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,

    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.

  • [G40-45] OneKey Recovery 8.1, Partition Problem

    Well, So.. the problem is i already resized the C Partition, now i cant do a OneKey Recovery
    I want to resize it back, but i forgot the initial size..
    Maybe someone can help me?
    ~Thanks
    P.S : Lenovo IdeaPad G40-45

    For a total hard drive restoration, using Acronis would be your best option.  As you suspected One Key Recovery will only image the system partition which isn't much help if the hard drive has to be replaced.

  • Glitchy cursor and tool selection problems

    Hello all,
    I recently updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro AND OS X Yosemite. Today I opened Premiere for the first time since the update and started editing.
    Upon editing I began to realize that every time I try to make an edit buy using the razor tool, or any tool for that matter the mouse glitches.
    For example: When I try and grad the end of a clip and drag, the cursor bounces between the red arrow and my mouse cursor. Does that make sense?
    Also, when I have ANY tool selected it shows my mouse cursor in stead of the icon for the tool. And when I have the selection tool selected to drag a clip it is selecting the rolling edit tool, or the ripple edit tool making it almost impossible to make the edits that I need.
    So, my question is, Is this a Premiere Pro bug or a Mac bug? And can I go about fixing this somehow?
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    I did just find out that the new hard drive that was put into my computer (i needed more space) is a hybrid. Is this going to be a big factor to these problems? Both me and the other co-worker have hybrid hard drives.

  • Lenovo G550 one key recovery and wi-fi problem

    Hello all,
    I have recently upgraded Vista to Win 7 on my G550 and I have a problem with the wlan connection. I get connected, but there's no internet access, only "limited connectivity". The driver's installed correctly, I've checked each and every setting and cannot find the source of this problem.
    My OneKeyRecovery is not working anymore, I looked at the drivers site and saw there is no Recovery driver for Win 7. How can this be?

  • 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.

  • Can I have Recovery and HP Tools in the same partition?

    My HP originally came with 4 partitions. However, I needed one parition to install Ubuntu. Therefore I deleted the HP Tools partition since I backed up the HP Tools files and knew I could get another copy from HP. However, I would like to know if it is possible to add HP Tools to the Recovery partition? If so, how?

  • HP Pavilion DV8el Entertainment recovery and partitioning drive C

    Someone must have done this before, but I just cannot find anything...
    I had to replace drive C for bad sectors, and now the Recovery Disks I had made three years ago crash with blue screen on partitioning the drive.
    Nothing can be installed via that **bleep** disks (which are new because I have never used them before!)
    I have a clean Ghost image of the whole C drive (before it got corrupted), partition by partition, so I really want to use that to recover my software and configurations. But I do not know how to do that without going throught the ununseable Recovery discs.
    The problem seems to be that Ghost looks for the four original partitions and since it cannot find them it does not know where to install the C data... Can I manually partition C? I have a Linux Mint 13 system on a bootable USB drive, so I can mount and format C, I just need to know HOW (FAT32, NTFS, HIDDEN...) and what size/flags to give partitions...
    I hope someone can help! Thanks a million, Gabriele

    I understand you need to restore your system software after replacing the HDD.
    You mentioned you have a Ghost image.  Are you referring to Norton Ghost?  If so, what version of Ghost was used to make the image?
    If you do have Ghost, then this thread may be useful for you.

    I suspect the process is similar for other versions of Ghost.  Once I know the exact version of Ghost, I may be able to find something more specific for your version of Ghost.

  • Partition problem with Win 7 and Lion

    I have a 2011 Mac Mini with two hard drives - the original 500GB drive and a SSD.   The SSD is laid out as follows:
    $ diskutil list
    /dev/disk0
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *60.0 GB    disk0
       1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s1
       2:                  Apple_HFS OSX Lion SSD            19.0 GB    disk0s2
       3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3
       4:       Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP W7             40.2 GB    disk0s4
    It has my two bootable operating systems and works fine (for now) so I am happy to leave it alone.
    The problem is with the second drive.  It has:
    1) EFI partition 200M
    2) Original Lion install 40G HFS+
    3) Original recovery partition 650M
    4) Space set aside for OSX HFS+ 160G (has some big files in it)
    5) Space set aside for Windows NTFS 300G (no files in it yet)
    I think there is a problem with MBR vs GPT and Disk Utility vs Disk Management.
    Disk Utility or fdisk calls it
    /dev/disk1
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *500.1 GB   disk1

       2:       Microsoft Basic Data                         37.6 GB    disk1s2 (these entries are wrong)
       3:       Microsoft Basic Data                         650.0 MB   disk1s3
       4:       Microsoft Basic Data                         161.5 GB   disk1s4
       5:       Microsoft Basic Data NTFS stuff              300.1 GB   disk1s5 (this entry seems right)
    and I cannot access the partitions in Lion.
    Gdisk calls it:
    GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.1
    Partition table scan:
      MBR: hybrid
      BSD: not present
      APM: not present
      GPT: present

    Windows Disk Management is happy to see inside the HFS partitions, so I know all my files are at least still there.  I had a 5th NTFS partition formatted, but upon going into Lion and back, it disappeared.
    I think ideally what I would like to have is a spare Lion + recovery partition on this drive in case my SSD barfs, then a big NTFS partition to hold my Windows files.  I guess merging the 40G OSX and 160G HFS+ partitions will be ok.  Could the problem be related to MBR having a limit of 4 partitions?  There isn't any data on this drive that isn't backed up, but I would rather do this partition fixing shuffle without having to restore big files.  Any suggestions on how to proceed?

    I managed to fix the problem.  First I used Disk Utility to delete the NTFS partition.  It hung during the process, so I quit it, and the partition was deleted anyway.  Next, I used gdisk to change the partition type from 0700 to AF00 and AB00 for the Lion and Recovery partitions respectively.  It worked and I can access the partitions under OSX again.  Thanks, everybody, you've been super helpful.

  • Problems with Boot Camp and Drive Partition

    First of all, let me preface this by saying I have in the past successfully partitioned my drive and installed Windows, but it was a while back and I can remember it was frustrating, but I don't remember the exact details. Also, I apologize for the rambling nature of this problem, but I'm trying to give as much relevant information as possible and walk through the steps I took to get where I am now.
    Feel free to skip ahead to the end, the main problem seems to be I tried to create a 300 GB partition, but it didn't take or something. Now my storage is reflecting I've lost 300 GB, but it won't recognize the existence of the new partition.
    Let me just walk through what I did. I deleted my previous partition because I was having some difficulties with a few programs and the partition ended up being too small and I wanted to make a bigger one anyway. I only use it for gaming and didn't care about any of the saved games so I just deleted the partition and figured I'd start over from scratch.
    Before I begin, some technical details about the computer I'm working with. I don't know how much of this is necessary, but here it is:
    It's a 27-inch late 2012 iMac with a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor with 24GB RAM running OSX 10.9.4
    The storage space is a little more difficult as that is part of the problem I'm running into, which I'll get to in a minute.
    Anyway, I have a Windows 7 Professional install DVD and a burned CD called Boot Camp, which I think is the drivers from last time I installed Windows (a year and half ago?), but since I needed Superdrive for the install DVD I just used an XHD I had to put the drivers on (like I said, I don't remember how I did it last time). I go through Boot Camp and look at how much space I have and how big I want to make my partition.
    Side note: Last time I made my partition, I'm fairly certain I set it to 200 GB, but the partition size actually came out to something like 112 GB or something significantly less. I didn't know what happened, but figured it would still be enough space and it had been such a hassle I didn't bother doing it again.
    Supposedly I have a 1 TB HD, and I can't remember exactly what it said when I partitioned the drive this time, but it definitely said I was using less than half of my capacity and I had plenty of room, so I opted to go for a 301 GB partition (the slider wouldn't let me do exactly 300) which still left me with around 300 GB of space left over on my Mac partition I want to say. I went ahead with it and it started partitioning the drive with the blue line moving very slowly and after an hour or so it was like 80% across but no longer making progress. I looked online and people said that shouldn't happen. I cancelled the partition and the Disk Utility showed the partition, but said it was unmounted or something.
    I restarted my computer thinking maybe I'd try and see what would happen if I tried to boot it up as if I had Windows installed. I also at that moment remembered that I'd had a similar problem last time because I had my XHD plugged into my USB port so I unplugged that and held down OPT. It then showed me my Mac HD drive and a CD icon that said Windows, so I clicked on that figuring maybe I could install it after all.
    It led me through a Install manager and it got to the point where it asked what drive/partition do you want to install Windows in, I recognized the screen and remembered I was supposed to choose a certain one, but couldn't remember which one and none of the sizes seemed to match the storage I had allocated to the partition. One was about 200 GB and since the last time I did it my partition came out 100 GB smaller than I had set it for I thought maybe that was it.
    However, it said I couldn't install on that drive for some reason (I can't remember exactly what it said). So I restarted again and figured I'd go back and see what I did wrong and start over. When I check Disk Utility it no longer sees any partition (mounted or unmounted or anything) and that the entirety of my HD is dedicated to Mac HD.
    The problem is, now I'm getting weird reports about the size of my drive, the amount used, and the space available. Disk Utility tells me I have 1.12 TB capacity, 301 GB available, and 819 GB used. That doesn't even add up. Furthermore, when I click get info on Macintosh HD, it tells me I have 810 GB capacity, 364 GB available, and 446 GB used. When I click on About this Mac and go to System Report and storage I get this:
    Macintosh HD
    Available: 364 GB
    Capacity: 810 GB
    Logical Volume Group:
         Name: Macintosh HD
         Size: 1.12 TB
         Freespace: 301 GB
    Physical Volumes:
         disk0s2:
         size: 121 GB
         disk1s2:
         size: 999 GB
    Now I really don't know what to make of it. That 301 GB free space makes sense as the partition I tried to create and if I add that to the 446 GB used on my Mac partition, plus the 364 GB available, that adds up to 1.12 TB (roughly, I've rounded off these numbers).
    But how come Disk Utility doesn't recognize the partition then? What should I do from here?
    I couldn't find anyone asking this exact type of question or running into this same problem before, so I hope I'm not asking about something that's already been answered. If that's the case, if you could direct me to where I can find the answer I'd be appreciative.
    Otherwise, any help or light that can be shed would be most appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The problem seems to have gone away. I did click on repair disk in Disk Utility, I'm not sure if that did anything, but now when I run Boot Camp Assistant it is showing me the correct free space, so I don't know what happened. Oh well.
    Still having trouble getting the **** thing to partition, but that topic is covered extensively elsewhere.

  • Rescue and Recovery has encountered a problem and needs to close

    I'm running R&R 3.10.0022 on a ThinkPad T42p 2373-HTU and encountered the Rescue and Recovery has encountered a problem and needs to close error.  When I tried to install the advertised patch with rnr31cp5.exe, I get an InstallShield Wizard dialog box that says "Could not find any previously installed compliant products on the machine for installing this product" and the install fails.

  • 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.

  • Boot partitions with recovery and windows? new SSD drive

    Gang,
    I have a new Retina 15 and bought a larger SSD from OWC. I also upgraded  an older MB Air (from 128 to 240GB) and so I had an OWC Envoy with the original 128G from the MB Air in it. Killer by the way with USB3 support. So I plugged the Envoy into the Retina formatted the Envoy and then used that as a back up for the Retina using Time Machine.
    I swapped out the old drive in the Retina and then put in the new OWC drive and of course the boot recovery partition was not there and so I plugged in the Envoy which had it and formatted the drive then installed from backup and everything worked fine.
    BUT.... I no longer have a recovery or windows partition both of which I would like to have for this machine.
    So how do I do that? Reinstall MT LION?
    Thanks
    Gordon

    Gang,
    Ok here is how you do it!
    First create a MT Lion Recovery disk using Lion Disk Maker:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/39701/lion-diskmaker
    Then do a time machine backup to some kind of local drive or as I did my TimeCapsule.
    Boot holding down the option key with the Recovery Disk inserted (I made 16 SD card, but a 8G usb stick or the larger DVD writtable drive would work as well) and select to boot to the Recovery Disk. When booted, reformat the root boot drive with GUID partition and then do a full install to your standard boot drive. This will create the recovery partition and load the OS. This is the only way to get the recovery partition created.
    When done then select the Drive option when asked for were to upgrade your machine from. Then select the time machine backup which will load all your stuff.
    Your done!
    Thanks
    Gordon
