• 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.

  Creates an image of MS 8.1 Windows Recovery

  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.

  Hello

  If you install the Express Media Player so the whole HARD disk will be deleted!
  I found this installation instruction:

  1. ALL DATA ON THE HARD DRIVE WILL BE DESTROYED IRREVERSABLY

  2. install Express Media Player:
  Boot from the recovery Express Media Player CD
  --> use [delete all Partitions] (can be on the left side of the menu for older versions of reader).
  THIS ERASES THE ENTIRE HARD DRIVE!
  --> 0 x 88 partition ID for the Express Media Player will be created

  (3) boot with the Windows XP Recovery CD, go to expert mode and exit the "TOSHIBA Recovery Tool" (version OEM Ghost) using menuitem "Quit."

  (4) you can use fdisk.exe or gdisk.exe - I'll show the syntax here gdisk
  (its easier to describe and there are a lot of descriptions for FDISK on the net)

  (5) now, we create two partitions (size of 50%: 50% - playersize).
  --> At the DOS prompt, type:
  Gdisk 1 /cre /pri /sz:50%-> creates a primary partition 1
  Gdisk 1 /cre /ext-> creates an extended partition 2
  Gdisk 1/log /cre-> creates a 2nd logical partition
  Gdisk 1/p:1-> partionion set 1 active /act

  (6) now reboot with Windows XP Recovery CD, go to expert mode
  (7) menu use: Local\Partition\From Image, choose image GHO menu

  (8) there should only be ONE partition available source:
  1 primary DiskLoad NTFS 07...-> pick this one!

  (9) Select destination disk (there are also only one)
  1 basic...-> pick this one!

  (10) now you need to choose the destination partition - there should be three to choose!

  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

  Good luck

  Help, please

  If you perform a factory image recovery using the recovery usb media, the current recovery partition will be replaced by a new one.

  Be aware that a factory image recovery will come back to your laptop in its delivered State. This means that all the software that you have added since the introduction and all your data will be deleted. So if you want to go this route, I strongly suggest to copy all of your important data to an external drive and find all of the software and license keys) you want to reinstall and it is ready for use.

• Almost full recovery drive D

  My D recovery drive is about 99% full.

  I continue to generate and save restore points?

  Yes, you can double-click the drive in this PC and then double-click "Recovery."  You should be able to right click on the files you want to delete.  At least, I can do this in my D: / partition.

• Recovery drive D

  I accidentally formatted my recovery drive D on my laptop Envy.  Is there a way to restore this drive?  I did the recovery disc, but want to restore my drive if possible.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, the only way to recover the recovery Partition is to perform a 'Factory Reset' using your set of recovery disks - this procedure will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  It will also recreate the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  Kind regards

• recovery drive D is almost full.

  Original title: annoying error message

  I get a warning that my D recovery drive is almost full.  According to the protocols I double click to get rid of the excess files... .but there is none.  My trash is empty and there is no other visible excess files.    My system works well, but this repeated the message is very tiring.  Any ideas?

• How to reinstall vista on the recovery drive D?

  About 2 years, a Sunday, my hard drive crashed and I was totally novice in time (as much as now, more I forgot the documentation provided with it, my "old" laptop Gateway) so I called a computer repair place listed on Craigslist (no classes please) and said that they could fix and I should just bring him.  Well, I need desperately so I took ("in" is a private home).  Hours later, I got a call that it has been fixed.  They did replace some hardware and the computer was working again, but they gave me the 'good news' that he had thrown an installation of Windows 7 free of charge.  I wasn't happy, but as I quickly bought a new computer with Windows 7 on it anyway, I learned to love it.  With a new laptop, I don't use it much anyway.

  A hinge fails to my 'new' HP laptop and a COMPUTER technician who is a friend is fixing to me.  In the meantime, I have to use this "old" laptop.  He began to act up and I did a system restore, which did not help.  I have recently met a disc of the operating system for this 'old' computer and it's a good thing because little time after the system restore, I received continuous messages of MSE I wasn't "authentic" Windows  It got really teed OFF... some good news-free-install, right?  I certainly didn't use software counterfeit... the only inconvenience factor is more than enough for me to come back on the right path.

  I decided to re - install my real honest to-God-Vista from the bridge of the operating system disk included.  I never had anything like the front and of course, when I was asked where to put the installation, I wasn't sure and so I put it on the C drive, thinking (just think) that things could spill over into the D recovery drive.  He does something like that.

  I tried to go through the steps I used to re - install Vista but it doesn't seem to want to pay attention from now to the OS disk when I use F10 at startup.  What can I do to get this on the recovery disk?  I think it should be there.

  I've already replaced all sorts of files, etc. from the backup I made before I did the re-install, if that makes a difference any.

  Please give me some instructions to get my OS on my D recovery drive files.  Thank you.

  Hello

  You can't put it on the recovery disk (Partition); end of the story.

  Your recovery Partition on your hard drive was photographed during the production of your computer by the manufacturer.

  If it is destroyed, removed, etc., damaged you cannot replace / reinstall or repair.

  You have the DVD anyway.

  See you soon.

• 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:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "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:

  You have not; the recovery disk is exactly that, a player hidden to be found at each recovery of your PC to factory specifications or accessible in order to make the recovery cd did you do this, otherwise do it better as emergency.

• I am running vista home basic, how you can increase the size of the D: Recovery drive

  I am running vista home basic, how you can increase the size of the D: Recovery drive

  Hello

  You use the D: Partition of recovery in 3 different ways to reinstall the operating system.

  1. you press a particular key or key combination at startup, F10, F11, Alt + F10 etc. to begin the process of recovery in new condition (as you bought) in the event of system failure.

  2. start > programs > find software from the manufacturer of your computer > look for a recovery method

  3. you can do recovery disk to reinstall the operating system in case of hard drive failure.

  This will save you the purchase of the computer manufacturer's recovery disks.

  The manufacturer will advise you on the options

  See you soon.
