I had deleted recovery partition because of boot mgr error. pre-installed OS: Windows 8.1 I have also ordered two sets of hp recovery disc but both shows same error (boot mgr) but yesterday I can't even open system recovery from hp recovery disc by press F11, even I try to change bios setting from secure boot to legacy boot but can't open system recovery What I do now?
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-System-and-Recovery/can-t-open-HP-recovery-manager-from-hp-recovery-disc/td-p/5798200I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/directdownload.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
I am running windows 7 on my laptop. I has windows vista before the upgrade. I had recovery discs for windows vista created from the recovery manager. I tried to make discs for windows 7. I would like to know why it won't let me make a disc for windows 7 because if I had trouble and needed to put in the recovery discs I wouldn't want to use the ones i had for windows vista. what should i do? here are screenshots to show what happens when i try to create the discs for windows 7.
HP PC Recovery Disc Creator, is for your HP Vista only, not for UpGrade of Win 7.

Hello Anyone know if there is available downloadable files for making a Recovery Manager disc to boot from? My problem is, that when I start PC, it loads as normally, but when trying to hit F11 to get Recovery Manager to start, it crashes/locks the computer. Also the error: "file kernell.dll is missing..."

Without going into the details, it's safe to tell you that with a 5-minute Google exercise, you can easily find websites from which you can purchase a CD that will allow you to BLANK the Admin password on a Windows PC. Once you do that, you can eventually log in as the Administrator and do whatever you want. Not saying they did that; just saying it's not hard to do if you know how. When I used to work in InfoSec, we had a saying "Once they have access to the hardware, they can do anything they want".
As to your problem, if you have Win7 install DVD, you could try booting from it and running Repair to see if it will restore the loader files and repair the BCD.
If you don't have such a DVD, you can purchase the ISO image for a Win7 Repair CD from the link, burn that to a CD, boot from that, and run Startup Repair: Download Windows 7 System Recovery Discs — The NeoSmart Files

http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Operating-Systems-and-Recovery/Why-can-t-HP-Recovery-Manager-Back-Up-Manager-save-Open/td-p/5850885Hello,
Hoping to avoid a full reinstall of Windows XP, I'd like to try some repair procedures. The problem is, when I launch my "Vaio PCV-RS430G" recovery disc it goes straight to Sony's proprietary recovery interface which provides ONLY the preset option to wipe my 'c' drive and reinstall Windows. According to some MS articles I've read, an XP recovery disc should allow me to access the Windows Recovery Console (by typing "R" at the welcome screen). Can anyone suggest how I can bypass the Sony recovery and get to the Windows Recovery Console?
BTW, I have a "Spotmau PowerSuite 2008" CD. Just mentioning this in case it might be of some use here. Any help would be VERY MUCH appreciated
Recovery discs that come with your pc usually only offer the option to reset to factory conditions
I have a Sony Vaio VPCEH25EN and while partitioning I lost somehow have lost the automatic recovery faciltiy that used to recover the whole system from the recovery files stored in a hidden drive.
Now I have copied the contents of the recovery drive using linux but am not able to create a bootable recovery disc with that so that I can recover to the original factory settings as I having a problem with many drivers if I install the same OS separately.
So is there any way that I can create a bootable recovery media for my system from that contents of the recovery drive, just copying in a pendrive or DVD isnt serving the purpose.
Hi and welcome to TSF you should have made recovery disc when you first got your machine there should be software on it to allow you to make the discs all the manuals drivers etc should be here Support for VPCEH25EN : E Series : VAIO? Laptop & Computer : Sony India

I had this in the wrong section earlier and got no help, so trying again here. I'm trying to create a Recovery disc on a USB pen drive for my laptop (Asus Zenbook), as it doesn't have a CDROM. I'm following the instructions here to create the recovery disc on a USB pen drive. The problem I have is that when I look in the C:\Recovery folder, it looks empty to me. And yes, I have run the command prompt as Administrator. I can't proceed without this step in the process.
Can anyone help?

That partitcion is hidden. Use backup from controll panel or try mini tool partitcian wizard home edition.

Information
We always assume you have made your Recovery Disks using the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Media Creator app the first day you had your new PC.
& made the Startup Repair CD.
startup repair disc-create
Did you make the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disks?
Before you start make your Recovery disk.
Disable Boot Booster in BIOS setup before you perform system recovery from USB flash disk, external optical drive or hidden partition.
1. Press <F9> during bootup.
Ensure to press <F9> only once during bootup.
2. Select the language you use and click to continue.
3. Repeat the step 1—2 in the previous section.
4. Connect a USB storage device to your Eee PC and click Backup in the Recovery System dialog box to start the recovery files backup.
The size of the connected USB storage device should be larger than 16GB.
Memory cards are not supported for this function.
A dialog box appears as a reminder if you have not connected the USB storage device for system recovery backup to your Eee PC.
5. Select a desired USB storage device if more than one USB storage device is connected to your Eee PC and click Continue.
6. All the data on the selected USB storage device will be cleared. Click Continue to start the backup or click Back to backup your important data.
You will lose all your data on the selected USB storage device. Ensure to back up your important data beforehand
7. The system backup starts and click OK when done.
i have an asus to recovery have install how partition, disc, No recovery CE netbook For whatever reason i don't have the recovery No recovery partition, have recovery disc, how to install partition on it I do however have the recovery backup that i made when i first got it It is stored on a USB external desktop hard drive toshiba TB When i boot up from it i get to the asus recovery screen but when i select either 'install to partition' or 'install to entire HD' it pops up with a message 'please insert external hard drive for backup' this makes no sense to me anyway i have tried different usb ports tried attaching another external hard drive and its made no difference it still comes up with the same thing because i don't have that recovery partition i can't go the normal route and boot straight off that on the hard drive Is there any way i can recreate that recovery partition put the backup files that are currently on the USB external drive onto the partition and then try it will that work
You're best bet by far is to follow this tutorial by Gregrocker. Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7
http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/355124-no-recovery-partition-have-recovery-disc-how-install.htmlyeah i was just seeing if you could make a recovery disk from the recovery partition? it wouldnt make sense to why u couldnt do it?? but how to go about it??
You would do that by creating an image. Then burn it to a cd.
Do you mean a XP recovery Console cd? or a whole system image?
Does anyone know how to create an ISO from a recovery partition? I'm looking to create a bootable flash drive to install XP on my ASUS 1005HA. (I have Windows 7 starter, but I don't want to pay the 80 bones to upgrade to the full version.) I also have an ASUS 1000HA with XP--and the corresponding recovery partition--that I'd like to use to put XP on the new netbook. Unfortunately, I don't have a USB optical drive (I'm cheap--sue me) and so I need to use the bootable flash drive.
Long story short, I know how to make the bootable flash, but I need an XP recovery ISO to load onto it to allow me to install the OS. Anybody know how I can make one from the recovery partitions?
Using a recovery image from one PC to install on another PC with different hardware is not going to work.

http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/296083-hp-pavilion-recovery-error-inability-get-past-hp-recovery-manager.htmlI am on Windows 10, and for the past couple months I have had booting/BSOD errors that usually give me "bad_system_config_info" and occasionally, "0xc000021a ". Sometimes, I have been able to boot in by accessing the UEFI settings, other times it seems like it just randomly decides to let me log in to my computer normally. When I am able to login, I check for viruses and I haven't found any, as well as run commands like "sfc/scannow", "chkdsk", or "bootsect". I am trying to recreate recovery media via the HP Recovery Manager, but each time I insert the empty flashdrive, the Recovery Manager suddenly crashes. Please, any response to these combined issues would be greatly appreciated, I haven't been able to use this laptop regularly for months now.

Recovery Manager has hiccups sometimes...
Try re-booting and entering at boot.
If that fails you can order the Recovery Media from HP for a reasonable price.
Hello, I am trying to completely factory reset my pc but when I select Windows Recovery Environment in HP recovery manager, it just brings me to the login screen after it restarts my computer.

If there is any way I can restore my laptop to Factory Settings, Please inform . And If I need to download anyting please give the link with it. Thank You.
Hi there @HPian_B, Before I provide troubleshooting documentation, I would like to take a minute to welcome you to the HP Support Community, where you can ask questions, find solutions and get help from the community! I read that you would like to reset your HP Pavilion g6-2310ex Notebook PC to factory settings. Please read the document called Backing Up Your Files. This will provide you with ways to back up the files you have on your Notebook. Here is a document for you to read called Creating Recovery Discs or Saving a Recovery Image to a USB Flash Drive. I pulled some information from the document for you. The first thing I would like to make you aware of is that only DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD+R, or DVD+R DL discs are compatible with the Recovery Media Creation program. The following disc types are not compatible with the Recovery Media Creation program:CDsDVD-RWDVD+RWDVD-RW DLDVD+RW DLYou will then also see that in the document it says: The Recovery Media Creation software program allows only one complete set of discs to be created.The Recovery Media Creation software program requires an uncorrupted recovery partition (Recovery Image (D) to create a set of discs. Uncorrupted means the recovery partition has not been modified or removed.The creation process takes about 30 minutes per DVD. The entire recovery set does not need to be created in one session.The Recovery Media Creation software can be aborted at any time, except during the writing (burning) process, by clicking Cancel. The next time the Recovery Media Creation software program is run, it automatically starts where it last stopped.You can use the recovery discs you create on your computer on another computer only if the second computer is the same model as the one that created the recovery discs.Here is a document called Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7) and another called Recover Windows 7 Operating System Using Microsoft Windows Backup and Restore. - This is used to Recover, Restore, or do a Clean Install of Windows 7. Please make sure that you read these documents very carefully before you decided to reset to factory settings. Thanks for being a part of the HP community. Please let me know if this helps resolve the issue by marking this post as "Accept as Solution". If you require further assistance let me know and I will gladly do all I can to help. Please also re-post with the exact error message you received. If you wish to say "thanks" for my effort to help, click the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos. Thanks!Have a great day

I found away past it. Just close the window with the "X". Don't hit retry or it will just keep starting over. The box will appear a few more times during the process, but just keep hitting X and it should go through. Worked for me! I'm not sure if there are features or files missing because of the errors, but the system seems to work fine so far.

http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Software-and-How-To-Questions/Using-HP-Recovery-Manager-to-delete-the-Recovery-Partition/td-p/5706070Hi all
I heard that Vista has its own recovery manager to create recover disc.
I was looking through all of my files and could not find and I couldn't find it. I found back up option which I don't think is the same.
Reason for this is that my Vista CD is behind a furniture that I can not be bothered to move and get it. It has been there for last three months.
So I want to create recover disc....
I will use some of image creation software and create images but until i save some money to buy Western Digital TB external USB HD I need recovery disc.
I am not sure if I am allowed to mention this here but there are a lot of torrent offering recovery disc for Vista 32 and 64. Are they OK to use or creating recovery disc from within Vista itself is better option.
Is this what you are looking for?
Create a Recovery Disc
At one point, MS was going to include this in Vista SP1, but they pulled it from the release.
I'm new here too.

I can see the recovery partition, can I make a recover USB from the drive without it being in my laptop?
Hi there, Do you not have Recovery discs?How did you previously load Windows 7 on your Notebook? The media creation software allows only one system image to be created. If you created a set of recovery discs, you can not create a system image on a USB drive. The media creation software requires an uncorrupted recovery partition (FACTORY_IMAGE D. Uncorrupted means that the recovery partition has not been modified or removed. That being said, at this point, I cannot guarantee that the image will work on your USB.

Hi PJ,
You covered several areas, so I'll start with some suggestions:
1. Since you already burnt (and checked?) the recovery DVD's, that recovery partition is no longer required, so you can remove it. Everything you need to restore the computer back to its factory state will be contained on those 4 x DVD's - store them safely.
2. For the Linux distro's, given that this is a UEFI boot, I would run them in a virtual machine using either free VirtualBox or free VMWarePlayer (my personal preference is for the latter).
Linux - Install on Windows 7 Virtual Machine using VirtualBox
3. If you never plan on using Office, uninstall it, then remove the Q: partition.
You should also consider a clean OEM install at some point - it gets rid of all the bloatware that the OEM's come with:
Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7
Lastly, keep this handy if you choose to clean install under UEFI:
UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) - Install Windows 7 with

Working on a spiffy e-machine with Windows Vista Home Basic that runs pretty Disc, Boot Disc Frisbee Recovery Disc, well After reading multiple posts where the Boot Disc, Recovery Disc, Frisbee Disc advice usually begins with suggesting a boot disc or a recovery disc I guess what I m looking to find out is what is the difference between a boot disc and a recovery disc How do I go about making one on this machine or if I even can lt lt I did read through Grinler s tutorials regarding System Restore points and all that seems to in good order But I guess I m not sure on the relationship between that and my post or if there even is one a best practice regarding these type of discs I don t have any pressing issues at this time but I also don t want to wait until I do Everything I Boot Disc, Recovery Disc, Frisbee Disc ve learned here at BC has been so great amp helpful I would like to stay on that path so any links apps ideas suggestions and or insights would be greatly appreciated Winterland
1) what is the difference between a boot disc and a recovery disc?Boot disk vs recovery disk. Let me see if I can phrase that in a way that makes some sense.A recovery disc is a generic term for the disk or media containing a backup of the original factory condition or a specified condition of a computer as configured by the original equipment manufacturer or an end-user. OEM supplied recovery media is sometimes shipped with some computers to allow the user to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system and pre-loaded software as it was when it was shipped. This is not as common a practice today as it was in the past. I won't confuse the issue, but google recovery partition for more information.A boot disk is a removable data storage medium, i.e. DVD or flash drive from which a computer can load and run 'boot' an operating system or utility program. The computer must have an installed program or application which will load and execute a program or application from the boot disk. This will enable you to boot an otherwise unusable machine to be able to troubleshoot the OS or non-working application as necessary.Hope that gives you a better idea of the difference.As to how to create a boot disk? I will let more knowledgeable staff or members assist you.

Hello I'm wanting to complete a factory restore (reinstall operating systems, app's and personal doc's) to clean & freshen-up my desktop computer. With that in mind, I went to create a set of recovery disks (with original factory software) and was told I've made a set of disc's in the past. The system only lets you make one copy. The only disc's I can locate are labled "reapair" ... are these the same as "recovery" ??? Any constructive feedback would be appreciated. Blessings XTC
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Operating-Systems-and-Recovery/Are-quot-Repair-Disc-s-quot-the-same-thing-as-quot-Recovery/td-p/5650350For the first week or two using windaow 7 on my new computer, a little balloon regularly poped up saying do you want to make a recovery disc, if so you will need 3 dvd's, anyway, i want to do this now but the balloon doesnt ask me anymore, so I did as follows,
•In Control Panel, click System and Security, and then click Backup and Restore
•In the left pane, click Create a system recovery disk
•Insert a blank CD in the DVD, and then click Create Disk
But this only took 1 dvd, not three like it originaly told me, have I done the right think, or is there another way I can create one using the 3 dvd's?
It sounds like you made a "System Repair Disk." This will let you make some repairs for which you would normally use an installation DVD--for example, repairing the boot manager as I did yesterday. Also, if you "create a system image" and some day find your hard drive is trashed you can boot to the System Repair Disk and re-image the hard drive from your saved system image. Personally I use Macrium Reflect Free for this, as I don't quite trust that Microsoft got this right their first try.
You can use the Recovery partition to "recover" your system to the way it was when you first turned it on. That is, as long as the special boot manager is not damaged and the hard drive is not inoperable. So, it's best to make your one legal set of Recovery disks--the 3 DVDs required for Windows 7. You may think that you will do the system image mentioned above and not need this, but it's cheap insurance to make the DVDs. If and when you decide to sell, gift or donate the computer it would be good to 'Recover" it to factory defaults and hand the new owner the Recovery disks.
This feature--to create the 3 DVD Recovery set--will probably be "hidden" in some of the stuff your laptop manufacturer installed, and probably not found through Control Panel.
You may have some sketchy paper documentation with this info, or can find it on the manufacturer's web site, or if you tell us the brand somebody may have the answer.
My sisters packard bell notebook model (easynote) E-3242 running windows XP. After installing SP2, XP wont load, even in safe mode.

What type of recovery disk is this?
If its a factory recovery disk - You probably have to actually boot from the CD. So you'll have to enter the BIOS and change the boot order to boot the CD drive before the HDD.

I would not suggest that you delete the recovery partition. What if the recovery dvds dont work? Granted there are ways to clean install win7, but unless you're desperate for hdd space, just leave that recovery partition alone.
If you still want to delete it, you can do so from the advanced options in the HP recovery manager that comes preinstalled. Take a look here.

This is the Introduction Thread and not the place for technical matters.
Moved.
Without a recovery disc what can I do to erase the frozen hard drive on my Windows XP. Also the computer tower was built by a third party so there isn't a specific brand. How do I go about recovering?
"Recovery" is a word that applies to pre-built computers, such as Dell, HP, etc.... The recovery data, if it is not on a disk from the factory, is saved in a (usually) hidden partition on the HD, and you can access this data to do a "Recovery" (or "Restore") by a keystroke on boot. Dells I think are F11, others might be the F2 key.
If you format the drive and destroy the partition, you will lose all your recovery data, and will need to either get one from the manufacturer or by a retail copy of XP.
If the system is NOT pre-built, then the PID (Product ID) should help you to identify which type of O/S reinstallation disk you need. If the PID is valid (meaning legal) you can reinstall with any compatible disk, as it is the license that is sold (and protected) and not the data itself.
You'll need to know:
Either XP Home or XP Pro
Either Upgrade, OEM or Retail
Either SP0, SP1, SP2, SP3
Windows Media Center Edition, and if so, which version.

I recently bought myself a new computer, a Medion 8828 which included a recovery disc.
Now, I'm thinking of putting the OS on my new, external HD, but is it possible to use the included recovery disc, or will it only willing to install on the existing, internal HD? I am willing to make the external HD the C-drive.
The reason for wanting to do this, is because my father bought the same, exact computer, and it would be cool to insert my disc and thereby make it like my own computer, is this even possible?
Thanks,
Jonas

its a violation of microsofts eula. The operating system can only be installed and activated on one computer at a time.
I want to make sure that I got everything I need as I used an old USB memory stick to make my recovery disk.My surface crashed last month and I had to go back to W 8.1. This PC came with 10 so I don't want to risk putting anything else on this USB. You are only allowed one download so I want to know what should be on the memory USB.

No recovery disks came with my computer
how do you restore windows xp home edition to factory defaults without any cds? unfortunatly my dell dimesion e510 did not come with them. It also will not restore and has no listing for recovery. I hit maintainance in bios and it will not default either. Any ideas?
Some computers come with a Recovery Partition, you may need to check with your manufacture the process of these steps to take
i have a home built system with vista ultimate. i am trying to create recovery discs! there is no recovery manager, what r my options?
Hello Ripzx, and welcome to Vista Forums.
Since you do not have a OEM (store bought) brand computer (ex: Dell, HP, Gateway, etc.....) from looking at your system specs, you will not have a OEM recovery manager type program installed.
Instead, you can create a recovery disc from Vista to use to only repair Vista with and not be able to reinstall Vista with though.
If this is not what you meant, then please clarify.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
I have a new Lenovo laptop with OEM Win Pro bit -- TB HDD - all I have done so far is charge the new PC a Recovery from Disc battery and booted Recovery Disc from a new PC nothing else no updates no installs yet I assume the spinner has an OEM recovery partition - when I create a Recovery Media disc or USB I have never done it before is the OEM Recovery partition also quot saved quot as part of the Recovery media My year old Toshiba is in bad shape because of my ignorance - since joining sevenforums com I have followed various tutes about SandBox Imaging Recovery and Repair without actually doing any of them - with the new Lenovo I would like to do a planned considered setup before I start using the new PC First Recovery and Repair discs - this article by Andy Rathbone has helped me to understand I need both Recovery Disc and Repair Disc Am I better off with USB thumb drive or DVDs which will last longer - I plan on Win lasting me for the next years I wish Is there anything I should know or do before creating those quot media quot Thank you
I have a Lenovo Ideapad Laptop. Its several years old, but when I first got it I created the recovery media (discs). The discs are supposed to allow restoring, even if you have a hard drive failure. I don't think it will include the recovery partition.
If you want to make a backup that contains all the partitions on the hard drive, a program such as Macrium Reflect is needed to make a "backup" of the entire hard drive to either another hard drive or possibly USB media.

Im not sure what part of the forum section this belongs to so pleas efeel free to move it.
So my laptop has been acting strange recently and i cant seem to open or delete some folders , it tells me im not the proper owner. There is only 1 owner and 1 account on my latop and thats me , full admin.
This problem started after fiddleing around with Media Center and sharing with my xbox. I couldnt resolve the problem so i have decided to use my recovery disc.
I built the disc back when i recieved the laptop . The problem here is i dont know what exactly the process is to reinstall everything.
Do i just insert the disc 1 by 1 and run them?
or is there a proper way of doing it? Any help will be much appreciated. thank you in advance.
Hello Technetic,
If you mean for OEM factory recovery discs, then it really depends on what brand and model your laptop is. If you could post back with what brand you have, I'll be happy to see if I may be able to find detailed instructions for this for you.
Typically, you would boot from the 1st recovery disc to start the factory restore of Windows 7 though.

I can not find where I can purchase/acquire one on Lenovo's site. I swear I have been everywhere. I need the disc because the HD that came with the laptop has died, so recovery partition is not an option. The laptop is out of warranty, does that mean I am not allowed to order another disc? What's the deal Lenover!??!

When I purchased my new computer, with W7, I made a 'System Repair Disc' & a complete 'System Image'. Now it's asking/reminding me to make a 'Recovery Disc'. Is that different from the first two?

.
Sounds like the process where you duplicate the contents of the recovery partition on DVD in case the hard disk goes. It's provided by the system builder (HP, Dell, etc) and not part of Windows per say.

ok so i boot up using the XP recovery disc - green light starts flashing - things are humming. then is slows down , the light goes off and I get a black screen with a single cursor?
any advice?
do you have a different CD drive to try it on? Do you have another computer with burning software? If so, then make an ISO of your boot disc and re-burn it choosing the slowest write speed. Try that.
http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f10/xp-recovery-disc-373511.htmlI ordered a reinstall USB today. I am extremely disappointed that I have to pay for a disc image that I could easily download to my own USB. This is the first computer I've bought without a reinstallation disk in the box. I assumed I would be able to find one without additional cost when I needed it. To my surprise, there were no options less than $43.45 left available to me. I own the license to Windows 8 software that I cannot access without paying HP extra.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Software-and-How-To-Questions/Recovery-Disc/td-p/5839452Hi Dell Support,
I have upgraded my laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. After working on Windows 10 for some days i found some issues with it, so i wanted to degrade it to Windows 8 back again using the recovery disc which i got from Dell Technical support. Now i see that disc is not working properly and i don't have any recovery backup spare with me. If i am correct using recovery option from control panel will not give the genuine OS which i had earlier. Please help me out on this with a solution. Awaiting your response
Thanks
Mahesh K
If its a DVD it won't boot in a UEFI BIOS with SecureBoot. Dell Technical Support should have sent USB Recovery Media. You can rollback to Windows 8.1 by going to settings → Update and Security → Recovery → Go Back to Windows 8.1
You can alternatively Download Windows 8.1 with Update 1 installation media:

if i were to erase everything to dual boot installing XP first then Vista, would my Vista recovery disc load the Vista system back onto the computer?
yes, your system recover vista from your recovery,but xp hide means you can,t get any option to boot xp.after recover your system.
