  Nice day.

  Hello

  It is not possible to reconstruct the OEM recovery partition using a different operating system.

  8.1 win has a few available recovery options:

  Create a custom Refresh Image.

  Create a USB Microsoft recovery discto use when your PC does not start or your HARD drive fails. Note, you will not be able to access Recovery Manager from HP that you have upgraded from Vista to Win 8.1.

  Create an image of Microsoft Systemon the external backup media.

• Creation of recovery Partition on another OS disks

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  "HP Pavilion dv3655ee Entertainment Notebook PC
  Product number: fw750ea
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Hello

  My laptop came with Vista pre-installed 32-bit windows, but later, I installed a new copy of Windows 7 (32Bits), without the recovery disks. Now I want to go back to vista, I still have the D Partition that contains the files for recovery, but goes to F11 does not help me.

  After doing some research, I discovered that people were able to start in the successfully recovery partition after changing the drive to "active partition". But that did not help me.

  Any suggessions on how to make the D partition within windows recovery disc 7 and then use these discs to install the original OS back?

  Thanks in advance!

  I came across the solution finally! (At least worked for me fine)
  Ref: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and/Re-F11-HP-recovery-doesn-t-boot-into-recovery-partition/td-p/217062

  I'll just write down my problem and get the detailed procedure of the solution for someone who lands directly on this post

  Problem:
  My hp laptop came with pre-installed vista, I installed a new copy of Windows 7 top without the recovery disks, but the recovery partition is still there. However, I'm unable to use the F11 option at the start of the goto system recovery.

  Solution:

  I downloaded, installed & registered: Paragon Backup Recovery (free) software
  Then, I open the software and created a Startup disk from the menu 'Tools'.

  After that, I started my laptop with this drive.
  At startup, the disc gives you options 2 and 3, the last option was to select "look for other OS on your PC" that one:
  He found two OS for me
  Windows Vista
  Windows Vista (Recovery)

  I chose windows vista (Recovery) option and it starts to repair the system directly.
  From there on, I chose Windows 7 (the current operating system on the system) and sailed for repair options.
  The last option in the list was "Recovery Manager"
  In the HP Recovery Manager , I chose 'System Recovery'
  It took about 20 minutes
  Fact... !

  Don't forget to do the recovery discs this time to avoid this in the future!

  ----------------------
  Other solutions possible that I came on during my research: (both solutions did not work for me)

  1. install the new windows 7 so-called removes the features of F11
  Download and install this patch from HP for the problem of the F11 at startup.

  2. If you can't find the option to restore the system using the recovery on your pc partition
  Right click on my computer -> Manage -> Disk managementt-> right click the recovery drive and set as "Active Partition"-> Reboot and automatically it brings you to the system restore.

  If you have any questions after repeating the solution in step 2 as windows does not start, you can use the link below to fix the problem:

• How to make a windows vista recovery partition

  Hi I have a windows vista desktop computer and I need to do a recovery partition. There is currently no a. How can I make one? My computer has slowed down at the stop and I need recovered

  Hello

  You can't do a recovery Partition.

  A recovery partition is copied onto your hard drive from the computer manufacturer at their factory.

  If you do not have to purchase recovery disc are to make sure that you do not have alreasdy have a recovery hard disk Partition?

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• I can create a system recovery disk that gets installed and updated Windows 7, not the preinstalled HP Vista recovery Partition?

  I have a laptop HP HDX 18 that had 64-bit Windows Vista installed, with a Vista recovery on his C drive Partition.  Since then, I installed clean 64-bit Windows 7 Professional of his Microsoft licensed DVD, that I still have.  I kept with all (200 +) of Windows updates.

  Now, I want to create a system (Flash drive) for this laptop recovery disk, but my concern is that he will lead the recovery in its Partition Vista original, installed at the factory.   If I use W7 administration tools installed to create a system recovery disc, it will recover the old Windows Vista or Windows 7?  In addition, it would be nice to have a system recovery disk that had the latest W7.

  I'm not looking to install the drive link below; However, I prefer the system recovery disk to restore my laptop to its W7 system most recently updated, rather than start over.

  Read the General information below on the recovery of Partitions and recovery discs and contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  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.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  You can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

• Recovery partition: is this Dell or Windows 7?

  It is a healthy GB 10,89 (System, active, primary Partition). No drive letter. No file system not listed in management of the disks, but Easeus Partition Master identifies as NTFS with 6.7 GB used.

  Is there a Windows 7 partition or partition of Dell. Dell DataSafe local backup cannot detect what he calls "The recovery Partition" because I cloned the original of this drive, so if it's Dell, I don't need and that it will try to remove it.

  Any help figure this out will be appreciated!

  Rob

  There is a much easier method to transfer the initialization routines for the Patition of recovery Dell to the operating system Partition. First of all, I will explain why I wanted to get rid of the recovery Partiion.

  I have a new Dell XPS, delivered with a small hard drive (did not more great disc because they are much cheaper online independently). First of all, I have everything are saved on a USB drive external using Paragon & Recovery Suite 10 and restored to full disk / partition images for the new hard drive. The new hard drive was big I wanted to do 3 separate partitions - 1 for the operating system and the program files and the other 2 for data files. Unfortunately the Dell pre-loaded count utility and recovery Partitions to the limit of 4 scores per disc so I had 2 leave available are I was to keep the two partitions of Dell. After first verifying the Dell recovery Partition was stored outside and duplicate, I then deleted the partion via Paragon but quickly found computer wouldn't boot. Course of restoration the recovery via Paragon Partition has not fixed the problem, I think because I did not take the extra step to mark the non deleted partition 'Active'. Then, I started from the Paragon recovery CD and restored the recovery Partition from a backup on external USB disk. Started computer then fine. This may seem a bit messy but I was on a "learning curve" and the whole of the restoration of a work boot partition process took less than 30 minutes.

  I still need to get rid of the recovery Partition, not because of problems of space, but due to the limit of the partition of 4 described above. As I did it was simple and required no all downloads, burning a cd of BING or the use of Regedit. BTW, I use Windows 7 64-bit edition but I understand the process for 32 bit ver of Win 7 and Win Vista is very similar:

  From the Start button, type "Command" in the search screen and click on the command line option to display a screen to type BACK.

  The type of command prompt resulting: Bcdboot c:\windows /s c:

  In example above, assuming that the operating system partition is drive c: and the startup routines are located in the default location (C:\Windows) it is assumed user requires the c: drive to become hance bootable "c:" after the "/ s". Syntax help is available by typing: Bcdboot /?

  Next step is to use the disk management utility to mark the partition (set at the factory to C: on my new Dell) operating system to 'Assets', which will also mark the recovery Partition Dell as "inactive". Disk management can be invoked in Win7 via control panel - system and safety - administrative tools - computer management - disk management or (shorter) using the Start button and type DISKMGMT. MSC in the search line.

  After changing the partition active, check that the computer will boot successfully with the Dell recovery Partition inactive. The unwanted recovery partition can then be removed. The entire process using Bcdboot and disk management only took about 5 minutes.

  As a general comment, I think that the Dell recovery Partition is really useful only during the first months of the use of a new computer because its use is very destructive of the data changes and the user, at least for those who have not created an extra partition to separate the data files of the operating system. Indeed, it performs a "factory reset" on the computer, so anyone using this recovery option months or years "down the line" will then spend many hours re-installing software, download patches and recover files of data which is held on the OS partition. Much better, imo, to run backups of normal on an external disk partition and the restoration of their share. A tip I could offer in this regard is to keep the old hard disks when upgrading disk or replacement of a pc and buy a box of cheap discs (aka disc cart) to mount the old hdd as a USB stick, perfect for storage of backups and should be detached from the computer after backup has run (and preferably stored in another room (, ideally in another building). In this way, it is relatively quick and easy to recover from a failed hard drive or corrupt the OS. There are a number of backup programs relatively inexpensive which generate full disk / partition including 2 images I used - Paragon and Acronis. Any backup program you choose, make sure you create a "recovery CD" so that the system can be launched and the backup software went without an operating system.

• Extract Vista recovery DVDs

  Hi, I would like to know (before you try) if it is possible for "extract" the Vista version of my restore disk, if so please post a clue on how to start.
  If this isn't the case, would it be possible to use the recovery disk without changing my Partitions.

  After the first installation, I changed the size of the disk partition to a more than useful setting instead of divide 160 GB in two parts. It is, when you use recovery 'as-is' my partitions are back from the original size. Pls post for help here, there must be a way to NOT lose all data after Vista hangs or crashes.

  Thanks in advance, Tuurtje

  Hello

  As MrPacman mentioned, the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs can not be extracted. The image on the recovery CD file is secure and I know it s not possible to open it using a tool like for example; Norton Ghost.

  The use of recovery DVDs will format the whole HARD disk and re-create the hidden Vista recovery partition and the system on the HARD drive partition.
  Simply said, the recovery CD redefines the laptop to factory settings.

  So, if you have important data and files on the HARD drive, backup it first before recovering.

• Windows 7 recovery partition and Hp

  Hello! I have a Hp pavilion dv7 with a recovery partition. IM currently on family vista premium, but if I buy windows 7, the installation will remove the vista recovery partition? If so, what can I do to keep it?

  (And if I buy 7, it is possible to descend the slope to vista?)

  Please answer!

  1. When you install W7 that does not alter the recovery partition, unless you choose to do so.

  2 burn your recovery DVD set before moving to Win 7. then it's a matter of booting from them to reinstall Vista, if you want.

• 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

  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.
