How to unpartition D and its recovery partition and add to C using Windows 8.1 tools

I have a new Fujitsu Lifebook, Windows 8.1 with a 600gb disk and when I go into Disk management I see the following partitions in this order.
Healthy (Recovery Partition) 768 mb 100% free
Healthy (OEM Partition) 768 mb 100% free
Healthy (EFI Partition) 260 mb 100% fre
C: Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash dump, primary Partition) 340 GB 88% free
Healthy (Recovery Partition) 350 mb 100% free
D: Healthy (Primary Partition) 340 GB 100% free
Disk Management does not let me free up the second recovery partition (between C: and D:) so I am not able expand C: after I free up D: because they are not contiguous. How, using Windows 8.1 tools can I safely expand C: so that it'll be 680 GB (taking
the space from D:)?

Why does Mac force boot to the recovery partition even when an external recovery option is selected? This disables the option of reformatting the internal drive because it is in use running the recovery partition.I have yet to find a viable solution.

To make a very tedious story short, My Mac decided that it would crash and not reboot the OS. I decided to bite the bullet and just reformat, sacrificing my very important data. I have tried just about every trick in the book. There is one one major problem I am facing. When I try to reformat the internal HDD using Disk Utility. It fails to unmount. "Make sure that all applications and files are closed on this disk.", Suggesting that the computer is ignoring my command at startup to boot from my external recovery drive, and using the Recovery partition on the problem drive, making it impossible to reformat the drive. When the internal drive is removed and connected by another method it is not recognized.
I failed to read the fine print on the box that suggested I purchase another Mac to fix problems with my primary Mac because any utility with the potential to fix the problem can only be run on a functioning Mac.

Booting to any version of the Recovery system, the built in partition on the internal drive, a recovery partition on an external drive or from the Online internet system will not stop you from formatting the Macintosh HD partition on the internal drive. So your problem is not that you are booting from the internal Recovery HD partition. It is probably your internal hard drive has problems, failing.
You could try booting the system from the Online system. At startup hold down the Option/Alt + Command + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen. That will boot the system from across the internet from the Apple servers completely removing the internal drive as a boot source. If you still can't erase and format or repartition and format the internal drive then your drive has problems and will need to be replaced.

Need help restoring dell factory image from hidden recovery partition

Hello All.
My Dell XPS M1530 Model PP28L Service Tag <ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy> Windows Vista Home 32 bit crashed the other day. Windows Vista would not load either in normal or safe mode. It kept going into a endless loop. Tried F8 and repair no go. Then hooked this drive as a slave on another system and ran chkdsk.exe which deleted several attribute records. The drive now boots into Vista normal and safemode fine.
I would now like to troubleshoot how to run the factory restore using Dell restore feature.
I've tried Ctrl-F11 but no menu comes at POST. I've also tried the F8 during the POST and after selecting Repair My Computer the laptop continues right into Windows Vista and no System Recovery Option displays. Can I run the Dell factory restore from the hidden recovery image partition ? If YES then what software do I need in order to this ? Thanks
As a slave hooked to a Windows 7 computer I cannot see the hidden recovery partition in Disk Management. Same when the drive is booted into Vista safemode.
How can I restore Vista to Dell factory settings from the hidden recovery partition ? Please see the picture of the disk management snapshot which I have taken when booted into Vista.
Thanks
Victor

Windows Vista is obsolete (no Office 2013, IE10/11 or drivers for new hardware support and no Digital Distribution).
I'd advise installing a SSD in the system and installing Windows 10 Insider 10074 which is a relatively stable build. Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users are eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10 RTM. Windows Vista users aren't eligible for the free upgrade but theres likely going to be a free upgrade from Windows 10 Insider to Windows 10 RTM or at least a significant discount.
Use 64 Bit and note this is a MBR Legacy BIOS (non-UEFI):
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-microsoft-windows-and-office/download-microsoft-windows/download-windows-10-technical-preview-iso/
The drivers should all be installed automatically, if not use these:

Cannot resize system partition due to recovery partition

Hello.
I have a 500GB HD (momentus XT) that replaced my default 320GB HD.
i cannot resize the system partition due to the recovery partition. System keeps on telling me that "map is too small".
Tried diskutil under osx, under lion bootable recovery usb stick, under diskutil through console.
Here is what diskutil tells me.

Resizing
Error: -5341: MediaKit reports partition (map) too small
I want to resize the partition to use the remaining new space i have, of course, and create a bootcamp part.
I am wondering if i can kill the recovery partition without destroying my lion. As i have the recovery transfered successfully to usb stick using the apple utility, i am able to use it anytime.
But... just wondering if that would crash my OS or not.
Or, if anyone sees a way to move the recovery partition to end of the HD so that i can enlarge successfully...

Thanks to you both, luckily there's only 600GB on that drive at the moment.
I was wondering, though, why won't it let me make it bigger?
I already had a 1TB partition in the space below it. The screenshot shows me having already deleted it - but still no option to resize the other (larger) 2TB one.
If there is a reason why I can't resize now, then I can take that advice and try and make sure it doesn't happen when I reformat it again.
I would understand if the partition were MBR, but it's not, it's a GUID Partition Table (bottom right), so I'm confused - what is it's problem? ;-)

Lost hard drive space & recovery partition using Recovery DVDs

My computer crashed, so preformed and system recovery with the System Recovery DVD that I purchased from HP when I bought my HP Pavilion dv9834cl Notebook PC.
When the process was finished, I only got 32 gig of Hard Drive, It's a 320 gig HD! I lost 100 gig of hd space and the recovery partition.
I’m stuck. How can I format my hard drive and create a new Recovery Partition?
HELP!

Boot into OSX and re-run boot camp assistant. Select the option to remove/delete Windows partition (if you see it).
If not, open disk utlity and try to erase and combine the Windows partition back into your Mac one.

Tx1312AU Windows Vista Recovery partition lost

tx1312AU Windows Vista Recovery partition lost after HD crash, how to get it back or should I try Win XP? (I hate Vista already...)

sijyb00 wrote:
See, the the thing is, I DID make the recovery cd... but it isn't working. From my understanding, the cd uses the information from the recovery partition to restore Windows? Correct me if I'm wrong. Every time I boot up the cd it detects no OS and when I click continue, it begins the installation and immediately says Installation cancelled, missing files, something like C:\win.int is missing.
So the recovery cd is not working. I called Toshiba and from what I could understand from the horrible english, was that they would charge me for another recovery cd... which I don't need, because I have one. Or send in my laptop for "repair." They said it was my hard drive. Which is complete bull**bleep**, when windows failed I ran a linux os on it perfectly fine, so it is not my hard drive.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? I have a product key for vista which I PAID for when I bought the laptop... I don't think it's fair to have to buy it over again for $100-200
No, the recovery disks don't rely on anything on the hard drive. From what you say, either you are not booting from the optical drive, or the disks indeed are faulty.
The last I knew, replacement disks were $25. See the sticky at the top of the General Discussion topic for details.
There have been a lot of reports of problems with recovery disks, so I'm a bit surprised that Toshiba won't ship you replacements at no charge. Might be worth another try, and an attempt to get to the next tech level.

Mavericks won't install after accidentally deleting recovery partition on 10.6.8

I have been searching for hours for a solution and found none.
Essentially, I was running 10.8 on my MBA which originally came with 10.6. Wishing to perform a clean install of Mavericks, I accidentally deleted the recovery partition. Installing Mavericks would then always crash midway; so eventually I reinstalled my original OS from the bootable disc from apple. Then I figure I had to create a bootable disc for Mavericks, which I did, and the result is the same, the installation crashes midway.
Any other way I could install 10.9?
Thanks

Mavericks creates a recovery partition while installing.
So, no previous recovery partition needed.
But playing whith partitions could be a mess.
Try a clean reinstall.

Can I just Back it up using another Burning tools (with multisession DVD) and use it to recovery my laptop ? If I don't, how can I get into Recovery Partition and Recovery my laptop without any of disc? I was pressed "0" repeatedly but nothing happen, I'm stuck.Can anyone help me solve this problem?

If that doesn't work, you can order recovery discs from Toshiba.

REcrate factory recovery partition

I have a HP 17-e067nr My hard drive crashed, but I did manage to copy the files off the recovery partition first. So what I want to do now is recreate the recovery patition on the new hard drive with the old files. Any help would be great.
Thanks Michael

I have seen many try to recreate the partition-but never with success. If you did not create your Recovery Media before the hdd crashed you can order from your drivers/software list on the support page. Scroll down the list to see ordering option here:

Copy Mavericks Recovery Partition

Just bought a new macbook pro and am trying to create a copy of the Recovery Partition on a CD using commands found on several internet searches:
defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled 1
Problem is that it doesn't work - meaning it doesn't enable a new "Debug" Menu option in DiskUtility. I found a couple other forum posts that indicated you could complete this same function by going through Finder (/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DiskUtility).
When I open /Library/Preferences/ there is no file named "com.apple.DiskUtility"
I suspect this is why the defaults command isn't working...
Any thoughts as to what is going on?

That is Property List Editor, available as part of the X-Code developer package. I like it much better than using a text editor on config files. I am always afraid I will do something to mess up a config file, but not with Property List Editor.app
What is being viewed is the inside of that plist file. Everything is organized and database-like. If there are several valid values for a field, they are enumerated for you and you choose between them, not just put in something and hope it don't crash.
The X-Code tools is a large but free download on the Mac App Store.
If you don't want to leave the whole about 10GB Developer package installed, it can be taken out of the developer package, but relies on about six other Library frameworks that you need to drag-and-drop into place to support it:
DevToolsCore.farmework
DevToolsCParsing.framework
DevToolsFoundation.framework
DevToolsSupport.framework
JavaKit.framework
PlistEdit.framework

How to recover a Corrupt recovery partition

The hard disk on my T500 crashed and the recovery partition is corrupted as well. I bought this machine in the US but now I have moved to Europe. Can someone suggest a solution to get my Windows Vista Ultimate back on this machine. I do not have any installation media and am not able to find who sells it. Of course, my OS is a genuine.
Please help me.

what is the model number of your T500? You would need a recovery media for this.

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.
