ThinkVantage recovery partition deleted

Long story short: I went to install XP Pro on my ThinkPad (that I just got today) because Vista Basic approached programs left and right and just together, go crazy. So now I have no recovery partition, none of the recovery discs, and I have no way to use my computer in addition to Linux because the COA does not work with the other disk of Vista.

Is it possible to recover the partition?

Thank you.

You should have the recovery set before installing XP. Call Lenovo and some recovery discs sent to you. Have your card ready credit.

  • Need your Help_Reformat diskless resettlement and the recovery partition deleted

    Hello.

    Please kindly help me to reformat my laptop G4 2014. Unfortunately I have no recovery disk and my recovery partition is already deleted.

    Thanks in advance for the help that you can give her.

    Just as I said, the web document, I provided the link for you to give options that are available to you.

    You or someone else with access to your laptop made some decisions aware, perhaps unfortunate not to create a recovery media and removal of the recovery partition.

    These decisions lead to choices that can be found on the web document that I you provided a link to.  An alternative is to buy a DVD of installation of Microsoft in the operating system of your choice.

  • HP Mini 110-3730NR, recovery partition deleted

    November 10, 2011

    I bought a HP Mini 110-3730NR laptop a few months back and I started to tinker a bit with it. I downloaded this software called CCleaner and I didn't know what disk wipe was (Yes, stupid me) well anyway, I accidentally erased my recovery partitions and all other files in the drive with it. It's a Windows 7 laptop with no. place to imput a CD. Is it possible to reverse what I've done without having to pay the $ 40.00 dollars more to get a backup thumbdrive? And could I may return it to the store because my warrany expires in September 2012? Please, it is perhaps one of the worst days of my life in more ways than one. Please, have some good news for me.

    Sincerely,
    Trisatan

    Hi, Trisatan:

    I'm sorry to say you are out of luck, and there is nothing you can do.

    If the store will resume, lucky you.

    If not, you can buy a set of recovery disks (if HP even them - I don't see that they do) and a DVD USB external drive to install with.

    Otherwise, you will need to purchase a full OEM or retail version of Windows 7.

  • HP 450-011: delete the recovery partition after upgrade to win 10?

    I have a new HP 450-011 and it came with Win 8.1 and the recovery with the letter D: drive partition.  I did the upgrade to windows 10.  I made a set of recovery DVD for win installation 8.1.  Is there a reason for me not to delete the D: drive and replace it with my information?  I seriously doubt I'll want to roll back to 8.1 Win.

    Greetings,

    Have you tested the Win 8.1 HP Recovery disks before installing Win 10?

    A question is: If you need technical assistance from HP tech for a possible hardware problem. HP normally requires that the factory installed operating system to take in charge. This policy of HP may have changed during the upgrade to win 10. I do not suspect.

    You can export the recovery, Partition because it will not work now in any case.

    But you need a way to go back to win 8.1 when you need HP warranty support.

    Since you have already upgraded to Win 10, the only way to check the recovery of 8.1 Win disks is to use them and start all over again. Or the support of disks/USB recovery HP Win 8.1 on a new equivalent or larger HDD or SSD. A good installation means that you have now the factory install on this disk.

    It's a lot of work.

    The problem of guaranteed support is your problem.

    I have eliminated this problem by installing Win 10 on a new SSD. I have HP Win 8.1 on a separate SSD and win 10 on a different SSD. Possible guarantee problem solution means earn 8.1 running on HP SSD factory to check the problem of winning 10 SSD.

  • x 360: delete the recovery partition after installing Linux

    Hello

    My x 360 laptop with 10 Windows works fine. I just installed Linux dual boot (w. Windows 10) on three new partitions. The scores are as below. E, F, G partitions are Linux.

    I have these questions please:

    1. is the recovery partition (D) no longer, now that I have partitioned the disk? (I did a recovery USB flash drive when I bought the computer)

    2. is it safe to remove the recovery partition (D)?

    3. There is also a small partition of 980 MB. What is c? Is it safe to remove?

    Thank you

    YCC

    Sorry, no.  You can not recover by using the HP Recovery partition after you change the partitioning scheme.

    As it is now, you might as well delete it.

    It will not hurt to remove it now because the HP Recovery works doesn'y work in any case.

    I know Macrium Reflect can backup and restore Windows and Linux distros because I have tried it, myself.

    Good luck

  • 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.

  • Satellite P855 and Win8 - would like to delete the recovery partition

    In fact, I would like to remove the recovery on my new P855 Satellite partition using diskpart. Now I have some problems/uncertainty (of course I have already created the recovery DVDs):

    1: when I look in Disk Management on my Windows 8, there are 2 recovery partitions! a small beginning of the disc (450 MB), a bigger at the end of the disc (8,66 GB). I'm a little confused about this. There is not usually a single recovery partition? Are - this two recovery partitions from toshiba for windows 8?

    2: I read somewhere that it can occure problems with the system by deleting the recovery partition. is there a risk if I delete the above two recovery partitions? (not to mention that I don't have the recovery of files on the hard drive more) May - so that it affects the stability or the ability of the system?

    As I don't want to take the risk, I crash my system, I hope that someone knows about it!

    Thank you guys

    see you soon
    kDar

    And why you want to delete the recovery partition?
    Its best to leave it as it is in case, you want to retrieve the computer laptop back to factory settings.

    > 1: Whe I look in Disk Management on my Windows 8, there are 2 recovery partitions! a small beginning of the disc (450 MB), a bigger at the end of the disc (8,66 GB).

    I guess that one was created by Win 8. It contains the files to fix the system in case something would be a mistake of the last partition seems to be Toshiba that contains the recovery image files.

    Deletion of partition of Toshiba should not (usually) affects the ability of the system to the laptop, but nevertheless, you must create a recovery disk before you remove anything on the HARD drive.
    The recovery disc will return to the factory settings in case, that the system could be confused to the top.

  • Satellite A665 - accidentally deleted my recovery partition

    I accidentally deleted my partition restoration for TOSHIBA SATELLITE A665 LAPTOP.
    Would I be able to create a partition for recovery with the same content again?
    If so, how?... really confused...

    Should I buy a new recovery disk because when I bought my laptop I did not receive any recovery disk...
    I'll be able to get my laptop as it was before?

    Hello

    Do not have recovery disks because there is a pre-installed software called Toshiba Recovery Media Creator who creates these discs.
    But it must be created in the first day of the purchase, I assume that you will not be able to create this disc now because the partition (which contains the image files) has been removed.
    So now, you will need to purchase the recovery (about 30) disk in order to recover the laptop. After that the recovery partition should be available again.

    > There must be a way to astablisch the link with the partition and the wizard again.
    Unfortunately, this is not possible. It works with the factory only settings and if you delete or format something related to the recovery partition you won't access more.

    I presume you didn't create recovery USB stick, right?
    All you can do now is to order the recovery on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx disc and install it using external ODD.

    You cannot restore the recovery partition. It can be restored if you use the DVD of initial recovery for the installation of the OS. In this case, everything will be like before.
