• Split 13 x 2 PCs 13-m110dx: cannot perform the system recovery using a USB flash drive

  I just bought a Split 13 x 2 13-m110dx PC that came with Windows 8. I have upgraded the OS to 8.1 and made a copy of the recovery Partition using a USB flash drive, and deleted the recovery of the PC disk that I learned that I could do. However, when I tried to retrieve OEM provided using the USB flash drive by following the directions at creation and use of a recovery of Microsoft USB drive (Windows 8) "System Recovery" was not available to the title of "troubleshooting." I tried to tell it to boot from the USB, but it askes me to insert the support of windows or other media, but rejects the flash player. What do I do now because I have not all discs?

  To use the Flash created to restore the system to the factory settings, see "Recovering from a USB flash drive" appearing in the following link:

  HP computers - running a HP System Recovery (Windows 8)

  HP System Recovery allows to reinstall or restore a HP with Windows 8 computer to the way it was at a previous time.

• Can I use a USB Flash drive?

  Windows XP Professional - SP3 - Version 2002

  Can I use a USB Flash drive to increase memory? My machine has 512 MB of RAM, and I have a 1.80 GHz CPU Celeron (r) processor.
  From what I've researched, because my OS is Windows XP and I have 512 MB of RAM, I cannot use a 4 GB Flash drive.
  I use a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and lots of sample packs and I have need of more memory. My machine is maxed out at 512 MB of RAM.
  If I buy a 4 GB Flash drive, can I load my DAW on the Flash drive and optimal storage space or should I buy a hard drive to accomplish my problem of not having enough memory?

  Thanks in advance!

  512 MB you should be fine for Windows XP. OK, the application may run more slowly than on a modern computer - but performance is reasonable.

  Like me, I have a computer with 1 linear array of 512 MB memory and a 128 MB memory chips - making the total up to almost 640MO - but I use Photoshop CS3 on it daily and it works fine for most tasks.

  However, if you want to get some further improvements to your computer for the RAM intensive applications performance, I would recommend increasing the virtual memory.

  More about memory virtual here-

  http://ask-Leo.com/what_is_virtual_memory.html

  To increase the virtual memory-

  Do a right click my computer > click Properties > Advanced tab > settings under 'Performance' button > Advanced tab in the performance Options window > change button under "virtual memory".

  Now select the custom size option.

  The options below, you can see some details like -

  Minimum allowed - XX MB

  Recommended - XXXX MB

  Currently allocated - XXXX MB

  Make sure that you set the value of initial size (MB) near the recommended space. The value of maximum size to a value much greater than currently allocated space. (But always value less than 2048 maximum size - you don't need that much).

  That could give some amount of performance increase - but he won't give you a magical boost of performance.

• 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.

• In Windows XP Home edition USB Flash drive

  In order to manage the partitions on a hard disk in Windows XP Home edition, I use disk management, which allows me to set sizes of partition and DISKPART, which allows me to CLEAN the MBR or the whole disc. No idea why I need both.

  However, when I insert a USB flash drive, partitioning options are not available everywhere, either by right-clicking on it in disk management, or by typing SELECT DISK n in DISKPART, which tells me that the drive number is invalid. A number of the disk that I copied from disk management.

  How can I configure WXP as I want to repartition my USB?

• Windows Explorer stops working whenever I have connect a USB flash drive and try to access

  Hello. I use Windows Vista.

  I had a particular problem. Whenever I have plug in a USB key and try and access it, I get a pop saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working." the file is closed. If I wait a long time (i.e. 10 seconds), I might be able to get into the drive without any problems, but even when there is no guarantee. The problem persists in each USB slot I use. In addition, it is not that the computer is not able to detect it. It can detect and identify that it is a USB flash drive. It's just that whenever I try to access (or the folders inside the flash player), windows Explorer stops working and restarts.

  Does anyone have this problem before? And any help is appreciated. Thank you.

  The mistake made reference the MSVCR80.dll, which is a Microsoft file, but it may be another third party file, causing the problem.

  DivX is installed?

  If so, can you uninstall DivX and see if the error resolves.

• Using a USB flash drive for backup more driver and application backup recovery

  I have a 32 GB flash drive I used to create a recovery for my Aspire S7 backup using Windows 8.1. I understand that in creating this backup everything on the flash drive is deleted before creating backup. Can I now use this drive for other purposes, e.g., pilots and backup applications, pictures, documents, etc., or this flash drive now should he remain dedicated to the sole purpose of being a backup recovery?

  Hi zimmerbob

  I keep as a backup to dedicated recovery flash drive and use one for drivers & applications.

  It is always wise to keep the recovery discs, as well as the recovery disks. Flash memory is quite inexpensive for the moment!

• PC freeze using the new Flash drive and Youtube/Vimeo

  Recently, I upgraded my drive flash to the latest version.  No problem with Youtube before, but now there is a major conflict.   Whenever I try to upload a video to youtube, my computer crashes.  I have about 10 seconds or so where I can move the mouse cursor, but no entry is available.  And then my monitor goes into mode "sleep" because she thinks that my PC is in "sleep".  Fans of PC are still underway, but no entry is accepted.  The only solution is to reboot, and then then next time it happen.

  The problem is not Youtube because I have the same problem on Vimeo.  And it's not firefox, I have the same problem on IE.  And Firefox is fully updated.

  I tried the usual uninstall and reinstall Flash and it did not help.

  Any help would be most appreciated.

  Two things you can try

  • update the device drivers for your video card
  • disable hardware acceleration (Flash Player settings)
