How to recover only to C:\

I tried to find a similar topic in the past but I failed so I am asking everybody here:
My Qosmio is partitioned in 3 Partitions. After 1 year of work the system grows slower and slower. Ill try to recover a fresh system from the recovery CD but I rather wouldnt back up the two bigger partitions first and would rather recover only to C:\ instead (it is big enough).
Does anybody know whether this option is available or a full deleting of all the disc is inevitable?
Ill appreciate every answer very much!

Hi
I can confirm this message.
The Recovery CD contains to installation modes.
1. standard mode and 2. expert mode
The standard mode formats the whole HDD and the expert mode formats only the partition where the OS is installed.
PS: I would really recommend using the advanced search. There you can search for expert mode and you will get many solution examples

  • How to recover only the C drive on a Satellite P200-1FJ

    Hi, I have a Satellite P200-1FJ and I want to recover Vista but only on my first partition.
    My HDD is divided in 3 partitions and I don't want to loose data. How can I recover only the C partition using the Product Recovery CD that came with my laptop ?

    Hi,
    There's a specific order in which the downloads will need to be installed. When the flash cards are installed they interact with the Toshiba Product Information tool that is present on the machine; should this not be installed then it will return an error as it thinks the machine is not a Toshiba.
    The downloads you need to install (in order) are:
    TOSHIBA Value Added Package
    TOSHIBA Flash Cards Support Utility
    TOSHIBA Hardware Setup Utility
    TOSHIBA Supervisor Password
    TOSHIBA SD Memory Utilities
    TOSHIBA ConfigFree
    TOSHIBA Assist
    What I would recommend is removing whatever Toshiba software you have installed first and then try it in that order and see what happens :)
    Let me know how you get on,
    Regards,

  • How to "completely" reinstall FF, and recover ONLY cookies & Bookmarks?

    I installed FF 3.6.10, and made the mistake of importing IE8 Settings (hooks...!), along with Bookmarks & cookies!
    FF has been my primary browser for quite awhile, and I have added Many new bookmarks/cookies.
    Now I want to "completely" uninstall 3.6.10, and install 3.6.11.
    I want to recover Only FF cookies & Bookmarks, and Not import anything from IE8?- no Settings for sure!?
    How can this be done?

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • How can recover database using only Full Export ?

    Hi,
    I have one query , i have only Full export is given database , after full export sucessfully
    database Crash by mistacally, how can recover it, i have only export is given no backup is taken (RMAN,COLD or HOT) statergy is use , How can recover it.

    You need to recreate the database from scratch as imp requires a working database.
    You could already do this by transforming the results from
    'alter database backup controlfile to trace', a trace file containing a 'create controlfile' statement, into a 'create database' script.
    After that step you apply your import. Everything after that import is lost forever.
    One would ask for a sanity check of management and personell of a company, which has no backup strategy in place.

  • Does anyone know how to recover deleted contacts?  For some reason contacts with only phone numbers have been deleted the rest of my contacts are there.  It appears that I only have the contacts on my phone that i have on my laptop.

    Does anyone know how to recover contacts that have been gone missing or have been deleted somehow.  The contacts that are missing are the ones where I only had phone numbers (no email address).  The ones where I have both phone numbers and email addresses are ok. They are the same ones I have on my laptop.  I dont know what I did to cause the ones with phone number only to disappear.

    Good Afternoon irish357,
    I know the importance of saving and updating your contacts. What type of phone do you have? If you are using Backup Assistant, you have the ability to sync the contacts between your laptop and phone. You will also be able to see if all your contacts are stored on the online portion of the application versus the phone itself. The contacts should be the same for both online and the phone.
    I have attached a link below for your reference.

  • How to recover lost folders and files - Pls help, help...

    Some days ago I lost all of my 15 GB folders and files that stored in my Macbook Pro hard drive called DATA.  I brought my Macbook pro to an experienced computer tecnicians who providing data recovery services. To his and my suprise, after checking, scanning it a few hours, he said their is no way to recover because he did not find any trails at all.  The computer still seems working properly - I have no problem with any applications.  There are few other folders in the DATA hard disk containing pictures, computer programs still remain.  These lost folders and files contain mainly documents (word, excel, power point, pdf etc) which I accumulated in my many years working  !!!!.  I did not make a back up since last September partly because I think Mac is very safe.
    The computer with me all the time on that day and only my son used Power Point to make a simple presentation on that evening - he can not save it on the folders the he normally use - All the folders and files are gone.
    I will appreciate it very much if any of you can tell me what would be the possible causes and more importanly how to recover the lost folders and files.  They are very very valuable to me.
    Many thanks for your kind attention

    First, did the data actually get deleted, or is it still there somewhere?  Try searching the drive for some of the documents, perhaps it's all just in another folder on that drive.
    If it's truly gone, it's impossible for us to say what might have happened to make it unrecoverable.  Perhaps someone using the computer used Secure Empty Trash, or securely erased empty space on the hard drive.  Perhaps it was overwritten by other stuff before you noticed.  It's possible the hard drive is starting to fail, though this seems like an awfully specific problem for that to be the issue.
    Or perhaps the tech you took the computer to didn't know what he was doing.  Why not try recovering what you can on your own?  See Recovering deleted files.
    You should be aware that no computer is safe.  All computers rely on hardware that may fail and software that can have bugs.  You absolutely MUST maintain a good set of frequently-updated backups...  no fewer than two full backups of anything you don't want to lose.

  • Consignment Sales - Problem : Dual Ex. Duty Paid, but recovered only once

    Dear Experts,
    We are working on Consignment Sales configuration.
    we have done all configuration as per standard practice and observing correct postings.
    Post Goods Issue, we normally have two seperate postings :
                          Set 1 :
                                Ex. Duty Paid Dr
                                Ex. Duty Payable Cr                                                                               
    Set 2 :
                                Customer A/c Dr
                                E. Duty Recovered Cr
                                Sales A/c Cr
    We are using same pricing procedure as that of regular Sales.
    But in trials, we are observing that the Excise Duty Paid  / Payable is getting posted twice, but is recovered only once.
    how do we investigate & correct the error of this dual posting of Ex Duty Paid / Payable. If new pricing procedure is to adopted, what should the change in it?
    pleae help and Yes, wish you all a very happy diwali.
    Experts, please help.

    Hi,
    As per stand.SAP consingment is divided in to four types i.e CF, CI, CR, & CP.
    When you are snding goods to your consingment stock which is in costumer premices, you have to pay Excise duty while moving the goods from yuor manufacturing plant.
    so at that time only you have to pay Excise duty. i.e at the time of consingment fill up only.
    At the time of consingment issue , your actual sales happend means your actual stock will decrease & sales happend.
    See first you have to check from your business that your consingment fill up  price & consingment issue price is same or differnt.
    for example if you are removing goods from your manufacturing plant at price Rs.100/- that time you have to pay Excise duty Rs. 14/- only.
    At the time of Consingment issue if you are saling the same goods may be at the price of Rs. 150 then you have to pay excise only for Rs.50 only . In most of the cases both CF & CI prices are same so you have to create two pricing procedure in which at the time of CF only excise will get calculated & postings will be happend. At the time of CI no excise will get posted only it will show or get printed on invoice , no postings will be hapend. You can do this by making changes at condition type level.
    Please feel free to contact me if still you have any doubt.
    Thanks

  • How to recover song that are "lost", itunes can't find them even though I have downloaded and played them before

    Does anyone know how to recover songs that itunes has "lost"?
    I downloaded them, synced my ipod, songs were added and I was able to play them.
    On a recent sync the songs are suddenly "not found" according to itunes.  I can't locate them in the itunes folder, so I have no idea where itune put them.  BTW-this is not the first time itunes stored songs in a random directory......  Since itune can't find them, they were deleted from my ipod

    Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
    If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
    Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
    I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

  • I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

    I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. I can see the HD but the volume part is greyed out. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

    There are other methodologies of scanning a HD
    which involve data extraction, but loss of metadata is often the result if the directory is corrupt.
    Metadata is the info on what the data IS. 
    Like having all your papers thrown in the air, its all there, but just a giant mess. 
    This is why you always always must have several external HD redundancies of your data.  One isnt enough, neither is two really.

  • Can I recover only C Drive on Satellite A300 with recovery disk?

    Hello there!
    I'm new in the new type of slipstreaming Windows. I was familiar with the old one with Norton ghost. It was easy for me, but I have a problem with the new one. I want to recover only C drive on my laptop with a different size than the factory size.
    I want to delete the first partition and rearrange others because I want bigger partition for my data and small Partition for my system. Can I boot program with CD then insert Toshiba recovery disk and use the Vista image on recovery DVDs to recover only C drive?
    Excuse me for my English. :-)

    Almost all the last night I tried to make a bootable CD from the EISA configuration partition because the only way to recover only C drive is to boot from there. At the last I did it, but now i'm not sure that disk will work when I erase the EISA partition and Image files from the data partition and burn them on a DVD. Now I'm wondering how to contact with the Toshiba engeneers to ask them.

  • How to recover iTunes library from Time Machine on external drive

    Dear Forumers,
    I was not able to solve this problem, hence I decided to open this discussion.
    Recently, I clean installed Yosemite so my new Mac is completely empty.
    I have my time machine backup on my eternal hard drive and would like to restore only specific things - such as iTunes library.
    How do I do it?
    I can locate the iTunes app in the backup file in the external drive but that is just the app - I still don't know how to recover my playlists and songs.
    Moreover, I do not have those songs in the Mac - previously they were in a separate organised folder created by me (inside the "music" folder) and iTunes used it.
    Does iTunes have a copied library of this all?
    Or do I have to copy this folder into Mac and then manually reopen all the songs and sort them into playlists?
    Any advice?
    Thank you in advance.

  • How to recover a TM backup from a NAS drive

    I am using a MBPro from 2011. I lost a lot of family pictures due to my iPhoto library loosing the connection to the original hi-res files. At the moment I try to recover those with Data Rescue4 but it looks I lost quite a lot.
    Now, I do have the following situation:
    Until March 2014 my iPhoto Library resided on my Mac HDD
    The HDD broke and had to be exchanged
    So I moved the iPhoto Library onto a newly bought 2TB external HDD that I connect via USB (a WD MyPassport Ultra)
    Now due to the situation described above, I need to recover the last iPhoto Library that resided on my Mac, but which was never used in iPhoto since the hardware crash
    When I open iPhoto and then TimeMachine, it does not offer me to recover pictures from that last backup, which is from March 2014 and is about 135GB large. I assume the reason is that I haven´t used it in iPhoto, so iPhoto can´t know.
    The TM backup on my NAS, a 4TB Seagate Central is 1,2 TB large. The seagate central cannot be connected to a Mac via USB or wire. According to it´s description, the only way to get data on and off is via ethernet. Having read that TM does not support backing up from a NAS, I assume I need to copy the 1,2 TB backup TM file onto another external HDD that I can attach via USB. Is this correct ? Does this help ?
    And then I would need to recover it - but how given the situation above ??
    I am pretty desperate meanwhile as I´ve been working on this for the last four weekends...
    Within the process of data recovery I bought iPhoto Library Manager, PhotoSweeper and DataRescue4 in order to help recover the data. But I don´t know if this helps here. I´ve tried everything to recover my old files with those tools already.
    I would very much appreciate your advice on how to recover my TM backup.

    You can or should be able to recover the iphoto library directly from the NAS.. you do not need to copy it to a disk.
    TM cannot create a backup from a network source.. but it is very happy using a network target.
    Our friend Pondini wrote extensive notes on recovery of various important files using TM
    See Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There is a link in there to recovery of iphoto in particular under various OS.. but the guy died before Yosemite was inflicted on the Apple Community.
    TM has never worked particularly well since Yosemite.. so I can only offer my hope that the method still works..
    Here is an example of recovery manually of iphoto library from TM backup I did to show how it is done.
    Can't access old files on time capsule
    In Yosemite you might be able to simply right click on the file in Finder.. and it bring up an option to recover it from TM.. of course that would assume TM was going to actually work and that is a bridge too far for Yosemite.
    In the end.. you can of course do a full recovery to a USB drive plugged into your computer.. I have also used that method to get around issues with finding stuff from old backup.. however IMHO the manual method of digging through the backup offers you the best chance of recovery.
    Do protect the TM sparsebundle.. in the end that is the only connection back to you files you have.. so saving a copy of the sparsebundle to a USB drive is not a bad idea.. Certainly do nothing in terms of manipulating the sparsebundle.. you can extract files from it.. copy it to another location.. but make no changes to original sparsebundle on the network drive whatsoever.. so do not continue backups to it or anything like that.
    My strong recommendation btw since Yosemite or even Mavericks was to use Carbon Copy Cloner.. and make a bootable backup of your main operating system and any other drives.. You would not be in this mess if you had .. so for future reference.. TM is not really adequate.

  • How to recover a missing program

    Hi guys
    Im facing an issue on our SLM system where one of the Z programs is missing. I've checked on SE38 and the program is not listed. I have tried to check on Version Management but there are no previous versions.
    The only activity was a EHP 1 Upgrade, but there are no indications where this program  was modified or deleted.
    I've checked the table TADIR and is present. Also checked table TSTC for the transaction name ZPWC and is also in there.
    Since i dont have the original transport since its was brought from an external system, I'd like to check with you guys any idea on how to recover this program. I dont have any clue on how is missing since its not a developement system.
    Any recommendation on how to restore/find this program, would be highly appreciated.

    PS: Also Checked in table VRSD if there is an entry with OBJTYPE = u2018REPSu2019 and OBJNAME = name of the deleted program and no luck.

    I think you will have to go back to the original development system. The versions will be there.

    You cannot use the iTunes store there any longer just as you can no longer use the food store you used to visit.  Unless you can change your country back to the one you used to use you no longer have access to purchases made there which is why it is important you keep backups of all purchases made there.
    The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
    E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

    how can i recover my system from that files without any toshiba utilities?
     You should order the recovery discs from Toshiba.
       Toshiba Europe Backup Media Online Shop
    After you have restored the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents, you should have the recovery utilities and partitions. See the A350 User's Manual (attached) for how to recover after that.
