recovery partition options

Hi all I just got my new hp envy 15 and I love so far.

I was about to replicate my old hdd straight on this one, but decided to slow down and look for alternatives, due in part to the fact it is win8.

My desire has a 1 TB harddrive that has 2 partitions... 1 / 2 and C: / D: Recovery.

My old hdd is also a 1 TB with 2 partition drive... 1 / 2 and C: / D: which is my drive "Archie".

I have a few questions about what is the best way to proceed from here...

If I can reconfigure my new hard drive to have 3 partitions BUT re letter to the "recovery" partition for example 1 / c: = c: 2 / D: would still be my archives and G: would become the new drive letter for my recovery partition.

I'd better create a recovery USB and then replicating my player current EG: 1 / C: = C: and D would still be my archives.

With option 2 what size USB would be needed for the recovery media? 4G, 8G or 16G?

I'm also surprised by the lack of sticker oem on the background of this laptop as in other versions of windows I had, where the (instant) requirement of a 'recovery' media to have a copy of 'work' of Win8 must be able to relocate at some point in the future.

Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Crewzar,

You are right when you say that Microsoft has made some changes to the WET to the point Windows 8.1.

Here is a 'For Dummies' article that highlights the most important changes.    11 major changes in windows 8.1

Please take note of the section on the WET is weakened to the point Windows 8.1.  After reading the article, you can import your old files.

When I checked on a windows 8.1 and opened the wet, the first screen informed me that it could be done from Windows 7.  You need to put your original drive in an external enclosure and connect it with a USB cable, or copy it to an existing external drive.

Once which was finished, WET should be able to transfer your files from outside on the internal drive of the laptop.

Please let me know how it works for you.

  • Reassignment of recovery partition option

    I recently bought a desire Phoeniox 800-050ea.   Product HP said that it "Optional SRS the recovery partition", which means that I can move the SSD disk 3 TB in my opinion.    I would do this rather than lose 10% of the SSD.   However, I can't find any HP instructions for that matter, but I guess as it is an advertised feature, it can be reached without the use of third party like Partition Magic software.  Can someone point me in the right direction please?

    Create the recovery media. Store it somewhere safe and use the 10% of what you have chosen. I would like to use a flash drive to create the media. more reliable than the DVD. I have both and also an image backup of my operating system on an external drive.

    Dokie!

    PS I think that HP gives you only a chance to create the back to factory media. You save 10% might not be worth?

  • Remove recovery partition satellite A200 - option "Erase the hard drive"?

    Hi people,

    I have a new Satlellite A200 and it won't start. Tried to run the recovery CD, but no joy.
    Could someone please tell me, if I chose

    'Clear the hard disk' then 'delete all data and partitions of the hard disk '.

    This would also remove the computer's internal recovery partition?

    I have the recovery CD, but as I said, they do not work and I was wondering if the compensation completely HARD drive then runs the disk recovery partition recovery help.

    Sorry if this is a fundamental question for you guys! I read through hundreds of threads, but could not find a definitive answer.

    If you mean the partition hidden WinRE Vista then; YES

    But don t worry buddy. The Toshiba Vista recovery CD would be to format the whole HARD drive and erase all partitions, but it creates the hidden WinRE Vista back to the HARD disk partition.

    Madam, Sir, I have to perform a factory reset on my HP Probook 5330 m. The other suggestions in this forum (activation recovery partition or by using the F11 key) doesn't seem to work. I guess because there is no partition recovery on this laptop?

  • 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.

  • How to manage the recovery Partitions?

    Have a Mac Pro 5.1, 2010. Facing a somewhat complicated storage situation, here are the details:

    Pair of SSD drives on a PCI card for my boot volume

    Pair of disks spinning for my Time Machine

    2 discs of rotation 1 t, one that contains my old 10.6.8 System (just in case, got a LOT of Eudora mail in there, never know when I might need to go scrounging), a reader, I'll use later to a windows partion and a clone of my boot volume which now contains a box stock install of 10.11.5. FWIW, this is a drive Bay 1 I read some say it is better to have his windows running of this Bay.

    In utility disk or system report I can see what is really where. When I have the startup key option, I see 2 separate recovery partitions, one for 10.11.5, for 10.9.4. As I said, unless someone can point me to some use, I have no idea where those residing in fact.

    My goal is to eliminate the 10.9.4 partion and keep the 10.11.5 a. The question is how can I do to fix this? Is AAND possible to actually see what is happening with my storage... like exacly what is the case with regard to these recovery partitions?

    Use the Terminal and enter one of the commands:

    sudo diskutil list

    sudo diskutil info-all

    and check with your password. The first displays a list in the configuration terminal. The second will give you much more that you can use.

    Just click in this thread on your account name and you will see the list of all threads that are created.

    I saw your ad on the other and you're pretty confused with this. On laptops Toshiba, there is no recovery partition and recovery image is recorded on the second partition in the file called HDDRecovery. Do not change anything here and you will be able to use the HARD drive recovery facility when you want using F8 and repair my computer option.

    iTunes and QuickTime are not Toshiba applications and if you have problems with it you should contact Apple and their support. They have designed and tested clean products and they should be able to help.

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellie Pro L830 - 11G, running Windows 7

    I would like to restore it to the original settings.
    I tried various things, but so far no luck.

It gives so many 1.46 GB AND free space as 1.46 GB

    So, I don't know if that means he's here and I can access it somehow, or if it is just an empty disk but with no real possibility to recover original parameters.

    Hello

    This 1, 4 GB partition is created by Windows and has nothing to do with the created by Toshiba recovery partition where is backup recovery image. Toshiba recovery image has certainly more than 6 GB I think.

    On Win7 machines you can start the image recovery installation using F8 at startup. When you do this, you will have the menu boot advanced options and select the option to fix my computer. Detailed information on the recovery image installation you will find in the user manuals document s or on follow Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

    Please note: disk image installation HARD recovery works if your phone has only factory.
    If you have changed something that he probably does not work. Under change something, I mean own installation operating system or changes in structure of HARD disk partitions.

  • Diagram of default recovery partition Toshiba Satellite L875D

    My Satellite L875D has the following recovery Partitions:

    450 MB
    450 MB
    9.36 GB

    I guess that the 9.36 GB partition is used to create the recovery CD, but what are the two 450MO partitions? Are related to Windows 8/8.1 or something created by Toshiba for their software?

    The operating system that is installed at the time of purchase was Windows 8 and has since been upgraded to Windows 8. 1

    I created 2 sets of recovery CD, is it safe to delete the partition used to create so I can recover disk space?

    I guess that smaller partitions are used by the Windows System.
    Windows 8/8.1 supports an auto repair and restore option and I guess the partitions contains these files to repair.

  • Satellite L850 - how to replace a HARD disk recovery partition?

    Hello.

    Toshiba laptop Satellite L850. PSKDGA-02Y012. The original HARD drive has failed in his colleagues even mobile, so we replaced the two HARD drive after you have created a recovery USB. When used to restore the operating system to original status of OOB.
    That has worked and portable runs much, but now I want to BACK the recovery partition (now only on the USB I think) for the new HARD drive.

    Simple to shrink the disk HARD C: (partition 2) on the HARD disk, but then how to transfer twhats on the USB (USB recovery stick) back on the HARD drive?

    Thanks for any help.

    Karim...

    Hello karim

    When you buy the notebook you will get it with preinstalled operating system (recovery image). Original recovery image is saved on the HARD disk on the recovery partition.
    Each owner of the laptop has option to make the backup recovery image and create recovery media. It could be the DVD or USB support. You can do this by using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool.
    This tool will create bootable recovery media that can be used for the installation of original image recovery if there is problem with the installation of image disk HARD recovery or when the drive is defective and must be replaced.

    Where the HARD drive is faulty and should be replaced or the owner of the laptop to upgrade HARD drive, you can install original image created using recovery recovery media (USB). After installing recovery image, you will have the same situation as for the first boot after the purchase of the laptop. With other words notebook will have factory settings again.

    In this case original recovery image is already copied onto the new HARD drive and you will also be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery. There is therefore no reason to copy a recovery on HARD drive media.
    Please note: installation of HARD drive recovery works with the factory only settings.

    If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite P750 (PSAY1A) - How update the recovery partition?

    Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

    My Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022) the factory settings has 132 update of Windows that should be applied during the first pass. I had to run Windows update 4 times before she shows "up-to-date". Not to mention drivers Toshiba as well.

    I also want to include some applications (Microsoft Office and other software and utilities)...
    Overall, I spent 2 days just to bring it t the State I want in.
    But I can't just access the recovery Partition (of the less any of this!)

    If you look at disk management, the recovery Partition is not a Volume name and that the file system is empty. If I right click on the recovery partition... all I see is "Help" Option

    I tried to assign a drive by using Diskpart letter... but it doesn't show much.
    My guess is that it is GBT/EUFI.

    Does anyone have experience updating the recovery Partition?

    > Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

    What do you mean by update recovery partition?
    The recovery partition should NOT be touched!

    In which case you'd change the partition, the HARD drive recovery process could not be started!

    Probably, you have not understood the meaning of such a HARD drive recovery procedure.
    It's the option provided by Toshiba and the recovery of HARD drive allows you to establish the notebook to factory settings; on the same State as at the first day of the purchase.
