• What is a Windows 8 certified USB flash drive?

  I just bought my 3rd USB flash drive in the hope of being able to copy my recovery image. My computer would not use the first two I tried all ports USB 4 - port 2.0 and 3.0. This time, I bought a HP flash drive who said that she supports Windows 8. I understand that I should not use a Windows 8 certified USB flash drive. Before I open this disc, I want to know if it's a. If so, I will return it not open - unlike the first two I tried.

  The States of package under requirements that Windows 8 is one of the necessary systems. For me, this does not mean that it is certified for Windows 8. Am I wrong?
  
  Computer: HP 500 - a60. 8.1 Windows (x 64)

  Hello

  Your question has not been answered by Erico on one of your other posts?

  If a piece of equipment is certified MS then it should be presented to MS for certification.  Some USB flash drives are marked on the package compatible with Windows 8, but this does not mean that the particular flash drive is "certified."

  There is to many, many USB flash drives that work with Windows 8. Some have argued that, if the USB flash drive as a 'removable' device, so it should work with the HP Recovery Media Creator.  However, I recently discovered that one of flash USB 2 (team F108 64 G) drives that I is not set up as a 'removable device' when you open my ThisPc (myPC) and it works perfectly for me.

• Trying to recover a Windows 8 compatible USB flash drive

  Can someone help me please? I think that I have a hard drive failure or a fault. It specifies the drive name: TOSHIBA MQ01ABF050 and C:\;D:\ volume. I have a HP Pavilion Sleekbook with windows 8.1 14 TS (I upgraded from the Windows 8 which came with the laptop) and I unconsciously created a recovery image on a USB compatible of Windows 8 successfully when I lived already problems with my portable hard drive. Later, I discovered that it is not recommended to create a recovery image on a USB compatible of windows 8. I hope to just get back to factory settings and wipe out all my files if it can help me my laptop in working condition I have already backed up my important documents to USB. My next question is 1.) The recovery image that I created with the usb it's 8 compatible windows won't work if I try to do a factory reset? 2.) the recovery image I created everything with the mistakes already, will be technically 'clean', which means he has everything needed for a laptop running once I replace my hard drive or perform recovery with hard flow drive up? (3.) I will be able to restore from the recovery partition? or affect the hard drive failure that animate as well? Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance to those who can help me.

  Note: my USB flash drive is also compatible with windows 8 AND 7. Is it possible to transfer only in just a usb compatible windows 7 if I encounter problems because of the compatibility of windows 8 flash player, I used for the creation of recovery image. Thank you.

  The question of compatibility you're talking about is one where many flash drives are seen as a local instead of removable storage disk - and HP Recovery Manager wouldn't use it to create a recovery media. Since you were able to create your USB support has been recognized as compatible for use. You should be fine with recovery use.

• Ultrabook HP 4 t-1100 - hard drives defective - No. DVD player - made HP sells recovery USB flash drives?

  Hello

  I am repairing a laptop HP Touchsmart Ultrabook 4 t-1100 for a friend. The pc wouldn't start. BSOD, would try to repair itself, then BSOD again. I ran the hard drive from the bios test. He said that the hard drive has failed. I bought a new drive hard Western Digital 7mm Blue, replaced the wrong drive, has passed the test to drive hard and then asked my friend if she had the Windows 8 recovery disc or a flash supplied with the computer player.

  Apparently, the recovery discs are not included with Ultrabooks, nor are a recovery flash drive. Being that this computer has been for a schoolgirl teenager, given to him by his mother of the computer-illiterate, nor had the foresight to do a restore of backup USB flash drive. All Ultrabooks do not have a reader of CD/DVD/BLU, so a USB recovery "disk" is necessary.

  I don't have another computer to Windows 8 lying autour to make a USB recovery. Some people sell images of USB recovery on eBay, but they don't seem very good reputation.

  And apparently they do not put the product key of Windows 8 on the bottom of portable computers more either! HP offers to sell a "recovery disc" through their section of the support of their website, but it is obviously not a DVD player to put it in.

  Here's my quandry: If I buy the "recovery disk" HP, they will send me a DVD or a USB FlashDrive with a system image on it? And if they send me DVD, I'll be able to put it in a computer Windows 7 and make a bootable system image that then I could put it on a USB key? Then, Windows will automatically find the product key?

  Hello:

  When I click on the link below, I see an option to order a recovery media USB for this model.

• photos of transfer from windows on a USB flash drive photo gallery

  How to transfer photos from windows photo gallery or my images in a USB flash drive.

  Thanks for your reply, I did as you suggested and tried this. USB appears as a removable drive!

  ======================================
  OK... is it recognized as a hard drive or a mass storage device?

  If you have more than one USB port, try the others.

  If you have several USB devices... it can help
  Unplug everything except the Flash Player.

  When you insert the flash drive into a port USB AutoPlay starts?

• How to install Windows XP using USB Flash Drive in Windows 7?

  I m windows 7 and want to install windows xp, how to install windows xp using a usb flash drive. I have the iso file from xp.

  Hello

  The Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool is designed for the installation of Windows 7, is not for the installation of XP.

  I suggest that you use Google that Microsoft does not support what you want to do.

• USB Flash drive can be used only on 1 computer?

  I have the Cruzer Blade Flash Drive 8 GB USB key.

  It seems that I can use it only on a single computer. I am running Windows XP Home SP3.

  When I try to copy files to the flash drive on the second computer, I get an error message.

  "You are currently on a guest PC you can not create a new online backup. '.

  Please notify.

  DRM

  I decided to call your Technical Support number.

  1-866-SANDISK (726-3475)

  First thing I asked was if I could copy files on the flash drive using SanDisk Secure Access Manager on multiple computers? He said: "Certainly."

  So, then I explained that I was getting the error I described above on computer 2.

  He had me try again. I copied a single 24KO file and this time there was no errors.

  Naturally, I am always intrigued by the error message I received last week. It was agreed that the text of the error message is misleading and can indicate a variety of problems such as a bad sitting flash drive for corrupted data or a user error is a copy & paste or click on & drag. He recommended to click & drag as the best option.

  I make backups more before this closing. But so far so good.

• Cannot access a Windows 7 upgrade USB flash drive

  Upgrade from Vista basic to Windows 7 Home Premium computer accepts flash drive but I can't access it. It is correctly stated in devices & Printers but not in my computer as a lettered drive. Read jasmith31 problem, but do not have a Security tab in properties. No error other than "installed device driver. Help please

  Hi lakeside71,

  This problem mainly occurs when windows 7 does not assign a drive letter for your USB drive. It occurs especially with the new flash drives connected to the computer for the first time. Assigning a new drive as such letter should solve the problem.

  Please follow the steps in the article posted by Shekhar on how to achieve this.

  This should be it.

  Kind regards

• Envy 13 d001ne: cannot install Windows 10 from usb flash drive

  Summary of the problem:

  The laptop SSD has a GPT format. I am trying to insall a Windows 10 ISO I have on it from a flash drive. Formatting a usb startup as TPG manually or using Rufus drive will not make the unit visible non-traditional mode. Formatting the drive in the MBR on the other hand I cannot install on a GPT disk.

  I've tried everything. I disabled and enabled secure boot. I updated the BIOS to the latest revision F.35.

  The ISO had problems with it. I used another and then I could install Linux Mint and Windows without any problem.

  I solved my problem here.

  Yes, if it's the same exact type. To be sure, however, I would suggest creating a new or asking the Lenovo recovery disk. If you need recovery, contact Lenovo support, they can tell you how to access the Lenovo OneKey, that can recover your computer with its parttition to recover.

• 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.

  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:

• Question about creating a recovery (file system) USB flash drive

  Hello and happy new year to all, (I'm from greeece, sorry for the mistakes of language possible)

  (Pavilion dv6-6c01ev - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - bought 08-21-12)

  I want to create a USB stick recovery, and I just bought a USB flash drive 32 GB 3.0 for this reason.

  I've never done it before, but I have read how, according to the this page.

   

  My question is:

  What file system must be the USB key, before the decision-making process? FAT32 or NTFS ?

  Bought, thati USB file system is FAT32 by default.

  I already read that on the page above: 'a message of Recovery Manager opens indicating that the flash drive will be formatted. Click OK to format the USB key and continue. »

  but I would like to have, and a more definite answer from someone who knows better.
  

  So, does change the NTFS file system.

  or should I now start the manufacturing process of the recovery USB flash drive as it is (FAT32)

  Thank you for your help

   

   

  I have already created the recovery USB flash drive, and formatted Recovery Manager the disk before the process,

  and at the end, when the recovery files was written and verifyed.

  I look at the file system of the USB flash drive, and it's NTFS...

  I worried for nothing...

  Thans anyway...

• Laptop HP 15-R084NG: is it possible to copy a HP recovery on another USB flash drive support?

  Hello.

  Just a few questions please:

  1. when I do only once "HP Recovery Media" to a USB key, I can then 'copy' and 'paste' on another USB flash drive as long as the 2nd flash player has sufficient capacity?

  The recovery still works well?

  I ask this question in case I have to change to another USB flash drive and I am aware I can only have a copy of the HP recovery.

  2. If this is the case, I then can also make a backup on a Western Digital external drive so that in case of malfunction of the USB flash drive, can I still transfer files to another USB flash drive?

  Thanks in advance for the answer.

  Best regards.

  Hello

  Copy / paste do not work. Please, try the following method:

• Laptop HP 17 p100: how the usb flash drive big that I have to create a system of 10 Windows Recovery?

  How the big usb flash drive do I need to create a system of 10 Windows Recovery?

  Yes

  Hello;

  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

  There is really no way accurately guess in advance, with one of the reasons being that the options are available when you do this.  An option creates a recovery drive minimum with what is needed to repair the operating system.  Another option creates an image that is able to completely restore the operating system and its partition.  Thus, the size can vary from 4 GB to the size of the partition to the OS.

  Myself, I found as build-in recovery to be unreliable, especially those of Ms.  So instead, I use a third-party imaging/restoration solution known as Macrium Reflect.

  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

  My experience is that SIR, when you use the option of Compression high, typically allows to compress the image file recorded at about 50% of the space USED in the OS partition.  This means that if you have a 40GB and 80GB OS partition is used, MR must only about 20 GB to store the image file.

  I use all the time and it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make the backup of the image and at the same time or less do a restore.  In addition, MR has the ability to add a recovery Boot Menu entry.  This then allows you to boot into Windows re, and then you can use it to do a restore - when you cannot start Windows!

  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  Good luck
