  The device must as well be greater than 5 GB, but also be a physical hard disk for scratch partition to be created. If on USB, there is not a scratch partition little matter the size of the USB unit.

• Ultrabook HP 4 t-1100 - hard drives defective - No. DVD player - made HP sells recovery USB flash drives?

  Hello

  I am repairing a laptop HP Touchsmart Ultrabook 4 t-1100 for a friend. The pc wouldn't start. BSOD, would try to repair itself, then BSOD again. I ran the hard drive from the bios test. He said that the hard drive has failed. I bought a new drive hard Western Digital 7mm Blue, replaced the wrong drive, has passed the test to drive hard and then asked my friend if she had the Windows 8 recovery disc or a flash supplied with the computer player.

  Apparently, the recovery discs are not included with Ultrabooks, nor are a recovery flash drive. Being that this computer has been for a schoolgirl teenager, given to him by his mother of the computer-illiterate, nor had the foresight to do a restore of backup USB flash drive. All Ultrabooks do not have a reader of CD/DVD/BLU, so a USB recovery "disk" is necessary.

  I don't have another computer to Windows 8 lying autour to make a USB recovery. Some people sell images of USB recovery on eBay, but they don't seem very good reputation.

  And apparently they do not put the product key of Windows 8 on the bottom of portable computers more either! HP offers to sell a "recovery disc" through their section of the support of their website, but it is obviously not a DVD player to put it in.

  Here's my quandry: If I buy the "recovery disk" HP, they will send me a DVD or a USB FlashDrive with a system image on it? And if they send me DVD, I'll be able to put it in a computer Windows 7 and make a bootable system image that then I could put it on a USB key? Then, Windows will automatically find the product key?

• Laptop HP 17 p100: how the usb flash drive big that I have to create a system of 10 Windows Recovery?

  How the big usb flash drive do I need to create a system of 10 Windows Recovery?

  Yes

  Hello;

  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

  There is really no way accurately guess in advance, with one of the reasons being that the options are available when you do this.  An option creates a recovery drive minimum with what is needed to repair the operating system.  Another option creates an image that is able to completely restore the operating system and its partition.  Thus, the size can vary from 4 GB to the size of the partition to the OS.

  Myself, I found as build-in recovery to be unreliable, especially those of Ms.  So instead, I use a third-party imaging/restoration solution known as Macrium Reflect.

  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

  My experience is that SIR, when you use the option of Compression high, typically allows to compress the image file recorded at about 50% of the space USED in the OS partition.  This means that if you have a 40GB and 80GB OS partition is used, MR must only about 20 GB to store the image file.

  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

• 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 instructions say that the 32 GB flash drive has NOT should be labeled as Windows 8 compatible.   I bought a Sandisk 32 GB yesterday for $20 on sale, but it says on the back that it is compatible.

  More / or less expensive flash drives did not address if compatible with Windows 8.

  Hello

  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.

• Question about creating a recovery (file system) USB flash drive

  Hello and happy new year to all, (I'm from greeece, sorry for the mistakes of language possible)

  (Pavilion dv6-6c01ev - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - bought 08-21-12)

  I want to create a USB stick recovery, and I just bought a USB flash drive 32 GB 3.0 for this reason.

  I've never done it before, but I have read how, according to the this page.

   

  My question is:

  What file system must be the USB key, before the decision-making process? FAT32 or NTFS ?

  Bought, thati USB file system is FAT32 by default.

  I already read that on the page above: 'a message of Recovery Manager opens indicating that the flash drive will be formatted. Click OK to format the USB key and continue. »

  but I would like to have, and a more definite answer from someone who knows better.
  

  So, does change the NTFS file system.

  or should I now start the manufacturing process of the recovery USB flash drive as it is (FAT32)

  Thank you for your help

   

   

  I have already created the recovery USB flash drive, and formatted Recovery Manager the disk before the process,

  and at the end, when the recovery files was written and verifyed.

  I look at the file system of the USB flash drive, and it's NTFS...

  I worried for nothing...

  Thans anyway...

• Laptop HP 15-R084NG: is it possible to copy a HP recovery on another USB flash drive support?

  Hello.

  Just a few questions please:

  1. when I do only once "HP Recovery Media" to a USB key, I can then 'copy' and 'paste' on another USB flash drive as long as the 2nd flash player has sufficient capacity?

  The recovery still works well?

  I ask this question in case I have to change to another USB flash drive and I am aware I can only have a copy of the HP recovery.

  2. If this is the case, I then can also make a backup on a Western Digital external drive so that in case of malfunction of the USB flash drive, can I still transfer files to another USB flash drive?

  Thanks in advance for the answer.

  Best regards.

• Dell DataSafe - 'Create System Recovery' does not recognize my USB flash drive

  Hello

  I just set up my new laptop Inspiron and 'Dell DataSafe Local Backup Basic Edition' pops up advising me to "Create system recovery media" restore my system to its critical failure of hard disk factory settings.

  It gives me the option to save this on a disk or a USB Flash drive.  I have a drive hard laptop "Western Digital My Passport Essential' that I would use for this, that's why I chose the option of USB Flash drive.  However, I get a message "no USB key not found.

  Can someone tell me what I need to do to store the backup recovery system on my laptop hard drive?  (I know a recordable DVD will be probably easier, but I did not and do not want to buy a bunch of them just for that!)

  Any notice received with gratitude.

  Thank you

• 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).

  Good luck.

• Trying to recover a Windows 8 compatible USB flash drive

  Can someone help me please? I think that I have a hard drive failure or a fault. It specifies the drive name: TOSHIBA MQ01ABF050 and C:\;D:\ volume. I have a HP Pavilion Sleekbook with windows 8.1 14 TS (I upgraded from the Windows 8 which came with the laptop) and I unconsciously created a recovery image on a USB compatible of Windows 8 successfully when I lived already problems with my portable hard drive. Later, I discovered that it is not recommended to create a recovery image on a USB compatible of windows 8. I hope to just get back to factory settings and wipe out all my files if it can help me my laptop in working condition I have already backed up my important documents to USB. My next question is 1.) The recovery image that I created with the usb it's 8 compatible windows won't work if I try to do a factory reset? 2.) the recovery image I created everything with the mistakes already, will be technically 'clean', which means he has everything needed for a laptop running once I replace my hard drive or perform recovery with hard flow drive up? (3.) I will be able to restore from the recovery partition? or affect the hard drive failure that animate as well? Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance to those who can help me.

  Note: my USB flash drive is also compatible with windows 8 AND 7. Is it possible to transfer only in just a usb compatible windows 7 if I encounter problems because of the compatibility of windows 8 flash player, I used for the creation of recovery image. Thank you.

  The question of compatibility you're talking about is one where many flash drives are seen as a local instead of removable storage disk - and HP Recovery Manager wouldn't use it to create a recovery media. Since you were able to create your USB support has been recognized as compatible for use. You should be fine with recovery use.

• What is a Windows 8 certified USB flash drive?

  I just bought my 3rd USB flash drive in the hope of being able to copy my recovery image. My computer would not use the first two I tried all ports USB 4 - port 2.0 and 3.0. This time, I bought a HP flash drive who said that she supports Windows 8. I understand that I should not use a Windows 8 certified USB flash drive. Before I open this disc, I want to know if it's a. If so, I will return it not open - unlike the first two I tried.

  The States of package under requirements that Windows 8 is one of the necessary systems. For me, this does not mean that it is certified for Windows 8. Am I wrong?
  
  Computer: HP 500 - a60. 8.1 Windows (x 64)

  Hello

  Your question has not been answered by Erico on one of your other posts?

  If a piece of equipment is certified MS then it should be presented to MS for certification.  Some USB flash drives are marked on the package compatible with Windows 8, but this does not mean that the particular flash drive is "certified."

  There is to many, many USB flash drives that work with Windows 8. Some have argued that, if the USB flash drive as a 'removable' device, so it should work with the HP Recovery Media Creator.  However, I recently discovered that one of flash USB 2 (team F108 64 G) drives that I is not set up as a 'removable device' when you open my ThisPc (myPC) and it works perfectly for me.
