  • HP and the recovery Partition tools

    Hello
    My hard drive has three partitions; The Windows Partition, Partition "HP Recovery" and the score of "HP Tools". However, I NEED to format entirely (write zeros) on repair of defective sector drive. I believe that you cannot fully format a partition, so recovery ones will be deleted too. I intend to copy the data of two partitions on my memory stick and recreate partitions after. But, if I erase the hard drive, which will affect the BIOS HP options? If so, is it possible to restore any way. Or y at - it an easier way to do this?

    Again, during a support request, please provide the model name and product number complete (p/n) of the HP computer in question.

    Recovery HP (DVD or USB) media will recreate all the partitions as the day that the computer was made. There is no option to re-create only this partition or only this score... it's a process all or nothing. By using this media returns the computer to a factory State... OS, drivers, software, HP Recovery, HP tools, etc.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    How can I perform a clean installation of Mac OS x for my iMAC, retina 5K late 2014 with drive of Fusion with the intact Recovery HD partition?

    Pure how to install OSX on a Fusion drive and keep the recovery disc function

    These instructions assume that your iMAC partitions or file systems has been damaged and you want to restore to the way most efficiency with fusion drive and the recovery partition, similar to what was built in the factory.

    These instructions work for the iMAC, retina 5K end 2014 version comes with OSX Yosemite. The scores of major drive of the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive has been configured as a logical drive (merger by car).

    WARNING: These instructions here are shared for interest only. Readers to take their own risk by following these instructions. The author is not responsible for any damage caused by following these instructions.

    This is the target disk partitions, and the configuration that we want to achieve.

    Disk0 is the 128 GB SSD - solid state drive and holds the start of the partition (disk0s3)

    Disk1 is the 3.0 to HDD - mechanical transmission and holds the Recovery HD partition.

    There are two EFI partitions to partition table GUID on both hard drives (disk0s1, disk1s1).

    Disk space remaining (partition disk0s2 and disk1s2) are used to create the disc of Fusion 3.1 to named "Macintosh HD".

    / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0

    Fusion unencrypted drive

    Here's how we do it.

    • A. clean reinstallation of Mac OS x.
    • 1. make sure that you back up all your data on the hard drive using Time Machine or other means. The following procedure will delete all data.
    • 2. create the OSX install USB, insert it to the MAC workstation.
    • 3. given that us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
    • 4. in the menu at the top of the screen, select disk utilities.
    • 5. turn highlighted the volume of disk Fusion called "Macintosh HD." Click clear to clean.
    • 6. If his success, then go ahead to install OSX new to that partition, as usual.
    • 7. otherwise, if it does not, that means fusion drive has been damaged.
    • 8 follow the instructions below to fix it.
    • . B. Split disc Fusion in the physical hard disks
    • 1. Since us will be operated on the internal drive of the Mac trunk, assumes that we already have boot up OSX install USB drive (see Y.).
    • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
    • 3. on the screen of the terminal type:
    • Cs diskutil list.
    • You will see something similar to the screen below.
    • 4 copy the long string after Logical Volume and replace the UUID with it in the following command to delete the logical volume of the disc fusion (aka coreStorage of logical volume):
    • diskutil deletevolume cs UUID
    • For example:
    • diskutil deletevolume E59B5A99-F8C1-461A-AE54-6EC11B095161 cs
    • 5 copy the long string after the logical volume group and replace the UUID with it in the following command to remove the drive (aka coreStorage) fusion:
    • diskutil cs remove UUID
    • p. ex. diskutil cs remove E03B3F30-6A1B-4DCD-9E14-5E927BC3F5DC
    • 6. at this stage, the fusion drive has been deleted, and hardsisk SSD and mechanical hard drive will be reappear in diskutil or separate records.
    • 7. If step 5 or 6 takes more than 30 minutes to complete, this means that the fusion drive has been corrupted. You can follow the commands below to clear the table to partition the hard way. First command clears the SSD drive, second command erases the HARD drive.
    • The command does not return a response, after 1 minute, press Ctrl + Z to complete orders. 1 minute is enough data to code and erase the partition table on the disk.
    • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk0
    • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk1
    • . C install a new copy of Mac OS x for the hard drive HDD and tested this disk partition hard recovery work.
    • 1. go on diskutil to create a partition called Macintosh HD HDD hard drive using all the space there.
    • 2 do the same with the mechanical hard drive.
    • 3. follow the usual procedure to boot from the installation of OSX USB and install a new copy of Mac OS x hard disk SSD.
    • 4. This will create the correct priming of the partitions, recovery hard drive partitions and PSX partitions hard disk HDD.
    • 5. once the installation is complete, test if OSX may start successfully, but no need to go through the initial MAC OS x didn't put in place that we're going to waste this and do the installation again later.
    • 6. we must now test if the recovery hard drive partition works.
    • 7. reboot for hard drive recovery (see X - by pressing command and R at the same time during boot right after that you hear sound start and release only a few seconds after you see the apple logo and the progress bar for loading...)
    • 8. it is important to test and make sure that the partition of hard drive recovery.
    • D. recreate the fusion drive
    • 1 since us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
    • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
    • 3
    . on the screen of the terminal type:
  • diskutil list.
  • You should find that we have a list of disk group hard physical volume only, no logic here still.
  • 4. you will see something similar to the screen below.
  • 5. search for the largest partition on the SSD hard drive, which should be close to the maximum size of HDD to the SSD (121 G, for example) and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk0s2
  • 6. search the largest disk partition mechanical forming fusion with the SSD hard drive. This should be close to the maximum size of the mechanical hard drive (for example 3 TB) hard disk and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk1s2
  • 7
  • . Now let's create the merger in car (group alias logical volume) in the Terminal, type: diskutil cs create nom_lecteur driveIDs
  • The number of the driveIDs is unlimited, it may be a number of discs, or a number of disk partitions. Always put the faster discs first, for example for our SSD disk0s2
  • For example:
  • diskutil cs create fusiondrive disk0s2 disk1s2
  • diskutil - the version of disk utility command line.
    cs - This calls for Core Storage, which is necessary for the merger.
    create - creates a basic storage group.
    nom_lecteur - is the name of the drive and how you want that he
  • appear in the disk utility (not the Finder - that comes later). You can call it what you like; in our example, we named our Fusion table "Fusion".

  • driveIDs - Here is the Player IDs of the readers you want as part of your Fusion table, separated by a space. In our example, they are 'disk0' and 'disk1', but it may be different in your configuration.
  • It is important that the faster hard drive appears first in the command, which in our case the disk0s2 (a partition in the SSD). In this way, drive fusion will use this disk as primary and the cache. The second disc in the command, in this case disk1s2 (a partition on the HARD disk). The secondary disk (HARD drive) is used to store less frequently used files.  Otherwise, the fusion drive performance will be worse that it is designed for.

  • Finished CoreStorage operation
  • 9 copy to the bottom of the string after "Discovering new Volume Logic Group" using the command + C
  • 10. next, create the partition of the merger (alias logical volume) drive named "Macintosh HD".

  • groupstring - this is the long alphanumeric string you copied in the previous step. It identifies the table you created such as getting a volume placed on it.
  • jhfs + -the format of the disc. It is Apple (journaled) extended Format, which is recommended for drives with an operating system installed on it.
  • VolumeName - the actual name of the volume, how it should appear under the icon. If there is a space in the name, you must put the full name in quotes ("name") or put a slash before the (name Drive\) space. In our example, we made these, naming our volume "Macintosh HD".
  • size : this is the size of the volume. In our example, we had a 1.1 TB drive. We used '1100g' to describe what 1100 GB (1.1 TB to base 10). Otherwise, we could have also used 1.1 T or even 100% as a size.

  • Vista partition tool can merge a partition itself?

    I would like to delete the partition on my hard drive and then to merge part of it in my Vista partition.  I have Vista on C, my documents on D and XP on my partition of F.  I would like to delete F and then to merge half in C and the other half in D.  I can do all this in Vista's own native partitioning tools?

    Paul

    Hello Prr1,

    Thank you for posting.  I did exactly that with one of my readers what you try to do it now.  So, the answer is Yes you can.  Just proceed with caution that your car has your Vista installed on it, while mine was an additional drive, I used for the storage and testing.  Both partitions are on the same physical drive you should not have any problems changing the size of partition using the Vista partitioning tool.

    Please let me know if this was helpful. Zack

  • How to copy the recovery on the new HARD drive partition, HARD drive failed?

    Hallo,

    I have a Compaq Mini netbook with Windows 7 Starter.

    The HARD drive has failed and it is not repairable. However, it seems that the recovery partition is OK.

    I want to buy a new HARD drive, install the driver on the netbook, and then use the tools/recovery partition to install windows 7 on a new PC.

    So, the question is simple: how to copy the recovery for the new HARD drive partition?

    Hello s91066.

    If your hard drive of your laptop doesn't have? If this is the case, what do you mean by the "recovery partition is ok? I doubt that this laptop has two hard disks, so if you are able to see this partition of your hard drive may still work.

    You will need a set of recovery disks to restore the partitions on the new drive. If you can start Windows, which you can probably not with a dead hard drive, you can follow these steps if you can get into Windows.

    If you are unable to boot into Windows, you need a set of disks. You can order it directly from HP. The number of the United States / Canada is 1-800-474-6836. If you are in another domain, you must visit HP's Support around the world to find contact information for your region.

    I hope that is useful; have a great weekend!

    Latitude E6510 - how I manually access the Dell system recovery partition?

    Hi all

    My Dell Latitude E6510 came with OEM Win 7 Pro x 64 installed. I am trying to perform a restore of the system to the factory setting.

    I tried to access advanced without result Boot Options and pressing F12 during the boot process does not provide me with the option to repair and select the recovery partition, as if it is invisible. If I use the computer management > storage I do not see the hidden partition or if I do Diskpart it is listed.

    How the BIOS or the system recognize it to boot from the recovery partition? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply but it appears not the solution you provided helped and I think you are incorrect since my original screenshot has allowed me to see the hidden partition, but I didn't know how to access it.

    I got access once I used the app "diskpart" with commands like 'list readers', 'list volume' and 'assign volumes"to access the partition of the content.

    Nevertheless, I have found that my recovery media is missing or damaged.

  • question... but with the added new config/partitions cloning

    I just bought an SL500 and need to update my hard drive of 160 GB / 5400 RPM 250 GB / 7200 RPM. to add to the process I also wish to add/install XP PRO as main/C on the new hard drive partition. I am very familiar with cloning and upgrade, but my question is about the partition of VISTA recovery and partition of LENOVO CARE. I will be able to access these tools as I do now as long as I keep the same volume of wall letters? or y at - it somewhere that I will need to change the settings? After installing the new hard drive config will be as follows... XP PRO on the C partition. BASIC of VISTA on partition D... DVD on E (same as current)... LENOVO on (same as current) S... SERVICEV003 (same as current) q. is this a correct approach to ensure that I can continue to have the original installed tools on the new hard drive? Thank you mc

    Thanks for the reply. Well it took a minute, but I got things set up quite as much as I wanted to here are the links that got me here. as you suggest on the slip streaming, fortunately it is NOT necessary for the SATA controller. so for those who want to use with XP PRO SP3 SATA (in my case) with the portable computers SLxxx then pls see the Intel Matrix Storage Manager section first.

  • The appearance Palette opacity change does not stick

    It is obvious that by changing the settings in the appearance palette line & fill that describes all of the following agree - well, it's sort of working-e.g. eliminating lines altogether and also change the fill of a new color remains in effect I use then the pen tool, but any opacity change does not stick. I put 20% before using the pen tool, but whenever I use the pen tool, it is up to the 'default'. It forces me to, and then select the shape you want, this is the end to change the opacity, so I can see what I'm doing.

    Because everything is supposed to have the same opacity, it would be a great time saver to have my desired setting stay at 20% and will not return to the default value. I know that under SELECTION > OBJECT > ALL on THE SAME LAYER can change everything at once, but opacity lower as I work helps me build the forms correctly in the first place.

    Can someone tell me what the devil I'm doing wrong?

  • I'm having a problem with the patch in PS:CC tool

    Please see this video, as it will demonstrate the problem more clearly than anything I could say.

    http://www.screencast.com/t/bVkNkapww

    When you use the patch tool, I select an area, then click on and drag to an area that I want to replace this content selected with. This replacement must be a direct replacement of 1:1 (WYSIWYG). However, when I release the mouse button, rather than fill the selection area with exactly what I've been, I get - good - stuff. Sometimes, it seems that it running a blur instead of a patch. Sometimes it appears like he is trying to patch, but pulling in the area. There is almost always a blur involved effect.

    I tried to ask on some forums and people stop me changing my brush settings, but the patch is a selection tool, not a Brush tool. There is no brush setting to change.

    I don't see any pen options, which could partially explain what I see. It looks like a setting high feather is enabled.

    I tried to reset the tool room, as well as all the tools and even deleted the entire PS config file (ugh, that sucked) but the problem persists.

    Any thoughts on what is causing this problem and how to fix it?

    Again, please see the video because it will clear up almost any question what the problem actually looks like.

    For the sake of clarity and to save people time, Todd wonders about the behavior of the hotfix when using it to repair the area next to the young boy the tool head.  Todd gets a fuzzy dark tone well enough regardless of the options he uses.

    IMO that is what I expect to happen due to the proximity of the other image that is the boy's neck and the lines of force of his shirt.  I would not choose to use the patch tool in this situation.  Content Aware Fill allows a better dagger shot it.
