• Destructive recovery - hidden restore Partition - Vista 32-bit

  Hello

  I need to do a clean install of vista but have lost all of the disks that came with the computer. How do I access the 'Hidden recovery Partition"(AKA a"destructive recovery") to do the clean install of vista?

  Hello

  If the disks provided with the computer, normally you don't have a recovery Partition.

  Makers you give one or the other.

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  IF you have a recovery partition:

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc. according to the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• I had to do a destructive recovery. Try to reinstall the bookmarks but the 8.0 new OS I installed does not ORGANIZE the FAVORITES so I can't import the. JSON file.

  I'm MISSING 'To ORGANIZE the BOOKMARKS' AND 'LIBRARY' IN 8.0, so I am obviously unable to follow the instructions given. I have Windows XP, not that it is important. I have the. JSON file stored in a hard disk external. Every website I've seen so far says to go to favorite bookmarks / organise and import from there, but there is NO organize bookmarks that I found in 8.0 so I have no idea how to do to import this file to install my old favorites.

  In addition, I don't have whatever it is labelled library either. AND I don't have any Add - ons that can be a problem.

  Organize bookmarks was renamed to display all bookmarks in the version of Firefox 4.0.

  Bookmarks > show all bookmarks or {Ctrl + Shift + B}

  BTW, you will need to restore this backup file JSON, import the bookmarks HTML files that have been exported from a web browser.

• Compaq Presario sr1720 nx goes directly to the recovery & mouse & kyboard is unresponsive

  The compaq Presario sr1720nx is directly to the recovery even if I hit the F6 key or the escape key start-up of the pc to the top.  Once on the recovery screen, there are three choices that are not accessible because neither the keyboard nor the mouse respond.

  I may be the culprit of the problem.  I looked on the internet to perform a recovery without a disk.  The You tube video, said to use the F6 key at startup to access the recovery console.  This proved to be unsuccessful.  When the compaq starts, it says to hit the F8 key to start the recovery program.  None of them worked.

  So, being a non tech person, I went to programs > Accessories > microsoft tools > reset to an earlier date > and reset the start to the recovery console.  My goal was to access the recovery console to perform a destructive recovery.  This has been for us hopefully correct the Compaq, which had not been used for a long time.

  Before this action, there is no problem with the mouse or the keyboard.

  The end result was the computer starts up straight on the recovery console provides three choices.  It also provides choice to hit the return key to put an end to the valuation or escape to return to the normal operating system of windows XP.

  Initially, I tried to download the recovery disc for the Compaq back to ground zero.

  If all goes well, it still may be my option.  If anyone could be useful to a naive individual, it would be much appreciated.  As the saying goes, a little knowledge is a very dangerous thing.

  Distinguished regards, Mike

  I solved the problem

  I unplugged the computer, mouse and keyboard; WAITED several minutes and plugged the above items back in.  After you enable the Compaq, he went directly to the window of recovery.  Now, the keyboard has been active to select option 3 - the full recovery of the C: drive.  Of course, asked me to restart the computer to complete the process.

  The windows XP program has restarted after the computer has finished the recovery process.

  Starting with a blank slate, I was able to name the computer, the selection of the internet service provider, etc. in the usual way.

  I add this note anyone suffer a similar situation.

  I appreciate the response.

  Distinguished regards, Mike

• Ok recovery disks to reinstall?

  I use win7 HP, 32-bit. Impossible to update. Get error 80072EFE. Was advised to reinstall. Is not a DVD, but have two recovery disks that I made when I downloaded win7 (had Vista). These recovery disks will work instead of the Win7 DVD on a reinstall?

  Yes.

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation option" and formatting the hard drive section of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

  NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is also a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery"). Contact the manufacturer's assistance team.

  After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

• can not update xp or IE after system recovery

  I did a system restore on my computer XP 32 bit. I have not checked to see if he had 1 SP installed, but I had a disc for SP 2 and manually installed SP 3.
  I can't install WIndows updates, due to the fact that I need of IE 7 or higher. IE 7 won't install because I guess he needs updates of some sort? How can I solve this problem?

  I tried to install Service Pack 1, but it wouldn't work because I installed SP 3.

  Thank you for your help

  4. after recovery, your office is always show files that were there before the recovery?

  Describe the very next step you take after you have completed the recovery. The files are still there, but some are missing such as 2007 Microsoft Office and other programs, but my documents are still there

  This means that is non-destructive recovery of Compaq and have without doubt both times. I would say that a re - install destructive is in order and follow my previous instructions that were for a clean install. Note that this will destroy the data so if your data is important you must save it first, ideally twice in two separate devices. If you are worried about data loss, I suggest putting in the hands of a professional, but do not expect to take any responsibility for your data. If someone is able, they may not cover all the possibilities (e.g., disk failure) and we your data must be your responsibility.

  In the light of your PC is one that may require the patch from HP/Compaq AMD I have revised my instructions for you below...

  Print what you want from this Web site that you can access on the PC hit after the new installation. After the installation you're using IE6 that this site does not work with!

  Get these downloads (click the link) and have them on a CD or a USB key (ignore warnings from Microsoft gives you need to be an IT pro or using Windows updates in place)

  SP2 (only if your recovery is a "no service pack at all" XP or is a Media Center XP)

  SP3 (only if your recovery is pre - SP3)

  AMD patch (only if your recovery is pre - SP3)

  IE8 (do not leave Microsoft direct you to a later version, IE8 is as good as it gets for XP)

  Make sure you have your antivirus solutions and handy greater security as (CD/download).

  • Back up your data
  • Disconnect from the internet (remove the cable Ethernet or a wireless device?)
  • Disconnect all devices except the screen, keyboard and mouse.
  • Make the new facility (the driver installation should not be necessary for a resumption of Compaq)
  • Remove Norton (use the deletion tool that rocks of XP has suggested)
  • Install SP2 (only if there is no service pack at all after the recovery, or it is XP Media Center)
  • Install the patch from HP/Compaq AMD (if recovery is pre - SP3)
  • Install SP3 (if recovery is pre - SP3)
  • Install IE8
  • Install antivirus/security
  • To connect to the internet
  • Update antivirus/security
  • Windows Update
  • Install remaining desired hardware/software
  • Restore your data

  Do not use Windows updates or driver "detectives" update/install drivers.

  Do not try to use Windows Update, until SP3 is installed.

  Do not install IE8 or any other software as long as you are at SP3.

  Make sure to use restore points in case something goes 'shaped pear.

• Can you perform a destructive restore using a disc to upgrade to windows 7 when you run windows xp pro?

  Hello! I want to perform a destructive restore, but I lost my WIindows XP pro installation CD. At the same time, I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and I was wondering if I can just buy a Windows 7 upgrade disk and took the opportunity to do a full restore, I want to erase everything from my computer and put everything to factory settings, as if she was completely new.

  What do you mean exactly by "destructive recovery? I take from your post, it means that you want to format the system drive and perform a new installation of Windows 7. In other words, start with a clean hard drive.

  If this is correct, then YES; Indeed, during the upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 there is no actual "upgrade path" as the upgrade requires a custom (clean) installation of Windows 7.

  (see: I am running Windows XP on my PC.) Buy Windows 7 upgrade version?)
   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/upgrading-to-Windows-7-frequently-asked-questions

  Before the upgrade, if you haven't already done so, it is highly recommended to run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to make sure that your computer is capable of running Windows 7. Windows 7 was designed to use the latest technology and equipment and many older machines are not able to run the new operating system.

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

  You should also visit the windows Compatibility Center 7 to determine if all of the devices (printers, scanners, cameras, etc.) and the programs on your computer are compatible with Windows 7. For printers and other devices, you will need the name of the manufacturer and exact model number.

  Windows 7 Compatibility Center
   http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  The upgrade to Windows 7 will also require that you will find and install the Windows 7 drivers (32-bit or 64-bit based on what you are upgrading to) for all you hardware and devices. This includes the BIOS (if any), the motherboard (chipset), audio, video, LAN, mouse and keyboard, printers, scanners, cameras, etc. In the case of printers, scanners and devices, you also need the software associated with your version of Windows 7 in addition to new drivers.

  Creation of new drivers is the manufacturer of the device; in other words the computer manufacturer or the manufacturer of material or actual device. If your computer is a great brand (Dell, HP, etc) visit of the machine to support the site and search for Windows 7 drivers for your specific computer model. In the case of printers and others, visit the support from their manufacturer, still looking for new Windows 7 drivers for your specific camera model. Google is your friend.

  Before you begin the upgrade process, you must back up all your files and data, including pictures, movies, music, contact lists and anything else that you do not want to lose; Yet once, this upgrade requires the disk formatted as either hard erase everything on the drive. Ideally, this backup should be on external media such as an external hard drive or a (of a sufficient diameter) flash drive.

• STOP: c0000221 {Bad Image Checksum}. The image rpcrt.dll is possibly corrupt and recovery XP says error during the extraction process. Details of error: path not found___

  My friend turned on their laptop packard Bell recently and had the following problem. Windows XP screen loads but is then followed by a blue screen that says STOP: c0000221 {Bad Image Checksum}. The image rpcrt.dll is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not match the checksum calculated.

  I can't the laptop to go further. I have accessed the Microsoft recovery Panel and try a non-destructive recovery as there are some precious photos that need backup. However, when you select 'no profile' to begin the recovery, I get the message:

  Error during the extraction process. Details of error: path not found

  I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to this sort of thing, but if someone can provide step by step help giving rise to lose photos, I'd be willing to give it a try. I also have XP Home Edition disk that came with the laptop but has never been opened. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

  You hear your message said something about rpcrt4.dll?  It is important to relay the exact message you see.

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  You use some CD to access this Panel of Microsoft recovery where this "no profile" option is?  I don't know what all this means if it isn't some CD shipped with your system, in which case, I would use it for a coaster instead of something to fix your system.

  If the c:\windows\system32\rpcrt4.dll file is missing or afflicted, you do not start in the last good known Configuration.

  You also will not start in any kind of Mode safe no more.

  Even if you could boot mode safe, you would find that sfc/scannow does not work in Mode without failure in all cases (never).  If you try it, you'll see a message like this:

  Windows file protection could not initiate a scan of protected system files.

  The specific error code is 0x000006ba [the RPC server is unavailable.].

  Failed to start the RPC mode server safe either.

  I can't recreate your error exactly, but it is easy to replace the rpcrt4.dll file.  Looks like you have a working CD drive, so put yourself a Hiren boot CD and when you started on this, you can copy your precious files to a USB device for safety.

  There should be a backup copy of rpcrt4.dll already on your system, here or here:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

  You need to rename or replace the rpcrt4.dll file which is in c:\windows\system32 and replace it with one you will find the backup copies.

  There should be a backup copy of rpcrt4.dll already on your system, here or here:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

  When you get the Hiren's CD's, you can use to replace the missing or suspicious file.  If you need help with that, first get the Hiren's boot CD made and start over, then we can continue.

  Do you have a Hiren BootCD you can download here:

  http://www.hirensbootcd.NET/

  On the left, click on download, scroll down, choose the latest version, the download link is a little hard to see.  It is at the bottom of the page, above the drop for older versions and looks like this (click this component to download the ZIP file):

  Direct HTTP mirror + Torrent, Torrent Magnet

  Click the "Live HTTP Mirror" link to start the download and save the ZIP file on your desktop of somewhere that you can remember.

  The ZIP file is large, so the download will take probably some time to complete.  Then unzip the download to extract the Hirens.BootCD.ISO file that will be used to create your new bootable CD.

  Create a bootable CD. ISO file is not the same as simply copying the. File ISO onto a blank CD.  You must use software that includes how to burn a. ISO to a CD to create a bootable CD.

  File ZIP the Hiren is the file BurnToCD.cmd that you can double-click to launch it.  The BurnToCD.cmd will use the file BurnCDCC.exe to burn the. ISO file onto a blank CD using your existing CD burner.  You can also use your own burning software as long as your software is able to create a bootable CD. ISO file.  More modern burning programs can create a bootable CD. ISO image.  Create a CD from an ISO image bootable is not the same as just the file on a CD burning.

  If you need a simple and CD burning, this is a free software popular software:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your new bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.

  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When starting on the Hiren's CD, you will see a menu of options.  Choose Mini XP.  It will appear while Windows is loading and you will be presented with a desktop computer that has the look and feel of the interface of Windows Explorer, you are already accustomed to using.

  Using the Mini XP, you can access Internet, maneuvering around your system, search for files, copy files, replace the files and run the scans for malware, edit the text files (like the c:\boot.ini) etc.

  There are dozens of free and useful tools included in the CD that can be used to repair your system or copy your important personal files on another device (like a USB device or an external drive) in the case where you just give up and decide to reinstall your XP (I hope that you will not make this decision)

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

  I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

• XP NOT work gateway recovery disk!

  I'm trying to reformat (I Win 7 RC and it is about to expire) with my Gateway System Recovery XP Media Center drive, and it does nothing. When I start and press 'R', it goes directly to the connection of Windows 7! I do not understand this... I used this drive on Gateway computers not a few months ago and it worked... but I can not with the computer, it was intended? WTF. When you look in my disk drive folder, it shows all the content on the disc, so the disk has to work. I have to start again and then reinstall Vista on, since it is a disk of Vista UPGRADE I have to start with XP, that is so crazy. Anyone know why the installation of recovery is not coming and can I reformat the drive in a different way? Thank you.

  You do not need to install winxp in order to use the upgrade to Vista, you simply boot from the Vista disc, start the clean install and insert the Windows XP disc when it complains.
  I don't know if it works with your recovery disk, however.

  Boot from your recovery disk would normally you have the opportunity to recover, how and which key press to perform a destructive recovery depends on the recovery disk creator (gateway)

• What happens when I run recovery disks in the computer?

  Original title: .vista

  I want to run my vista recovery disk, what actually happens when I do this.

  Hello

  When you run the manufacturer's recovery disk, it puts your computer / computer laptop back to factory settings. the new condition that you bought it in.

  All your data: pictures, music files, etc. must be backed up on an external hard drive before making a recovery, because they will be normally lost.

  All data updates to Windows, 3rd party programs, and that you have installed since your purchase of computer no longer the disk hard as the hard disk is normally wiped clean of everything during the recovery process.

  The above is called a destructive recovery.

  Some computer manufacturers also have the possibility of a non-destructive recovery, which stores programs and data in place.

  But, the data must be saved IN the MATTER.

  If your problem is so bad that you need to reinstall, a non-destructive recovery does not solve the problem of normally and most destructive recovery needs to be done

  See you soon.
