Recovery partition restore?

For some reason, it seems my D: drive has been reformatted, and now I get the following error when I attempt to backup my C: drive - "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable - 0x80070570". How do I fix this?

Hello cwnaht, If you have the HP Recovery Restore disk set, just insert Disk 1 of the set in the optical drive and boot the system.
Just follow the onscreen instructions on how to proceed. The partitions on the hard drive will be recreated and the data from the HP Recovery Restore disk will be written to the hard drive. You will be asked to remove Disk 1 and insert Disk 2 and so on.
When this completes, the system should reboot and start as it did the first time you started to use the computer.

  • How do I restore a Windows Backup Server backup recovery partition?

    I'm trying to test restoring a backup from our real server on a temp server.
    First, I was surprised it can't do a restore to a smaller drive because the original server is only 1/3 full (it wants to restore all the empty bytes too).
    Also it appears it wants to see that target partitions are already created.
    It wants to restore recovery to an EXISTING recovery partition and OS to an existing OS partition all with exact sizes.
    What if the old system died and I had to go to something new?
    Do I have to preinstall 2012 R2 on a bare drive so it creates the partitions?
    I've been down this path before, if it's not byte for byte match (offsets and all) it won't boot.
    I'm pretty sure I could restore just the OS partition and then do a Windows Repair which would move the master boot record onto the OS drive. But that seems wrong.
    What's the proper way to restore?
    Is Windows Backup Server to limiting?

    Hi,
    1. When trying to recover a partition, it requires a same or larger target partition. If you only backup data, there is no size limitation of the target partition. 
    2. We need an operation system to do the recovery. However you can perform a Bare Metal Backup so it could be restored without operation system - but it may force to backup more than partition C.

  • Can't restore from Time Machine using recovery partition

    I came up with the idéa to put in an extra disk (SSD) into my mid 2009 13" Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion and create my own fusion drive.
    In order to make sure not to lose all of my data I made sure to back up all my files using Time Machine so that simply could restore my entire system to the new drive.
    Careful as one should be when about to wipe the entire drive on a computer I wanted to check so that I could make a proper restore from my TM backup disk. So I booted into recovery mode and choose to restore from Time Machine and then I selected my external drive, but then nothing. Where the list of my latest backups should be there was nothing.
    I've tried to format the disk several times, changing disk permissions etc.
    Does anyone have a clue what could solve this? Is it possible that it has something to do with the fact that I'm (probably) running 10.8.3 and that my recovery partition is 10.8.2?

    Is the TM backup complete? When you Enter Time Machine, do you have snapshots going back in time?
    See here for info on a problem Pondini has found with Time Machine that may have affected you:
    UPDATED: Serious Time Machine bug on Mountain Lion (Updated)
    You may just have to restart your TM backups to get those folders backed up.
    If you do have that issue, please post at his link. He is trying to get enough background info to pass to Apple to solve the problem.

  • How to restore a Time machine backup and get a recovery partition?

    Hi,
    I'm quite confused!
    I restored from a Time Machine backup and then setup boot camp (and removed that partition a while back) and now I don't have a recovery partition. (Can't enable File Vault and
    bash-3.2# diskutil list /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD

    My new MacBook Pro didn't come with any CDs.
    Apparently I need the recovery partition to reinstall Lion from the internet.
    "Recovery HD offers on-disk recovery tools, allows you to restore from Time Machine backups, reinstall OS X Lion over the Internet..."
    The recommended solution from Apple seems to be reinstall with your OSX 10.6 CD (which I don't have) and then upgrade to Lion (which seems like a PITA).
    Info from : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4649
    What process should I follow to restore my recovery partition and apply the current state of the machine from a backup?
    (the process should not involve anything I don't have, like USB memory sticks, Lion CDs, etc....)
    Supplementary questions which are only relevant if the answer is "you can't" (which would seem to be a major bug!) :
    Or is there a clever method to install a recovery partition onto an existing disk (which clearly has space for it)? I have searched for it but all the results I found have either not mentioned that it works without reinstalling but look like it's needed, or do say "reinstall".
    If I install Lion to an external disk, can I boot from that and use the recovery disk assistant tool to restore the partition to my internal disk? (Which I assume I'll need to do to get FileVault to work) ?
    Thanks,

  • Need to restore but do not have a restore point or recovery partition.

    Hi guys. I have an HP Notebook 2000-365DX with Windows 7 Home Premium.   Its so cluttered and I need to restore back to original settings.  I had installed Ubuntu (partitioned)  a while back and was very stupid because I deleted my HP Tools recovery partition.  Now, I have searched here on HP.com to order a recovery disc and apparantly I cannot find one for my specific model.  So what I have done is downloaded a Windows 7 Home Premium .iso file (thanks to a kind soul on these forums) and I am needing to download all the drivers for my laptop as well but HP is having some issues right now so I can't download them (which is fine I'm in no hurry).  So that's about as far as my knowledge goes.  I have my Win7 disc, and will hopefully soon have my drivers disc.  What I don't know how to do is erase my computer to start from scratch installing Win7 again then all my drivers.  I have read that DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke) wipes your hard drive clean but that seems very extreme.  Seems like I would use that to erase my hardrive if I were selling my laptop or erasing evidence, but if that's my solution then I am cool with that.  So really, I'm wandering what I should do now.  And will I really have to re-install my drivers as well?  Any help would be so greatly appreciated!!!!!

    Hi, You can remove all the existing partitions on the HDD during installation as follows. Start the installation. When you get to the 'What type on installation' screen, choose the Custom ( advanced ) option and then click on Drive options (advanced). Here you can delete all the existing partitions one at a time by click on the partition to highlight it and then selecting delete. When done, you will have just one entry named 'Unallocated space' - just proceed with the installation. Regards, DP-K 

  • How do I create a recovery partition when restoring from Time Machine?

    I am planning to replace the HDD in my Macbook Pro with an SSD. I've used Time Machine to backup my HDD (running Mountain Lion) but am trying to find the best way to restore my Time Machine backup to the new SSD once installed.
    Given that the new SSD will not have a bootable OS X Recovery partition, I have created a bootable OS X Recovery drive on a USB thumb drive using OS X Recovery Assistant.
    In order to ensure that the new SSD has the OS X Recovery parition, should I:
         (1) reinstall Mountain Lion on the SSD then recover my data from Time Machine; or
         (2) can I simply use the Restore from Time Machine option in OS X Recovery to do it all at once.
    I can't seem to work out whether option (2) will create the OS X Recovery partition on the new SSD or just recover the system partition.

    Turns out the OS X Recovery partition is only created on a fresh install of OS X. Restoring via Time Machine will not do the trick.

  • 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:

    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:

  • Restore recovery partition from disc

    hello,
    i have bought hp pavilion dv6 6169ee from 2 days ago and after i bought it i installed the windows and everything was perfect then i tried to make partition shrank after that the system recovery didn't work and someone told me that i should make back up to my recovery on DVD so i have bought 4 dvds and made the back up and then i made recovery via the dvd disc but unfortunately it deleted everything including my recovery partition and my new partitions also
    so i want to know how i can restore my recovery partition again from my recovery disk or how i can reverse the burn recovery of my dvds to normal data as it was

    thanks,

    can anyone tell me what program should i use to unpack the 4 DVDS to recovery partition?

  • 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.

  • How to restore the HDD Recovery partition which has been deleted?

    Hello,
    due to the mistake, I removed HDD Recovery partition.
    Then, now I'm unable to restore eg. system state from before a fe hours.
    Is there any way to "make" HDRecovery once again?
    I really liked the funcionality of this tool, so it'd be nice but - can this be done? And how?

    Andrej is right you cannot do this.
    When you use Toshiba recovery media and install Vista this option will be available again.

  • New HD: Restoring the recovery partition

    Hi,
    I am trying to upgrade my 3000 N200 hard disk to a larger, faster disk (250G).
    I find the recovery function (Lenovo care key at boot) to be very useful, as I am a computer tech and my system deserves to be reinstalled often.
    My question is:  How do I migrate  the recovery partition to my new disk. 
    I used Symantec Ghost to clone from disk to disk (I put both in a desktop PC and copied straight from 1 to the other), but let ghost change the size of the data partitions (to my knowledge, ghost kept the exact same size for the hidden recovery partiton).
    But when I attempt to boot into the recovery partition, i just hangs after the F-key choice (where I pressed F11) on a blank screen.
    I saw one can make some disks and restore from disks, but I would like to use the recovery partition as it is self contained and always with the computer by definition.
    Is there a way to get things to work on the new disk.  I do have access to the old disk as it is still working OK, if slow.
    Thanks for information
    Marc

    Welcome to the forums
    The recovery disks will also make the service partition during installation process

  • How Can I Restore My formated Recovery partition ( D:\ ) ?

    Hello
    First, I'm Sorry For My Poor English.
    I have HP Pavilion 2020ev Laptop
    But i have a SUPER BIG PROBLEM
    I got a Real bad virus about 4 week ago And That Virus Format My "D" (recovery Partition ) and "F" (1TB External Hard Drive) .
    I lost My Rocovery Drive And Now I Have To Restore My Windows Without DVD/CD .
    Is there any solution to take back my recovery drive ?

    You're in a tough spots here. The hidden partition is wiped out and you lost your DVD's. I would call tech support and see your options about being able to have the recovery disks shipped to you or worst case scenarion, that may not be too costly to purchase. 

  • Restoring Vista's MBR so F11 actually loads the recovery partition?

    Hey guys, I have a Pavilion m8277c that came out of the factory with Vista 32-bit. I know from experience that by dual booting and installing another OS, either with another version of Windows (newer or older) or Linux, overwriting the MBR will cause F11 to not work in loading the recovery partition at startup (in fact, in the past I tried a Windows 7 beta and when I decided to wipe my hard drive clean some time after that, I had to use the recovery disks that I thankfully made before doing this experiment, as my recovery partition was nonfunctional). Right now I have a triple boot of Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Ubuntu Linux, with Linux's bootloader (GRUB) occupying the MBR, which could load any of the three OS's.
    Now, I decided to get rid of Linux altogether and wipe my hard drive clean again (I keep all my files on an external hard drive and I don't have much software to reinstall, plus I like keeping my system as lightweight as possible). I know that I can't use the recovery partition again this time, but I was wondering, that since from now on, I'm only going to be booting a Windows OS that's older than the factory preinstalled one, I can use Vista's bootloader to select between Vista and XP. I know that since Vista was preinstalled and so the recovery disks install it first, XP has to be installed afterwards. XP's bootloader will occupy the MBR and will not recognize Vista and also will cut off the link to the recovery partition again. I've heard of this program called EasyBCD that has been updated to support XP and restore Vista's boot record (source) so I believe I could actually restore Vista's MBR without having to use the recovery disks to fix them.
    I just want to know that if I were to restore Vista's bootloader by running EasyBCD, would that also fix the link to the recovery partition so that when I press F11 on bootup, the recovery partition would load? Or would I have to run my recovery disks to restore a custom MBR, or is it not possible at all to restore the recovery partition's functionality after a second OS has been installed after Vista? I could try it out since I believe my recovery disks are still functional, but I don't have much time right now for troubleshooting, so it would be better if someone else has already confirmed that it works and I could go ahead without issue.
    Thanks!
    (by the way, I know that Microsoft doesn't like it if we make more than one copy of a recovery disk, since they can install Windows on a blank HDD on any computer, but will copying a recovery DVD with a DVD burner allow the new set to work? I've had my old set for a while and I fear that they'll fail soon. Maybe there's a way to hack HP's recovery disk creation program so that we could make a second set?)

    Making a copy of your Recovery Disks is a good idea.I have done it myself and can verify they work. I have also used EasyBCD on a dual boot machine and found it quite easy.However I don't know whether F11 for Recovery is restored.I tend to doubt it,since F11 is looking for partition 2 of 2 partitions to boot from and there are 3. It would be an interesting experiment-let me know if you try it.
    Another option that usually works is using Disk Management to mark the recovery partition as active>>
    1.Right-click on "Computer" icon and select manage.
    2.This will launch the Microsoft Management Console.
    3.On the left side of the MMC, click on "Disk Management" and it will show you all of the partitions.
    4.Right-click on the "HP Recovery" partition and select "Mark as Active Partition."
    5.When the warning prompt appears, select "Yes" - Reboot and it will automatically boot into the Recovery Manager (without pressing F11).

  • When in the bare metal restore process is the Recovery partition made?

    When in the bare metal restore process is the Recovery partition made?
    When you boot from the Windows OS disks to do a bare metal restore, you get to the point where it asks you where your backup is, you point to it, and it performs the restore.  However, when you are finished, there is also a Recovery partition ahead of
    the OS partition.  When did the Recovery partition get made, before it asked where the backup is, or after?  Respond only if you know.
    Thanks!
