HP Recovery Manager and SanDisk USB flash drive

I just bought an Envy-4 ultrabook and I'm trying to create a recovery media.  I bought a 32 GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive for this purpose and even if Windows can see the disk and I can add/remove files, Recovery Manager just sits there waiting for the reader.

Is there a known issue with specific brands of flash player? -I did not need a great collection of 32 GB drives so don't want to continue to buy them until I have found one that works!

(I can't be the only person having this problem - see http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Operating-Systems-e-g-Windows-8-Software-Recovery/Hp-recovery-m... who has had more than 100 views).

HP focuses on the problems reported on flash drives doesn't work is not for the creation of recovery in Windows 8. I was told that they are working on a patch/upgrade to level for the Recovery Manager.

In the meantime, it was suggested to put in or on DVD or pick up a flash drive which is NOT a logo'd with the compatible icon Windows 8 on the package.

If none of them are acceptable to hold for the upcoming patch.

  • SanDisk USB Flash Drive & Logitech Wireless Mouse can not find the driver

    I am running Windows XP on a Dell XPS laptop.  When I joined the SanDisk Cruzer Flash Drive or a mouse with Logitech M215 wireless computer detects it and tries to load a driver but just by saying no driver found.  I use other mice wireless and other readers flash without any problems.  I went on the Web from Logitech website and SanDisk and they both say no driver required.  I contacted Logitech and they said it's a matter of Microsoft's operating system.  Where can I get a driver to run both devices.  Also when I go to the hardware profile the other device has a yellow box? next to him.  I try to uninstall the driver and updated it but without success.  Still looking for a driver.  Where can I find the driver.  Help.

    Hello

    1. have you tried plugging it into different USB ports and check?

    2. did you try to use the same flash player and mouse on another computer and check if it works there?

    3. how exactly did you uninstall the driver and reinstall it?

  • p6710f, crashes at startup when installing 2 Cruzer of Sandisk USB flash drives

    Hello

    Question: My HP p6710f desktop computer crashes at startup when 2 Sandisk Cruzer USB drive (8 GB/FAT32, a 16 GB/FAT32) is installed in a hub Targus USB2 multiport (connected to the back USB port of p6710f).

    With USB flash drives installed, from a market boot: Boot past the BIOS (blue) screens, then 'underline' cursor blinks just on the black screen and hangs.  It does not start a Win7 from the hard drive.

    With USB flash drives installed, from a bunch of market: If in the (blue) BIOS screen, I hit the ESC and select the hard disk device (which is the top of the "boot device") then boot proceeds normally and boots Win7 from the hard drive.

    If I do the trunk with the key removed USB, the boot process proceeds normally and starts Win7 disk.

    I have flashed to the latest ROM system from the support page of p6710f.  Who really seemed to solve the problem for a while, but the hook finally reappeared.

    I copied all the data on USB flash drives, formatted their 'rapid' and copied all the data back.  No joy.

    Here is a link to the Sandisk Cruzers.  I deleted all the files on U3/etc. out of them, I want all of the space available on them for auxiliary data storage, I can't boot from them:

    I just bought a Split 13 x 2 13-m110dx PC that came with Windows 8.

  • SanDisk Extreme USB Flash Drive and SMART failure

    I just got 3 64 GB SanDisk Extreme USB Flash Drives and all three show SMART failures to reassign bad sectors. I struggle to believe that all three could be bad on first use. I use a program on a Mac (SoftRAID(4)) to certify all drives prior to use, including the SD cards and USB keys. I've never seen a failure so far.

    Readers see the successful certification but present a SMART failure.

    What is a disk problem or a SMART question or what?

    Thank you

    Lief

    I agree that it is unlikely to have failed on the first use. Most likely, it is a problem with the SMART attributes. IIRC sandisk can't CHIP for this product so it formats without error, and data can be copied onto the discs with success, I wouldn't worry too much on this subject.

  • 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...

  • follow-up to the issue of data on a USB flash drive recovery

    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.

    I have Windows 8.1

    Thanks in advance for your help...

    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.

  • Satellite L675 - 11 H - cannot access and/or played on USB flash drive files

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L675 - 11H and tried to transfer files from a USB Pendrive on my hard drive from Toshiba. The files were already transferred from my old laptop (HP - XP) on my USB flash drive.

    Unable to access the USB flash drive to any of the USB ports that I connect my new laptop flash drive. What could be the problem here? Thank you for your help or tips!

    Hey Rush,

    Can you post more detailes about this behavior? What happens if you connect your laptop HARD drive, you don't see that Windows installs the drivers for the new USB device or do you have an error message? If you have connected the USB check of Windows disk management if she s recognized there (Control Panel > system and security > administrative tools).

    Have you tried other USB devices such as USB mice? If they don t work too the problem might be connected to the USB ports. In this case, you must delete all the USB ports on the Device Manager and restart your laptop. Also the chipset driver update might help.

  • 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
