• Windows 7 USB Flash drive - if I click on Scan and difficulty after you insert the disk, it erases my files

  Original title: Windows 7 USB/Flash drive problems

  In Windows 7, if I plug in my USB drive, the message box appears titled ' do you want to scan and difficulty of removable disk (e :))?»  If I click on Scan and Fix, he deletes my files (or so I thought).  I hope that the files are still there and I have simply can't see because the drive is FAT32 and not NTFS (it says that most of the drive is NOT of free space, so I assume that the files are still there).  What should I do to see / access files?

  Note: A reader, I never selected "Scan and repair"... so I can still see/access files.
  On the other drive, however, the first time I plugged it on Windows 7, I clicked Scan and Fix and it erased all the files on this drive (I guess).  This of course got me very angry.

  Hi MichaelGramm,

  It seems that the file format has been corrupted. You might consider formatting the drive in NTFS file system and check if this solves the problem. For Windows 7, the best choice for hard disks is NTFS.

  Note: Make sure that you back up the data before formatting the disk.

  See these articles for more information on formatting disks and flash player:

  Caution:

  Formatting erases all existing files on a flash drive. If you format a flash disk that has files on it, the files will be deleted.

  Hope this information helps.

• 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

• WRITEBACK FAILED WITH THE NEW USB FLASH DRIVE/PEN

  I installed XP (SP3).  I recently bought a 8 GB (sandisk cruzer) flash drive and when I try and copy files on this drive, the process hangs after you copy a file and then after about a minute gives the following error message:

  "Cannot copy IMG_111: cannot find the file specified. '. Make sure you specify the correct path and name of the file. »

  Then, I get the following error message:

  "WINDOWS DELAYED WRITE FAILED.  Windows was unable to save all the data for the file H:. The data has been lost. This error can be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try and save this file elsewhere. »

  However, I have 2 other USB more former flash drives, a 512 MB which is 9 years old and a 256 MB a few years that work perfectly.

  I tried 2 other 4 GB flash drives last year - which did not work on my system, and gave the same mistakes. On this occasion, I sent the disks back thinking they were defective instead of a problem with my PC.

  All this seems to coincide with the installation of SP3.

  After talking to Sandisk, they suggested that I need to get updated drivers.

  However I dodnt know if this is the solution and if so where can I find the?

  Help!

  Please let know how you solved your problem.

• OPTION TO DELETE FAST WINDOWS 7 USB FLASH DRIVES INCLUDE SOME EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES?

  A few years ago, when I switched to smaller hard drive 640 GB HP pocket of Sandisk USB key I used the "Quick removal" option of Windows 7. "Fast moving" option includes the "Pocket reader." The reason for the request is when a Pocket drive is connected, and I right click, go through the process of menu to find the "Quick shift" box to check, it is not available. Is there a way to safely remove external hard drives without going through the routine "eject safely. Drives external hard should they be ejected safely or are "hot" or "n"playing card"or are they covered under the option"fast moving "?

  Basil,

  Thanks for your reply.

  Since my first question on this topic yesterday, I have since rediscovered the path that I took two years ago to upgrade my computers in a mode of "quick release". Affecting the computers 'Fast moving' allows me to plug the device I want to use, open the file and when you're done just to remove the USB device without formally engaging the button 'Remove the device safely' at the bottom right of the screen. The option "Fast moving" indicates it where you make your selection. That's my experience of the option "Fast moving" includes the small Sandisk readers of thumb size and big HP 640GO type readers of external pocket. I used this method for the readers of 640GO Pocket nearly two years on a daily basis with two separate HP and assorted small Sandisk flash drives. Here are the instructions to activate the "Quick removal" option, I got:

  (a) Connect USB or external storage device

  (b) click on 'computer '.

  c device), right click (the item you just plug it in)

  (d) click 'properties '.

  (e) click on "hardware".

  (f) to find the device you just plug in the list, and then click to open

  (g) click on the button 'change settings '.

  (h) click on tab 'Strategies '.

  (i) select the "Quick removal" option (default)

  (j) click on 'OK '.

  Before applying this option, I was using the option 'Remove the device safely' has not always allow me to eject safely. Many times I reboot with the element always connected to try another withdraw safely. That's my experience from two years of consistent "hot swapping" or "chart n"play"according to the method of the"rapid withdrawal"with all of the data still intact.

• A hard time with the drivers for Vista Home Premium computer laptop computer network with Windows 7

  OK, I've read tons of information on that and I'm stumped.  I have an Epson Stylus CX6600 all-in-one printer.  I have my Windows vista Home premium networking with my 64-bit Windows 7 computer.  I go to the step where the machine Vista attempts to connect to the printer on the network, then it asks a driver.  The driver file is already on the vista machine.  I installed the latest drivers from Microsoft and epson on the Windows 7 machine and he always asks a driver.  Can someone point me to the exact file name and the location of the driver in the vista vista machine so I can simply copy and point to it my windows machine 7.  I did the updates from Microsoft to get all the latest drivers.  Thank you.

  You do not install the Vista drivers on Windows 7 computer.

• 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.

  good day... I have problem with all the USB flash drive... before, I can see flash drives in my computer and browse its content but now Windows does not show it in workstation.  Windows can still recognize flash drives but it will show under devices instead of workstation.  However, when I tried to browse the content of the flash player, I received this message: "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator. "Because of this restriction, I can no longer navigate and access my files in my flash drive.  I check my user account and see that I am, log in as an administrator.

  I tried the solution to uninstall and reinstall the USB controllers and editing the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\USBSTOR 'start = 3'), but nothing helped.  The problem is still there.  I can still access the files in my flash disk.  Moreover, my flash drives work perfectly well on other computers.
  Please help... Thank you very much.

• How to format my USB after making it bootable with Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool

  I used the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to make my bootable usb key. But now I can't format it. When I open my computer and connect my USB it is shown as a cd. Also when I go into disk management it is shown that two disks hard each of them Go 99,76 and a CD-ROM that has 1123,13 GB RAW. I've tried a few programs for formatting, but they say that it is protected against copying. Is it possible that I can use as a normal USB again?
  Thank you very muck for your help.

  Hi mifocc,

  ·         What is the brand and model of the USB?

  Check if there is no slide switch on the side that provides protection against Scripture. This spectacle of a lock closed and open on each side.

  I suggest you follow these steps.

  (1) Insert the USB key into the USB port.

  2) click Start, type devmgmt.msc in the search text box and press ENTER.

  (3) find hard drives and expand it.

  (4) find the USB flash drive you want to format, and then double-click it. He opens the Properties dialog box.

  5) click on the policies tab.

  (6) the default option optimize for quick removal of the selected options, put it to optimize for performance, and then press OK.

  (7) now, open computer. Right click on the USB Flash drive and select format. The Format dialog box will now appear.

  (8) in the file system field, select NTFS.

  9) Press Start and wait while the process will be completed.

  You can also connect the USB on a different computer and try formatting.
