Greetings,


As you can see from the figure, recovery partition can be seen in the Disk Management but it can't be accessed. unless you give or assign a lettter to that partition using Diskpart and run as an admin. you have to clone the original hard drive from your Laptop to have a recovery menu. you can create your own recovery.

I guess your gonna reinstall Windows, is it showed up as unallocated space ?

I've it is, format it to NTFS, and your done.
You can now use this partition.

Hello, If your system is capable of doing a Recovery via Hidden Partition on Hard Drive, you can access it by Pressing Alt + F10 and choose Recovery Option.

Hi Michael,
Its possible to reformat your hard drive by using a DOS boot floppy disk or CD. You can create this disk on another pc then boot your pc from this disk. It will boot your pc to a DOS prompt, usually "C:>" from there you can create partitions, delete partitions and format the hard drive. The command for creating partitions is FDISK.exe. Make sure your boot disk has the FDISK.exe command on it.
Let me know if you require any further assistance regarding this.
Best wishes,

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, try:

• "Press F2 to Enter System Configuration Utility";
• determine if the hard disk could be detected by the CMOS/BIOS;
• if yes, possibly corrupt partition would need re-partition/re-format and re-installation of Vista;
• if no, possible faulty hard drive and would require replacement.

Pls post back result(s). Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.
