• follow-up to the issue of data on a USB flash drive recovery

  HP instructions say that the 32 GB flash drive has NOT should be labeled as Windows 8 compatible.   I bought a Sandisk 32 GB yesterday for $20 on sale, but it says on the back that it is compatible.

  More / or less expensive flash drives did not address if compatible with Windows 8.

  I have Windows 8.1

  Thanks in advance for your help...

  Hello

  If the flash drive is listed as "Windows compatible 8" may not be used - the reason is that the creation of HP recovery media software is seeking a device marked Win 8 compatible show as internal drives flash drives and external .

  In the example below, the 32 Gb flash drive USB 'Dave G' shows as a drive hard internal who can not be used, while the USB flash drive "Removable disc H" would work.

• Why is my 64 GB USB Flash Drive "not a backup location valid?

  I tried to turn it to a previous question, but reading of the Code of conduct for this forum, I discovered that it was inappropriate to do that.  My apologies for this.

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit SP1, installed using Toshiba recovery disks (I have a new Toshiba laptop, when I got the system I opted to not have a recovery partition).  I just cleaned all the bloatware off Windows, ran Windows Update until there was no more updates for (achieved in this way SP1), and now I have a fresh and clean windows installation, which has never even been to a single Web site.  Now, I am trying to create a system image on a 64 GB flash drive (I won't even finish by using half of it, as my SSD has only about 19 GB used, and which includes the hibernation file (I disabled the pagefile, because paging files are unkind to SSDs))

  Before, I asked if it was possible to manually create a System Image of Windows 7 on a USB Flash drive (big), and I got two answers 'Yes' to two stars of the community. (See my question here)  It is also stated that it is possible on windows.microsoft.com, here.  Note that when windows.microsoft.com stipulates "the system image must be saved on a hard drive, reference is made to automatic creating system images.  If you keep reading, you'll see that the page says that if you want to manually create a a system image, this image of the system may be recorded on optical discs, a USB Flash drive or a hard drive.  If it is possible, then why will I have the following problem?

  64 GB USB Flash Drive inserted--> closed Autoplay dialogue--> Opened "My Computer"--> Right-clicked drive E (my flash drive) and the selected format--> Unchecked 'Quick Format'--> size of the NTFS system chosen and 4096 bytes of cluster--> Clicked 'Format' and acknowledged that all the data will be deleted--> waited a while for the form to fill out, then clicked OK--> closed 'My Computer'--> ejected my flash player by clicking on 'remove hardware safely'--> physically unplugged flash drive--> Grabbed a diet coke with ice--> inserted 64 GB USB Flash drive--> AutoPlay dialog closed--> opens the start--> Clicked "All programs" Menu--> clicked maintenance--> click Backup and Restore Center--> clicked on create System Image--> (scans of program for storage devices)--> my flash drive appears under "on a hard drive" and the words 'the drive is not a valid backup location' appear under my FlashDrive being listed.  For reference, "on one or more DVDs" appears just below the text saying "the drive is not a valid backup location."

  My understanding is that what I just tried to do is create an image of the system on an NTFS partition formatted (with a 4 KB cluster size) 64 GB USB Flash Drive.  But it is not letting me!  I understand that I can't plan the creation of automatic system for USB Flash drives, but according to windows.microsoft.com image and two stars of the community, it is indeed possible to "manually" create a system image on a large USB Flash drive, which I think is what I just tried to do.  If there is another way to create a system image, even more 'manually' than what I do (I'm certainly not afraid of the command line, if I need to use it I'm more than happy to do so), please let me know.

  I have a low-quaility SATA 3.0 Gbit/s notebook HDD in an enclosure USB powered bus at low prices, and I was able to create a system on that image.  However, I expect this device to fail shortly.  I also managed to create a system image on a DVD-r virgins.  I did, however, just spend $85 on a 64 GB USB Flash Drive specifically to store an image of the system, which I expect to use to back up Windows 7 with World of Warcraft installed (total size of drive C will be approximately 50 GB; I have not yet downloaded WoW; "I want to overcome this first).

  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thank you!

  1st edit: adding links so people would not need to copy and paste to their address bar and said the last sentence of the last paragraph.

  I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum is frought with for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Two me are familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 7 years without the 1st problem) and Memeo, which has 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from http://memeo.com. You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

  CNET has a lot of reviews of backup program to

  http://download.CNET.com/Windows/backup-software/?tag=contentBody;sideBar.

  Some of them are free (the last time I checked there are 315), some have free trials (more), and some are buying only (more than 200).

  Good luck.

• When I transfer files from my hard drive on a USB flash drive, the transfer rate is very slow, about 250 KB / second. Is it possible to increase the speed of transfer rate

  When I transfer files from my hard drive on a USB flash drive, the transfer rate is very slow, about 250 KB / second. Is it possible to increase the speed of transfer rate

  depends on the speed, support USB 2.0, USB 2.0 ports, and with active BIOS settings

  (2) you can increase the speed, if your motherbaord has a USB 3.0 port and must be enabled in the BIOS

  Hello

  You're probably talking about Recovery DVD. No, file structure will be the same and you can't use the USB to retrieve the machine. You may be able to make a second series of DVDs for backup by sector-by-sector copy.

• What is the best method to add data to a file stored on a usb flash drive to avoid too many write cycles?

  Hello

  I'm trying to store an important data on a cRIO sampled stream in the USB flash drive.

  I believe that there are two ways to add data to a file:

  1. open the file outside of the loop, then write to the file loop, then close the file outside the loop.

  Pros; More quickly and efficiently than the opening and closing of files in a loop is resource heavy equipment.

  Disadvantages; If the program fails partially through, all data is lost.

  2. open the file, write to the file and close the file, all in the loop.

  With the advantages and disadvantages as opposed to option 1.

  As my cRIO is finally deployed in a hostile environment and data are valuable and processing speed is not an issue of concern in this project, I'm leaning towards option 2, but after a few basic calculations that I realize that I'll be writing/opening/closing the file of thousands of times and I wanted to know if this will wear out the flash memory?

  My uncertainty is due to not understanding what happens when a file is opened written to and closed.  He writes the new data to new areas of the flash, or it write all data on top?  The latter would cause me problems not too long term!

  Any help gratefully received.

  A big thank you and best regards,

  Ed

  The 'magic' is not in the File Format (PDM vs vs binary text), but in the "life" of the file.  This solution creates a file of 24 hours and maintains a different file for each day.  If the USB "dies", you lose everything you have not backed up somewhere.  If the program dies (or errors), you lose the data for the current day.  You end up with multiple files (which can be a more or less), but we must still make the trade-off between (duration) of the file and the file number opens (which relates to your concern for the longevity of the USB).  By the way, I suspect that a good quality USB key (it's what you mean, right?  Or do you mean a hard drive USB powered?  Comments probably apply both) can predict today to not die on you, everything just because you make a lot of reads/writes (of course, you could get in-a-thousand...).

  ======================================
  OK... is it recognized as a hard drive or a mass storage device?

  If you have more than one USB port, try the others.

  If you have several USB devices... it can help
  Unplug everything except the Flash Player.

• You are looking for a SIMPLE, EASY to USE, USB flash drive password protection

  Hello everyone,

  I scoured the Internet looking for a SIMPLE, EASY to USE, method of Word to PASS-PROTECT my flash drives TOGETHER.  I don't mean something that protects just individual files & folders (such as MS Word, Excel & can do).  Or I'm looking for a program that involves having to read page after page of instructions on how to ENCRYPT the drive.  ENCRYPTION is a topic that is really beyond my ability to understand.  I'm sorry.

  Programs like Truecrypt, Axcrypt, etc. are simply much too complicated for me to understand... a lot less!

  My question: are there flash drives available (size 8-16 GB preferably) who have a means of securing the disk with a password?

  The USB key remains in my USB port at ALL times!  I have no other computers here and live alone, so that no one else could access the flash player (or computer).  Otherwise, I would be willing to consider a VERY SIMPLE, EASY to UNDERSTAND AND USE application, either free or something that does not cost me dearly.  (I subsist on a limited monthly disability income).

  Thank you for your time and any recommendations!

  It seems that the solution for you would be to purchase a secure Flash drive.   Security is built-in and it asks for your password when you insert your disc into the computer.   Can't get much simpler than that.  They are a little more expensive, but you pay more for practical reasons.   See the following article:
  'USB Flash Drive Security '.
     <>http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive_security >
  To find one, just Google for "Secure USB flash drive", there are a lot of them out there.

  If you have a non-secure flash drive and do not want to replace, then your easiest option would be a program like Truecrypt which you already have reduced as being too complicated.  Don't let the word"encryption" you scared - it all comes down to "enter a password to access".»  Once established, however, it is almost as simple as only to enter a password so if you can find a computer or a local high school computer nerd literate member of the family who would volunteer to set up for you, then it wouldn't be that hard.

Roman Si the windows installation media is in the drive, you can remove it for this step. "I have the"TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS - L632H ATA Device"CD/DVD-ROM drive, and and it come preinstalled with no driver disk.  So is there a solution to the problem?

  You could try to copy the contents of the DVD to a folder on your hard drive. Then start the installation from there.

  (I've seen a post or two during the upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit of Vista 32 bit). Could just be a funky DVDROM drive problem. Copy of the files should ignore the issue.

  I hope this helps!
