• Manager Windows 8.1 and the HP recovery disk manager cannot remove the recovery partition

  I have the following computer: HP ENVY h8 desktop PC - 1437c.  I used the HP Recovery application to do a recovery on a flash drive disk. When you have finished this operation it was not an option to remove the recovery partition (drive D on my computer. I tried to reopen the HP Recovery Manager and try to remove it like that, but to remove it is greyed out. I also tried to delete it using the 8.1 windows Disk Manager, but there is no way to do there either. If I right click on the recovery Partition, I get only an option 'help '. How can I get rid of this partition and recover lost space using it now on my hard drive. Windows and HP did not want to provide more records with their computers, but they do not have a problem of screwing of MY hard drive that I bought and paid for. I should start to charge rent for the space.

  I just used the software and created another partition as drive D using all unallocated space. I can delete probably once again, or maybe I'll just use it as a storage device for my files instead of recovering files sofetware... Thanks for the help

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  You can format the 'C' drive or let Windows during installation, you can also be able to upgrade the disk hard if you want to.

  After the installation of Windows 8, please post (text only) of the "Hardware ID" Device Manager all the missing and/or unknown devices, as shown in the example below and we can direct you to the correct drivers.

• Return to Windows 7 by using the recovery partition

  I installed Windows 8 on Windows 7 and want to go back to Windows 7 using the recovery partition.  Is it possible that I can do this?

  No it is not possible, unless you make the recovery disks that copy the recovery on an external partition. This partition is unnecessary after windows installation 8. Consider using windows 8 and 8.1 upgrade and always start on the desktop instead of the Start Page. It is very similar to windows 7 with a few improvements.

• trying to do a clean installation of windows vista by using the dvd

  I am trying to simply destroy my computer and start clean using the reinstall DVD supplied with my dell PC. It has windows Vista Home Basic on it. When I put the DVD in its loading and a window pops up asking if I want to install and I press Yes. After a while a box appears that says I don't have enough storage for temporary files. He needs so many megabytes of free space on a partition to be able to load the disc. the problem is that I have NOTHING on the computer, there should be more sufficient storage space! How can I get the DVD to run?

• Meeting place for Dell 8 Pro 5855 - delete the recovery partition?

  I just bought a place 8 Pro 5855. I did a recovery USB disk. I was wondering if there is a way to remove the recovery partition so that I can retrieve this internal storage space. I could try something like EaseUS or MiniTool, but I was wondering if there was another way that I wasn't aware of. Is there a reason why I should not delete the recovery partition? Thank you!

  This is how I did it:

  1. run Diskpart (from Run or CMD prompt), don't worry he'll ask the elevation to Admin

  2. type: select disk 0 (main SSD)

  3. type: list of partition (to see the available partitions)

  4. type: select the partition 6 (my recovery partition, yours may be different)

  5. type: delete partition replacement (deletes the partition 6)

  6. type: select partition 5 (my Windows, to the area to recover partition deleted)

  7. type: extend (retrieves the space)

  8. type: exit

  It worked for me on the DV8P 5830.

• HP Envy 15t: 8.1 Windows Installer Clean in the hard drive model GPT without losing the RECOVERY partition

  Always I try to format my windows partition, I get the following error:

  Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style.

  So I'd like a clean install of Windows 8.1 without changing the style of hard drive or in bulk my RECOVERY partition.

  OBS.: I just can I perform boot after you disable UEFI and Secure Boot.

  @lucasc ,

  Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  You will not be able to do it without damaging the recovery partition.  If you want to do a fresh install on your system, use the system recovery.

  If this isn't the case, you will install the operating system of your choice.  So before you send that the laptop came with the operating system, and you supported drivers for the operating system you want to install.

  If this isn't the case, you will not be able to find in driver support and you end up with hardware problems.  The drivers are built for laptop based on the OS that it was released with and they are owners.

  I hope this helps.  Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

• Windows 8 clean install from the recovery partition

  Hello, I just purcased a new computer, last week. It contains a copy of the widows 8. I just got a new ssd 240 GB and I want to do a clean install of windows 8 opperating system not a ghost copy. I do not have a windows disk with my computer but I have a recovery partition on my current hard drive. How can I get windows to reinstall on my new ssd with only the recovery partition?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hello

  A primary role of a set of recovery disks is to rebuild a machine after the failure of his HARD drive, in Exchange for a bigger HARD drive (capacity)) or Exchange a HDD with a SSD. I do not see why we cannot use the game in this case.

  Kind regards.

• during the installation of windows 8, which upgraded the wizard asks to install now or install by creating media what the difference

  during the installation of windows 8, which upgraded the wizard asks to install now or install by creating media what the difference

  When you install by creating media, allows to create a backup of a Virgin DVD USB or USB key installation files. (I recommend you do this in case you need to reinstall Windows 8 in the future).

  If you choose to not, Windows 8 will be a non-media from your hard drive installation automatically.

  Windows 8 simplifies the procurement process with an installer called Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant Web that makes it easy to download and create a local backup for future use. Digital distribution works this way, you download the installer, launch that and he will download Windows 8, the time it takes depends on the speed of your Internet connection ultimately. Microsoft noted that the Web Installer includes a sophisticated compression technology that downloads pieces in sections of 10 MB to ensure that its safe delivery. When you download the installer, the installer creates a folder called "WindowsESD" in the root of your drive C:\ (if you have multiple partitions that this case may be on another). From there, you will find a complete Windows disk image, you can burn it to a blank DVD and make your own physics, copy, or store it on a USB key.

• I didt create a disk recovery for windows 7 Home premium, and I lost the original and the recovery partition

  I didt create a disk recovery for windows 7 Home premium and I lost the original and the recovery partition, but I have still the product key and the same laptop that was originally installed with windows 7 copy and now im turning my laptop with a fake copy, how to restore the original copy of windows 7?

  Hello

  You have certainly reduced your options

  The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

  But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

  As you have licensed preinstalled OEM (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee, if they still have them available.

  Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

  See you soon.
