Recovery partition back after creating discs?

• Format HARD drive, delete the recovery partition and recover with disc

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite C660D-17F and want to format my HDD, remove the recovery partition and recover the preinstalled Windows 7 and other software. I don't want to keep my own data, which are all stored already, I just want to be sure I can safely restore preinstalled stuff. I have a few questions that I need help to clear up before I go ahead.

  Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition? If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?

  I found [this post | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/items/faq/71] which explains the recovery process. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that? It will restore the OS and the software for the backup of dvd drive? Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?

  Added SIDENOTE:
  I actually prefer to be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I'm after. Or is there a way?

  Sorry, I know that was a long post, but I want to be sure of what will happen BEFORE I'll and spoil things! :) If you got this far, thanks for reading. :)

  Hello

  I will try to offer help. ;)

  Yes. Saved on recovery discs recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, specific Toshiba and utility tools and some additional software.
  > If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?
  Preinstalled Toshiba Recovery creator make recovery disc that includes the recovery image only. It has nothing to do with your personal data.
  > I found this post that explains the process of recovery. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that?
  After that, you should use recovery disks created for the recovery image installation.
  > Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?
  When you use the recovery disc for your laptop recovery image installation will have factory settings which include the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. To be honest I do not understand why you do not want to have this recovery image on the HARD drive. This allows the installation of recovery using recovery of HARD drive option. But of course you can delete it later for more free space on your HARD drive. Installation image that you can always use created for recovery discs-recovery DVDs.

• HP Envy 15 notebook PC: recovery Partition HP after the passage of Win8.1 to win 10

  I've recently updated to Win8.1 (original factory-installed) to win 10.

  Everything seems to work very well (a few bugs here and there, but nothing major).

  My question is about the factory recovery partition

  I studied the forums and it seems that if I used Recovery Manager to recover, he would recover back to Win8.1, not the current installation of Win10

  (1) can you please confirm that the HP recovery partition / recovery manager will recover only to Win8.1 and has been upgraded not so?

  (2) how can I get a recovery to redeem to Win 10?

  -is the Recovery Manager / partition "stretchy"?

  -Should I do new media recovery (should I use Recovery Manager, or who would do only Win8.1 media)?

  - or should I use https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

  (3) every time I do the recovery media Win10, so I can delete my restore partition? (using Recovery Manager option to do this)

  My computer is still under warranty

  Thank you

  Chris

  1. Once installed the old partition recovery W8-W10 no longer works without some fiddling with serious.

  2A. There is recovery for W10 built into the operating system, type 'Settings' in the search bar, and then view the settings, then click on "Recovery" tab, this is where you can do a reset for W10.

  More information about reinitialization, see link below

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-10/repair-recovery

  2B. the recovery partition can be updated to W10 but requires a lot of geek who can't be mentioned here and definitely not worth the time and effort.

  2 c. a Yes make your recovery from usb disks using this tool of creation of media.

  3. Yes

  You already have your recovery W8 media while W8 was still installed?

• Recovery partition - delete after you retrieve DSK

  I managed to make a backup of the system and a set of recovery disks. Can I still drive D: Lenovo now, I did that? I'd like to reclaim space if possible. How could get rid of it and get space on the C drive.

  Puzzled by Lenovo documentation - he says the recovery disk is hidden, but I can see, 12 GB or D: Yes

  In addition, it would be wise save the SWTOOLS file to another location. This folder has all the drivers Windows 7 for the X220t so if you are forced to re - install windows you can get up and going with minimum hassle, with regard to the functions of you obtaining laptop back.

  Windows 7 for the X220t drivers are installed by Microsoft and Intel. The SWTOOLS folder contains the additional Lenovo drivers which are not required by Windows.

• Vista with XP Downgrade and none of the recovery disks - how to create recovery discs?

  Interesting - I also bought the Windows Vista Business (sticker that says so on the bottom of the T61) with the pre-load downgrade to Windows XP Professional.

  Recovery of product, I created discs, that the OP was advised, but did not notice any indication during the process of creating it was for Windows XP Professional which was preinstalled, the Windows Vista Professional (which is allowed and has a sticker on the bottom of the T61), or both. Anyone know?

  And if it's only for XP, so how can I get Windows Vista Business media to which the licence applies?

  
  

• PC laptop Pavilion 15: recovery partition

  Is it necessary to keep the recovery partition, once I created a recovery image on a disc? If so, then why so that we cannot use this space on hard drive, even if we have a backup and if not, then tell me how to merge this disk space with other partitions so that I could use this space?

  Hello

  No and Yes, it's up to you

  1 no, after succeed to create a recovery series (or USB) disk, you can delete the recovery partition to get more space on your HARD drive.

  2. Yes, it will be very convenient when you need on the flight just in case you do not find these discs.

  Again, it is to you.

  Kind regards.

• Rebuild the recovery partition

  Hi all

  Since my macbook pro in construction since a backup time machine, I have no recovery partition. Not sure if the recovery of time machine is the cause, or that the guy who has this laptop (work) in front of me he erased accidentally.

  I tried to use the script of "Recovery Partition creator" on several occasions, but it did not work. It becomes very urgent to get the recovery as soon as I'm running into several issues that require me to have the partition:

  • Disk errors on my internal drive that requires a correction
  • Need to encrypt my hard drive
  • Try to resize my disk internal, so I can install El Captain next to my current OS X I just need to test before you lose access to the work of the features (earlier version cannot be installed as he does not like our proxy for example).

  Happy to go all the way to 'clean up' and then to retrieve locks of tiem machine, but no idea how to do things right :-(

  Any ideas?

  I feel that you are not the first user or 'owner' of the MBP.  If this is the case, I suggest the following:

  Back up all your data.

  Erase the HARD drive and start in the recovery of the Internet (OPTION-COMMAND-R) which will connect you to the Apple servers.  Following the directions, you will be able to erase the HARD drive and install the original OSX the MBP came with.  The recovery partition must be created.  (I guess that the MBP is a 2011 late model or newer).

  Install a more recent OSX (as appropriate).

  Reinstall your user data.

  Ciao.

• Recovery partition (drive D) disappeared. (HP DV4T-1600)

  Hello..

  I just formatted to make original by default using 4 recovery disks (burned with recovery run, of course)

  If I kind of got hurt, it's now successfully on setting EXCEPT initial changes to the default recovery partition.

  Before it is formatted D drive or partition D is designated as HP Recovery, but NOW it is called as HP tools.

  Space recovery (OR course, TOOLS HP) is only 99.9 MB (this was 60 GB or something BEFORE the factory setting)

  because I remember that the C drive space has 210 or something (TOTAL 298 GB) but now it's just together 297 GB.

  

  Also, when I access the Recovery Manager, it says that I don't have any recovery partition.

  

  Sorry, this might seem confusing, but

  Does anyone know how 'set' or 'reappear' recovery partition D so that I can use for recovery?

  It is a part of the specification of my lap top

  HP DV4T-1600

  T4300 2.10 GHz

  Product #: VP181AV

  HARD drive: 298 GB (total)

  A response would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I think that your system came with 320 GB hard drive. Doing the recovery using the recovery kit, the recovery partition was not created. The HP Tools partition is a partition that will help you diagnoze the system hardware without having to start Windows.

  If you want to retrieve the recovery partition, you must re-run the recovery process by using the disks again. However, I would say you ignore the recovery parition and start using the system.

• How can I create discs for my recovery to reinstall partition Vista?

  I have a Dell Studio 540 I bought in 2009 which came with Vista 64-bit pre-installed. I do not have the installation discs for Vista but rather has a recovery partition (D). I don't create discs of backup at the time.

  Now my hard drive is about to crash and burn (I get warnings "imminent failure" of Vista and Dell diagnostics). I bought a new hard drive, but I want to know how to reinstall Vista on the new disk once it has replaced my failure one.

  I am creating recovery/OS reinstall disks, but I'm not finding a way. I do not seem to have any Dell backup software for this do and no Datasafe or backup Dell. (My hard drive has been previously cleaned and reinstalled Vista a couple of years ago, when my video card has failed.) Perhaps these apps has reduced to nothing at this point, I don't know.)

  I still have the recovery folder on my (still) works hard drive and also copied on an external hard drive.

  Can someone tell me how to create installation disks so I can reinstall Vista on my new hard drive?

  You have a few options:

  Update product key

  This requires a license to upgrade. In general, you should your old version of Windows installed. There are workaround solutions posted especially for users in the same situation as you, who must replace hard drives, etc. and only have the media upgrade (as most of the systems are medialess now unfortunately). Others require an absolute clean install after formatting with the likes of DBAN to get rid of Virus/Malware infections and do not have the old media. Without these solutions of workaround users would not be able to activate.

  First of all, you can buy the upgrade and use the Digital River to install .iso is useless to make a double (Vista 7) installation. The Digital River .iso image file will allow you to start in the media you created him (USB or DVD - USB recommended). Look at my wiki A clean install of Windows 7, you need to install Windows 7 but do not enter the product key and select ignore when you are prompted to enter the product key.

  The upgrade product key will not directly work with the activation of product however if you follow the instructions in step 11 d - a small solution to workaround using slmgr in the command prompt it will activate without a problem allowing a clean install (maximum performance). As you're installing on an eligible system workaround is perfectly valid and you will be always correctly allowed. Again, it will be to save time sourcing your support Vista, reinstalling Vista/Upgrading to 7 and prevent yield loss of the upgrade from Vista to 7.

  OEM product key

  You can also consider using the generator systems or the version of Windows 7 OEM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=-1&isNodeId=1&Description=windows+7&x=26&y=15

  Its essentially the same as the commercial, but cheaper version and allows a clean install. The only downside is that it is related to the computer, it is first installed on that is it is not transferable.

  Retail product key

  You can also purchase the full retail version, but it is the most expensive choice.

• safe to remove the recovery partition after having made discs?

  As the title suggests, made the recovery discs and want to use the hard disk space that is absorbed by the recovery partition.  Is it safe to delete them or will the lack of it on the hard drive cause problems with the recovery discs if ever needed?

  (G5135uk desktop HP just lowered from 7 to XP PC)

  In your case of removal of Windows 7 as the operating system and using Windows XP, I would say it is safe.  If Windows 7 was used, I would recommend to keep in tact.  If the recovery disks are used, it must put the computer back to factory new, even with the Parition of recovery went.

• After restoring to a new drive, I need to create a recovery partition?

  I have successfully restored a backup time machine on a new drive.  The recovery of the old system drive partition is also got copied over, or I have to manually re-create on the new drive?

  I've got Yosemite, mid 2011 iMac, and the new drive is an SSD.

  I got my answer: a restore partition is also created.

  To see this, you must first activate the debug mode in disk utility:

  http://Macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/Qt/enable-disk-utilitys-Debug-menu.htm

  Then, open utility disk, go to 'debug'-> 'display each partition '.

  Under the new drive, you will see the initially hidden recovery partition.

• (Pavilion dv2000 vista) How to create discs of the comand recovery console

  What is the name of the executable file and directory for the command to create the recovery partition recovery DVD?  I am unable to get to the desktop to create, and the recovery console has been unable to reformat the hard drive.  The way I see it I have only 3 choices:

  1 make the recovery partition disks, replace the disk and run recovery on the new hard drive.

  2. use linux software to copy the recovery on a "mega" flash drive partition, replace the hard drive, use linux software to copy the recovery on the new hard drive partition and run the system recovery then.

  3. pay $ 15 to have HP send me the recovery disks.

  Thanks in advance.

  I tried and there is no directory ' / Windows/creator "in my recovery partition.  I thought maybe the file and directory got renamed or moved to templates later (this paricular is dv2911us).  I have also sought among the various directories and have not found any executable "CD Creator.exe; This is not to say there isn't, I just have not seen in my seaching... There are a lot of directories.

  Edit:

  Just received this response from HP email help (the most useful of all the methods of "contact us" HP):

  Jim, thank you for writing back to us.

  Jim, to keep you informed, the recovery disk have a period of 90 days from the date of purchase of laptop computer for his creation. However, if you try to create after the period of such, you may experience problems. The same rule applies in the case of new hard drive.

  I'm afraid that there is no console command to launch the creation of recovery disks. Even if the recovery partition seems to be fully functional, it is in the hard drive only. Executable files named 'CD creator.exe' is just an image.

  There are third party available for the recovery disc software, however, ultimately they would create problems as the hard drive failed.

  Given the current situation, we recommend that you replace the hard drive and buy the new recovery drive.

  I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

  Also I find it a bit funny that last night when I called technical support, the lady that I spoke to said the new HDD would cost 400some dollars!  I think this is the cost that it's based on the price for the operating system and other software included on the disc.  Anyway, then I asked him what it would cost to just send it and make them repair the laptop, and she said it would be $ 300some! LOL it took everything I had not to start not to laugh.  Then, when I told her thanks for the help, and that she would have answered all my questions, she tried to sell me a new laptop! I didn't say thank you and she tried once again! I want to say Holy shit! It's just a hard drive of freeking! in any case I'm glad I took the time to email them and get a response from someone who knew what they were doing.

  Guess that just means it's tempting step 2 (see the original post).
