  How to replace a bad IDE disk with a USB Flash drive system - and have all the functionality of XP Pro SP3
  Given a PC without hard disk...
  How can you use a flash drive instead?
  So, indeed, the USB key works as an SSD...
  I saw online options that gives partial functionality of the system... and an option that is more than $100 (more than the system's worth)...
  None of these options are acceptable in the circumstances.
  It is an effort to create a machine for a particular use, built from a recycled pc for which hard drive was removed and destroyed by the original owner...
  The criterion is that it must work just like it was a mechanical drive running xp pro sp3 with all updates, etc...
  Thanks for any help.

  You can not install XP on a Flash as his unsupported drive. Your only two options are a traditional hard drive or Solid State Drive (SSD).

• Satellite A300: Vista 64 bits after the new installation by using the recovery disk

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 A300 / M00 and when I got it, it had Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. But after awhile, I started to have problems so I decided to reinstall Vista on my laptop. After crossing with the product recovery media, my system become so 64-bit.

  Was not my system suppose to have 32-bit when it was originally with her?
  If no, then how can I install 32 bit once more on my laptop like 64-bit gives me problems with the installation of some of my programs.

  If I need to buy a copy of Vista 32 Bit, where can I find the drivers for my system, because the product recovery media has all the drivers on this subject.

  Thank you for your time.

  Hmm. Your ad is a little confusing.

  Why would you say that Toshiba Recovery disk contains a version of Vista 64-bit?
  How did you check that?
  From my experience, the Toshiba recovery disc still contains the preinstalled operating system.

  Also as much as I know the new notebook from Toshiba are not delivered with the recovery disk, but with a HARD drive recovery option.
  This option allows you to reinstall the OS from the second partition of HARD drive recovery.
  Alternatively, you can use the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator software to create the own recovery DVDs! And this recovery disk contains the same preinstalled OS!

  Good bye

• Qosmio G10-133 - Install Qosmio Player and using the recovery disk

  Hi again.

  My g10-133 was the mother of uypgraded installed by Toshiba that there are back and forward in his first year with problems of graphics chip, so they installed the motherboard with the 6200 chip chart.

  Until very recently, I installed Windows XP to one of my dead computers that I've ever had anywhere with my original recovery qosmio disc such that it has been damaged. I recently bought an other G10 as I wanted to replace the keyboard and display and it came with disks,

  I put in a raw player. I used the recovery of the Qosmio player disc, and this indicates that it is complete. I then installed the Toshiba Recovery disk that has Windows MCE on it. (I have now three original copies of the present). But when windows go to start, the computer gets past the Bios and then quickly goes to the blue screen of death... I tried to use break so that I can read this, but it does not work. I tried more than a windows disk, but not joy. I also had special instructions for Toshiba, which has the Qosmio updater on him, and also another drive which has some additional drivers.

  So far, I've tried all sorts and whenever I go to start the laptop, it crashes. The Toshiba recovery disc has two methods that an automatic and a step forward on (which I don't have a clue how to use). The automatic, which does not implement the normal windows installation, but evokes a Toshiba says... and it goes from 0% to 100% and ends each time.

  If I use my Windows XP disk from another pc it install fine. and the laptop is fine until it reaches download Windows SP3, which seems to slow everything down.

  I would like to install the Qosmio to style factory if pos.

  What you need to help your service provider which has replaced the motherboard. A long time ago I heard talking of this and what I know is that the machine must be ready for use: This means service must update the BIOS, verify compatibility of memory, RAID functions are not the same, Bios, EC/KBC and DMI must be updated and rewritten. The laptop owner must be willing to work with new hardware components.

  If I m remembering well this new mainboard has different chipset and recovery image that you are trying to install has really bad drivers inside. With other words: after the Exchange system motherboard drivers and the Qosmio Player require an update.

  You know the whole process is a bit complicated, but, as far as I know, Toshiba service provider must send you instructions for Qosmioplayer update and instructions for the update tool.

  At the moment I can't help you. Please call again and ask for help. If you will not get any help it let us know.

• ESXi installed on a USB flash drive - what happens to the remaining space?

  ESXi requires only 1 GB of the flash player, so I wonder if the remaining space could be used for other purposes - for example, files storage logs or something? Or ESXi reserves the rest of the space?

  The remaining space remains unused. Volumes VMFS as well as scratch location requires storage 'rapid '.

• Satellite L675 - 11 H - cannot access and/or played on USB flash drive files

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L675 - 11H and tried to transfer files from a USB Pendrive on my hard drive from Toshiba. The files were already transferred from my old laptop (HP - XP) on my USB flash drive.

  Unable to access the USB flash drive to any of the USB ports that I connect my new laptop flash drive. What could be the problem here? Thank you for your help or tips!

  Hey Rush,

  Can you post more detailes about this behavior? What happens if you connect your laptop HARD drive, you don't see that Windows installs the drivers for the new USB device or do you have an error message? If you have connected the USB check of Windows disk management if she s recognized there (Control Panel > system and security > administrative tools).

  Have you tried other USB devices such as USB mice? If they don t work too the problem might be connected to the USB ports. In this case, you must delete all the USB ports on the Device Manager and restart your laptop. Also the chipset driver update might help.

• 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.

• Why is my 64 GB USB Flash Drive "not a backup location valid?

  I tried to turn it to a previous question, but reading of the Code of conduct for this forum, I discovered that it was inappropriate to do that.  My apologies for this.

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit SP1, installed using Toshiba recovery disks (I have a new Toshiba laptop, when I got the system I opted to not have a recovery partition).  I just cleaned all the bloatware off Windows, ran Windows Update until there was no more updates for (achieved in this way SP1), and now I have a fresh and clean windows installation, which has never even been to a single Web site.  Now, I am trying to create a system image on a 64 GB flash drive (I won't even finish by using half of it, as my SSD has only about 19 GB used, and which includes the hibernation file (I disabled the pagefile, because paging files are unkind to SSDs))

  Before, I asked if it was possible to manually create a System Image of Windows 7 on a USB Flash drive (big), and I got two answers 'Yes' to two stars of the community. (See my question here)  It is also stated that it is possible on windows.microsoft.com, here.  Note that when windows.microsoft.com stipulates "the system image must be saved on a hard drive, reference is made to automatic creating system images.  If you keep reading, you'll see that the page says that if you want to manually create a a system image, this image of the system may be recorded on optical discs, a USB Flash drive or a hard drive.  If it is possible, then why will I have the following problem?

  64 GB USB Flash Drive inserted--> closed Autoplay dialogue--> Opened "My Computer"--> Right-clicked drive E (my flash drive) and the selected format--> Unchecked 'Quick Format'--> size of the NTFS system chosen and 4096 bytes of cluster--> Clicked 'Format' and acknowledged that all the data will be deleted--> waited a while for the form to fill out, then clicked OK--> closed 'My Computer'--> ejected my flash player by clicking on 'remove hardware safely'--> physically unplugged flash drive--> Grabbed a diet coke with ice--> inserted 64 GB USB Flash drive--> AutoPlay dialog closed--> opens the start--> Clicked "All programs" Menu--> clicked maintenance--> click Backup and Restore Center--> clicked on create System Image--> (scans of program for storage devices)--> my flash drive appears under "on a hard drive" and the words 'the drive is not a valid backup location' appear under my FlashDrive being listed.  For reference, "on one or more DVDs" appears just below the text saying "the drive is not a valid backup location."

  My understanding is that what I just tried to do is create an image of the system on an NTFS partition formatted (with a 4 KB cluster size) 64 GB USB Flash Drive.  But it is not letting me!  I understand that I can't plan the creation of automatic system for USB Flash drives, but according to windows.microsoft.com image and two stars of the community, it is indeed possible to "manually" create a system image on a large USB Flash drive, which I think is what I just tried to do.  If there is another way to create a system image, even more 'manually' than what I do (I'm certainly not afraid of the command line, if I need to use it I'm more than happy to do so), please let me know.

  I have a low-quaility SATA 3.0 Gbit/s notebook HDD in an enclosure USB powered bus at low prices, and I was able to create a system on that image.  However, I expect this device to fail shortly.  I also managed to create a system image on a DVD-r virgins.  I did, however, just spend $85 on a 64 GB USB Flash Drive specifically to store an image of the system, which I expect to use to back up Windows 7 with World of Warcraft installed (total size of drive C will be approximately 50 GB; I have not yet downloaded WoW; "I want to overcome this first).

  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thank you!

  1st edit: adding links so people would not need to copy and paste to their address bar and said the last sentence of the last paragraph.

  I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum is frought with for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Two me are familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 7 years without the 1st problem) and Memeo, which has 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from http://memeo.com. You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

  CNET has a lot of reviews of backup program to

  http://download.CNET.com/Windows/backup-software/?tag=contentBody;sideBar.

  Some of them are free (the last time I checked there are 315), some have free trials (more), and some are buying only (more than 200).

  Good luck.

• USB flash drive inviting with message 'write protected '.

  Recently I bought a 32 GB usb flash drive. I used it ok until 3 days ago. Now, I get a message saying "write-protected". There is no switch on the device write protection. How to remove write protection.

  Hello
   
   
  You can remove your usb flash drive write protection using the method below:
  a. open the start menu, in the search bar type regedit, and then press ENTER. This wil open the registry editor.
  b. navigate to the following location:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
  Note:
  If StorageDevicePolicies registry key does not exist, you must create it manually.
  c. highlight StorageDevicePolicies, and then create a new DWORD called WriteProtect (32-bit).
  In the right window, double-click the registration key and set the value to 0 in the value of d.
  Data area, and then press the OK button
  e. restart your computer and try to copy files to your USB drives.
   
  Important note:
  Sometimes, this problem is due to two Windows that have been corrupted registry entries. To resolve this problem, you must use the registry editor to remove the damaged registry entries.
  However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
  For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, proceed as in the KB Article:

• The request cannot be performed because of the I/o device error when opening a USB flash drive

  Original title: USB Flash Drive issues

  So, I tried to open my flash drive on my Dell Inspiron 15 with Windows 8 today to make an assignment. But for some reason some it does not open. This is what appears when I try to open it. I've done many things that are supposed to solve the problem with the ports themselves, but nothing seems to work that makes me think that it is the actual flash player. I don't know what to do all that my University materials are there then I really need to work, or at least find a way to get at least most of my files. Thank you very much for the help in advance.

  Sorry for the late reply Jose. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue.

  This can occur because of one or more of the reasons below:
  1. the currently loaded USB driver has become corrupt or unstable.
  2. your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with a key USB and Windows.
  3. Windows may miss other problems hardware or software updates.
  4. your USB controllers may have become unstable or corrupt.

  Check the disc on another computer flash memory to ensure that the issue is not with the device.

  You can try the methods below:
  Method 1: Uninstall, then reconnect the USB flash drive:
  This method solves the problems where the currently loaded USB driver has become corrupt or unstable.
  1. go in search for, type device manager in the search box
  2. click on Device Manager in the returned list.
  3. click on disk in the list of hardware drives
  4. right click on the USB with the question and click on uninstall.
  5. once the flash player is uninstalled, unplug it.
  6. wait 1 minute and then reconnect the USB flash drive. The driver should load automatically.
  7. look for the USB key in Windows Explorer

  Method 2: Reinstall the USB controllers.
  This method addresses the steps where the USB driver currently loaded became unstable or corrupted.
  1. click on start, type device manager in the start search box, and then click Device Manager.
  2. expand Bus USB controllers. Right click on a device, and then click on uninstall. Repeat for each device.
  3. Once complete, restart your computer. Your USB controllers will automatically install.

  I hope this helps to solve the issue. If you still have the same problem, get back to us.

• How to boot from simulated USB (flash drive) mass storage device?

  I do some development work on the anaconda, the Installer used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux and reconstructions based off of him.  I'm testing support of USB flash drive facilities and would rather test my changes using image files from a USB drive physical - a bit like editing an .iso image to a CD instead of using a physical CD of closure.

  I found a reference to the Framework of Linux-USB Gadget API, which looked exactly like what I was looking for.  After the reconstruction of the almond, I was able to run:

  • modprobe dummy_hcd
  • modprobe g_file_storage file = CentOS - 6.2 - i386 - netinstall.iso

  After that, the office immediately get the image as if I had actually plugged a USB stick with the same content.

  I am also able to connect this virtual USB device to a virtual machine, but when I start the virtual machine, it has no option to boot from the virtual USB device.

  Any ideas?

  VMware Workstation does not directly support boot from USB but you can use a third-party utility called Plop Boot Manager to boot a bootable USB disk and you may be.
