Create a recovery issue media

I recently bought a Thinkpad Edge 14, which has a DVD - RAM drive. I would use the utility lenovo ThinkVantage tools to take emergency backup disks to restore computer to factory condition ther. However when I run the utility, it notes "DVD-RAM is not supported for CD 1 of the product recovery disc set."

I'm confused. How should I proceed?

As I said, it's probably a good idea to use a cd for the first disc. DVD - r are my personally preferred when you use R & R.

    This problem occurs if the Toshiba Recovery creator tool cannot find the recovery image on the HARD drive. There are several reasons for this. Recovery image can be removed, deleted or structure of disk partitions HARD maybe changed. Just with the original settings and their State of origin HDD it will work.

    Unfortunately now you will be able to create a recovery media or the installation of HARD drive recovery.
    What you can do is a new and original for your model of laptop recovery DVDs and it is possible on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Cannot create a recovery on my Satellite S50T-B008 media

    I have just bought a laptop by Satellite S50T-B008 and recovery media creator, when I click on create it tells me to insert a greater than 11.8 GB USB flash drive. I have a 32GB Flash DRIVE installed.

    I click OK and then another box comes up saying the same thing. I keep going round in circles and I can't create the recovery media. I tried with other USB flash drives and different USB ports on the laptop and get always the same.

    Any ideas?

    On my two machines I used ve 16GB USB stick from two various manufacturers and all went well.
    I recommend you to use the USB 16 GB also. Try restarting your machine (full stop) and test again.
    You can also try to format the USB key before starting the creation of recovery media

  • Satellite U840T - cannot create USB recovery media

    Can someone advise please - I have a new U840T Satellite with SDDS and try to create a recovery media using a USB key.

    The Toshiba 'Recovery Media Creator' inviotes I plug a USB key at least 10.4 G. So, I inserted a new USB 16G. The app clearly did not see this, even if it is recognized by the PC itself, no problem.

    When I press 'create' to load the stick, the app just says: "the process of creation for all media was cancelled" is not only wrong spelling, but completely useless.

    I do something wrong, ir is just a very poor app?

    Thank you very much...

  • Satellite-T230D fails to create a recovery media

    I have a T230D Satellite under Windows 7 Home Premium. When you try to create a recovery media using a USB key, the process begins by informing the Flash DRIVE will be formatted.
    At this point, it fails with the error code 040EAE-57-00000000. The USB key is left in an unusable state and cannot be reformatted by Windows.

    The HP USB Format utility is able to reformat the USB drive.
    Before you begin to create the recovery media application, I disabled VirusControl, firewall and Internet access to make sure that nothing got in the way. I tried this twice with the same result both times.

    Can you please tell us what USB device you are using?
    Have you tested with different keys memory USB flash?

    I created the flash recovery with the Toshiba recovery software but I don't want to keep my recovery only media on usb flash. As you know netbooks don't have a DVD burner and I want to have the recovery DVDs too. Then I used the external DVD burner to create recovery DVDs. But I couldn't do it. After a few minutes accumulate on an error.
    Unfortunately, he write unknown error.
    Now I need help to solve this problem. If one of the solutions below works, my problem is solved:

    (2) can I image the recovery without software Toshiba recovery partition?
    And finally I can fix the problem of process writing
    Thank you

    Hi Bill,

    What type of DVD you used to burn recovery disk? I m still using DVD-R from Verbatim and TDK media, it works.

    But in my opinion the easiest way is that make a backup (image) of the USB. As far as I know that it works with a normal backup program like Acronis True Image. You can save the backup recovery USB stick on another drive, for example.

    But normally if you don t use the USB it will work if you need it. ;)

  • Stream7 create a recovery media after upgrade to win10

    unboxed my stream7 a few days earlier and let it update and got the 'time to get win10' icon in the systray.  I created win8.1 media restoration until I take the not... so I can go back to a clean win8... because I have now about free 3.5gig after the upgrade on mem drive.  (it's why I want create recovery win10 media... I have none left of disk space!)

    In any case, when I try to create a restoration of win10 disc... I select the check box for the system files and it works a little butthen I get this cryptic message on the screen and a button 'Finish'... but no recovery drive.  If I do not select the system files, it will erase the disk and copy data to it, but this isn't a recovery disk... There is no need to re install win10.  This is win8.1bing, so I can't use the creator of media 10 victory as I have no key... I have to use the recovery media.

    any ideas?  I really like win10, but I need my space rear disc and I want to get rid of all the win8.1 on the driv cruft.

    Thank you.

    To answer my own post... Apparently, simply wait 12 hours. (He was not an update, at least I think... I got the auto update service stopped and the Tablet off all night)

    When I tried again this morning... It took about 2 hours, but he had completed the restoration of the road. Another 2 hours and it increased by win10 running, but the screen would not rotate automatically. The fix for that float around these forums. Basically you reinstall the driver win8.1 for HP accelerometer. And boom, in fact.

  • HP Envy X 2: laptop recovery partition (D) merged with another partition, not be able to create a recovery media

    I have merged my restore partition HP with another partition I created. Data recovery files are still intact in the New Partition. I have not created a recovery media. When I tried to create the USB Flash Drive recovery using recovery HP Manager media, I get the message that "recovery partition does not exist. How to get again the merged recovery partition and create a recovery USB Flash drive. If simply copy data from recovering files to a USB flash drive will work as a Bootable media in the case that need if in the future.

    @joy1964: should not have done that.  Messing around with the OEM partition somehow good enough recovery ensures it won't work not later, when you need it.

    Personally, I don't trust recovery integrated systems in any case.  You want to be able to recover from an image stored on a disk system large capacity Flash DRIVE or external.  In this way, if the disk fails, I can restore a functional system within minutes.

    Consider using a third-party product known as Macrium Reflect this.

    Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.

    What I recommend is the following:
    (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
    (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
    (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

    NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

    AND... you no longer have the recovery partition at all and can reuse that space for something else.

  • Pavilion dv6: create recovery disk media fails

    The disk is failing - takes forever to start and the PC hangs when I try to access it using Explorer. I have another drive, removed the PC drive and mounted in a USB SATA disk drive.

    I can see the recovery partition, there look OK, contains a lot of files, among them a 22Gig. A file 'bootmgr' in the root and a startup directory, especially of the WIM file.

    Can I use this partition to create a bootable USB drive that can recover my OS on this new hard drive?

    I know that I can buy a recovery kit, but if I use it, I'll save some money and the day 6-10 wait as the press kit...

    Hello:

    Use this guide to learn how to create a recovery media:

    It only works with the hard drive in the PC.

    Here's a way you can reinstall W7 by using the product key of W7 25 characters on the bottom of your PC case.

    Make your own plain W7 x 64 installation media.

    Here is the link to the download site of Microsoft for the W7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 ISO file.

    http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-24209. ISO Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 English

    Make sure you get all the 3. XX GB of the file to download.  Sometimes it reports 'Download complete', but you do not have the entire file.

    Burn the file on a DVD using the option of the program of your burner burn DVD file ISO then the DVD is bootable.

    Or you can use this tool to transfer the ISO to a flash USB 4 GB or DVD drive.  The tool also performs the bootable media.

  • HP Notebook PC 15: create system recovery media

    my laptop has a message asking to "create a system recovery media. Since the purchase of the laptop, I have upgraded to win10 (the free version online), of win8.1, which I upgraded to 8.0 immediately after purchase. I have a set of 3 drive recovery I think I did when I bought the HP. The instructions indicate that only a game can be made. In addition, the instructions show that more than 3 disks are required. But when I start the process only a USB option is available. How can I determine if the 3 disc set is the right game for this PC? I'm confused.

    Hello slickamis;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post on creating recovery media and wanted to help.

    If you create HP recovery support before proceeding with the upgrade to Win10, it's a waste of time trying to do it now.  Why?  Two reasons...

    First of all, the update of Win10 has a bad history of corrupting the recovery OEM information, and if this happens to you, any media that you create does not work.

    Second, that the media would have been for the original operating system, and the recovery information are not updated when you upgrade the Win10.  So the media could serve as a recovery of Win10.

    My suggestion is if you want to create a recovery media for Win10, then consider using a third-party solution known as Macrium reflect (MR).

    What I recommend is the following:
    (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
    (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
    (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

    I use all the time and it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make the backup of the image and at the same time or less do a restore.  In addition, MR has the ability to add a recovery Boot Menu entry.  This then allows you to boot into Windows re, and then you can use it to do a restore - when you cannot start Windows!

    NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

    Good luck

    I'm a volunteer and I do not work for, or represent, HP.

  • Create a recovery Partition recovery media

    I'm trying to help my sister fix her laptop computer, it's a HP Pavilion DM3. The hard drive has developed a physical defect that prevents it from start in Windows, but the recovery partition seems intact.

    What I want to do is to replace the hard drive with a new one and restore it using the recovery of the old hard disk partition. Is it possible that I can do the following:

    1. create recovery media when booting in recovery manager / the recovery partition?

    2 copy the hidden content of the Recovery folder on this partition (when connecting the drive to another computer), so I can copy the recovery on a new physical disk partition?

    Any help greatly appreciated, thank you.

    The methods that you have described or procedures which have been provided will work. While it is possible that "D:\". "HP recovery partition is intact, it is more likely that it is not. The only way I think that you may be able to recover the system right now is to buy a new hard drive size and as the failed drive and "clone" of all of the old disk to the new disk. This will / may require two boxes USB 2.5 "external hard drive and a work computer to accomplish.

    Once the disc has been 'cloned', place the new disc of the HP laptop and see if it boots. If it starts, immediately create HP recovery support. If it does not start, try to set the "D:\". "As HP recovery partition active by using a utility of partitioning of the road. If it starts, it must begin the process of restoration of HP and return the computer to a factory State.
