recovery drive creating problem

Hello-I have a desktop Lenovo K430 with win8 64bits, 12 GB memory and 1 TB of HARD drive. My problem is that I can't create a recovery disk. I use a 2 GB Flash disk for the recovery disc.

I have printed to create a retrieval Support of Windows USB drive article. I checked for a recovery partition using the command prompt and received the following response after entering the following command line: C:\windows\system32>recing\show current

There is no active custom recovery image.

I followed the procedure to create a restore partition and received the following reply after you enter mkdir Image C:\Refesh to the command prompt and recimg-CreateImage C:\RefreshImage at the command prompt: recimg-CreateImage is not recognized as an internal or external command. If there is correction of this error please provide correction. Otherwise, I hope that a correction is coming. Thank you. I have attachments of these reported problems, but I couldn't find a link to attach documents.

Hi Wardell,

You will be able to boot from the recovery drive by changing the boot priority in the BIOS (BIOS). However, it is good to know that you check it. Let us know the results.

  • Recovery media creating problem

    Hello, I just bought a X 1 in carbon fiber.

    There is a media recovery Q: partition I want to backup to an external hard drive.

    When I run the media recovery software, he's looking for a disk to install it to. It is said to reformat this player. I plug my external hard drive which has 2 partitions. 1, the main disk partition and 2) a partition newly formatted specifically for this recovery media, but it detects only the primary partition on my external.

    Please can someone explain why it does not detect the other partitions on this external hard drive? I don't want to erase the 2 TB of media, I have on the primary partition of my exterior, and 2 partitoins are formatted using the same type of file system. I did a 40 GB partition to compensate for the files extracted or all the extras.

    I just called tech support with my warranty of 3 years Expert Committee and spoke to someone in Georgia who did not have any any idea what either partner computer. She asked me what icons under System properties, I saw and she asked me what my picture "looked like" after that I explained that I was on the partition windows 7 and I could see the Q: drive 'hidden' with the support of recovery on this subject.

    So far I'm intensely unhappy with the service that I paid the extra to have problems of this kind. I'm clearly not to get an answer from him on this subject, so if someone here might chime, it would be great.

    Thank you.

    Utility to create recovery media is supposed to control the layout of the MBR and the partition on the disk target.  The utility is supposed to create simple, directly bootable recovery media and is intended not simply to do what you want.

  • Recovery discs creating problem

    Hello

    I just bought a Lenovo 3000 N500 3 DG and I have this problem when I try to create the recovery disks:

    I do double click on unity of q, and the system then asks me if I want to do the recovery disks. Then I click 'Yes' and the system creates a first disc succesfully (labeled "disc 1 product thinkvantage recovery"), but then I inserted a DVD to make the second disc and when the system is it creates about 80-90%, an error occurs and the process is interrupted. This error occurs whenever I try to create the second DVD, exactly at the same point in the creative process. I tried a few types of DVD and none of them works.

    I think this may be due to a failure of the windows vista software, recording, because when I burn a DVD with Nero everything is Ok and when I try to burn a CD with windows, that an error occurs at the end of the process of the. Could someone tell me how to do the recovery discs?

    I also have a second question: the laptop comes with windows vista Home premium pre-installed, and I want to downgrade to XP Professional. Does anyone know if the warranty expires during a downgrade? And if I decide to do the downgrade, then I remove the three partitions (C:, q and S or the S: partittion is necessary for recovering the system?)

    Thank you!

    Please take a look at the solution in this post to see if that helps your situation. To let us know.

    If you upgrade to XP is not invalidated your warranty, the warranty covers the hardware and not software.

    If you create recovery discs for your Vista installation, you can delete all partitions, recovery CD will be recreated them when you use them.

  • MS Recovery Drive vs HP Recovery Media in desktop PC

    Hello

    Last year, I bought a desktop PC all-in-one HP Pavilion 23-B115EA with Windows 8 is installed.  Later, I upgraded to 8.1 of the store.

    Recently, I wanted to create a disc of recovery in the case where, but ended up creating two:

    1. From the start screen, I typed "create a recovery disc" and consulted the menu with the button 'Copy the recovery partition' checked.  I used a 32GB USB as a 16GB one was not quite big enough, because although it would only take about 14.9 GB, with formatting, it was a little more than 16 GB.  The recovery disk was created successfully.
    2. I checked with HP email support, but they referred me to the HP Recovery Manager.  I have it accessible from the icon Support HP and found a menu with create recovery media, but it is about 14.7 GB and it mounted on a 16 GB USB DRIVE.

    I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know the difference between these two recoveries and that one is better than the other.

    Kind regards

    The HP Recovery Manager creates a replica of the computer as it was delivered to you.

    After the upgrade to Windows 8.1, you should take the time to build a new disc of recovery on the USB storage media.  By building a new recovery disk, you will have an easy way to perform a system reset / refresh with the bits of the Windows 8.1 operating system, if necessary to recover from a situation of system boot down the road.

  • W700ds: Select RAID using recovery media created

    Hello!

    I am owner of a ThinkPad W700ds, but I guess my question will be answered there as well if it were a W700... Please, any help would be great!

    I bought a "used" W700ds with Windows Vista Business (COST and recovery partition intact, but no media provided). The laptop has been published with RAID0, but I was always doubtful that it has been implemented correctly. I spent some time he investigation this afternoon and noticed that the BIOS has not been configured correctly - it was set to AHCI instead of the RAID.

    I did the following:

    (1) created using the installation in the ThinkVantage software recovery media.
    (2) RAID enabled in the BIOS
    (3) entered in the RAID (Ctrl + I) starting at the top. I configured as RAID0 readers.
    (4) reinstalled Windows Vista using the recovery media created in (1) above.

    After completing the installation of Windows Vista would be failed to start - always BSOD'ing.

    I repeated step 3 & 4 above, select RAID1 instead. Exactly the same problem.

    I have since return to the setting of the AHCI BIOS and reinstalled Windows Vista using the recovery media and I'm back where I started (Windows installed, but in a RAID array).

    I did some research and it seems that in the RAID drivers are not included in the recovery media and this is the reason for the BSOD. I've included some of the many websites I read, both for your reading and, somehow, to check that I really spent some time to the consideration of this issue before asking for help.

    Media recovery that I created, that's all I have - is there a 'stand-alone' for me way to activate RAID? I prefer RAID1 (I would favour redundancy over the speed), but would be happy with RAID0 if this is not possible. It seems it is scandalous that Lenovo (aware - and obviously not "expected" as alternative installation media is considered a book 'around') offer the possibility to create recovery media, which does not have to reinstall Windows by using a configuration valid.

    It seems that it is not possible to maintain the RAID by Lenovo R & R, which probably explains why the seller announced the ThinkPad RAID, but it did not come to me as such (the seller has used the recovery partition to restore laptop to factory for me state before ending our sale - makes sense!). It seems a shame to have a laptop that offers RAID functionality and has the necessary equipment (RAID controller and two disks) and hit a sort of brick on software restrictions. Can someone advice how can I proceed to reinstall Windows with the disks in a RAID array, as I have only the Lenovo recovery media?

    Lenovo support are closed today due to the day Bank holiday UK but I'll try next time - but I'm afraid my fate is in your hands already, like the ThinkPad is out of warranty.

    Thank you!!

  • On Windows 7, recovery drive (D) filling

    Hi people,

    I just installed Windows 7 on a Dell inspiron laptop 1521. Although there are a lot of disk space on drive C, drive D (the recovery drive) has a red horizontal bar appear almost everywhere. Although it is a recovery of 10Gig drive he says that there is only 397MB left.

    Some ants software reason I install gets directed to the D drive, and all the files get directed it. I just tried to download I Tunes and it fails as part of the program is directed to the D drive, but there is not enough space!

    In addition, the system seems to run pretty fast and smooth. It's just this recovery disk D clutter. I hope someone can help.

    All the best,
    John

    Hi John,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

    Here's a work around to change the installation path by default for applications of the D: drive to the C: drive or which will drive you want from the registry.

    Important: this message contains information about how to edit the registry. Make sure that you back up the registry before you edit it. Make sure you know how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up, restore, and modify the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    Back up the registry

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    To access the Registry Editor:

    1. Click Start and type regedit in the search field.
    2. In the list, click on regedit programs.
    3. Navigate to the following location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    4. Now search for a key in the right pane called ProgramFilesDir.

    You should see that the value of something as D: \Program Files.

    5 double-click on the value and change it to what you want, for example: C:\Program Files. From then on, whenever you install a new program, Windows will use the new location in the default installation directory.

    I hope this helps.

  • Received error code 0 x 80070070, little space on the D: Recovery drive is full.

    Original title: 10 upgrade of Windows 8 Windows

    I get error code 0 x 80070070. On Recovery D: low disk space

    Disk is full.

    What should I do?

    None of the answers I had had nothing to do with the question, so I'll answer it myself.

    It is a problem of HP. The solution lies on their site here:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03737312

    I did it and it worked perfectly. The warning of no do not remove the necessary recovery files was a moot point. The system wouldn't let me not in all cases.

    You are advised to:

    Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To fix any problems that have occurred with the D: Partition Recovery, you will need to contact your computer manufacturer (HP) to remove everything that was added on.

  • Can the Win8 recovery drive and the System Image be stored on the same device?

    I intend to create a windows 8 recovery on my USB HDD drive.  Then, I want to create a System Image using the file Win7 recovery tool, but put on the same HARD drive, so that I don't have 2 devices.  Normally, I believe the recovery drive utility fits on a 256 MB USB key, but why not co-exist with the system image files?

    Hello

    Yes, you are right. To store an image of the system, the disc must be in NTFS format. Please refer to the information on the following link; If it's for Windows 7, the information is true for Windows 8 as well.

    Back up your programs, files and system settings

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    The ONLY way to return to its original state of the recovery partition is to do a full erase of the hard drive and reconfiguration of the PC itself Žtat factory use HP Recovery Media - and, as said, that will delete EVERYTHING on the drive!

    If you have backups of the image, as you requested, then you really don't need to partition and can safely remove to reclaim that space.

    If Windows won't let you delete this partition, then try using this: Best Free Partition Manager for Windows | MiniTool Partition free
