Recovery Manager tries to 'recover' windows Vista after installing Linux

Hello

I installed linux Mint on HP EliteBook 6930p friend that has Recovery Manager on him. Linux works fine, but after choosing Vista in the bootmanager, it starts normally at first but then straight to the Recovery Manager, who wants to restore factory settings. Of course, we want to keep the current settings, how do we disable the Recovery Manager?

Thank you in advance and the best,

Steve

I suggest you make a set of HP recovery disks or USB recovery media before deleting access recovery.

Deactiviating Recovery Manager is too easy.

Remove the recovery partition.

Are you sure you want to do this? Activation, it is much more difficult.

I hope that you advise your friend aware of the consequences of the removal of the partition.

Why not run a live version of Linux Mint from a USB key instead?

  • How to reinstall Vista after installing Linux?

    Once tired of these multiple Vista Home crashes that I decided to install Linux (OpenSuse). Although a capable OS, I need some windows software and want to restore Vista on this machine. I have the system restore partition, but when I try to run it, it gives me an error. Apparently Windows no longer recognizes the MBR as it has been recreated by GRUB.

    I don't have a Windows Installer disk, just the installation of system restore (F11).

    Is there a bootable utility I can get to delete the Linux partitions, recreate the C: drive * and * difficulty the MBR? After that, I think I can use the system restore.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Hello!

    I think for the moment that you are not able to restore your previous version of Windows or you created the before recovery disk?

    I put t know what phone you have but all Toshiba notebook, they will be delivered with Vista without a recovery disk, but you can create one yourself. After you start the laptop the first time, you get the following message:
    + Important INFORMATION +.

    + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
    + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
    + HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)
    + and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.

    + Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the +.
    + Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer +.
    + Gets severely damaged.

    But now it s late to create the recovery disk and use the disk recovery HARD works, you must run the factory settings. This means that you can install your own version of Windows and then you start the drive HARD Toshiba Recovery function.

    Sorry mate, but the only way I see at the moment is to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    If you have the recovery disk, you can restore your Windows version or let's say the factory settings.

    Thank you

    Hello

    After installing another OS, you can retrieve only Vista if you start from the Toshiba Recovery disk and install the content. There is no disk HARD recovery option more, it means that the HARD drive recovery partition will not help you.
    In addition the Windows RE partition has nothing to do with Toshiba, it s a Vista feature.

    Then boot from the Toshiba recovery disc and will respond to factory settings! ;)

  • Activation of Windows Vista after replacing the hard drive

    I'm unable to activate windows after having my hard drive replaced. The portable station to my Windows Vista Home installed school, when my computer was originally Windows Vista Business. When I try to use Windows Activation, all options tells me that my product key is not valid for Windows Vista Home Edition. However, the steps to find a phone number to call for the activation require me to enter a product key, and then find the phone number from there. Because I can not clear the checkpoint, I can activate Windows or find a phone number to call. My computer has been purchased through my school, so I don't have a Windows Vista Business install disc, it automatically installs through the recovery disks. I could back up everything and then use the recovery disks, but I was wondering if there was another way to use the product key, I have, or to communicate with Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hello

    the product key you have is for Vista Business, not the House

    without a product key for home which must be provided by your school or purchased by you (no longer sold) will not be activated

    as you bought the computer and operating through your school system, these are the people to talk about this

    and if they provided you with recovery disks when you bought originally, they are used to boot from to reinstall the original operating system

  • Windows Vista is installed on my recovery partition need help for this relocation.

    I have an acer extensa 5620, the labtob supplied with Windows Vista already installed. I ended up having to have my computer repaired because it became somehow infected by viruses a friend who I thought was well knowledged in computers, cleaned the virus or so I thought, and replaces Windows Vista with Windows XP I was not asking or giving permission for that to happen. Now, I came to know that Windows XP is not genuine a software which makes sense because I kept getting virus despite the fact that I have several systems antivirus on my computer and to make things worse, I'm sure I have a browser hijack. I tried to find a way, he made the switch to return to Vista because I liked it, but another friend told me I should stored it on my recovery partition. I don't know that much about computers if anyone can help me to find it and tell me step by step to correctly and safely to reinstall Windows Vista because I'm also fairly certain that bad software is whats allowing these viruses. Help, please!

    http://support.Acer.com/

    Contact Acer for the EXACT way to do.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11, Acer Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the computer repair option
