• Clean install from the recovery partition

  Hi all

  I had a lot of problems with Vista.  In a different thread, it was recommended that I have do a CLEAN install, but not from the disc, but rather from the recovery partition.  I have a Dell Studio XPS 435mt.  I see the possibility to do a factory reset, but I don't know how to do the clean install from the recovery partition.
  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

  Hello

  The Dell recovery partition resettlement process will reinstall Vista configuration; in other words, the way in which you bought it new.

  Here is the information from Dell on how to use the recovery partition.

• 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.

  Hello

  If you have already changed the partitions of HARD drive and deleted files from the HARD disk, then your HARD drive recovery is too bad!

  But to make sure that the HARD drive recovery is not possible please press F8 immediately after the power of the laptop. Usually a start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the option called fix my computer. Then you should be able to choose recovery option.

  But like I said that this is only possible if your HARD drive was not formatted!

  If you have formatted the HARD drive and changed partitions then you will need a Toshiba DVD recovery that you have not because you didn t he create at the beginning. Is this good? Well, then you must order the recovery DVDs if you want to retrieve the laptop to factory settings.

• recover from the recovery partition

  I found several entries by searching in the forum, but nobody seems to be similar to my problem:

  I want to recover my windows vista system partition using the partition recovery on my T61p.

  It worked very well for me last time. But in the meantime I installed Ubuntu which was installing the grub loader, I think that what causes the problem all to rewrite the mbr.

  By pressing the Thinvantage key while booting does not show me the usable entries. If I boot from the Thinkpad - Recovery Boot disk iexpect only after pressing 'next' linux partitions and data will be deleted also.

  But especially as I could finally recovery... "Select the partition you want to use as the system partition" or another message like this.

  I remember, I was delighted when I saw this message. Because at the time, I was doing this I was expecting something like that. But today, that would be great, I don't have to reinstall Linux.

  Can you please tell me how I'm going to continue?

  Thank you

  For 3 or 4 days I'm looking a solution for my problem.

  I tried many things and spent a lot of time reading about similar issues.

  Windows Vista Ultimate on my T61p is not able to upgrade to SP1. I did it via ThinkVantage System Update, Windows Update function function and I downloaded the SP1 of Microsoft.com.

  Meanwhile my games installed do not work, I reinstalled them and then got an error message like: ereg.exe does not work.

  Installation completed then and I got the same error as before, at the start of the game.

  I had a serious accident before 4 months and I spent all the time in hospitals. My only satisfaction now is my new T61p and I don't get to work.

  PROBLEM:

  Maybe I did something wrong before update so I tried to use the recovery feature to set windows to the same status as when I got the laptop.

  I tried using the CD Boot Vista added, disk 1-c and the last c. I also tried using the recovery partition which I did not have to work when I started this thread.

  During this time I installed the rescue and recovery 4.2 and now he got the correct menu entry. When I select this function (F11) starting the computer was 'normal' and I had the selection of GRUB menu...

  I also found a scandiskpatch.exe which should correct some problems of RnR using Vista and 4.2 RnR. But when I doubleclick on it, I get a message that my computer do not have good condition for the correction of program (or something else, I use the German language pack.

  I want to restore my computer, and then try to update and if this doesn't work I still will have to find a solution for this.

  Please help me with this very annoying problem.

• Pavilion dv6t-2000 - cannot recover from the recovery partition

  Hey there. I'm trying to restore my laptop with Win 7 settings, but I can't seem to restore from my recovery partition. I tried the F8, F11 key and on the ways to office with no luck. In some of them, recovery option is grayed out, but using the recovery on the Desktop Manager, I have recovery option, but he says to insert disk 1 before continuing. I have no disc and I already have a previous restoration set the last time I got my laptop (about 2 years ago).

  When I click on my computer I see the c drive and d drive - what is labeled a recovery partition. I did a check of the recovery partition and there are no errors. It seems to work fine, except that my laptop is not to be used to recover. I know it's a major road, so I've never tested with it.

  Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated

  It is more likely that some of the files were corrupted on the recovery partition. At this point, since you have no recovery disc, I would phone HP to order recovery media.

• Windows 8 is installed on the wrong partition

  I just opened my Ideapad u430 and immediately noticed that the windows that OS has been installed on the 500 GB sata drive instead of the SSD. I am sure that the whole point of the SSD part has been to install the OS on it to speed up performance. Tips on how to transfer the OS on the other side of the partition without the original disks?

  Well, no, in my humble OPINION, but you may be able to make it work for your particular needs.

  Size - 24GO - confirms that it is a caching of the road, and the operating system has not been installed on the wrong partition.

• Try to restore from the recovery partition

  I'm trying to restore my laptop to its original state by using the restore partition.  I formatted the C drive, but the recovery partition was left in place.  Is there a way to do this?  I, unfortunately, do not appear to have the recovery CD I did a disk with Acronis image that seems to be a joke as it will not restore anything.  Would appreciate any advice you can give me at this point.

  My laptop was a Vista Home, if that helps.

  Thank you

  Recovery disks must be always available for your laptop.

  These links are dead to 99% of the numerous times, reported, several times.

  Contact HP you Chat, email and phone options here. Personally I had good results with the cat.

• Re: Prepare for a clean installation of Windows 7. To remove the recovery partition?

  ....
  The laptop (A215-S4697) came with the restore disc. While searching for the
  computer for restore create disk... it's not - where to
  be found. I guess I'll just put my confidence in the drive, when I received
  This thing has been purchased. I was wondering if reformatting will delete the
  restore the partition? It should be deleted?

  I do not know what do you mean under restore partition, but if your laptop comes with the recovery disk is no restore partition that can be used for any new OS install.
  All you Vista is Windows re, but has nothing to do with the recovery image.

  When you use the whole HARD disk Toshiba Recovery disk will be deleted. You can install any OS you want, but after using the recovery disk, you will lose everything.

• Windows Vista is installed on my recovery partition need help for this relocation.

  I have an acer extensa 5620, the labtob supplied with Windows Vista already installed. I ended up having to have my computer repaired because it became somehow infected by viruses a friend who I thought was well knowledged in computers, cleaned the virus or so I thought, and replaces Windows Vista with Windows XP I was not asking or giving permission for that to happen. Now, I came to know that Windows XP is not genuine a software which makes sense because I kept getting virus despite the fact that I have several systems antivirus on my computer and to make things worse, I'm sure I have a browser hijack. I tried to find a way, he made the switch to return to Vista because I liked it, but another friend told me I should stored it on my recovery partition. I don't know that much about computers if anyone can help me to find it and tell me step by step to correctly and safely to reinstall Windows Vista because I'm also fairly certain that bad software is whats allowing these viruses. Help, please!

  http://support.Acer.com/

  Contact Acer for the EXACT way to do.

  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, Acer Alt + F10 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 computer repair option

  See you soon.

• Satellite A660 - custom install from the recovery disk

  I like my windows costs. I do not have programs that I don't really need. I tried to uninstall some of them, but they always leave unexpected pieces behind them. So is there a way to stop the factory reset on A660 before installing drivers and other software. So I can install the readers updated and the programs I want to.

  I noticed that I can leave the program that installs Windows regarding the Office when using ctrl-alt-delete. Thing is that it will start again once the computer restarts then I have to remove this program from loading at the beginning upward. Can anyone share ideas?

  I would be really nice if Toshiba allows us to decide what kind of programs that we have in our computer.

  Satellite A660 97u model. Windows 7.

  Hey,.

  I put t think its bloatware. It s tools can you FN keys, webcam, etc. Laptop with a lot of material requires a lot of drivers and software. In addition, you also get a large number of tools that makes computing easier, like Toshiba Bulletin Board software, burning, etc.
  If you remove it n don't like this software, but it s kind of Toshiba to deliver these software with laptops.

  But to answer your question: custom installation is not possible because the recovery disk contains a ready image of factory settings, no single file.
  This is why you must use a Microsoft disc.

• Can I do a fresh install from the recovery CD

  I'll buy a new laptop that comes with Windows 8.

  For various reasons, that I want to continue to use Windows 7, so I will clean up the computer and install windows 7.

  Now the question:

  One day I might want install windows 8 on the computer again, how can I install it when I have no disk Windows 8?

  You can do without any trace of Windows 8 in the background.  For example, if you buy a bigger hard drive and put it in the computer.  This hard drive is completely empty, and you can use your system created image to reload with Windows 8.

  But don't forget, a recovery disc and a system image disc are two different things.

  The manufacturer of your may have included a disk creator tool is or Windows has its own built-in function.  However, on a windows, there was some changes on how to create a system image disc (a few changes with 8.1 Windows as well), so here's how: http://www.howtogeek.com/167984/how-to-create-and-restore-system-image-backups-on-windows-8.1/

• How can I make windows 7 clean install on the new hp?

  I just bought a H8XT.  He took over with a bunch of useless software.  I want to format the hard drive and reinstall windows 7 me.  However, the computer came not with the disc of the operating system.  How can I do this?  My last computer is a Dell that came with the operating system software, and it was pretty simple.  I do not know how without the operating system disks.  Thank you.

  As o_g suggested, first create your HP recovery disk.

  Download the ISO (disk image) of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit a company named Digital River download Microsoft partner. Once this downloaded, you have to burn the image on a DVD to an installation of Windows 7 bootable disc.
