I have recovery disks but no disk drive. Is it possible to copy discs on an external hard drive with another laptop

I have a HP 15 Notebook PC with no dvd player recently sent me the CD of HP system recovery. I don't have an external dvd drive. What I have is a portable Toshiba Satelight with Windows 7 and a good dvd player. I also have an external hard drive to 500 GB. I thought maybe I could copy the disks on the external hard drive with the Toshiba dvd player. Then attach the external hard drive to my HP 15 laptop by usb port and install Hp recovery disks from the external hard drive. Is someone can you please tell me if HRT is possble. Thank you very much.

Have seen others try this and fail miserably. I also saw a few attempt to copy on USB stick with the same end result.

Save yourself a lot of grief and borrow or buy a USB CD/DVD drive.

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on external HARD disk

    That is the problem.

    A friend with a Toshiba laptop (do not know the model right, but probably with win7 - 6 month old machine) has a problem with the internal hard drive.
    He crashed and his does not work.

    It has the toshiba recovery CD and an external hard drive.
    Is it possible for him to install win 7 on the external hard drive?

    (the easy medium woyld be buying a new in-house but for the next 2 months because of his work that it is impossible).

    Hello

    I don t think that it would be possible to install the Windows 7 external HARD disk.
    You should replace the internal HARD disk and should put the new HARD drive in the laptop.
    Then you should be able to install Windows 7 on the new HARD disc.

    Good luck

    Hi ya'll! I'm still learning how to navigate my way with Lightroom. (Last time I wrote, I got a few responses that work.) Thank!) Now, I have another question. When I try to copy photos to my external hard drive to a CD/DVD, no matter if do leave LR or my car, I get the message; "Disc burning is not supported by LR on this computer." I've tried everything I can think of, so, I thought I'd see if anyone can find out if there is something I can do. Or could it be that my computer just can't handle it? Help! So frustrating!  I have a Lenovo PC, I don't know if that makes a difference. Any ideas? Thanks a lot for your help!

  • Qosmio X 500 - 10W - can I replace the HARD drive with another?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio X 500 - 10W with two drive HARD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500 GB 5400 RPM 8 MB? SATA II but is one of the hs so I'm wondering if I can be replaced by a more powerful style, drive HARD 750 GB 7200 RPM / min 16 MB Toshiba courses?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Your question is a bit hard to understand, but I think you want to replace the HARD drive with another (faster) model, right?

    Well, that s no problem. 7200 RPM hard drives works, they are a little stronger, but they're faster so if you need more performance without problem.
    750 GB or more are also no problem because the SATA interface is not the limited capacity. Theoretically 1 TB or more should also work.

    Anyway, you can buy the 750Go you mentioned that it will work. :)

  • Using Sansung S3, not yet possible to share all the tabs opened (using NFC) with another phone NFC. But only the a main tab, I'm currently browsing is possible.

    Sansung S3 using, Android 4.1.2 Firefox 24.0; not yet possible to share all the tabs opened (using NFC) with another phone NFC. But only the a main tab, I'm currently browsing is possible to share. It is the function of current NFC function of Firefox?
    If so, when will it feature to share all the tabs?
    Thank you.

    I don't know if we implement this. Sharing of all the tabs you have open have many security and privacy issues. Someone forget that they had a tab open, they didn't want to share or miss-clicks on the sharing of all the option.

    We are looking for ways to better share tabs with devices that are located nearby. Especially if they are on the same WiFi network.

    can I share documents in iCloud drive with another drive to iCloud user?  If so, how to do that?

    No, at the present time, iCloud is configured for use by a single account to share data between devices of the owner of this account.  Your best bet for what you are looking for would be to use a third party application like Dropbox or Google Drive.

  • Product recovery / disk drive not recognized

    I am trying to achieve a waste product on a Toshiba Satellite running Windows Vista. I followed the instructions provided with the product recovery disc (insert the disc, restart your computer, press F12). While the recovery was then frozen at about 30%. I rebooted the machine, but when it restarted the DVD player was no longer recognized. Whenever I start the laptop now the Windows Boot Manager opens. The instructions given here ask me to insert the disc and restart your computer, however since the DVD player is not seen it won't work.

    Info given by the Windows Boot Manager: -.

    ' File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe.
    Status: 0xc000000f
    Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged. »

    I tried-
    -Copy the files from the recovery disk of the product on a USB key, then from the laptop using this. When I do this the pen drive shows up as an option but a startup message appears that says that the USB is not an operating system.
    -J' have conducted an audit of the portable computers memory which showed none of the corrupt files.

    > Copy the files from the recovery disk of the product on a USB key, then from the laptop using this. When I do this the pen drive shows up as an option but a startup message appears that says that the USB is not an operating system.

    It will not work. This recovery image cannot be started from a USB flash key.
    I guess that your CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc properly. Who knows why
    But you can try to copy the recovery on another disk CD or DVD using a different computer.
    I noticed that the number of different CD/DVD drives cannot manage some disks
    Sometimes, this problem of compatibility

    However, if you have the ability to copy this disc to another, then do it.
    Maybe it would work.

    Hello:

    If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number to order a set of recovery disks.

    1-800-334-5144

    Here's the catch... of Professional PC HP (at least those I've owned or possessed), you get a 2-4-disc set that you have to install in the order, and they install the operating system and drivers automatically.

    In other words, it is not a separate operating system disk and driver disk.
