Dell Inspiron N5110 :: Restore Windows 7 From Recovery Partition

Feb 3, 2013

I bought a Dell Inspiron N5110 last year. I created two more partitions on my hard drive. Now I want to restore my windows to factory settings, but I cannot go through the restore process.

I am quite sure that the restore partition is physically on the hard drive, but maybe because of creating new partition it cannot find the drive, or the restore program looks to wrong partition. How can I recover with the current conditions.

Dell XPS 15 :: Cannot Restore From Recovery Partition

Aug 10, 2011

I recently bought the XPS 15 and decided to reformat the drive with a clean win7 64bit install using the drivers CD to assist leaving the Dell recovery partition in place

I may now be selling, so attempted a Dell factory restore from the Dell restore partition using F8 on reboot

Following the manual, I hit F8 but cannot see anything relating to the Dell recovery options only win7 recovery options

I did upgrade to the latest bios from the Dell XPS 15 drivers site but surely they wouldnt have removed this options

I have no recovery CD/DVDs either. Why I cant see the F8 recovery options and whats the best option to factory restore?

Dell Inspiron 15R :: Can't Boot To Windows - No Recovery Partition Option?

Mar 3, 2013

I have an Inspiron 15R Model 5010-3228 

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: windowssystem32configsystem

I was able to run diags from F12 at startup - everything seemed to pass but it ended with a message indicating there was no recovery partition.

I have no original media to reinstall.

The laptop was a gift from my father-in-law in Poland. As a result Dell would not provide service. Warranty is now expired.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Can't Restore Y500 - Recovery Partition Missing

Mar 5, 2014

I had two of the same Windows 8.1 OS on my Y500 (Cloned from original to SSD). Then Last night I tried to 'refresh without affecting your files' option for my OS on the HDD so I have a fresh OS to go back to incase anything happend. then on the Lenovo screen it said that the E: drive was being refreshed as well so I freaked and turned off the computer. NOw I cant access either of the OS's. What should I do? I did do a back up right before and the back up files are still there in a partition I made in the HDD. I used a USB boot of Puppy LInux to see the files on my HDD but it would not let me transfer it to an External Hard Drive. I will Try to install a better linux and try to transfer the OKR files to another Drive.
 
-how would I go about restoring the back up files if I were to get them on another drive?

Dell :: Restoring From Restore Partition Without Ctrl+f11 Nor Restore Disks

Mar 9, 2008

Just to state first and foremost, this is not an issue I have. This is a preventative post for anyone that may ask down the line. (as I've seen it asked on multiple other forums.)

I had this issue with an inspiron 1720 I just got. It had an issue, so I installed vista from a Vista RTM disk. It didn't fix the problem in the end, so I sent it into dell and got fixed, but I wanted to a fresh restore from the restore partition because on restarts, I'd get the blue screen of Death. Fun stuff right?

Well, Unknowingly, when I installed vista off of the cd, that removed the ctrl+F11 option from the dell. This is stated on many forums, and it seems that most answers to this issue is to format and install a fresh install from cd again, or call dell and get recovery disks. I figured "Heck, If I still have the restore partition, there is not reason why I can't get it to restore with some effort."

Some other people I've seen have just had viral attacks, or just want to sell their laptop and need a fresh install. This is for those people that need it. The answer to the question of what if Control and F11 don't work.

So, Here I am with the fix. There is one required bit of software that's required, and that is simply a dos boot cd. You can find many iso's for dos on the net. All you have to do is burn a copy and boot from it. [EDIT] IMPORTANT: I was wrong about dos. As stated below ( http://www.notebookforums.com/post3049150.html ) you have to do it from a 32 bit environment. You can get through one in the XP repair console (on the install cd) or through one of the options in vista's setup.[/EDIT]

Ok, so this is going to be dumbed down a bit, and I'll explain what the dos commands do. First off, after booting into dos, you need to change to the restore partition. This isn't hard at all, all you do is type "D:" and press enter. After this, you need to find the restore file. This is a file with the extension of *.wim. This is an image of windows from dell factory.

Generally this file is found in d:dellimage and is called Factory.wim. Just to double check, I'm going to tell you to change the directory. Type in "cd dellimage" and press enter. In dos, CD means Change Directory (or enter a folder). Now, to list all of the files in the directory type in "dir" and press enter...............

Lenovo Yoga 13 Flex :: Restore To Factory Defaults - Lost The Restore Partition

Sep 4, 2014

I lost the restore partition on the original SSD that my Yoga 13 shipped with.  Is there a collection of drivers and whatnot that would allow me to restore it to factory defaults on my own with a fresh windows installation?  I have the win8 key from the BIOS but don't want to lose out on all the required drivers if I were to just reinstall windows myself.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T430s / Clean Windows 8 Install To SSD Or MSATA Using Restore Partition On HDD

Nov 20, 2012

best way to install a *clean* version of Windows 8 to their Thinkpad that came with Windows 8?
 
I ordered a T430s with low specs and Windows 8 and I dropped in an 8GB DIMM and mSATA drive.  However, the Lenovo implementation of Windows 8 is maddeningly difficult to create backup media (you can't) and the Lenovo "restore" from the HDD partition won't allow you to restore to another drive.  Plus, that kinda defeats my original purpose of a clean install without any bloatware onto a fast, user-installed mSATA or SSD.
 
I have Windows upgrade media I purchased for my desktop, but that install program says the installation won't work with the Lenovo Product Key specific to my Thinkpad T430s (I'm guessing it's an OEM product key while the install media is an upgrade looking for a previously installed Windows 7?)

Dell Inspiron N5110 :: Error Recovery - Won't Start

Apr 28, 2013

I have a Dell Inspiron N5110. It ended up crashing on me about a week ago. I chose to restore the whole
Computer. The computer ended up being stuck in restore mode. I let it be for three days--Too scared to shut it off. Finally I did. I ended up going and doing another restore. It worked. I started up my computer, set up the Internet and all that, then boom. It didn't want to start. It would restart itself every two seconds. I couldn't get past it shutting down on me. Then the last two days, it will start, and go to the "error recovery" page. I can select both options and both will
Trigger it to restart again and open up the same page.

Dell Inspiron 15R-N5110 :: Interchangeability Of Recovery Discs Within Same Model Family

Jan 3, 2015

I've got two mid-2011 Inspiron 15R-N5110. One has an Intel i3 and integrated graphics while the other has an Intel i7 with discrete graphics. I had the i7 first and got it without a hard drive. I installed Windows 7 from a Digital River ISO and all is well. I then purchased the one with the i3. It had its original hard drive and I made recovery media using the DataSafe Local Backup utility. Since both laptops are very closely related, is it possible to use the recovery media created from the i3's hard drive to restore the one with the i7? If successful, will this recreate a recovery partition on the target hard drive.

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: How To Boot From Recovery Partition On Cloned Drive With Vista

Dec 8, 2014

My uncle has a Dell Inspiron 1545 with 3Gb RAM, 160 Gb HD and Windows Vista Home Premium. On boot up there is an error message stating that a back up should be performed immediately as the hard drive has a serious problem.

The good news is that I managed to make a clone of the 160 Gb HD to a 1000 Gb HD (Western Digital Blue) using Paragon software before the original drive failed. The bad news is that the cloning process stopped at 42%, but this 42% included the recovery partition and another part of the HD called Dell Utility.

I installed the cloned WD drive and pressed F8 on boot up, but the advanced boot menu did not appear. Instead I get the error message 'no bootable devices'.

I ran the diagnostics program using F5. All the tests were completed and 'passed'. The BIOS recognizes the new drive as 1000 Gb.

Question: how do I boot the laptop? My uncle does not have any recovery media.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T430s - Windows 8 And Recovery Partition

Dec 12, 2012

I have new T430s with Windows 8 on it (preinstalled by Lenovo). Everything is fine except they cut a huge chunk of my expensive SSD hard drive for so called "recovery partition". So now I have 2 tasks to accomplish:
 
1. Create recovery media on DVDs;
2. Remove that recovery partition from my HD and attach the space to main partition.
 
On Windows 7 I would use "Rescue and Recovery 4.5" tool from Lenovo to do that. But it looks like the tool is not available for Windows 8. When (if) it will be available? Or any other way to accomplish the above tasks?

Lenovo E135 11e E/Edge :: Forget To Create Recovery Stick / Is It Possible To Restore Windows 8?

Sep 4, 2013

I recently got an E135 that came with Windows 8 preloaded. I really didnt like the new interface so I installed Windows 7 on it. Unfortunatly I forgot to create a recovery stick using this method. Now I'd like to reset it back to Windows 8 but I have no means of forcing the computer to acces the recovery partition.
 
Method's I've tried: F11 during startup gives me the option to recover Windows 7 from a USB stick. Which is weird because the original OS was Windows 8Rescue and Recovery  and OneKey both give me the option to back-up but not to restore from the hidden partition.

Info: Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E135 335972G..Disk Managment shows one HDD divided into: 2x recovery partition, 1x EFI system partition and normal parition.
