USB flash drive

I get a message HP telling me to do a backup and recovery on a disk or usb. I do it on a usb key because I have no place to put a disc. What kind should I expect, and what size should be? I know very little PC. Thankou.

Hi karanpool,

What operating system you are using (for example, Win 7 32-bit or 64-bit) and please provide your number of product only. No serial number.

You need a 16 GB USB key to create HP recovery disc. HP is prompting to perform a backup and recovery or Windows Action Center raises this action?

There is a difference, and each outcome serves a different purpose.

HP recovery disk/USB player will provide the original factory image to restore your device to the State of the plant. Good to have your HARD drive goes down or if the HP recovery partition is damaged. HP option requires from scratch. You will need to install a third-party software, restore all data from external backup and reconfigure affecting users. Windows Backup and Restore will create an image of your disk system. All user settings, software of data and third-party manufacturer at the time the created image is preserved.

  • How to use a blank disc DVD-R as a USB flash drive?

    Hi all! I'm running Mac OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro and I was wondering how I could use a blank DVD-R disc as a form of rewriting for documents, music, spreadsheets, etc. ? My mac Let's burn me to the disc, but I can't rewrite to it after that. Help, please!

    They don't work that way. Rewritable means simply you can erase the disc and use it again. You can't write it during normal use of the disk. This, to a USB flash drive.

    To be same rewritable, you can use a DVD - RW, DVD - r not it is not rewritable. You can look for third-party software that allow you to use the drive as a flash drive, but I am not sure that these programs exist. Not much need for it.

  • USB Flash drive problems

    I have a USB key that does not work. It's a drive 8 GB flash USB 3.0 which has been formatted and works on my Macbook Pro. The problem comes when I try to use it on a Windows device.

    When I format it under OSX Extended it appears under Windows but is empty.

    When I format it in FAT, under Windows it says that the device must be formatted first

    Either way, when I go to format the device on Windows it says that is only 200 MB space

    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you want to use a USB flash drive on the cross-platform (Win, Linux, OSX) computers you have the next chance:

    -MS-DOS (FAT) format:

    If you want to start the drive on a PC or use it with older versions of Windows, you may also need to set the partition to the Master Boot Record (MBR) for full compatibility Windows scheme:

    • Click the drive, and then select the tab "partition".
    • In the "Layout of the score" dropdown, select "1 Partition".
    • Click on 'Options' and choose "Master Boot Record" as the type of partition, then click 'OK' and 'apply '.

    Format discs very quickly, although the total time required will depend on the size of the drive.

    The file system resulting is compatible with all versions of Mac OS X, Windows 95, 98, Windows XP, Vista, 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, is one of the most widely recognized and usable file system formats. What makes FAT ideal of the file system to use for external hard drives or USB flash drives that are designed for use in environments with multiple operating systems.

    ATTENTION! The main drawback to the use of FAT32 is the file size limit, which limits the files on the drive to be 4 GB in size or less. If you need single files to be larger than 4 GB, use exFAT, even if you lose compatibility with older versions of OS X and Windows.

    -Format in NTFS and use a program like Paragon NTFS on your Mac ($ 15/20).

  • A movie can be stored on a usb flash drive?

    I would you ask my camcorder recorded videos, currently stored in Photos, iMovie, and the camcorder on a USB flash drive SD card so I can read in my car on the navigation screen. How can I upload videos to a USB key?

    Yes, you can store movies on your USB.  Probably the easiest way is to drag the movies.  USB drives which are formulated FAT 32, as most of them, are limited to 4 GB in size for any single file.  Would be good to try with a movie just to make sure that your USB will play your

    navigation screen of the car in any way you are intending to do.

  • Pavilioin P6710f: Changing Bios then boot from a USB flash drive

    How can I update my bios to enable booting from a USB Flash drive. My bios is American Megatrends 6.07, 04/05/2011 and the only options are CD, hard disk, floppy. Is there a way to change this? To test the Windows 10 repair disk I created, my system froze to the blue screen "choose" keyboard layout. I couldn't use the usb mouse or usb keyboard. As a result, I had to restore my system to windows 7 using my Norton Ghost recovery disk and backups that I had done before downloading windows 10.

    After the opening of the bios and clicking on the hard drive by default, I found that I had a choice, including the USB Flash drive that I have pugged just forward to restart. This answered my question. Thanks to everyone for their contribution. It was not necessary to Flash the bios after all.

  • WiFi connectivity weird when I plug in the USB Flash drive?

    I found this WiFi connection problem a few days ago, when I plugged a USB Flash drive in "USB port right side' of my MacBook Pro.

    Every time when USB , WiFi won't work - the connection is lost and can not connect to any hotspot even turn the WiFi market.

    I found more weird, ONLY this brand and model key USB could be the abnormal Mac WiFi.

    This problem will not happen to another USB port even I put the Flash drive in the left side, USB port, weird isn't?

    Conclusion, this flash drive cannot be used with USB port on the RIGHT side, another USB port works fine. If WiFi don't work.

    All other USB devices I've owned are working very well on the USB ports on the right or left side.

    Could Apple support or any helps me to understand why this happen?

    PS. I had the Apple's Diagnostics and received a message "no problem found".

    PS #2. Right - same USB port side and next to the HDMI port on MacBook Pro 13 "model 2015" (snack for someone who confuse average left or right)

  • Some USB flash drives REFUSE to work in this 40TL963B

    Hi all. I recently bought a new 40TL963B and so far I have found nothing wrong with her.

    Except that... when I listen to it all the Satellite channels, I noticed thay were very different from my FreeSat box. Duplicate the layers, randomly arrested... etc. It made me want to not use the built-in satellite feature.

    However, I found a program called ToshibaEdit which allowed me to manually change all the digital channels on the TV. Grand... I though. Until I met this problem-->

    Inorder to change the ads, you must copy the TV channels on a USB flash drive, you can edit them on your PC. Now, it took me AN HOUR to do, because of two flash readers I used, none of them worked... I kept getting a "Write Fail" error. WTF?

    The disks are formatted in FAT32, one is a 8 GB is 2 GB.

    Finally, I tried an external 2.5 "USB 120 GB hard drive. Even if the disc is defective... This WORKER. I expect flash drives to work, to be honest, but all of them... the external USB hard drive worked.

    In any case, I spent another hour sort channels, until I was ready to transfer the data back. And. Yes... the same problem. This time, I received an error "failed to read". Again, tried the external USB HDD... worked the first time.

    Now, this HARD drive is faulty, so he'll be thrown... so I'm going to need a flash player to do it again if something happens.

    And then... can ANYONE tell me why on Earth two appropriate, fully working almost brand new USB flash drives REFUSE to work in this TV, but a former, fairly well defective USB external drive MADE? In addition, the same flash drive that I tried to copy the data from digital channel with was also used for a backup of the Firmware... and it WORKED perfectly. It works also for use with the media player.

    While this TV has a hatred of Flash drives all of a sudden?
    Anyone can shed some light on this?

    In addition, very quickly, TV seems to lose its TV settings every time that I bring the TV out of Eve. I'm going to the TV Dynamic and adjust all the settings, but he returned to AutoView and all settings back to 0. Is it a fault or is there something I need to do to 'save' the settings per channel?

    Any help at all will be appreciated greatly.

    Hello

    > And then... can ANYONE tell me why on Earth two appropriate, fully working almost brand new USB flash drives REFUSE to work in this TV, but a former, fairly well defective USB external drive MADE?

    AFAIK the 40TL963B TV supports a common HS USB 2.0 interface and memory flash can be formatted in FAT16 or FAT32 file system. So there is no specific requirement for USB flash memory

  • NB100 - How can I reinstall OS from USB flash drive

    My laptop TOSHIBA NB 100 has no CD-DVD player.
    Operating system is Windows XP Home SP2.

    Operating system won't start.

    Laptop start not at all so I can't run any kind of test when I turn it on.

    The thank you screen come on it says launch safe mode, the networking of safe mode, safe mode comand prompt or start windows normally. But no matter who I chose, that it does not start it only goes to Windows and looks like its starts but then shows the blue Windows screen & stays there.

    So I want to reload Windows from my USB flash drive.
    The BIOS boot sequence is the USB HDD - FDD - FD - CD memory.

    What are the steps for loading Windows USB flash drive?

    If that does not work then I want to connect another laptop with Windows CD in the CD - DVD drive laptop.
    Will this work? The laptop will use the Windows CD in the drive of the laptop to load the operating system?
    How to make this connection?

    Hello

    You usually have an external USB CD/DVD drive to boot from the Windows XP disc or the Toshiba recovery disc.

    But there is a method that allows you to install Win XP using the 2 GB USB key.
    This is possible because the NB100 BIOS supports booting from USB key.

    Pease check this Web page:

    Hay buddy, you have good sense of humor ;)
    Do you really believe that someone to sit here and wait for your non-complex question? ;)
    Anyway, this issue is so simple and you don't need to ask someone here. If you do not find option bootable BIOS to set USB peripheral device for me is logical that this will not work.
