• Satellite Pro A300 - how to access the installation of Vista hidden partition?

  AHOY!

  I have a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA 2000R

  It had Windows Vista installed when I got it, but after a while, had to reformat, so I did, (I want to reformat my computer every 6-12 months on average), it came only with XP disks even if he got a serial number for Vista on the underside of the laptop so I installed XP. That was about 2-3 reformats there now.

  However, so that finding drivers I've seen mention of a hidden partition to reinstall Vista (which I hope it is 64-bit) and tried to do this several times but unfortunately it does not work, I guess that maybe what XP installation I can accidentally deleted or something? (Thought they had in fact on some solid state memory which could not be written more or something.)

  * Is there a way I can access it, take another that won't cost a ridiculous amount (for example download) or a nice person enough to create an image to download on a site or something that I can download file sharing? *

  I have also a spare copy of Vista (and a bit of XP) on the drive, none of them will work?

  + Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop? Apparently it improved performance on Vista and W7 would be convenient for running on a laptop, and I have also heard say it is possible to upgrade to the full version of the preview or W7 for a minimal cost and would probably be much cheaper than other methods if possible. +

  And I'm actually quite handy with computers, so don't be afraid to throw big words at me,

  (Tried the methods found on the manual on page 3-8 ([link: http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/pro/a300/psagda-02000r/download?os=22]).)

  I have European A300 and I believe that the principle on the rest of the same models.
  A300 was offered with Vista preinstalled but without recovery disc Vista. Image that contains the operating system, drivers, tools and utilities for recovery has been saved on the HARD drive and with book factory owner was able to begin the installation of HARD drive recovery. It works with the factory only settings.

  With preinstalled Toshiba laptop recovery disk creator owners have been able to create the recovery disk that can be used if the disk HARD recovery doesn't work anymore.
  If you don t have access to this image saved on HARD drive recovery, you must use the recovery disc. If you don t have the disc that you have a problem. Recovery image can not be downloaded. All you can download are the unique rivers, tools and utilities that you can use if you install a clean version of the OS (operating system).
  On the European models, recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDrecovery.

  Anyway, A300 works with Win7 32 bit. I installed it on my machine and I m very happy with it.
  > Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop?
  I put t know who should give you this overview, but the fact is that you get it from Toshiba. You should check if you can get it in another way.

• Satellite A200-10W: can I collect if I delete the hidden partition

  I think Linux installation on my toshiba laptop, but before I do that I have a few questions.

  I noticed I can do with my recovery dvd recovery, but I also have a hidden partition on the HARD drive.
  If I install linux (and modify the original scores) can I still make recovery from recovery DVD I got with my new laptop?
  (If I can't do what are my options to install linux and always perform a recovery to Vista later?)

  Hi Luka

  Yes, you will be able to recover the laptop back to factory settings if you delete the hidden partition.
  In this case, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery CD to get to factory settings.
  The hidden partition is used by Vista. Vista uses this partition for some backups and repair opportunities.
  The use of the recovery CD will format the whole HARD drive and also create the partition hidden too.

• Qosmio G20: Is there a hidden partition on HDD1 for QosmioPlayer?

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio G20 and I noticed that the BIOS indicates HDD1 95 GB HDD2 is 100 GB (as it should). Is there anyone else who have experienced this problem or is my HDD1 damaged or is there a hidden partition?

  If there is a hidden partition - how to remove? (I really don't see the point with QosmioPlayer).

  / Henrik

  Hello

  AFAIK the Qosmio Player is pre-installed on the hidden partition.
  It is perhaps a reason for different size of HARD drive.

  The disk format HARD completely should remove the hidden partition and Qosmio player. But this procedure is not recommended.

  Hi wsb123,

  (> Partition-1 1.46 GB Active recovery) hidden
  It's the Windows recovery environment partition. On this HARD drive are for the repair of the system files if Windows can start t more. It s a Windows feature and has nothing to do with Toshiba. This partition, you can find on all installations of Windows 7.
  -Online http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Recovery_Environment

  > Partition-2 580 active GB (drive c)
  With other words, the primary partition because on it a Windows is installed with all your files. Nothing unusual ;)

  > partition-3 12.5 GB Active (HIdden) (know toshiba recovery thing is here)
  As you have already written s the Toshiba Recovery for file recovery partition.

  So I t understand the problem. Everything is normal, and if you install Windows recovery disk you have at least 3 partitions.

• Re: How to start the recovery from the hidden partition?

  Sorry for my English.

  I reinstalled Windows from DVD Windows (win Vista) because I get blue screen sometimes. After the reinstallation, I had the same problem again.
  Now the shop wants to charge me for the service because recovery F8 does not work. I still have this hidden partition, but I put t know how to do the recovery. Any chance of fixing the problem?

  I don t care about the data and the blue screen, I think than is hardware problem.
  Thank you

  Hello

  Now you have the problem. You can start the recovery folder HDDRecovery facility just if your laptop has the factory settings.
  When you use Microsoft facilities disk for the installation of the operating system, this option will be gone.

  You have created recovery DVD such as recommended by Toshiba?

• 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.

• Satellite L300 - I can recover from the hidden partition

  Hello

  The vista on my L300 will not start.

  I try to use the modem for the first time, but he could not communicate with the line. So I delete in "Device Manager".

  After the reboot, vista boot screen appears only for 3 seconds then restart the laptop. There is no way, no safe mode...

  Contact the hd as an external drive XP say 'unknown' 0 bytes, with Linux just like named 'vista' and I could open all the files.

  I have no recovery. DVD burning with the Toshiba Recovery program has failed tree times and so I give up.

  the hidden partition is ok. On my laptop from a different manufacture, I can recover from this hidden partition. Is it possible to do it on my L300?

  Thanks for the information

  Thorsten

  Hello!

  The hidden partition you want to say has nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery image.
  There are files for system restore, and it is a feature of Vista, not Toshiba. If you want more information about the restore of the system here is a good article from Wikipedia:
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/WinRE

  The HARD drive recovery folder contains the original recovery image and if you don t have access to this folder and do not burn the recovery disc, you need a new.
  You can get one from an ASP, but you can also order a disc here:

• Re: Update disk hard Equium A200-196 - hidden partition

  Having bought just my A200-196, I realize the original 80 GB hard drive will not be soon enough. I want to update before I add too much software. Question is what I do on the hidden partition "EISA Configuration". I guess if it is not present I won't be able to do a system restore. I don't know if I need to copy (clone) for the new 160 GB drive and if so what utility used to copy. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
  Richard

  You are right. Vista operating system creates two partitions; one for the operating system and the other (hidden partition) for the restoration of the system.
  If you delete this partition, then you will not be able to use Vista's system restore feature

• How to release the hidden partition

  My key recovery tool is not necessary, so I uninstalled it my idea Notebook 500 Lenovo.

  Now again 22GB are consomed by "someghing" - potentially a hidden, partition created by onekey recovery tool I've ever wanted.

  My idea book has 128 GB SSD drive and he told me that only 105 GB are put at my disposal. How can I make more memory available?

  Thank you.

  Hi oliver_bu,

  Welcome to the Community Forums.

  Heads up, remove the recovery partition voluntarily would be to cancel your request for recovery software.
  Either you create a recovery drive / clone or buy recovery media to recover your Windows 10.

  Thanks Rodtolan. It seems that it is not a partition problem. I think I have a bios or the system board problem.

• Does anyone know how to access the hidden partition in a Sony Vaio VGCRA830G desk top?

  The Sony Vaio VGCRA830G integrates a backup partition in which you can restore your entire system without having to insert the discs I think? I tried to enter the Recovery Wizard, but it says that it cannot find the path. Anyone know how to get into this hidden partition, or find the path to the files, where is the path of the wizard?

  See if it's useful:

• The hidden partition

  Hi dear,

  I'm here looking for a solution for my problem restore acer Apire E1-571.

  I bought this laptop as refurbished store Curry with 8 pre-installed windows.

  After that the first boot and windows update, I immediately created WindowsImgageBackup on external hard drive.

  For reasons couldn't start windows. Then I created a windows recovery CD a friend 8 and through the recovery options. Auto repair all, refresh and delete everything and reinstall windows are failed one after the other. Then to restore the WindowsImageBackup Windows. At the end of the process got "Windows successfully restored" to this day, that the backup was created.

  To restart windows, it has managed to pass the acer logo and got a flashing screen and never goes out of this screen.

  Then I managed to with help from someone on the net to pass through the former function of F8 and run windows Safe Mode, and it has begun to find mode safe mode with active network.

  I went to settings of computer laptop-general update or reinstall from there, but get error message says 'there are some missing files, your recovery media will provide these files'. Of course, I have no recovery media! Have one, will cost me £60 and 14 working days as I told by acer support.

  The problem is that the hard disk 16 GB hidden recovery partition created by acer. I ran the DISKPART command to CLEAR the hidden attribute to create the recovery from it, media but CLEAR command never works with this partition despite test it with other partitions and it works fine.

  Is it possible to not hidden this partition and create the installation OR acer media make it impossible to get the 60 books of clients despite the payment of pray complete product including the HIDDEN PARTITION at the time of the purchase?

  Note: All assistance should consider my laptop works ONLY in Mode safe mode with network enable and can access the internet by any download but not all facilities!

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  As if in response your other post, I suggest that you try this link to view these scores of Win8 explore using the command diskpart as administrator. You can then transfer them to a USB stick and use it for recovery.

  The question I have is this. How can I get which is hidden or masked? and everything back to normal. I'm ready to reinstall if necessary. Help, please.

  http://www.Acer.com/worldwide/support/index.htm

  You will need to discuss with Acer as to how you can hide their originally hidden restore Partition...

  You have installed Vista differently from how it was done in the factory, and how it's done using their recovery Options.

  They installed the recovery partition, not Microsoft.
