Only allowed a Media USB Drive Recovery

I noticed that HP allows me only to make a recovery 'drive '.

The purpose of this is to prevent piracy of WIndows OS?

In any case, I'm a belt and Suspenders guy, and I want two, stored in two different places.

I made a disc of recovery USB thumbdrive. I can just make a copy of this?

Thank you

Yes, but you cannot copy just normally because it is not bootable. You must clone. The following Web link might help you:

  • Why HP only allow more big hard drives and SSD when restoring Images of original & software OS system?

    8.1 Windows recently damaged my PC h8-1559 (still under warranty). All was not if badly grown f11 empty blue screen and boot BSOD loop was the only thing besides the BIOS that I could see. I must have spent days trying to get Win 8 on my SSD after you purchase this month of PC. Now I have to restore PC to original specifications and again migrate the OS back to SSD. Not really a problem I expect no support, given how much anti-'customize' computers became under software and hardware developers who blame or place the responsibility on each other for the most part.

    I just want to know:

    That HP decided smaller HDD and SSD should never be allowed to use the pre-built PCs and why? More importantly, why has it remained for many years after many complaints over the years? Thank you.

    Hey Hastatus

    I can understand your frustration, but the smaller reader that works is 160 GB. The way the image is put on the disk and extended requires a lot of partitions and each of them is created to a certain height, these sizes were decided before the SSD, and when disk space was not that great, a case, but it was arbitrary. As SSD became more popular and used in some of our systems we made some special changes in plants in order to allow a 60 GB drive to use. But the changes were not made to any other builds, there was not only considered.

    As SSD became more popular, they are also grew in size, so the decision was made to leave the requirement of 160 GB. It's not a way to go back and change to the older, but we will spend this feedback to our engineering teams.

    Bottom line - usable - more small disk 160 GB regardless of the type (HDD or SSD).

    Sorry not information just solution.

  • USB drive recovery

    Hi, I am looking to get the picture of the system on a usb key. Once started I have a loop. ((a) what will be the keyboard layout b) second choice to boot from a usb device, a network or DVDs and the c) Boot from USB. I have the HP logo works for awhile and he goes to a, again and again.

    Plz help me solved this riddle.

    Greetings distinguished

    If you try to restore an Image created on a USB system, you must start in the advanced startup options, and then click System Image recovery.

  • Bootcamp does not have enough space on the USB drive.

    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to install Windows 7 on my Macbook pro mid-2012 running on El Capitan.
    I want to do with a USB key, I bought a 16 GB nine one. Try to create the USB bootable with Bootcamp, I get the error that the USB device is too small. I don't know why that it is 16 GB.

    Then I tried to format using disk utility, but I get an error.

    I tried to use the command line to do with diskutil, always get an error: impossible to disassemble the drive.

    Using diskutil I can see the USB key:

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 15.5 disk1

    1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1

    2: Apple_HFS Untitled 15.2 GB disk1s2

    I tried to erase the part EFI using gdisk, everything is ok in gdisk, I can just erase and write to the disk. But the problem is that when I unplug and re-plug the USB nothing has changed...

    Try to use under Windows (via VirtualBox) I see only a 200 Mb USB Drive.

    I don't really understand everything first:

    -Why bootcamp with the new USB has not been able to make a USB bootable for windows.
    Second:

    -Why can't I erase this USB key.

    Thanks for reading. I hope you can help me or tell me at least!

    You must delete and format the USB stick in the form of FAT. What is a USB2 flash drive? A GPT with a FAT partition will not work.

    Please see Re: Please format the USB key as a single partition FAT.? on how to do to erase/format the USB.

  • No option to create recovery/usb drives

    I used my x 220 laptop for a year now and I am trying to port my OS on to a new drive mSATA I recently installed, but cannot create recovery disks to do this. I use rescue and recovery 4.5 for windows 7, but I don't see any option to create recovery/usb disks. I see only options to create a backup of my regular HARD drive and "create recovery media", which only seems to copy the service program of rescue and recovery, thinkvantage on the USB. I know that data that are installed on the USB key is not correct because it is about 500 MB, while I've read online that the complete recovery disk should take about 8.4 GB. I also know that I never created before recovery disks. Y at - it something that I'm missing is not let me create these disks?

    is there an easier way to do this?

    It's been a while since I've done it, but it worked in all situations where I tried: call Lenovo support and declare that you are unable to create recovery discs. There are several legitimate reasons to do this, for example from my experience...

    1. my X61s did not come with a DVD player and I don't have a DVD USB drive connected.

    2. my T60p reported all kinds of program errors when I tried to use the utility provided to create diskettes.

    3. an another ThinkPad (don't remember the model number) had a HD crash under warranty. Lenovo sent me a replacement HD but I had no recovery discs. (I had backups Acronis full score but Lenovo didn't and I didn't volunteer).

    4. one of my friends refused the license agreement for Windows on its ThinkPad. Instead, he decided to try Linux. After a few weeks of frustration with Linux, he decided to return to the Windows fold. Since he had not accepted the license to the first start agreement, it had been unable to create recovery discs.

    If your system is under warranty in my experience that Lenovo will send you a set of toll-free recovery disks. You may need to be a little persistent, but as long as you keep it clean, you should get them. Note however the last time I did that was at least 3 years ago so their policy may have changed. Also note that, in any case, my request is legitimate. YMMV.

    Hi @gretschman7,

    Thank you for your query.

    I understand you are trying to perform a recovery from a USB flash drive, but you get the error "pxe - m0f: exit pxe rom.

    "no bootable device-insert bootdisk and press any".  You check the recovery media on your laptop as it is the same model and it seems fine.

    Looks like you may need to change the boot sequence. Here is a link to HP - performing a recovery system (Windows 8) HP computers that will help you.   Here is a link to a YouTube video which can also help:.  Performing a recovery of HP system on a laptop HP with Windows 8.

    Boot Mode UEFI is where you were mistaken. You will need to attach it to Legacy to boot from USB drive and restore your backup, UEFI will happen to return to Windows (according to Acer).

    Your USB flash is bootable, however it does not contain your actual backup (disk image) files. If you did your USB bootable after backup, well, your backup went, as in the process of making a USB flash drive bootable, that the drive is wiped.

    I would suggest to update your Bios, the direct download of the here are more late (2.15).

  • Windows 7 x 64 upgrd dv6500z disconnected network drives allow usb drive mapping to the same drive letter

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with the readers of network disconnected allowing for new drive usb to their drive letter mappings. I have my laptop dv6500z home with windows 7 Home premium connected to my router wirelessly with a couple of shares of x 64. Now I turned off, trip and start. All right, the drive letters show as disconnected as they should. Now I plug in a USB key and it corresponds to the drive letter of one of the disconnected actions and not a new, unassigned drive letter. In Explorer, there will still be disconnected action description. Click on it and it accesses all my files on the USB key. In admin tools/disk management, the correct label for the USB key is displayed.

    So is it a problem of HP or just a problem of Microsoft with Windows 7?

    Woody, I was able to replicate that XP is not a bug but a feature. On my laptop, it originally had vista on the c drive and a recovery on the d drive partion. There are about 1 1/2 years I have upgraded Vista to XP. Then recently updated to Windows 7. kept the 3 OS's so I got triple starting capability. Then at home, I added 3 network shares, while I was using a lot of drive letters. When actions are undone, Windows maps a USB key which has not been connected before system one of the disconnected but readers still show in Explorer, the name of the drive on the part of disconnected. However, if the USB is connected to the system before, Windows appears to map a drive letter that he remembered from before.

    In my case, Windows 7 has been installed recently, so there is no remebered for my USB drive letter. I was away from home, so I had a lot of disconnected shares. In addition, now that I got a 3rd OS added to the system, I used a lot of letters from the GET go by car. It's much more likely that I would meet this feature after installing Windows 7.

  • Pavilion dm1 making has defined using USB Flash drive recovery

    I have a Pavilion dm1 for which I tried to create a set of recovery using a USB key.  However, the Recovery Manager starts, I find I can only use discs... but the Pavilion dm1 has NO disk drive and no Center so burn discs! Am I wrong to be completely intrigued by this?  Does anyone have one idea at all, other than to buy an external disk drive that I really don't want to do?  HP will sell me an ONLY ON DISC Set Recovery but once again! It seems absurd that a piece of equipment that has no disk drive will be able to be retrieved using a disc!  I confess to being a little computer illiterate, so maybe I'm missing something.  Any help most graciously accepted.

    This utility should be able to create a USB stick recovery provided that the recovery partition is functional (it's more than likely).

    Let me know what happens.
