Hello


Try the drive in another computer.
Check with the manufacturer of the USB support. Some readers have a small switch on them which activate protection to write.

    Hi all! I'm running Mac OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro and I was wondering how I could use a blank DVD-R disc as a form of rewriting for documents, music, spreadsheets, etc. ? My mac Let's burn me to the disc, but I can't rewrite to it after that. Help, please!

    They don't work that way. Rewritable means simply you can erase the disc and use it again. You can't write it during normal use of the disk. This, to a USB flash drive.

    To be same rewritable, you can use a DVD - RW, DVD - r not it is not rewritable. You can look for third-party software that allow you to use the drive as a flash drive, but I am not sure that these programs exist. Not much need for it.

  • 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

  • Identified as write protected USB flash drive

    USB flash drive, identified as write protected, trying to create the boot USB back disk.

    Hi Mel,

    Write protection is a feature found on many different types of media. When the write protection is turned on, you will be able to view the information on the disc or USB key, but you won't be able to write or transfer information to it. Write protection is an element of protection which prevents accidental deletion of important data.

    To remove the write Protection, try these suggestions.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to follow the steps and check if the problem persists.

    a. open 'My computer'.

    b. right-click on the USB key and select 'Properties'.

    c. uncheck the 'read-only' if it is enabled.

    Note: Click Yes when the option appears saying 'apply changes to subfolders and files writable in this folder '.

    d. click on 'apply' and 'Ok '.

    e. try to delete the files.

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, I suggest trying the steps and check if that helps.

    a. open the Start menu and in the search bar type regedit and press enter. The Registry Editor opens.

    b. navigate to the following location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

    Note: If the StorageDevicePolicies registry key does not exist, you must create it manually.
    c. highlight the Strategies of storage devicesand then create a new DWORD called (32-bit) as write protect.

    d. Double click on the key recording in the right window and set the value to 0 in the value data box , and then press the OK button.

    e. restart the computer and try formatting USB key.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • NB100 - How can I reinstall OS from USB flash drive

    My laptop TOSHIBA NB 100 has no CD-DVD player.
    Operating system is Windows XP Home SP2.

    Operating system won't start.

    Laptop start not at all so I can't run any kind of test when I turn it on.

    The thank you screen come on it says launch safe mode, the networking of safe mode, safe mode comand prompt or start windows normally. But no matter who I chose, that it does not start it only goes to Windows and looks like its starts but then shows the blue Windows screen & stays there.

    So I want to reload Windows from my USB flash drive.
    The BIOS boot sequence is the USB HDD - FDD - FD - CD memory.

    What are the steps for loading Windows USB flash drive?

    If that does not work then I want to connect another laptop with Windows CD in the CD - DVD drive laptop.
    Will this work? The laptop will use the Windows CD in the drive of the laptop to load the operating system?
    How to make this connection?

    Hello

    You usually have an external USB CD/DVD drive to boot from the Windows XP disc or the Toshiba recovery disc.

    But there is a method that allows you to install Win XP using the 2 GB USB key.
    This is possible because the NB100 BIOS supports booting from USB key.

    Pease check this Web page:

  • cRIO: build the path to write tdms file on a USB flash drive

    I wrote the code in figure 1 below, for open & create a file tdms on my USB flash drive that is plugged into the USB cRIO.

    The added path tdms is shown in figure 2 below.

    But I get the error in figure 3 below. I wonder how I can solve this problem.

    Cashany,

    Make sure that the USB is formatted in FAT32 as the cRIO cannot mount NTSF or other file systems.

    In addition, and this is potentially very important:

    There is a known memory leak problem that is easy to avoid the code with the help of PDM on the cRIO (without code changes!).

    This problem only occurs on vxWORKS targets (e.g., cRIO-9014), not on the PharLap targets (as I know).

    The problem occurs when you close a PDM file reference, the vxWORKS OS can't properly unload the PDM library. Next time you open a PDM, the library reference is loaded again, if for a very long time you will run out of memory.

    The solution is very simple:

    on your cRIO, locate the file or - rt.ini, then scroll down to the section [LVRT] of the ini file and locate the key called "StartupDlls".

    Make sure 'tdms.out' is included. For example, according to your cRIO, it may look like this:

    StartupDlls = nisysrpc.out; NiRioRpc.out; NiViSrvr.out;

    In this case, you would change the line to look like this:

    StartupDlls = nisysrpc.out; NiRioRpc.out; NiViSrvr.out; TDMS.out;

     

    This will prevent the LabVIEW runtime on the cRIO trying to unload the PDM library, forcing to be in memory of start up to eternity. This avoids the memory leak that you would otherwise experience.

    Good luck!

    Q

  • What is the best method to add data to a file stored on a usb flash drive to avoid too many write cycles?

    Hello

    I'm trying to store an important data on a cRIO sampled stream in the USB flash drive.

    I believe that there are two ways to add data to a file:

    1. open the file outside of the loop, then write to the file loop, then close the file outside the loop.

    Pros; More quickly and efficiently than the opening and closing of files in a loop is resource heavy equipment.

    Disadvantages; If the program fails partially through, all data is lost.

    2. open the file, write to the file and close the file, all in the loop.

    With the advantages and disadvantages as opposed to option 1.

    As my cRIO is finally deployed in a hostile environment and data are valuable and processing speed is not an issue of concern in this project, I'm leaning towards option 2, but after a few basic calculations that I realize that I'll be writing/opening/closing the file of thousands of times and I wanted to know if this will wear out the flash memory?

    My uncertainty is due to not understanding what happens when a file is opened written to and closed.  He writes the new data to new areas of the flash, or it write all data on top?  The latter would cause me problems not too long term!

    Any help gratefully received.

    A big thank you and best regards,

    Ed

    The 'magic' is not in the File Format (PDM vs vs binary text), but in the "life" of the file.  This solution creates a file of 24 hours and maintains a different file for each day.  If the USB "dies", you lose everything you have not backed up somewhere.  If the program dies (or errors), you lose the data for the current day.  You end up with multiple files (which can be a more or less), but we must still make the trade-off between (duration) of the file and the file number opens (which relates to your concern for the longevity of the USB).  By the way, I suspect that a good quality USB key (it's what you mean, right?  Or do you mean a hard drive USB powered?  Comments probably apply both) can predict today to not die on you, everything just because you make a lot of reads/writes (of course, you could get in-a-thousand...).
