I deleted my recovery and hptools partition

laptop model hp probook 6560b
operationg system window 7 proffesional 64

Satellite L755-S9530WH (PSK2YU-091023)
Probably this one in white color instead of silver. Right?

what should i do to get the recovery partition back? ... get back all the HDD space on one partition C the way i bought it
Restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using the Toshiba recovery discs.
Before doing that, back up the data drives.
If you insist on creating an additional partition, shrink the C partition and put it in the space created. Best to use a third-party tool.

That is indeed unfortunate. You will need to order a recovery disk set from HP or an HP Partnet. Here is how to order a recovery disk set.
Kind regards,

How to delete the hdd and re-partition during the installation.

Hi,
I am new to Arch, currently I have a laptop that installed with Opensuse os, now I want to switch it to Arch entirely.
So, I need to delete the whole partitions that previously created when install Openesuse. I just want to install single Arch on the machine only.
How can I do it?
Thanks

Yea you can set up your scheme all with gparted. Keep in mind though, that is just formatting your disk correctly, no files will be installed, just the disk setup for arch to install to.
So when you get into gparted what your goal is going to be is to set up your disk for install. I used the scheme of
3 partitions,
one for root 20GB - /
one for swap 2GB
and one for home 80GB- /home
This is a pretty common config and I think it is best but it depends on your situation and what you want, thats pretty standard though.
So that's what you'll have set up when you leave gparted live cd and then boot to your arch cd, all your partitions set up and ready for arch to install its files to.
Also, arch wiki is really killer wiki, I mean the guys did an awesome job on the beginners guide, but there's nothing wrong with having extra reference guides. I used this one with the arch wiki:
http://lifehacker.com/5680453/build-a-k … he-process
I would take a look at them both.
And i would have them both open when your doing this whole thing, so hopefully you have a tablet or a cell phone to have these pages open while you install.
And like pks said, you don't have to use gparted live cd, its just recommended in the beginners guide. I did use it, and i thought it made it a lot easier. But if you are familiar with command line disk editing, go for it!
EDIT: PS man i dont know about you but i always like to have extra partitions on my disk so I can test other linux distrobutions. It kinda sounds like you are testing them, you have centos and now arch, are you sure your not going to want to install more later? Cause if you maybe want to and you have a big enough hard drive your not pressed for space you might want to create your arch install partitions and have an extra couple for another distro in the future.
Like me I installed arch, and now im installing Gentoo to try it out, i made extra partitions beforehand.
So I made my arch ones:
sda1 - /
sda2 - swap
sda3 /home
then for Gentoo
sda4 - /
sda5 /home
and they would be sharing swap partition. So i had all these partitions set up before I installed anything to the disk. Just an idea Good luck!

Recovery and EFI System Partitions both reading 100% Free after I Factory Reset

I own a Hp Envy dv7 Notebook PC running Windows 8 64Bit for about 1 year now. I recently did a Factory Reset, now my Recovery and EFI Partitions say 100% Free on both partitions. I used the recovery disks I made two days after I purchased computer.

Hi,
Is it "Factory Reset" you mentioned inside Windows(Change PC settings\General\Reset)? After you execute this feature, it would remove all the file in your current system drive and reinstall your system in fact. However it won't make any influence with
other drive.
In addition, generally speaking, OEM Recovery and EFI partitions should be hidden, how did you find them 100% free? I'm sorry for your loose, to fix this problem, you may need contact HP support for further assistance.

Accidentally deleted OS X and recovery partition

Hello, I was playing around with dual booting Ubuntu on my Macbook Pro and it seems like I accidentally deleted my mac partition. Only ubuntu boots on it now.
I tried all the recovery startup commands but none of them work, leading me to believe I also deleted the recovery partition.
Any help in reinstalling OS X on my machine would be greatly appreciated.

What is the EXACT model/year MBP that you have and what is the OSX?
Ciao.

".. recovery disks do not support this computer.." and I deleted my recovery partition

So I dutiful created Recovery Disks, a set of 4 DVDs. I than resized my Windows 7 partition and deleted the Recovery Partition; to make room for Ubuntu. I want to recover my laptop to original install using the Recovery Disk set.
My laptop boots from the Recovery Disk and reports:
"The system recovery disks do not support this computer. You are not able to restore this system with these disks."
My system is stock:
HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC
BIOS F.0C - 3/30/2010
This will teach me not to buy original Windows OS CDs!
Ideas?

I don`t know if this will help you ,but if you have had your system board replaced your original recovery disks won`t work as they look for the serial number ex factory,as i had a similar problem,and ended up getting new disks from hp with my new serial number from the bios.Hope this helps.

Lenovo G570 - I delete my recovery partition, recovery DVD doesn't work.

Hi!
First of all - sorry for my english.
I have problem with my Lenovo G570.
I make a backup DVD with system by OKR (4DVD). Then by accident i DELETED my recovery partition. When i try to boot from these DVD i get error: "The program cannot restore the system partition because its structure is incorrect ,you may have to recreate the partition to continue".
My partitions looks like this:
C: New installation of Windows 7 enterprise trial
D: Lenovo (default partition with drivers and backup)
Hidden empty partition where recovery was.
What should i do now?

one key recover won't work when you delete the hidden partition. there is only one way to fix this issue that is shipping back to service to reset the hdd its default ( lenovo may charge you )

X61: Can I delete the recovery partition?

Can I delete the recovery partition on my x61? Now that I have Windows 7 installed I have no need for it and would like to use the 5gb. I have found instructions to use diskpart to delete the partition. Do I need to do anything else to ensure my machine boots into the C: partition?

Yes you can. I did it with Acronis Disk Director yesterday. All worked fine. You can also use other programs like gparted. Greets Ensonn

Rescue and Recovery and the Hidden Service Partition

When I got my G41 ThinkPad in November 2004 it had a Hidden Service Partition
of size 693 Mb. I'm a fan of Rescue and Recovery and upgraded it successfully
up through version 4.0, but when I tried to upgrade to 4.1 and later to 4.2 I got
an error that said there was not enough free space. After I learned that the error
was referring to free space in the Hidden Service Partition I had my hard drive
repartitioned so the Service Partition was 4 Gb. R & R 4.2 then installed, and I'm
now on version 4.21.0016.00.
The other day I noticed that my free space on C:\ had dramatically increased, and
on further investigation I found that my Hidden Service Partition was again 693 Mb.
I don't know how this happened, unless it was the result of my starting to rejuvinate
my system and then later cancelling out of that processs and doing a full restore. I
still get the 4.2 Rescure and Recovery menu on hitting the blue Access IBM button
when I boot, and it seems to work as expected.
My question is: Should I have my HDD repartitioned again to make a 4 GB Hidden
Partition?

Hi,
I think your laptop is not set to boot from the DVD-rom. You have to 1st go to bios and set the 1st boot device to be the dvd-rom. After that, insert the recovery startup disc and it should take you to the recovery menu.
BTW, you should be able to recover from the service partition as long as you have not deleted it, even if windows is screwed up. Make sure you press the blue Thinkvantage button or the F11 key at startup and only then will it take you to the recovery menu.
Hope it works.

I accidentally deleted my recovery partition. Any way to get it back without taking it to the Genius bar?

Like I said... I accidentally deleted the recovery partiton while in Windows (bootcamp), thinking it was a partition on an external drive.
NOTE: Don't mess around with the system and drives when you are tired!
Now, is there wany way of etting it back without buying a utility for $99, or visitin the Genius bar? And If I have to take it to Apple, will it get wiped? With those two Q's asked, out of curiosity I tried booting with Command R and was able to get to the re-install option for Mountain Lion (but didn't actually do anything). With the Cmd R option and live download, do I really need the partition?
Thanks.

Unless someone has come up with some third party utility, I fear you will have to at least reinstall the OS X partition. At worst, you may even need to redo the entire drive and hose the BC setup as well.
First try cloning the OS X partition onto an external drive, wipe and reinstall OS X, the migrate the stuff on the external clone back in (this recovers the apps, files and configs. Not the OS).
Command-R is working cause the Mac is pulling the Recovery boot code off Apple's servers. If you're stuck somewhere with no reasonably speedy Internet, you'd be stuck. Hence the convenience of having a local version of the thing.

I can not delete my recovery partition using HP recovery on win 7

Hi there,
as the title already says it, i can't delete my recovery partition using the HP software. I mean, there is such option like deleting it, but it is grey and i can not access it, i click and nothing happens. I already made my recovery flash drive and would like to get rid of the unnecessary taken disk space. Any sollutions?

Hi,
This assumes that Windows 7 was the original OS that your notebook came with.
If you created a set of Recovery Discs you can use these to reinstall the original OS - they will also re-create the Recovery Partition on the Hard Drive as well as reinstalling all your original software. Remember this is a destructive process, so back up any personal files etc that you wish to keep before reinstalling the Operating System.
If you don't have your original Recovery Discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00810334&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.

Can i restore my hp laptop to its factory settings even if i have deleted the recovery partition?

i deleted my recovery partition from mt computer. but i want it back now. please help. i do have the recovery disks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Yes, it will work fine. Performing 'Factory Reset' using your Recovery Discs will format the entire drive before reinstalling Windows 7, software and drivers that originally came with the notebook and will re-create the Windows 7 Recovery Partition.

I think I have deleted my recovery partition

I think I have deleted my recovery partition on my 15" retina macbook. how would I go about restoring it?

Download the Mountain Lion installer from the Mac App Store and re-install the OS. It should create the recovery partition.

Boot camp how to delete osx and merge partitions for windows 7?

Im installing windows 7 through boot camp but without a dvd. Im using a installer from my university. I can only install it on a partition becouse i dont have the disc. It is done over the network. I have tried deleting the mac osx partition in windows and expanding the windows one, but osx is on the left of windows so it will not expand. Is there any way possible to delete osx and expand a windows partition to the entire drive? i know its not possible in windows but mabye some third party tool. I would preffer it to be free but anything is less than the 200 dollors i would have to spend getting another liscense.

Thanks again for replying, but I dont think you understand. I have boot camp assistant and all drivers installed. I will explain a little further why i can not do xy&z. This is my installations process.
1. I go to campus and plug in my computer to the schools ethernet.
2. Login to the university's server and download the university's custom bootcamp installer.
3.My university's custom installer creates a partition on my mac and images that partition over the network with windows 7.
4. The whole time ive never seen a dvd, iso, or microsoft, apple anything. Its all done automatically and i have no option of downloading the image myself and doing it manually.
5. I create a account and password in windows and im stuck with windows on a partition on my mac.
So as you see above i dont have a dvd to pop in my computer or the ability to create one in order to delete the hdd and install windows only.
I need a way of deleting osx after windows is already installed. Becouse osx is to the left of windows in windows disc management this is(for all i can figure) impossible with just a repair disc, disc utility, and windows disc management. Im looking for a possible third part tool that can accompilsh this.
I even tried making a image in windows and re imaging with a repair disc, Low and behold, windows recreated the evil partition with a 190 unalocated gigabites of space to the left of windows. i wanted to pull my eyes out.

HT4818 I want to have an exFAT parition in addition to the Mac OS X and Windows partition. If I create it before running BootCamp, it wants me to delete it. If I create it in either Windows or Mac OS X afterwards, I can no longer dual boot.

I want to have an exFAT parition in addition to the Mac OS X and Windows partition. If I create it before running BootCamp, BootCamp wants me to delete it before continuing. If I create it in either Windows or Mac OS X after running BootCamp and installing both OSes, I can no longer dual boot. What is the magic sequence to get this to work?

I've got the same quandary.
After upgrading my hard drive to a Momentus XT Hybrid and doing a clean install of Mountain Lion, I was surprised that I couldn't format partitions separately and then restore from my clone of the old Windows 7 Partition. I found that I had to use the BootCamp Assistant to manage it all, which essentially meant getting rid of the partitions and starting again...
I now can't get my Windows / BootCamp partition to boot, after adding a 3rd, ExFat, partition, when it was working perfectly fine before. I just get a lot of dos booting failures and a final message that "No boot device is available, press Enter to continue".
See the attached message, that I get when trying to boot the bootcamp partition, through Parallels 7; which also worked perfectly fine before.
Be good to know if there is a work around this in Mountain Lion as, if not, I'm thinking I might skip Bootcamp altogether and just install a machine drive via Parallels. As suggested here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1420754
I might even keep the virtual windows machine on a separate hard drive and then I'll have no need for the ExFat partitions altogether as that was designated for sharing between Windows and Mac.
