| 1219583 | 2011-07-27 23:54:00 | Im fixing a family members pc that they bought from playtech a while ago and I noticed that there is a recovery partition on the hard drive, is there any way I can use that to fix the pc? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1219584 | 2011-07-28 00:31:00 | depends what's on it. Ask playtech what key you push to boot from it. Is it bootable or does it just have backup images in it. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1219585 | 2011-07-28 00:32:00 | If there's an ISO on it burn it. Either find the program to burn it in the menu, or if it boots copy the ISO from it then burn it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1219586 | 2011-07-28 00:43:00 | Try pressing the function keys while rebooting, or press F8 and see if there's a recovery choice in that boot menu. Or call Playtech. (http://www.playtech.co.nz/) |

| 1219588 | 2011-07-28 01:34:00 | And you really think Playtech will tell me? No reason why they wouldn't, after all they've provided the recovery partition intending for someone to use it :). |

| 1219589 | 2011-07-28 01:44:00 | Assuming its windows 7 it will more than likely be a .WIM file, NOT an ISO file. (they are different) You will need to know the key combination to start off the recovery, or it could also be in the startup options. |

| 1219590 | 2011-07-28 04:00:00 | Turns out that the pc came with a Playtech Recovery disk, which the family could not find at the time. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
