System recovery on the SSD - any special requirements (e.g. formatting)?

I've already installed windows on the SSD using the thinkpad recovery disks, but I want reinstal it because I had originally mistakenly Windows Edition family basic and family Premium received.

I need to format or do something else for the SSD to remove the previous installation or system recovery will take care of all this?

Thank you.

' afternoon.

System recovery using recovery discs deletes and recreates the necessary partitions, if my information is correct and my experience is true. You will need to should not do anything other than disk 1 initialization.

See you soon.

Use the Windows backup tool to create a system image and save it on a portable hard drive.

Use the dvd or flash drive bootable do you reinstall windows from the recovery image by selecting the repair option you will find on the installation screen.

Do I have to activate the system image on the SSD?

Stephanie,

Is it possible to install Win'a 8.1 on external USB3 2 TB drive (WD My Passport) or USB3 thumb drive (64 GB or 128 GB 256Go) and boot from the external drive later?

On Dell XPS 15 laptop computer with touch screen, it is the model which has two readers. I intend to upgrade the two system has so 1 TB mSATA and 1 TB SSD.

It is possible to:

Install Win 1 TB mSATA 8.1

Do the Windows system image backup

1 TB SSD restore

Then be able to boot from the drive?

Given that the product key is embedded in the BIOS, 8.1 win on both drives is enabled?

You know other options to clone Windows discs?

Install Win 1 TB mSATA 8.1

Clone 1 TB to 1 TB SSD mSATA

I'll look at the following:

DD - Unix/linux command

ddrescue

Redo Backup

Clonezilla

I believe that all the options I listed above will require the creation of USB which is bootable with any of the listed software. Realize this is out of scope of MS; thought I'd ask just in case.

Wish windows supplied with software of clone of road built, but other providers complain probably on antitrust, etc...

I confirmed not triggered because the license is built into the rom of the BIOS on the motherboard.

As long as systems are nearly identical and OS is the same, then readers (mSATA) can be interchanged between systems and activation is not required.

About the cloning of disks mSATA:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I use Acronis True Image 2014 which I used to clone drives and it worked several times on the following:

a. of the smallest disk to disk more

b. larger drive to the smaller drive

While I did with Acronis True Image 2014 disk image backups, I still need to confirm that I can restore successfully using the backup to disk image.

For the cloning now works and that's all, I care really.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I used also successfully "dd" command from Ubuntu 14.04 to:

a. clone drive to drive directly several times since I last summer on this thread.

b. make compressed backups of disk image

c. restored from a backup image

I've created a Live Ubuntu USB key that I can use to get started with any PC equipped with a USB port.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I also discovered ZTC sky Council mSATA case USB3

Get average 275 MB/s reading speed.

I've used this forum to successfully clone disks mSATA two ways:

a. mSATA attachment mSATA in laptop

b. mSATA in mSATA in attachment laptop

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A suite and was able to boot from speaker ZTC:

Had an mSATA 1 TB from another system 8.1 Win that has been correctly configured and personalized running. The system is exactly the same as another system I have except CPU is faster in 2nd system.

1 take 1 to 1 system mSATA.
2 put the 1 TB mSATA ZTC here.

3. connect pregnant ZTC 2nd system
a. Dell XPS 15 9530
b. port Super speed USB3

4. turn on the laptop
5 press F12

6. selected pregnant JMicron and system booted right up.

7 Win 8.1 very responsive touchscreen.
8. all other very sensitive operations.
9. no more worrying failure by car.

I'll keep clone in one of these envelopes, so I'll always be able to start immediately in the event of hardware failure of the drive. I can also clone speaker for laptop and places itself in a few minutes, not in hours.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

No more waste of time.
No more loss of productivity.
No more lost files, data, or licenses.
No more lost system or application configurations.

No more distraction or frustration.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't explain the peace of mind, I now because my system is very suitable and configured and if the disc has been lost (misbehaves, failed or dead) I now have a bootable clone which was confirmed and ready to go. Simply plug pregnant, the system restarts, select start from the box and I am running immediately with 'EVERYTHING' intact. No hours or days later.

This is much better than making a backup image or a clone, and "ASSUMMING", they are good. So many people, even companies, saving its data, making images for backup to disk or even clone disks, but never check backups and clones due to the time it takes to do.

Another good thing about this package is that I don't have to open up the laptop and swap discs. Just clone for speaker, then to start immediately pregnant to confirm.

This place solves one of my backup issues.

Lets clone mSATA inside the laptop to mSATA in case ZTC, then start at the mSATA inside ZTC to validate the cloning has worked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

200 MB/s to 300 MB/s reads... with this case - according to mSATA you buy
200 MB/s to 250 MB/s writes... with this case - according to mSATA you buy

My laptop has super speed USB3 ports, not legacy USB3 ports

How can I move files system recovery to the original location?

I use Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion P6000 series. I believe that the Recovery Manager created Windows System Recovery Files folder on the C: drive (from .wim files) created on an external drive, and I want to move them to the original location. Just copy or move everything to the C: drive, or is it an executable program that does this?

Found this previous post - I guess that's the solution...

201207 04-18: 12:00 - modified on 18-04-201207:13 PM

The backup that is used to recover only restores the files in a folder, leaving the owner to move. I agree, not the application of backup more useful, but better than nothing I guess.

HP Touchsmart 520-1020 PC: installation of operating system/recovery on the new HARD disk media?

Hello everyone!

I recently bought and installed a new hard drive on my Touchsmart 520-1020 after that started to spoil. Given that I don't return to the top of my media and the model was old enough, I had to buy a whole new pack of system directly from HP recovery disks. I tried to install them several times, but each time that the process of recovery achieved 39% the disk #2 (in 4 total) that breaks down just, and a message appears saying that there is an error 0xe0ef000e. I thought it might be produced because the hard drive is not compatible, but the hard drive is reading for diagnostic tests, so is not the problem. HP support suggested that the problem could be with the discs, but I bought it on the official HP website to make them new. Please let me know what you think the problem might be. Thank you for your time.

More than likely disk 2 is bad, call HP for a replacement set.

The application of fields required in pdf format before saving or printing text

Hi all
First of all, you should know that I just spend over an hour going through as many threads I can concerning the mandatory fields, but none of them seemed to answer my question since Treaty more than online or more complex forms.
All I'll try to find it's a way to ensure that the text required on a pdf form fields. There are three areas at the top of my form in need. I will prevent the user from being able to save or print unless these fields are populated.
Thank you very much in advance for your help :)
Best regards
Christine

FWIW, I found that people quickly get used to the shapes that behave the way I showed, and even enjoy it because it helps reduce the invalid entries, unlike what I will show below...

You could do something like the following in the event on the blur, similar to what was stated in the article that you linked to:

Blur script

If (! event.target.valueAsString) {}
App.Alert ("[description of area to provide here] must be complete. (Please enter something, no matter what', 3);

Upgrade with the SSD, the recovery on the old HARD drive partition

Hi, I would like to upgrade my W530 with SSD. What should I do to have work Pre-boot recovery with recovery partition the disk of HARD now at this time while the system would be the new SSD? Is this possible? BTW, I am considering between mSATA and SSD 2.5 "for windows. Which should I choose? I have to admit mSATA is more convenient for me.

Thanks in advance!

> recovery partition? I don't want to move on SSD

You can skip it when you perform the cloning.

> What about pre-seed recovery? It will work even if I copy the recovery on the SSD partition?

The presence of a recovery partition valid on the active drive (which is the new SSD, in your case) is required for recovery on-site work. So, if this feature is important to you, you should go back to the first question above.

If you have not made your purchase, you should take a close look at the M4 Crucial mSATA SSD 128 GB. Just a suggestion.

HP media center m470n cannot start the recovery. F10 no work. HP pc system recovery isn't in the menus.

This m470n was seriously infected by malicious software. After disinfection with MSE and ClamWin, works very well, but I would like to do a system recovery. The fact recovery partition exists. But the F10 at startup does not receive me at the recovery, nor is he a "HP PC System Recovery" entry in the tree of programs on the Start Menu. (I tried another function key I can get to the BIOS OK menu.) Is there another way to start Recovery? What is the name and the path of the exe that runs 'HP PC System Recovery?' Thank you for any advice you can give on this old machine, but still very useful!

Thanks for another excellent suggestion! Use the Partition Wizard bootable CD, I see two partitions.

One is named HP_RECOVERY, FAT, about 6 GB, and it is the active partition.

The other partition is in anonymous form, NTFS, about 145GB.

I wasn't expecting to see the active recovery partition. I guess that explains why the Windows computer management disk management Panel did not have the option Mark as active, because it was already active.

The c:\windows\sminst directory is missing, probably because the damage malware cleaning.

CherylG, you have been very helpful! I don't want to take your attention to other people's questions, and the option of replacement drives $27 is a simple solution, so unless you're really intrigued by this weird problem, we can close. Thanks again!

Access the SSD of recovery on a 7008tx Pavilion Dv7 with a broken BONE

Then... I poured a can of soda on my keyboard, the other day. The fluid was able to go through the keyboard in the unit. Not long after that the unit has stopped operating, display color lines on the screen.

I managed her apart and cleaned the internals, very carefully, and leaving the map screen and system alone. Apart from a small amount of liquid, the motherboard was intact.

Put all together now I have a few questions.

First: The system is a Pavilion Dv7 7008tx, with two 1 TB drives in a raid array. 8 64-bit Windows. Oh and data recovery is on a ssd internal flash drive.

Second, the questions start with the 1st player making the rattling.

the operating system is not recognized and disk hp check comes back clean, although the noisy drive was no noise when checking!

I tried to initiate the recovery, but the original start menu refuses to accept anything, except that there is no boot device, go to hp.com/go/techcenter/startup and install an operating system. Disconnect the hard drive master/01/borked does not help.

Unfortunately the tech center told me after checking readers confirming the bios and such to contact hp.

I searched for a few hours for a via USB initialization method and manually run the executable SDS.

I have another laptop which runs on windows 7 if it would help

I would really like to help at least from recovery on the ssd. I assumed that it works no matter what, like its on a separate drive.

Then mabye I could actually check what damage to the unit. The color of the screen disappeared, and he seems ok, except for the drive grunts.

Edit: I know almost nothing about the raid, and as such, I'm a little lost. can I buy another drive and Chuck? The recovery will work then?

The ssd is recognized in the system diagnostics.

Hello

In my view, that the recovery partition is E:, not Q: (SSD), unless your machine is NOT a dv7-7008tx, OR you have modified the original for a new HP dv7-7008tx configuration. The following image shows:

(a) C: and D: 2 1 TB HARD drive each.

(b) E: recovery partion, physically sharing with C:

q Q: 32 GB SSD that is inaccessible (for Intel RST).

Looks like the first physical HARD disk has not physically so both C: and E: failed, you cannot recovery from there.

Kind regards.

Best order of events after the recovery of the system to the factory settings?

I have done so recently a system recovery to the factory settings on my laptop and I was wondering just what I need to do and in what order to ensure the security of my computer. Also, what is the best way to get Windows updates? Should I open check updates from Control Panel or let them come as I go about my business or y at - it another option I should know about.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

You can tell Windows to check the updates of their installation at a faster pace. You could
Download and install Service Packs manually however allow updates as
usual will allow still more special updates to install.

In telling Windows to check updates or don't expect that the automatic update are essentially
equal. Rob - bicycle - Mark Twain said it is good.

Ran the system recovery and now all my pictures are gone

Original title: photos of lost.

my photos have disappeared since I ran the system recovery. Can I get back them?

Please tell us exactly what you mean by "system recovery." And exactly how you did.

If you mean the system recovery provides the manufacturer of your computer, what it does is to restore the computer to the State it is in when it left the factory. Yes, all your photos and anything else put you on the disk is gone.

HP Pavilion dv7 system recovery questions

I tried a system recovery using the HP DVD sent to me earlier and I put the first disc in and fine, sometimes about to hundred 70ish then asking disc two, I insert the CD 2 and it carries up to 100% then it moves to "deploy the files required for the installation of recovery phase" but does not move 0%

I tried to use the portable computers own system recovery, but it does not at all.

Ive took records, re them, put disc back in and stillhad entered no chance.

Any ideas on what I can do?

I have to remove mSata SSD on Inspiron 15R - SE (7520) during the SSD upgrade?

I noticed that my laptop has a job 32 GB SSD mSata as cache for 1 TB HARD drive. However I intend to abandon this 1 TB HARD drive in DVD - Rom tray and slap in a SSD 128 GB... now the problem returns to the mSata SSD.

the mSata ssd presents itself as 'LITEONIT LMT-32', its also show as SATA_array_0001 under the technology Intel Rapid Storage, with 8 GB data and 22 gb Cache volume.

base on this site, to remove this mSata SSD seems to be a pain in the ass who require a full strip down.

now I'm just amazing, what happens IF I let this mSata SSD in there, he will try to act as a cache for my SSD which is already much faster than it or the system is going to be smart enough to put my HARD drive cache. I will win ANY performance gain / lost in leaving the mSata SSD in? If not, is it possible to disable it?

Hello again,

If the installation is very easy. I made sure that the 32 GB msata, was disabled before I installed the new 240 GB SSD.

After you disable acceleration - MAKE sure THAT YOU RESET to DISP - really important... Make sure the msata drive is empty, no partition.

I removed the 1 TB drive, after I deleted the partition do not reformat... that I placed in a basket and I replaced the BD player...

Let Intel rapid storage enabled in the Bios

I installed the SSD and put the Dell OEM Windows 7 USB in and then I went... Because the other 2 drives had no any partition, left of Windows system reserves on the SSD> Windows will throw the reserve system on any other installed drive which has partitions, installing (reason msata and 1 TB of disk are not formatted)

Once Windows 7 has been made and installed, I have download driver Intel Rapid Storage from Dell... and went in the administrative options... I formatted the 1 TB drive and initialized only msata 'no format.

Returned to Intel Rapid Storage, and it was there, activate the acceleration. So I used only 22 GB for acceleration, on the storage of 1 TB drive 'former reader'... leaving me flying over 8 GB... Re-entered administrative options... and I formatted (NTFS) 8gbs... I used the 8 GB for my swap file, freeing up the 8 gb of OS "ssd s. - great idea, using a separate drive for the paging file.

I'm sure that you can also use the 8 GB for your quick start too, but I do not use the quick start...

Now, I have a 240 gb C500 and a Cached 1 TB 5400 RPM disk storage... I never really use the BD player... But I kept it just wrap... Reading and writing is great on this thing and if I decided to load my 425 GB of steam games, now I can load them on my storage drive, and it will always be super fast!

Thanks for reading and I hope you find this useful!
