Win 8 recovery partition

Hello

I have my laptop computer HP Pavilion G6 2230sq with windows 8 pending for the 120 GB SSD to arrive.

Now I try to copy or clone the recovery partition on a 32 GB flash usb, so I can install win 8 fees on ssd, as he is come with the original when hard drive I bought the laptop. The windows are activated, with all the drivers and the software installed.

Is it possible to clone the recovery on a USB partition? If this is not the case, how can I activate windows? Because it does not have this sticker with serial number as xp had years ago.

Thank you

Bogdan Oprea

    > Now that I did with 'Toshiba Media Recovery Creator' recovery DVDs, I can remove the recovery partition right?

    Yes. After changing the structure of the partitions probably you won't be able to use the HARD drive recovery facility more. This was the case in the past. In any case, now you have recovery DVD and you can install the recovery using these DVD image.

  • HP 450-011: delete the recovery partition after upgrade to win 10?

    I have a new HP 450-011 and it came with Win 8.1 and the recovery with the letter D: drive partition.  I did the upgrade to windows 10.  I made a set of recovery DVD for win installation 8.1.  Is there a reason for me not to delete the D: drive and replace it with my information?  I seriously doubt I'll want to roll back to 8.1 Win.

    Greetings,

    Have you tested the Win 8.1 HP Recovery disks before installing Win 10?

    A question is: If you need technical assistance from HP tech for a possible hardware problem. HP normally requires that the factory installed operating system to take in charge. This policy of HP may have changed during the upgrade to win 10. I do not suspect.

    You can export the recovery, Partition because it will not work now in any case.

    But you need a way to go back to win 8.1 when you need HP warranty support.

    Since you have already upgraded to Win 10, the only way to check the recovery of 8.1 Win disks is to use them and start all over again. Or the support of disks/USB recovery HP Win 8.1 on a new equivalent or larger HDD or SSD. A good installation means that you have now the factory install on this disk.

    It's a lot of work.

    The problem of guaranteed support is your problem.

    I have eliminated this problem by installing Win 10 on a new SSD. I have HP Win 8.1 on a separate SSD and win 10 on a different SSD. Possible guarantee problem solution means earn 8.1 running on HP SSD factory to check the problem of winning 10 SSD.

  • HP Envy 15 notebook PC: recovery Partition HP after the passage of Win8.1 to win 10

    I've recently updated to Win8.1 (original factory-installed) to win 10.

    Everything seems to work very well (a few bugs here and there, but nothing major).

    My question is about the factory recovery partition

    I studied the forums and it seems that if I used Recovery Manager to recover, he would recover back to Win8.1, not the current installation of Win10

    (1) can you please confirm that the HP recovery partition / recovery manager will recover only to Win8.1 and has been upgraded not so?

    (2) how can I get a recovery to redeem to Win 10?

    -is the Recovery Manager / partition "stretchy"?

    -Should I do new media recovery (should I use Recovery Manager, or who would do only Win8.1 media)?

    - or should I use https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

    (3) every time I do the recovery media Win10, so I can delete my restore partition? (using Recovery Manager option to do this)

    My computer is still under warranty

    Thank you

    1. Once installed the old partition recovery W8-W10 no longer works without some fiddling with serious.

    2A. There is recovery for W10 built into the operating system, type 'Settings' in the search bar, and then view the settings, then click on "Recovery" tab, this is where you can do a reset for W10.

    More information about reinitialization, see link below

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-10/repair-recovery

    2B. the recovery partition can be updated to W10 but requires a lot of geek who can't be mentioned here and definitely not worth the time and effort.

    2 c. a Yes make your recovery from usb disks using this tool of creation of media.

    3. Yes

    You already have your recovery W8 media while W8 was still installed?

  • Recovery partition after reclassification to win 8 to Win8.1

    Recently, I used the recovery partition to reset my laptop. I used 8.1, was back to 8, then I did the upgrade to 8.1 again.

    I would like to recover the original factory state again, to start over.

    I learned there may be problems using the recovery partition. Is this true? If so what are the options available? I had no problems when I did so a few days ago, but I hesitate to tempt fate. Basically, I'm afraid of ending up with a laptop that is unusable.

    I think I did an installation disc at some point and it will look. Maybe it's a solution?

  • XPS 12 / Win 8: how to boot from the recovery partition / reinstall Windows?

    Messed up things on a newly purchased 12 XPS in Windows 8, and I want to boot from the recovery partition and reinstall windows.

    Support online pages point by pressing F8 during startup, but this does not at all.

    How can I access the recovery partition?

    To access to the menu of, , press F2.

    To enter the boot options menu, press F12.

    Because the XPS 12 boots so fast, it is better to repeatedly press F2 or F12 after restarting the machine. During the startup process, texts for options should appear at the bottom right of the screen. If you enter Windows, you will need to restart again and press F2 or F12 until it works. However, I don't think there is an option in the BIOS to restore the computer to its factory condition. The previous post by DELL-VIKRAM M describes how to properly restore the machine to its factory state.

    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.

    Thanks for any help. John

    There is no need to increase the size of the HP recovery Partition. In fact, this can lead to make non-functional... HP recovery Partition leaving you without the ability to create your recovery HP Recovery Media options or access the HP Recovery Manager or "F11".

  • 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
    kDar

    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.

  • Satellite C660 - recovery partition is there but can I make backup discs?

    Hi all

    Just a query
    My GF turned on his PC series portable Satellite C660 and it would not start, we have tried to open the restore from the recovery partition sequence but kept getting the error that progresses at the start (error said to a device USB has been disconnected).

    As you probably guessed that she never did the backup disks when you are prompted, everything I could think of used a drive to win 7 and reload this way then try to make recovery disks after (I didn't activate)
    so win 7 has been installed well and all the drivers of origin that was all last week.
    Now to the crunchiness, the recovery partition is here now, I do the recovery disks and install from those, win 7 I installed it will soon take activation
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    After clean install of OS you can't create more recovery disk and you cannot install recovery image using the disk HARD recovery option (F8 at startup).

    Best thing you can do now is drive original order of Toshiba and use it for recovery image installation. It is certainly easier to have factory again.

  • Satellite l.660-12 q - would the recovery disk rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition

    Talk about confusion. Does anyone know how to get a Toshiba C660 work after the HARD drive failed and the owner has stupidly NOT followed the instructions to make a recovery disk. Will be the recovery disk (if buy you one from Toshiba) rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition and install windows 7 (original OS) and accept the product key printed on the Windows license, attached to the base of the laptop. I have read a number of suggestions, but these have been considered incorrect by others.

    Surely, Toshiba must have a way to sort this problem.

    They read these messages?

    Hey Buddy

    I don't think it's really complicated, that I could find all the information about the recovery procedure in the user's manual

    The recovery disk must be created on the first day of purchase its recommended to create one in case something would be wrong with the HARD drive.

    The recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package containing Win system, drivers, tools and all the stuff pre-installed on the notebook.
    You bought the laptop and the system has already been activated so that you have need of t the key placed at the bottom of the unit.
    In addition, the use of the recovery disc formats the drive HARD integer (partitions too) and set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of the purchase.

    There is also another option to recover the notebook called HARD drive recovery. This HARD drive recovery requires no recovery disk. The recovery disc HARD would be to use format ONLY partition C (System).

    @GayanW: sounds like the hard drive died suddenly on you - which occurs.

    Once you can do is try to make a hard drive from the BIOS test.  The instructions are at the link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00439024

    After back here with the results of the tests.

    IF this confirms that the hard drive is dead, then you must do the following:

    (1) replace the hard drive

    (2) order the HP recovery media

    (3) reinstall from the recovery media
