What size Minimum of USB drives?

Hello

I have a HP Pavilion dm1z-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC.

I know that the maximum would be a 32 GB USB, but what is the minimum size to which I'll need to create a recovery USB USB key.

Thank you

Wooden

Hello:

Look at the size of your recovery partition.

You will probably need a car big enough to fit this size for the recovery disc.

  • Envy DV7: What size/form factor hard drive is in my laptop?

    Good evening.

    Well, my desire for two year, died the other day care of overheating the chronic problems that seem struck Envys at this time. My block of cooling died beforehand, that was probably the cause of the rise in temperature. Yep, that burning smell of rubber from the exhaust vents was kind of present that something was wrong, as well as the characters of ding strange wing that the display has been put in place and the intense heat of the keyboard who suddenly developed. Unfortunately, it was out of warranty. I really liked this PC, too.

    In any case, I would remove the hard disk that is inside to retrieve the data using an external hard drive enclosure but I need to know what size or form factor of the hard drive is to buy the appropriate forum. I guess it's a 2.5-inch form factor. Is this correct?

    Thank you very much

    Bob

    Yes, it is 2.5 inches. You can just buy SATA TO USB adapter:

  • If you use SSD what size minimum, you can use I'll just install the softwar winds 7 operation and put all the other programs on a hard drive Sata is the way it should be done?

    I'm building a new PC, I have the motherboard and it has a location for an SSD, this who has the ability of minium are? and if this store just drive the sofware opererating only, as I intend to have all my programs and data on a SATA hard drive is the way to corect to go? Could someone ' a please advise please.

    The minimum I recommend is 80 GB, if you can go for 128 GB to 160 GB, I would go for it.

    Windows 7 uses 10 GB of disk space, and you have to take into account future, Service Packs and updates.

    You must also consider your page file size that will depend on the amount of RAM you have installed.

    Other disk space requirements include your programs and hardware drivers.

    The benefits of having an SSD is to accelerate the performance of the operating system and applications. In order to have a just installed SSD for upgrading the operating system on a mechanical HDD as well as your programs wouldn't make sense. Store content or data that you create on the HARD disk.

  • HP Envy 17 t: what size usb drive is necessary for the recovery of HP Envy 17 t 10 (64-bit) Windows?

    I just installed my HP Envy and wanted to set up a recovery disk.  The USB key must be less than 32gigs, but the example has not been updated for Windows 10 the instructions say.  It shows a recovery screen for a laptop of Win8 with the source of recovery like 17 concerts.   Is there a way to check the requirements for the front to accept the HP one time recovery option.  I have a new 16 GB USB key and wanted to make sure that it is large enough.

    Also do a backup image to DVD?   If so, how many DVDs?   The laptop is new and I added only Chrome and some minor programs.  My data files are always on an external hard drive.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    To be honest, I don't know what size will be that these recovery files are because they can vary from the version of Windows to another. They can vary from a model.

    In my opinion, 16 GB is probably not enough.

    DVDs are usually 6 (6x4.7 GB = about 28 GB) but this can vary from one model.

    This possibility of imbedding maybe once, there are other ways that you can save your system indefinitely.

    This is a free option included in all windows (creating system image, it's free as included in Vista from the outset).

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03544793

    However, this option requires (e.g. USB HDD) external HARD disk or DVD. It does not work with USB flash drives.

    It will be a requirement of storage 16 GB or 32.

    Hello

    my old man (I'm a student, so no money for a new) Portege 7100 (ct) has a small hard drive, so I want to shift to a bigger... but what size HARD drive supports the 7100ct? (and that's a 1.8 "or can I use drives 2.5"?)

    thx for any help...

    Hello

    As far as I know that your unit has standard 2.5 "hard drive. Unfortunately there is no public record of such information. Accurate information, you can get that from accredited service partner or even some HARD drive supplier.
    In my opinion, your device must be able to manage with maximum up to 8 or 10 GB HARD drive. For me, we know that some offering it can manipulate the BIOS with special tools and after that BIOS recognize a much larger capacity HARD drive.

    Try to pick up some information on the net service partner or call your country. I believe that consultation service is free.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I think that the L40 supports disk HARD 2.5 SATA and he s not what size HARD drive is important.
    The laptop must manage each 2.5 SATA HDD.
    500 GB 2.5 HDD is currently the largest on the market, but in the next time you will find the 2.5 SATA HDD that supports 1 TB (1000 GB).

  • PowerEdge 2900 - size USB drive external Maximum

    Hello

    I inherited the responsibility for a Poweredge 2900 server last year. Recently, asked me to mount a NTFS 5 TB external USB drive.

    This failed with the following message is displayed:

    $ mount/mnt/external_usb_3
    Cannot read the last sector (1220940596): invalid argument
    TIPS: The volume is a RAID/LDM, but it was not yet, the installer
    or it was not setup correctly (for example by not using not not mdadm - build...).
    or a bad device tries to be mounted,
    or the partition table is corrupt (partition is smaller than NTFS).
    or the NTFS boot sector is corrupt (size NTFS is not valid).
    Failed to mount ' / dev/sdf1 ': invalid argument
    The device "/ dev/sdf1 ' is not a valid NTFS partition.
    Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the entire disk instead of one
    partition (/ dev/hda, not/dev/hda1)? Or vice versa?

    I know the Poweredge 2900 has a limit of drive HARD internal 2 TB because of the PERC5 / i controller. Is this also true for external USB drives? Or is this another limitation HW or OS? I was reading the documentation and found no (or too looked) the answer.

    Is it possible to mount a drive of this size of form/repartitioning fitness?

    Thank you

    I don't think that USB would have this type of prescription, unless there was a problem of driver forbidding him. Material, I would say 'no '.

  • Help move my datastore on external USB drive to reformat with correct block size

    Hello

    I use a Dell PowerEdge 2650 with a 550 GB disks configured in RAID 5 with ESX 3.5i

    When I installed ESX I didn't pay attention to the size of the block. This is the default 1 MB and so I reached the maximum extends. Which means that I can receive only 260 GB on my 550 GB.

    I need to change the parameter to a block size of 4 MB in order to access the entire table.

    But for this I need to move my existing data store that contains a lot of important files for me.

    I have not any currenty server with 260/300 GB of free space.

    I'll try the following:

    1. connect an external USB drive. I have ssh running, but I'm having difficulties to climb. I looked for info, but I am always sick.

    2. If possible, I would like to compress using gzip great records in my data store before moving. Can advise you on the location of the files in the system and if it is possible to do?

    Thank you

    Chris

    It is clear now,

    in this case if your VM's you buy a big enough hard drive 250 GB single VMDK file to copy all virtual machine configuration, not he zip or compress, you can screw all of the data on disk

    I have an idea, depends on the amount of data you have on your virtual hard disk, you can use VMware converter 4.0.1 and clone your VM with discs thin provision, Vmware converter will be "zipp" your VMDK file to the exact size of your data without any risk that would have lost you all your data.

    1 use vmware converter to clone your VM with discs thin provisioned

    2. low source VM

    3. start the VM 'new' and check if it works well

    4. If 4 is OK, stop VM 'nine '.

    5. copy the new virtual machine on your USB key (set the USB you your workstation and you winscp to copy the virtual machine)

    6 remove VMFS datastore

    7. create the new VMFS datastore

    8 download VM to the new data store

    9. creating the new virtual machine based on a VMDK file

    10. start the virtual machine

    see you soon
