• Split 13 x 2 PCs 13-m110dx: cannot perform the system recovery using a USB flash drive

  I just bought a Split 13 x 2 13-m110dx PC that came with Windows 8. I have upgraded the OS to 8.1 and made a copy of the recovery Partition using a USB flash drive, and deleted the recovery of the PC disk that I learned that I could do. However, when I tried to retrieve OEM provided using the USB flash drive by following the directions at creation and use of a recovery of Microsoft USB drive (Windows 8) "System Recovery" was not available to the title of "troubleshooting." I tried to tell it to boot from the USB, but it askes me to insert the support of windows or other media, but rejects the flash player. What do I do now because I have not all discs?

  To use the Flash created to restore the system to the factory settings, see "Recovering from a USB flash drive" appearing in the following link:

  HP System Recovery allows to reinstall or restore a HP with Windows 8 computer to the way it was at a previous time.

• Can I use a USB Flash drive?

  Windows XP Professional - SP3 - Version 2002

  Can I use a USB Flash drive to increase memory? My machine has 512 MB of RAM, and I have a 1.80 GHz CPU Celeron (r) processor.
  From what I've researched, because my OS is Windows XP and I have 512 MB of RAM, I cannot use a 4 GB Flash drive.
  I use a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and lots of sample packs and I have need of more memory. My machine is maxed out at 512 MB of RAM.
  If I buy a 4 GB Flash drive, can I load my DAW on the Flash drive and optimal storage space or should I buy a hard drive to accomplish my problem of not having enough memory?

  Thanks in advance!

  512 MB you should be fine for Windows XP. OK, the application may run more slowly than on a modern computer - but performance is reasonable.

  Like me, I have a computer with 1 linear array of 512 MB memory and a 128 MB memory chips - making the total up to almost 640MO - but I use Photoshop CS3 on it daily and it works fine for most tasks.

  However, if you want to get some further improvements to your computer for the RAM intensive applications performance, I would recommend increasing the virtual memory.

  More about memory virtual here-

  http://ask-Leo.com/what_is_virtual_memory.html

  To increase the virtual memory-

  Do a right click my computer > click Properties > Advanced tab > settings under 'Performance' button > Advanced tab in the performance Options window > change button under "virtual memory".

  Now select the custom size option.

  The options below, you can see some details like -

  Minimum allowed - XX MB

  Recommended - XXXX MB

  Currently allocated - XXXX MB

  Make sure that you set the value of initial size (MB) near the recommended space. The value of maximum size to a value much greater than currently allocated space. (But always value less than 2048 maximum size - you don't need that much).

  That could give some amount of performance increase - but he won't give you a magical boost of performance.

• 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.

• Reinstall Windows 7 using a USB Flash drive and an ISO image

  My laptop is not an optical disc drive in order to reinstall Windows, I had to rely on the USB that I have. I downloaded an ISO image of the operating system on the Microsoft site and created a bootable USB stick using the xcopy command in command prompt. When I restarted the system and chose the USB as a boot device, nothing happened for half an hour. Then I had to reboot the PC somehow and it booted normally. Since he did not work once again, I downloaded the Windows 7 USB DVD download tool. But even the tool cannot complete the writing process, even after several attempts. So as a last attempt, I opened the folder where I had extracted all the files and ran StartCD.exe but it terminated immediately by posting "too big for memory. (BTW, I use a 8 GB flash drive) What should I do to fix this?

  Use Rufus:

  The USB key must be formatted in FAT32 and use the GPT partitioning scheme. To do this, you must use Rufus, a small tool that you can download for free.

  

  Rufus - credit: Pete bastard/Akeo

  After installing Rufus:

  • Launch it
  • Select the ISO Image
  • Point to the file ISO for Windows 10
  • Check create a disk bootable using
  • Select GPT partitioning to EUFI firmware as the Partition scheme
  • Choose FAT32 NOT NTFS as file system
  • Make sure that your USB in the device list
  • Click Start
  • Close when you are finished

• Using a USB flash drive for backup more driver and application backup recovery

  I have a 32 GB flash drive I used to create a recovery for my Aspire S7 backup using Windows 8.1. I understand that in creating this backup everything on the flash drive is deleted before creating backup. Can I now use this drive for other purposes, e.g., pilots and backup applications, pictures, documents, etc., or this flash drive now should he remain dedicated to the sole purpose of being a backup recovery?

  Hi zimmerbob

  I keep as a backup to dedicated recovery flash drive and use one for drivers & applications.

  It is always wise to keep the recovery discs, as well as the recovery disks. Flash memory is quite inexpensive for the moment!

• need to repair the startup of windows, files, but cannot use the cd-rom drive

  for the past 6 months that I had to use a return to the top of the boot disk to get windows to load so I could copy all my important files and documents on DVDs as my windows xp edition home sp3 OS suddenly stopped wanting to load normally and I'd just reformat the HD

  Last week... my browser froze causing me to have to stop by turning off the power button... to restarting my pc, my cd-rom drive is not found and now I am unable to finish to copy my important files and these DVD

  is there anyway I can repair windows without using the cd-rom drive... .. I can get in the F12 boot menu but not in the installer of F2 or F8 safe mode without using a cd-rom drive to launch the boot disk

  2.2 under Win XP home edition sp3 dell xps 210 system, intel duo core processor 4 GB ram and 500 GB HD

  It has only 1 CD/dvd-rom combo drive and 4 smaller slots for memory cards and other... I have 3 slots open usb but do not have the files of windows to a flash drive recovery

  would it be possible to make a recovery file or file on a USB stick the size of a flash drive and boot would need... currently the largest one I have is 4 GB

  Hi storm36,

  You must have the Windows XP disk to repair Windows. As the CD/DVD drive is not getting detected, we recommend you try the following steps and check the result.

  Step 1: Check if the device is detected in the BIOS (basic input/output device)
  a. start your computer and press on delete key continuously to see the BIOS.
  b. check if the CD/DVD device is detected.
  c. If this isn't the case, then unplug the unit and he reconnected inside the CPU/Tower.
  d. check the result.

  Step 2: If the device is detected in the BIOS, try the following steps:
  a. start your computer and boot to the desktop.
  b. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc, and then click ok.
  c. select my computer, click the Action menu and click scan for hardware changes.
  d. check if the CD/DVD device is listed in the list.

  Step 3: If the problem persists, restore the computer
  see How to restore Windows XP to a previous state .
  b. Once you have restored the computer, check if the CD/DVD drive is visible.

• Using Bitlocker with Flash Drive

  Two flashdrives have been encrypted by bitlocker. When I mount the two flashdrives, in windows Explorer, each of them appear with a lock or (drive F and G drive). When I unlock the two discs (by entering the password) a grey lock appears on drive F (as it should), but no lock appears on the G drive. Also, after you have unlocked, I am able to view the content encrypted in the two discs without difficulty. When I right click on the 'F', the menu that appears includes a choice of "manage bitlocker. When I right click on the disk 'G', the menu does not include the "manage bitlocker. When I eject the F drive by right clicking and pressing the "eject" drive F goes away from the screen to the windows Explorer (as it should). When I eject the G drive by right clicking and pressing 'eject', don't disappear from windows Explorer screen, it seems to be stuck.

  The 'F' flash player seems to behave correctly, but it seems that the 'G' flash drive is not fully recognised by the bitlocker. What is the problem with the drive flash "G"?

  Hello Ted,

  Thanks for posting your question on the forum of the Microsoft community.

  Thank you to provide detailed information on the issue.

• Use of the flash drive on a X 200

  I just got my new X 200 and I did not plant still recovery disks. I guess that thay have to go on CD/DVD players due to the boot record having to read from the first disc.

  I would like to use a flash drive to 32 GB for a full system image backup, followed by the incremental backups.  Is this possible?

  I waited a long time for an answer... nothing coming, so I went to another forum where such issues of users actually get responses.

  For those interested...

  The enthusiastic response of the users who have used flash drives for storing important data, should absolutely NOT use flash for this purpose.  The recommendation was to use CD/DVD only.

  Users tell me that's not for technical reasons that I shouldn't put backups on flash drives. This is because flash drives are notoriously little reliable. Some brands have done well and then badly in the months following incandescent customers.

  Many users now have USB hard drives and they recommend this approach to those of us who want immediate access to the operating system and business or personal data if a catastrophic failure occurs.  I'm opting for this approach with a factory version DVD copy.

  It seems that flash drives are better for personal data which can be reincorporated easily or for the convenience of mobility data.

  I hope this helps.

• Satellite L20-100 cannot access a USB Flash drive

  I recently bought Toshiba Satellite L20-100
  I installed a USB in Kingston datatraveler flash drive and windows recognized it without problem.
  but when I open my computer there is no icon for the reader (it works on another computer well).
  the drive is recognized in Device Manager, but it is not given a drive letter.
  When I open disk management and try to give it a drive letter it still does not show on my computer even after a reboot.

  Although I can access the disk management flash drive and can open, copy & paste the files & to her.
  same problem happened with a card reader.
  other USB devices like cable modem & mouse work well

  What is the solution

  Hello

  Is it possible that the USB is not formatted? Try changing the file system on the USB key.
  You can also try to change the drive letter because the letter assigned automatically sometimes gives some conflicts with other readers.

  Second possibility:
  You can try to clean all the USB stored device settings and let Windows refresh their.

  Create a file with Notepad containing the following lines and save it as a BOOKMARK. REG
  -cut after this line-
  REGEDIT4

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Environment]

  "DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES" = "1".
  -cut before this line-

  Double click on FIX. REG and say yes to the merge into registry question.

  Unplug ALL USB device.
  Open the Device Manager.
  View, show hidden devices.
  Uninstall all devices under USB controllers.
  Uninstall all devices in hard drives that you know are not present.
  Uninstall all devices in storage Volumes. Say no to all reboot prompts until you are finished.
  In addition, if a storage Volume doesn't uninstall, ignore her and move on to the next.
  If you have a yellow? with unknown devices, uninstall all of the entries there as well.
