Restore system disk

I recently tried to do a restore of the system on my Dell inspiron n5010 and deleted somehow everything. I need a restore disk on the system, or in a very smart way to solve this problem without one. I'm no longer under warranty so I get a free, even if my laptop is not coming with a... upsets a bit me which does not come with every purchase or at least get a system restore free disk even if they are not under warranty. Where can I get one? or is there a way for me to go in ths trouble another way?

Ive hit f12, but all the tests come back normal, can I just fill out any type of 'solution' or restore in my computer... I'm just ran around in circles!

Thanks in advance for the help!

  • System Restore Startup disk

    Hello: I have a registry problem complicated that I can't get an answer to, and I would like to create a System Restore Startup disk. How can I do this? I am running windows xp (I think that sp3) on a lenovo thinkpad t61.

    I can't open the *.exe files and think it's a registry problem. I tried several ways to solve this problem and have not been able to do.

    I'm running a lenovo thinkpad t61.

    I am referring to the recovery disc.

    You don't say what you tried, but EXE File Association Doug Knox fix usually does the trick: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

    It would be interesting to analyze both of these free applications:
    MalwareBytes Anti-Malware
    SUPERAntiSpyware

    It would be wise to say away from generic 'system restore boot floppies', unless you are sure of what you are doing.  The Thinkpad T61 should have associated with the application of "Rescue and recovery" of Lenovo in a hidden hard drive partition.  See the Thinkpad T61 Service and troubleshooting guide, Chapter 4: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67885.

    Rather than provide a disk recovery or a Windows disc with your computer, Lenovo provides simpler methods to accomplish the tasks usually associated with these discs. The files and programs for these alternative methods are on your hard drive, which avoids having to find a misplaced drive and problems related to the use of an incorrect version of the disc.

    The full backup of all files and programs that Lenovo preinstalled on your computer is located in a hidden protected area, or a partition of the hard drive. Although that hidden in the partition backups consume space hard disk. Therefore, during the audit of the capacity of the hard drive under Windows, you might note that the full capacity of the drive seems to be smaller than expected. This discrepancy is explained by the content of the hidden partition.

  • Windows complete PC Restore on Vista Home Basic, how to create a system disk image

    In the menu system for Vista Home Basic Recovery Options, there is an option to make a "Windows complete PC Restore". The description of this option says "restore your entire server or personal computer from a backup image. Well, sounds wonderful. My problem is to find the software to create a backup image of my personal computer first. I tried to create an image of my system disk by looking at the "Backup and restore" software that comes with Vista Home Basic. I couldn't find something that was talking about creating an "image" of my system drive. Only the options to back up the disks. Microsoft use the terms 'backup' and 'image' fairly loosely or as interchangeable terms? Im a little confused. My ultimate goal is to create a disk image of my system can be restored very quickly in the menu options of Vista Home Basic System Recovery.

    I guess I'll answer my own question. It seems that Vista Home Basics to create an image of the system has been paralyzed. OK, so I'll look using free Microsoft imagex utility then.

  • Using HP restore - error Non system disk media

    Recently, I received a HP desktop computer that had a bad hard drive. I buy a Seagate 2 TB disk and I also bought the HP recovery media to restore the machine to factory default.

    From the start until the recovery media, I was presented with the option to restore the default settings, walking on the GUI informs me that it is format the drive and reinstall applications, he invites to indicate the disc #2 as expected and ends so ask for a reboot. Date that the system fails to boot with an error message "Non-system disk".

    I started the system with a linux live CD and checked the disk through fdisk to see if it was something simple. I noticed that the first partition is not bootable, and the second partition was. I have enabled the flag of boot on the first partition, without change. I have advanced and reconfigured the drive with fdisk, partition table creation and formatting of the first partition, and then rerun the recovery disks. No change.

    I found a few entries discussing the disks seagate and HP machines, as well as a firmware fix, but I see nothing announces a 2 TB as a problem drive.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your suggestions, but I fear that they have been without result, and I have some additional information for others with similar problems.

    (1) in the disc of recovery there is that something called a Menu "manufacturers", he is now CTRL in the CD is loading, pressing the BACKSPACE key at the right time. This menu has several options, including wiping them out the hard drive and the 'DMI system info' copy of disc 1.

    I followed a few guides to use this menu to try to get my new hard drive, or the spare WD 40 GB working, all without success.

    Thus, this menu has not solved my problem, but to know there lead me to this bit of information.

    (2) HP participates in a process called "Tattoo" the MOBO or HD. This process essentially makes the only function of system with the original equipment, including the hard drive. According to 2 people separated from the HP support, I spoke with, the only way to get this system running and upward would be to buy a hard drive directly from HP. I couldn't find enough documentation on this to be useful anywhere, apart from the realization that it has NOTHING to do with the hardware compatibility and from my point of view, everything about HP, forcing consumers to buy directly from them, thus hindering competition.

    Now for the rest of my rants:

    Booting from a temporary copy of Win 7 allowed me to update the Firmware of the HARD drive, but the Seagate firmware update are listed says "no update firmware of your player"(not exact verbage). "» I was able to get the old HD to boot, unstable but it started and I was able to do a restore system to it and got the update of the BIOS installed, but once when I tried upgrading the firmware on Seagate it said was not an update of my drive. I confirmed the new model number and this is the only one listed.

    Must the drive be formatted for the update of the firmware to take? That doesn't seem like it should be...

    I'll try to copy it to the partition on the new disk of tonight, but honestly, I feel that I lost my money with restoring HP discs, so I'll just go buy a retail copy of Windows 7 upgrade and use it as the operating system.

    Very pleased with this HP product.

  • Satellite A50 - message from system disk insert after replacing HARD drive

    Hello

    I have an old A50 and the HARD drive comes with it's very slow and cracking now, so I'm trying to replace it with a new HDD - Hitachi travelstar 7200 RPM of 60 GB, with ATA interface.

    I took the old HDD and put the new, then on A50 and press F12, and then insert the CD recovery and restored (installation) everything on the new HARD drive. Once it's done, I rebooted A50, but what I got is then a black screen with the message "Insert system disk..." Does anyone know what I did wrong? I got tired of it several times, but I got the same results...

    Thank you.

    I think that Akuma is right.

    On FAT32 and Windows 98 should define the active partition, and then it should work.
    Then download a MS-DOS boot disk and burn it to a CD as Akuma has suggested. I tried it and it works :)
    It is quite easy with Nero.

    Good luck!

  • I would like to replace my system disk.  Have a Mac Pro 2010, 4 drive bays

    My system disk is full and I can't put more on it 320.  It is a Mac Pro 2010, with 4-Bay.  I could put a larger capacity drive in one of the other berries, but I don't know how to transfer the info on the old drive to the new.  If I use Migration Asst, it will keep the permissions for music software, etc.?

    Also, I have a Mac Pro 2010 and moved my system from one disk to another. In my case, I moved from 10.7.5 on a drive of 1 GB to 1 Bay for a 512 GB SSD on a map of drive SATA PCIe 2.0 6-Gb/s.

    There are probably several ways to do what you think. However, as I have not used the Apple Migration Assistant personally, I don't think I can answer your question with absolute certainty if it will keep your permissions for music software and so will leave it to someone else who has experience with its use.

    But I can gives you two ways that may be useful: One is if you already want to back up your system using Apple Time Machine drive, you can restore the backup to a new larger drive. The other would be to buy a program to copy such as SuperDuper! ($28) ou Carbon Copy clone ($40) and they can clone your drive system on a new drive. I've built a number of backup copies (10.7.5, 10.8, 10.10) for different purposes (development, experimentation, downsizing to re - purpose a 1 or 2 GB drive for something else...) With a Mac Pro and 4 Bay, you have a lot of flexibility.

    Hope that helps.

  • System Disk Image recovery and system recovery discs discs

    These terms are very confusing.

    I had 3 HP computers to office over the past 15 years and have always comes to an ERD but my luck could escape and I'm going to need one of them.

    However, I'm confused.  I thought that as HP comes with a drive D: original Image, it would be enough.

    I make records of recovery or system disk Image?  Are they the same?  My HP Advisor on this computer again I do "system recovery discs!

    I would really like someone explain (in novice language) which mean the above and what I need to do?

    I appreciate so much people in the help forums, as I learned more from them than books I have.

    Twinkie3

    Twinkie3

    Hello Twinkie3, I suggest making the game to restore HP Recovery disks.  Even if you have the recovery restore D: hard disk partition, it may be damaged or if the hard drive fails and needs to be replaced, you would not be able to access the recovery partition.

    If you have to replace the hard drive, you can only insert disc 1 of the the recovery set and put the system back as it was when shipped. Without these records, you would need to try to acquire at HP for a cost to you, and after a while, they are not available.

    The set of recovery disks cannot be done once and only be used to restore your particular system.

    Normally, it takes 3 DVD discs but can take longer depending on the size of the restore partition.

    The HP advisor don't constantly remind important you to these disk since it's a step in maintaining your system over time.

  • Need help: invalid system disk error

    I must have left my laptop on the week last with only a small battery backup as victory, that I woke up in the morning, he had absolutely no power.  When I plugged the laptop and I tried to reboot it wasn't going to the normal microsoft vista home page.

    Instead of this turned back or the system bios and on the top of the screen, he said.  Invalid system disk error.  I pressed ESC and immediately thereafter loaded up normally.  Once on the page of windows, he showed he was about 8 windows updates.  (this every way - when I left my computer on automatic update of windows, running and starting to update my computer.  Since I only had a remaining battery minimum computer must have lost all power during the update.  Because update has not been completely loaded my computer now has a problem starting).

    Whenever I turn on computer, need me the black screen with the comment of the system disk error.  While hitting escape when this screen is easy to do and makes windows vista starts normally - I'd rather have a completely normal vista installation program.

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    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.

  • Restore system to a Pavilion 304w disc

    Hello, I am renovating a HP Pavilion 304w for the original owner so that her daughter can have its own computer for school.    Apparently the system disk that came with it is long gone.     I spent time and money on modernization of this machine, I took the RAM from 128 to 512 and put a better CD/RW drive, as well as a cleaning of the case and the material.

    The hard drive was a mess, he had more viruses and garbage you could ever cleaning mentions not years of use.    I used "KILLDISK" to wipe the drive hard so that a clean installation is possible.   I didn't know how old this machine had, it had XP "service Pack 1" I don't personally have a windows disk installation this old.    Is there any solution apart from buying a new OS for this machine?         There is a product key # on the side of the case which is still valid, but like I said this is for the version "service pack 1".

    Ron

    You can perform a second series just in case. I read the previous posts on the forums where the original manufacturers recovery disks do not work properly.

    Another thing that I would recommend you do is to create a disk image and restore system that lets you easily restore your system in case of system failure, such as the hard disk crash, malicious code, or upgrade to a larger hard drive.
