Solve : Recovery for Windows XP? |
|
Answer» When you back-up all your files and then you want to delete everything and restore the DRIVES back though, how do you do a recovery?Do you have a system restore CD or a real WIndows CD or what? What computer make and model is this? Quote Do you have a system restore CD or a real WIndows CD or what? What computer make and model is this? I have a Windows XP recovery CD that solely recovers free software on the computer or does it secretly have an extra function?How is the disk labeled? Again, what is the computer make/model? If it is a restore cD, usually you just put it in the drive and restart the machine, but it depends on exactly what you have there. Quote How is the disk labeled? Again, what is the computer make/model? I have a Sony Vaio So what happens when you put it in and restart the computer?Sorry to REPLY so late, I was on vacation. I thought I wouldv'e got the Recovery before June 22ND but apparently not. I inserted the Recovery DVD and Setup defaults for BIOS , then when it comes to the Sony Vaio Recovery Utility, it was going to carry out but before that a blue screen w/ the error message entitled: "Vaio Recovery Wizard" states :" Cannot Determine Partition Settings. This utility exits and your computer is restarted." What does that mean and how can I fix it???Have the drive partitions been tampered with from the factory settings? Is this the recovery CD for that particular machine or another? Some recovery CD's require a hidden recovery partition on the hard drive to be intact for a successful reinstall. If physically everything is the same as when you got it, contact Sony for specific problem solving. This illustrates (again) why a real Windows CD is more IMPORTANT than ANY recovery CD you can imagine! |
