  Thank you very much

  Frenchquarter, welcome to the forum.

  I suggest that you download and install OpenOffice.  It is FREE and is open to all documents created in MS Office.  If it doesn't, at least it costs you nothing to try.

  I used OpenOffice for years.  Believe me when I say that he will do everything that will make MS Office and in some cases, the better.  At least, you will have to use in the future and you'll be amazed to see how they can do it for FREE.

• System backup Image against the system recovery disks

  Hello

  I'm new to the system recovery things and I have a question...

  I just bought a new computer laptop m7-1015dx of Pavilion and need to do system recovery discs... (which I realize restore laptop to factory default)... BTW, I have already created the system repair disc.

  However, I read an article on creating a system backup Image allowing you to recovery if lost EVERYTHING, all your installed programs, etc.

  First Question:

  Can someone tell me if I do the backup IMAGE of the system...

  Do I still need to create recovery disk (mfg default) system also?

  The second Question:

  If I create system recovery disks can I still this Recovery Partition?

  I am really really wanting to partition my C:\ drive... it is huge

  In addition, I hate to see storage folders involved in system folders...

  Currently using a symbol/character to separate them.

  From now on, I can't partition the C:\drive all partitions are used as... Max is 4

  and I have 4... C:\drive, System Partition, Partition HPTools and recovery Partition.

  Any help or assistance would be appreciated.

  Thanks for the research.

  Best regards, Jenn

  Hi, Jenn:

  I'd certainly recovery disks because in the case of a hard drive failure, a recovery partition is unnecessary because it would be on the failed drive.

  Recovery disks will do the same as a recovery partition. Reinstall the operating system and programs supplied with your laptop.

  I have also copy off the coast of the C:\drive SWSetup folder and store it on a portable hard drive that contains all files Installer provided with your PC (except MS Office 2010 Starter).

  You can also make your own Windows 7 installation disc and have a nice bloatware without installing windows, and then install only the programs you want from the SWSetup folder.

  Here's how:

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  You can get rid of all the partitions you want to if you plan to use recovery or disc of Windows 7 installation method that I posted above.

  I write my product key and store them somewhere for more security that many people report that it fades if you keep the laptop on your lap a lot, and then you wouldn't be able to use the alternative method to install W7.

• Satellite P105-S6197: how to use the system recovery disk

  Greetings,

  I have a P105-S6197 and I followed the instructions on the recovery disk,

  1. Insert the disk or disk #1 in the drive.
  2. turn on your computer while holding down the button 'C' (release key 'C' when the display shows "Toshiba")

  but these instructions do not work the computer starts just to the top normally and do never runs the disk.

  Is there another way to get the disc to run so that I can completely reformat my computer to the way it was when it was first purchased.

  Thanks, Edana

  I can provide the same information as codes for:

  There are different options to allow booting from the CD/DVD drive.

  One is the C key (you have to press several times) immediately after that the laptop has been powered.

  The second possibility could be the F12 key.
  It would start on the screen menu and then you may choose the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

  Last but not least, you can change the boot order in the BIOS.
  The reader of CD/DVD (ODD) in the first place and the gaming laptop should boot from the inserted CD, bootable automatically.

• MSDN Win7 set at level + silo + able to use the system recovery. How?

  I installed through a pure install on my T400 (recently not bought, some still important files), and I resized my C drive so I have a new D partition. But after partitioning, the recovery of the system through blue button (ThinkVantage) will not work. I have not purchased a license Windows 7 off lenovo because my University gave us for Win 7 Pro MSDN subscriptions.

  So I ask: what, if any, the ideal solution, to move from Vista 32 bit (recovered from backup disks) for Windows 7 x 64 and thus divide C: into two partitions, while at the same time, allow F11 to start work and recovery C: drive without erasing my other partitions up to.

  Thank you, I know that this is probably one of the questions most often answered on this forum... If there is already a solution to it, sorry on this subject because I couldn't find a post that talks about this ^^;

  Hello:

  Looks like you wan to run your PC on Windows 7, but I also want to have this feature of recovery in place.

  You can perform one of the two options:

  Option A:

  -Perform a new installation of Windows 7

  -Download the update of system 4.0 lenovo.com

  -Select all THE updates that are listed according to the scan.

  -Once those installed, run Windows Update, install all updates, and then install ALL your additional software.

  -Once your PC is completely installed, run Rescue and Recovery (in the folder of thinkvantage); If it is not in your pc, you can download this from Lenovo.com.  Create a backup of your PC hard drive.

  You're done.  You now have a new image in your PC that works with the "blue" button (rescue and recovery is the program that runs when you push this button).

  Option B:

  If you can get your hands on the new recovery for Windows 7 disks, you can install the entire image of the new laptops Lenovo built after 10/22 factory.  Not only will you have the desired configuration, improved experience (side "EE") given to these new notebooks will apply to your PC as well.  Good luck, they will be hard to find (unless you can find someone with the new laptop - they can burn the recovery disc for you from their mobile phone.

• 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.

• Win 8 used to start the system recovery disk

  No fatcory can reset

  Hello

  You may need to disable Secure Boot and hardware enable in the Menu of the Bios first.

  In addition, if your HARD drive has a GUID partition table, and you want the operating system to boot from the uefi firmware, don't forget to choose the entry for the optical drive that has (uefi) in the boot manager - see "Adding value to recovery disks" in the document of HP on the following link.

• my computer crashed and restored using the system recovery disk. I saved all the files using a .fbw format. I can't read. What should I do?

  My computer crashed while updating. It's a double 4 year old HP desktop processor. I could get into the repair screen, but nothing would be useful. I backed up data (115 GB) using the tools available on a drive hard usb. They are under the folder MINWIN and meet 31 different files. All I get is the demand to put in the disc. I copied the last file on DVD, but it will not read it. All other recovery programs say there is no backup file.

  I have backup, with an extension of FBW 32 files
  Help

  Hello

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop now?

  2 have you tried to reinstall the operating system?
  3. what program did you use to create a backup?
  4. do you get an error code or error message?

  According toOberwald, it seems that fbw files are generated by HP, not Vista backup tool. I suggest you to read the following article to restore files from Microsoft.

  Backup and restore: frequently asked questions:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions

  If you are not able to boot to the desktop, then I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1:
  Start in safe mode and then try to run the restoration of the system to a point before you install the update and check if the problem persists.
  Step 1: Start in SafeMode in Windows 7:

  Step 2: System Restore:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/products/features/system-restore

  Method 2:

  If you used a third-party program, and then try to restore using the same program and check that it works.

  Also check the FAQ from HP or post the question on a forum of HP.

  Hope the information is useful.

• I can create a system recovery disk that gets installed and updated Windows 7, not the preinstalled HP Vista recovery Partition?

  I have a laptop HP HDX 18 that had 64-bit Windows Vista installed, with a Vista recovery on his C drive Partition.  Since then, I installed clean 64-bit Windows 7 Professional of his Microsoft licensed DVD, that I still have.  I kept with all (200 +) of Windows updates.

  Now, I want to create a system (Flash drive) for this laptop recovery disk, but my concern is that he will lead the recovery in its Partition Vista original, installed at the factory.   If I use W7 administration tools installed to create a system recovery disc, it will recover the old Windows Vista or Windows 7?  In addition, it would be nice to have a system recovery disk that had the latest W7.

  I'm not looking to install the drive link below; However, I prefer the system recovery disk to restore my laptop to its W7 system most recently updated, rather than start over.

• System recovery disks do not support this computer

  Two weeks ago, crashed my HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 480 t hard drive model.  It is a 1.5 TB came with the PC.  I bought a WD 1 TB hard drive and installed.  When I used my recovery discs, I received a message, "the system recovery disks do not support this computer.  You are not able to restore this system with these discs. "Because I had never used these recovery discs, I assumed I had their damn so I bought authentic system recovery disks from HP.  Yesterday them - even received training as before.  I called HP tech support and I was told that those recovery disk works with a hard drive that is identical with the original hard drive.  Located between the two hard drives that the original HD had a 3 GB/s, and the new is 6 Gbps.  Is this correct?  They "graciously" offered replacing my new hard drive with a hard drive that works for only $180.  Seems a little steep, but I am confused.  Is system of technical recovery disks?  I would like another opinion.  If buying a new motherboard out me of this?  If someone knows a resolution to my situation, I would be very grateful.  Help!

  Hello

  In fact, you have more options that will avoid spending more in $$. The first thing I would try is the utility that provides HP. It is used for when the set of recovery disks does not work with a new hard drive. Follow the instructions of this web document.

  View your results. If the results are negative, we can install the operating system on your new hard drive with another method.

• 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.

• Re: How can I return the system recovery partition?

  I just used the cd to restore the system and on resetting my system to factory setting, but unfortunately, the system drive on the system recovery partition has been deleted.

  How will re - install the drive to restore system partition?

  Hello

  Do you mean the second Vista partition which contains the backup system files?

  This partition is hidden and usually after installing the OS from the Toshiba Recovery disk this partition must be re-created.

  I m 100% sure because I ve got my cell several times using the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs and the hidden partition is created every time.

• How to order or download the system recovery software?

  Hello

  Most HP laptops already have called the program "recovery manager" that is built into the laptop. This allows each user recover the laptop whenever they need to.

  Now, there are some situations where you can not use the program from the desktop or even during the boot.

  If this is the case for you, I'll post here how to order or download the system recovery software.

  This video is very useful for users who cannot access the recovery Manger in windows or during boot.

  I suggest, if you are unable to download the recovery image on a USB drive to call HP @8004746836. Order a recovery through HP disk might cost if you are no longer under warranty.

  Hope it will be useful.
