Hi
Welcome to the forum!!
This message comes even if you install/reinstall the os by any means.
If you by chance still have the recovery partition, this may help you

You can check it in disk management. The partition is named
Lenovo_part or something similar and is around 15 gb big

Blue screen of death after fresh install of Win7 onto bootcamp!

So I am currently running:
I had this problem when I installed windows on bootcamp before but was told there was a driver error or it was a bad install on the windows. So I did a fresh install deleted the partition. I re-installed Windows 7 again with a different disk just to be safe. I am getting the exact same problem after I install all the drivers from the Bootcamp driver download. I feel like the problem could be related with the drivers being downloaded from the bootcamp software thats pre-installed on the mac. Any thoughts, any help?!
Thanks,
Ryan

, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums. The first thing you will want to check is if there are any issues with the hard drive you put in. Run the BIOS diagnostics for the hard drive and the hard ware to make sure there are no issues. HP Notebook PCs - System Diagnostics (F2) And.

X120e - Recovery DVD after Fresh Install

Hi all,
I ended up wiping the factory install of my x120e without making recovery disks first. Anyone know how to access the recovery partition to create a new system recovery disk? I tried double clicking the partition and there isn't anything in there; nor did it prompt me to make a recovery DVD.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So...being the genius that I am, I wiped my existing installation to install a new one. (Some Windows updates have gone wonky.) And I'm unable to install a new installation of Windows due to the EFI BIOS and it's complaining that it wants a GPT driver.
Thankfully, I did install Rescue & Recovery prior to doing this and I was able to find the cdbackup.wim under "Rescue Files" but I have no idea how to point a new installation at that file or how to retreive and dump it to another computer for PXE booting. I tried to pull the file out of "Rescue Files" but it won't copy.
Thanks for your help.

How to install a recovery partition after installing a new Hard drive? and FileVault help.

Hi,
I recently swapped out hard drives and when I did a Time Machine backup to the new drive, I noticed there was no Recovery HD partition for my drive. Is there a way to install it back on my MacBook Pro (Late 2011, running 10.7.4)?
On a slighlty different topic FileVault won't let me encrypt my new HD it says "Some disk formats don’t support the recovery partition required by encryption. To use encryption, reinstall this version of Mac OS X on a reformatted disk."
What formatting does my disk require for FV to be turned on? Currently it is Mac OS Extended (journaled)
If there is a solution to solve both these issues, or any one issue it would be appreciated.

The formatting being referred to is actually the presence of the Recovery Disk.
You can't enable FV2 without a recovery partition being present. The reason is strictly logical: if your entire disk was encrypted, how could you run the unencryption procedure you need to start up? That would itself be hidden behind the encryption. Hence, for FV2 to be able to work, you must have a Recovery disk present.
When you boot up with FV2 enabled, the login screen you see to enter your password is actually running from the recovery disk (invisible to the user). After you enter your password, recovery boots your encrypted partition and logs you in to your account.

Install from Recovery partition after upgrade from 10.9

Hi all, on my MacBook 13" nov. 2012 I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite using the standard upgrade.
After a couple of days I decided to perform a clean install:
- formatted "Macintosh HD Partition"
- rebooted with cmd+R
- reinstalled from recovery partition.
Is this really a clean install or my recovery partition contains pieces of the old Mavericks?
Thanks in advance for answering
Paolo

First I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite (with no erase). Then I booted from recovery partition, erased Macintosh HD partition and installed Yosemite.
My question is: did I perform a really clean install or to be sure I had to erase the entire disk and recover from the Internet?
Paolo
You performed a clean install of OS X Yosemite.
You were in the Yosemite Recovery HD.
You erased the Macintosh HD which erases the previous OS install, user accounts and data files -- everything! Then you reinstalled JUST OS X Yosemite.

HT4718 How do I install the seperate system recovery partition after installing OSX on an external drive?

My Mac Mini (2011 - Mountain Lion) died on me and I'm trying to get Internet Recovery (or ANY recovery) to work. I have done the hold down D on boot hardware test and the extensive test and it says all is well. However Internet Recovery downloads (or appears to) and then I just get a never-ending spinning wheel and Apple logo.
I just installed Lion 10.7 from my older Mini that can't run Mountain Lion onto the newer Mini's hard drive as an external disk. How can I get the recovery partition added to that disk too?

Google recovery disk assistant. Hopefully that'll be what you need.

All previously installed applications remain after "fresh" install of OS X 10.8.4

Hey guys,
So this may or may not be a problem. The issue is that I was having some system screen flickering/freezing on my Macbook Pro (Early 2011) so I decided to reinstall 10.8.4 Mountain Lion to see if this would solve the issue. Went through the procedure of creating a reinstall flash drive and proceeded. Chose the drive containing my old OS (10.8.4) and installed. Process took about 1:30 hours to download and install necessary files. When the OS install is complete and the machine boots back up nothing has changed. All previously installed applications remained and the machine home folder is still named for the previous owner? (bought on ebay) Does Apple auto reset all previous settings through my AppleID? Or did this OS re-install not complete correctly? I need to FULLY wipe this machine and after going through the process I am not even sure if anything took place. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I am reading an article suggesting that I can use boot utility to format all drives if I boot into the recovery partition. From there I can reinstall using the internet recovery. Is this a wise move to avoid buying Snow Leopard?
The Early 2011 Mac originally came with 10.6
10.7 and 10.8 are paid upgrades tied to the previous owners AppleID, therefore you can't apply security updates to that previous owners copy as you don't have their AppleID and password.
The object to go back to Snow Leopard 10.6 is so that when you upgrade to 10.8, it's yours and you can upgrade all your paid software and operating system through the AppStore concept.
Later, if you need to erase and install 10.8 fresh, then yes, you use Internet Recovery or RecoveryHD as then your AppleID and password will work as intended and there is no need to use the 10.6 disks any longer, they can be sold if you wish as you don't have 10.6 on the machine anymore.

To Apple engineers: Home sharing and wifi sync not working after fresh install

Have been using wifi sync and home sharing on my Macbook 5,1 since its early debut.
Since Macbook 5,1 is old i am using it to stream MP4 files to my Apple TV.
The functionality has been working fine throughout the OSX iterations; then came Mavericks.
Now my iTunes library will not sync with Apple TV3, nor will my iPhone 5/iPad 3 wirelessly sync with my iTunes library.
For some reason since upgrading to Mavericks the thing wont work under normal boot.
Restarting in Safe mode solves the problem. Assuming it was some erroneous configuration i went through troubleshooting steps to try and resolve it.
First i uninstalled any third party apps.
Then i repaired, went through Maintenance and Cleaning of the system using Onyx
Then i tried manually removing third party boot kexts from the System Library and user Library
Then i tried reinstalling OSX via the recovery partition (cmd+r on boot time)
Finally i tried a full system erase and reinstall via an external bootable Mavericks USB.
After all these steps the problem persists.
There should be no hardware failure since it works fine in Safe mode and doing a clean install verifies that there are no third party conflicts with the system since iTunes was executed immediately after booting up for the first time.
This raises the concern that there seems to be some sort of system kext misconfiguration by the Apple engineers.
When executing iTunes the following errors are being displayed in the system log (via Console):

flytnn,
after a fresh install, Spotlight will need to reïndex the files on your internal disk — that happens each time a fresh installation takes place.
I see that you have OS X 10.9.2 installed. Are you planning on installing the 10.9.3 update?
Your installed version of Java is outdated — the most recent version can be downloaded from here.

Please help with a few drivers for z60m after fresh install

I got a bad virus(several actually) that I could not eradicate. I was advised to just wipe and reinstall the OS since it is not under warranty anymore. I could not find the recovery disk, must have been lost inthe last military move could not find a replacement recovery disk at the IBM website so I went out and bought an xpprof OS thinking it should not be that hard to find any drivers XP does not provide . I had no problems doing that on our acer laptop and a friends HP laptop before so was pretty confident.. Boy was I wrong this has been the reinstall from hell. I reinstalled the audiodrivers from theIBM website but the speakers still don't work. The laptop will not recognize the wireless, even after installing the drivers for that and I can't find anything out about why the dock does not work, I assume there are drivers for that too. I also have 4 ugly yellow question marks that I can't seem to get rid of in device manager. At this point I am already out the price of XP Prof but I really need this laptop my husband took the acer laptop when he deployed to Afghanistan, only because I was confident I could get this one fully functional. I see now my self confidence was badly misplaced ,even though I am working on a degree in computer technology this laptop is kicking my tush.
Is there anyone that could help please
1. help me find why my speakers still dont work even though they are recognized as soundmax in device manager
I found several references to this issue in the forums but there does not seem to be a resolution
2. help me figure out why my laptop suddenly (after the fresh install)does not know it even has a wireless capability even after numerous attempts at installing the driver(driver seems to install just finebut upon reboot there is still no wireless available
3. figure out how I can get my dock to work again
the laptop has always worked great til now and all these things were functional before the virus and reinstall of the OS)
4. get rid of ugly yellow exclamation points under Other Devices, I am sure they must be important( I am sure at least one or more of them has to do with the wireless)
sorry this is so long Im just frustrated thanks so much for anyone that can give some guidance on this

hanaleia, welcome to the forum,
download and install ThinkVantage System Update, it should get the drivers for you. Please ensure you read down the site as you may need to install a patch for XP SP2.
Let us know how you get on.
