The wrongly cloned HARD drive recovery

Hello everyone,

Instead of using a third-party cloning software, I tried to clone my drive with disk utility. After restart my laptop, I went into recovery by using the command-R and used disk utility menu in this menu. However, I accidentally chose the empty as the source disk Hd and the Macintosh Hd as the destination. I started the process, but in 10 seconds my laptop over cloning. Now I have two empty disks. I tried to restart my system but my whole data were missing. I stopped using it and immediately deleted. Is it possible to restore my drive? I tried 3 data rescue, but my whole files in over 26 thousand records without name. It is very difficult to sort and on top of that, I have really no idea about the collection again correctly my archives 'Photos '. Is there anyone who had this experience? What should I do? Not all recovery software of this kind of recovery with thousands of anonymous records?

Now, I run my middle 2012 non-retine Macbook Pro 15 "with a new Hd I use El Capitan 10.11.5, if that's important. And also the other drive that I deleted in a box for external drive.

There is also a thing. It's really very easy to delete our internal drives. Just restart your computer, then press command-r to start the recovery mode. You can clone an empty drive to your home without any problem. Utility disk never asked me my password before cloning. Attackers can erase your data all in 10 seconds. It's really disappointing. I admit it's my mistake, but it does not that much easy to delete my entire drive.

Thanks in advance and I hope that Apple can solve the problem and may make it difficult to erase drive in recovery mode.

Apple not to specialize in data recovery, they will probably refer you to someone else.

  • What is the function of hard drive recovery?

    A recovery disk drive is installed by major computer manufacturers (by example, Acer, Dell, Gateway, HP, etc.) and contains the information necessary to return the hard drive from the original computer to its factory configuration.  For example, if you were to read the Guide to the user supplied with your PC and your PC originally came with Windows Vista preinstalled at the factory, the user's Guide would teach you how to use the recovery disk to reformat the hard drive and reinstall Windows Vista.

  • Satellite L500-1XL: catering on the day of the purchase using HARD drive recovery

    Is this possible?

    I'm trying to restore my laptop to this day of purchase (only a month today). From what I see on the forum, I'm just in a long line of us discovered that the version of our recovery DVD does not match the product we bought. This is why I would like to restore the 64-bit version (without the option out of order price of recovery media that is shockingly overpriced compared the offer from Microsoft to switch to DVD 64-32 / 32-64 bit more shipping costs).

    () This brand of righteous 'aid' is subjective, condescending and above all and most relevant to this forum is useless. "I don't understand why you don't save up to 5,000 copies the day of purchase"... etc. We all make mistakes, and if you have done one, you're going to do on new. It's nice when the person we meet at this time is not pointing the finger of judgement)))

    > So, I would restore the 64-bit version (without the option out of order price of recovery media that is shockingly overpriced compared the offer from Microsoft to switch to DVD 64-32 / 32-64 bit more shipping costs).

    The laptop came pre-installed with Win 7 64 bit. In addition, you have the recovery disk Toshiba version of Win 7 32 bit.

    Please take a look in the user manual.
    He says that you can create a recovery in addition to the operating system which was pre-installed disk. means Win 7 64 bit.
    There should be a Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator called preinstalled tool. This tool allows to create own 64 bit Windows 7 new recovery disc.
    After you create this disk, you can use it to put the laptop in the same State as on the first day of purchase.

  • Instead of the wizard of recovery HARD drive recovery

    Dear all,

    I would like to re - install the OS on my Satellite Pro T130 laptop without changing the partitions. This is possible with the http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm Recovery Wizard

    However, when I boot my laptop with the Advanced Boot Menu (F8), I think the recovery menu of disk in the System Recovery Options, no recovery Wizard.

    I tried to start this wizard by starting the computer with the button zero (0) at the top, but it did not work. I closed the windows, pushed and held 0, turned on my laptop, when Toshiba logo appeared I sill held the key zero and instead of the Recovery Wizard, open windows.

    I tried at least 10 times and it's getting frustrating.

    I bought this laptop in Hungary in 2010.
    I was wondering that Toshiba offers the two (HDD Recovery + Recovery Wizard) on their laptops or older laptops recovery options came with only HDD Recovery?

    If the start procedure with the zero key does not work, what can I do?

    In addition, I understand the difference between HARD drive recovery and Recovery Wizard is as follows: (please, correct me if I'm wrong)

    HARD drive recovery is re-definition of the manufacturer State which means that it removes all the data in each partition. When you turn on the laptop first time computer, a wizard will appear so you can partition the hard drive. As out-of-box + customization option in the Recovery Wizard.

    Recovery Wizard has three options: out of area (described previously), customization of partitions and recovery without changing the hard drive partitions. I want to use this option, so will not delete all the data of the first partition of the hard disk (drive C). Is no data on other partitions like D, E (etc.) readers.

    Am I wrong?

    Thank you for your answers,

    Kind regards

    Hello

    According to the specifications of the laptop this Satellite Pro was offered with the version preinstalled Win7 and Windows XP Home edition recovery DVDs. Win7 preloaded includes preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator tool so the laptop owner can create recovery (bootable USB key) media which includes the original image of recovery for Win7. This bootable USB key can be used for recovery image installation if there is a problem with the installation of HARD drive recovery.

    As I see you have a problem with the installation of HARD drive recovery, so my question is: did you create this recovery media? You, and you can use it for installing Win7?
    > However, when I boot my laptop with the Advanced Boot Menu (F8), I only find the recovery menu of disk in the System Recovery Options, no recovery Wizard.
    Toshiba HDD Recovery option in the system recovery options will be available if phone has settings to factory only.
    > I tried to start this wizard by starting the computer with the button zero (0) at the top, but it did not work. I closed the windows, pushed and held 0, turned on my laptop, when Toshiba logo appeared I sill held the key zero and instead of the Recovery Wizard, open windows.
    Why don't you use zero to startup? Where did you find the description that you use NRA to launch the installation of HARD drive recovery? I can see in the document validated by Toshiba, you need to use F8 only. When you use F8 and enter advanced startup options is option fix my computer available or not?
    > I asked Toshiba offers the two (HDD Recovery + Recovery Wizard) of the recovery options on their laptops or older laptops with single HDD Recovery?
    All portable Toshiba offered with Win7 preinstalled have Toshiba HDD recovery option but only if they have the factory settings. If the owner of the laptop installation version of the OS option no longer available. In this case, you can install original recovery image using recovery media created.

    From my experience, you should only use the out-of-box option. Be careful with the other options. Recover a custom size partition may lose all the data and recovery image too.

    More important is: you have a recovery (USB or DVD) media or not?

  • Satellite T130 - failed to restart after HARD drive recovery

    Hello

    I used the Toshiba HDD Recovery tool for reinstall windows 7 on a recovery partition. Everything went well until the end when the pc restarted and would not restart. So now that I'm stuck, I can't access f8 more.

    Any suggestion?

    Thank you

    Hello

    And what exactly is happening now? You have a black screen?

    To me that sounds like it, something goes wrong in the installation of HARD drive recovery then I recommend reinstall Windows again since the middle of recovery that you created on USB or external CD/DVD drive. This can restore Windows again.

    Theoretically, it could also be a hardware problem but I would try the middle of recovery recovery facility that s my personal opinion. ;)

  • Portege won't go in HARD drive recovery

    Hello
    I have a laptop Portege that I want to get back to the default settings after news of windows 7 has been installed on the system. I did it in the past of the system while now the key 0 down however now I see when I do it is the label of "HARD Drive Recovery Mode" down left and then the operating system loads normally.

    No idea what is the problem here? How can I force the recovery process?
    (I don't see the recovery partition in Windows.)
    Thank you
    Erez.

    Hello

    HARD drive recovery option is available when the laptop to factory settings.
    >... after a new of windows 7 has been installed on the system.
    If you have installed your own Windows version HARD drive recovery option is no longer available.
    In this case, you can install original recovery image using recovery media (DVD).
    You have created the media according to the instructions described in the user s manuals document?

  • Portege M300 (PPM30A) - lost access to HARD drive recovery

    Portege M300 model PPM30A-02E001.
    At some point during the installation a Sony camera I lost access to my hidden partition (HDDRECOVERY) where I can make the recovery disks.

    I can see it in disk management tools, but the link is missing.

    Is there a way I can make the link? "Brand recovery disc" icon is gone as well.

    Please, I beg you.

    Hello

    Wait a moment, please: why you write about on the hidden partition HARD drive recovery? I think you mixed up something!
    On Vista and Windows 7, there is a hidden partition, but it has nothing to do with the option HDDrecovery from Toshiba. This on the hidden partition is a feature of Windows, also called Windows recovery environment!

    Normally HDDrecovery files are stored on the second partition in a file of the same name. Can you access the second partition?

    If this isn't the case, I think the only chance is to order a new recovery disk. Therefore, you must contact the service provider authorized in your country.

    Yes, you can get it back to factory settings. You can only do so in a way: you must use the recovery DVDs. Have you created this disk?

    Please don t mix Windows repair disk and recovery disk. For now you can not repair anything. What you need to do is clean installation of image recovery.

  • Satellite L670 - the system HARD drive recovery does not start

    Hello together,

    I have a problem with my laptop. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, that the laptop came with Win7 Home Premium 32 bit.
    Now I want to restore the original Windows Home Premium. On the laptop is a second partition with a folder named "disk HARD recovery.

    When I hold the button '0' on start nothing happens. The beginning of doesn´t of system recovery.

    Can you help fix the problem.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Hello

    This does not work because you have installed Win 7 64 bit as you said here:
    > I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, that the laptop came with Win7 Home Premium 32 bit.
    But have you tried also pressing F8-> fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery?
    Try this

    Otherwise, drive HARD recovery does not work because the boot manager has been changed or damaged as a result of the new install of Win 7 and this is why you cannot load HARD drive recovery.
    That is why it s always recommended to create a recovery disc before changing anything on the HARD drive.

    What to tell buddy you need recovery disks. I guess that you have a European model for laptop

    You can order the recovery discs here:

  • Qosmio F50 - the hard drive recovery?

    Hello

    I had a very big problem.
    I've made a few changes with my Vista regs and then I was unable to start again.
    So, I started the recovery program (second HARD drive), backed up my files and selected whole HARD drive recovery.

    Well, now problem - everything was going well, but when I walked into the Vista installation I had to shut down the computer.
    Now, when I start up the pc and load Vista I message I need to reinstall my computer again.

    Well, they say nothing about how load the recovery file but I have no option for this - only emergency mode, with the support of network, etc., but without recovery emergency. Moreover, when I select emergency mode, I can't load Vista-it says I need to run the Setup in normal mode, which told to re - install. Yep, circle-_-.

    Model: Qosmio F50

    Do you think that when I erase all the Vista disc manually - for example with linux, and then start the computer, I get a possibility to load the second part of the drive to start the installation?

    Thanks in advance because I'm really despair

    Usually, it is a procedure how to start the Toshiba HDD recovery.
