Recovery, No Upgrades Like SP1 Or 2?
Jun 3, 2009
Vista Home Edition and no upgrades like SP1 or 2 This is on a laptop, ACER, with 512 of RAM He removed the files from his "D" which was his recovery area. He did not make recovery disks. He put pictures from the internet on "D". I don't know.
His computer is VERY slow. When I start IE6 it is about 6 minutes before it will open on the screen. I am thinking more RAM so I ordered 1GB more. If that doesn't help can I make a complete install of Windows XP from a disk I received with another computer?

Quite a few of my XP clients have requested upgrades to Vista in the last few days. They have been reading that their XP support and updates will cease in the near future and are suddenly waking up to the fact that Vista is now 'cheaper'.It is as if Vista is brand new again. Nevermind that Windows 7 is lurking on the horizon. Anybody else found this or thinking this way?

I've upgraded to 6 gb of ram from an original of 3gb. Regardless if Vista (32) bit will display this on the OS properties page or not does this improve my systems performance ? Is my system using this additional RAM or is it just idle? I did that systems check for optimal performance and the score was 5.0. No I am not computer savy that I'm sure that is obvious. Is there a fix to work around where the OS will display the actual memory available?

We are wondering if he should go with the 64bit software so he is open to more memory upgrades? If so should we do xp pro or vista business. Also is the T9400 suitable. I do not really trust the opinion of a customer service rep.

After my PC was burned out by lightening through my Broadband connection I
received a new PC from my insurers with Win.Vista Business, but I did not
received (and will not) the Windows Installation CD.
Whilst setting up the new PC with various matters an invitation appeared for
me to make a Windows Recovery disc, but I was too busy with other matters to
do it there and then, so thinking that this invitation will appear again I
cancelled it.
It is now some weeks and the invitation has not reappeared. Which way can I
make the Recovery Disc in case of a crash?

I'm concerned my system may crash and I have no back up and recovery disk or Vista installation disk. I was told I could order one from the manufacturer but I'm wondering if there is a way to create one after setup. I have a XP Home Edition I suppose I could use but I would rather create a Vista backup, if possible.

Quote: If you have a HP computer, then HP has it's own version of System Restore installed called HP Recovery Manager. You can uninstall this in Programs and Features.
I ran across this statement in Tutorials.
It needs some clarifications:
In Pavillion and Presario notebooks, HP Rec Mgr does more than just System restore. And btw, HP does not have its own version of SR. It runs Windows' version.
HP Rec Mgr has other functions: Re-install original software programs and hardware drivers and complete System Recovery restoring the original hard disk factory template. It can be utilized to create a set of recovery discs.
In HP Business notebook, Rec Mgr does not re-install software progs and drivers but does the others listed in Pavilion/Presario models.
I don't think HP Recovery Manager should be uninstalled. Or if perchance, he meant uninstalling System Restore, be aware that HP Rec Mgr will be unable to system restore on its own if Windows SR is unstalled or disabled.

After some major problems with my system, I had to perform a complete reinstall of Vista. The folks from Dell talked me through it. But now, in my My Computer window, where it used to show my 2 hard drives plus the Recovery Drive, it no longer shows the Recovery Drive. I was relatively sure that space was partitioned off of my C drive, but it's not showing up. there's a possibility that a technician hid it while remotely accessing my system. Is there a way for me to check?
if there is no Recovery Drive, how much should I worry (it sure didn't help me LAST time the computer needed restoring)? I am planning to get an offsite backup a la Carbonite or an external drive for backups soon. For all I know, that makes the Recovery Drive a moot point anyway, but I'm not sure.

I am having a time and a half trying to create recovery DVD's. I keep getting the error message that "this computer does not have a drive capable of creating cds and dvds". I definitely have a dvd burner so I know that's not the actual problem. From the research I've done, I think I may have uninstalled some DVD softward that was pre-installed on my Windows Vista HP Pavilion TX2110us laptop. Does anyone know how to fix this problem. I desparately need to re-install Windows and I don't really want to do it without having the created recovery dvds.

i ask if someone may know of a way to create a bootable USB flash drive with a OEM Vista recovery CD. coz as you know now adays laptops have a recovery cd which is liable to be lost or scratched and the worse senario is when you had deleted the recovery partition. in that case your only hope is to order a new set of recovery cd from manufacturer which in my case didnt restore the recovery partition thats why i need to recover the system from an usb flash drive.

I will probably do several system recoveries in the next couple of months for a Vista problem that is too lengthy to explain. A friend told me that causes wear on a hard drive and can shorten its life. Is that true?

I have a Latitude D830 with Vista Business 32bit at home and a Optiplex 745 at work with Vista Business 32bit. Both machines show a second partition called Recovery (D. This partition on both machines is 1.99 GB. I have talked to Dell about this partition but could not get a satisfactory answer. One Dell person I talked to said that the partition was created by Vista not Dell, which made me laugh. I then quit talking to that guy because he obviously did not know what he was talking about.
I figure there must be some reason for it if they bother to put it there. Does anyone know what it is for? Currently the Optiplex shows 1.41 GB free, not sure about the D830 but it is about the same. I know Dell has 10 GB recovery partitions that contain a ghost image so one could restore the computer back to an out of the box setup in a matter of minutes rather than using the cds/dvds to reload windows.

There is a recovery disk (a disk image) you can make yourself by using TrueImage or some other such program. Then there are recovery disks that come with a new computer. Which are you talking about?" I'd like to state to Mr. Urban emphatically that I've had Acronis for years. I've helped on their forums. Many people can't recover with the disc Acronis makes.
When I'm trying to fix a Microsoft Windows Operating System, in Vista or any build of Windows 7, I prefer to use the tools that Microsoft has made rather than Acronis. I'm going to be blunt here. Microsoft pays their engineers far more than Acronis will ever dream of paying theirs and there is a damn good reason. Microsoft's engineers have considerably more education, training, imagination, and competence than Acronis' personnel, and frankly Acronis backups (the .tibs) and their Recovery Disc often results in failure............................

My hard drive crapped out on me recently. Fortunately my computer is still under warranty so HP sent me a new (well, certified repaired) one and some recovery discs. Turn on computer, put in disc 1 to start the process. The recovery goes very slowly. It takes about 6 -hours- by the time the 3rd disc checks off on finishing installing the Windows portion. When the "reinstalling original content" phase starts it never gets past 0%. I also tried using the recovery DVDs I made when I got the computer and got the same result.
I can run diagnostics (F9) when I turn on the computer and get no problems detected with the HD or anything else. I have not added any extra components to the computer. Everything is set to original default state. HP said they probably gave the the wrong discs but I doubt this is the problem since the ones I made didnt work either.

I don't know if this is the right forum but i wasn't sure which other group i could post this to. Does anyone know of a program that you can use to boot from cd into a file manager or something like that so if windows wouldn't boot i could still gain access to my files and copy them over my network to another pc?

my computers been running a little slow and ive decided to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows. However, i looked on the bottom of the laptop and the key has been faded so some numbers are very hard to recognize. I researched what to do in situations like this, and i came across and RJL software, and keyfinders that all gave me the same product key, but did not match the numbers i could make out on the bottom of the laptop. I do have the recovery disks, but i know i will be prompted to fill in my serial number and i dont know how to recover it

I had to create a windows recovery disk
I used it to system restore her system to a date before she had set her password
and on the menu it said install vista
and on my old laptop that my dad has it's a 2gb compaq presario
they're not made anymore
it has low memory it's very slow and really
hardly useable without getting very stressed
so if I used the recovery disk I created
and click install vista
will it be like a new laptop?
there's nothing needed on the laptop
so nothing is being lost by resetting the laptop
it's got vista home premium x86

Last month I got a HP laptop and I forgot to take recovery disks.
Due to some problems, my OS got corrupted and so I re installed vista
ultimate x64 in my laptop. I have installed all the necessary driver
softwares. Can I create a recovery parition or recovery disks with the
current setup? If yes, how? Also how many times can I create recovery
disks? Is it a one time process?

I have made a mistake and I am struggling to get out of this mess, I hope Shawn or someone who experienced this problem can help me out.
I was doing the Factory state recovery using Alt+F10 while booting in my Acer Aspire laptop, everything was fine until the "Acer Launch" window appeared. The last process Install eRecovery solution is not completing. The AL window just sitting in the middle of the screen and couldn't be moved. I tried to disable it from startup, msconfig window vanishes behind the Acer Launch window.
I think the cause of this problem is I forgot to create the 2nd(D: data) partition prior to starting the Recovery process.
My original set up was like this:
EISA hidden partition
C: system partition
D:data partition
I have deleted the D: partition and extended the C partition
I have created Recovery disc but I don't have Vista installation DVD as my machine is OEM version of Vista on it. I do have an Anytime upgrade DVD which came with the laptop when I bought.
