Vista OS & Partition Recovery go

Hello

I have a laptop HP 6720 s I bought the year last March.

I decided that I wanted to put the new installation of Vista out there, but the recovery partition is no longer there, so I have no way to reinstall Vista.

What HP can do?

I really don't want to pay for a Vista installation CD.

Thank you.

You cannot use recovery partition for the 'new' installation of Vista.

Recovery partition can be used to restore the HP Vista instalation to the factory setting.

If you lose this partition and that you don't make the recovery disks, then your option is to call HP, buy recovery discs.

    Hope all this makes sense lol... Thank you

    If you have so much important material best save is to buy an external HARD drive and copy all this stuff here. I recommend buying the small 2.5 external HDD and when necessary, you can take with you and connect to any computer, if you want to view or copy this file. External hard discs connected to other computers with a supplied USB cable.

    Return to your partitions.
    When you use the original Toshiba DVD facilities, you will have 3 partitions.
    WinRE - partition and it belongs to the Vista operating system. This partition is not visible, and this isn't some sort of Toshiba recovery partition
    -C for Vista partition
    Or-d/E to the DATA in the partition. This partition is recorded recovery image in the folder called HDDRecovery
    I don't know what model of laptop you have, but this configuration is on all new Toshiba laptops shipped WITHOUT recovery media.

    Using Toshiba recovery media, you will be able to get exactly mentioned structure of the partitions. Support to recovery facilities using you WILL NOT be able to install Vista on the second partition.

    So if you want to have the dual boot with Windows XP Home edition, you can do following:
    -At first, you are going to install Vista with support of recovery and on the second partition, you are going to install your version of Windows XP Home edition
    -At first you will be installing WXP and then you can install Vista on the second partition, but you must use the Microsoft facilities drive. Recovery media can not be used.

    That's all I can say from my experience with such things.

    Hello

    Hmm, looks like the laptop cannot restore the operating system from the recovery image
    To be honest I'm not very well why this error pops up but eventually it s m related to the new HARD drive installation.

    Perhaps, you can format the HARD drive again using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP, etc.).
    Boot from the CD of Win and format the HARD drive.
    Then go to the recovery disk, boot from the recovery disc and try reinstalling the operating system

    Maybe it would work

    You can use the recovery disk to reinstall Vista on your laptop but as Luke mentioned, the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive. It would erase all partitions on the HARD drive and you will lose also the installed Win 7!

  • Cannot find the partition recovery on the Satellite A200-1BP

    Hello

    First of all, I have a Vista Home Premium 1BP A200 and I lost the product recovery disc and I want to create one with "Recdisc.exe" product of Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator or Vista.

    They both failed because I didn't get a message "No disk HARD recovery Area!", then I looked in the "Disk management" section and could not find any partition without a name.

    There were two primary Partition which were 1.46 GB 'in good condition (EISA Configuration)"and my Vista (c).
    So, what should I do? Can I create a recovery partition?
    Or can I set the Recovery Disc Creator? (v. 5.0.0.5)

    PS: I got my computer several times with my CD, which probably used my recovery partition.
    Seriously, I'm out of ideas and I don't want to lose 50 dollars just to get another copy of disc PR.

    PS2: I used press '0' and 'F8' thing too, they no longer work.
    Is there a way I can restore without any disk?

    It seems that the recovery of HARD drive partition is missing
    The first 1.46 GB partition is automatically created by Vista and the C partition is the system partition, the partition of HARD drive recovery doesn't seem to be available

    > PS: I got my computer several times with my CD, which probably used my recovery partition.
    Retrieve you the Vista using the recovery disc or what drive did you use?

    If you have installed the system using Microsoft Vista disk then, it was a big mistake because it deleted the partition of HARD drive

    > Is there a way I can restore without any disk?
    Either you use a Vista MS disk and missing drivers, which you can download from the Toshiba page or you order the Toshiba Recovery disk don't see another solution

  • Re: Tecra A4 - how to use partition recovery to recover the XP

    I recently bought a laptop Tecra A4.
    Everything was going well until I decided to install windows Vista on it.
    It has become too slow.
    I would like to reinstall the XP that comes with it.

    There is a partition recovery of HARD drive here, but im not a very experienced user I don't know how to proceed.
    I read the user guide on the HARD drive recovery utility, but by pressing 0 at startup did not help.

    Any help would be extremely aprecciated.

    Hello

    Stand by. What recovery on the HARD drive partition do you mean exactly?
    As far as I know Vista has formatted the whole HARD drive and created two partitions; one for the system (partition C) and the second partition for the restoration of the system are hidden (not visible).

    I guess you must restore the supplied XP from the recovery CD Toshiba operating system if you want to install the XP again.
    In my opinion, it's the fact and the quickest way to get back the XP on the laptop ;)

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    I NB200 a customer on the bench. He arrived with complete operating system failure and wouldn't boot from the partition of the OS or the recovery Partition.

    I tried to ask him to start from the TRUNK. INI file by pointing a "revoery" to the partition option, but it just comes up with an error message saying \system32\HAL file is missing or damaged. Does anyone know how I should ask the partition to start or how could I retrieve information from image files?
