I have an Eee PC 1005HAB whose hard disk has failed. I have no recovery CD/DVD, but I did previously back up the contents of the recovery partition, and would like to use them to create a bootable USB to reinstall the factory settings on the new hard drive. Motocross spiele download chip online. Since I simply copied all the files in the recovery partition, rather than hitting F9 during boot and running through the process to create a recovery disk or drive, how do I now use the files to create a bootable USB drive that will do the recovery? In the BIOS I have disabled boot booster and set external drives to the top of the boot priority, but simply copying all the recovery partion files to a usb doesn't allow it to be booted from.
I've downloaded the HP utility for creating bootable USB drives and have tried using it to make the USB drive bootable, but I'm not sure what to do with the ghost image and utilities from the recovery partition to get the process to start properly. Thanks in advance for any help. My sister's eee pc 1001px hard drive became corrupted and would no longer boot.
Her options were to lose all of her files, send it away to asus for a HD replacement which could take some time. I took the HD out, used GetDataBack for NTFS and was able to recover her files and the factory recovery image. Then I was left with the same issue you were confronted with: How to get the recovery image on to the new HD. Your instructions were my savior however I dont own a USB cd-rom drive so I had to figure out how to boot from USB. Found great instructions here and was able to boot from the usb drive with the image files in a separate folder.
I then ran the ghost32.exe and was able to boot into xp. OK, figured this out after a lot of frustration.
The recovery partition basically includes the files for a WinPE bootdisk, the executable file for Norton Ghost 11, and the Ghost disk images themselves. With this in mind, I tried to run the Ghost32.exe file on another Windows XP computer, thinking I could restore the image to the new netbook drive plugged in externally to a SATA-to-USB converter, but Ghost wouldn't open due to a conflict with the version of advapi.dll in XP SP3. Unfortunately, I didn't have any Pre-SP3 computers around and didn't care to downgrade any. I also couldn't turn the WinPE files from the recovery partition into a bootable environment on a USB or CD/DVD for the life of me, but I was able to download to make a bootable environment from a Windows 2003 install disk - all of our XP computers are OEM, which doesn't seem to work with Bart's. The first PE disk I made with Bart's would boot OK from a USB CD-ROM drive plugged into the Eee-PC, but couldn't find the new hard drive.
Neither diskpart nor dskchk from the Bart's menu would locate the new drive. To fix this, I downloaded the SATA Drivers for the Eee-PC 1005HAB, and unzipped and placed the entire folder (called 'AHCI') in the pebuilder disk drivers directory (c: pebuilder3110a drivers SCSIAdapter), where it was automatically included in the next build. I also placed the ghost.exe in its own folder whose path I entered in the 'Custom' area of the pebuilder GUI, so I could include the ghost program on the disk. I built the ISO and burned it to a CD, booted the Eee-PC from the external USB CD drive, and the BartPE environment now found the disk and let me create a primary partition on it with diskpart. Next, I opened the A43 file explorer from the Bart's menu and located the ghost32.exe file on the CD and ran it. Ghost opened fine, and I chose to restore 'Disk' 'From Image', and browsed to a USB thumbdrive to which I had previously copied the Ghost images form the recovery partition ('1005HAENGWinXP02.01.06.GHO' and '1005HAENGWinXP02.01.06.001'). I selected the.GHO file, accepted the partitions and sizes Ghost said it would create on the drive and started the recovery.
After about 10-15 minutes, it completed, I rebooted the netbook and unplugged the external drives, and it booted into a new XP installation. Since I replaced the failed drive with a larger one, I merged the space left over with the 'D' drive. Hope this helps someone else.
Dear Members, I have an ASUS EEE PC 1015PEM netbook running windows 7 starter which I would like to factory restore as I want it to be like a new machine for somebody else. I also installed Ubuntu on my machine. On contacting ASUS Support, I was given the following steps: 1. Shutdown completely (via start menu) & connect mains power.

Power on and immediately tap repeatedly on F9 as the machine boots 3. Select 'Windows Setup EMS Enabled' 4. Choose language & agree to ASUS products only prompt.
Select 'Recover Windows to first partition only' option 6. Confirm further boxes until you see 'Applying Progress'. Please leave computer alone for up to 2 hours to complete and please do not interupt process under any circumstance. Apply and all Windows Updates and Asus Updates. Unfortunately, from step 2 onwards, this does not work in my favour. On contacting ASUS again, I was told this was because I have Ubuntu installed, which has deleted my recovery partition and there was nothing that can be done now.
Is there any advise you can give at all? Any other way I can factory restore with my current situation? Thanks in advance.
I have had to replace the hard drive on a computer that someone gave me after it died. Am I in the same boat as the user who ran Ubuntu? The computer is asking for the password for HomeGroupUser$ or the first name of the guy who gave me the computer. I have sent him a text asking him for his password, but even with that, there is still very little chance that the replacement drive has the correct recovery partition installed, so how do I get this going. I get the same messages even if I try to install a fresh copy of Windows 10 from scratch, which I downloaded when upgrading this laptop, which had Windows 7.1 upgradable to Windows 10 when I purchased it. So if I did have a retail copy of Windows 7,1, how would I go about installing it? If you told the Ubuntu installer to delete all partitions on the hard disk, it did so and you can't recover it.

But there's a change you did something else and it only did overwrite the boot sector and left the partition intact. In that case, you might be able to use GPARTED (no doubt as a Linux user you know how to use that, I think it's installed in Ubuntu, it is in Mint anyway) to set that partition to bootable and/or maybe set GRUB to boot from it (you certainly you know all about Grub also). See the last post in for an example where it worked. But you're on your own here, Asus won't help you.
