• ThinkVantage Button takes me to the system recovery after HARD drive partition

  Hello

  I recently bought a W520 with 4 GB of RAM.

  I bought 3 branches of more than 4 GB each, installed and everything was fine. Also, I shrunk the C: drive and created a new disk (D:\) from space, that I rescued after the reduction of the volume.

  When I start the laptop and you want to enter the BIOS setup by pressing the blue ThinkVantage button, she won't go to the BIOS Setup. Rather, it passes through the system recovery options.

  What gives? How can I go to the BIOS Setup?

  Thank you in advance.

  Continuously when the system starts, press F1.

• Vista 32 bit Vaio System Recovery on new drive

  My drive completely crashed and had to be replaced (Vaio VGN-N325E). I try to use the DVD of Sytem Vaio recovery for Vaio VGN-N300E series I ordered Sony (contains recovery Vista 32 Bit and all programs). He gets on the "System Recovery Options" where it is said if you do not see your operating system are mentioned (I don't) click on load drivers to load the drivers for your hard drive. When I click Load Drivers, it appears to add DRIVERS with the message "insert the media from the device and click OK to select the driver. When I click OK it refresh the folder System32 of the boot drive. I'M STUCK AT THIS POINT. Can I put in the disc 1 or 2? which driver I'm looking for? Where is it located?

  Unfortunately, we can not really help with the retrieval of the disks or the manufacturer recovery Partitions - they are the manufacturer and non-Microsoft.  We have not the necessary information on the process of recovery from each manufacturer to be able to help you.  You need to get in touch with Vaio Support technical assistance to this process: http://b2b.sony.com/Solutions/lpage.do?page=/support/business_support.html&name=Support.

  Sorry we can't be more helpful.

  Good luck!

• System recovery against Factory Reset?

  Hello.

  Start tx1217cl with recovery disc (F11 doesn't work is not a reason any).

  Under "Advanced Options", two choices are:

  -System Recovery (recovery of your computer to its original factory condition) and

  -Factory Reset (restore your system to its original factory condition)

  Anyone know what's the difference between these two options?    I seeks to do a destructive restore and do not know which of these options would do that, so either.

  Thank you

  System recovery reformatted only drive C, while the factory reset reformatted the entire disk.

• Q about formatting hard drive

  Hello

  Ive been having some problems with my pc lately, I found 2 Trojan horses and things started to slow down. So I did system restore, but now everything is scrwed. For example, I look for a file in Start button and I find that file and I fly over to see the location of the file and the location is actually where it was before I did the system restore. So results in some research could not catch up the system, so theyre reports restore old locations. And when I click on the object sought, it is said that it is not found.

  And everything is still slower, I click on some exe. files and it literally takes 5-6 minutes for it to open, and for some reason, my firefox has missing modules. Everything is just messed up. So Im thinking to do system recovery/format.

  I have just a problem in this regard because I made a lot of system recovery on my old pc (XP) and all used to worsen. Installed applications would not work even if they were still installed, there would be a ton of left over files and is feeling just empty, I mean, it would be a mess, resutls research would provide erroneous results, things would not be open or start when you clicked on them, on the start menu. It would be like nuking a place and make heaps of rubble and bodies and collapsed buildings left.

  So im asking is it possible to completely back to factory settings, simply do a full reboot, start over, start as I bought the pc, without having any of these happen?

  Thank you

  
  

• System recovery disks, do not install it on the new drive SDD

  Hello

  I have updated the HARD original SDD disk disk drive.
  First of all, I cloned the old drive and installed the image but then the updates of windows would not work.

  Looking at all the forums and I tried everything I read, but updates still did not work.

  Finally formatted the drive and then used the original system restore disks that work fine on the old hard drive but Windows end retsarting continuously after all 3 disks installed.

  He tried to finish the installation but then gets and error and restarts and loops just over and over again.

  Is this something to do with the 4 k sectors?
  Do I need other drivers?
  How can I factory reinstall my Windows 7 disc new SSHD?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > Finally formatted the drive and then used the original system restore disks that work fine on the old hard drive but end Windows restarts continuously after all 3 installed drives

  Generally, the Toshiba recovery disks should install Toshiba image on the new HARD drive or disc SSD and the unit should start correctly.

  To be honest, I'm not very well why the laptop keeps restarting after the installation of m.
  But I guess it has something to do with the partitions and sizes of the partitions.

  Is that the Toshiba recovery disks would format the drive HARD (or SSD) and create the same partitions and sizes of the partitions.

  In case the installation of the system would not work by using the recovery discs, I would recommend you trying to install the system by using the Microsoft Windows CD clean. The essential drivers may be downloaded from the Toshiba UE driver page.

• Format HARD drive, delete the recovery partition and recover with disc

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite C660D-17F and want to format my HDD, remove the recovery partition and recover the preinstalled Windows 7 and other software. I don't want to keep my own data, which are all stored already, I just want to be sure I can safely restore preinstalled stuff. I have a few questions that I need help to clear up before I go ahead.

  Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition? If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?

  I found [this post | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/items/faq/71] which explains the recovery process. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that? It will restore the OS and the software for the backup of dvd drive? Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?

  Added SIDENOTE:
  I actually prefer to be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I'm after. Or is there a way?

  Sorry, I know that was a long post, but I want to be sure of what will happen BEFORE I'll and spoil things! :) If you got this far, thanks for reading. :)

  Hello

  I will try to offer help. ;)
  > Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition?
  Yes. Saved on recovery discs recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, specific Toshiba and utility tools and some additional software.
  > If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?
  Preinstalled Toshiba Recovery creator make recovery disc that includes the recovery image only. It has nothing to do with your personal data.
  > I found this post that explains the process of recovery. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that?
  After that, you should use recovery disks created for the recovery image installation.
  > Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?
  When you use the recovery disc for your laptop recovery image installation will have factory settings which include the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. To be honest I do not understand why you do not want to have this recovery image on the HARD drive. This allows the installation of recovery using recovery of HARD drive option. But of course you can delete it later for more free space on your HARD drive. Installation image that you can always use created for recovery discs-recovery DVDs.
  > I'd really rather be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I don't want after
  Fix.

• Pavilion new hard drive XP Media Center Edition 2005, won't boot from the system recovery disks

  Hi, I'm trying to replace the hard drive in Pavilion a1620n a member of the family with XP Media Center Edition 2005 where the original Samsung SP2504C HDD failed.  I HAVE the original recovery discs 1 and 2 system and additional recovery disk supplied with the PC but the problem seems to be that I can't get the PC to boot from them to start the recovery process.  I installed a new Western Digital 500 GB HARD drive.  The BIOS recognizes it is installed (as well as the existing DVD - RW drive) and drive past the on-board CHIP support tests.  I tried using the Boot Menu ESC to select the DVD - RW Drive as the first Boot device, as well as the tab Boot Setup of BIOS F1 to set the 1st boot CD-ROM device group and other people with disabilities.  After reboot, the drive of DVD - RW turns on for about 2 seconds, then turns off and the display shows "DISK BOOT FAILURE", INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER.  I thought maybe I needed a kind of bootable CD boot disk to format the drive first, so I tried a BACK 6.22 bootable CD and a bootable CD of MEMTEST, that work on the other PC, but I get the same message "DISK BOOT... "on this one.  My next idea would be to try to host the new drive on another PC and copy the files on it recovery disk... but is it really necessary?  If the own PC system recovery CD should not be able to... Recover?

  It seems to me that the ligthscribe drive has a problem.  Replace the disk and it may be OK after that.  On a PC so old, it is probably an IDE drive, but check first.

• Want J010dx m7: windows will not start until after full recovery of the system with new HARD drive

  Hello world

  I need help here.

  My HP envy m7 J010dx works perfectly with my original hard drive (1 TB).

  I am preparing a second HDD (NEW 320) as backup.

  I took off the Moose HDD (1 TB) and replace it with the NEW HARD drive (320GB) and try to do a full recovery of the system with the HP recovery DVD.

  After full system recovery and laptop computer needs to be restarted in order to continue, the laptop keeps restarting on the logo of windows 8.

  I think it says device not found Boot. Also a test using the UEFI tool material HP and all pass.

  Replacing the NEW HARD drive with the original of the old HARD drive and it start normally.

  What can go wrong here in this case? Thank you very much for the help.

  Concerning

  John

  OK, I read through the thread and this is my point of view on this based on works including restore process with the user created a recovery (UCRDs) media which the user indicated that they used.

  If you just want to jump to the conclusion at the bottom, you can see my opinion. If you want to know 'why' Please read the entire post.

  Model No.: m7-j010dx

  Product #: E0K83UA #ABA

  Ships OS: Windows 8 (64-bit)

  Recovery HP part No. Kit: 730336-002 (3 DVDs + extra)

  User replaced the HARD drive with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM with HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection a new hard drive is a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9320423AS 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache SATA 3.0 GB / s 2.5 "Notebook internal hard drive.

  With the help of UCRDs sent media recovery media (SSRDs):

  When the UCRDs are created, only the drivers for the HW operation (this is a critical point, that I will look later) are burned to the user created a recovery media.  Consider this a snapshot of the current HW, the base drivers and software applications.   If you change the HW on your laptop or desktop where the additional device requires a different driver for these features, a few questions you might - recovery process could stop because he can't find the right driver, a blue screen, a lack of start-up or other unstable system.

  A few years ago, I had a PC that would not recover because the Blu - ray (ODD) optical disk drive did not work.  I replaced the WEIRD Blu - ray with a generic DVD/CD burner into the new part of Blu - ray is presented.   I got the PC using SSRDs thinking I would put some time and just install the Blu - ray after the PC has been recovered.   The PC recovered and when the new Blu - ray showed I installed the unit and guess what?  All PCs have shown in Device Manager and applications was a generic ODD - no Blu - ray capability and ability to read Blu - ray content in the default HP provided for multimedia applications delivered with the PC.  Applications were there but no Blu - ray capability.

  Huh?  It looks that I did not put any time at all.

  I inserted the new Blu - ray ODD and distributed recovery with the HP SSRDs.

  After recovery, I had all the Blu - ray drivers and applications supported Blu - ray.

  The difference between UCRDs and SSRDs:

  UCRDs provide a glimpse of what is installed and functional both disks are created.

  Version Digest of the player on what is happening with SSRDs to retrieve a PC (before Windows 10):

  SSRDs have all the drivers for all the HW and SW qualified for the unit.  There may be several drivers for hard drives, different types/screen resolutions, sides, etc.  Based on the characteristics of the specific laptop / desktop a process is run called "Do / don't.   After entering the recovery SDRD, the Notebook media boots to Recovery Manager.  The first step is a raw copy of all the contents of the disc on a temporary partition.  Following the Do / do not process looks at the characteristics of this specific unit and remove all other drivers and applications not used by this device.  Drivers and the only successful applications are the features supported.   And then, the new operating system and recovery partition is created.   The PC end recovery of cleaning process and restart the laptop / desktop. And, Yes, you guessed it, if you create the user created a recovery media, you only have the drivers for HW devices and applications of HP on the PC at the time.

  So, that being said, what could be the cause/solution?

  Hard drives can be different enough so that a different driver (not the UCRDs) is necessary for the newly installed HW.

  The SSRDs are supported on the new HARD drive installed?

  I don't know, I have an office boy, and I have not tried on this model of laptop.

  If you have / acquire SSRDs, I recover the laptop with the new installed HARD drive and see if it works.  It may or may not.  I don't know what drives were qualified for this laptop.

  If this does not work, the last option is cloning via USB connection (old HARD drive in the PC, new HARD drive connected to a USB 3 via the SATA Adapter (dongle) USB port, install or download software cloning and cloning the old HDD to the new.)   I just did this on the two older Windows 7 computers laptops using a SanDisk Ultra kit.  He has worked on both units.

  Conclusion:

  I don't think that the problem is caused from a HARD drive of 1 to a 320 GB HARD drive, as it meets the minimum specs for a complete installation.  I think the problem is related to the use of UCRDs to retrieve and the UCRDs do not have the HARD driver/firmware/application disc.

  But then again, I know.

  I am an employee of HP...

• The system recovery disk - how do without floppy drive?

  I am trying to create a "system recovery disk" as part of the TOSSHIBA ASSIST (protect and fix the section).

  However, before we proceed, I noted that he was invited to a 'floppy' create a recovery disc but this model without this facility data can be recorded on a CD. I didn't get throughout the procedure and find that I couldn't finish it due to no floppy drive!

  Or otherwise just use the product recovery DVD - Rom supplied with the laptop in case of problem... not sure if this would hold the same data?

  Any help is appreciated!

  Hello Christine

  If you look carefully on this print option (shortcut) it is written to create the CD drivers & tools and in aria info nothing follow description allows to create an external symbol to the top of the caisse de dépôt drivers & tools.

  You use this shortcut, you can simply create Tools & Utilities CD and not the system recovery media. I did a few times without any problem. Equip your optical drive for CD - R, click on this shortcut, click the button BURN.

  Herb, welcome to the forum.

  I don't think that you can move the recovery partition of the USB hard disk.  The D: partition is restored when you perform a recovery of the system using the USB drive, however.
