• Convert recovery Recovery DVD or USB HARD drive bootable disk

  Maybe someone can help me.

  * System: *.
  Toshiba Satellite L-300-1AY
  Model #: PSLB8E
  SN: Y8099024Q
  Currently using Win - Vista Home Premium

  I had to replace my HARD drive due to the failure; new drive works OK. I restored my SW to an old backup made by Acronis using a USB to start Acronis recovery and DRANK files on my external USB HDD.
  I have restored the drives C and D as well as WinRE.
  I want to reset the system to factory State and start all over again!

  Unfortunately, I can not do a factory using F8 restore, because this option is now not available to me more. F8 suggests restore from optical discs

  So I charge my DVD recovery disc I made a long time ago. to my surprise, the ODD does not read the disc. I can't read any CD or DVD, and I assume that my ODD is dead. I checked the DVD media on another computer: they are OK.

  On another system, I created a rescue with Parted Magic CD. My STRANGE drive could read this CD although very slowly: surprise!

  * My QUESTION *.
  * I would like to create a bootable USB drive where I want to do a factory restore without using my odd.*

  I have the Toshiba Recovery DVD discs, I have a copy of the SW recovery, which normally resides on the D drive, I have a copy of Windows re.

  Already, I have created a bootable USB key that I copied the contents of the Recovery DVD. Start on the key works fine but it gets stuck fast because it is waiting for drive (STRANGE) E to prepare. (Eventually!) seems obvious that these disc is intended to be used on a WEIRD drive.

  Is it possible I want to do?
  Thanks for any help or suggestion (other than the purchase of a new ODD!)

• How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery

  How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery because I want to recover my toshiba satellite L840 that does not respond directly to my hard drive so I put my laptop to an external HARD drive and then I want to copy a DVD recovery partition

  Your question is a bit confusing, you can boot the laptop at all? Have you tried booting in safe mode, you can make a recovery DVD set from there, the folder Toshiba.

  With the drive in the Toshiba, you should be able to use a F, F10, F11, or F12 key to activate the installation from the partition hidden started upward.

  Otherwise, you can contact Toshiba, and with the model of the product id number and the laptop for Windows, you can buy a set of disks.

• Can I use the HP Recovery partition after formatting and partitioning the rest of the hard drive?

  I recently had my HP Pavilion dv4 2145dx laptop (Windows 7 64-bit) go kerput.  The Geek Squad said that the motherboard is dead.  I bought a laptop and I use this one for now, and I use the former dv4 as external hard drive.

  I intend to continue to use the hard drive from the old dv4 as an external unresolved for now, but I wish we could fix the dv4 at some point in the future.  Here's the problem: to get the most out of the former dv4 as external drive, I want to repartition it so that there is an NTFS partition and one HFS partition +.  This way I could easily use it with my Mac and Windows machines.

  But if I do that, I'm not sure if the image of HP recovery would continue to operate.  If it does not, then if/when I get the old dv4 a new motherboard, I couldn't restore the operating system from the recovery partition.  It is a problem, because I have not create recovery disks (stupid, I know - I'm definitely making them for the new machine).

  So, I want to do these two things:

  (1) create my dv4 recovery disks.  Can I do this if the dv4 drive is mounted in an external enclosure?

  (2) format and partition the drive dv4 (the leaving intact recovery partition) and later to recover the system from the recovery partition.  The recovery partition would continue to operate in these conditions?

  Thanks for any help that anyone is obtained.

  Hello:

  What you do to the C:\drive will make the ineffective recovery partition.

  You will not be able to create a set of recovery discs unless the drive is usable in Notepad.

  Can you still read all 25 characters of your product key of W7 on the bottom of your laptop broken?

  If so, you can do this...

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  Or, you can probably still order a set of recovery disc for your HP laptop.

• Satellite 2450-101: can I run recovery external HARD drive or USB key using

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite 2450-101, on which the DVD player seems to have failed (could be engine, laser; uncertain).

  I want to perform a full restore of the product, using both disks that came with the computer.
  Defective hard drives before, I copied the data on these disks to an external hard drive and a usb flash drive.

  Is it possible for me to run the recovery of the proceeds of one of these media (or indeed any source, other than the internal DVD player)?

  Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. See you soon.

  > Defective hard drives before, I copied the data on these disks to an external hard drive and a usb flash drive.
  > Is it possible for me to run the recovery of the proceeds of one of these media (or indeed any source, other than the internal DVD player)?
  Hmmm I doubt that this can be possible because it is not possible to boot from a USB flash or external HARD disk drive.

  What you could do is to copy the folder the original Microsoft CD i386 on the HARD drive and then you can run setup.exe from this folder.
  It would begin installing the XP installation program.

  But Toshiba Recovery disk contains only image files and there is no i386 folder and therefore, you need the CD of XP Ms.

• HP ProBook 450 G: drive recovery on external hard drive

  Hello!

  I had a few questions.

  I have a HP ProBook G2 450 with Windows 8.1 now, I wanted to create a disk recovery, but on an external hard drive. Is it so that it is not possible to put it on an external hard drive? When I try to make a recovery it says I should use one with at least 16 GB USB Flash drive. So this means that I could not even do a DVD recovery disc?

  And I would also know, if I put teaching 10 Windows (as our University offers), is possible later use the 8.1 Windows recovery disc to return to 8.1?

  Eager to help!

  Hello

  Please use a few DVDs or good USB. The USB will be write-protected therfore no point to use the external HARD drive because you will not be able to use your external HARD drive, only read. Normally, you have 2 options: use of DVD or USB.

  Yes, you can use recovery media to go back to your orginal Windows 8.1.

  Note: you can create recovery media once.

  Kind regards.

• Starting from installation, recovery - on - external hard drive

  Computer: Gateway MD2614u laptop, AMD Turion X 2 64-bit processor, designed for Windows Vista

  External hard drive: WD My Book Essentials (surrounded by Western Digital 500 GB drive external hard)

  Background: laptop was dropped, crushed physically the internal hard drive, all other aspects of the laptop appear to be in working condition.

  Vista says: Windows Setup cannot install another USB or IEEE 1394 device.

  It is important to note that the external drive is a SATA.  ALSO that there is NO hard drive internal to the computer right now.

  I pulled the drive from its casing and place in my desktop computer.  I have installed Vista in this way, and placed the disc in its case, confident, would solve the problem.  "The found operating system"

  I wiped the drive and tried again, this time using my Windows 7 to format the drive make a primary partition active and used the WD SmartWare to disable the password on the external, as well as VCD (Virtual CD, which contains the software for backup on and retrieve the external hard drive) on the outside.  Then installed Vista back once again, the drive in the enclosure, and again, I got 'the operating system not found '.

  I tried to use the "gateway recovery disc" the computer asked me to do immediately after I ran it the first time.  They have installed the Vista gateway on the external hard drive without any problem, the recovery software has taught me that I had to press OK to restart the computer, but again once 'the operating system not found"happens.  I advanced and rebooted the computer out of habit and that the computer starts in what concerns the loading of "microsoft" bar (the green bar moving left to right while loading vista), and then it restarted itself.  This new responsible for the 'green bar' and restarted again.

  3 times I let him, then I placed the regular 64 bit Vista disc in the status bar and try a startup repair.  "Windows cannot resolve the problem, do you want to send the information to Microsoft" or something that nearby.

  I then tried using the disk for 32-bit Vista in the same way.

  32 bit Vista disc completed the repair, but now the 'green bar' vista loading screen comes up, runs for a few seconds, and then I get a quick flash of a blue screen, and until I can see what he says, the computer restarts.

  Help!

• Using a Mac to partition a USB external hard drive to use to start Windows 7 on a PC

  Hello

  My PC hard drive died recently, and I need to reinstall Windows 7. Fortunately, I have a Windows 7 .iso file on my Macbook Pro. I also have an external hard drive USB empty. I try to use the Mac (in particular the disk utility program) partition this hard drive and load the .iso file in it, with the intention to start the system and install Windows 7 on my PC. (NB. I have a new internal hard drive which I intend to install Windows on to, but it's something that I should be able to handle later and should not be relevant at the moment.)

  As my DVD player also decided to break (I had not used for a long time), I can't burn the .iso to disk image file and start that way.

  So my question is, what is actually in all possible ways to use my WD 500 GB external hard drive to boot Windows 7 from USB? If so, is it possible to configure the hard disk with the .iso image file using a mac? I think I need somehow do "bootable" my hard drive to boot from it, but I don't know how to do this using a mac, so that it will be compatible for Windows startup.

  I've had this problem for days now and nothing I try seems to work - I tried what seems like all combinations of formatting, partitioning, extracting, BIOS-set-up-ing and file-system-change I can think of. Any help will be really appreciated. Also, if you need information such as specifications, just let me know and I will try to provide all the details I can.

  In addition, I understand that there a lot of messages on the boot from external hard drives, but I looked carefully and found nothing for my situation (more precisely using a mac).

  Thanks in advance for help; If all goes well there is something obvious that I'm missing that I can fix it easily.

  Hi Michael,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  From your problem description, I understand you want to make bootable Windows 7 disk using Mac computer.

  About a tool to burn an iso image on Mac, I suggest you contact apple support.

  https://discussions.Apple.com/community/desktop_computers

  However, as a solution, I suggest to go to one of your friend who has the operating system windows download Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool and burn the iso image.

  Detailed suggestions are mentioned in the following article:

  I hope this helps. If the problem persists or all linked windows queries or issues related to the Windows operating system, please get back to us. We are here to help you.

• Cannot access an external hard drive lost, encrypted BitLocker recovery key and do not know where to enter the password to unlock it.

  I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-Bit on a Sony Vaio. Worked great, seems awsome and rolls GOOS GOOS, for a new operating system. I decided to use the BitLocker feature that I wanted to use from Vista Ultimate, which was incredibly dificult unlike BitLocker in Windows 7, which is extremely simple to use. So simple in fact, I encrypted my external hard drive Verbatim 160 Gig where the original BACKUP files are with ALL my original documents, settings and files of the company are located. I haven't used a USB key, or don't have I recorded the RecoveryKey, I printed and completely loses it, I remember perfectly well the password I used. Problem is I have NOW, I can't ACCESS MY HARD DRIVE! When I try to access the hard drive it asked me not the password recovery key. Please help me, im in deep poopie. I wish I could change the world, if only I could find a diapper big enough to hold so many things...

  Hey thanks for the reply Kev, but I must say that I did and didn't. The new Windows 7 operating system has this feature built-in and it is much easier to use. So yes I did it, but I made using windows 7 have where, instead of download all the files, I just insert the original DVD of WIndows 7, I restart my PC and follow the instructions of recovery of BitLocker recovery key, and voila. The problem is that I've NEVER stored on this particular external hard drive recovery key. BTW: I tried to follow the steps mentioned by Mr. Vijay but inconsistent tool with my operating system (Windows 7 64-Bit) it only works with Vista (not 150 percent certain but close). Please correct me if Im wrong. I wish I could change the world, if only I could find a diapper big enough to hold so many things...
