  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.

  Resetyour PC.

• Windows vista recovery disk.

  My hard drive crashed recently. Fearing the worst, I bought a new drive hard by I am unable to find my recovery disk. I always have my validation code. I got my computer to reboot, but I don't want to take any chances with the old hard drive. Is it possible that I can do a windows recovery disc, so I can run on the new drive before he decides to hang again. Also, I contacted the manufacturer and they said they no longer offer the vista recovery disks.

  Standard support vof vista is complete.  You may be able to get a dvd of Vista but if vista came pre-installed you will need to find an OEM copy.  I doubt you'll find one.  Might want to try eBay (but make sure that it is legitimate)

  If you can't find one that maybe this is the time for you to upgrade to win 7.

• Strange problem with Windows Vista / & Dual Boot of Win 7, Vista is there, but is not...

  I have sucessfully partioned primary SATA drive in my old Dell XPS desktop computer for 1 year so I could dual-boot between Visat & Win 7, but that the process be re-sizing / partitioning, or installing Windows 7 posed problem with dual booting (MBR) which I was able to fix via the process of startup repair & recovery.

  Unfortunately, when I try to boot into Vista from the Boot Manager screen, I can get as far as the Welcome screen and then the screen turns white.  At some point, I think I saw an error message referring to a bad or Rundll file missing (I think it is)

  However, if the blank screen, I can do a Ctrl-alt-del and bring up the options menu to lock the computer, switch users, log, change password or start the Task Manager.  When I select the Task Manager, I see several Services & processes running.  It seems that Vista is running, but I can't do it...

  If I select log-off, I get the newspaper colorful off the screen.

  Any idea?

  Should I continue with the process of startup repair & recover?  I don't think the fix bootrec applies more, correct?   In addition, I unfortunately do not have the CD original Vista because it is a Dell system with all the stuff of recovery on the hard drive... (GRRRR!  ) which I think is a no recovery before I changed them were leaving...

  Thank you!

  Try this for Vista startup repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.

• Portege R600 Vista Recovery disk

  Hello world

  Is a possible way to recovery vista recover disk from toshiba?

  I have the recovery disk xp that comes with my toshiba r600, but is there a way to get the toshiba vista recovery disk? Download? or something?
  I didn't create drive recovery with vista... so is he lost? I do not really need vista OS but just in case, is it possible to recover it?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  What OS came preinstalled on your Portege R600?
  Was it Vista?

  If so there should be an option that allows you to create a recovery disk.
  You can use the preinstalled called creator Toshiba Recovery disk which is able to create the recovery disk.

  But if you have already formatted the HARD drive then you will not be able to create this disc of recovery :(

  In this case, you should check this page:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

• On Portege M400 Vista recovery disc creation

  I upgraded a M400 that came with XP to Vista Business. The Toshiba Recovery disk utility delivers a message 'no partition found HARD disk'. The management console displays a recovery partition - but there probably still recovery XP info.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to transfer in a Vista recovery image in this partition? Is this available at Toshiba somewhere in the world? I can get my tech support people to hunt it if we know that there are...
  See you soon

  Hello

  Maybe you should correctly format the drive and delete all partitions with an external program (like UBCD-> "Ultimate Boot CD") and then try again.

  It may be that the XP recovery partition blocks the new recovery/installation process.

  If I were you, I would try this format-thingy.

  If not, take another HARD disk and try with that. ;)

• Vista recovery disks do not display TOSHIBA HDD Recovery option

  Back to school for 4 children with laptops is a pain, he seems to be constantly before wipe them and their establishment again.

  Any ideas why the Vista recovery disks do not display TOSHIBA HARD drive recovery option?

  I made a USB key and copied all the files from a backup of the Recvery drive to it. The USB displays the TOSHIBA HDD Recovery option but calls for the disks and will not run the recovery of the USB itself. It's annoying, but at least I can still use it to recover the machine.

  I would like to be

  the problem with discs

  or

  get the USB key to retrieve by using its own files instead of asking for the disks. Vista was not created with the option to recover from USB, so maybe I can't.

  HARD drive recovery option appears not in the advanced boot menu if something has been changed or modified on the HARD disk and the flag was removed.
  For example, this may be the case if the partition has been changed, modified or if HARD drive recovery files or folder has been changed, moved, or deleted.

  In case you want to recover the computer laptop back to factory settings, you must use the recovery disk

• 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.

• Possible to install Win 8 of recovery in Legacy Bios mode discs?

  Is it possible to install Win 8 of recovery disks in Legacy Bios instead of UEFI mode, as it comes with?

  Or will install it automatically use UEFI mode and configure start secure even if your bios is set to Legacy Bios installation mode for Windows 8?

  In addition,

  If I install a clean copy of windows 8 from the official Microsoft Windows 8 Core RTM dvd (same version as my system) and it detects and accepts the built in Win 8 product key and key of CD which is built in my Bios and it activates as valid installation and activeted - this void my warranty?

  (It's the same exact Windows version and license I paid HP for except it has not added recovery partition or software of HP so I don't think he would cancel warranty... especially since installation has accepted the built in bios keys - but is this correct?)

  Don't know everything if the recovery will install in legacy mode, try and see.

  Install a different copy of the same version do not cancel the warranty. However sometimes HP will require you to reinstall OS original to avoid the possibility of problems or if you need warranty service. Don't forget to burn your defined recovery disk before destroying the origianl OS.

  You can also find it advantageous to burn them to dvd or save to hard drive USB external your C:\SwSetup file with drivers and software provided on the original laptop. Save a lot of time to download on another computer and transfer it later.

• Windows Vista recovery disc

  I can't load the Windows Vista recovery disks (3 in total).  The Recovery Manager has not opened.  I went up to step 3 only.  I guess the restore disc (CD 1) failed.

  Hello:

  Sometimes the recovery disks do not work for one reason or another.

  If you can still read all 25 characters of the Vista product key on the COA Microsoft sticker on the bottom of your PC, you can do your own Vista installation disc that should at least get an operating system reinstalled on your PC.

  Here's how:

  If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

  You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

  Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

  The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

  The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then the other codes already filled in.

  When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

  I selected no, make the ISO file.

  It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

  I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT PC desktop computer, they worked perfectly.

  When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

  After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

  Update:  This is the new link to your own Vista installation media.

  Click on the link below and then click on the link PDF Guide of reinstalling Windows.

  Follow the instructions on pp 295-297.

• VISTA recovery failed

  Have Compaq CQ60-410US and VISTA stop working.  Could not get at all, just kept rebooting.  Downloaded VISTA recovery disc, all the controls have been OK, but it was no help.  Recovery disk used to access the command prompt and reformatted disk.  Tried using the XP Pro installation disc, but he could start at all.  What can I do now? Seems to be a good hard drive, but can't put the top OS.  Did not come with VISTA installation discs.

  Use DVD + R, usually only requires only 2-3.

• cannot restore the system with the Vista recovery disc, computer stuck in step 3 of 3 loop

  Hi all

  My computer has been blocked in the formidable step 3 of 3 loop. I followed the advice of Mr. Murphy and created the Vista recovery disk. I loaded it and followed the instructions. Everything was fine. I chose a 5 days ago restore point, and it went well until he must "finalize the restoration of files...". ». That's where he stayed - it would not be completed. I tried the restore points different, all with the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Try to make with her startup repair.

  With this CD, you can also do a startup repair of your Vista OS with it.

  If she can't do a startup repair and system restore has failed, it is time to consider doing a re-install of the Vista operating system.

  See you soon.
