Recovery of E135 Windows 8. Be sure to create the recovery key. Is it possible to restore Windows 8?
Hi all!
I recently got an E135 came with Windows preloaded 8. Really, I did not like the new interface, so I installed Windows 7 above. Unfortunately I forgot to create a recovery key using this method. Now I would like to reset on Windows 8, but I have no way to force the computer to access the recovery partition.
The method I've tried:
- F11 at startup gives me the ability to recover Windows 7 from a USB key. Which is weird, because the original operating system was Windows 8
- Rescue and recovery and OneKey times give me the ability to save, but not to restore it from the hidden partition.
Info:
Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E135 335972G
Managment of disk shows a HARD drive divided into: 2 x the recovery partition, 1 partition system parition and EFI x normal.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
I lost access to the partition recovery and the recovery of www.lenovorecovery.com disks ordererd.
It is an option.
(I have however failed to use them yet.) Since the edge E135 has no driver disk, I did burn on usb and disk images. For my problem, see here.)

Well, your only option is to get the Windows 7 Home Premium disc by following the instructions that I described in the following article:

Then follow the instructions to retrieve reinstall them:
But before you do, make sure that you get the Windows 7 Professional product key if you need to reapply in the future:
Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

I have Setup with Bootcamp Windows 8 and then upgrade to Windows 8.1, and then upgrade to Windows 10.
When I want to restart the training camp that I got the error message: "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.
According to this page, it is because of Windows recovery partitions added during the 8 to 8.1 migration and 8.1 to 10.

I tried to delete the Windows Recovery 2 partitions with disk utility tools but the button "-" to remove them were leaving is disabled.
Is it a good idea to remove these partitions? If yes how?
1. What is the year/model of your Mac?
2. you are trying to install a new copy of the W10 or remove the existing installation?
3. do you have the W8 or installation/upgrade W8.1 had problems before the upgrade of the W10?

Backup in Windows XP Wizard allows no choice of drive to create the recovery disk
Backup Wizard requires a 3.5 floppy to create a system restore disk. When my system and many others have more 3.5 disks... How to solve?
Original title: windows xp absence of 3.5 diskettes and Backup Assistant
Hello JohnAdams2461,
You're right, that Windows XP requires a floppy drive to create the recovery disk.
Most newer systems do not have a floppy drive.View information in a previous thread with the same question.

Original title: ((Vista)) I can't install anything!
So, basically, I have a Windows Vista. I'm using Google Chrome, but that doesn't really count because I tried on all browsers. When I try to download something, it comes up with something like that... "Windows cannot find"C:\Users\User\Downloads\ ((name of the program here))". Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. "This has nothing to do with a name of typing correctly. I'm downloading at the wrong place? If Yes, where can I download it?

I have a laptop Acer 4720 with valid product key of Vista Home Premium OEMact and COA label, my problem is the HD is broken and I need to install the new HD and then reinstall windows, but I have not all disks (was on the recovery partition which is good), so what are my options? Can I use any family Vista Edition installation disc Premium and then activate my license key?
Hi again,
You use the product key on your computer case with the Installation DVD Microsoft process.
As I advised alreasdy, recovery from other manufacturers discs are of no use for this
The only thing is that you may need to make a phone Activation, do it this way and not use auto invite, but hold the line for a person to physically respond to your call.
I would advise not to download an ISO of Vista on the Internet, you will find that they are pirated and malicious programs containing versions changed.
The DVDs are not available from Microsoft.
When I informed 'borrow' that's what I meant. a friend, acquantance workplace, etc.
Or if you know someone with the same model of Acer and Vista operating system, you might try their recovery disks.
See you soon.

I have a Windows Vista laptop. I usually have no problem printing over the network to my University Library. Then I bought a new Kodak printer to my apartment which I also configured to print wireless. For about a day, I could print from these two networks, depends on the location. Now, I can't print at the library. I am able to see all printers but when I try to 'Connect', it says "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Make sure you typed the name correctly and that you are connected to the network. "Word, printers of the University Library no longer appear in the list you choose to print. What should I do?
Hello Lauren,
Please take a look at this Microsoft article on "networked printer troubleshooting:I suggest to disable all security software, including firewalls, you have probably enabled or installed and then try to print again to see if that makes a difference:
