Windows 8 USB Bootable Disk

Hello world

My partners son has a HP Pavilion Notebook 15-e005tx. The hard drive has failed. It is out of warranty. I got a new hard drive but I obviously need to create a bootable USB drive to get the laptop going again. This laptop came pre-installed with Windows 8. I understand that the product key is encrypted in the BIOS and I wouldn't be able to see. The computer on which I would create the bootable USB running Windows 10. When I try to run the installer of Windows 8 I understand that he will ask the product key of Windows 8. I also understand that Microsoft can verify the version of Windows, the computer is running and that the key of the corresponding product. How can I get the product key for the computer laptop 15-e005tx so that I can boot Windows from USB to get the laptop going again. Unfortunately he never made a recovery disc so I'm a bit stuck.

Thanks for any help

Hello

Yes, you are correct that Windows 8, product key is previously injected into the chip/BIOS and not provided to users physically. Thus, it is difficult to recover their form the computer.

You can try to contact the manufacturer of your laptop and see if they can help you to recover the product key or to buy the key. To do this, you can see the article mentioned below.

    Hi mifocc,

    ·         What is the brand and model of the USB?

    Check if there is no slide switch on the side that provides protection against Scripture. This spectacle of a lock closed and open on each side.

    I suggest you follow these steps.

    (1) Insert the USB key into the USB port.

    2) click Start, type devmgmt.msc in the search text box and press ENTER.

    (3) find hard drives and expand it.

    (4) find the USB flash drive you want to format, and then double-click it. He opens the Properties dialog box.

    5) click on the policies tab.

    (6) the default option optimize for quick removal of the selected options, put it to optimize for performance, and then press OK.

    (7) now, open computer. Right click on the USB Flash drive and select format. The Format dialog box will now appear.

    (8) in the file system field, select NTFS.

    9) Press Start and wait while the process will be completed.

    You can also connect the USB on a different computer and try formatting.

  • Can I create a recovery bootable USB through disk utility?

    My HARD drive is dying, I can't access my Macintosh HD partition anymore and I can't reinstall OS because I SMART errors. Before the format and reinstall the attempt to load slow my computer, random errors, etc. So I definitely think that the HARD drive is near death. My plan is to replace my HDD for a Virgin SSD, I perform this task several times on computers of the victory but for MAC, I wonder how I will load the new OS. Can I make a bootable USB with the recovery partition, but on a USB key tools? Unofrtunately I have more available Mac to create the USB bootable through itunes.

    My computer is the MacBook Pro (13-inch mid 2010), I have also all original packaging somewhere, if there is a CD that I can use, I certainly can get too.

    Any advice?

    Thank you!

    Apple have this to do a USB installation...

    Create an installer for OS X - Apple support bootable

    Another option is to use the diskmakerx.com application

    You must have the OS installer downloaded to make these methods of work is probably not practice on your failed drive.

    Both of these options are to run a 'normal' operating system too. The recovery partition is not 'normal '.

    Another option is to use the Internet recovery mode if your Mac supports...

    Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support

    On macOS recovery - Apple Support

    Use wired ethernet for best results, since it will download a bootable OS & then download the installer of the OS also.

    I suspect you have the update of the firmware installed to add this feature if it has been updated over the last 3 years

    You may be able to generate a score of alternative recovery to another disk (such as a USB key) If you want to just "compensation of base OS.

    OS X: on Recovery Disk Wizard - Apple Support

    A last solution would be to clone your drive failing on an external drive (or use the new SSD in a proper case). That can be done in the modes of recovery via disk utility. Basically, you use a feature to "restore" to clone one volume to another. (I don't see clear instructions for the moment so ask if you want to pursue this option).

    You may not be able to start the XP Installer since the machine is new. Go around it and achieve your plan running XP, you can run it by using a virtual machine like VirtualBox. See this video on how to do in this regard.

  • Windows 7 USB Flash drive - if I click on Scan and difficulty after you insert the disk, it erases my files

    Original title: Windows 7 USB/Flash drive problems

    In Windows 7, if I plug in my USB drive, the message box appears titled ' do you want to scan and difficulty of removable disk (e :))?»  If I click on Scan and Fix, he deletes my files (or so I thought).  I hope that the files are still there and I have simply can't see because the drive is FAT32 and not NTFS (it says that most of the drive is NOT of free space, so I assume that the files are still there).  What should I do to see / access files?

    Note: A reader, I never selected "Scan and repair"... so I can still see/access files.
    On the other drive, however, the first time I plugged it on Windows 7, I clicked Scan and Fix and it erased all the files on this drive (I guess).  This of course got me very angry.

    Hi MichaelGramm,

    It seems that the file format has been corrupted. You might consider formatting the drive in NTFS file system and check if this solves the problem. For Windows 7, the best choice for hard disks is NTFS.

    Note: Make sure that you back up the data before formatting the disk.

    See these articles for more information on formatting disks and flash player:

    Caution:

    Formatting erases all existing files on a flash drive. If you format a flash disk that has files on it, the files will be deleted.

    Hope this information helps.

  • I created the USB bootable windows 7, but its not start...

    Help me please you very soon,

    I'm waiting for all and very valuable answers...

    You wrote before you set the BIOS to boot from the DVD & USB before the hard drive.  That's why he doesn't want - it should just start from them.  As you say that it begins just Windows, then it does not detect the existence of the bootable USB key.

    These are the controls, I think you should do:

    [Do not use cables of USB extension for these tests as they can distort the results.  Connect the USB key directly into the PC].

    1 check the boot settings, that you saved in your BIOS - check you have to boot from USB as the first element in the list.

    2 while under Windows, check in Control Panel, Manager of devices for possible errors in all USB devices [but error checking in all devices while you're there].  Connect the USB bootable for this audit.

    3 look at the contents of memory in Windows explorer.  You will need to set it to show hidden files & show system files [alt, t then folder options, display], I'm not sure.  The unit should have something like this [the list is for my Home Premium x 64 then there might be some variations; mine is a total of 3.3 GB]:

    files
    Autorun.inf
    Bootmgr
    Bootmgr.EFI
    Setup.exe

    records
    boot
    EFI
    sources
    support
    upgrade

    4. do you have bootable USB sticks [any DVD] that you can use to test whether the system or the Win7 USB installation that is causing the problem?

    5 look in the manual of your PC for the key you need to get to the menu "start options".  Andre says above, it is often F12 but not always – only the manual of your PC or the PC manufacturers site can tell you.  Put the USB then restart and, as soon as appears the logo of the manufacturer of the computer, press this button.  It will show you a menu short that lists devices that the system can boot from.  If your USB drive is not on the list then the system does not recognize that there is a bootable USB device.
