USB recovery questions

Hi all - HARD drive in my desire to 3 year, began vomiting errors imminent failure. I have a TB external drive which I want to use instead. A friend told me that it was as easy as swap disks and using the recovery media that I created at the time of purchase. However, at the time of the creation of recovery the laptop did not like DVD - R on-site and so I did a USB recovery instead. This seems to have been a mistake because the laptop will not start from the key and just requires a boot device.

Yes I checked the boot options in the BIOS & external USB is there and moved to the top of the list with no result. Guess I need to approach to DVD instead, but have no idea how to do to transfer data from the key on a disk recovery.

All advice appreciated... wondering if I am the GROUND with recovery and should attempt to clone the original disc until it's too late?

Hello

Sometimes, just defining the the laptop to boot from usb does not work as it should, it may be worth trying the following.

Judgment of the laptop.

Tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Insert the Windows 7 flash player.  Select the menu of Boot Options ( f9 ).  If the usb drive is listed, use the arrow keys to select the flash drive and press ENTER.

Kind regards

  • Yet when can WT8 - A - I create a USB recovery?

    Hello.

    A newbie here and must I say, I had a heck of a job, find the button 'open a new topic '.
    I only found it by chance which has landed on the right page.
    Anyway, back to my request.

    I always have a brand new Toshiba WT8A still in the box.
    Here another must be told.

    I had possession of this unit about a week ago and to cut a long story short, at the suggestion of a drop-down notification of Toshiba I downloaded and installed a BIOS update, it went well.

    I was then advised to download and install the update of the installer of Intel. It went well until to half way through and then everything froze, the screen went black and stayed like that for over half an hour or two. When it looked like not commissioning again I tried to start it by pressing the power button on the side, but instead of putting on and working, I got a nasty blue screen informing me that Bitlock had locked my tablet... I panicked!

    In my desperation, I have absolutely violated the internet solution to notice that the only solution was to recover the operating system, but the problem was that I didn't have a USB recovery.

    I was lucky that Toshiba was kind enough to take possession of the mortared Tablet and restored the device to its factory for me.

    So you can see a USB recovery is essential, but the question, at what point can I create them as we know that as soon as you begin to configure things, are supported by internet downloads and everything screams it must be updated and you are bombarded.

    To be honest, I'm terrified to BitLock upward again. The irony is that I was not anywhere near BitLock that I know about in its use or its application, but from what I've gleaned, it seems the update Intel had invoked the locking identify what he perceived as a potential problem after that the BIOS updated... or so it has been suggested.

    I'll start another post with questions about the BitLock, for now, it is a question of recovery USB and welcome all responses. Do I get messages when a response has been added because I see not a checkbox to request this service. ?

    Concerning

    Recovery must be created initially in the best cases after the Tablet has been configured.
    The recovery media contains the image of Toshiba, but the recovery media won't back up your current data or setting. It's very important.

    Leash so assume you got you filed using this Toshiba recovery procedure.
    After this recovery process the tablet will be set to factory settings to the same State as the first date of purchase

    Hope I could clarify this issue.

  • Aspire E1 - 571 does not start USB recovery

    Get the error message saying phone needs recovery. Went into BIOS and selected USB HDD to boot. But as soon as I insert the USB key, the machine goes in loop simply display the Acer logo, black screen. Reflected on the USB (purchased at dealer) and there are files it contains. I tried to start USB FDD and USB, CD ROM, but they do not work either. What Miss me? Help please.

    If you need to reinstall your operating system:

    If your laptop still has the Acer erecovery partition, you can simply start by pressing ALT + F10 and follow the on-screen instructions.

    If you don't have this partition and want to use your USB recovery to reinstall your operating system, you must completely wipe your HARD drive first and then boot from USB.

    You can boot from USB drive just by pressing F12 and selecting the USB flash drive as a boot device, rather than change the BIOS boot priority.

    If your question is different, please post more details.

  • HP Pavilion g7 recovery questions

    Hello

    I plan to do a factory reset on my HP Pavilion g7, because the pilots somehow began to disturb, reinstall the original drivers does not resolve this problem, so I have a few questions:

    How do I know that the recovery programs were not damaged, while I won't have problems when the recovery is complete?

    I have updated BIOS with HP Support Manager a month ago, the recovery also moved the original driver for BIOS?

    I can make the recovery of a battery in the laptop or I have to remove and do as the tank adapter?

    How long it takes for this process to be done (approx.)?

    Can I keep recovery (D and HP_TOOLS (E after recovery?))

    This recovery will really put me on the language selection screen, after it's done and instal lall, the pilots and the original software?

    Do I need Internet while doing a recovery?

    Please help me.

    I have updated BIOS with HP Support Manager a month ago, the recovery also moved the original driver for BIOS? A recovery will have no effect on the BIOS.

    I can make the recovery of a battery in the laptop or I have to remove and do as the tank adapter? No recoveries with the AC adapter.

    How long it takes for this process to be done (approx.)? Depends on the media you use. If you use a usb recovery media is fast enough. Maybe an hour. If you use recovery DVD, so maybe it will take two hours or more. If you perform a recovery from Windows, you may have one or two hours. 

    Can I keep recovery (D and HP_TOOLS (E after recovery?)) It would be a wise thing to do. Consider the fact that neither score is actually a lot of space on your hard drive.

    This recovery will really put me on the language selection screen, after it's done and instal lall, the pilots and the original software? the recovery will be in the default language for portable computer was shipped with. It will install the drivers, but not necessarily all applications. and then it also depends on the type of recovery you have chosen.

    Do I need Internet while doing a recovery? No.

    Please help me.

  • Satellite T130 - Toshiba create USB recovery

    Hello.

    This is the situation:

    I have laptop Toshiba T130 with no DVD player. After installing Win7, I shrunk the partition D tool in Win7 and used the free space to install Linux with GRUB. Then I shrunk the partition also C by Win7 tool and free space to create another. This however told me something about the dynamic disk or something...

    But he has somehow broken GRUB so I decided to reinstall Linux. But the scores have been somehow broken, but I installed Linux on the last partition. Since then I could not start Windows or repair because partition D has actually been removed!
    The C with Win7 partition seemed intact.

    Trying to fix the computer and try to start trouble, I got error 0 x 090 or something with partition table error. So therefore, I deliberately decided to create the new partition with Gparted that off my HARD drive. Then I put in place the new partitions: 3 x NTFS, (400 MB recovery, partition Win7 and another) + extended partition containing the NTFS partition + ext4 partition, swap.

    Then I copied the hidden files (that I had saved earlier) in a hidden partition on the HDD laptop + I copied folder of Toshiba 3rd NTFS partition recovery (I had backed up the files immediately after obtaining of the laptop).

    Now, I'm stuck with 0xc000000e error when you try to start. I also followed this thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=53952&tstart=15

    Can you help me with Win7 Starter? And what program to use to make Win7 64 bit USB bootable recovery CD? I tried unetbootin and USB, but they did not...

    Any advice will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you very much!

    Oh mann what are you do is incredible. ;)
    The entire structure of the HARD disk is now screwed upward. I m just wondering why you did that on this small Satellite T130.
    I mean it's OK all what are you do and you can do what you want with your machine, but my personal opinion is you're wrong for laptop for all of this.

    Satellite T130 is small ultra portable laptop designed to offer the maximum of mobility and offer long battery life, when you are out of office or travel through. So I think that the most important thing for this laptop is well installed and configured the operating system that runs stabile and with the minimum of consumption of energy. This laptop doesn t have the optical disk drive and the overall situation is more complicated if the factory settings are changed.

    You now have on the HARD drive is nothing but the jungle and to me, it seems pretty confusing.
    If you checked s user manuals document you can find the exact explanation, what can be done with the recovery image saved on the second partition and what type of recovery media can be created.

    Recovery image is not designed for use with third-party applications part so it can be problematic to create USB recovery drive.
    Thread you link posted is better thread on this topic and if this will not help I really don't know what you can, except for ordering original Toshiba recovery DVD and make the installation of OS to get the factory settings again.

  • Satellite L300-13 s - USB recovery instead of recovery DVD discs?

    Hello

    Well, for the first time in 8 years I had to do a system recovery using the disks that I created when I bought my l300-13s using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
    I had inadvertently deleted the HARD drive recovery partition when I decided to make a clone with a larger HARD drive.

    What I want to know is instead of making recovery discs DVD can only do a USB key recovery?

    Thank you

    Peter.

    When you open Toshiba Recovery Media Creator you can see media options that can be created. I m not 100% sure, but I think that the old L300 there was possibility of recovery DVD only so I think that you cannot create USB recovery.

  • Unable to boot from USB recovery media

    I created my usb successfully recovery media using a pendrive of 32 GB. Of course, I don't want to test it. I started my ultrabook, and however, it would not begin the recovery USB. Clues? I pressed ESC several times and came in the start menu.

    F1 system information

    F2 System Diagnostics

    F9 boot device Options

    F10 BIOS Setup

    F11 recovery system

    You are the very welcome.

    A way of knowing whether worked or not, usb recovery flash drive support and is to make an another bootable usb flash drive to test whether or not it is the laptop.

    The fact that you could not start the flash from another PC drive leads me to believe that the creation of recovery has failed.

    Here is the link to the instructions and tools you need to make a bootable flash drive general.

    The two files that you need are at the bottom of the page.  The bootme.zip file is just the BACK files that you extract, copy and paste once the other file actually formats the flash drive to make it bootable.  In this way, it is a speedy BACK and from there you can just go out.

    I use this tool to update the firmware on HP Business Desktop PC processor.

  • HP 15 F018dx: Using a HP USB recovery on other models

    If I order a recovery usb Windows 8.1 HP for a specific model laptop... is it possible to also use this USB recovery for an additional HP laptop computer that is the same model or a model different recent HP that originally came with Windows 8.1? Thank you.

    Hello:

    If you order a usb for Windows 8.1 HP for laptop model specific recovery, it will work on another of the same model.

    It will not work on any other HP PC.

    The recovery media checks the BIOS and other unique identifiers, and if they do not gather, and then exit the Setup.

    He'll even specific enough... as to my own situation... I replaced the Broadcom wireless card in my G1 of 350 HP with an Intel card (which is not available on the 350 G1), and the recovery process is gone until the end, then he erroneous reports that there is no driver found for the wireless card, recovery failed.

    I assumed he would recover the laptop, and I could just install the Intel wireless driver.  No dice.

  • USB recovery

    Hi, I created a USB recovery using Acer Recovery Management. I will be able to restore to factory so I copy the content of the USB key on an external hard drive and use the external drive as the recovery disk? I use Windows 8.1 on an Acer Aspire E1-410. Thank you

    From what I've seen, this will not work. Microsoft's guidelines and requirements that must be followed in the creation of the backup. It requires the player to be erased and then loaded with the bootable Installer to work. Is there a way round it? Probably, but it's just because everything is possible with a computer and the appropriate knowledge.

    So, if you have copied the content on a hard disk, this HARD drive will not start unless it is properly formatted with the installer of MS. copy/paste it back on the flash player will not work unless the flash player has not been changed (and even then, I'm not sure this will work either.

    Windows 7 x 64, HP G62-144DX

    Hello:

    I can't help you with this specific issue, but if you can get it is resolved and you can read the product key 25 character Microsoft Windows on the bottom of your PC, do your own installation of W7 media to reinstall W7.

    Here's how:

    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.

  • Mavericks usb recovery

    Hello world

    I'm stuck trying to create a Mavericks USB of my MacBook Air recovery. One of my mac had a hard drive died, so I will try to reinstall the Mavericks.

    I downloaded the dmg to the app store, and then the trouble started. I use DiskMaker X or the terminal with createinstallmedia, the files do not appear to be copied on the USB, it remains stuck for hours with no improvement, and when I check the USB, I see that only 50 MB are copied on the USB. I tried with another USB and also an another Macbook Air, but the same question keep coming...

    No idea how to solve this problem? I really need this USB now...

    Thank you!

  • Portege Z830: Create the recovery and removal on SSD USB recovery partition?

    Hello

    I already found a lot of discussions around the question how to increase free space on the SSD drive.

    Is it possible to remove the recovery partition after you create a recovery key USB with the tool 'Create a Toshiba Recovery media'?
    No risk?

    If it would be possible, how it is possible to assign the space gained on the C: partition?

    Thanks in advance for your advice!

    > Is an option to remove the recovery partition after you create a recovery key USB with the tool 'create a Toshiba Recovery media "?
    > No risk?

    Well, the recovery partition would create again when the laptop recovery procedure using disk recovery or the flash memory stick recovery

    So if you want to remove the 2nd partition, you must create this disc/USB stick recovery before changing something on the HARD drive.
