Restore using the recovery disks on Inspiron 15 3521 supplied with Windows 8 Pro. Question on the recovery partition.

I created by the user recovery disks.  I created them the day I got the computer and he made three of them.  My brother has deleted my recovery partition just now.  My question is, if I resumed my Inspiron 15 3521 using three recovery disks that I created, be it recreate the recovery partition in the process?   I just need an answer to this question, not responses indicating that, if I have the disks, I don't need the recovery partition, why would I want the recovery partition if I have the drive, etc.  I would like to just a simple answer to the question.  If I use the recovery discs, it will recreate the partition recovery with all the info, she was in it when I got to the computer?  Once the recovery is completed from disks, will be that recovery partition be there as the day I got the computer, so if I wanted to (I don't want to, but I'm just a question) I could still create the recovery of her discs?  Basically, the computer will be exactly as it was the day I got it home, recover partition and everything?  Or, it will restore the computer to the new plant, but not to re-create the recovery partition with everything she had in it the day I got it?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it will be if you select the correct option.

See these videos:

Recovery of factory - "deletes all data and resets the Partitions.

Updating of the factory - "Only restores the System Partition and keep other Partition content".

It might be good for you to ask a Windows OS DVD 8.0/8.1 just in case the recovery media works however.

  • my computer crashed and restored using the system recovery disk. I saved all the files using a .fbw format. I can't read. What should I do?

    My computer crashed while updating. It's a double 4 year old HP desktop processor. I could get into the repair screen, but nothing would be useful. I backed up data (115 GB) using the tools available on a drive hard usb. They are under the folder MINWIN and meet 31 different files. All I get is the demand to put in the disc. I copied the last file on DVD, but it will not read it. All other recovery programs say there is no backup file.

    Hello

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop now?

    2 have you tried to reinstall the operating system?
    3. what program did you use to create a backup?
    4. do you get an error code or error message?

    According toOberwald, it seems that fbw files are generated by HP, not Vista backup tool. I suggest you to read the following article to restore files from Microsoft.

    Backup and restore: frequently asked questions:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions

    If you are not able to boot to the desktop, then I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:
    Start in safe mode and then try to run the restoration of the system to a point before you install the update and check if the problem persists.
    Step 1: Start in SafeMode in Windows 7:

    Step 2: System Restore:

    Method 2:

    If you used a third-party program, and then try to restore using the same program and check that it works.

  • Trouble installing EL Capitan. Drive uses the GUID partition scheme

    Hello world

    I am installing an SSD on a Mac book pro 2011. I had been using the separate (Samsung ssd 830 256 GB) ssd (OS not installed) drive on my computer windows yet. I have created an El Capitan installation on a USB drive, swapped the hard drive on SSDS. I open at startup disk utility, erased the drive samsung with format: extended OSX journaled.

    Then returned to install El Capitan, but the Samsung SSD is grayed out and when I click it, it says "this disc is not use the GUID partition table scheme." Use disk utility to change the partition scheme. Select the drive, click the partition tab, select the volume configuration and then click options"

    However when I return to the disk utility, then select Samsung SSD, the partition tab is grayed out and cannot be selected.

    I don't know how to proceed. I would greatly appreciate any help

    Thank you

  • How can I read or use the unallocated Partition?

    My external hard drive has two partitions. We're "Healthy (primary partition)", the other is "unallocated".

    I can see health as a disc but not the unallocated partition. How can I read or use the unallocated Partition?

    When I right click on the partition menu popup are faded/not usable.

    You can create a partition in the unallocated in disk management space.

    Right-click on the unallocated space and create a partition.

    If you have a partition on the disk using all the space you need to set as GPT instead of MBR.  Windows will not accept a partition of about 2 GB max on a game of MBR disk.

    Hi Lawren,

    Thank you for your update on the issue.

    In this case, you may need to format the entire disk, clean the partitions and reinstall new windows as suggested before. However, I suggest you to contact local support for the backup of your data from hard disk partitions.

  • New computer with Windows 7 Pro installed - also came with disks to Windows 8 Pro - what I lose everything?

    I recently bought a new computer. It was announced to come with Windows 7 Pro and Windows 8 Pro. Since the announcement, I assumed that it would be implemented for a dual-boot (something that I have never made or used it before).

    In another section of this community, I have posted a question, "what happens first – the chicken or the Egg," asking if I would like to transfer my data and applications before that upgrade to Windows 8 or after. I received responses almost half a dozen all recommend that I transferred my files prior to upgrade. With the new software of practice by hand and using a cable standard CAT5, I transferred all my files, including data and most of my applications, my old computer to the new computer. The transfer takes about six hours and I had about an hour of work later to install my pst, BOINC, Malwarebytes, etc..

    I decided that today would be the day and I would upgrade to Windows 8. There are three disks to:

    1. the claims & recovery of pilots

    2. system recovery disk for operating

    3 supplemental Recovery Disc

    However, when reading the attached brochure, there is a warning very clear that if I use these discs, I lose all my apps and data and will have to start from scratch. In many previous editions of Windows, I remember using upgrade disks. Recovery disks were what I did when I first installed the new computer.

    So, I ask, this is the only way I can achieve this? Am I condemned to throw seven hours of work? Y there is a place, less painful alternatives?

    Thank you

    Steve

    Unfortunately, this is how the work of recovery discs, they do not operate like retail disk that will give you the ability to dual boot.

    Your options are limited.

  • Is Photoshop CS5, which I am currently using with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, also compatible with OS 64-bit Windows 10?

    Hello

    Currently, I use Photoshop CS5 with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit operating system.  I love the CS5 and need not upgrade to CC products.  I also think to buy a new PC with Windows 10 64-bit OS.  What is my Photoshop CS5 works with Windows 10?

    In addition, if CS5 is compatible with Win 10, must I first uninstall CS5 on my current computer before you install on the new machine, or can I just use my CS5 disk to install directly on the new PC with Win 10?

    Thank you

    Richard

    No need to uninstall CS 5 old machine. it is very very important to turn off activation in the menu helps to record the number of activations.

    All individual applications can be activated on 2 machines. Regarding the number of activations for more details, you can check with the help of Adobe once and get confirmation.

    Hmm, what about compatibility... cannot say it is completely compatible, but you can give a try. most of the cases, it works fine, but we cannot guarantee or say how it will work smoothly or can be installed on Windows 10 without any problem.

    If you face any problems with the installation disc, you can download at the bottom of the link:

  • Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

    Upgrade/license transfer

    I have purchase Windows 7 business plan and upgrade my Vista Business retail version to Windows 7 Pro.  Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

    If you use the license professional Vista as the operating system with a Windows 7 Pro upgrade license then no, you can't continue with Business.

    If you use a copy of the licence of right (standard retail) Windows 7 Pro then Yes, you can reuse the company to upgrade XP.

    Upgrade license replaces the license qualify you for the upgrade license.  That's why the price is reduced from the price of a copy of the full license.  In this case, a license of Windows 7 Upgrade binding Vista Business license to the Windows 7 Pro license and operating permits would be free not to use it elsewhere.

    How install Windows 7 Pro has no importance.  If you use an installation upgrade or new installation method, what matters is the license of Windows 7, to level or standard (full).

    Buy a copy of the full license of Windows 7 Pro to do what you are suggesting.

  • Problem connecting to the Buffalo TeraStation with Windows 7 Pro

    Our network has a server running Win2K AD files.  We have added a Buffalo TeraStation TS - X 2. BTA/R5 for more than a year to complete our storage.  Since that time, we had computers, Windows 2000, Windows XP Pro and Windows Vista Pro, and trendy Home and works very well with the Buffalo TeraStation.  Recently, we have replaced Windows 2000-based computers with Windows 7 Pro computers.  Everything works fine - except that they do not connect to the TeraStation.  I can ping the TeraStation.  I can see the TeraStation.  But when I click on the TeraStation to access folders and files, I get an error as follows: "the folder. \\TS-XLFAA is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.  The user name is not found. "All the other workstations access the TeraStation very well, because they always have.  I can't find a solution to this problem.  I tried setting the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LmCompatibilityLevel' value to 1 and changed "network security: LAN Manager authentication level" to"send LM and NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated". as suggested by others, but it didn't work.  Any ideas?  I have several Windows 7 Pro computers that cannot access the TeraStation storage.  Help!  Thank you...

    Browsing through the posts, I found something that worked.  It was suggested to disable the use of IPv6 in network properties and use the ip address of the NAS instead of the server name.  I opened windows Explorer and typed in the address like this: \\192.168.1.11\ and the server was available immediately... Thanks CODY!

    Hi Stephanie M.

    If your version of Design Premium CS4 for Windows run on a 32 bit OS, then I don't think that it is running in Windows 10. There are a few cases of people install with the 64 bit version of CS4 Design Premium, however. See this thread: Re: CS4 and Windows 10?
