• USB key is always write protected even if the value is zero

  WHEN READ VALUE IS SET TO ZERO PENDRIVE NOT REMOVED THE WRITE PROTECTION

  Hello

  1. Are you having the same problem, if you connect the USB to different computer?
  2. Are you having the same problem if you connect different USB key to your computer?
  3. What is the brand and model of the pen driver?
  4. Have you tried making the virus for USB scan?

  Write protection is a feature found on many different types of media. When the write protection is turned on, you will be able to view the information on the disc or USB key, but you won't be able to write or transfer information to it.

  Write protection is an element of protection which prevents accidental deletion of important data. Sometimes turning off the write protection is as simple as uncapping the USB key to find a manual switch. If your player lacks an external switch, the procedure requires a few steps to complete.

  (a) turn on your computer and plug the drive after that your operating system is loaded.

  (b) open 'My computer' and the list of readers of research until you find your USB drive letter

  (c) right click on the name, then click 'properties '. Browse the tabs until you see the option to remove the write protection. If this does not work, proceed to the next step.

  (d) visit the website of the company for your USB key. Go to the help or support section and search for "write protect".

  (e) search the Internet for software that will remove the write protection. Download the program and install it on your computer.

  (f) open the software. Follow the instructions to remove your USB write protection.

  I also suggest you analyze your USB key with the Microsoft Safety Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
  
  Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

  Yes, Mac OS X has built-in protection that is updated regularly (in the background). You don't need any other software.

• USB keys - problem with the Recovery Manager

  I bought a 16GB Kingston DataTraveler 112 USB key so I could copy the recovery as a backup image. He acknowledged the USB key and showed that the recovery image has been slightly more than 11 GB. But when he started to format the USB key, it returns to the previous screen and asking more of the car. At the bottom of the screen, he said to contact the HP Support, but it gives me an error message. Now when I try the Recovery Manager it does not recognize the USB at all.

  Before that, I had bought another 16 GB USB - don't remember what brand. I have 5 other USB drives, but they are all small, except a 32 GB Kingston DT101 G2 which does not work on this computer, even if it worked on my old computer (Pavilion w/Vista Home Premium) without problem. All these USBs, including the new Kingston are for USB 2.0.

  Operating system is Windows 8.1 64-bit on the desktop HP Pavilion 500 - A60. I tried the problem that USB keys in all 4 ports (2.0 and 3.0). Also in that I plug into a port to give me 3 USB ports, also used on my previous computer.

  Is it possible that this computer does not recognize Kingston or some other brands of USB thumb drives?

  The trick to this is to use a USB 2.0 port and use a non-windows 8 certified thumbdrive. If the USB flash drive shows as a 'removable device' there should be no problem in the use of the media to create a recovery media

  I had a lot of success with a 16 GB Transcend USB 3.0 flash drive.

  I own a couple of DataTraveler flash drives and had the same lack of success, creation of recovery media that you did. I have had zero success with 3.0 of Sandisk Extreme usb flash drives

I'm having a problem with the creation of recovery media for laptop Hp pavilion computer system on a usb key can help you

  Hi @Phoenix-1921,.

  Welcome to the HP Forums! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  Thank you for posting. I read your post and I understand that when you create the recovery media, it stopped and gave you the message of the one copy can be made. I wanted to help with that.

  Due to licensing restrictions, you can create one HP a computer recovery solution. This message appears when the recovery media has already been created. If you bought a previously used computer or store but the computer was already open, then recovery media has probably been created before you bought the computer and this message is normal. If the computer is less than a few years, then you will probably be able to get a HP recovery solution. There might be a fee according to the status of the security of the computer, the country / region the computer was purchased, and the condition that generated the message. For more information, see looking for USB HP recovery disc or HP recovery discs?

  Let me know if you need more assistance.

  Kind regards

• Envy 15 t: using a USB key as the recovery media

  The instructions of assistant decision-making support, that the thumbdrive are not compatible with Windows 8 ?

  The computer is a computer of Windows 8 (actually the 8.1).  Recovery files would be (probably) 8.1 recovery of files.

  However, it seems that the recovery thumbdrive must be compatible?

  What I don't understand? ..... Izzy

  Hi @Izzy11201 ,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

  I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 laptop and issues using a USB key as the recovery media.

  I think that the laptop it tell you that the Thumbdrive could not be formatted for all functions of Windows 8. It doesn't have to be 32 GB and is compatible to Windows 8 to create a recovery USB Flash disk. Here is a link to the creation of recovery disks or USB in Windows 8 flash player, if you need it.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you.

• For some reason, none of my 3 USB keys on my laptop recognize any connection. Help, please.

  It is a follow-up question. My external drives appear in the section work stations. I can access them by along w / the files on it. It's a question that when I'm going to try to send items to readers (all 3 ports) do not recognize that there is a link there. Then, when I click right on and down to ' send to ' drives external hard for these ports (3) none of them don't introduce yourself here indicating that there is a drive attached to it. Therefore, I'm unable to send files to / them. Any port I use at this time.
  Is there a place in my computer, where I have a check to see if I have inadvertently disabled?

  It is a supplementary question that I asked yesterday. Involving essentially the same thing. Then I asked how to send files to my external as disc it does not see the the "send to" when right-clicking. I received a reply and it worked. But it is simply to create a shortcut for the command in the file send to.

  Since I have now come to realize that this is a problem w / all my readers and it's true, create shortcuts for each reader, that I finally hang up the USB hubs will work, it's kind of just put a bandage on the main issue. Problem being, why aren't my grateful USB keys when there is something related to them.

  They have worked in the past. And the only way that they recognize that everything is connected to them is now for me to create a shortcut in the folder send to. Once again, the problem is with Ports USB works not as it should.

  Help, please.

• Tool for creating media, Windows Bootable USB key problem

  Hey, when using of media creation tool to download and make N 8.1 Windows Bootable on my 64 GB Kingston, USB 3.0, the process gets all the way to the end before failing and say "sorry, something happened and we could not finish creating the flash drive in the drive I got access denied." So my question is; Why won't it work?

  Use the multimedia creation tool to download and save the .iso image file. Do not use it to make the USB. This prevents you wasting time downloading Windows 8.1 and then having to redownload as the tool does the USB incorrectly. Rufus makes the Bootable USB key. Its best to use a 8-32 GB USB flash drive and FAT32 format (64 GB will be truncated to 32 GB for FAT32).

  If you install in the UEFI with SecureBoot (new Security Technologies - made systems in 2012 or later systems in 2010-2011 may also have the UEFI BIOS with the latest BIOS update but the settings must be enabled) use the "GPT partition for UEFI computer scheme." Be sure to format it in FAT32 or the USB Flash drive will not start.

  If you install in a legacy systems BIOS for systems without a UEFI BIOS, then use the "partition MBR BIOS laptop scheme." Its also recommended to format the Flash drive to FAT32 but not necessary for a Legacy BIOS.

  See here where I demonstrate the procedure:

  I left my laptop (Windows 7 Professional) in locked mode windows requiring a password. But when I logged in, I got a message on my phone saying I can security eject my drive (I didn't write down the exact message), but I have not used my USB in a long time. This happened to me once before about 3 months ago. I'm worried because I don't know if the files can be downloaded somehow in a USB key when the computer is locked mode without my knowledge. I have some sensitive files on my laptop. Thank you

  Hi AmrGH,

  The message refers to the DVD drive and not on the USB drive.

  If you suspect any activity of the virus, then run a full scan of computer virus so that the computer is virus-free.

  Run a full scan of the computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

In the image of disk recovery pen occupy about 21 GB, but the strange thing is that this process also occupy my equal to 21 GB of disk space (C). Before creating recovery USB key image, my free memory from the disk (C) was 60 GB free but after creating it, drive (C) reduced to 40 GB memory. Is this normal or has done, I made a mistake. If it is not normal that how I can release these 20 and 21 GB on my drive (C).

  and follow the instructions on the screen... and successfully created the recovery USB Flash key. But my drive (C) breaks down. I don't understand why this is happening because I provided the window 8 with 32 GB USB key to create the recovery image then why there are also equal space on drive (C).
  Please help me friends how free up my space of 21 GB drive (C).       Thank you...
