Aspire 572 R7 recovery of backup - USB key?

Hello

I have to ask for confirmation before I buy the USB to back up my recovery. When I backup Acer it tells me I need an external drive at least 32 GB in order to safeguard memorable.  Here's my question, when we buy these USB drives sold as 32 GB, but doesn't have actually less then this 32 GB of available space, taken into account in the settlement of recovery utility when it ask the 32 GB?  or I have to buy a 64 GB stick just to save recovery?  This seems too and 64 GB stick are not cheap

Thanks for the help of yor

You can use a 32 GB flash drive; recovery takes about 18.6 GB, there is a little left unused.

  • Taken to the backup of the windows operating system 8 in a USB key (as a recovery drive) but...

    Hello

    I recently bought a Lenovo laptop, Y510p, with operating system Windows 8 unique language. The guy in the store who says his best to take backup of the operating system in a recovery USB disk and said it will take at least 22 GB of space. So, I bought a 32 GB usb 3 pen drive and stored the backup in there, but to my surprise, it took only 13 GB of space. Now, can't do anything with the space remaining on the USB key. My doubt is that, after 6 months or a year, is possible to move the backup content immediately of this 32 GB disk in an another USB 16 GB of space and the boot through it?

    Hi Natasha,.

    I understand that you have created a Windows 8 USB recovery disk and you found it took only 13 GB of your USB 32 GB. So, you want to know if you can transfer it to a 16 GB USB key and delete the one that you have created on the 32 GB drive so that you can use the drive for other purposes.

    We are not able to transfer the recovery image that you created on your USB stick 32 GB on an another USB. However, if your PC comes with a recovery on the hard drive partition, you simply copy the image recovery of this partition on your USB drive 16 GB and can use it as a recovery in the future.

    The recovery image is stored on a recovery partition on the hard drive of your computer. Windows 8 built-in tool lets you copy this partition recovery from the PC to the USB key. Please refer to the article below:

    Create a recovery USB disk

    Hope it will be useful.

  • USB keys - problem with the Recovery Manager

    I bought a 16GB Kingston DataTraveler 112 USB key so I could copy the recovery as a backup image. He acknowledged the USB key and showed that the recovery image has been slightly more than 11 GB. But when he started to format the USB key, it returns to the previous screen and asking more of the car. At the bottom of the screen, he said to contact the HP Support, but it gives me an error message. Now when I try the Recovery Manager it does not recognize the USB at all.

    Before that, I had bought another 16 GB USB - don't remember what brand. I have 5 other USB drives, but they are all small, except a 32 GB Kingston DT101 G2 which does not work on this computer, even if it worked on my old computer (Pavilion w/Vista Home Premium) without problem. All these USBs, including the new Kingston are for USB 2.0.

    Operating system is Windows 8.1 64-bit on the desktop HP Pavilion 500 - A60. I tried the problem that USB keys in all 4 ports (2.0 and 3.0). Also in that I plug into a port to give me 3 USB ports, also used on my previous computer.

    Is it possible that this computer does not recognize Kingston or some other brands of USB thumb drives?

    The trick to this is to use a USB 2.0 port and use a non-windows 8 certified thumbdrive. If the USB flash drive shows as a 'removable device' there should be no problem in the use of the media to create a recovery media

    I had a lot of success with a 16 GB Transcend USB 3.0 flash drive.

    I own a couple of DataTraveler flash drives and had the same lack of success, creation of recovery media that you did. I have had zero success with 3.0 of Sandisk Extreme usb flash drives

    I was not able to complete the full implementation of the solution Dell Direct USB key due to various problems.  .    Dell ended up sending me a new Windows 7 HARD disk image.   I have now the laptop up and running again with Windows 7 and have various applications installed.   That's all pretty well.  But now how do I get my data files restored?   Basically, I want to connect the external drive to backup and complete step 19 of the solution, as described below.

    
    Here are the steps OS using the Dell USB key: 
    
    1. Boot from the Direct USB Key by tapping F12 at the Dell logo, then select the
    USB Memory Key option from the boot device menu. 
    
    2. Accept the Dell End User License Agreement (EULA) by clicking the box next to
    Accept, scroll down till the end of the license agreement and then click on
    continue. 
    
    3. On this screen, the usb key gives an overview of the process it is about to
    perform, click continue when ready to proceed. 
    
    4. The Smart Repair solution runs a surface scan on the system to identify any
    errors with the boot record or the startup files. If any errors are found, they
    are automatically corrected. 
    
    5. Once the process completes, there will be an analysis summary, in this case,
    there is no issue found by the smart repair, click continue. 
    
    6. In this window the user can select what data they would like to back up, they
    can either go with the default backup solution or they can click select more to
    select more files for backup, click continue after selecting files for backup. 
    
    7. If user clicks on select more, they will get the screen below, they can go
    ahead and select the necessary data for backup by checking the box next to the
    respective folder, sub-directories are selected by default once the root folder
    is selected. 
    
    8. The user will be prompted to attach a USB hard drive to the system, user
    needs to connect the USB Hard drive at this point and click continue. 
    
    9. Once the solution detects the USB hard drive , it goes ahead with file
    backup. 
    
    10. Once the files are backed up, the solution will back up the user personal
    settings. 
    
    11. The Direct USB Key displays a summary of the data and personal settings
    backup. Click continue. 
    
    12. The Direct USB key then proceeds to install the operating system image on
    the system. 
    
    13. Once the operating system image is transferred, the drivers are also
    transferred. 
    
    14. After the operating system image and driver transfer, a summary page comes
    up giving the user information as to what process was performed successfully and
    what failed. The user needs to remove the USB key at this point and click
    restart. 
    
    15. The system restarts and comes to a flash screen on recovery and restore. 
    
    16. After the flash screen, the applications start installing. 
    
    17. Once the applications are installed, the user would see a summary screen
    informing them that the Operating system has been restored, connect the Direct
    USB Key and click restart. 
    
    18. After the restart the user will be prompted to connect the data backup hard
    drive and then click continue. 
    
    19. The files and personal settings are then restored from the USB backup drive. 
    
    20. After the files are transferred the system comes to the desktop with a pop
    up window informing the user to check the device manager for any exclamation
    marks, the tool also guides the user to download the drivers from the support
    site and the applications from My Dell Downloads and Dell Digital Delivery. User
    needs to select the check box to prevent the message from being displayed again
    and click close.

  • Cannot re - install Windows7 from USB key created with Dell Datasafe Local Backup

    Hello

    I created Dell Datasafe Local Backup recovery media and stored on a USB key.

    However my laptop Dell Inspiron has only USB 3.0 ports so when I try to boot on the USB it tells me: "cannot find the image of system recovery. "If you try to restore your pc from a USB 3.0 (blue) USB Port please connect to another USB Port, restart your PC and try Recovery.

    If my laptop has no former USB 2 ports and, apparently, Windows 7 doesn't come with native support USB 3 so how can I re - install my system using the USB that I made Dell Datasafe Local backup?

    I tried to make a set of Dell Datasafe DVD, but it is not I think that there is a bug in the routine of Datasafe Local Backup DVD recovery media.

    Am I better off Dell asking to send me a re-installation OEM DVD set? How would I do that?

    Thank you.

  • I would like to add a folder of photos on a USB key for time machine backups

    I have a new time capsule, and I am attaching a USB hard drive that previously held some my time machine backups and all my photos. I would now add the photo of backups auto time folder machine on the time capsule. But in time machine preferences I don't see the folder or the USB key. Although I can see the USB in the finder as well as the time capsule window. I can copy and paste the photo time capsule file it's just I wanted to time machine for backup for me. Any help much appreciated.

    The time Capsule is what we call a 'network' of the road, so when the USB is connected to the time Capsule, which would make it a "network" drive as well.

    Unfortunately, Time Machine is unable to back up a 'network' of the time Capsule drive.

    If you want to save the data or the USB disk using Time Machine drive, you will need to connect the drive directly to your Mac and then it will be saved with your Mac... assuming that the drive has been formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Then, the player will become a "local" drive

    If you need to keep the USB connected to the time Capsule, the only way to back up data automatically on a schedule would be to use a commercial program like Carbon Copy Cloner or ChronoSync.

    Hi @Phoenix-1921,.

    Welcome to the HP Forums! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    Thank you for posting. I read your post and I understand that when you create the recovery media, it stopped and gave you the message of the one copy can be made. I wanted to help with that.

    Due to licensing restrictions, you can create one HP a computer recovery solution. This message appears when the recovery media has already been created. If you bought a previously used computer or store but the computer was already open, then recovery media has probably been created before you bought the computer and this message is normal. If the computer is less than a few years, then you will probably be able to get a HP recovery solution. There might be a fee according to the status of the security of the computer, the country / region the computer was purchased, and the condition that generated the message.

    I think that the laptop it tell you that the Thumbdrive could not be formatted for all functions of Windows 8. It doesn't have to be 32 GB and is compatible to Windows 8 to create a recovery USB Flash disk. Here is a link to the creation of recovery disks or USB in Windows 8 flash player, if you need it.

  • Could not open the backup files on a USB key

    I supported some (bkf) files on a USB key with XP. I transferred these files on another computer with XP. I can not open them on the other computer with XP and I can open them on the USB key.

    Hello sherbrookeqc,

    Before giving up on the .bkf files, look on the internet for the 3rd party software backup that restores the backup files in Windows XP. It could be your .bkf files are corrupted, but they may be recoverable using other sources.

    However, if the files are empty they may not be not recoverable.

    Good luck.

  • Aspire E1 - 571 does not start USB recovery

    Get the error message saying phone needs recovery. Went into BIOS and selected USB HDD to boot. But as soon as I insert the USB key, the machine goes in loop simply display the Acer logo, black screen. Reflected on the USB (purchased at dealer) and there are files it contains. I tried to start USB FDD and USB, CD ROM, but they do not work either. What Miss me? Help please.

    If you need to reinstall your operating system:

    If your laptop still has the Acer erecovery partition, you can simply start by pressing ALT + F10 and follow the on-screen instructions.

    If you don't have this partition and want to use your USB recovery to reinstall your operating system, you must completely wipe your HARD drive first and then boot from USB.

    You can boot from USB drive just by pressing F12 and selecting the USB flash drive as a boot device, rather than change the BIOS boot priority.

    If your question is different, please post more details.

    I just got my key USB recovery flash in the mail from HP.  I have an ENVY 15 t-j100 Quad and I had accidentally wiped the OS off the coast of the SSHD.  I go into the BIOS, change the boot order, even tried disabling and enabling legacy mode secure boot and I get the same error once I have tell the laptop to boot with the USB key.  He comes up with an error cscript.exe and says that it is impossible to write in the C: disk because it is write protected.  I can cancel, try again or continue, but the laptop stops just after these buttons.

    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    I had set up the SSHD acceleration and 24 GB cache in a RAID0 configuration, as if it was before I wiped the OS.  Apparently, which caused the error, because recovery what USB works fine once I reset both drives non-RAID configurations.  I'll be able to put back them in a RAID0 once the OS is installed?
