• Windows 8.1 using already updated EFI System Partition

  Hi all

  I am about to install Windows 8.1 on my machine. The thing is, I already have Arch linux installed in UEFI mode (discs are focused on the TPG etc.). My setup is as follows:

  -SSH drive with ESP (EFI System Partition) + the Linux partition

  -2 discs of data, not important now

  -1 500 GB HARD drive formatted in NTFS for Windows.

  I want to achieve is to have Windows Installer on 500GB HDD, but use 8.1 pre-existing ESP partition on SSD drive rather than create a new one.

  How would I do that?

  Hello

  Thanks for the quick response. Fortunately, last night found an answer to my question. To illustrate the question I had and the answer I found, I will dwelve on the topic a bit.

  First of all, I was about to install Windows 8.1 on workstation with Arch Linux already installed and hoped to learn before making the actual plant, while I wouldn't fix the mistakes I would have done. My configuration is:

  1. 64 GB SSD drive GPT formatted with two partitions: 512MB, FAT32 formatted the EFI System Partition. This partition serves as my partition/boot, containing the code of EFI GRUB and Linux kernel + iniramfs and of 60 GB + Linux ext4 partition.
  2. 500 GB drive HARD, drive GPT formatted, empty, I was about to install Windows on.

  Now, I learned that Windows 8.1 creates two partitions on a disk: Partition EFI system for its bootstrapper code + other things and another partition. My goal was to convince Windows to use the ESP partition on disk (1) rather than creating its own, so all codes start, regardless of the operating system resides on the same partition for: 1 win some acceleration (that's the SSD drive) and 2. Facilitate the configuration of the boot loader GRUB or Windows for dual-boot.

  I found no option to identify the ESP for Windows partition to use, that's why I posted my question.

  Nevertheless, I proceeded to the installation. Windows has detected all readers, figured out that there is already an ESP partition in the system, but not on the disk, he was about to be installed and has not created any other ESP partition on the HARD disk.

  Now, I have exactly the setup I needed: 8.1 for Windows installed on the HARD disk drive, but he left all the startup code on the partition on the SSD drive. I have configured the GRUB to call code .efi Windows

  It turns out Windows did the right thing automatically without the need for extra configuration, and my question is a bit premature.

  Thanks again for your quick response and have a beautiful day!

• Removed from the UEFI System Partition

  I accidentally deleted my efi partition while I tried to install windows as my laptop was initially rather than windows inside ubuntu. Is it possible to get it back? Currently im inherited the boot.

  Hello yunuj...

  Yes, there is!  You are running Windows on the unit right now, or you can start a copy of Windows?  If so, go to the software and drivers for your system and download page & run the "Environment of Support UEFI" softpaq for your system (you specify system name / model - otherwise I could have provided a link ).  Once this has been done, restart the system and download & run the current SoftPAQ BIOS of your system to fill the files with the BIOS on UEFI system partition recovery.

  Good luck!

• Hidden partition recovery system

  Hello

  I bought Satellite L25-S1217. It has partition COST Windows Home and hidden (I think with the recovery disc). Salt (I think) has formatted the C drive and I don't know how the system of "recovery" of the hidden partition.
  You have any ideas?

  Hello

  You have recovery DVDs with your unit? Laptops in the United States are not known to me, but I put t believe the recovery image is stored on a hidden partition. If yes then it takes an option to create own restore CDs.

  As far as I know immediately Portege M300 was created, hidden partition to the recovery image. If possible check it please with the seller. Otherwise, you can use the facilities of Microsoft CD and then install all the things on your own.

• Partition recovery & system NB250-108

  Hello!
  How can I recover/reinstall the SYSTEM (e) partition on my NB250-108 because I did something stupid and messed up my SYSTEM partition (E :) so that no software resides in this score now.

  The information I want is what should be the Partition sizes for the DATA (d) and SYSTETM (e), what software should I have installed under the SYSTEM partition and is at - it all URLS where I can download it from, this software also must be made bootable? (for recovery system etc.).

  Please note: I'm still all software should I under the partition DATA (d :)) and its single partition SYSTEM (E :) software missing.) I hope not to have to pay for the recovery DVDs!

  Thanks a lot for your help and your suggestions.

  No, you can't download the image of Toshiba.
  If you want to install the Toshiba Recovery disk image, then you must order the CD from here:
  http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  Then you would be able to reinstall the image of Toshiba, but for this you will need an external USB CD/DVD drive.

  The other possibility.
  You could install a fresh Windows 7 operating system with a USB key.
  To do this, you would need something like Wintoflash

  Need driver can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page

• Pavilion dm4: Windows 10 upgrade fails with the message error "we couldn't update the system reserved partition."

  Both HP and Microsoft indicate my laptop was ready for the upgrade to Windows 10, but when I tried to do the upgrade there not - several times - with the error message of Microsoft that "we could not update the system reserved partition."

  What should do?

  Other threads of error indicate the system reserved partition must be larger.  This partition is usually small.  Try making at least 400 MB instead of the 100 MB to 250 MB it is probably now.

• HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC: windows 10 could ' t update the system reserved partition

  Installation Windows 10 leads following on the Windows Update screen:

  Windows 10 could not be installed

  We could not update the system reserved partition.

  What now?

  It worked despite me:

  Don't enter the right amount of space between "/" s, skipped the part attrib by accident, and when I couldn't find the file Explorer options moved the command chkdsk.  As it was for Windows 7 to 8 figurative later may not be necessary.

  Installation failed with code C1900101 (if the memory.)  Seen people on other boards with driver issues, I have disconnected my external monitor and was able to install.

  All right, so thanks.

• I'm a little confused on the merger a system partition and recovery.

  Dear Sir, I deleted my recovery partition (D :). and then it merges with the C: partition, as my C: drive is running out of space done. Remove recovery partition affects operating system or computer or my drive hard. can reinstall the operating system creates a partition recovery any help.)

  Sorry, but no, it's not good. The recovery partition has been created by
  your computer manufacturer. It contains only an image of Windows in
  the State it was in when it left the factory. It is there for you
  to reinstall, should you need or want, and it never changes
  (unless you change - which you should never do).

• Shrink system partition and the HP recovery partition.

  HP Pavilion dv6560el notebook PC

  Windows Vista Home Premium (original OS pre-installed)

  I want to shrink the system (C partition to make room for a new partition (Z.))

  The new partition (Z will be used to store data.)

  The Windows Vista disk management utility, run as administrator (of course), seems unable to reduce the system (C partition ("Access denied" error), both in normal and safe mode.)

  The same failure by using the "DISKPART" utility via the Windows Vista command prompt (run as administrator, of course).

  In order to facilitate the task, is seems (surf the web) which is the procedure to follow:

  -start the computer pressing F8, then enter into the Windows recovery environment.

  -log in as an administrator (of course).

  -Open the Windows Recovery Environment command prompt.

  -use the "DISKPART" utility in the prompt command in the Windows recovery environment, to reduce the system partition.

  -Restart in normal mode.

  -log in as an administrator (of course).

  -create a new partition (Z using the space unallocated drive just obtained by reduction of the system (C partition.))

  -the new (Z partition will be created between the shrunken system (C partition and intact HP recovery (D partition.)))

  Two questions:

  1. the command "DISKPART shrink" work as expected, that is. It will actually decrease the system (C partition, if the "DISKPART" utility is run to the Windows recovery environment, rather than command prompt in Windows Vista itself?)

  2 will be the HP recovery (D partition still operate, IE. the recovery environment Windows will still be available by pressing F8 and still run it if run on the line, if a new (Z partition is placed between the system (C partition and intact HP recovery (D partition itself?))))

  Thanks in advance for the answers.

  You recovery partition is no longer using the F11 key at startup. Burn your DVD recovery set before changing the hard drive somehow.

  Base partition to reduce the partition of Windows 7 front enough so to "Extend" the 350 MB system partition by using the unallocated space created by reducing the Windows partition.

  http://www.partition-tool.com/

  Note: Do not exceed 350 MB as a larger partition and can cause other problems especially after that it exceeds about 375 MB.

• HP envy-1271er: how to create a partition bootable since the recovery in the event of an operating system partition no longer starts

  If I understand well on my HARD drive has a recovery Partition (~ 20 GB) and a bootable recovery Partition (~ 2 GB). During clean installation process of Windows 10 I format the Partition Recovery Bootable but remain intact.

  Is it possible to create the Bootable Partition if Windows 10 is not loaded?

  You can start a Windows 8 or a rescue 10 thumbdrive or multimedia installation.

  You can use it to access a command line where you can use the Diskpart utility to make the partition active.

  Take a read of the next lesson.

• HP Pavilion: Recovery Partition & recovery media

  Hello

  I searched the Forum but have not found exactly what I needed to know.

  I installed a couple of updates to windows, and now no software will open outside of google chrome. Registry appears to be corrupted, and if I get an early state, yet windows seems to have a problem, could used to install anything. So I guess my only way out is to back up my files and perform a system recovery.

  But I have a few questions on the recovery of this system.

  I have a HP Recovery partition, but I never created a recovery disk (it always shows me a reminder), so here are my questions:

  (1) if I create the DVD of recovery (as requested by this reminder of HP), it will remove the recovery Partition?

  (2) if I don't create the recovery DVD and use the HP system recovery, it remove the recovery Partition after recovery?

  (3) if I make the recovery of the system (without DVD), I'll be able to create the recovery DVD after? Will it keep showing me the reminder?

  (4) if I do a recovery of the system (without DVD), will I still be able to use the Recovery Manager software? If I create the DVD, I will still be able to use it?

  I ask this cause I'd rather have my recovery on the HARD drive on a DVD, but I'm afraid that a recovery of the system will delete the partition recovery and software.

• System - F10 recovery does not

  Hello.

  I tried to fix a HP Media Center M7380.

  The XP operating system was damaged during an update of the operating system, it could not start and has been reset permanently.

  At first, I was able to access Recovery Center through F10, but didn't try it until I got a decent backup of the data on the disk.

  Now that I managed to backup of the C: drive, the F10 boot option no longer works, it shows just a black screen.

  The HP Recovery partition is intact, how to create a recovery disc without the installed XP and without the F10 at startup?

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Dave...

  I SOLVED THE PROBLEM, recovery is much better than I hoped.  I will update this thread in hopes that I can be useful to someone else.

  I tried many suggestions provided by the HP site, Google, "10 things to do when Windows XP does not start" et al., without any hope of success.

  With the help of the "Hirens boot disk" I finally discovered that some vital XP files were missing from Windows.  I think that the owner of the computer (a friend) may have attempted to install the software or update the system when it crashed, but I don't have the details of exactly what has been done.

  -The PC would not boot in any mode.

  -The recovery disk provided was for a completely different PC and a different version of windows

  -J' tried to start the recovery console from another drive to install XP, but the recovery was not a permitted option

  After careful consideration and several other solutions attempted, the following managed.

  1 - use the Hirens boot disk to start MiniXP.

  2 - Open a command line.

  3. type C:

  -Press enter

  4 - Type cd windows

  -Press enter

  5 - type "CD Creator.exe" that must be typed with the quotes and space

  -Press enter

  At this point, that an application window for recovery disc creator appeared, option buttons are strangely absent, but I used the key entry instead.

  I was prompted to select 11 CDs or 2 DVDs, I went for 2 DVD

  Two hours (approximately) later I had the necessary recovery discs

  I opted for a recovery of the system rather than the Format and reinstall.

  It completed successfully.

  I made sure that the version of Norton AV trial provided worked.

  I have indication internet, downloaded and installed XP SP3 and all other updates of the system.

  User data (photos, documents, etc. was recovered by)

  -Rename each individual user folder in "C: Documents and Settings" to (for example) Dave143 to Dave143SAVE

  -Creation of the user of the control panel.

  -Login under the user to build (Dave143) user folder "C: Documents and settings".

  -Restart in safe mode and copy the data from the Dave143SAVE folder folders in the Dave143 folder.

  It took me all night for a week, but now I'm happy with the result.  I managed to save several gigabyte of their family photos!

  Don't forget, before you try anything at all, your first priority should be the backup of data.

  Good luck!

  Dave...
