Windows 10: Recovery Disc

I recently received a message on HP lapto that Hard Drive Failure was imminent. I used Microsoft support steps to create a recovery USB drive. I note that it only copied 5 GB of data while my recovery D drive on the computer has almost 15GB. I am wondering if the drive will still work ie bootable and will restore windows and files, and why there is a difference. I am assuming I need a new hard drive and want to make the recovery as easy as possible.

I did manually back up my files to another flash drive. Any other advice?

Thanks!

:)

 

Lenova recovery disc

If you haven't started the recovery yet then you could use the recovery button Lenovo Care Button). Just push it when you first turn on your machine and it will boot into the recovery partiton and restore it back to the original factory state.

If you have actually started the recovery process with the discs you have you are going to have to wait for tech support to open on Monday. All recovery discs are custom for particular machines. In other words, there aren't universal Lenovo 3000 recovery discs that work with all Lenovo 3000's. The recovery discs correspond with your exact machine type.

recovery files save to disc?

Hi,

Yes, you can put it on the CD or DVD. A recovery drive (USB) or system repair disc (CD or DVD) can be used to troubleshoot and restore your computer.

For you to be able to create it, we suggest following the steps below:

• Insert the disc in the drive.
  
• Open Cortana, type in "recdisc" and click it.
  
  
• The disc creator will open, select the disc-burner drive with a writable CD or DVD in it and click the
  Create disc button.
  
  
  
• Once the process is complete, click OK

Don't hesitate to inform us if you have other concerns.
