8.1 USB on new SSD recovery using keeps failing

So I looked and read a lot on this subject, and I can always find something that solves my problem. I ordered a

Quad TouchSmart HP ENVY 15t

Product number: 902143_1_E2E33AV

That came with a mechanical HARD disk of 1 TB. I have an SSD from the desktop that replaces this laptop and I wanted to use it instead, for performance gain. I also have my own personal copy of Windows 8 Pro of this desktop build. So I removed the 1 TB HARD drive and replaced by the SSD. Next I went to get Windows 8 pro installed and updated, but there was only one device in the device manager that I was never able to install correctly. So I decided to buy the USB recovery thinking everything will go more smoothly, because it must contain all the necessary drivers. However, I get the same failure notice I've seen here every time.

I reset the default bios, I tried to change the date to 2012 (don't know if it's still always topical) I've reformatted the drive with my installation of windows 8, then tried the recovery. This means the same fact. Am I a bad USB, or is there something that I am missing? I really want to use my SSD for my main drive. Thank you

Hello:

Most of the time, the factory recovery media does not work on a hard drive that is smaller than the one provided with your PC.

Somewhere along the installation procedure, the la recuperation recovery of disks/USB checks the size of the hard drive and if it is less than probably the smallest mechanical hard drive available in your model, it error.

Usually, it produces a specific "hard drive is smaller than the original drive", or words to that effect, but not always.

If your laptop comes with W8.1, the only way you will be able to install it is to use an OEM of W8.1 x 64 installation DVD.

I don't know where you can get a W8.1 x 64 OEM ISO free online download file.

I don't have one for W8 x 64, but it works with a W8 product key, not a W8.1 product key.

What device could not get to work on W8?

You can probably use the driver of a comparable HP professional notebook that has the same hardware.

  • Recovery system keeps failing (5th time trying)

    Hi, I decided to restore my laptop because he had a lot of junk on it, and there were also a few errors while I tried to download other software such as iTunes or the installation of my printer. I can't restore my laptop, however. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L300 series 64 x Vista and every time I insert my restore disk in my laptop and hold the C button, a screen appears saying which option I would choose after. I chose the option "Restore to unpacking", and it does not work. He makes me wait 40 minutes and then gives me an error: Error 10-FA12-045D. So I tried again and this time, I clicked on wipe hard drive. This does not work too, and he told me it was done course of recovery. Then he tells me to click 'OK' to restart the computer. I click OK, and then it loads to a page that says start Windows in safe mode, corrections out of fashion, etc. I click on safe mode, it loads after 15 minutes, and then there is a message saying that Windows cannot install something on safe mode. So I restart the laptop again, wait still 15 minutes and then run my laptop normally. Now Windows downloads a "sysprep" device, but then it fails to download and gives me an error.

  • MacBook pro 2009 with new SSD try to clean install Yosemite or TM disaster restoration.

    Hello.

    I think this is going to be a difficult discussion.

    Unibody MacBook Pro 2009. Original Apple HDD with Yosemite 10.10.5.

    Two months ago, that my HARD disk is dead.

    I installed a new SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive and through the recovery of TM all went well.

    A couple of weeks, my 'new' SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HDD started to scratch a little (I mean literally zero while reading/writing), so I thought he would die soon again. This time, I decided to buy an SSD in order to have better performance and superior durability.

    So I bought a Toshiba 248 Gb SSD. I'm not a big fan of Toshiba, but where I live, it's the SSD only I found in the store.

    I removed the old HDD, I installed the new SSD and where my nightmare starts.

    First of all, I tried with a new Installation of USB from Yosemite. I followed all the passages and the installation completed in about 9 days. Yes you read that right: 9 days. The progress bar runs for 9 DAYS.

    At the beginning I obviously interrupted the first couple of facilities when the progress bar was like "12 minutes at the end" for three or four hours, but then I read in many articles and support threads that it is quite usual installation seeks stuck for hours or days, but if you open the log console computer is always something. So I gave him his time and the third or the fourth installation I waited my NINE DAYS to be finished.

    Then when the installation ended the restarted mac of himself and is stuck at the loading screen with his beautiful Apple and the progress bar frozen at about 50%.

    I froze for about 4 or 5 hours of average.

    I found a few articles that sometimes happens, and all you have to do is to force the computer to shut down and start again. So I tried to force the shutdown by holding down the power button and after the reboot it just keeps starting with and stuck at first infinite progress bar.

    So I reboot on CMD + R to get a clue, if I got in trouble on the SSD or what. I run disk utility and found that on my SSD were about 290,000 files and many files as the Yosemite was finally installed. I tried to check the permissions, but it says less than a minute and then got stuck at halfway to complete 15 minutes, so I stopped it.

    After that I think 4 or 5 attempts to start new fresh install on my Yosemite and clean, I reset the SSD erase decided to start all over again.

    I died a little inside while doing it. Same as the erasure was so f * king quick to finish! (about 50 seconds, sonofa 'byte').

    Then I tried to not reinstall Yosemite again (the nightmare of 9 DAYS still has me) but I have tried a new way: recovery of TM.

    Just to say my original TM backup was about 340 GB and my new SSD is 248 only while it was quite clear he wasn't.

    I connect my external TM drive to another computer and I worked the ' delete all backups of * file * ' to get a smaller backup TM.

    Now, I moved a lot of things outside the TM backup and the new dimension of the TM backup is about 90 GB (I want to say that the whole folder backups.backup is about 90 GB), in fact I moved the other stuff was also inside the external Western Digital drive and is now free space Go 910 (, hence the content of the WD is just the TM backup folder this weight about 90 GB), but I still have the 'this drive doesn't have enough space to restore your system.', it's totally A LIE.

    Never mind. I accepted the idea that sometimes even computers are ashamed of themselves and begin to tell lies. I can handle. There was a holy man in the history without any sin. So, ok, no problem. I'm not upset or anything. I can get over it (mf you little liar!).

    Think of manually restore the files that I needed once I have a BONE in my new SSD, I used the same external disk to create a new backup from another computer, my Mac Mini TM. Everything went well and I got a new Mac Mini TM backup about 60 GB (it's much less than 248 GB of my new SSD).

    I reboot the Macbook again to try to restore the backup, Time Machine of Mac Mini and everything seems to work, except for:

    -progress initially said about 650 hours needed to complete the restoration ago.

    -I went to sleep and let the machine itself working together on the restoration and when I woke up this morning I found that the rest of the time was "fair" 52 hours.

    -J' was a little happy to see this, until the Rainbow rolling ball appears. Everything got stuck again. I force shutdown and then try to restore it.

    Now it works again and the remaining time is close hours 672 (and growing). I'll give it another chance. We'll see.

    Now, I have four questions to ask you:

    1. you have an idea (with the exception of a curse or a matter of black magic) WHY all this happened? And of course if there is something wrong and I can work to fix it otherwise?

    2 are there special settings to enable/disable/configuration/whatever to create works faster still to understand that it doesn't properly before discovering this NINE DAYS or 672 HOURS right now?

    3. when we agreed that something like that was acceptable? I used to be a project leader in the world of ICT and in 20 years I NEVER, I say NEVER, released a product/app/site Internet/solution that considers that an option taken 9 DAYS to install or something like that. NEVER. Do not forget that we are talking about Apple and an operating system. I think Windows is laughingly taking revenge.

    4. do you think that for me it is time to let Apple and go back WIN + PC? It's quite frustrating and I use the computer to WORK, not to play games video and this is not the kind of operativity expect after paying a little more for material, a little more for software, a little more to be part of what it is supposed to be the one that had the best choice (index not be not it kills me).

    I thank in advance for any help/tip, you can provide.

    Alberto

    This is a fairly long post. What I would say is:

    1. the next time get a hard drive from a company with a good reputation like Samsung (best SSD ever, I have several internal parts and a laptop EVO). I get them shipped.

    2. as you use the Mini, the recovery partition allows you to install a new copy of Mac OS X, and then use the Migration Wizard to move your stuff.

    Unfortunately, your link does not work, but as far as I know, this kind of info is not available to the specifications of the laptop. In my opinion, it is not important. It is important that you can upgrade this laptop with very fast SSD. I ve done on my old Satellite P500 and it runs very fast. I m really happy now.

  • using recovery on new SSD disks

    Hello!

    I just bought a new SSD, Corsair 120 GB and I want to use it as a system for my HP DV7-7259nr want to drive. How can I use the Windows 8 recovery disks to do? Or... simply... How do I make this change?

    Any advice is welcome!

    Thank you

    Hello Costin.

    What disc it has not on?

    I think this may have failed because of an Intel driver.  For some reason, one of the pilots ("" Description: USB - IF USB Host Controller xHCI ' ") was an integrated 01/01/2013 expiration date.  This caused a lot of customers unable to perform the recovery.  The work around this problem is to go into your BIOS and change the year of 2012 and save the changes.  This should allow you to install Windows, and once installation is complete, you can change the clock to the correct time.

    Let me know if it helps.  Have a most excellent day!

  • Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

    Hello

    I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.

    I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

    Thanks for any help.

    The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

    Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

    Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

    It makes you, thank you.

  • Permutation of HARD, SSD, disc using HP recovery for new laptop support

    Hi, I'm trying swap at the disk of 500 GB of a whole new HP ENVY TouchSmart Ultrabook 4 t-1100 to a 120 GB SSD.

    Day 1 to have the laptop, I went through the creative process of recovery on a USB media.

    The problem is, I can't use it.  The new SSD seems to be recognized very well.  The recovery process makes it far enough - at least far enough to restart several times with screens of Windows 8.

    But this ultimatly is not finished and working.  I talked with a tech support on this issue, and told him that I could not do this because the SSD, I was trying to 'restore' to was smaller than my drive of the moose.  His advice was for me to buy a retail business / version of generator in the system of the operating system to be able to "install it" myself.

    Is this good?  Is there a better way to do it other than to buy a second copy of an OS that I have rights to use on this computer?

    I love the material, but I feel quite frustrated with the software...

    I think it would be better if spend you the same amount of $$ and get the software OEM W8.

    You first need to confirm which version of W8, you have on your PC, and you can do it only with the original hard drive installed.  As I posted above, you will need to install the OEM version of the software that corresponds to the product key encoded.

    Software OEM 64 bit standard is $ 99.00

    Bit Pro OEM 84 software is $139.99

    I'm almost certain that you will run in rough seas, trying to upgrade to W8 Pro using any type of installation media.

    Look at your current operating system... is there an option to make that "Anytime upgrade" as you can with W7?

    I think it's the only way you can get W8 Pro on the machine.

    I sympathize with you, but that's all I can do.

    It seems that new PC is really "locked" until you can do about the operating system.

  • How to change the Satellite L670D-103 using new SSD 80 GB HARD drive?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L670D-103 with a 320 GB HARD drive running at 5400 RPM which is too slow for me.

    So I plan to change this factory by a new SSD HDD to increase the performance of the overall system :)

    But as the SSD are expensive, I have only a 80 GB SSD.

    I built the recovery on a USB media and I want to use it to restore my system to the new SSD (I previously did the space needed to ensure that all data can be stored on my new SSD 80 GB space; p)

    Retrieving SSD partitioning new procedure is done without error, but when copying image to restore data to freshly created the partition, one not enough space error stop the process!

    It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb).

    So, how can I restore mysystem on my new SSD?

    Thank you
    Stéphane.

    > It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb)

    To my knowledge, you have different recovery options:

    (* 1) * recovery of factory default software

    (a) recovery to out of box state
    (b) recovery without changing the HARD drive partitions
    (c) recovery of a custom size partition

    (* 2) * "erase the HARD drive.

    I think that if you choose factory default software recovery of-> recovery to out of box state then the recovery would create exactly the same size of partition on the new SSD which were available on the 320 GB HARD drive.
    I think this might be the reason why you have received this message.

    Perhaps you need to choose the 3rd option Recovery on a custom size partition

    What do you think?

  • Install Win8 on new HARD drive using disks of recovery on HP Envy M6

    Okay, so I have my hard drive crashed a few months. So, I ordered a set of HP recovery disks. I finally get around to retrieve Win8 on the new HARD drive. However, I follow these instructions and it does NOT work. I get to the Boot Manager and nothing is there - at all. So, I went back to the BIOS and disabled secure boot (just in case). Yet, nothing. After several hours, I dropped...

    Flash forward to today. I have enabled the legacy starts, moved DVD player y up in my order of start and stuck in a Win7 disc, I have here. One immediately recognizes the disc.

    I finally decided to try to install recovery using USB thought which may help. So, I had on my desktop and tried to rip an .iso of the disks. Both PowerISO and IMGBurn rise "IO error" partially through the period of inquiry.

    I'm starting think that the discs are bad... That would not explain why can't I see my optical drive in the Boot Manager however.

    Thoughts?

    It was records. I downloaded a copy of Win8 and it began immediately.

  • Satellite L855-149 - migration Windows 8 to new SSD, including recovery partitions

    Hello

    I just bought a new (840 EVO 250 GB) SSD for my L855-149 and I would like to reinstall windows 8 on this new SSD. In addition, I would like to migrate all the recovery partitions that are present on the HARD disk plant.

    What is the best way to do it?
    Is there a tool to Toshiba for that? I don't have the installation for Windows 8 diskettes.

    Please notify.

    Hello

    On Toshiba laptops, you can always find a preinstalled tool called creator Toshiba average recovery.
    This tool creates the recovery (disk or flash USB stick) media
    With the help of this recovery media, you will be able to put the laptop to factory condition, including all partitions that were available the first day of the purchase.

  • G62 - 219CA: possibility to backup/clone recovery Partition just before installing the new SSD?

    Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    It is not really possible to save or to clone the recovery partition. Your best option is to create the support of HP recovery using the Recovery Manager or to order HP media to DVD - Windows 7 64B doublespeak (Office 2010) + Supp 1 Recovery Kit.

  • Clean install of windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade, I have windows xp x 32 on a disk hard available, which I no longer use, can I do this?

    I want to clean install windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade.

    I have windows xp x 32 on an existing hard drive which I no longer use, I can do this, that I can start the upgrade process, and then point the installation on the new SSD?
    I really don't want to install XP on the new SSD and am not bothered about keeping programs or settings

    How to do a clean install:

    Step 1: Use the upgrade wizard to describe the PC and pay the $40 (US)

    Step 2: When the 'Install Windows 8' message appears, select 'Install by creating media' to create a bootable USB key or .iso (a disk image) file.

    Step 3: Wait for the Wizard download Windows 8 Pro installation package and create the bootable media or .iso file. The flash player must be having 3 GB or more of free space available.

    Step 4: Burn the .iso file, if that's the path you have chosen, to a blank DVD.

    Step 5: Use this key USB or DVD to boot the PC.

    Step 6: When you get to the screen in the Setup program that asks, "which type of installation you want?" choose "custom".

    Step 7: Select a drive for the operating system partition in the next screen. At this point, you can create a new partition if there is enough space available or reformat the hard disk.

    Step 8: Proceed with the installation of Windows 8 Pro.

    You should probably do a phone activation after installation is complete.

    1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

    2. then press the ENTER"" key.

    3. Select your "country" in the list.

    4. choose the option "activate phone".

    5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

    6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  • New SSDS do not mount on MBP 2012 Recovery Mode

    I replace the HD on a 2012 model 9.2 MBP with an OWC 6 G SSD. I ran a backup Time Machine on the HD 500 G original and then swapped the drive. I can't get the new SSD to appear in Recovery Mode to format it and install OS X I have tried with the original disc connected in an external box, even with the Time Machine backup drive and I tried with no externally attached at all. (Continued on the upgrade command instructions on the site of OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/articles/how-to-transfer-your-data-from-your-old-drive - to-a-new-reader) Then, I removed the SSD of MBP and attached to my Mac Mini in an external enclosure. It mounted fine and I was able to format. So I ruled out a faulty SSD. Then I restarted the MBP with original HD installed and the SSD connected via external enclosure. Run utility disc and formatted the SSD drive. Close all again and replace the SSD in the MBP. Started in Recovery Mode to install OS X and the drive does not appear.

    Currently of ideas. I rechecked all the components and all should be fully compatible.

    Ideas?

    Started in Recovery Mode to install OS X and the drive does not appear.

    You mean the restoration of the Internet (Command + Option + R)? Recovery mode is command + R, and since you do not have an operating system on your new SSD HD Recovery wouldn't be here.
