Horizon 2e Chinese version. Recovery Partition deleted. Windows can't install!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi all
I bought a new Lenovo Horizon 2e, 2 days ago here in China. The OS was Windows 8.1 Chinese version. I researched a bit before and it said that Windows 8.1 Language can be changed so I thought I would be able to change it to English.
I went into the Language settings and there I was supposed to be able to download an English language pack. The option wasn't there and I found out that this version of windows is a single language version. I then thought I will install my own English copy of Windows 8.1. I started the installation and I deleted all the partitions on the harddrive because even the OKR was in Chinese, so no use to keep those. After the point where Windows created all the partitions for the installation and you click next where Windows quick formats the harddrive and goes to the next screen to start copying files, it pops up with error code 0x80070057 and says it cant be formatted. I then tried the same with Windows 7, same thing, then I tried with Windows 10 Technical preview and the same thing happened. I also tried to clean install Windows on a another pc and Backed up the Hardrive and Restore it to the Horizon with Acronis True Image. To no avail. It's as if the bios is not allowing another OS to be installed. There is an option in bios that allows for other operating systems to be installed. This is all enabled. I have no way of recovering the Horizon now. It doesn't come with recovery disks because it has no optical drive. How can I get an operating sytem on it? Please help
I actually confess not reading but did you read this:

Factory recovery partition on windows 8 in Asus X551CALaptop
I purchased Asus x551CA notebook on 22nd Feb 2014. After about 45 days I formated hard disk partition
on which Activated Windows 8 operating systme was installed.I formatted an repartitioned HDD.
And I installed and uninstalled windows8 and windows 8.1 90 days enterprise evaluation edition. Because of
these link to factory recovery partition is broken.
I have created system image disks which are working to restore system. I forgot how I created these disks. May be
I did control panel>recovery>file history>windows 7 file recovery. So these disks should be System Image Backup.
I think these are not OEM recovery disks. When I insert these disks during reset and refresh I get a message
that "Media you inserted is not valid". And I am able to create system image on second partition of hard disk of
my laptop.I have also got product key of windows 8 by a program jellybean keyfinder.
To restore from discs created by me. I insert a repair disc then I go to UEFI settings. Then I change boot preferences to
boot from DVD. Then I go to Restore form images. Then computer asks me to insert my discs no from 1 to 4. One after the other. Then computer restore to windows 8. It looks alike as it was factory made.
-When I try to create a recovery drive by going to control panel> Recovery >create a recovery drive
Recovery drive dialog box appears but with grayed check box of "copy the recovery partition from PC
to the recovery drive". Please tell me how can it come with not grayed dialog box so that I can copy
recovery partition to USB pen drive? When notebook was new this check box was not grayed and I was able to
copy recovery partition on USB pen drive.
-Since I cannot copy recovery partition to USB therefore I also cannot reset and refresh windows 8 on
the basis of USB. It was working when notebook was new.
-And reset or refresh also not working on the basis of hidden recovery partition. How can it will start
working? It was working when notebook was new.
-I have tried diskpart command do make hidden recovery partition visible. But it becomes invisible
after restart. I used following command
1. Command Prompt Run as administer.
2. diskpart
3. list disk
4. select disk 0
5. list partition
6. select partition 6
7. assign letter z
by these commands hidden recovery partition becomes visible and again when I restart laptop it becomes invisible.
And I am not able to do anything with recovery partition E.G. copy the recovery partition to USB
When I created a system image using the following command I became able to refresh my PC. May be it was refreshing
on the basis of newly created image.
recimg /createimage D:\IMAGE81
recimg /setcurrent D:\IMAGE81
But it is also not working this time and it gives a message "Drive on which windows is installed is locked unlock it".
May because I installe AVG antivirus it locked the drive.
I also used REAgentC command
reagentc /setreimage /path F:\Recovery\WindowsRE\ /target C:\Windows /bootkey 4300
Maybe I executed above command once again I used D: instead of F:
And I was able to refresh PC but I was not able to Reset. And I was not able to copy recovery partition on USB
by going to control panel> Recovery >create a recovery drive.
Recovery drive dialog box appears but with grayed check box of "copy the recovery partition from PC
to the recovery drive".
((I am giving images of computer management in first_image no partition was created it was in factory made state. And
in second_Image I created an extra disk partition which is present on disk this time.)) I cannot give images because
of my account is not varified.
So I am giving output of diskpart command to understand disk partitions.
C:\>diskpart
DISKPART> list disk
Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
Disk 0 Online 465 GB 1024 KB *

Volume 4 SYSTEM FAT32 Partition 100 MB Healthy System
Volume 5 Recovery NTFS Partition 900 MB Healthy Hidden
Volume 6 Restore NTFS Partition 20 GB Healthy Hidden
in the beginnig instead of D: (130 GB) and F:(128 GB) there was only one partition D:(258 GB) 130+128 GB.
Please tell me answers of following quesions:-
1. Tell me how to regain the link to factory recovery drive.
2. Please tell me how can I refresh and reset PC on the basis of Hidden Factory Recovery Partition. And how can I copy Hidden Factory Recovery Partition on USB and DVDs. I have 16GB USB pen drive and a DVD writer. So I can use these two storage media
only and except these I have 500GB HDD on my laptop.
4. I want to know that Factory recovery partition is useful or not. Should I delete it.
3. I have DVDs as I said above. On the basis of these I can reinstall windows 8. When I created these discs windows 8 was present on laptop. Currently windows 8.1 is present on laptop. Please tell me how can I create my own hidden recovery partition for
windows 8. I have upgraded to windows 8.1. So please tell me can I create my own hidden recovey partition for windows 8.1.
5. Can I download contents of factory recovery partition from internet.
6. Should I go to shopkeeper. He repairs computers as well. Probably he will manage for me to get Recovery partition discs. In this case these DVDs may be different from my DVDs as I mentioned above. Maybe only thing I get from these discs that I will
able to reset and refresh computer.
7. Microsoft shoult create a program that can re-establish link to factory recovery partition. And this program should be able to create new hidden recovery partition as well. As I have upgraded to windows 8.1. So I think I should have a new hidden recovery partition
for Windows 8.1. I think I can above thing my other way. If I create new set of DVDs by going to control panel>recovery> file history>System Image Backup. It will create discs for windows 8.1. And I will able to restore system to windows
8.1 by these discs. And for windows 8 I have already discs. But these discs will only work by changing boot options(by choosing UEFI) and image recovery. And reset and refresh functions will not work then in such situation factory recovery partition
will become useless. Then such situation I should delete factory recovery partition as it is useless.
8. At beginnign I also tried AI recovery burner. After trying it for 2-3 days I came to know that AI recovery burner is not for windows 8. There should be a tutorial for these thing so that people like me not waste their time.I used a software named UNDELETE on my hidden recovery partition to recover it. I get some files by this software. Important thing is that I got a 2.84 GB file named 00eebc9d.rb in dir D:\recovered1\Files Detected by their Signatures\Unknown Application\.rb.
This file may be useful. Please suggest me how can I use these files to reset and refresh my OS. I used some dir commands as follows to get list of these files:
dir /s >f:\list.txt
dir /s /a:s >f:\list2.txt
Some files were system files so these file were not shown by first dir command. So I used second dir command.
Output of dir /s >f:\list.txt

Kindly guide me how can I use my hidden recovery partition to reset and refresh by use of these files. -
Need to re-install Windows, but I have no recovery partition or Windows DVD
Dear Reader,
Recently Windows got broken on my Toshiba Satellite L650-170.
I have tried to use my back-up, but the back-up utility refused my back-ups.
After some research the disk appears to be healthy, however all partitions on the disk seem to be damaged somehow.
So I am without both a Windows Disk nor Recovery Partition.
How can I get Windows back on my notebook using the windows key attached to it?
(A friend told me that using another windows 7 disk wont work)
Kind Regards,
PeterHi Peter
If you dont have access to original recovery partition the question is: what do you want to have installed on your notebook?
If you want to have factory settings again you must install OS using original Toshiba recovery disc. You can order it on http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
If you want to have own OS installation you can use original Microsoft disc with valid license code. Product key at the bottom of your notebook cannot be used for activation.
If you have more questions you are welcome. -
i was installing windows 8 on mac by boot camp and after i put the windows code and choose the partition i formatted the boot camp sector it said windows can not install on this sector because it is gpt
Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
if you erased your recovery partition
what OS originally came on your Mac.
I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap, because you didn't mention it.
That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
If you still have your recovery partition:
boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
(the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks). -
I have an HP Touchsmart IQ524 which the hard drive crashed. I replaced the hard drive with the exact same model. I run the Recovery CDs (which I purchased from HP website) and it goes all the way through the process and after the reboot I get a message that "Windows can not install software on this hardware" - so it never completes the process. I have formatted the hard drive and bought and returned 3 hard drives. Any suggestions and assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Hi:
I love recovery disks when they work, and HATE them when they don't.
Fortunately, I have a workaround for you which isn't as good as a recovery disk, but it is better than pulling your hair out, and getting nowhere.
First of all, before you try this, did you perform the recovery with only the keyboard and mouse connected?
Did you buy the same size or larger hard drive?
If your answer to either question is no, then that may be the problem.
Now to the workaround...
If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
I selected No, make the ISO file.
It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.

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

I have an early 2011 macbook air on 10.7.5 I want to use find my mac but it says i need a recovery partition. If i buy 10.85 will it come with a recovery partition and will i be able to use find my mac
If you are using 10.7, you should have a recovery partition, now. Installing 10.8 will install or update the recovery partition if it can. If you have a drive partitioning scheme setup that prevents the recovery partition from being added, then I don't think 10.8 will change that.
Do you have a recovery partition now? -

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

In MAC 10.5.8 I see that latest Java version is 1.5.0_30, can I install latest Java 1.6 version in MAC if yes, how can I install that?
This is a User-to-User forum. We do not have any knowledge into what Apple will or will not do.
However, based on past history, it is unlikely Apple will invest anything except critical security updates into Mac OS X 10.5. I could be wrong.
If you really REALLY need Java 1.6 on your Mac, you should consider upgrading to a newer version of Mac OS X. -
My laptop has broken and I am decided to migrate to a Mac. Is my Creative suite for Windows can be installed on my new Mac?

Recovery partition deleted and formatted
Hello
I have accidentally deleted recovery partition of my compaq presario cq61 (win7 home premium 64bit) while trying to install another operating system. Before the accident I had the C drive and the D drive marked Recovery, now after deleted the other operating system I have the C drive and a D drive marked as System.
It's possible to recover this partition from an image back-up I made before?
Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi Michele,
Recovering the recovery partition is not that likely to be a possibility with a free program. The chances of restoring it from the windows backup is also quite slim.
If your brother's notebook is absolutely identical then using it is a viable solution to the problem. If it is not identical then it will be a waste of time as the recovery manager itself will refuse to work.
The best option is to use a recovery disk that is made specifically for or created by your notebook. $30.00 is a lot cheaper than purachasing an operating system.
You can backup the current disk partitions with a program like the Paragon program I provided you a link to in an earlier post. At least that way you will have a reliable image of the current situation on your notebook's hard disk.
You can also legally reinstall Windows by using the Microsoft Windows license on the certificate of authenticity on the bottom of your notebook.
Best regards,
erico

Okay... so Im a complete idiot and i deleted the recovery partition completely.
When I went to restore the computer (using Hp restore disks i bought) I would tap f11 and it would say Starting system restore in the bottom left hand part of the screen.... but after that just a black screen.... i have two of the same computers and the other one loads up the recovery files fine when i restarted the computer.
HELPIf both your machines are the exact same models & hardware you could clone the good hard drive reovery partition to the hard drive which has been deleted.
Personally I would take this opportunity to learn how to setup using windows install disc & make your own backup disc or clone of C drive & be in control yourself.
HP recovery is next to useless really & many tools & tutorials on backing up & cloning drives are available via Google & in the long run a bit of time spent learning now will reward you ten fold in the future ...

Satellite T135D-S1324 Recovery partition deleted
Hello,
The recovery partition has been deleted off my laptop by mistake and as it was being used by another family member, the system is a mess and would like to restore it back to the out-of-box state.
The standard methods (0/F8/F12 keys) recommended by Toshiba do not work as expected, and so the I found the last method is to order recovery media dvd's from Toshiba.
That's where the problem begins, as this laptop was bought in the US and brought over to the UK.
I have found the recovery media needed on the US site, however they do not ship to the UK, nor can I even order it as I would need a US billing address.
And so, I was hoping if anyone could advise me on what options I have.
Thank you in advance,
BT10
Message was edited by: bt10In my opinion you should install own OS version. Check Toshiba US download page and check which operating systems are supported. For supported operating systems Toshiba offers all necessary drivers, tools and utilities for download.
Obtain Microsoft installation disc, install OS and later download and install all drivers and Toshiba specific tools and utilities.
OK you must install them one by one but I think you can do it.
F you need some help or assistance you are welcome.
