The recovery partition from my hp presario cq50 104ca notebook has been removed, if you are able to

Hi to all
Assume that the recovery partition from my hp cq50 104ca has been removed because in the past many times, I could reset back to factory setting, just by holding down alt and control and f11 by starting point. But now since few weeks can not do it. If you are able to assist me with that issue however.
Thank you in advance
Munir

Hi Munir,
If you have created your set of Recovery Discs, you can use these to reinstall the operating system - this procedure will also re-create the Recovery Partition on the Hard Drive.
If you don't have these discs, you can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.

If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

Format address panel in iCal to show Department from the address book. At the moment it is showing 'Job Title' even though that has been removed in Address Book.

Can anybody help please How do I Format address panel in iCal to show Department from the address book. At the moment it is showing 'Job Title' even though that has been removed in Address Book.

I have a similar problem. I actually spoke with a Paypal customer Representative a few months back who informed me that they had deleted all of my previous *Hidden* Address but when I just purchased an item today on a online merchant's site that I had never been to before and checked out using their Paypal option, I noticed that my default shipping address was in fact my old address and when I went to change the address to my current address, I noticed all of the old addresses I ever used were still there. I've just spoken with 2 separate paypal representatives who confirmed on their end that all of the old address have been deleted and the only one they have on file is my current address. Can anyone provide me an explanation as to why the old hidden address can still be showing up when I check out on merchant's sites using paypal even after they've seemingly been deleted? The last Representative suggested clearing out my browser's cache, but I don't believe that will resolve my issue. Thank you in advance.

Remove the Recovery Partition from an HP Stream 14-z010nr Laptop

I used the Recovery utility to create a recovery thumb drive. I would like to remove the 7GB recovery partition from the 32 GB SSD on my machine.
How do I do so?
This question was solved.

A number of laptops and tablets from different manufacturers have the same problem.
The usual reply is:
Use an SD/microSD for the extra storage.
The slightly better reply is:
Install programs directly to the SD card by creating a folder on it called "Program Files" then just change the drive letter when installing.
But some software will not allow you to install to removeable media
The best reply is:
1) Create a new folder on C: called "MicroSD" or similar (your choice)
2) Right-Click on "My Computer/This PC" icon and select Manage
3) Select Disk Management
4) Right-Click on your SD card (usually D and select Chang Drive Letter..
5) Click the Add... button
6) Choose "Mount in the following empty NTFS folder" and browse for your new folder
7) Click OK
8) Return to C: in Windows Explorer and find your new folder, which will now appear as a shortcut
9) Right-Click and select properties
10) de-select "Read only" and click OK
11) Double-click the shortcut and create a new folder "Program Files". If you are on 64 bit windows create another called ("Program Files (x86)"
12) You should now be able to see the "Program Files" folder if you open the D drive with Windows Explorer. This proves it works!
You can now install all and any software on your newly created folder, including all 10GB of Visual Studio 2013!

Can I change the software in the recovery partition from Vista to Win 7?

After doing a clean install of Windows 7 in a used Tecra A9 I just bought, I would like to replace the factory installed Vista Business software within the recovery partition with Win 7 code so as to be able to boot Win 7 in that partition in an emergency. How can I do that, and are there any serious downsides to getting rid of the "factory installed stuff"? Thanks in advance.

In the Creative Cloud Application you can change in Preferences the App language. Then you can download and install additional the other language.
With Photoshop you can now go to Preferences > User Interface and switch between all installed and available languages.

Your computer must be connected to the Internet in order to initially configure synchronization settings. Please ensure that you are able to connect to the Internet and try again.

I keep getting the above message when I try to configure my synchronization settings...yet I clearly have an internet connection. I downloaded the most recent Desktop Software and that did not correct the problem.
What am I missing?

I can erase the recovery directly from my probook 4530s whitout problems? or what to do?

I want those gb to instal linux (wubi is not an option), there is no problem with a direct erase of that partition?
because i see some machines (don't remember if was an HP specifically) that when the recovery partition is lost (or when another OS is instaled) a verification check appears and later windows don't start (and reinstalling the actual windows not's an option right now)
some enlightment?
Thanks

Hi:
I have removed the recovery partitions from time to time on all of my HP business desktops and notebooks, and never had an issue.
I do suggest you contact HP and get a set of recovery disks for your notebook.

How do I start a recovery directly from the recovery partition? Windows 8

Is there a method by which I can go directly to the recovery partition on my CQ58 and initiate a system recovery? I downgraded my system to Windows 7 Home Premium and now I am ready to go back to Windows 8. I made sure to create the Windows 8 recovery disc yet when I run it everything starts normal but then it displays a message Unable to reset your PC. A required drive partition is missing. Yet the recovery partition is there and all of the software is still contained in it. When I click on the folders on the drive it denies me access. What do I do?

Hi there ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I looked into the issue you are having with the missing partition on your Notebook. I found a document called Resetting Your PC to Resolve Problems for Windows 8. I also found a document for you from Microsoft. It is called Fix: The drive where Windows is installed is locked. I think that this is the Manual for your Notebook as well (please double check it is the right Notebook.) If not I would be happy to get you the right one. Open the manual and press ctrl+f on your keyboard. A little box will pop up (its a search box). Type in partition to see every time partition is mentioned in the whole document and use the arrows to find out where. If you pay special attention to Chapter 7 page 74 to 79, it will give you information about partitions and troubleshooting.
Please follow these provided troubleshooting steps.
Have a great day!

How do I get the Recovery partition onto a DVD set from my solid state drive?

My Pavilion dv6 has only a solid state drive. I need to recover and reuse the 23 gb currently partitioned for recovery. To do this I need to move the recovery files off the drive. Can this be done? Where do i find instructions on how to do it?
Thanks,

Hello txi, Your best bet would be to use a hard drive image program and perform a complete hard drive image.
If you have Windows 7 on the SSD this would include the System partition, the C: partition and the D: Recovery partition.
The D: Recovery requires some data from the Master Boot Record (MBR) in order to be accessed.
Just trying to copy the data from the Recovery partition would not be successful if you wanted to use this data later.
By making a hard drive imgae of the entire hard drive, and saving this image on an external hard drive, or a large enough USB drive, you could then delete the D: partition and expand the C: partition to recover the D: partition capacity.
Then if you need to revert back as the system was when the hard drive image was created, the D: partition would be put back on the SSD.

Can I Create The Recovery Disk(s) From The Recovery Partition? Can I Copy The Partition?

I searched the forums to find an answer to this question, but was unable to find one. It seems to me that it might be useful info for others trying to create Recovery CD/DVDs from a failed hard drive that still has an accessible Recovery Partition so hopefully we can figure out a solution. :-)
I have a Pavilion dv9408ca (Vista Home) with a hard drive that won't boot. I removed the hard drive and was able to read it on another system. I was also able to to create a Virtual Machine and run it so I recovered all the important data. I installed it in an external drive case and tried to boot from it but I wasn't able to access the Recovery Partition (F11 option didn't show and didn't work), and Windows wouldn't load.
It's possible that the controller is the problem so I don't want to buy another hard drive yet. I would like to format the original hard drive and create a 'factory' system but I don't have Recovery CD/DVDs. I cannot create the Recovery CD/DVDs using the Virutal Machine (I presume it's because it's not running on an HP).
The dv9408ca can boot form the DVD drive (ran UBCD, etc. and they booted fine).
Can I copy the Recovery Partition and make a bootable set of CD/DVDs by using some other program or copying the files/folders? I have CD/DVD burning software (Nero) that can create bootable CD/DVDs. Or can I use the Virtual Machine to run a program that will do this without using the HP Recovery Manager software in Windows?
Or... Can I create a set of Recovery CDs from another Pavilion Notebook (different model but same Vista OS) and use those to format/recover the dv9408ca system?
Thank you for your help with this problem.

This is only option which might work for you provided the product number of other laptop matches with your existing system Else you can order a set of recovery disk for your Notebook(dv9408ca) from here for a nominal charge.

How to prevent computer from sleeping when downloading Lion from the recovery partition?

Hello,
I just got a new MacBook Pro that came with Lion. I'm reinstalling from the recovery partition and I'm on the downloading additional components stage. It has 3 hours to go and the computer keeps going to sleep. How can I prevent this? I don't want to have to babysit the computer for 3 more hours.
Thanks.

Looking for an answer to this question now. Did you find one? I'm about an hour into a 6+ hour reinstall of Mountain Lion from the Recovery partition on my MacBook Pro. So I can't change the sleep corners or caffenate it or do much of anything but wait. I want to go to bed and let it install overnight, but I assume it will go to sleep, and that will kill the download. It there any way to prevent it from sleeping now?
Even trying to think of something I can put on the trackpad to trick it into thinking I'm touching it.
Maybe ill put it under my dog, and her movements will keep it awake? Thinking outside the box here.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi,
If you don't already have one, use another PC to create a Windows 7 Recovery CD. Download the relevant ISO from the links below.
Windows 7 32bit
Windows 7 64bit
You should use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD. Once created, or if you already have this, insert the CD and restart to boot from it. Select the Repair option.
Select the 'Repair your Computer' option and follow Option 2 in the guide on the link below to run Start-up Repair – you may need to run this 2 or 3 times.

How can i completely remove the recovery partition?

Hi, i own an HP notebook model Pavilion 15-e070sl and i want to know how i can remove the recovery partition. I just performed a clean install from my System Recovery DVDs and i don't need the recovery partition anymore (since i got those DVDs), so i decided to delete it from the HP Recovery app; now the data has been deleted but i have a 17GB circa unallocated space on the disk, and i'd like to merge it with C to get some more space, but i don't know how to do it. I tried with thw windows disk management and i can't, i tried with easeus partition master but after moving those two little partitions before the unallocated space or even deleting them (see the pic http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/6928/1lge.png) i can't expand C: to get rid of the unallocated space.
Any suggestion?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Assuming E: is the Recovery Partition. Please try:
Right-click Computer > Manage > Storage > Disk Management, then right-click the graphic of the E partition and select Delete. The partition returns to Unallocated for a Primary Partition or Free Space if it‘s a Logical Drive within an Extended Partition. Delete the partition if it is an Extended partition.
Now right-click the graphic of the C partition and select Extend.
Note: C and E must be sitting next to each other.
Regards.

Oh, the irony of referring to yourself as "myklthebrain". Make an appointment, at the nearest Apple store, with an Apple Genius, and hope that (s)he can sort it out.

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.
