Without provided Windows® operating system recovery media?

Reading the full specifications for Inspiron One 23 in my basket, I fell on this...

"Recovery - operating system options Operating system Windows® Recovery Media not included"

Shoild need arises, how to re - install the OS 8 Win.

Thank you.

Unfortunately Dell do not ship DVD to reinstall Windows with the systems more.

I recommend you contact Technical Support as soon as the system arrives and asks a reinstallation DVD.

If you reside in the United States or to the CA, you can fill out this form to request for media:

www.Dell.com/recoverymedia

Unfortunately Dell doesn't have a courteous of the customer form in all other regions.

Note Technical Support Dell may tell you to use Dell backup and recovery to make the installation media, but from my experience, this is not a reliable solution like a DVD of actual relocation.

  • System recovery media is not delivered with my new Satellite P100

    Hello world.

    Two weeks ago, I bought my first laptop of Toshiba (P100-324). Before, I had many doubts about the facilities of Toshiba. Now I have to say that I am really very pleased with the quality of your product. The laptop itself is great and everything works fine.

    Except a problem: in the box, it there was only one disc: the CD entitled "Express Media Player Recovery CD. When I checked the database online of the Toshiba with my s/n, she showed a Windows recovery DVD in the package list. So I did what you guys recommend to: contacted * all * the FSA in Poland. Surprisingly, the quality of the customer service was not so good. Each of them told me as if there were no real DVD in the box, it MUST be a hidden partition on my HARD drive, and if I want to buy the CD/DVD with the operating system (I have a license/sticker OEM to use: XP MCE) I pay about 20 EUR

    Wow. A price of 20 EUROS for a single value of CD... 5 cents? (the media itself, not the software) In fact, when I was paying a lot of money for my laptop I expect something more in terms of customer service. But anyway, I'm just one customer, probably worth less than nothing to the FSA. So, after this long and boring, prologue here are my questions:

    (1) should there be another DVD in my Inbox that contains the Windows XP MCE OEM installation?

    (2) otherwise - y at - it technique uber-elite that Toshiba is using to hide the Windows recovery partition me? There are only 2 partitions on my HARD drive: one with 250 MB (which is IMHO far too small to contain all the windows + drivers) and one that fills the disk completely (~ 200 GB). Is there some magic bios that would display the partitions one another?

    (3) otherwise - is it possible to "produce" somehow a windows recovery DVD? I mean, on my c: drive is CMPNENTS, I386, directories VALUEADD I somehow recognizes Windows installation CD. However, when I try to use nLite on the root of c: (or the i386 directory), it indicates that not all the installation files are present.

    (4) and finally - how do I reinstall my Windows XP MCE?

    I really, really need to have an option to reinstall my operating system. It would be a shame for Toshiba that I had to buy another copy of Windows XP Home edition oem (and scratch the key oem sticker).

    Hello Tomasz

    First of all, I am very pleased to hear that you are satisfied with your new P100. Right now I use the older Satellite M70 with ATI graphics card, but I think buying Satellite P100. Satellite P100 has long been on the market and I hope that very soon, Toshiba P100 successor. Maybe something like P200 and I think I'll wait a few months see what happens in the future.

    Back to your question:
    As far as I know recovery DVD should be bundled with the new and original packaged product. On your laptop, it is also preinstalled Express Media Player. It's a small application based on Linux that allows you to watch DVD movies or listen to audio CDs without booting the operating system. It is preinstalled on small partition unallocated. Express Media Player using supplied restore CD you can install it anywhere, anytime. As I said recovery DVD should be supplied with your laptop. But in this whole one thing confused me: autour Googling, I discovered that the Satellite P100-324 is available in Germany and Austria. Because of this I really don't know how you could buy this product in Poland? Have you branch new or perhaps as some showroom products.
    Please give some info about it.

    Maybe is my view too long but I wanted to just tell you one thing. May be pretty important thing: many users mix of Toshiba service and authorized partners. Each authorized service partner is not directly Toshiba. All these partners are independent companies that have contracts with Toshiba (and very often with other laptop manufacturers) and they repair laptops. Please note that they operate as independent businesses and create prices on its own (free market). If there is a communication problem you cannot say: bad or bad service from Toshiba. Yes, in a certain way, they represent Toshiba but if personal service is not qualified or hostile he really has nothing to do with Toshiba himself.

    They are also right on self-created recovery DVD Toshiba a few notebook models are supplied without the recovery DVDs and the user must create one. But it is absolutely not the case with your P100. For most computers business notebooks have this option as Portege and Tecra.

    Dear Tomasz at the end it is not easy to say what you need to do. If you have a portable German perhaps it is best to order the DVD of recovery on your tongue. He's still irritated when you have additional costs but 20 euros is not a lot of money. Fill in your new toy and enjoy your life.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Re-install Windows 7 using recovery media (DVD)

    Laptop: HP-430 Notebook

    OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)

    HARD DRIVE: THE 298 GB

    When I bought recently my laptop HP-430, I partitioned new HARD drive using some other third party software. I created an additional partition (M:\). Here's the info, how I've repartitioned...

    C:\ - 100 GB (changed from 284 GB to 100 GB).

    D:\ - have not made any changes.

    M:\ - 184 GB (created a drive by myself).

    Then after a few days of testing purpose I thought using the Recovery Manager. So I run the Setup and chose the first option (System Restore) who says he will only reformat the drive (C:\) system and will not issue any other HARD disk changes. But to my surprise it deleted/reformatted the HARD full disc, and I lost all my documents, music, photos and all my important files, I recorded/saved on M:\ (that I had created...)

    Can someone tell me why the hack happened...?

    So now, next point. After that the Recovery Manager has restored the operating system, I repartitioned again, but this time with the Windows disk management tool. But the Windows disk management does not shrink (resize) the C:\(Systemdrive) of less than 150 GB. So I resized C:\ to 150 GB of GB 284 and created a player more (M:\) 147 GB size. And I deleted the recovery disc (D:\), but I created the recovery DVD before you remove the Recoevery of my HARD disk drive.

    Now its time for me to reinstall Windows 7 using recovery media, I messed with some system files when installing a theme for Windows 7 and now my OS is completely unstable. So now I want to reinstall windows 7, but I do not understand what option selected in the Recovery Manager (when run from Recovery DVD)

    Options displayed in the Recovery Manager

    1 collect using Microsoft Recovery

    2 recovery system (the option that I had chosen for the first time and got all the stuff removed)... He said that he only reinstalls the OS and custom make any other change of HARD drive.

    3 minimized Image Recovery

    4. factory Reset.

    So now my question to you guys, it's what option do I have selected in the Recovery Manager so that all my saved content and my stuff on M:\ (I created) will not be removed... and the operating system is reinstalled.

    PLIZZZZZ HELPPPPPPPPPPPP...

    Hello

    I don't think that all the disk recovery options will keep your partition custom - as far as I know, the only time where you will receive a prompt to keep a custom partition when you use the option "Recovery of Image is reduced to a minimum" to the recovery Partition D that you deleted.

    You can try the following workaround.

    Download the good Image of disk Windows 7 from the link below: it must be exactly the same version your OEM Setup - that is to say if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to the version, you must download.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

    Use the disk that you create to perform the installation - when you get to the option to choose the installation type, choose custom and select the C partition.

    When asked, enter the activation key Windows located on the underside of your laptop, then when the installation is complete use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just that a new installation of Windows 7 without software load additional normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • the system recovery media does not support this computer

    I have a HP G7-1365DX and the hard drive (750 GB) is a failure.  I did a recovery file on a USB key from the recovery partition and then replaced the hard drive with a 120 GB SSD.  When I tried to reinstall the USB system, I get the message "the system recovery media does not support this computer."  Is it because the hard drive was replaced by a SSD?  How to restore the system if the recovery disk does not work?

    Hello

    You are right about the source of this problem - HP recovery media often has problems of restoring the operating system on a smaller disk in quality than appeared on.

    There are a few options available.

    1. if the 750 GB drive is still able to operate, use your recovery media to perform a factory reset and then use software (or Windows 7 own imaging utility) for this clone of your SSD.

    2 create your own recovery media to use to run the installation - it would be my personal preference.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • HP Notebook PC 15: create system recovery media

    my laptop has a message asking to "create a system recovery media. Since the purchase of the laptop, I have upgraded to win10 (the free version online), of win8.1, which I upgraded to 8.0 immediately after purchase. I have a set of 3 drive recovery I think I did when I bought the HP. The instructions indicate that only a game can be made. In addition, the instructions show that more than 3 disks are required. But when I start the process only a USB option is available. How can I determine if the 3 disc set is the right game for this PC? I'm confused.

    Hello slickamis;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post on creating recovery media and wanted to help.

    If you create HP recovery support before proceeding with the upgrade to Win10, it's a waste of time trying to do it now.  Why?  Two reasons...

    First of all, the update of Win10 has a bad history of corrupting the recovery OEM information, and if this happens to you, any media that you create does not work.

    Second, that the media would have been for the original operating system, and the recovery information are not updated when you upgrade the Win10.  So the media could serve as a recovery of Win10.

    My suggestion is if you want to create a recovery media for Win10, then consider using a third-party solution known as Macrium reflect (MR).

    What I recommend is the following:
    (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
    (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
    (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

    I use all the time and it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make the backup of the image and at the same time or less do a restore.  In addition, MR has the ability to add a recovery Boot Menu entry.  This then allows you to boot into Windows re, and then you can use it to do a restore - when you cannot start Windows!

    NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

    Good luck

    I'm a volunteer and I do not work for, or represent, HP.

  • DV6-6c15nr, "the system recovery media does not support this computer."

    Hi all. I'm trying to reformat my laptop (dv6-6c15nr), but when I try to reformat to f11the recovery manager f, all options are such that the system restore and restore to factory is grayed out. The next thing I tried was a set of recovery disks. When I used the recovery disks, it showed the message "this computer does not support the system recovery media. You are not able to restore the system with the media. 0110 A601UA #ABA - A1U60AV. Why can I not reformat my laptop... I remember that I was able to reformat until I sent offshore to get the hard drive and the radiator replaced by hp year last April. Now I can't get to... that this has to do with anything? someone please help...

    I also tried without the bios downgrade F.19 REV: a. which do not help either.

    It seems that the motherboard may have been changed and the information system (tattoo) has not been updated to match that of your computer. While I can't fix this for you, I can suggest some possible solutions and I work to spare;

    (1) you can contact HP Customer Support and ask that they correct the problem.

    (2) attempt to control that recovery discs for the model of the motherboard is currently labeled as.

    (3) If you can still read the Windows product key of 25 characters on the Microsoft COA affixed on the computer, you can install Windows 7 using this key. Please see "how to install Windows 7 without the disc" to get instructions on how to download Windows 7 SP1, create the installation media and install Windows 7 SP1 using the 25-digit key from the COA Microsoft on your computer.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about the choice of a Windows operating system for your laptop and wanted to help.

    For the "best performance", you clearly have the right drivers - and the latest OS for which HP provides drivers for your laptop is Windows 8.  These same drivers would work in Win8.1.

    If you choose Win10 instead, there is no HP drivers and you'd be stuck using the drivers provided by MS and provide only the most basic features.

    Once you install Win8.1, then download and install this utility to prevent it to be updated to Win10: RCMP | Never10

    Hey all,.

    I had a power outage (1 TB) HD material on me about a week ago and replaced by a (500 GB) SSD, not purchased from HP.  I then ordered the recovery disc from HP for this particular serial number.  Whenever I boot on the recovery discs, I get "this computer does not support the system recovery media. You are not able to restore the system with the media. "The Minsize argument in the instructions to build on the DVD file provides a minimum of 140 GB, so I don't think I have a new smaller drive system is the question.

    Last month I have updated the firmware to v80.08, and in the bios "product name", 'SKU number', 'serial number of the chassis' fields are all empty.  In "System ID", everythign is empty except UUID and family name.

    I think that's why I'm not able to boot to recovery discs?

    Any help would be appreciated, I have use this computer for quickbooks and have bee unable to do accounting for a week and a half.

    Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

    There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.
