• No option to create recovery/usb drives

  I used my x 220 laptop for a year now and I am trying to port my OS on to a new drive mSATA I recently installed, but cannot create recovery disks to do this. I use rescue and recovery 4.5 for windows 7, but I don't see any option to create recovery/usb disks. I see only options to create a backup of my regular HARD drive and "create recovery media", which only seems to copy the service program of rescue and recovery, thinkvantage on the USB. I know that data that are installed on the USB key is not correct because it is about 500 MB, while I've read online that the complete recovery disk should take about 8.4 GB. I also know that I never created before recovery disks. Y at - it something that I'm missing is not let me create these disks?

  is there an easier way to do this?

  It's been a while since I've done it, but it worked in all situations where I tried: call Lenovo support and declare that you are unable to create recovery discs. There are several legitimate reasons to do this, for example from my experience...

  1. my X61s did not come with a DVD player and I don't have a DVD USB drive connected.

  2. my T60p reported all kinds of program errors when I tried to use the utility provided to create diskettes.

  3. an another ThinkPad (don't remember the model number) had a HD crash under warranty. Lenovo sent me a replacement HD but I had no recovery discs. (I had backups Acronis full score but Lenovo didn't and I didn't volunteer).

  4. one of my friends refused the license agreement for Windows on its ThinkPad. Instead, he decided to try Linux. After a few weeks of frustration with Linux, he decided to return to the Windows fold. Since he had not accepted the license to the first start agreement, it had been unable to create recovery discs.

  If your system is under warranty in my experience that Lenovo will send you a set of toll-free recovery disks. You may need to be a little persistent, but as long as you keep it clean, you should get them. Note however the last time I did that was at least 3 years ago so their policy may have changed. Also note that, in any case, my request is legitimate. YMMV.

• Impossible to create recovery USB Drive After Win 8.1 pass on Lenovo Twist

  After the upgrade to Win 8.1 and try to create the recovery usb disk, I get this error:

  "We cannot create a disc of reccovery on this PC. Some required files are missing. To trouble shoot startup of your PC problems, use your installation window or media disc»

  Can some give me a clue as to how to solve this problem? THX.

  I contacted Lenovo who sent me a series of 4 recovery disks. These drives solved the problem, but it meant wiping the hard drive and reinstall the same thing from scratch. A new recovery partition is created and the disc reinstalled Win 8, which was to be updated. So to win 8.1 can be installed. Now, everything works as it should.

• Creating recovery USB disk

  I'm doing the recovery usb disk and it will not be exceeded the stadium to choose between creating DVD or usb drive.  I use a new usb key.

  Hello

  It may be down to the type of flash player, you have.

  If the flash drive is listed as "Windows compatible 8" may not be used - the reason is that the creation of HP recovery media software is seeking a device marked Win 8 compatible show as internal drives flash drives and external .

  In the example below, the 32 Gb flash drive USB 'Dave G' shows as a drive hard internal who can not be used, while the USB flash drive "Removable disc H" would work.

• NB300 - error creating recovery USB stick

  Hello

  I just bought a NB300 and have now tried twice to make the Recovery Media Creator with a 8 GB USB and it totally destroyed two sticks of memory new!

  I followed the instructions, it gets to the bit on formatting the memory stick then comes up with an error with the creator of media software and then close the program.

  Memory sticks are then useless and won't reformat.

  Everyone knows this problem or have any ideas?

  Hi pedrochellie,

  I doubt that the recovery media creator has destroyed your new USB
  You find the USB key in Windows disk management? If Yes, delete the current partition to this topic and create a new.

  In addition, you should test another brand of USB. Maybe they are incompatible I have good experiences with the Transcend USB keys.

  If you have an external RATING, try to create a disc.

• Failed to format create recovery media

  I am trying to create a recovery media for new R30 - 1GZ and opted for USB Flash memory. Inserted a 16 GB Sandisk Cruzer module and said OK for reformatting. Message appears: "Unable to format the drive Windows" (or words to that effect). The module is now unusable.

  Once the module is reinserted, message "need to format the disk in drive I have." In addition, "I:\ is not accessible... How does not contain a recognized file system... ». Failure to put in shape while as before. M/c still able to read and write ordinary data to other flash modules.
  SanDisk Forum is littered with users having similar problems - some argue that the lack of equipment, other Windows 7 problem. No definitive answers.

  Tried another module, different brand (I think) - now I have 2 modules unusable!
  Helpline called Toshiba - never heard of the problem. "Maybe the software module 'create' is corrupt - try to rebuild the system from scratch" (not plausible, I think). Or take back the machine to the PC world...

  Anyone out there who has met (and solved) the Please this problem?

  To be honest, I never heard talk about this. Last month I ve bought Toshiba NB550D for my daughter and I ve created recovery USB stick using 8 GB SanDisk Cruzer with no problems.

  USB key has been recognized by Windows starter, by creator Toshiba Recovery tool and everything worked perfectly.
  In my opinion, your problem is not typical problem of Toshiba and I recommend you to check if the same thing will happen in using another USB.

  Please post comments.

• Create a USB from the recovery CD recovery provided - SOLUTION

  You don't have to buy and CD/DVD external for use provided recovery CD. I guess you all have access to a computer with a CD player. Also, you can buy a 2 GB USB flash memory.

  Using any other computer with a linux or win OS - insert the CD and create the image of this CD .iso file using any application of CD/DVD writer provided. If you use Ubuntu or linux in general, you can use of Brasero CD/DVD burner. Once in the Brazier, choose Copy CD/DVD and in the drop-down menu, select image file. Brasero will create the .iso image file and save it on your hard drive in GNU as file brasero.iso.

  If you prefer to use the terminal / shell to create an iso file enter these commands:

  sudo umount/dev/cdrom

  DD if = of = file.iso / dev/cdrom

  Now we have created the image file and is sitting on the hard drive for you. Now we must create a USB bootable from this image. To do this, download Unetbootin from the link below. It is available for linux and win.

  [http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/]

  Once you have downloaded Unetbootin, you insert the USB memory (it takes 2GB). Launch Unetbootin. Now the option select the second option - iso image and browse to the location of the file on your hard drive and click Open. Below select the usb - slot Linux key something like/dev/sdb1 or/dev/sdc1 - usually it is the name of the drive selected automatically by Unetbootin.

  Click on apply or Ok. the bootable USB key will be created in a few minutes. Once it's done insert in your Toshiba NB 100 and press F12 to start the netbook, a menu option will display - select USB device and press ENTER.

  Now the machine will start and menu start Unetbootin will show - recovery SELECT, then press enter and follow the instructions - and you'll be all set. No need to spend extra money for an external CD drive.

  I tried yesterday and works like magic. Good luck.

• Yet when can WT8 - A - I create a USB recovery?

  Hello.

  A newbie here and must I say, I had a heck of a job, find the button 'open a new topic '.
  I only found it by chance which has landed on the right page.
  Anyway, back to my request.

  I always have a brand new Toshiba WT8A still in the box.
  Here another must be told.

  I had possession of this unit about a week ago and to cut a long story short, at the suggestion of a drop-down notification of Toshiba I downloaded and installed a BIOS update, it went well.

  I was then advised to download and install the update of the installer of Intel. It went well until to half way through and then everything froze, the screen went black and stayed like that for over half an hour or two. When it looked like not commissioning again I tried to start it by pressing the power button on the side, but instead of putting on and working, I got a nasty blue screen informing me that Bitlock had locked my tablet... I panicked!

  In my desperation, I have absolutely violated the internet solution to notice that the only solution was to recover the operating system, but the problem was that I didn't have a USB recovery.

  I was lucky that Toshiba was kind enough to take possession of the mortared Tablet and restored the device to its factory for me.

  So you can see a USB recovery is essential, but the question, at what point can I create them as we know that as soon as you begin to configure things, are supported by internet downloads and everything screams it must be updated and you are bombarded.

  To be honest, I'm terrified to BitLock upward again. The irony is that I was not anywhere near BitLock that I know about in its use or its application, but from what I've gleaned, it seems the update Intel had invoked the locking identify what he perceived as a potential problem after that the BIOS updated... or so it has been suggested.

  I'll start another post with questions about the BitLock, for now, it is a question of recovery USB and welcome all responses. Do I get messages when a response has been added because I see not a checkbox to request this service. ?

  Concerning

  Recovery must be created initially in the best cases after the Tablet has been configured.
  The recovery media contains the image of Toshiba, but the recovery media won't back up your current data or setting. It's very important.

  Leash so assume you got you filed using this Toshiba recovery procedure.
  After this recovery process the tablet will be set to factory settings to the same State as the first date of purchase

  Hope I could clarify this issue.

• 5709 7 stream: How to create a USB key to recovery for HP 7 5709 flow?

  I bought a used HP Jet 7 5709 Signature edition and want to create a USB stick recovery before doing an Upgrade to 10 win or forced to upgrade. Can someone tell me how this can be done. I advised to buy a because it would cost more than the tablet itself and can't understand why I can't create a recovery Partition it. thanks in advance!

  Hi, you can go to the control panel => recovery.  There are also instructions here.  You already tried that and it doesn't work?
  
  You would need to an OTG adapter and a 8 GB USB key to create the recovery media.

• Trying to create the recovery USB disk

  I am trying to create a usb for my yoga 2 pro recovery disk. I found the instructions of lenovo support page, but when I search "recovery disk", nothing comes. Does anyone know why this might be?

  Too bad. I found it. It just does not appear in the search for a reason any.

• Zbook 14: [OS Recovery, damaged SSD, Zbook 14] create a USB startup of backup discs.

  Hello everyone.

  I have a problem with my Zbook 14. Unfortunately, the built-in SSD has failed, and it seems that all data, including the recovery partitions, have now disappeared.

  I already ordered the backup disks and HP will send them to me in a few days.

  I would like to know what I can do with this discs to create a USB bootable since 14 Zbook does not come with any DVD player.

  Please let me know. Thank you!

  I solved the problem by using free software 2:

  (1) I created an ISO of the DVD with DaemonTools Lite image;

  (2) that I created a bootable USB using rufus.

  Would be really nice if HP could send USB keys instead of the DVD, of course in charge anything for the service.

• HP Envy Spectrea XT (13-2000eg: failed to create the aUEFI recovery USB HP Envy spectrum XT (13-2000eg) as key to retrieve the firmware)

  Hello

  After that I reinstalled Windows 10 from scratch, I tried to reinstall some of the previous tools HP from my backup in c:\SWSetup. Something failed there and window 10 frozen.

  After a forced via the power button, the ultrabook no longer starts. Instead the Shiftlock LED ist blinking 2 times + pause (the BIOS is broken, at least another document indicates... why?).

  The UEFI boot loader seems to be ok, at least after the reset, a USBSTick is accessible before the led starts to Flash.

  So my simple question is: How can not create a USB key UEFI firmware recovery?

  The available sp66771.exe file DOES not work or offers an option to create a USB key, which can be used with WIndows + B on poweron reflash a UEFI working image.

  Also, any other documentation that I found for HP and Insyde UEFI products did not work at all.

  Where can such a recovery USB key now?

  What keys are used on the desire to trigger the usbrecovery?

  Concerning

  Carsten

  After losing hours (!) talk to take in charge the people at HP, hours of navigation Reiver on the HP site, I finally found the solution:

  3-in-1-USB-recovery-key

  It's an HP internal tools. Less than 10 min, I downloaded and installed the tool to a USB key.

  After plugin stick to the ultrabook, by pressing power - we + ESC UEFI firmware was flashed automatically to the latest version. After<3min the="" ultrabook="" was="" up="" an="" running="">

  Would it not useful, if supporters want to know this internal tool from HP, rather than trying to sell me the new HW or propose costly repairs (propbaly to promote the sale of new HW)?

  So while the HW and associated tools seems to be pretty mich ok, support and information on the forum needs a lot of improvement.

• USB stick not recognized when creating recovery disc in Windows 8.

  Original title: Recovery Media Creator prblem

  Hello-I have a desktop K430 Lenovo with a 1 to HDD, Win8 64 b, 12 GB of memory. I'm trying to create a recovery disc using a flash drive HP with 32 GB. I bought a 2 GB Tech Universe that should do the job, but the Recovery Media Creator suggest 16 GB.

  I installed USB Flash Drive 32 GB HP which is identified as HPv125w (F): the computer and selected for how to manage the unknown data or take any Action. I formatted the Flash Drive ENF to match my file system. I also chose computer /Devices removable and open as portable devices in the hope that the flash player would be recognized by the Recovery Media Creator, but it didn't happen.

  I run the following command to create a Recovery flash drive:

  Control Panel/All Control Panel Items/Recovery/create a recovery disk/copy the recovery partition from the pc on the recovery drive (I checked this assertion). I clicked NEXT to continue the process.  I was instructed to connect a USB and the reader must be able to contain at least 16 GB. He also said that everything on the disk is deleted. Identity of the flash player (HPv125w (F) does not appear on the page of recovery media and THEN is grayed out. I need help with this problem.  After checking the Microsoft Community, I learned that I could use search from the start page or opening of office and enter recoverydrive.exe and make appear the Recovery Media Creator. I performed this task once again, but I got the same results, as shown above. Thanks in advance.

  You can also try using diskpart to his list volume control just to compare his view of this device.
