• Hidden restore partition...

  The original HD has the OS partition and the hidden restore partition.  Since then, I installed a larger hard drive and installed XP Pro (SP3).  I still have the original HD.  Is it possible to burn an image or a copy of the hidden partition on a CD or a DVD?  And if so, isn't the work of restoration of the original machine?

  Thank you

  Found a small free utility called EASEUS Partition Master 5.0.1 Home Edition. Did exactly what I wanted. Found the partition, a few clicks and then 'display '. Restarted and voila, the restoration of partition ready for burning.

• How to identify missing drivers and or access on E520 factory restore partition

  I just bought a red E520-1143CTO opportunity in new condition, from someone who has screwed up the operating system (Windows 7 Home Prem 64 there). Many pilots have disappeared and does not properly. The recovery partition is always there when I look in my computer, but when I reboot and press F11, I never get the possibility to access. There is no Lenovo software installed to create an ERD, and of course, he is not come with any software. Is it possible to access?

  I also have access to an another E520 is almost exactly the same (she just older i3 processor). I tried to create an ERD from it and use it on this computer, but it indicates the versions of Windows are not compatible or repair software is not compatible with this version.

  So I try to find out if there is another way to access this restore partition. I have installed an enterprise version of 32-bit Windows 7 Enterprise on this computer and I have most of the drivers installed and it seems to work very well. But I have three that have yellow exclaimation points:

  (1) system base unit

  (2) SM Bus controller

  (3) unknown Device

  I've been drivers downloaded from this site, but I can not can not know what drivers I need to clear this list. If oI seeks made restore factory default. If this isn't the case, I would like to know what drivers I need to clear this list. I want to look like everything new because I was going to give it to someone as a gift. I do not see that the prompts for the wifi button (does not work), volume and shine like the other machine. I would like to get all this work. I would like your suggestions.

  Try the system update?

  Current problem: whenever I try to boot Vista I get the same error during the vista loading screen.

  I tried the safe mode, the last correct log on the thing, and even a system restore disc that I downloaded from PC World.

  None of these online solutions have worked.

• I delete the hidden restore partition?

  Ive had a Toshiba Satellite laptop running XP 4.5 years and its great summer running.

  My grandmother got a Toshiba Satellite that is about 1.5 years with record better than mine. Its running Vista and its performance is pathetic. Liked a lot my laptop performs so much better and faster cela. I've restored the operating system. This is not enough.

  So now I want to install XP on the laptop using my recovery disk

  So first of all, I need to format the hard drive. When I hold the power button to power off, then zero holding, and put on I reached recovery utility. From there, I can choose Reset "out-of-box", or I can format it.

  My question is, if I choose the format, it will properly format the computer allowing me to run my recovery disk and reformatted it the hidden partition containing system restore information? I suppose not, but I would be sure

  Thank you
  Tim

  Hello

  As far as I know the recovery disc formats the entire HARD disk.

  This means that all data and all partitions will be erased from the HARD drive.
  After that, the recovery disk would begin a process that would create partitions (also the one hidden) that have been created as on the first day of purchase.

  Simply says that the laptop would be fixed to the factory settings.

• Recovery disk restore partitions as factory settings?

  My laptop is about 2 to 3 years of age and has 3 partitions, C, D and E as factory put in place.
  I found that the system (C) partition is now almost full and cannot be extended because the D drive is in the way to rehabilitate the part of drive E.

  Does anyone know if the hot spare will restore the partitions in the form of factory settings or y at - it an option to change the score put in place during installation?

  Hey Buddy

  Yes. As far as I know the Toshiba Recovery disk format the whole HARD drive and retrieves the laptop back to factory settings.
  This means that the whole HARD disk would have first formatted and all partitions would be deleted. Then the recovery disk creates the partitions again and installs the operating system and other things like tools and drivers.

• Creating a DVD from HP restore Partition of hard disk

  OK, let's go.  We have three computers in this House.   One is an HP 2004 775th with XP that was suggested be sent to pasture.   I agree to this.  My other computer is a HP Pavilion p6750f with Win 7 Home 2011.  Large computer and has no problem.  I want to keep this PC by business unit and buy a refurbished on ebay as a HP Compaq 8000 with Win 7 Pro 64 bit.  This should be Uncategorized at 10 for Microsoft Windows gives the OK.

  The majority of these 8000 HP on ebay have the disk hard 'original' wiped and reinstalled with new Windows 7 Pro 64-bit software.   Some say that the hard drive has the "restore disk partition hard rule."

  Now the big question.   With original Windows 7 Pro 64-bit clean wiped from the HD and a new install of Win. 7, I'll be able to make a DVD-restore/recovery Partition on the hard drive?

  That question seems to be is "I'll be able to make my own recovery DVDs?"  As shown in This DOCUMENT?  The answer is probably not.  Unless the previous owner includes the recovery of the purchase value.  These units are most likely end the lease to a company, which means that they are erased clean from any software that may have been installed.  The inclusion of an operating system is to facilitate the resale.

• Satellite C660 will not restore, partition seems OK

  Hello

  I received a Satellite C660 difficulty that not recover. Can I use F8 (or 0) to enter "REPAIR YOUR COMPUTER", but the screen goes all black. I booted from a Linux disk and partition 'Data' seems OK though I have no way to check all the files. What are my options? Is it possible to create discs of restoration of this State?

  Thank you
  Tim

  Options?
  I guess that you have not created the recovery disc in the past. Fix?

  Well, in that case try to access the recovery partition of HDD (using Linux?) and check if you can use the recovery image files to create recovery USB flash stick as described here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm

  Otherwise I think you have to order the recovery at Arvato disk in order to recover the laptop.
  Of course if you have the Microsoft windows installation media, you can use it to install the system too pilots could be downloaded from the Toshiba UE driver page

• 2000 laptop 365DX: need to restore but have a restore partition point or recovery.

  Hi guys. I have a laptop HP 2000-365DX with Windows 7 Home Premium.   Its so crowded and I need to restore back to original settings.  I had installed Ubuntu (partitioned) all the time and has been very stupid, because I deleted my partition recovery HP tools.  Now, I searched here on HP.com to order a recovery disc and apparently I can't find one for my specific model.  So what I have done is downloaded a file .iso Windows 7 Home Premium (with a good soul on these forums) and I need to download all the drivers for my laptop as well but HP is having some problems now so I can't download them (which is fine that I'm in no hurry).  So, that's all as far as my knowledge goes.  I have my Win7 disc and hopefully soon have my drivers disk.  What I do not know how, it's clear my computer to start from zero Setup Win7 again then all my drivers.  I read that DBAN (Darik Boot and Nuke) erases your hard drive clean, but that seems very extreme.  Looks like I would use to wipe my drive hard if I had to sell my laptop or to erase the evidence, but if that's my solution I'm cool with that.  So, really, I'm wandering what I should do now.  And I really re - install my drivers as well?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  You can delete all existing partitions on the HARD disk during installation, as follows.

  Start the installation.

  When you get to the screen 'What type on installation', choose the custom (Advanced) option, and then click drive options (Advanced).

  Here you can delete all existing partitions at a time by clicking on the partition to highlight it and then click Remove.

  A when you're finished, you'll have just one entry named not 'allocated space' - just proceed with the installation.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  For any problem with the help of the recovery Partition that has been copied to the hard disk by the computer manufacturer, you must contact them.

  This recovery process is the manufacturer, not Microsoft.

  ________________________________________________

  You never told us why you wanted to do a restore. If you had serious errors and the recovery process does not work, you will have hardware problems. BUT we're only guessing at this stage due to lack of information to help you.

  See you soon.

• End of life programs remove the D drive which is the system restore partition

  I am running Win Vista Home addition.  I downloaded and installed PowerPoint Viewer 2007.  Now, when I scan with Secunia I get a message that I have an end of life program, 2003 PPV, in my D drive system restore file.  How can I remove an obsolete program from drive D?

  Sorry, but it does not work.  Drive D is partition of the hard disk system restore.  I tried everything to get there, and that cannot be done.

  It may be worth mentioning that I ran a Windows search for files and folders looking for power pint Viewer 2003.  I've included the D drive in the search.  I got a recovery that the file is not found.

  I finally opted for another suggestion and Secunia to ignore this file.  Now, everything seems to be okay.

  Thanks for the suggestions which are appreciated regardless of the outcome.

• How to restore partition factory settings after installing Win 7 Professional and after having lost everything as a result.

  I have a netbook with a partition that has win7 starter installed.  I unfortunately poorly installed windows 7 Professional and now have nothing available which was originally on the computer.  Everything was wiped clean including my ability to use / access my wireless, ethernet controller, pci, etc..  I tried repeatedly to recover the partition back to factory settings, but it won't give me the option to select the partition.  I guess that's because they are all two Windows 7.  Can you help me get it back to windows 7 edition starter of the partition so I can restore all the factory settings and programs.  I haven't lost any information or files that I loaded win7professtional as soon as I turned it on.  I have restore points, images, etc.
