How to recover windows 8 to HP Spectre xt15?

Hp spectre xt15 15-4011nr
i put a 256gb Samsung 840 pro ssd to replace the original hard drive.
Also, I ordered a recovery media from HP.
i started the recovery with power cord plugged in, and it went through most of it. after the restoring processed, it started to install software. After that, it would restart and tell me the recovery failed.
any thoughts?
PS:I tried the recovery 3 times, and on the fourth time I removed the 32gb ssd that came with the computer, so the whole 32gb ssd+500gb hdd hybriis was removed.

Hey, try this. Put your new 256 SSD back in your computer and then use your recovery DVD's, but before you boot the recovery DVD's go into your BIOS and change the date from 2013 to 2012. If you change the date your recovery should finish and say completed at the end. I know it sounds weird, but just try it. I have the same model computer as you do with a 128GB SSD and ended up with an incomplete recovery every time. Nobody could help me. I read about changing the date and it worked. Let me know!

And here is my question, how can i recover my system from that files without any toshiba utilities? Can i download them or something? What can i do to restore it, because toshiba recovery media is, i think not available. And if it's not so how can i do? My warranty for laptop expired.

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.

Satellite L350D - How to recover Windows?

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my L350D and I removed Windows Vista (and all of my files) by mistake..There was not a windows recovery cd rom when i bought the L350D. What should i do to recover windows vista? Is there any way to have Windows Vista again on my computer without buying the software for a second time? Thank you very much

Hey,
> There was not a windows recovery cd rom
Yes because you have to create this disk yourself using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disk creator but everything about this is mentioned in your user manual.
> What should i do to recover windows vista?
There is only one way to restore the original settings from Toshiba: Its Toshiba recovery disk and if you dont have it you can order it here:

How to recover windows data on an external hard drive formatted in time capsule

Hi there,
In desperate of some help.
I took a windows external hard which had data on it from a windows pc.
Plugged it into my Mac pro 13 and opened Time Machine. Time Machine then mentioned something along the lines of "erase - partion - cannot backup unless erase". It was not in that context but those words and phrases were mentioned. So without thinking i clicked erase.
What happened next was a newly formatted external hard for time machine back up appeared. It actually changed names from "untitled" to "Time Machine Back ups"
Apparently what i now need to do is:
Step 1) Format hard drive back to NTFS
Step 2) Recover the data that was on the hard drive.
What i tried to do is i downloaded software called StellarPhoenixMacDataRecovery and did an advance scan which took about 5 hours. The only info it recovered was what seemed to be system files from the new format. Approx 20mb in size. The data i lost was approx 100gb in size.
Please tell me there is a way to achieve step one and two without having a PHD in computer science and programming or parting ways with my hard earned cash?
Much appreciated

Hi Loner,
Thanks for the reply.
I have located the program and will give it a try.
Cheers.

How to Recover Windows 2008 R2 OS when there is no IMAGE is available ?

I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 OS in my Dell PowerEdge 2950 hardware.
I was doing DCOM settings. I was adding new User group and permission for the newly added user group. After completion of this activity I re-booted my Machine. After re-boot, CTRL + ALT + Delete to unlock this computer appeared on the screen.
As soon as I hit Alt +Ctrl+Delete key, a screen turns to BLACK. During this time I checked the VGA Signal availability to Monitor and it is there. HDD activity is also exist (LED indication).
Then I re-boot the machine and chosen Safe Mode and the case is remain same.
I don't have my C Drive Image to recover (Acronics).
I don't understand show do I recover/repair Windows ....
Someone Pls reply if any solution is exist.

Thanks, for quick reply.
I had tried "Last known good" but did not work.
Remote Login did not came to my mind. Other then this option I tried with all the respect but no positive result. Finally I started from the scratch loading OS.
I was thinking to take an Acronics image before doing DCOM settings. But I was sure that nothing will go wrong as I was just adding new user group. Don't know what has happed to the system.
Last 2 days it was very bad time for me.
Anyway thanks a lot for your support.

How to Recover Window 7 Booting after a Yosemite 10.10.2 Reload

I was working with Apple Technicians to solve a problem that showed up with Yosemite 10.10.2 . They finally gave up and asked me to reload the hard drive with OS X 9. . I reloaded using Time Machine backups. Everything worked and I let Apples software update program update the operating system to 10.10.2 . In the process of reloading, I lost the ability to boot to Windows 7. The window icon never comes up when you boot with the option key depressed.
The bootcamp partition shows on the desk top and the files are apparently good. My question is ' Is there a way to recover booting to Windows without destroying the bootcamp partition?'
Thanks

If you can post the output of the following Terminal commands, a prognosis can be provided.
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
For "sudo" commands, you will be prompted for your password, which will not be echoed back. "sudo" will also warn about improper usage and potential data loss resulting from such "abuse".

How to recover Windows Vista on Satellite A210?

My friend bought Thoshiba Satellite A210. The machine is running slow, so he wants to reinstall Vista.
Can we recover it from hard drive?
He does not have any CD coming with the laptop.
Thanks.

The A210 was definitely delivered with the Toshiba Recovery DVD which would help you to get the notebook back to the factory settings.
As far as I know the A210 was not equipped with the HDD Recovery option and therefore the Recovery DVD should be in the package.
If you dont have the Recovery DVD anymore, then you could order it here:

On an iMac backing up with Time Capsule -- several Firefox windows open w/tabs -- Firefox froze -- had to force quit. In the past the various windows and tabs reappeared on restarted Firefox. Not this time. How to recover windows and tabs.?

I think what I have written (above) sums up my problem. I can't think of anything to add.

When a new bookmark is added to one "device", Sync immediately sends that change to the Sync Server. And if you are watching a different "device" you should see the newly saved bookmark almost immediately. ''At least I have seen it happen that fast when Syncing between two Profiles on my desktop PC and I had both Profiles running and Tiled vertically, with the Bookmarks Sidebar open.''
Keep in mind that internet congestion and Sync Serve load may slow then seemingly "immediate" action down a bit.
As far as '''Tab''' Sync goes, open Tabs are Sync'd to the Server as Firefox is closed. I'm not sure, but I believe '''Tab History''' is Sync'd to the Server as each tab is closed.
I'm not sure if a complete Tab History is Sync'd to a tablet device, or if like on a mobile phone the last 25 or so URL's are sync'd as "history" to the mobile device.
Sorry, I can't advise you on whether to purge your data or to create another Sync account, I have never used those features. I am surprised that you don't have another email account to use to set up a 2nd account; it isn't that hard to create another email account at Gmail.

How to recover my SSD from simple drive under windows

hello,
it starts when i used the bootcamp to partition my 256GB SSD to install windows in my MBA, the target is to have iOS & WIndows7 each in separate partition of course + 3rd partition for my data.
so everything went all right until i get to Windows manager>driver manager then shrink the windows partition, this done successfully, and the new Unknown partition appears, accidentally i converted it to a simple Drive, this converted all the SSD to simple drive.
later once MBA reboots, Mac and Recovery partitions are not there, they disappear.
the question is
1. either how to roll this activity back?
2. or, how to recover my MBA to factory defaults?

How old is your Mac Air? If it is one of the late 2011 models or a 2012 model then you can use Internet Recovery to Re-Partition the drive as ONE Partition. You need to do that to clear out all the problems you now have.
To use the Internet Recovery system you hold down either Command+r keys or Command+Option+r keys at startup and hold them down until you see a Spinning Globe in the certer of the screen.
If Command+r doesn't work then you use the Command+Option+r keys. One or the other will get you to the internet Recovery system.
Right when you used Windows to repartition the Windows partition it screwed up your whole system. You CAN NOT do that, Ever. Once you create a Boot Camp partition to install Windows in you have to Leave it Alone and there is no other way to install Windows on a Mac that also runs OS X.
There is NO way to FIX your system other then to completely wipe the drive be Re-Partitioning the drive as one partition and starting over with the install of OS X, Programs and personal files.
Sorry but I thought I made that clear in my first post.
If your system did not originally come with Lion installed and is older then a 2011 model then you will need to dust off the Original System Discs that came with your system and start with those as systems older then 2011 models can not use Internet Recovery.
You can only have One Partition for Windows, the one you originally create with the Boot Camp Assistant program.
You can have multiple partitions made by OS X and one of those could be formatted FAT so both Windows and OS X can use it.
But with only a 256GB drive you are going to run out of space someplace, on OS X or Windows, and even more so if you again partition the drive to include a third partition.
