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.

    1 Yes there is.

    You can use all the W7 x 64 drivers and software of this model except the audio.

    DO NOT USE ALL DOWNLOADS OF BIOS OR FIRMWARE FROM THIS LINK

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=5278311

    Audio: Accept the agreement. Download and install the second on the list (W7 x 64)

    2. you can no longer make a W8 recovery disk, because you deleted the recovery partition.

    If you want to reinstall W8, you can try this...

    Upload this W8 OEM ISO file from the link below.

    https://docs.Google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit?PLI=1

    Then use this tool to make the downloaded ISO file on a key USB 4 GB or DVD bootable.

    The W8 product key encrypted in the BIOS should fill the W8 installation and automatically activate.

  • Need your Help_Reformat diskless resettlement and the recovery partition deleted

    Hello.

    Please kindly help me to reformat my laptop G4 2014. Unfortunately I have no recovery disk and my recovery partition is already deleted.

    Thanks in advance for the help that you can give her.

    Just as I said, the web document, I provided the link for you to give options that are available to you.

    You or someone else with access to your laptop made some decisions aware, perhaps unfortunate not to create a recovery media and removal of the recovery partition.

    These decisions lead to choices that can be found on the web document that I you provided a link to.  An alternative is to buy a DVD of installation of Microsoft in the operating system of your choice.

  • 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?

  • HP Mini 110-3730NR, recovery partition deleted

    November 10, 2011

    I bought a HP Mini 110-3730NR laptop a few months back and I started to tinker a bit with it. I downloaded this software called CCleaner and I didn't know what disk wipe was (Yes, stupid me) well anyway, I accidentally erased my recovery partitions and all other files in the drive with it. It's a Windows 7 laptop with no. place to imput a CD. Is it possible to reverse what I've done without having to pay the $ 40.00 dollars more to get a backup thumbdrive? And could I may return it to the store because my warrany expires in September 2012? Please, it is perhaps one of the worst days of my life in more ways than one. Please, have some good news for me.

    Sincerely,
    Trisatan

    Hi, Trisatan:

    I'm sorry to say you are out of luck, and there is nothing you can do.

    If the store will resume, lucky you.

    If not, you can buy a set of recovery disks (if HP even them - I don't see that they do) and a DVD USB external drive to install with.

    Otherwise, you will need to purchase a full OEM or retail version of Windows 7.

  • Where Firefox put the bookmarks deleted after you delete them?

    After I delete a bookmark, I never see it in the folder bin later. It seems that it is just completely removed from my computer. Is this true?

    He disappears.

    If you delete the wrong bookmark, you can use the Undo feature in the library window to restore the bookmark until Firefox is closed. In addition, Firefox stores 10 days of bookmark backups, which can be restored if you already closed Firefox before you realize that you need a deleted bookmark.

    A backup is not a clone. You have cloned partition to a USB bootable for her to work.

    The HP Backup & Recovery Manager does not copy the recovery partition, even if you back up the entire hard drive.

    Here is a reference for the HP Recovery Manager manual.

    I just bought a place 8 Pro 5855. I did a recovery USB disk. I was wondering if there is a way to remove the recovery partition so that I can retrieve this internal storage space. I could try something like EaseUS or MiniTool, but I was wondering if there was another way that I wasn't aware of. Is there a reason why I should not delete the recovery partition? Thank you!

    This is how I did it:

    1. run Diskpart (from Run or CMD prompt), don't worry he'll ask the elevation to Admin

    2. type: select disk 0 (main SSD)

    3. type: list of partition (to see the available partitions)

    4. type: select the partition 6 (my recovery partition, yours may be different)

    5. type: delete partition replacement (deletes the partition 6)

    6. type: select partition 5 (my Windows, to the area to recover partition deleted)

    7. type: extend (retrieves the space)

    8. type: exit

    It worked for me on the DV8P 5830.
