  • Vista backup cannot reuse the same flash drive

    How can I reuse my flash drive to another backup? Vista knows it has been used before, even if I deleted the old backup.
    thanx

    Hi Joy77,

    Is there anything else being stored on another flash drive backups? Otherwise, you might save a few headaches and just format your drive.

    Warning

    • Formatting a volume will destroy all data on the partition. Be sure to make backups of all the data to save before you begin.

    • You cannot format a disk or partition that is currently in use, including the partition that contains Windows.

    • Quick format is a formatting option that creates a new file table, but do not completely overwrite or erase the volume. A quick format is much faster than a normal format, which fully erases the existing data on the volume.

    1. Open Computer Management by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools and then double-click computer management.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2. In the Navigation pane, under storage, click Disk Management.

    3. Right-click the volume you want to format and then click on format.

    4. To format the volume with the default settings in the dialog box format, click OK, and then click OK again.

      For more information about the formatting of a partition, see create and format a hard disk partition.

  • Why is my 64 GB USB Flash Drive "not a backup location valid?

    I tried to turn it to a previous question, but reading of the Code of conduct for this forum, I discovered that it was inappropriate to do that.  My apologies for this.

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit SP1, installed using Toshiba recovery disks (I have a new Toshiba laptop, when I got the system I opted to not have a recovery partition).  I just cleaned all the bloatware off Windows, ran Windows Update until there was no more updates for (achieved in this way SP1), and now I have a fresh and clean windows installation, which has never even been to a single Web site.  Now, I am trying to create a system image on a 64 GB flash drive (I won't even finish by using half of it, as my SSD has only about 19 GB used, and which includes the hibernation file (I disabled the pagefile, because paging files are unkind to SSDs))

    Before, I asked if it was possible to manually create a System Image of Windows 7 on a USB Flash drive (big), and I got two answers 'Yes' to two stars of the community. (See my question here)  It is also stated that it is possible on windows.microsoft.com, here.  Note that when windows.microsoft.com stipulates "the system image must be saved on a hard drive, reference is made to automatic creating system images.  If you keep reading, you'll see that the page says that if you want to manually create a a system image, this image of the system may be recorded on optical discs, a USB Flash drive or a hard drive.  If it is possible, then why will I have the following problem?

    64 GB USB Flash Drive inserted--> closed Autoplay dialogue--> Opened "My Computer"--> Right-clicked drive E (my flash drive) and the selected format--> Unchecked 'Quick Format'--> size of the NTFS system chosen and 4096 bytes of cluster--> Clicked 'Format' and acknowledged that all the data will be deleted--> waited a while for the form to fill out, then clicked OK--> closed 'My Computer'--> ejected my flash player by clicking on 'remove hardware safely'--> physically unplugged flash drive--> Grabbed a diet coke with ice--> inserted 64 GB USB Flash drive--> AutoPlay dialog closed--> opens the start--> Clicked "All programs" Menu--> clicked maintenance--> click Backup and Restore Center--> clicked on create System Image--> (scans of program for storage devices)--> my flash drive appears under "on a hard drive" and the words 'the drive is not a valid backup location' appear under my FlashDrive being listed.  For reference, "on one or more DVDs" appears just below the text saying "the drive is not a valid backup location."

    My understanding is that what I just tried to do is create an image of the system on an NTFS partition formatted (with a 4 KB cluster size) 64 GB USB Flash Drive.  But it is not letting me!  I understand that I can't plan the creation of automatic system for USB Flash drives, but according to windows.microsoft.com image and two stars of the community, it is indeed possible to "manually" create a system image on a large USB Flash drive, which I think is what I just tried to do.  If there is another way to create a system image, even more 'manually' than what I do (I'm certainly not afraid of the command line, if I need to use it I'm more than happy to do so), please let me know.

    I have a low-quaility SATA 3.0 Gbit/s notebook HDD in an enclosure USB powered bus at low prices, and I was able to create a system on that image.  However, I expect this device to fail shortly.  I also managed to create a system image on a DVD-r virgins.  I did, however, just spend $85 on a 64 GB USB Flash Drive specifically to store an image of the system, which I expect to use to back up Windows 7 with World of Warcraft installed (total size of drive C will be approximately 50 GB; I have not yet downloaded WoW; "I want to overcome this first).

    Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thank you!

    1st edit: adding links so people would not need to copy and paste to their address bar and said the last sentence of the last paragraph.

    I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum is frought with for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Two me are familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 7 years without the 1st problem) and Memeo, which has 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from http://memeo.com. You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

    CNET has a lot of reviews of backup program to

    http://download.CNET.com/Windows/backup-software/?tag=contentBody;sideBar.

    Some of them are free (the last time I checked there are 315), some have free trials (more), and some are buying only (more than 200).

  • Use the flash drive for the paging file

    @greenestguy

    Swap file cannot be larger than 4 GB, so no need for a 8 GB flash drive. Save some $$.

    Don't know why it would be a bad idea because MS have programmed it in Vista and Win 7 as ReadyBoost. I suppose there is always the chance that I don't see any difference on the old hardware, but I do not see how it would break anything.

  • HP Pavilion g6 Notebook Windows 8 flash drive system backup and recovery

    I have a HP Pavilion Notebook PC g6 with an operating system of Windows 8. I want to create a feedback system for recovery with a flash drive. The HP support assistant says that a minimum 22GB flash disk is required. I bought a 32 GB Cruzer flash drive and tried to create my recovery disk. Although my computer recognizes the device, the HP Wizard not to light up when I pushed the flash drive option and the position of the screen continued to read insert the media device. It was'nt by registering or by recognizing that I had inserted device. In one of the pages HP I was reading, he said not to use a widows compatible flash 8 player! I don't understand. What should I do? What kind of flash drive I should get that would do the job and what size of capacity? Please, please help me someone!

    Hello

    The problem is caused by the application Recovery Media Creator not recognizing flash drives that show, like 'Fixed readers'-, it will only recognize the flash drives that appear as a "removable disk.  In the example below, Dave (G) shows as a reader fixed and won't work, while removable disk (H) will work.

  • have windows 7. Homepage. do not all results for exfat. 512 GB

    I have Windows 7 home addition. also an EXfat 512 GB flash drive. But do not work. He is unable to format to NTFS

    Hey Joe,

    1. is the flash drive, recognized by the computer?

    2. what happens when you try to format it in NTFS?

    By default, Windows offers the option to format a USB drive with FAT or FAT32 filesystem only, but not with NTFS.

    However, you can still format the Flash drive to NTFS. Follow these steps for the same.

    a. Insert the USB key into the USB port.

    b. click Start, typedevmgmt.msc in the search text box and press enter.

    c. find the hard drives and expand it.

    d. find the Flash DRIVE that you want to format and double-click it. He opens the Properties dialog box.

    e. click the policies tab.

    f. by default, the optimize for quick removal option selected, go to the option optimize for performance and then press OK.

    g. now open the computer, right click on the USB Flash drive and select format. The Format dialog box will now appear.

    h. Select NTFS for file system .

    i. press Start and wait while the process will be completed.

    j. is now your USB Flash drive to NTFS.

    Hope that answers your query. You can write back to us for other queries/problems related to windows and we will be happy to help you further.

  • NB100 - How can I reinstall OS from USB flash drive

    My laptop TOSHIBA NB 100 has no CD-DVD player.
    Operating system is Windows XP Home SP2.

    Operating system won't start.

    Laptop start not at all so I can't run any kind of test when I turn it on.

    The thank you screen come on it says launch safe mode, the networking of safe mode, safe mode comand prompt or start windows normally. But no matter who I chose, that it does not start it only goes to Windows and looks like its starts but then shows the blue Windows screen & stays there.

    So I want to reload Windows from my USB flash drive.
    The BIOS boot sequence is the USB HDD - FDD - FD - CD memory.

    What are the steps for loading Windows USB flash drive?

    If that does not work then I want to connect another laptop with Windows CD in the CD - DVD drive laptop.
    Will this work? The laptop will use the Windows CD in the drive of the laptop to load the operating system?
    How to make this connection?

    Hello

    You usually have an external USB CD/DVD drive to boot from the Windows XP disc or the Toshiba recovery disc.

    But there is a method that allows you to install Win XP using the 2 GB USB key.
    This is possible because the NB100 BIOS supports booting from USB key.

    Pease check this Web page:
