Want to do a 8.1 Win USB backup just in case of failure of my laptop model Envy HD M6-k125DX

Hello

I just bought my new laptop Envy M6-k125DX which has the recovery on the hard drive. This laptop is not a DVD or CD and it said that I can do a Win 8.1 install USB to the laptop.

My question is that what someone has done this before?

What size USB thumb drive is necessary. I suspect a version 3.0.

I read most of the books online, but it does not say what size there must be for the operating system.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Please see HP - computers create a Image recovery on discs or save an Image recovery on a Flash USB (Windows 8) drive for instructions on creating a recovery USB Flash drive.

(1) use a Virgin, high quality USB flash drive no more than 32 GB and which is NOT labelled as compatible with Windows 8.
(2) creation of image recovery software allows a single recovery image must be created. If you have created a recovery image on another medium, you cannot create a recovery image on a USB key.
(3) the creation of image recovery software requires a uncorrupted recovery partition (FACTORY_IMAGE D.)

(4) no corrupt means that the recovery partition has not been modified or deleted.
(5) the creation of image recovery process takes about 30 minutes.

I managed to create half a dozen by recovery recovery via a USB 2.0 Flash Drives axle Patriot 32 GB Flash USB drives... they work like a champ. It is probably better to use USB 2.0 Flash Drives that are not listed as Windows 8 compatible, however a lot of USB 3.0 Flash drive should also work. You might just try a few.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Win 7 Backup and Restore does not recognize the USB flash drives.

    Win 7 Backup and Restore does not recognize the USB flash drives for a backup image or a recovery disc.  Given that Windows 7 Starter Edition is used in many, if not most of the netbooks and netbooks have no optical drive, support for flash (thumb) drives would be very handy, especially for repair and recovery.

  • Win 7 backup and the restore failed

    I did the backup Windows for a few years to a 1 TB USB external drive. I make these for family machines. I recently added a new machine for my wife and ran out of space. I took a recycled 3 TB USB, formatted and tried to start the backup and restore. When the backup and restoration Committee came, he had all the options... I could give anything. Finally, I did something that I got an error code which lead me to discover the backup and Restore Service has been disabled. That helped, but was not able to change the disc. I downloaded a file to update the registry here and reset the backup and restore settings. Installation went through and singled out the refocused 3 TB USB drive. Has launched the backup. It ran for a few minutes and then failed with the message "the last backup was not completely successful" [not helpful] so I clicked on "More information" to find "one of the backup files could not be created. Details: The can not be performed because of an i/o device error. [not very useful.] I looked at the logs and see no error even vaguely related to this.

    No error code. No indication of what device or file. No log entry. Everything works well otherwise. Because I'm running on a single system SSD disk I am very nervous about not having a system image.  Direction/suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am somewhat a novice.

    It seems that the problem was a kind of incompatibility of Windows with the Western Digital MyBook 3TO by car.  I did CHKDSK on drives and everything was perfect, but I've always had a "IO error" totally useless is not heading the aircraft in question or explain what type of error has been encountered to the Win 7 backup process. It would have been much easier to diagnose if the WD drive had been shouted.  Also, I have no idea why the Backup and Restore Service got disabled.

    The solution (perhaps not the only) other than its use yet another USB key was to reformat the drive using a recent quick format WD utility (format Win 7 did not help) and only for the update of security for a newer driver.  Then by making a System Image backup, allowing me to point to the drive. Make a backup and a restore, then make a configuration pointing the disk.  A backup then worked.

  • I want to force a sequence to fail on an error, but also a failure

    I want to force a sequence to fail on an error, but also a failure.  It came because the only way I can find to stop the dialogues of Labview error to arise in TestStand is to use the property to ignore errors of time run on a step. I don't want these dialogues to occur because operators do not know how to deal with them. The problem with using the property to ignore Run Time Error, it now is a step that had a runtime error will not kill the sequence. I really want to interpret a mistake as a failure.

    I found a link to this same question years ago and the answer seems reasonable.  See http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/Force-TestStand-Step-to-Fail-When-Error-Occurs/td-p/435510.

    In this post, I found the following: "use the SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError callback sequence. In this sequence, set Parameters.Step.Result.Status = 'Fail' and Parameters.Step.Result.PassFail = False ". But when I pull up the reminder SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError, niether of these parameters have on the list of parameters. I have Parameters.Step and Parameters.Result, but nothing filled under these broad categories.  I don't know if I have a Setup error, or if the reminder has been changed over the years.

    Someone at - it advice?

    Thank you

    Put a breakpoint in your sequence a little after the step and check the runstate variables to see if they match. This post was made in 2006 and there are a lot of changes since then. Adding in the breakpoint should allow you to see what variables are created at run time, as the passfail. You can then enter in the browser of the expression. When chacking the statement, you will get a warning saying that the syntax may be incorrect, but it's nice. It is also said in this post if you know what you are doing to the variable may be created when running and you will be fine.

    Hello Frederik, Im using external WD drive 3200 ME - 01 and backup on WIN Backup and Restore software on the computer.

    Maltesem

    The Windows backup tool is called from here:

    It generates files backup and files like so:

    E:\ACORN\Backup Set 2015-01-29 230727\Backup files 2015-01-29 230727\Backup 1 zip files.

    What you say seems to disagree with how the native backup tool works.

    This problem is caused by a 3rd party shell extension. To identify the incriminated extension, use ShellExView.

    Viruses such as the behavior of the Acrobat Reader software. I have a laptop running WIN 7 and kaspersky AV. yesterday when I started my laptop I see all the icons from the browser on my QuickStart bar have been changed to the adobe reader icon and also observe that many other programs on my desktop have changed to the adobe reader icon. If you click the icon it opens adobe reader. I deleted Adobe reader using Add or remove programs and the icons back to normal. Yet once, I downloaded and installed Adobe reader 11. the problem has resurfaced. then again, I've uninstalled adobe reader software and installed Adobe Reader version 10 with the same question back. I have now uninstalled Adobe Reader. Please advise on how to install a working copy Adobe reader which will not infect or impinge upon other programs in my laptop.

  • NEITHER 9477 - want to turn off the exits in case of failure of communication/USB

    I've implemented a CDaq Avecquelques modules, which is a NI 9477. I use it turn on and off different parts of the system.

    The system runs a HV PSU, and if it is not common, there is a chance that the system can the CRA. When this happens, it has tendency to act like a bomb of ESD, and who killed the communications OR on a few occasions for us.

    One of the elements which is controlled by the NI 9477 is the power supply, and I want it going now that such a communication problem.

    Is it a possibility at all?

    I hope this is in the event of a fault or the communication, all the outputs (or outputs including) on the NI9477 fall to FALSE.

    If it's something security-critical, 1) you should not use USB and 2) you must use a cRIO or a RT cDAQ chassis.  With these, you can have the figure of the controller off if something went wrong and stop.  With the cDAQ, you're practically dead in the water.
