery disk

  I installed Windows seven and then proceed to installing the drivers of recovery disk, but everytime I start this it says it will restart my computer. After reboot, nothing happens and when I run it restarts again again and again... What can I do with it?

  The other problem is that my touchpad no longer works, after installing Windows 7. It worked on Vista, it worked on linux, but it does not work on 7. I installed all the drivers for the touchpad on the official website and I tried a few random from the internet but the touchpad simply doesn't work. How can I solve this problem?

  EDIT:
  My computer is L500-126

• The recovery disk is sensitive to the size of the hard drive?

  Hello

  I just bought my new laptop Satellite.

  I have owned one of these puppies before and so I know that the Toshiba recovery disc is a ghost image.

  What I did is erased the hard drive clean because it's a piece of the circuit city showroom and t couldn't trust what was out there.

  I put Ubuntu on the laptop. I want to put Vista on a VM.

  As you can imagine, the virtual machine would have much less space than the actual size of the hard drive (200 GB) but of course, large enough to accommodate the installation of vista and all the goodies of Toshiba.

  With this all said, the image will be cough, hanging and allows me not to install during installation of the ghost due to the different size image in space? So say the laptops hard drive space, it is 200 GB, but I only allocated 50 GB virtual hard disk.

  Now I don't have a version of the class my program of schools Microsoft vista legitimate business, but I would use the home premium came with the laptop and use that Toshiba had provided me.

  Then, going to work, or it will not?

  Thank you for your comments.

  > I wonder what the disc labeled "Toshiba recovery disk' which is come with my new laptop that I just bought actually is then.
  Don t confuse boyfriend new Toshiba with Vista OS notebooks are equipped with HARD drive recovery option. But it also contains an option to create a recovery DVD in case the HARD disk will fail.

  If you buy an old series laptop with Win XP, then it might be possible that you don t have the option to drive HARD recovery, but instead, you've got a recovery disk.

  As you said above; the recovery disk contains an image (I doubt it s a ghost still image) that contains an operating system Windows, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.

  Good bye

• Question about recovery disks

  Hello everyone, Im a person retired and new to computers and the forums. My question is, when, where and why the recovery discs are used? My L series has 2 of them. Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  Badhat wrote the very good display, but here's my little additional explanation:

  Each computer will be used with operating system. Operating system is just part of the system that works well. Preinstalled OS must have good communication with all available hardware components. For this reason, for each material single component must be installed right driver. OS with the drivers can work well, but this isn't the end of the story. Toshiba offers many additional functions for keys, power control and so on. For this Toshiba application offer and install the additional tools and utilities.

  As you can see the preparation of BONE can be quite complicated for people without good knowledge of PC. To avoid this Toshiba prepare all this. People who work in the service of software install OS on certain model of laptop, install the necessary drivers al, tools, utility and software additional (anti-virus software) and create the image of the recovery of it. Recovery image is a kind of fingerprint of the stuff all pre-installed so when you use image recovery everything installs correctly and when installation is complete, you will be able to use the laptop immediately without spending your time to configure anything. This condition is also called if the factory settings.

  In the past, that Toshiba has delivered equipped laptops of recovery disc in the box of you, but in recent years the recovery image is saved on the HARD disk and each owner of the laptop must / should create recovery disks only. It can be done using an application preinstalled called creator of recovery disk Toshiba.

  Take care of your disks. You can use hem many times and without limits every time when something is a crew up and you want to have own OS preinstalled and use the laptop with the factory settings.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Question about the use of recovery disks Vista Bus on T500 with XP Pro downgraded

  I searched to see if this has been addressed already and I don't see anything about it. I also looked through the Lenovo support site and could not find any documentation with specific information, that I'm looking. So, if all goes well, the people here will have an idea.

  I have a T500 which was ordered with retired on WinXP Pro. It also came with a set of Vista Business (four discs) recovery disks. I plan to get my machine with Vista business records and down XP Pro, but I had a few questions.

  1. as it currently stands, I guess that the R & R partition that is on the HARD drive at this time restoring a WinXP Pro system if I start and get back with her. Is this correct?

  2. If I boot from the recovery disc Vista Business and use it for the recovery of the system, it creates a new partition 'Factory' R & R which would incorporate a Vista Business install?

  I may be wrong on my assumptions and even after the start of the R & R partition, it is really the recovery disks that I choose to use that would dictate if I found myself with a XP or Vista Bus. System.

  For what it's worth, I created a set of recovery disc R & R for the installation of WinXP Pro in case I need to revert to this version.

  I hope that my question is logical and that someone out there has an answer for me.

  Thanks in advance!

  jskang, welcome to the forum,

  Yes on both counts.

  Removal of all the hard drive recovery disks, create the service partition and then the system installs from the recovery with the flavor of windows partition, so that the discs are.

  It was a good idea to create the XP discs.

• How can I friendship recovery disk size D?

  Computer of Gateway comes with Vista Home Premium, I added 1 SP.  He got a HDD GB 116; divided into a player of Local 'C' GB 106 with 70 GB of free and a RECOVERY drive "D" of 10 GB which is full.  How can I increase the size of the RECOVERY disk?

  Hello gydcgreen54,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  What kind of computer Gateway do you have?  You made a copy of the a ' drive for a restore point?  Most of the OEM (manufacturers) include a restore on the computer partition. This partition contains 'all' on the computer at the time, it was built and is used to restore the computer to its original state - in some cases that a CD/DVD is also provided. Recovery is to start from a CD or «Press F11...» "message at startup.  Some manufacturers make the partition hidden or inaccessible to protect.

  I also recommend to check with gateway support based on your make and model under/forums.  Please state councillor.

• New recovery disks the size of hard drive

  Hello world

  I created a set of recovery disks for my laptop HP Pavilion G7. He was 6-disc. The original hard drive recovery disks made of was a 750 GB hard drive.

  The drive began to die on this laptop. I have another laptop I do not use and which has a new 500GB inside. I went on the hard disks they are compatible.

  My question is can I use the recovery discs I had made of the 750 GB drive that is now dying and to get new hard disk that is 500 GB. I started the process, but stalled on to Midway through the disc 4. Is it because I put in a smaller HDD?

  At this point I have to buy a hard drive that is at least 750 GB?

  Please advise and thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Recovery media may have problems if used on the lower to the original discs.

  Another option that you might consider, like your laptop originally shipped with Windows 8 and the activation key is stored in the Bios Chip, would be to create your own OEM of Windows 8 installation disc.

  For more details on how to do this, see the post Hüffer 3rd on the following link - Note: download is subject to a ceiling, you may need to try over a period of several hours before it starts successfully

• Restore using the recovery disks on Inspiron 15 3521 supplied with Windows 8 Pro. Question on the recovery partition.

  I created by the user recovery disks.  I created them the day I got the computer and he made three of them.  My brother has deleted my recovery partition just now.  My question is, if I resumed my Inspiron 15 3521 using three recovery disks that I created, be it recreate the recovery partition in the process?   I just need an answer to this question, not responses indicating that, if I have the disks, I don't need the recovery partition, why would I want the recovery partition if I have the drive, etc.  I would like to just a simple answer to the question.  If I use the recovery discs, it will recreate the partition recovery with all the info, she was in it when I got to the computer?  Once the recovery is completed from disks, will be that recovery partition be there as the day I got the computer, so if I wanted to (I don't want to, but I'm just a question) I could still create the recovery of her discs?  Basically, the computer will be exactly as it was the day I got it home, recover partition and everything?  Or, it will restore the computer to the new plant, but not to re-create the recovery partition with everything she had in it the day I got it?

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes, it will be if you select the correct option.

  See these videos:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/4794.21-Windows-8-restoring-from-recovery-media.aspx

  Recovery of factory - "deletes all data and resets the Partitions.

  Updating of the factory - "Only restores the System Partition and keep other Partition content".

  It might be good for you to ask a Windows OS DVD 8.0/8.1 just in case the recovery media works however.

• What card SD size should I expect create a recovery disk?

  I just bought an inspiron 11 3000 series 2-in-1 for my son to school.

  God knows, it will probably load tons of stuff on him that will finally it slow down for analysis and I will need to freshen up before the road of the school year.  So, I want to create a system for her drive until it begins to use it and I want to use a cool map only for that, so I can keep them safe and not have it used for something else.

  What is the size of a disk I need create this recovery disk and system?  I used to use only the old CD, but it was at the time where I really was just reinstall the generic Windows and don't care about the drivers and others for my desktop PC.  I want to keep his laptop pretty much OEM factory to make our lives a little easier in the long run.

  A 8 GB would be plenty for this?

  Thank you

  This flash drive will be dedicated to the backup, if anything more than 16G is wasted. 64G may be a best value in general, but in this case, I recommend the thumb drive 16G cheaper than you can find, and I would also like to make two just to be sure.

• If the size of the disk recovery is asking more than the flash player?

  I have laptop vaio with windows 8 inside. I want to create a recovery disk. He said that the flash drive must have 32 GB of space. but he has only 29.5 GB. will this be a problem? I really need to check the "copy of the recovery partition from the pc on the recovery disk? What happens if I don't? It starts to create the recovery with low memory drive? I'm totally confused. & I don't know much about PCs.

  Hello

  What is the full error you receive when you try to create the recovery disk?

  If you have an OEM computer comes with Windows 8 preinstalled, you can also check the box to copy the contents of the recovery disk recovery partition to be able to use the USB key recovery to restore the factory Windows 8.

  The size required for the USB drive create a disc of Windows 8 recovery actually depends on the size of the recovery image Windows 8, which is stored on a dedicated PC recovery partition. This on the PC recovery Partition is generally 3 to 6 GB in size.

  Windows 8 includes a built-in tool for creating a recovery USB disk and while creating this recovery USB drive, Windows considers the size of partition recovery on your computer and will let you know what is the recovery partition, so that you can use a USB to a larger size. For more information, please refer to this article:

  Create a recovery USB disk

  Hope this information helps. If the problem persists, we will be happy to help you.

• Question aboput using the recovery disk

  If I use the recovery disk, it will remove the Toshiba assist installed on my pc? I don't have the tools and disk utilities.

  Thank you

  Using the recovery disc disc HARD integer will be erased but it is applied to factory as from the date of purchase. This means that everything will be installed again (all drivers, tools, and utilities).

  The laptop will be as good as new. And of course Toshiba Assist is part of the recovery image and it will be there again.

  Good bye

• Satellite P200D-139 - Question about recovery disk

  My father has a Toshiba Satellite P200D-139 and we lost the recovery for laptop disk and the recovery HARD drive image also disappeared.

  So I ordered a new pack of Toshiba and I was just wondering if I had to put a new HARD drive in the laptop (a bigger HARD drive) the recovery pack contains Windows Vista to put it back on the hard drive?

  I once had an old Windows XP on Toshiba Satellite 1900 and packed on that hard drive if I bought a new disc and ran the recovery disk and it put Windows back on so I hope that this pack for this laptop does the same.

  Hey,.

  Is that the Toshiba recovery disc can restore the factory settings every time and on each HARD drive. If you replace a new s than what it still possible to restore the factory settings on the same HARD drive, nothing is installed on the HARD drive. HARD drive recovery files are not necessary for the recovery disk because the recovery itself contains these files.

  So replace with a bigger HARD drive and boot from the recovery disc. You come out of the box settings and the computer will be ready to use after this :)

• Satellite A100 - question about recovery disk

  When I bought my Toshiba laptop, I received a product with her recovery disk.
  At first, I thought it was the recovery of the whole Windows XP (OS which was preinstalled) but on the back cover of the case, he said only "Windows Office One Note"

  So this product for a recovery notes only?

  Yes, it looks like a recovery disk from Toshiba which would format the whole HARD drive and reinstall the operating system preinstalled together.

• BT question perhaps in connection with the recovery disk

  I formatted my A100 without using the second recovery disk. System seems stable, but I can't use BT, I tried to install the monitor BT, BT Stack, pilots, but still can not.
  Someone knows something about it?

  Hello

  If your laptop is BT on board all the necessary software is included in the recovery image.
  All you need to do is put the WLAN switch on IT (the WLAN led will be ON) and the combination of keys after you have made this BT activate using FN + F8.

  The BT hardware installation should begin. Just follow the menu on the screen and complete the BT installation. When finished, you will be able to use BT. in the future please make sure that the BT is enabled with the FN + F8 key combination.
