Envy 15 t: using a USB key as the recovery media

The instructions of assistant decision-making support, that the thumbdrive are not compatible with Windows 8 ?

The computer is a computer of Windows 8 (actually the 8.1).  Recovery files would be (probably) 8.1 recovery of files.

However, it seems that the recovery thumbdrive must be compatible?

What I don't understand? ..... Izzy

Hi @Izzy11201 ,

Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 laptop and issues using a USB key as the recovery media.

I think that the laptop it tell you that the Thumbdrive could not be formatted for all functions of Windows 8. It doesn't have to be 32 GB and is compatible to Windows 8 to create a recovery USB Flash disk. Here is a link to the creation of recovery disks or USB in Windows 8 flash player, if you need it.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

  • Problems when I want to update my complete system Mavericks using a USB key with the installation program.

    I want to "Refresh" my Mavericks home cleaning system and I still have a USB key with the complete installation program.

    With this USB key, I installed successfully already before Mavericks. Now, I want to repeat the installation by booting from USB key. But when the installation starts early an alert appears, said something like "... the verification failed - something is changed on the volume...". "and the cant of the installation continues.

    I've archived the original "OS X Mavericks installieren.app" from the app store and I have properly prepared another USB key using the terminal app, referencing the original installer, but I still get this alert when I try to install with this new USB.

    It is necessary for me to work with the Mavericks, because it's the latest version of the system on which I can run Adobe Creative Suite CS6 correctly. With the later versions of OS X, I get problems on my Mac Pro (end of 2008).

    I wonder what could happen with my first USB data, as I have already installed Mavericks successfully with it under the same conditions and after that he never touched the stick again so far. What can I do? What is the reason for this? Y at - there a site where I can get help or advice to solve the problem or if necessary can I re-download an Installer 'fresh '?

  • USB key contains a recovery media - I can save other data on this USB key?

    I saved a recovery media on a 32 GB USB flash drive. Recovery media occupies only about 10 GB to 32 GB flash disk.

    With 20 GB left, I like to use the remaining space for the conservation of the docs/pix/vids using the Windows ReadyBoost feature.

    I wonder... can I use this USB (containing the recovery media) for other things?

    Please let me know.

    My computer information: HP Pavilion p6877, Windows 7 (64 bit) desktop PC.

    It is not recommended that you store other files on a USB flash drive or use it as a Windows ReadyBoost device. You can use for these functions, but you run the risk of corrupting the image of HP recovery.

    Hello

    During the installation of Windows 7 or 8.1 using a USB stick - get the message "cannot be installed, it is a GPT partition.

    I have 64 bit install discs for Win 7 and Win 8.1. These two install on my desktop in duel boot. I made a Flash DRIVE of each disk so I can install it more quickly.

    Problem: I get the cannot install because it is a GPT partition.

    Y at - there no way to make these 2 USB sticks work?

    Thank you, Brad

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    Your computer does not have Microsoft's Downgrade rights and you must buy a copy of Windows 7 with a valid Microsoft COA and product key.

    The screenshots below is from a laptop HP 15 t-j100... options and the configuration on your computer screens may differ.

    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

    After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

    If you install Windows 7 from a USB and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '.

    In addition, as the factory hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Windows vista USB flash drive installation AND recover the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disk

    Hi all

    I formatted my laptop some time ago. Now I want to reinstall windows vista (came along with my laptop). The thing is due to a problem that my CD drive does not work so I would like to install windows vista by using a USB key. Can you get it someone please let me know if this is possible... If Yes, how I've go ahead make a bootable USB.

    As someone can tell me if there is a way to retrieve the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disc.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    This can help, but you will need a Vista system to create the working bootable USB key:http://www.askvg.com/how-to-create-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-windows-vista/

    As for the product key, it should be on a sticker on the laptop (usually on the bottom). If it is not readable, contact the manufacturer for further assistance. As we said already, the product key is not on the installation disc.

    Replace broken laptop optical drives is not too difficult, you can see this as another option.

I can use it but it is very difficult, see a mosquito net and not perfectly clear, works well. lol someone knows somewhere or that would install a new screen for a reasonable price?

    I have reinstall a new key with the same version of esxi 3.5 and assigned the same IP address to the host.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    It's not good

    Are you sure that your storage space is not the original problem?

    If you start from USB, and the key fails, ESXi will continue to function until you restart the box. ESXi RAM tracks

    If your storage space is 100%, you can try the following

    Advanced settings under configuration if I remember correct:

    EnableResignature change to 0

    Replace disallowSnapshotLun with 0 as well.

    A new analysis of the storage card at least 2 times

    Change the values back to 1 if it works

  • Can we use this product key on the back of the laptop for the activation and the windows 7 Professional 32-bit to windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade?

    I have a laptop HP originally shipped with windows 7 32-bit professional. Now I want to upgrade to windows 7 professional 64 bit. I don't have with me installation disk. So I thought that it is possible (and legal) to resume an installation of windows 7 professional 64 bit disc from a friend and use this product key on the back of my laptop computer to activate windows after the installation of 64-bit? I'm a bit confused.

    NOTE: This sticker on the laptop has windows 7 pro oa, and a product key to 25 digits (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx) written on it.

    In addition, the product ID in the information system in the control panel is OEM.

    Yes, you can use the product key located on the COA sticker with a full retail version or the version upgrade Windows 7 Professional disc.

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

    Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:
    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
