• I didt create a disk recovery for windows 7 Home premium, and I lost the original and the recovery partition

  I didt create a disk recovery for windows 7 Home premium and I lost the original and the recovery partition, but I have still the product key and the same laptop that was originally installed with windows 7 copy and now im turning my laptop with a fake copy, how to restore the original copy of windows 7?

  Hello

  You have certainly reduced your options

  The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

  But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

  As you have licensed preinstalled OEM (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee, if they still have them available.

  Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

  See you soon.

• Cannot start Windows 10 (Partition exists in the startup disk)

  Right, I accept all first I did something stupid - I resized a partition. I resized my Mac OSX Partition but not changed the Windows/BOOTCAMP Partition. My MBP has no DVD/CDROM drive. OK with that of the road, I have browsed these forums for centuries and can not find how to re - add the partition to the boot sequence. All files etc are in the score, and it is an option in 'Start Up' disc. It is not just show when booting with the down option. Orders/Info added on similar topics:

• HP Pavilion Notebook g7: Re-create the recovery on D drive partition

  I have a HP Pavilion g7, which originally had Windows 7.  I recently upgraded to Windows 10. However, the recovery partition (D has still the Windows 7)  Question: Can I just remove the Windows 7 file and re-create the partition recovery with Windows 10 or is it more involved.

  morris81

  Basically, the answer is no.

  Why?

  Because installed HP recovery Partition contains a custom Windows OEM compressed HP image and the firmware on the same PC is written to be able to start in this partition (using F11) to this recovery.

  Your own partition does NOT contain this file because there is no way to get at HP.

  Even in this case, the F11 process wouldn't work, even if you haven't created your own partition.

  However... If you want the means to do a full system recovery, then consider using a third-party product known as Macrium Reflect the image of the installation.

  Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.
  
  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
  
  My experience is that SIR, when you use the option of Compression high, typically allows to compress the image file recorded at about 50% of the space USED in the OS partition.  This means that if you have a 40GB and 80GB OS partition is used, MR must only about 20 GB to store the image file.
  
  I use all the time and it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make the backup of the image and at the same time or less do a restore.

  In addition, MR has the ability to add a recovery Boot Menu entry.  This then allows you to boot into Windows re, and then you can use it to do a restore - when you cannot start Windows!
  
  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  Good luck

• The new use of recovery of Windows XP with my q Satellite Pro P300-19?

  I just bought a Satellite Pro P300-19 q with Vista pre-installed. I want to use Windows XP Professional instead and understand that I must use the DVD titled "Product development - Microsoft Windows XP Professional" supplied with the machine. To do this, however, the provided information sheet is not very useful when he says only: «you will have to load this...» »

  My question is: How do I do it from running the disc in the DVD player, just reveals several files which none will get me nowhere?

  Any help would be welcome.

  The recovery of Windows XP product disc contains an image of a Windows XP installation ready with all the drivers and tools.

  Before installing Windows XP, you should burn the Vista recovery disk because if you want to restore Windows Vista you will need this disc. So, you can restore the computer back to wherever it was when you originally received.
  So far as the recovery image (Vista) is only stored on the HARD drive and so you can burn it to a DVD:
  Click on the Toshiba recovery disc creator and insert a blank DVD. Then follow the instructions on the screen. The recovery disk will be created.
  You are now able to boot from this DVD and install Vista with all the drivers and tools (factory settings).

  When you reinstall Windows with a recovery disk, the HARD disk will be reformatted and all data will be lost. This means that as other partitions so backup your data first.

  If you are using Vista it s also able to restore the factory since the HARD drive settings. Therefore, the files are stored in the folder HDDRecovery.
  So, if you want to put your mobile PC, press F8. Then you can see the menu and there advanced boot options, select repair your computer.
  Follow the instructions on the screen and the laptop will also reinstall.
  But don't forget, this (HARD disk recovery) feature is only available with Vista, not XP.

  So if you understand this and burned the Vista recovery disk, you can start to install Windows XP.
  Boot from the XP Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The installation of Windows XP does not have a lot of time and this procedure is similar to Vista. After installation you also have an installation with all drivers and Toshiba tools but with Windows XP of course.
  This is the content of the Windows XP Recovery disk.

• Replacing the hard drive HP G62-450SA model / recovery. Windows 7

  Hello

  Last week my laptop started running very slowly, and after a few tests, it seems that the hard drive is on its way.

  I phoned to HP supports, however is out of warranty I wasn't able to get a real support, but advised him to watch the online support pages to back up my files, create a file recovery on a usb device and then it would be as simple as taking on the old hard drive, put in the new, and following the instructions to recover my system and files.

  So after these tips, I've created:

  -A recovery image USB on a Virgin USB key, using the Recovery Manager

  -A backup on an external hard drive using the backup and restore

  -An image of the system by using the backup and restore.

  Then I replaced the hard drive.

  When I turned on the laptop all I get is a black screen that says "no boot device - insert the diskette and press any key".

  I have not all discs. I thought that was the point of creating the recovery image on the USB key? I insert the USB key, and it is not recognized.

  If at this point, I'm stuck. I'm not all boards because HP say they have to charge me.

  Please can anyone here tell me what to do next? What I need to buy recovery discs or is there a way I can install the new hard drive by using the above files?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You are welcome

  Another option, you can try would be to restore the system image you created - you can do the following.

  If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7.  Download the ISO relevant among the links below.

  Windows 7 32 bit

  Windows 7 64 bit

  You must use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn options) to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

  When creating, type following the ESC key as soon as you start the launch of the laptop Boot Menu, and then insert the rescue CD.  Select boot options (usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

  Connect the drive that contains the system image you have created and then follow method 3 below to reload the image on the new HARD drive.

• Recovery of Windows Vista Premium with no installation CD

  I had to reinstall completely portable my son after a number of virus caused his laptop Toshiba to failure, but the question I have is the fact that I don't have a installation CD any recovery or windows.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  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 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 repair option.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  IAM so frustrated I could cry! I took advantage of the free win 10 high grade in are not like him at all. I was told to create a partition of dualboot a victory to keep 10 on a second partition. When I returned to windows 7 all looked OK, so I removed windows 10 of the second partition. then I discovered that something was wrong with my windows 7 partition cause I couldn't get internet. then I tried to get my reinstallation disc to load on the other partition. It would not work. Now where before I was asked what osi I wanted to boot from, now I get a message at the start of the bios that says "no boot device." The Acer 5253 laptop comes with windows 7 already installed and no backup disk has been included. I could not a recovery disk because of Acer that I am out of warranty. Microsoft says they can help cause Acer is the owner of the license for the software, and I bought a Windows 7 reinstall the disk that does not, and I have now a laptop won't boot plu. Can anyone HELP! understand me what to do? I live on a very low fixed income and cannot afford to pay for the new software new ora computer. I just keep to myself kicking forever talked about trying 10 windows when I was very happy with windows 7. It seemed that it would be so easy to go back, but it has turned into a nightmare. Can anyone help?

  Hi John,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  It is regrettable that the laptop does not start and I can understand the inconvenience caused.

  Yes, you have the option to return to the previously installed operating system of Windows 10. However, it should be an upgrade of Windows 10 of any current operating system is. Once upgraded to Windows 10, you can return to the operating system already installed within 30 days from the date of upgrade to Windows 10. After 30 days, responsible for value PC files already installed OS is deleted automatically.

  As you have installed 10 Windows on a separate partition, the advice above applies.

  Let me ask you;

  • How have you deleted Windows 10 of the other partition?
  • When you are offered several operating systems to boot from, what all the options that you see?
  • Have you tried to start each partition one by one to ensure that we work?
  • You receive an error when trying to load the disc?

• Move from Vista to Windows 7 - partitions

  Hello!

  I just got my new Thinkpad SL500 at home - with Vista Home built in. I think to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, but I have to ask about partitions.

  There are 3 partitions on my hard drive:

  C: partition system "SW_Preload".

  Q: "Servicev003 system boot partition."

  S: recovery partition "Lenovo."

  I don't know that I can get rid off the coast to keep my Lenovo features intact while changing Win 7 (I've seen change, because the real change would be not an upgrade, but complete reinstall with deletion of the old system) partitions.

  Can I delete the partition q: "Servicev003?" Is - only used for Windows Vista or the only some features of Lenovo recovery? And the score of "Lenovo"?

  All drivers are already available for Windows 7 Lenovo utilities?

  Thank you for all advice.

  George

  Hello

  The Q score is to begin rescue and Recovery in case your partition C cannot start. Then you can restore your system to the image of the factory of the partition of S. The S partition will contain your Vista Home image, so it's not useful for you once you upgrade.

  First thing you can do is to generate these partitions recovery media. You can use R & R to do. You will get a bootable CD with R R & Q score and two DVDs of the partition of S containing Vista.

  Personally, I then removed the two partitions and installed Windows 7.  You can then use R & R to generate a new image of the system on a DVD. I recommend waiting until you have all you apps installed and the system set up. If you need to recover, then you start from the R & R CD and recover from the DVD.

  I believe that it is possible to keep the partition Q but the boot sector will be replaced by Windows 7 so it needs to be restored to allow to boot in S. As I have never done this, maybe someone else can help.

  The only way to get a full range of partitions is to use an image of Lenovo. I do not think that Lenovo offers these?

  Personally I prefer for other alternatives of R & R like Acronis True Image, but the principle is the same, a bootable CD, then the image of an operating system on another media such as DVD or a network drive.

  10 + years that I've never had to do a full restore so the convenience of having R & R available on the blue button does not for me outweighed the loss of space on a small SSD (80 GB).

• Model number:-n010TX: recovery of windows media 8

  Mr President.

  I had my HP laptop pavilion in November 2013. It came with 8 pre-installed windows. I upgraded Windows 8.1 by March, 2014 and it worked fine for a few weeks, after which, the laptop has detected a hardware failure. I had a HP technician install a pirated windows 8 on my pc and it also gave me a series of DVDs of recovery for windows 8 to be used on a HP or compaq PC.

  It is a set of 3 DVDs 'system recovery' and 1 DVD "valorization of the pilot. The problem starts when I insert the first DVD of system recovery. He didn't autolay not. I checked with control panel and made sure that the "Use AutoPlay for all media and devices" option is checked. But autopsies shows two options: -.

  1 open the folder to view the files, and

  2. don't do anything.

  Now, on the DVD it says: "insert the disk and follow the instructions on the screen. But there is no on-screen instructions.

  I opened the folder and it contains a lot of files with names that I don't understand. Please let me know how I can get the DVD to play automatically.

  Thank you

• Increases the size of the "HDD Recovery" folder on the partition "D".

  I am the owner of laptop Toshiba Satellite, recently, I noticed that my D: drive (unused) is saturated and after careful analysis I realized that the "HDDRecovery" file size is > 200 GB.

  I don't want to remove the file or remove image files inside that I need the functionality of recovery, but I have not a clue how to handle the recovery process to decrease the volume.

  Do you have an idea how this issue?

  Wojtek

  Hello

  It seems strange to me that the size of the HDD recovery folder would increase up to 200 GB continuously. Probably for laptop computer stores files backup automatically in this folder, but I m not very well why

  However, I recommend you to create a recovery media (recovery disk) using the Toshiba
  Recovery media creator (this software pre-installed on the Toshiba laptop).

  The use of disk recovery (or USB key recovery) would fix the laptop back to the factory and even if settings you should remove the folder in HARD drive recovery or the entire partition, this partition, and these files would be created again.

  Hope that this information could be useful for you.
