Windows 7 64 bit recovery disk

Hello,
I bought ThinkPad T510 with 3 Gb of RAM and Windows 7 32 bit Professinal Russian (I'm from Russia).
I'm going to upgrade RAM in my laptop, but I need to change OS from 32 bit to 64 bit. I know that it is legally possible - the license allows to use 32 or 64 bit variant of same version of the OS. Also I found instructions how to make this possible - contact with Lenovo's support.
The only way for me (customer from Russia) is to contact by phone. I talked to support person, ask for recovery disk of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit Russian, but I was told that this is not available in Russia. Period. The only way is manually install Windows 7 Professioanl 64 bit Russian from Microsoft's installation media and use my license number for activation.
But what about the whole bunch of dirvers and other software like ThinkVantage? OK. I can download all these software and install it by hand, but what about recovery and restore, what if I will need to reinstall the whole system from scratch?
Lenovo's recovery disks is the fast and simple way to get working system. Because of that I'm looking for oppurtunity to get recovery disk.
Is there other way to obtain recovery disk? Maybe I can purchase it internationally directly from Lenovo? Or may be it is possible to obtain recovery disk electronically (ISO image should be fine for burn my own copy)?
Can any body help with it? At least by suggesting of recommendation?

You don't actually need Rescue and Recovery.
Window 7 have build in backup and restore capaibility and just as good. Complete a fresh window 7 64 bit installation, load the minimum thinkvantage software you need, install your own personal software and then do a system backup to an external disk or DVD discs.

  • Looking for hp dv9810us vista 64 bit recovery disk. can anyone help please?

    I have searched my product for the recovery disks and HP should actually have them. But on the support/software page for my laptop they did not have the link. I also have a dv2 which is much older and was able to order the recovery disks. I am in serious need of the HP Pavilion Dv9810us Vista Home Premium 64 bit recovery disks if anyone can help.
    I dont understand something else either. The dv2 that I own also had upgrading to windows7 drivers and such on the product support page for my dv2. Odd that this dual core laptop that is much more advanced does not.

    DV9810us came with Vista 32bit I believe.I have the smaller 14.1" version(dv2810us) and it came with 32bit. Recovery Media is listed under Vista 32bit drivers/software:

  • New windows 8 recovery disks from HP installed but won't work

    I installed a new hard drive in a friends Dell G6-2249WM. She didn't make recovery disks so I ordered them from HP.
    They seem to install fine, I click "Finish" and the notebook shuts down. When I start it I get:
    Boot device not found
    Please install an operating system on your hard disk
    Hard disk (3F0)
    F2  System diagonstics
    for information, please visit: www.hp.com\go\techcenter\startup
    I've run Hard drive diagonstics, it passes.
    I've reset the bios to default.
    I've hit Esc at start up, then hit F11 - the notebook then just goes back to the above "Boot device not found" screen.
    I've removed all formating on the drive (on another computer). Reinstalled the Recovery disks and still have the same problem.
    I received 3 Windows 8 Recovery disks and 1 Application and Recovery DVD from HP.

    Sorry, your right, the one I'm working on is a HP G6-2249WM. MY laptop is a Dell. I did reseat the drive after the first install try. The hard drive test says it passes. I just tryed reinstalling the disks without the 4th "Application and driver disk".  still didn't work. It formats and loads all the files on the disks but then won't start the recovery after shut down.  I took the drive out and connected it to my desk top computer. I has 2 partitions, one with 18.9 gb with one boot.sdi, one boot.wim a seperate RM folder containing several base.swm files and one bild.wim file. The other partition is empty. Is there a way to force the recovery partition to unpack and start?

  • Windows 8 Recovery Disks/Windows 10

    Will the recovery disks work with WINDOWS 10? Thank you, Lynn

     Commentary Hmm..  I am not the best one to answer in detail about some of this; I have less 'hands on' experience with this subject than some of our Experts. The Recovery Drive inlcudes your installation software to the extent that "full program" software - both Windows and HP programs and and Drivers are included.  That means if the program is the "full version" and NOT a trial version of the program, and it was fully installed when you first booted the computer, that software program / Driver should be there.  If the program was a trial version, for example, a trial version of Security Software or a trial version of Office Software -- or a trial version of a game or photo software program, then THAT program -- or group of programs -- will not be included on the Recovery. Why the discrepancy?  Trial software is just that -- temporary stuff.  You don't get a second shot at it. You can get an idea of the types of HP software that are included by opening your Recovery Manager and sifting through the list of drivers and software (check under "I need immediate help" > list). The "whole version" Windows programs, for the most part will be listed in Programs and Features.  Remember the warning about "trial" software -- you won't see trial software should you ever need to recovery the Operating System. Reading the Recovery Drive Data:Even assuming you read the Recovery drive data and it checks out, none of it would prove reliably whether the Recovery will actually work when the time comes to apply the data.  Why?  Because reading the information from a quiecent database does not indicate how the data will respond to a data recovery situation. Depending on the Drive data format - to read the database:Use DISM or (possibly) read with Win7 zip (When using with Windows 8, this could corrupt the .wim file, use caution when opening the file).   =============================================================If you are concerned about the Recovery Drive integrity -- and you might have reason to be at least a bit concerned because sometimes the Recovery media does indeed fail  -- you can ask HP about purchasing a set of Recovery media. If you are in the USA, you need to fill out a web form and leave contact information -- the "new way", I am afraid.  We are now in "modern times" and everyone must first fill out the form before talking to an agent.   Form only takes a couple of minutes, so no worse than typing anything else... Contact HP – USA - Assistance HP Tech support/ Customer Service – Some English Speaking CountriesIncluding UK and Europe =============================================================You could do what others have done, too -- you can create a Image of your data.  This is like the Windows 7 Image with which we are all familiar -- and to some extent you get to tell the Image what it will contain.   This is meant to be a "backup" to your other means of recovery.  Windows 8 Features – A Quick Tour See Section titled:Image Backup – Windows 8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Custom Refresh Option is a hybrid Recovery operation -- assuming your computer is not completely trashed (inoperable) and that perhaps it only needs the Operating System reinstalled along with some of the programs and setups, then the Custom Refresh might be useful.  This, too, is a "backup" means of Recovery.  It is not a "full" Recovery option in that the Refresh only "overloads" the Operating System; there is no disk format and the User's files (your data) are not interrupted -- don't trust it:  Back up your personal data. Reminder:Custom Refresh requires the use of the Recovery Manager.  See Section titled:Refresh and Custom Refresh Option NOTE:Understand that, depending on what is going on (what is wrong), Custom Refresh does not always provides the necessary means to get the computer running again -- do not depend on this as your only means of recovering the system  -- Custom Refresh does give you the option to back up your installed programs (other than just the Windows installed at factory) and it does provide a possible means to "reload" a touchy-itchy-not-running-quite-right computer more quickly than it takes to run a full Recovery. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------To all who pass here: Failing to back up your personal data is begging for trouble.  This means you should back up your personal data to a USB drive, to the cloud, to a backup program.  Back up your data to as many places as you think it is going to take to make sure you don't lose it.  The computer is NOT going to take care of your data for you.  Do not trust your computer. ========================================================== When you see a Post that helps you,Inspires you, provides fresh insight,Or teaches you something new,Click the "Thumbs Up" on that Post. Click my Answer Accept as Solution to help others find Answers.

  • Windows Vista recovery disk

    I want to order a recovery disk for my laptop, however when i give them the computer's serial number and part number they tell me to select which disk i would like to purchase but the only option they give me is one with 64bit however my computer is running vista 32bit would i still be able to restore my computer or do i need the 32bit? If so what can i do to order it because this is my only option: SW Media - DVD-Satellite-L300-Win Vista 64bit Home Premium-EN as you can see it has 64bit.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    This is my serial number: 89577426Q
    And Part number: PSLB8U-14F025

    Hi Chicharito,
    I've forwarded the problem info to the people who manage the recovery media database so that it can be corrected.  Meanwhile, if you send me a Private Message with your daytime phone number I will also send that to Customer Service and request that they contact you.
    In case you weren't aware of this option, if your laptop is currently operating normally you should be able to restore the original hard disk image by first shutting down Windows and then holding down the zero ('0') key while the system boots up.  You should also be able to run the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator program to burn your own set of recovery media onto blank discs.
    Of course, you should also be able to order the correct recovery media so do send me a Private Message with the requested info if you'd like to continue down that path.  To access Private Messages, click on the small envelope icon in the upper right area of this and most forum pages. From there, click the 'Compose New Message' tab and enter "jim" in the 'Send To' field.

    Shubham_ringne,
    I just tried a Windows "REFRESH" on my HP 13 Split x2 that came with Window 8 and was upgraded to 8.1 . After clicking REFRESH, Windows stated "Window 8.1 would have to be reinstalled after the Refresh". Additionally, Windows advised that some software, apps, and drivers would need to be reinstalled after the refresh. The Windows "REFRESH" returned the computer to Windows 8. Please see Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8) to start the "REFRESH" process.
    The HP Recovery partition should not have changed and should contain the original Windows 8 factory image. Once you have refreshed your computer and it is back to Windows 8, you be able to follow the instructions in Creating Recovery Discs or Saving a Recovery Image to a USB Flash Drive (Windows 8) to create you Windows 8 HP Recovery Media.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Replaced Hp with new hard drive but now i cannot install windows 7 recovery disks

    Ok, so my laptop is a hp pavilion dv4-2165dx that has a broken screen and sometime after best buy tried to fix it the hard disk blew. I bought a new hard disk and put it in the computer and i got the official recovery and installation disks for windows 7. The hard drive is recognized by the computer and does start the recovery manager but it gets to 1% and does not go further. I let it run all night and the next morning it said that the cd failed. Did it fail because i have to connect an hdmi cord to my lg tv to see anything? Or was it because of something else?
    I researched and found that with a new hard drive i will have to partition it and then format it to work with windows 7.
    My question is, if the computer doesnt boot or let me use windows how can i partition and format the new hard disk? I have an older hp laptop as well that works efficiently in regard to its age (7) yrs. i wonder if i can buy a usb to sata/ide cord and attach the new disk to my old laptop and partition/format it there? Idk

    Hello CaptianNike, welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you're trying to install Windows 7 on a replacement hard drive. I will try to assist you with this.
    You definitely could use another computer to format and partition the drive. I'm not certain about the cables you've mentioned though (looked with goolgle and you can get usb to sata cables). If the computer is a desktop you should be able to connect it internally to just do the format/partition.
    If the recovery disks worked correctly, then you should have the option to do the format and partition via Windows. This could be an indication as well that there's an issue with the disks.
    Which leaves you with the option of obtaining another set of disks to try, or trying to partition first then installing. The easier would be the latter.
    I hope this helps.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • T500 Windows 7 recovery disk installati​on

    Can anyone confirm that when installing the recovery disk for window 7 on a T500 mode 2242 laptop that you have
    Bluetooth, Diigital Line Detect and RCIMGDIR.exe
    in the startup menu of Windows 7, after installation?

    hi JJPINOLA,
    Can you boot into the BIOS, enabled RAID mode and set the following:
    Boot Tab:
    UEFI = Disabled
    CSM = Disabled (if applicable)
    Security Tab:
    Secure Boot = Disabled (if applicable)
    Exit Tab:
    OS Optimized Defaults = Other OS or Disabled (if applicable)
    When done, press F10 to save and exit BIOS then proceed in re-installing Win7. Also, do consider checking the HDD and the SSD's health by running a diagnostic outside of Windows.
    To create the diagnostic disc:
    a. On another machine, download the UBCD ISO and burn in using imgburn.
    b. Insert the bootable diagnostic disc that you just created into the defective computer and reboot
    c. Configure the BIOS to boot from the disc (BIOS > Startup Tab > Startup/Boot Sequence)
    d. On the diagnostic options, navigate to HDD > Diagnosis > & choose the diagnostic software depending on the brand of your HDD (i.e. choose Seagate for DOS if you have a Seagate HDD)
    e. Alternatively, follow this guide to burn the diagnostic softwre on a flashdrive,

    View Solution.

    Hi,
    Here's one option you could try as it will give a good indication whether there is a hardware problem with the optical drive itself. 
    Create a bootable Ubuntu CD
    The Ubuntu CD you create should run as you boot the notebook ( as should your Recovery Discs ) , so if this will not run, the problem is almost certainly a Hardware issue with the DVD drive or the sata controller.
    On another PC, follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if your noteboo will run this OS from the CD.  The 'try it' option does not need to install on the Hard Drive, it just runs from the CD.
    http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
    Let me know if this will run.

    Hi
    The upgrade is pretty easy: Just purchase a Microsoft update disk and then you can update Vista to Windows 7 Thats all!
    But if you bought your notebook from June 26, 2009 to January 31, 2010 you can order a Windows 7 upgrade disk directly:

  • How do I make a windows 10 recovery disk

    How do I make a back-up/recovery disk for Windows 10?  I made one when I bought this machine that had Windows 8.1 on it but I don't recall how I did it.  Help please.  Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi there 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that you are looking for a method to make a recovery disk for your system after upgrading to Windows 10.  I am happy to help with this. The method you would have used to make recovery media for your original operating system would be to use the factory installed recovery manager.  As an FYI for the Windows 8 method -Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
    Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems (Windows 8)HP PCs - Creating and Using a System Image to Restore Your Computer (Windows 8) However those tools are not going to help for making a Windows 10 image. For Windows 10, the intention of Microsoft is to dispense with recovery images, however there are still ways to make one. Here are a few pages I found that cover the options in the operating system, how to make a repair disk, and to make an image. Recovery options in Windows 10 - windows.microsoft.comHow to Create a USB Recovery Drive in Windows 10 - www.tenforums.comReset Recovery Image - Create in Windows 10 - www.tenforums.com I hope this helps.

    I got it to work..... The solution: Even though I was not getting any errors during the recovery (only when rebooting after the install) I read about issues with the software recognizing the computer as the one entitle for that installation. I downloaded the "DMI Update Utility" installed it and reinstalled the software again from the recovery CDs with no issues this time..... Thanks for your interest Techman....
