Partitions And Laptop Recovery
Nov 29, 2011
I have an Acer and a HP laptop. Right now, both of them have the original partitions settings: a system partition C:, a recovery partition, and a HP/Acer Tools partition. I want to shrink the system C: smaller and create a new partition just to store media files. Assuming that I have that done next week and 6 months from now, I want to use the recovery partition to restore to original settings. Will the restore process including wiping the partition I created and go back to just the C: and the one I created with the media files gets wiped?

I just partitioned my C drive and now have an I: drive that I use for data, music and movies and such.My question is this: if I have to do a system recovery. Will I lose that partition? Or will Windows 7 re-install on the C: drive without touching that partition?

My machine came with Windows7 pre-installed and no installation DVD, instead there is a separate partition labelled WINRE (5GB) for recovery purposes (I guess at least).Now I messed up my whole system and deleted all partitions but this recovery one (setting up a dual boot). I also have the System Recovery Disk and would anybody know if I can reinstall Windows 7 with these two?

i was setting up my new laptop to be a dual boot machine (W7 + Ubuntu) but got an error message that i was already at the maximum number of partitions on my HDD. there is my C drive, a G drive called data (19.53GB, containing recovery_dvd 1, 2, and 3 .iso's) and two recovery partitions ( 11GB and 100MB, the 100MB one says it is active. are both recovery drives and the G Data necessary? i burned what thought was a recovery disk when i got the computer, but looking back i think i accidently burned a system repair disk instead. i also have a backup on an external harddrive (it confirms it in the backup and restore window). 180GB in C drive so its too much to backup on to dvds at this point, unless that's what recovery_dvd iso's in G drive are for? they are small enough to burn, so i would be happy with doing that and removing both recovery partitions if necessary.

I'm thinking of installing the RC of Windows 7 when it is released tomorrow. But there is one thing that is worrying me. When I go to install 7, i have read that it creates a 200mb partition. On my Acer laptop, there are already 4 paritions, a 9.76GB which does not show up as a drive, a 69.77GB which is labeled as 'ACER', a 66.27GB which is labeled 'DATA' and then a 3.24GB partition which again does not show up as a drive.I know that there is a recovery partition built in, will this 200mb parition affect them? I will be installing (using the upgrade) on to 69.77 Partition, or will it just spilt the 69.77 partition into two?

It came with 2 primary partitions: a 650 gb C drive (boot) and a 50 gb D drive (recover). Because the windows partition tool didn't let me reduce the partition size by more than 50%, I decided to use EaseUS partition master to do that. I made D drive logical and renamed it to F, made the C drive 200 gb and made a new 400 gb logical drive and named it D. Then I restarted the laptop and let the tool do its work. After this, the problem started. I couldn't get past the bios screen, and couldn't even tap F2 and F8 to get in the boot menu. When I inserted my windows 7 recovery dvd, I heard the dvd drive working, but nothing happened. When I plugged in a usb drive, however, the laptop loaded the cd drive and I could reinstall windows 7 from the cd. Windows works now, actually, even my old windows installation still works, but I still can't boot up without inserting the usb drive first.

One of my friends has a windows 7 computer with an account for himself, his mother and his 2 sisters. All the home directorys are stored in drive C. Partition D is shared. The question is, how to get a partition layout like this?
Partition 1: OS + programs
Partition 2: home partition for himself
Partition 3: home partition for his mother
Partition 4: home partition for his sister
Partition 5: home partition for his other sister
Partition 6: shared partition for some photos.

Every time i clicked on the start menu, opened a webpage or clicked on a file it would freeze , unfreeze after 5 minutes and then.... ye freeze.So it kept freezing, and at times when i tried booting it, i would be faced with a useless black screen.i managed to find my recovery disk and started a " full destructive recovery " using the built in Repair Environment ( re-install basically ).So now that i'd re-installed it, here was me thinking everything would be hunky-dory. Ofcourse, it is not.Already , even after a few days it is showing signs of freezing up again. I'm scared to click too fast or open too many apps incase it bombs out on me. With 4GB RAM and a 2.1 GHZ Processor , freezing up should be the last thing to happen...I have tried virus scans etc, used ccleaner's registry fixer aswell but i can't seem to find the issue.

I am working an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC laptop w/ Windows 7 pre-installed. It is having some lock up issues, somewhat resolved after removing Mcafee Av, but still tends to freeze up at times. The user had several registry cleaners on it and I think between those two it still has some registry issues.
The Recovery partition does not show an option for a non-destructive repair install, like in XP. It has Software Program Reinstallation, Hardware Driver Reinstallation, System Restore, and System Recovery. The System Recovery makes it very clear that it will format the hard drive and all files created by the user will be lost.
Is there any other option to reinstall the OS without losing all his personal files? I would back them up for him, but he has allot of movie files that would take up too much space.
Or.. would creating another partition for all his movie files to be stored on, and then doing a System Recovery on the main partion work?

I was recovering my laptop to it's factory settings, and during this, I closed the lid which caused it to hibernate mid recovery.When I now lift up the lid and click the power button, it does not switch on, as though it has been drained of power (it hasn't)I have tried putting it on the AC and holding power for 30 seconds.I've tried it without the battery, with and all the possible ways; all resulting in a dead end

My linkMy errors and updates are all stated there, however I will also continue anything I restarted the process. This time, during the startup of the computer I repeatedly tapped Esc. then selected my P2 HL-DT-STDVDRAM GT34N and pressed enter. This was followed up by the usual "Windows is loading files..." progress bar. Afterwards, it sat at the "Starting Windows" screen for eight minutes. It loads a basic ASUS wallpaper and cursor. I am then confronted with the prompt: AI RECOVERY-Are you ready to restore this image yes/no?I select yes.AI RECOVERY:Restoring it will overwrite your hard drive. Do you want to continue? Ok/cancelI select ok. The AI Recovery Restore begins-This DVD will help you recover hidden partition. Check the AC adapter connection and do not interrupt the restoration process.

I have a ASUS laptop which crashed after AVG installation. Did everythying (changed the AVG folder name etc). Now stops at CLASSPNP.SYS in safe mode. Also cant go to Repair ( get message "Windows is Loading Files") and nothing happens....
I dont mind formating and doing complete reset to Factory settings. (I have copied all data). However, I dont have CD for restoring Windows. F9 does not work.
Through midnight manager I can see the folder WindowsImageBackup on my D drive (80GB). Can I use this one (how?)

Last night I was using my samsung series 7 laptop but it was freezing up frequently so I after reading around some forums I decided I needed to format my HHD to solve my problems.After using the cd "system recovery media" I turned on my laptop to find only the trash bin in the desktop. I cant connect to wireless internet and I cant configure cable internet altough the icon still appears. Also my usb drives dont work either.
