How to make a Lenovo 8 Gb USB stick bootable?

Hi all

I hope someone can advise me.

I purposely bought a number of 8 sticks Go Lenovo USB in order to make them bootable so that I can load quickly on new devices operaing systems. But what I can? No question.

The ugly key lock software to do so.

I can't delete or resize to leave them, and I can't remove key lock system files (type attrib commands do not work).

I searched around help and found this: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-43556

But this doesn't seem to work on this particular model of Lenovo USB (ASM 41U3008, FRU 41U3009).

Is anyone able to advise? At the present time, these USB keys are useless and a waste of money. Is it because I bought the ULTRASUR version? But there must be a work around?

Kind regards.

GC

the security option is already integrated in the USB hardware.

Thus, it is not possible to remove.

    The best way to make a usb bootable with Windows XP is to use Almeza Multiset 8.3.0 It is totally automated. It will use either a Windows Xp folder that you created on your disk or an iso image of Windows Xp. You can use the trial version that the software is not free.

    On another note, I can't even begin to wonder why you are using Windows Xp (especially reception) on this system.

  • How to make a backup recovery disk (usb) for my new XPS8700?

    Hello

    Please bear with me as I'm pretty much computer illiterate.

    I just bought a Dell XPS8700 with Win8.1 for my partner for Christmas.  It came with 2 TB HD cache & 32 GB of SSD.  Round 6 months. from now on I intend to buy a 120 GB SSD for upgrading its system & will use for the operating system.   I do not know how to do this (I have an idea... looked. vids online, etc.), but what I need to know is > how to make a backup for its new computer recovery disk (so that I can put it aside for when I get the new SSD).  I don't even know if that's actually what you still call it (recovert disc?) or if it is called "backup of factory drive?

    Basically, I want to put Win8.1 on a USB key so I can use this more later to reinstall it on an SSD.

    I bought a Lexar 32 GB USB (3.0) to use for this.

    Can someone "please" give me a step by step on how to go about doing this?

    Thank you!

  • How to make an ESXi backup on USB?

    I have a few servers ESXi 4.1 on USB keys. Now I wonder how can I save the config ESXi and USB itself, in which case the USB will be dead or damaged? One of the USB key on a single server is already showing the signs to go to rest forever, and I would like to have a backup of it. Is there a tool I can use to create a backup on another USB key?

    xcom1000 wrote:

    Thanks, I was looking for some kind of script. And the backup process itself is ok, but the restore configuration procedure needs to be alive and running of the ESXi host. So in case of emergency (USB key works do not), what would be the correct procedure to restore the server without hollow is a complete reinstallation of ESXi and reload the config with vicfg-cfgbackup?

    Well, everything depends on how many ESXi servers you have.

    If you have small env is not worth to spend a lot of time for preparation of extra super recovery too. I don't know anyone who supports up that ESX or ESXi breaks.

    For small env:

    1. PowerCLI script -you can create the script CLI power for each of your guests with specific parameters

    http://communities.VMware.com/community/VMTN/Server/vSphere/automationtools/PowerCLI

    Catering requirements:

    ESXi server must be running in - running

    restore procedure

    manual installation of ESXi (15 minutes), after installation, run a script (2 minutes) against the new server and DONE

    2. with the help of vMA

    Create a bash script that would back up ESXi firmware, set it on a weekly basis in crone (on the server of the vMA)

    Restore requirements

    ESXi server must be running

    ESXi must be on that same level as if it were before the construction accident

    restore procedure

    manual installation of ESXi (15 minutes), after installation restore a Firmware using the new server and DONE

  • Make Ubuntu 14.04 to Windows 7 using a USB stick bootable Windows 7

    I use Ubuntu 14.04 on an i5 Envy of HP Touchsmart, however, I want to upgrade to Windows 7.

    I have a bootable windows disc 7. I changed in the BIOS boot sequence, so it runs first of usb, but unfortunately it is able to pass on the Ubuntu operating system. I also tried openinig the executable installer using 'wine' of usb and I get this error after clicking on "install Windows 7":

    Error:

    "Windows is unable to find a place to store temporary installation files. To install windows, make sure that a partition on your boot disk has at least 699 MB of free space.  "Error code: 0 x 80070490.

    I have over 200GB of disk space. I think I may have to use "gparted partition editor" but I'm not familiar with it either.

    Use your Ubuntu installation media to format and delete all partitions including the partition of Grub.

    May I ask how you created your bootable Windows 7 USB copy? It is possible, that it might not be bootable. I suggest that you make sure you follow the instructions below to create a bootable copy below:

    After graduating the .iso file, you can use the built-in Image disc burning tool or Microsoft .iso to USB/DVD tool to create a bootable DVD or USB (requires a blank DVD or USB flash to at least 4 GB key).

    After downloading the. ISO file, right click and click burn disc image

    Insert a blank DVD

    Click on burn

    Windows 8/8.1 users can mount the. ISO file and start the upgrade automatically. More here

    Important:

    If you create a USB startup key, make sure the USB is first in the FAT32 format.

    Connect the USB

    Open Computer

    Click with the right button on USB

    Click on Format

    Make sure that FAT32 is selected as the file system.

    For UEFI systems based

    If your computer is UEFI, they are normally the systems that come pre-loaded with Windows 8 or later, you need prepare the ISO for such a configuration file or you will receive an error during installation. 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.

    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

    Try to start it again, make sure that you select and remove each partition, select it the disk partition not allocated, click New and then select the larger of the main partition and then click next to install.

  • How to make Toshiba USB 250 GB HARD drive read-only?

    Hello

    I just plug a Toshiba USB 250g external hard drive to replace all the sticks of memory, I've been using.

    I'll use this external hard drive to copy files to other computers and I would like to know how to make the drive read-only.

    Moreover, all the other tips to protect the disc would be extremely welcome.

    I use a Dell with Windows 7 laptop.

    Thank you very much

    Dougal

    I don't know what HARD drive you have exactly, but I know that Toshiba offers a software protection with external hard drives.
    Did you check manuals? Is something like that provided with your HARD drive?

    Maybe you need to use some third party software part for the protection of files on the HARD drive. Google all over the place.

  • How to make still photos of my camera of Lenovo to the appropriate library to upload on a social networking site (Facebook, not)?

    First of all, I'm 50 years old and I grew up in the time before the PC, so I am very naïve.

    I have a laptop from Lenovo and it has a camera in it. I recently discovered that it can take still pictures, so I took some pictures of me.

    Now I want to download pictures to an online community, I belong to where I have a profile. But the photos are not in my images on Microsoft Word, or in Windows Media Player or any library I can find.  They are in the box in the photo section.  How can I get them on the part of the camera on the computer in a place where I can then download them to my profile online? Where should I store, and how to make them here?
    I appreciate your help.

    Hi James,

    I see you want to download photos of the Lenovo built in webcam for a social networking site still. I'll help you with this problem.

    1. what operating system is installed on the computer?

    2. what security software is installed on the computer?

    Please follow these steps and let us know the status.

    1 - click on "Start" and start the webcam software. Every computer manufacturer take its computers ready webcam with a specific software for the control of the camera.

    2 - Click on 'Snapshot' or 'Take picture' (or similar) in the program to capture still images. Most of the programs of webcam show you what see your webcam, as soon as the program is open. When you move, the webcam image also moves. Specific commands vary from one program to a program and manufacturer in the manufacturers, but the standard webcam software has a "snapshot" command to take a picture.

    3 - Click on 'Tools' and 'Settings' (once again, or similar) to change the way the webcam records still images. You can configure the quality of the photos up to a preset maximum resolution. A webcam software allows you to save a series of images or to add digital effects to the pictures. That depends on the camera photo and its software by default, too. While in the 'Settings' window, find out where the pictures are stored. Each program stores pictures in a different location.

    4 - Click 'Start' and 'Computer' to open a file browser. Find the folder where the webcam stores its photos of step 3 to change the photos with a graphics program or to delete and rename files. To send photos to your friends and family, open your email and attach photos to this folder. Webcams store photos in smaller resolutions, so you never get hurt to send these files as attachments, even with a very slow Internet connection.

  • How to make a USB stick into a bootable image

    I did a complete reinstall of windows xp to sp3

    I'm doing a usb key that will start a linux system

    usb in question has been used before on a windows vista and windows 7 and starting machine

    Why can I not make an usb device bootable on windows xp machine work?

    The problem is probably not the key USB but the BIOS that is loaded onto your computer motherboard.  When Windows XP came out, USB was relatively new and had not reached the sophistication to address such opportunities that boot from USB.  Things have changed a bit since then and newer machines have no problem using USB as a bootable media.  Your only chance would probably be to see if there is an updated BIOS available for your machine.  You can check your manufacturer's Web site or the Web site of the manufacturer of your motherboard to see if one is available.  Do your homework and proceed with caution because an installation or an update of the BIOS failed can easily turn your computer into a boat anchor.

    You can consider using a Linux boot CD instead of the USB key for this computer.

    I signed up for Apple music and since then I can't synchronize playlists from my computer to my phone because it says I have iTunes game turned on, but I do not subscribe to iTunes recently Match (ish). How to make this stop?

    Hello

    You cannot synchronize in usb or wifi if you subscribe to the Apple's music. The basic principle of the AM is that your iTunes library is scanned to determine what can be matched or must be downloaded. Once completed, all the music you will be available to listen to or download on your iOS device.
