Recovery drive D has disappeared.

My recovery drive D on my PC was completely full. I did a complete system restore. Nothing happened on the drive D. certain way, the recovery drive D has been erased.  Is there a way I can get it back?

Hello

Loy I'm sorry, but you can't replace the contents of your D: Recovery Partition on the hard disk

The recovery Partition D: was photographed on your hard drive by your computer manufacturer during the production of your computer for these reasons:

1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

.

If you need to reinstall Vista yet, here are two methods to do this.

You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a small fee.

To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    Yes, the collection clears all of the C drive and you will lose your files. The solution would be to backup regularly to an external HARD drive and after the key one to also restore the files from the external hard drive.

    This has been answered before, if you do a search for "key recovery" it appears among the first results.

    Original title: my administrator account has disappearred and I have password protected it.  How can I reformat and reinstall windows7 without administrative privileges

    Hello

    To reinstall Windows 7 you start either from the recovery disks that came with the computer or those that you have made since the partition of recovery according to the manufacturer's instructions; or the recovery of the manufacturer Partition, or by downloading the ISO file and the indications that follow below in this post.

    None of the methods above should require an Admin password.

    Here's more information on the above:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    Manufacturers that make normally for a fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

    Or download the correct ISO file and make your own drive and use the product key located on the COA sticker.

  • CD/DVD Drive just magically disappears... Assistance requested please

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could help me please. The CD/DVD drive has disappeared as if by magic from 'My computer' on my g6 Pavilion (just as I was in the need to burn on a CD wedding music ). So I checked the Device Manager to see what is the problem and the disc was marked with an (!) and the following comment... "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)'

    I tried to use HP support. I tried to update the drivers (it is said that he got the latest driver). I tried using Microsoft support and utility 'Fix', which suggests to unplug the drive - I'm not quite techno to disassemble my laptop. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drive in Device Manager - this does not resolve the error even if the player reappeared again in the device with the same conflict Manager. I tried manually looking for the driver 'hp DVD-RAM UJ8B1' and have met nothing but third-party driver software to be installed first (something I don't do unknown sources). So now I'm at a loss what to try next.

    I would appreciate a lot of clues, tips or troubleshooting of all the people out there who think that they could offer me some advice please.

    Hi Sandra,.

    Try the following.

    Shut down the laptop.  Here tap f8 as soon as you press the power button to start the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select "Disable driver signature enforcement" and press ENTER.

    When windows is loaded, the optical drive now shows under "computer"?

    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

  • recovery drive (d) too full?

    The storage capacity of my recovery disc (d) shows that it is almost full with 14.7 GB used space with a total capacity of 16.7 GB. That only leaves me with a little more than 1 GB remaining. Is it normal to be so full? If this is not the case, how do I delete data not required drom this player? Also, how this data get accumulated? I searched all recovery options I can think of and can't seem to find anything that could be causing my system to be backups of recovery that I have not programmed. I deleted the system restore so that the last point. Clean up system files, disk cleanup, etc. The D drive shows that it has been compressed to save space

    I have 64 bit Desktop HP Pavilion, running Windows 7 Premium. My C drive conversly has 37 GB of space used with 411 GB of free space remaining. I would be grateful someone some light on this for me. As far as I know, this condition can be quite normal.

    eyemchase,

    Welcome to the HP Forum.

    Don't worry about this.  Not add, remove or change anything in recovery.

    The recovery Partition is better and happy like this.

    Recovery is used to restore your computer in case of failure; the partition has within itself all the necessary tools to rebuild the main operating system as it was when the computer is new and clean.

    What is recovery (D hard?)

    Comment

    Unless you really need to, I recommend that you do not remove the recovery partition, that is, do not delete it.  Sometimes people do after their recovery disks (you have made backups of recovery, right?) -and then these same people regret having deleted the partition later.  Sometimes people delete the partition of the accident before making their recovery backups.  It's sad.

    Click on the Thumbs-Up Kudos to testify and say thank you.

    While I strive to reflect best practices of HP, I do not work for HP.
