Recovery partition gone

I just upgraded Yosemite from Yosemite beta.
I could find Recovery partition when I used mavericks OS and press option key when It's booting, but since using Yosemite beta, this partition doesn't appear.
Only the main flash drive and windows(bootcamp) icon.
May I ask how can I fix or make recovery partition ?
I'm using macbook pro 15 inch late 2013.

I don't use FileVault.. y.y
System version shows mac os 10.10 (14A389) and I just downloaded from app store.
if partition is still here, how can I access when It's booting?
System preference -> startup disk also shows only two partition (Main flash drive and Windows (Boot camp))

    Does anyone have a download link for this; it's criminal HP does not offer it to customers free. I already paid for it once when I bought the laptop.
    thanks

    I see from your screenshot that you have added a partition- and in the process the hard drive was converted from Basic to Dynamic. This always breaks Recovery function..
    You will have to delete the extra partition AND convert the hdd back to Basic. Use "Option 1" here:

  • Recovery HD gone after creating new partition (to install Snow)

    Hey all,
    So I needed to reinstall Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro, so in Disk Utility I shrunk the main partition by about 20gb and then installed Snow Leopard on that partition, so now I can dual-boot Lion and Snow Leopard.
    But now the Recovery HD partition is gone. Is this normal and any way to get it back?

    Well like I said, I already have file redundancy with my two computers and if the whole thing dies, I'll just do it all over again... I'm not too worried about that. But yeah, probably a good idea to keep a copy of the installer. I did download it overnight but by then my problem was already resolved, haha. *puts it in safe keeping*
    I really only cared for Recovery HD for two things: Find my Mac (it's needed to boot into Guest only mode) and to do file system repairs in Disk Utility if necessary.
    When I get a bigger capacity hard drive one day, maybe I'll clone the whole setup but for now I really only wanted that partition back for the two things I mentioned above.
    But again, I still insist that the method in the link is a much faster way, step 1 being almost unnecessary.
    The 10.7.2 update even includes this exact process in the background to replace the old Recovery partition with its newer version.

  • Weird problems with recovery partition

    Hi. I just got a new X1 Carbon a few days ago. When trying to install Ubuntu, I messed up the bootmgr. At that point I still had the option F11 for recovery on startup, but choosing it did not give any results and after a restart, the option was gone. When researching the problem, I found this thread:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technolog​ies/Need-help-with-recovery-partition-create-recov​...
    Since my recovery partition Q was untouched, the steps described in the thread allowed me to restore partitions S and C. So far so good, but now the problems start.
    First, the letters of the partitions get messed up after every reboot. I assign Windows7_OS the letter C, SYSTEM_DRV gets S, and Lenovo_Recovery gets Q. Diskpart then lists the drives with correct letters. But after a reboot, they're back to D,C,E, respectively.
    Then, when I boot the Windows recovery disk from a usb stick, it correctly recognizes that Windows is installed on drive D. It suggests that there are startup problems, which I tell it to fix. After the next reboot, it does not warn me about startup problems. When I then go to command prompt and enter
    bootrec.exe /fixmbr
    bootrec.exe /fixboot
    then the Windows recovery disk commits suicide. It seems to attempt to fix its own bootmgr. At the moment, both usb stick and hard disk run with grub (Windows recovery on a multiboot installed by YUMI). After I run the commands above, the hard disk still runs with grub, but the usb stick now has bootmgr and fails to boot. I have tried this several times, each time recreating the Windows recovery disk with YUMI, and every time the same result.
    F11 option is of course still gone. At this point I'm out of my wits. Any suggestions are welcome.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    In the end I formatted and made a clean install. F11 Option is gone. Recovery partition is still untouched, but I don't think it will be used again. Followed this advice to install a fresh Windows 7 using a usb stick:
    http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-​reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html#post1839164
    Since I did not have access to Windows with administrator rights, I had to use Ubuntu to create the bootable Windows stick:
    http://cloud101.eu/blog/2012/03/24/create-a-window​s-7-live-disk-from-ubuntu-linux/
    The WiFi driver was not included in Windows, so I had to download that in another system, and install manually. From there I could then go online in Windows to download the remaining drivers from Lenovo (after the clean install there's a long list of unrecognized devices).
    Since the laptop comes with 4 primary partitions preinstalled I had to merge the SYSTEM_DRV and the Windows7_OS partition in order to create an additional partition for Ubuntu. Then I installed Ubuntu and took control of the startup behavior using EasyBCD.

  • How to reinstall vista in L 305 - S 5919 from recovery partition

    hi,
    when i take the recovery partition it shows a "system recovery option" dialogue box. but it is not showing any OS in it. so i clicked on "load drivers" which prompts me to select drivers from the installation media. there i can see my prmary hard disk with 140gb, a 35mb boot drive, 1.46gb toshiba recovery drive, none of which is helpful in selecting the driver. Can anyone help me in selecting the OS?
    One more thing is that, when i take disk management from "my computer" properties, there it is showing a drive with 7gb which i am not able to access from anywhere?why is it so?
    Expecting replies
    with regards,
    abt

    thank u jerry...
    but, my problem is still unsolved...
    i have gone through the link u provided(http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/js​p/bulletin.jsp?ref=EV&soid=2222431&ct=SB) and also through the userguide. My system is in the second category with 3 partitions...140GB, 1.46GB, 7.22 GB.
    And so i suppose all my recovery files and images will be in the 7.22GB partition.
    When i start my system i pressed on 0(zero) to go into that partition. But there is no option which provides a recovery. The options present were "select OS" and there windows vista basic is present. If i click on that then the system will boot normally, and no recovery happens. The other option being "check for memory errorrs". That also wont provide any recovery option..
    please help me in resolving this problem.

  • Recovery partition compromised after rootkit

    I've just gone through the cleanup process after the olmarik.TDL4 boot record rootkit on my HP G72 B60US notebook.  I downloaded several programs and went through the cleanup process step by step with someone in the Malwarebytes forum.  I noticed this morning that the BOOT folder on the Recovery Partition D showed a modifed date from the time of purchase of the laptop to last night at 10:27pm when I was running cleanup programs with Malwarebytes.  When I open this folder, the only file with a similar modified date is the BCD file.  My question is, would the cleanup tools have modified this file, or could it have been the rootkit?  I want to know if my recovery partition was compromised and if it is unsafe for me to recover the computer from it now.
    Thanks.

    Hello lilsassy,
    I understand that you are worried if the partition was affected by the virus.
    It’s not that often that a virus will affect the recovery partition but it does happen.
    More than likely it was the cleanup program that modified the files.
    You can always order the recovery media to grantee that there is no trace of the virus on the system.

  • File Vault 2 and Lion Recovery Partition

    Has anyone noticed that the Lion recovery partition disapears after enabling File Vault 2? I don't have one anymore. It's Gone!

    Check out the OS X Lion: About FileVault2 kb.
    Starting from the Recovery HD partition after FileVault 2 is enabled
    When FileVault 2 is enabled, Recovery HD does not appear in the Startup Manager (which is accessed by holding Option during startup).  However, you can select the Recovery HD by holding Command-R as Lion starts up.

  • Recovery partition missing after Time Machine restore of Lion

    I recently purchased a new hard drive for my macbook pro and restored my system to the new disc via a Time Machine backup of the old disc. Everything worked fine and my mac is running faster than ever thanks to the new drive
    I just recently realized, however, that by using this method of restoration, the Lion recovery partition that was created during my first install is gone. This is probably due to it being a hidden partition that disc utility on my install disc was unable to recreate.
    I verified that the partition is missing by downloading the new recovery tool that Apple released a few days ago. It failed to work because the partiton could not be found.
    My question is if anyone else has realized this issue and if there is a solution. Is it possible to recreate the partition without going through an archive-and-reinstall routine? In my opinion this is a bit of a blunder by Apple as it renders Time Machine usless.
    Thoughts? Suggestions?

    Read the instructions for using the Recovery HD installation tool. You must make a small partition on the new hard drive of about 1 GB or so on which to install the Recovery HD.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
    2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

  • Recovery Partition Missing and Bluetooth Issues After Update

    After upgrading to 10.9.3 my recovery partition is gone and my bluetooth will pair with a new device, connect, and then disconnect.  After that I am not able to reconnect the new bluetooth device.  I can see it, but can't connect to it.  I have tried multiple bluetooth devices, and they all do the same thing.  I am really baffled about the missing recovery partition.  Any ideas?

    I still don't know what happened to my test Aperture Library after the update to 3.4...Not only were my previews lost, but so were the original images!  Needless to say, I haven't bothered to update the main library on the Mac Pro because I don't want to deal with this level of uncertainty (even with backups in place).

  • Laptop won't boot from recovery disk, can't find recovery partition

    My sister asked to again "fix" her Toshiba laptop because it was full of viruses. The last time, I had to reformat it in order to completely remove all the junk toolbars, etc. I saw all the junk programs again and decided it would be quicker and easier to reformat it again (I backed it up first) but something went wrong. It will not reinstall the OS. It will not boot from the system repair disk. I have set up and reformatted multiple computers and I have never ever had this issue occur. Startup repair runs for a while, says it can't automatically fix the laptop, lists "No OS installed" among errors. I've tried going into the BIOS and making various changes. The recovery partition seems to be gone and the repair disk is of no use. Does anyone have any suggestions? Because I'm looking at buying a new hard drive. I think it got corrupted by a virus or me doing something wrong, even though I did everything I did the last time.

    Hi! In your situation, I recommend ordering the recovery media from Toshiba. I'm thinking that your OS has been corrupted by a Virus and you no longer have the hidden recovery partition. I have replied on the other message also. If you have further questions, I will try to answer them as best I can. You can get the Toshiba recovery media here. Scroll down to the bottom to find recovery media.

  • Rename Recovery partition under Win8

    I just got a HP Envy Touchsmart Quad laptop.  I found that Recovery Partition is assigned the drive letter D.
    I shrunk the C drive to have another partition and wanted to name it as D.   I wanted rename the Recovery Partition to have the letter E. The DiskManagement under Computer Management does not have an option to rename
     this Recovery partition.  I could not find the solution by googling but there was a clue.  Here is how.
    1. Window Key and R to bring up Run dialog.
    2. Type "DiskPart" in the command line window.
    3. "list volume" to find out the volume number for the Recovery partition.
    4. "select volume 2" (in my case it is volume 2). 
    5. "attribute volume set hidden" to hide the partition.
    6. Now the drive letter D is gone.
    7. Get out of DiskPart
    8. You can rename your extra partion to "D" now, using the Disk Management.
    If you want to see the Recovery partition (HP Recovery Manager needs to see it), do the process above to item 4.
    do "attribute volume clear hidden".   This will automatically assign drive letter (in my case it now has E).
    HP Recovery Manager finds the Recovery Partition correctly (even though the drive letter is different).
    Hope that this is helpful.

    This is not advised unless you have created the REcovery media first. Other wise you will have to later order the disk from HP. This is why D:\ is the hidden partition for a reason removing it will be at your risk. So unless you created the REcovery media and verify it works this isn't something one should go messing around with. It is there for a reason and if they no longer make the disk for it and you didn't create the disk for it that will be a costly mistake to do.

  • Recovery Manager gone

    Hey, today I wanted to recover my notebook to factory settings, but i realized that neither the recovery manager is installed anymore nor the f11 routine after reboot works. The weird thing is that the recovery partition (D is still available, but as mentioned before not the recovery manager. I did not do anything (I know you have to read this all the time). The program is just gone. Does it have something to do with installation of the latest bios version (f.60)? Product:HP ProBook 4530s Do you need the model and serial number? Best regards 

    Ok, I expected that such an answer would come. Unfortunately I did not make any recovery discs. I know which suggestions come next. Normally you have to do that....bla, bla, bla and now I have to order some discs, which I have to pay, right? But before I go on I want to clarify the following. The funny point is that the program itself is gone, altough I did not deinstall it and the partition is there as well. Normally, a program which does not get deinstalled should be on the system, right. I do not talk about the fact that it does not work or does not get started. That would be another point, but it is just gone, out of nowhere.

  • Reformat of hard drive wiped lion recovery partition

    and internet recovery takes an eternity, i am redownloading lion from the appstore (to build a usb recovery pen) but i had to pay for it despite it coming preloaded on my laptop
    can i be reimbursed for this?
    system is an early 2011 Macbook Pro 15" 2.2ghz i7 that came preloaded with lion, so no reinstall disks just a recovery partition (thats gone) and internet recovery

    it only took so long because i have a crappy internet connection i think it downloads basically the files from the recovery partition from online.
    i lost the recovery partition by formatting my drive when restoring a time machine backup,  and when that installation wouldn't let me past the login screen i restarted going into the internet recovery, it took around 1.5hrs to download the necessary files (~1mb connection ) and loaded straight into what looked like the recovery partition, now in order to partition my hard drive for windows(says i have a broken partition map, fixing that can only be done outside of the operating system).
    hence i'm downloading lion as we speak from the appstore to keep on a usb stick
    edit: also internet recovery when it's downloading shows just a spinning globe with a progress bar and a timer at the bottom, it also appears to not save the files it's downloaded, just caches them

  • Find my Mac - Recovery partition required

    Hi,
    I tried to set up Find my Mac function on my mid2009 MBP, but on the preference pane of iCloud the checkbox is grey and says "Recovery partition required."
    I have a recovery partition, and it is bootable. The OS is 10.7.2, latest update.

    Thanks

    Ok i found out why it didn't see the drive:
    I deleted the "Backup" partition using Disk utility and with that my Recovery partition is gone too. I don't know why but deleted that too. I assume the two somehow connected.
    Now i have to create a new partition and make bootable. I found this tutorial but apple recently released a RecoveryHDUpdate and i want to work with that.
    So the problem is that i cannot to copy the content from the recoveryHDupdate disk image to a newly created partition.
    Thanks
