• Satellite P750 (PSAY1A) - How update the recovery partition?

  Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

  My Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022) the factory settings has 132 update of Windows that should be applied during the first pass. I had to run Windows update 4 times before she shows "up-to-date". Not to mention drivers Toshiba as well.

  I also want to include some applications (Microsoft Office and other software and utilities)...
  Overall, I spent 2 days just to bring it t the State I want in.
  But I can't just access the recovery Partition (of the less any of this!)

  If you look at disk management, the recovery Partition is not a Volume name and that the file system is empty. If I right click on the recovery partition... all I see is "Help" Option

  I tried to assign a drive by using Diskpart letter... but it doesn't show much.
  My guess is that it is GBT/EUFI.

  Does anyone have experience updating the recovery Partition?

  > Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

  What do you mean by update recovery partition?
  The recovery partition should NOT be touched!

  In which case you'd change the partition, the HARD drive recovery process could not be started!

  Probably, you have not understood the meaning of such a HARD drive recovery procedure.
  It's the option provided by Toshiba and the recovery of HARD drive allows you to establish the notebook to factory settings; on the same State as at the first day of the purchase.

  Hello

  I had some problems when trying to install MAC - OSX, for her, where the partition table is deleted, then I retrieve the entire score as it is, but I can not start in any case.
  Then I decide temproraly install another copy of vista drive Vista (not the partition), then set up my laptop to boot from the recovery partition and reinstall the good copy.
  My problem is, it's all here, the only problem is, I need to configure the system to boot from the recovery partition.

  My device is:
  Satellite A300-148

  Thanks to the device.

  Hello

  If you have already changed the partitions of HARD drive and deleted files from the HARD disk, then your HARD drive recovery is too bad!

  But to make sure that the HARD drive recovery is not possible please press F8 immediately after the power of the laptop. Usually a start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the option called fix my computer. Then you should be able to choose recovery option.

  But like I said that this is only possible if your HARD drive was not formatted!

  If you have formatted the HARD drive and changed partitions then you will need a Toshiba DVD recovery that you have not because you didn t he create at the beginning. Is this good? Well, then you must order the recovery DVDs if you want to retrieve the laptop to factory settings.

• Satellite Pro C660-225: shrink the recovery partition englarge C partition

  When I first came to this product, prior to the opening, I thought that all 500 GB would go to the first partition, but then I saw that the recovery partition has half the 500 GB just for recovery which is unnessecery.

  But I had no problem with it at the time and used the recovery (after the backup to a disk) for ubuntu partition, so I have a dual boot.

  But now I came to realize that the games I download are taking up more room on my C drive. The problem I have is that I can reduce my recovery partition and expand the C drive.

  Does anyone know a work around?

  You will need a 3rd party software to reduce the recovery partition and add the partition of the free space in the existing C.
  I would recommend a freeware tool called Gparted

  But before you start this making, create a recovery disc!
  This is recommended in the case where you would try to put the computer laptop configuration using this disc.

• XPS 8700 - which partitions can I remove?

  * Please see my image in attachment my disk management *.

  I just manually installed Win 8.1 on my XPS 8700. I installed the operating system for an SSD, and in the Windows menu, I reformatted my hard drive 2 TB to store my programs on.

  (1) in the disk management screen, I noticed there is a lot of data recovery/OEM partitions - what I am able to remove? Do I need them or they are simple for recovery situations only? I'm a bit wary of removing OEM partition and EFI partition as I do not know if it will mess with my PC!

  (2) also whenever I start my PC, now it says I have 2 selections to begin:

  Volume 2 = SSD (which I want to start automatically)
  Volume 7 = a few menus recovery / on one of the partitions, but I can't say that

  I've never seen this before selection when I had Win8.1 installed on the hard disk. Wouldn't be better to simply keep the partitions and select volume2 as my disk to MBR in Windows so I ignore the msg to start every time?

  If you want to save your factory settings, you should do so, using Dell Backup and Recovery by using the Windows installation on your original drive:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/Dell-backup-and-recovery/

  i.e. remove the SSD and the original hard drive boot and then make a rescue disk (external hard drive Bootable) / Backup factory (USB Bootable).

  None of the 5 scores are needed for a data reader and I advise to dry the internal HARD disk (with removed SSDS and UEFI/SecureBoot disabled) using the likes of DBAN:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/securely-wipe-your-hard-drive-with-dariks-boot-and-Nuke-DBAN/

  You can then use these to restore the factory settings on the SSD later if you wish. Install in UEFI with activated SecureBoot.

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/Dell-backup-and-recovery/#restore

  If you prefer to install manually clean then see here still install in UEFI with SecureBoot enabled:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Microsoft-Windows-and-Office/Download-Microsoft-Windows/download-Windows-8-1-retail-and-OEM-ISO/

  After installation it will also help you configure Windows to use the HARD disk as a data disk:

• Re: Satellite L350-170 - cannot use cloned recovery partition

  I have a laptop of s Satellite L350, one friend that I tried to fix it, but the HARD drive is faulty, so bad, that I can't create the restore disks. I cloned the image to another HARD disk partition (Yes, I created 2 partitions) which is a western digital, for some reason any when you press F8, I can't in the restore option, but I can't the disk faulty, is - because you use a Toshiba HDD only?

  Thanks in advance

  Chris

  Hello Chris

  It has nothing to do with Toshiba HDD. This option works when the laptop is preinstalled with original recovery image. This with cloned partition will not work and recovery of HARD drive option will not appear in the advanced boot options.

  Only when you install Recovery on this new HARD drive image, going to market.

  One last thing: this old L350 works fine with Win7 32 bit so if possible install instead of using original Vista.

• Windows 7 installed on my recovery disk - can I remove it?

  HI - Windows 7 settled on my recovery disc and left intact the Windows Vista. There is not enough space on the recovery disk to install the updates. So... is it safe to delete all my recovery disc and start? I don't want to do is to find I deleted versions, of course. (I assume that Vista is on my C drive, but how can I be sure?)

  Hello

  Assuming that the C:\ drive still has Windows Vista installed. You can start on Windows Vista and format the drive D:\, who has installed Windows 7. Then, you can start a new installation of Windows 7. In this case, if you try to install Windows 7 without formatting the drive D:\, will give you an option to select the operating system you want to start with, because there will be multiple operating systems installed on two discs.

  During the installation of Windows 7, make sure that you select the right drive on which you want to install the operating system.

  Installation and reinstallation of Windows 7

  Let us know if that helps.

• HP Envy 15 notebook PC: recovery Partition HP after the passage of Win8.1 to win 10

  I've recently updated to Win8.1 (original factory-installed) to win 10.

  Everything seems to work very well (a few bugs here and there, but nothing major).

  My question is about the factory recovery partition

  I studied the forums and it seems that if I used Recovery Manager to recover, he would recover back to Win8.1, not the current installation of Win10

  (1) can you please confirm that the HP recovery partition / recovery manager will recover only to Win8.1 and has been upgraded not so?

  (2) how can I get a recovery to redeem to Win 10?

  -is the Recovery Manager / partition "stretchy"?

  -Should I do new media recovery (should I use Recovery Manager, or who would do only Win8.1 media)?

  - or should I use https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

  (3) every time I do the recovery media Win10, so I can delete my restore partition? (using Recovery Manager option to do this)

  My computer is still under warranty

  Thank you

  Chris

  1. Once installed the old partition recovery W8-W10 no longer works without some fiddling with serious.

  2A. There is recovery for W10 built into the operating system, type 'Settings' in the search bar, and then view the settings, then click on "Recovery" tab, this is where you can do a reset for W10.

  More information about reinitialization, see link below

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-10/repair-recovery

  2B. the recovery partition can be updated to W10 but requires a lot of geek who can't be mentioned here and definitely not worth the time and effort.

  2 c. a Yes make your recovery from usb disks using this tool of creation of media.

  3. Yes

  You already have your recovery W8 media while W8 was still installed?

• Recovery partition: is this Dell or Windows 7?

  It is a healthy GB 10,89 (System, active, primary Partition). No drive letter. No file system not listed in management of the disks, but Easeus Partition Master identifies as NTFS with 6.7 GB used.

  Is there a Windows 7 partition or partition of Dell. Dell DataSafe local backup cannot detect what he calls "The recovery Partition" because I cloned the original of this drive, so if it's Dell, I don't need and that it will try to remove it.

  Any help figure this out will be appreciated!

  Rob

  There is a much easier method to transfer the initialization routines for the Patition of recovery Dell to the operating system Partition. First of all, I will explain why I wanted to get rid of the recovery Partiion.

  I have a new Dell XPS, delivered with a small hard drive (did not more great disc because they are much cheaper online independently). First of all, I have everything are saved on a USB drive external using Paragon & Recovery Suite 10 and restored to full disk / partition images for the new hard drive. The new hard drive was big I wanted to do 3 separate partitions - 1 for the operating system and the program files and the other 2 for data files. Unfortunately the Dell pre-loaded count utility and recovery Partitions to the limit of 4 scores per disc so I had 2 leave available are I was to keep the two partitions of Dell. After first verifying the Dell recovery Partition was stored outside and duplicate, I then deleted the partion via Paragon but quickly found computer wouldn't boot. Course of restoration the recovery via Paragon Partition has not fixed the problem, I think because I did not take the extra step to mark the non deleted partition 'Active'. Then, I started from the Paragon recovery CD and restored the recovery Partition from a backup on external USB disk. Started computer then fine. This may seem a bit messy but I was on a "learning curve" and the whole of the restoration of a work boot partition process took less than 30 minutes.

  I still need to get rid of the recovery Partition, not because of problems of space, but due to the limit of the partition of 4 described above. As I did it was simple and required no all downloads, burning a cd of BING or the use of Regedit. BTW, I use Windows 7 64-bit edition but I understand the process for 32 bit ver of Win 7 and Win Vista is very similar:

  From the Start button, type "Command" in the search screen and click on the command line option to display a screen to type BACK.

  The type of command prompt resulting: Bcdboot c:\windows /s c:

  In example above, assuming that the operating system partition is drive c: and the startup routines are located in the default location (C:\Windows) it is assumed user requires the c: drive to become hance bootable "c:" after the "/ s". Syntax help is available by typing: Bcdboot /?

  Next step is to use the disk management utility to mark the partition (set at the factory to C: on my new Dell) operating system to 'Assets', which will also mark the recovery Partition Dell as "inactive". Disk management can be invoked in Win7 via control panel - system and safety - administrative tools - computer management - disk management or (shorter) using the Start button and type DISKMGMT. MSC in the search line.

  After changing the partition active, check that the computer will boot successfully with the Dell recovery Partition inactive. The unwanted recovery partition can then be removed. The entire process using Bcdboot and disk management only took about 5 minutes.

  As a general comment, I think that the Dell recovery Partition is really useful only during the first months of the use of a new computer because its use is very destructive of the data changes and the user, at least for those who have not created an extra partition to separate the data files of the operating system. Indeed, it performs a "factory reset" on the computer, so anyone using this recovery option months or years "down the line" will then spend many hours re-installing software, download patches and recover files of data which is held on the OS partition. Much better, imo, to run backups of normal on an external disk partition and the restoration of their share. A tip I could offer in this regard is to keep the old hard disks when upgrading disk or replacement of a pc and buy a box of cheap discs (aka disc cart) to mount the old hdd as a USB stick, perfect for storage of backups and should be detached from the computer after backup has run (and preferably stored in another room (, ideally in another building). In this way, it is relatively quick and easy to recover from a failed hard drive or corrupt the OS. There are a number of backup programs relatively inexpensive which generate full disk / partition including 2 images I used - Paragon and Acronis. Any backup program you choose, make sure you create a "recovery CD" so that the system can be launched and the backup software went without an operating system.

• HP ENVY m6 Noteb: hp recovery partition

  How to upgrade my hp restore partition?

  Hello

  Unfortunately, the real HP recovery Partition can not be updated, and cannot be used to reinstall the OS that originally shipped with the machine - which is in accordance with Microsofts oem T & Cs.

  However, as long as your upgrade to Windows 10 has previously activated Ok, you can perform a new installation of Windows 10 as stated in the guide on the following link.

• XP to Win 7 set at level OK. A 80 GB with 20 GB C and D Partitions 60 GB drive. Which Partition is active? Can remove Win subdir on another Partition?

  I have a Dell 745 with XP to Win 7 installed OK. The 80 GB hard drive has a partition C of 20 GB and 60 GB D partitions. The two partitions have a Windows subdirectory. If D is the active partition, can I remove the Windows subdirectory on the partitiion C? How can I find out which partition is active?

  Personally I start from scratch by booting from the cd win7 to install, early in the process when it locates the partitions, delete them both, and then continue the installation to utalise all the space

• Satellite C855 - 1 GR - No HDD Recovery Partition error - but there is!

  I dropped the C: Partition without touching the hidden recovery partition (the first partition on the disk) and make a new partition D: for data.

  Now the recovery program is unable to find the recovery partition which is still intact and unchanged.

  How can I get a drive recovery done now?

  Is it possible to change the drive letter of the hidden partition for recovery it is?

  I put t know what OS do you use but first partition has nothing to do with the Toshiba Recovery files. First partition is the WinRE partition and it is up to the operating system.

  Your ad doesn t offer some important information for a better understanding.

  What model of laptop do you have exactly?
  What operating system is preinstalled on it?
  Is preinstalled OS original OS that you ve you have with your laptop?

• Satellite P855 and Win8 - would like to delete the recovery partition

  In fact, I would like to remove the recovery on my new P855 Satellite partition using diskpart. Now I have some problems/uncertainty (of course I have already created the recovery DVDs):

  1: when I look in Disk Management on my Windows 8, there are 2 recovery partitions! a small beginning of the disc (450 MB), a bigger at the end of the disc (8,66 GB). I'm a little confused about this. There is not usually a single recovery partition? Are - this two recovery partitions from toshiba for windows 8?

  2: I read somewhere that it can occure problems with the system by deleting the recovery partition. is there a risk if I delete the above two recovery partitions? (not to mention that I don't have the recovery of files on the hard drive more) May - so that it affects the stability or the ability of the system?

  As I don't want to take the risk, I crash my system, I hope that someone knows about it!

  Thank you guys

  see you soon
  kDar

  And why you want to delete the recovery partition?
  Its best to leave it as it is in case, you want to retrieve the computer laptop back to factory settings.

  > 1: Whe I look in Disk Management on my Windows 8, there are 2 recovery partitions! a small beginning of the disc (450 MB), a bigger at the end of the disc (8,66 GB).

  I guess that one was created by Win 8. It contains the files to fix the system in case something would be a mistake of the last partition seems to be Toshiba that contains the recovery image files.

(not to mention that I don't have the recovery of files on the hard drive more) May - so that it affects the stability or the ability of the system?

  Deletion of partition of Toshiba should not (usually) affects the ability of the system to the laptop, but nevertheless, you must create a recovery disk before you remove anything on the HARD drive.
  The recovery disc will return to the factory settings in case, that the system could be confused to the top.

• Satellite C660 - recovery partition is there but can I make backup discs?

  Hi all

  Just a query
  My GF turned on his PC series portable Satellite C660 and it would not start, we have tried to open the restore from the recovery partition sequence but kept getting the error that progresses at the start (error said to a device USB has been disconnected).

  As you probably guessed that she never did the backup disks when you are prompted, everything I could think of used a drive to win 7 and reload this way then try to make recovery disks after (I didn't activate)
  so win 7 has been installed well and all the drivers of origin that was all last week.
  Now to the crunchiness, the recovery partition is here now, I do the recovery disks and install from those, win 7 I installed it will soon take activation
  Any ideas?
  Thanks in advance

  After clean install of OS you can't create more recovery disk and you cannot install recovery image using the disk HARD recovery option (F8 at startup).

  Best thing you can do now is drive original order of Toshiba and use it for recovery image installation. It is certainly easier to have factory again.
