View 9 RepliesI have Unallocated space at the very end of my hard drive, even after the 25gb Recovery Partition, this is due to copying my old hard drive onto this new one via Clonezilla, and it automatically keeping the unallocated space at the end. Can I either move the unallocated space around the Recovery Partition, or delete the Recovery Partition altogether? Sorry if I am being a little unclear.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've gotten to the point where I need to just reinstall windows completely on my Asus G74SX (too many problems, I want to start fresh.). I encounter an error 1029 with Asus's recovery disks that I made when I had windows working: it says it is recovering all the way to 100% then doesnt work. I am in the process of trying it again so I'll see if it actually managed to wipe my hard drive like it said it was doing, and maybe if it did actually work and reinstall windows.However, I'd like to be able to get into the recovery partition because I would prefer restoring it with Asus as they recommend me to. However, when I hit F9, their target to get there, it doesn't do anything and just reloads the boot screen, with the Asus logo on it. I don't have an actual Wndows recovery CD so that's not an option, and at this point since my hard drive has likely been wiped by these recovery DVDs, I don't think going into Ubuntu and fixing the MBR will do me much good anymore.It may be worth noting that before I last restarted, I marked the Windows partition as active because of a tutorial here, making it so that recovery partition isn't active anymore.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIt seems to me that XP's recovery console is somewhat better than the one that comes with Vista or 7, unless someone can point me in the right direction for finding further documentation on this topic.
The main difference is the lack of ability to tinker with services (LISTSVC / ENABLE / DISABLE commands). A missed opportunity is the lack of registry tweaking, considering that REGEDIT can be run, but I think it only allows you to look at the registry for the recovery console rather than the main Windows installation, which doesn't help much (though I haven't tried to import/mount the registry file from the main Windows installation).
I have looked at some of the other posts, but I didn't find answers to my specific questions. I have an older pc with Win 7. I bought new hd to have dual boot XP/Windows 7, and I made the mistake of installing XP without first unplugging Win 7 hd. Now, of course my Win 7 MBR was over written by XP during installation. I was thinking of using "EasyBCD" utility to recover Windows 7 MBR, instead of manually at the dos/cmd promt. My question is, after Windows 7 MBR is recovered, will I be able to boot from either XP hd as well as Windows 7 hd? Do I have to make any changes to the BIOS? The answer to this next question may be obvious, but just want to be sure. Do I disconnect XP hd during recovery, or leave it connected? Do I have to do anything to the XP hd MBR, or is that over written during the recovery process, (that is, assuming it is to be left connected)? Reinstalling Windows 7 is not an option at the moment, since I have a lot of software that would need to be reinstalled. Finally, would it make a difference if Windows 7 was 64bit OS, or is the process the same as recovering Windows 7 32bit MBR. Don't remember if Windows 7 is 32 or 64bit. Sorry about the barrage of questions. Just trying to cover all the bases.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two identical Acer Aspire One (722) netbooks each running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit).The OS came pre-installed on the netbooks with no Windows 7 disks. There is a Windows 7 product key number on the underside of each computer.One of the netbooks experienced a HDD crash that I have been unable to recover from. I am not able to boot. I tried several different repair utilities and recovery disks. I am able to see all the files and folders when I view the drive using a SATA to USB adapter cable on another PC.
I am going to install a new SSD to replace the failed HDD.I created an image of the HDD from the other identical working netbook.(I failed to create an image or back-up of the HDD that failed - my bad.)I want to install this image onto the new SSD that will then go into the netbook that has the bad HDD.I assume at this point I need to do something with the activation licenses or product keys,because I don't want to do anything illegal.I also don't want to have to buy a new copy of Windows 7, since I feel I already had bought two working copies as part of the two netbook purchases.
So my question is, do I then have to reenter or change the product key from the newly installed (restored) image file from the working netbook and use the product key that was originally associated with the netbook that had the failed HDD? How do I do this? Will this plan work? I want to end up with two working netbooks each with their own legal and activated version of Windows 7 with the two product keys that I have, just as I had before I suffered the HDD failure.I realize I could have avoided all this if I had created an image and back-up of the HDD that actually failed.
