Say you have two brand new HP laptops of the same model, you start them both up and make Recovery disks on one of them. Can you use those Recovery disks on either computer? Or are the recovery disks exclusive to each computer? Thanks for any help!
Same make and model, yes you can. If they were different, the wrong drivers would get installed and you’d get blue screens and errors.
Hi,
As it says in the question, what is the difference between samsung recovery solution and windows restore? Which one should I use?
Any help is appreciated.
Recovery solition is where you go to create your system recovery cds and where you can restore the computer to its factory store, which would be how it was when it came out of the box.
Windows system restore would be used for going back a couple of days, due to software error. Do not however use it if you are infected, system restore should be turned off until infection has been removed.
Is it possible?Coz I have lost a lot of files when my F drive corrupted and I want to prevent this from happening again.
If yes ,then please suggest some data recovery software.
And is it possible to retrieve the already corrupted F drive when I did not install any data recovery software before it corrupted.
You can try to recover data from reformatted disk with Easy Drive Data Recover software:

It uses unique modern algorithms to recover files that other software either recovers incorrectly or is unable to detect.
When I turn on my computer, it just goes straight to recovery console.
Is there a way to fix this, or do I need a new computer?
Maybe find a Local Mom and Pop service company for best results. Have it diagnosed – usually free
Then decide more $ to be spent or get a new machine
I need to restore my HP computer to its original factory settings. I can’t get past the log in screen so I need to do it from startup. I don’t have the original windows xp installation cd (not sure if it came with one). I can get to the recovery console but how do I use it? Can it even be used with out the installation cd?
Ensure that you have administrative privileges on the machine your are trying to repair. Once you have booted the computer using the start up disk you’ll be asked to log in to your chosen installation using the administrative password.
Locate your Windows XP CD-ROM. If you’re unable to locate it, you’ll need to create a copy of a Windows XP Setup disk by downloading it from Microsoft’s website (see Resources below).
Insert the Windows Setup disk in the CD-ROM drive and reboot the computer. Hold down the key configuration or select the option that allow you to boot from the drive–you should be prompted to to do so–and select "R" for Recovery Console.
Choose an installation to repair if you run a dual-boot system (such as Linux and Windows) and enter the password for that installation.
Work with the default environmental rules in Recovery Console or type "set" to change them. By default the rules are as follows:AllowAllPaths = FALSE: this means you cannot access directories that belong to a different installation than the one on which you are workingAllowRemovableMedia = FALSE: you will not be able to use removable media for copied filesAllowWildCards = FALSE: "delete" and "copy" cannot be used with string characters to work with multiple files via one commandNoCopyPrompt = FALSE: Recovery Console will always prompt you before allowing you to overwrite files
Repair your computer’s system using Recovery Console’s vast list of commands, a list of which can be found on the Microsoft support site (see Resources below). You can also view a list of commands by typing "recovery console commands" on the command line and hitting "Enter." View information about a specific command by typing its name on the command line.
Use some of the most common commands to begin fixing problems. Knowing, for instance, that the BOOTCFG command allows you to configure boot and recovery options is extremely helpful. Likewise, knowing the ATTRIB command allows you to change file parameters and CD and CHDIR helps you to change between folders is a good start to diagnosing problems.
Exit recovery Console once you have fixed the problem. Simply type "exit" on the command line.
I have a large lipoma on my left ribs that has to be removed? Just wondering how long recovery time if any would be? Like would I have to miss work or would I be fine?
You should probably plan on taking a day or two off work.
I’ve had a Advent K200 laptop for about 3 years, and it’s become very slow, so I’ve decided that I would do a full system recovery. But in order to do a full system recovery, I need the recovery disc that came with the laptop, but as it happens to be, I’ve lost it. I was wondering if there’s a solution so I could still recover the laptop to factory condition without the recovery disc.
Thanks.
Just select all the files you want to save, organize them and save them manually….
Simple as that….
Because it did something to safemode and internet explorer, so is it a good idea to system recovery?
Well if you removed the virus already, It sounds as if some settings in the registry is afoul. Do some research on exactly what that virus does to your system in particular then go from there. Do anything you can first before even considering doing a system recovery. Especially if you have a lot of files that are important to you.
There’s so much out there and my husband and I are up to 15 miles and will keep going higher from here. We’re starting to need some post-run recovery stuff. Any suggestions?
wow. i mountain bike a lot and I looove accelerade, it tastes really good for a recovery/during workout drink and seems to help. also stuff like hammer heed is good for recovery but not so great tasting. if you are looking for something more along the lines of during a run, then clif gel shots are pretty good, before too, and easy to use.
I have a inspiration1525 dell laptop.I have some problem in it and then hard disk of my laptop change by dell company.But it’s recovery drive lost.what should i do for it?
can i make a recovery drive or contact company.
On a Dell, like HP, there is a dedicated hidden part of your hard drive that contains an image of your computer’s hard drive contents from the factory. This can be used to quickly restore your system to it’s factory state in minutes, making it great when pressed for time.
Unlike HP however, Dell also gives you full copies of Windows Vista or XP on a CD/DVD, a Drivers CD and provides the disks for any additional software you requested to be installed on your computer, like Microsoft Office, Norton Antivirus, etc.
You should not format or, store additional data on the recovery partition D: Drive
Here are instructions from Dell on how to use it. If for some reason you can not use the recovery partition. You will need the recovery disks. These either came with your computer or, you made them when it was new. Dell allows you to order one set per machine for free.
or
This is how the Recovery drive is used:
