X100e factory recovery from USB

I have just had a X100e and tried to create a factory recovery disks. He gave me the choice to use a USB key that I had plugged. I chose who, and it is passed through stages that said he was reformatting the drive, write the startup commands and write the other stuff. In the end, I have a stick with more than 5G of things on it, very much resembling a full backup of the collection material. However, it does not start. Try to boot from this stick says he has no operating system installed.

This is the first time I tried this generation of drive recovery factor for a ThinkPad with anything other than the CDRs. I can't try again, you get only one shot. Can someone tell me what is the problem?

  • 7020us dv7: Hp Dv7 7020us try to reinstall windows 7 from USB with new HD and RAM sticks.

    Hello

    In a bit of an affair with my Dv7. The laptop started to meet a load of startup error. Try using the recovery in Start menu tool led to a blank screen. You try to start windows normally flashed a blue screen too fast to read and then started the boot sequence all over again. I made a recovery from USB on my HP m6 s SO. However try to boot from the drive did nothing to change the way the computer tries to start.

    I decided to simply upgrade to a 1 TB Toshiba HD and 16 GB of RAM. Everything installed with ease by making sure that I was not on the carpet and have myself grounded to the metal structure of the laptop while working on it. However, starting with the new HD, I get the error SMART 301. If I try to run a diagnosis of HD happens "Not available" as the result of INTELLIGENT analysis and short-and long-term. I don't get then the no display device bootable detected. I tried to play with all the settings of the BIOS without changing boot.

    I don't know what to do now any guide I found said to use the recovery disk/drive in the boot menu. All of the guides I found for the creation and verification of a recovery device assumes that you have access to a functional desktop.

    Could I really have gotten a bad HD or s it showing not available because it is not configured for the SMART test?

    Any help is appreciated. I really enjoyed the two Dv7 I've owned and do not want it to turn into a paperweight.

    Although he remained until about 03:00, I had actually work on my own after few more search.

    I found a discussion saying that USB flash drives created using the Recovery Manager contains the recovery tool, but not a copy of windows for the restoration of the system. Given that I made a copy of the recovery media with my m6 SO, I was out of luck.

    Do some research more I found an article from a reputable site which links to a mirror of the files digitalriver. I don't link or discuss much more I know most of the forums do not like the word 't'.

    I however checked checksum SHA1 file against the official registration of the ISO file windows.

    Formatted the USB stick which was the Manager of recovery on it and turned it into a bootable USB key. Downloaded the drivers listed on the site of HP to get my WiFi market to download the rest of them directly on the Dv7.  All checks very well now. The 1 TB HD no longer displays the 301 error.

    I tried to reset the BIOS and make also a BIOS for emergency return to zero. Not more than anything.

    Thanks for the reply it would have been interesting to see what we could have done.

    Can you confirm what I've read about the creation of recovery media regarding the USB is different from a CD?

  • Portege R500-12 s - problem of recovery (Boot from USB)

    Hello

    I tried several days reinstall this laptop (Toshiba PORTÉGÉ R500-12 s). I reinstall drive, but it has no CD-ROM included, so I'm fighting with booting from the USB port, with my external hard drive. Those that the BIOS loads even boot from USB? Because there is no alternative USB inside the boot priority. I noticed that I can choose from, what I think is alternative of different startup in start up, when I press the F12 key. When I press the F12 key and choose USB, I just pup up to a similar cmd command line.

    Reinstall is the only option because my laptop is super slow, and I have no restore file (CD) on my laptop

    Ultimately is it possible to reinstall windows via USB boot, or do I have to buy an external CD-ROM drive? Which is the last thing I want to do. Advice or assistance on how I'm going to do this?

    Thanks in advance :-)

    I put t know if this is possible, but if you can visit Toshiba service in your city, ask them for help. They have all the external devices and also external optical drive.
    Buy a coffee and ask if they can install just image recovery using your recovery DVDs. I m that they will help you with this.

    By the way: you can not install OS using the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. Laptop can't see it.
    What you need is the optical disk drive.
    Also, try to borrow a somewhere.

  • NB100 - Recovery vs iso from usb DVD

    Hello!

    I bought Toshiba NB100 with pre-installed XP Home Edition and now I want to reinstall it using Toshiba Recovery DVD I got with the netbook.
    The problem is that I have no DVD player in this laptop and I don't want to buy a scanner of the Clerkship - here's what I did to start an iso image of this dvd from USB:

    1. first of all, I did an iso image of the recovery DVD Toshiba using UltraISO app (and called it TOSHIBA.iso) - I checked the image in one of the virtual machines: all went well so I think the image is ok
    2. I used GRUB4DOS app to make my folder of grldr bootable, copied to usb stick to the root of my USB catalogue, created from images of boot/path/and copied it my TOSHIBA.iso image and created the menu.lst looking like this:

    TOSHIBA recovery DVD title
    find--set-root /boot/images/TOSHIBA.iso
    map - mem /boot/images/TOSHIBA.iso (hd32)
    map - hook
    chainloader (hd32)
    rootnoverify (hd32)

    The menu.lst file has been placed in the catalogue of the root of the USB.

    3 then I rebooted netbook, changing the order of startup in the BIOS and GRUB was loaded with option of TOSHIBA Recovery DVD - but when I chose him, after the ISO is loaded into memory, I get GRUB error 19 with the message "can not mount selected partition".

    I would be very grateful if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong.
    Kind regards
    Artur

    Hey Artur thank you very much
    It's a very useful experience and I hope that other NB100 owners will be happy to read your thread.
    Thanks again and I hope you say with us and help other NB100 owners with advice and tips.

    BTW:
    You can now install from USB recovery image?
    Do you use the compatibility mode or it works with AHCI mode also?

  • Unable to boot from USB or ODD after that windows 8.1 update on P850 - 31L

    Hello

    I just updated a P850 - 31L for windows windows 8.1 8 by the windows store.

    Before the update, I was able to boot from a USB key by pressing F12 during the boot upward.

    After the update I was more able to boot from the USB drive. Select the USB key by changing the boot order in the setup of the BIOS via F2 or pressing F12 is no longer works.

    Booting from ODD also is no longer possible.

    The version of the BIOS is 6.70 and does not secure boot must be disabled. However the DVD and the USB I tried are signed Ubuntu 12.10, who worked before the upgrade. Fastboot in windows 8.1 is disabled.

    Then, this seems to be a bug in the BIOS Toshiba? Or a windows 8.1 update the BIOS or the boot EFI in a way partition replace the BIOS setting? Really stuck here, does not seem to be much information.

    Any ideas or help would be very appreciated!

    Thank you

    Michael

    Update: I just tried to boot from the DVD of windows recovery 8 Toshiba and this does more or the other.

    Post edited by: michael_toshiba_forum

    OK I fixed that.

    First of all, it is to note that it is possible to turn off secure in the 6.70 BIOS startup.
    However this option is only available when the password is not defined in the Security menu.

    After activation or deactivation of the password a reboot is necessary to make the secure boot toggle option is available or not.

    It's good that I guess I assume that it can prevent secure boot are disabled when the machine is running. However this does not seem to have been associated with this problem.

    I selected the option "reset to factory defaults" in the output menu.
    The machine is then able to boot from USB and DVD. The boot order was also respected.

    Perhaps upgrading windows 8.1 corrupt invisible somehow the BIOS settings. Or maybe it was just a stranage coincidence that the BIOS itself corrupted during the installation. Anyway this factory reset fixed.

  • Hard drive does not start after the use of the recovery on USB Manager

    The hard drive on HP G62t - 350 CTO Notebook to my newphew failed. I could create a USB recovery in the Recovery Manager. I installed a new 120 GB SSD. The original hard drive was bigger, do not remember now but 250 or 500 GB. I know that the recover the system after the hard is replaced (Windows 7) said "to avoid problems, install a hard drive as big or bigger than the replaced hard disk", but that's a question for later.

    Computer started fine of USB (in fact, is set to boot from USB if present by default). Recovery Manager starts. I choose minimum installation. He goes through the process of partitioning the SSD and copying files. Said so to remove the external media and restart, the computer will restart several times during the process, blah, blah, blah. I get out of USB and restarted, but after POST I get "no bootable media present.

    If I try to reboot, leaving the USB in, it starts in USB and that we are at the beginning. I am able to confirm with a rescue disk, the SSD has an NTFS partition that had Windows files copied to it and a large amount of unallocated space. (Something like 60% / 40%).

    So:

    1. How make bootable hard drive for, and if it was bootable, recovery processes complete?
    2. What is happening with the partitions? He creates the partition recovery first, and then after the start, the recovery partition installs the operating system? If so, I might have to give up this process because since I'm moving to smaller storage, I don't want to devote half of the drive to a recovery partition.
    3. Official recovery media help? A technician told me that he would do so, but couldn't explain to my satisfaction why the USB I created with Recovery Manager does not work, so I'm suspicious of the assertion that the media created by HP as opposed to media created by me using the own HP software would be better, and since the computer is under warranty I don't want to spend $30 + to find out.

    Most of the people who have installed an SSD that was smaller than the reader of the factory were unable to use any medium recovery HP with the SSD.

  • EliteBook 1040 2: Boot From USB

    I looked at some other posts about it, but they were not helpful and tried a hat with the support of HP, but it was pretty useless. Without knowing it, I created a problem on my new laptop using EaseUS Partition Master to create a new partition which converted the drive in Dynamic.I only mention this as it may be relevant to the current problem.

    Now I can not create a recovery USB and can't the disk image. I made a backup of Windows with the backup system. Currently I am trying to boot from a USB key that contains the Hirens Boot environment. I tried this UB in my Dell and who will start in the environment of Hiren. Anyway, I went into the BIOS, inheritance and set the boot order to boot from USB first, but the computer will not.

  • 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.

    So I want to reload Windows from my USB flash drive.
    The BIOS boot sequence is the USB HDD - FDD - FD - CD memory.

    What are the steps for loading Windows USB flash drive?

    If that does not work then I want to connect another laptop with Windows CD in the CD - DVD drive laptop.
    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:

  • HP recovery media does not, need to do the second set of recovery on USB media.

    Hello

    I have a new HP Envy laptop that I have created a set of recovery on six DVD media.  These work very well, but are a pain in the end to keep pending next DVD to load.

    So I tried to make another recovery media and place it on a USB key.  Discovered, that it will not allow a second value created.

    So I then ordered and paid for a recovery of HP media.  A beautiful labeled Microsoft USB key came. Great, I thought.

    My laptop because of my fault I failed and wouldn't boot.  So I decided to use my new HP USB stick and after that go into the BIOS and disable the boot from USB stick and start secure etc as he said to it returned with an error that "this computer can not be recovered from this media!"

    I then pluged in my DVD - ROM external and used drive recovery media that I did and it worked perfectly!

    I tried the live chat with a technical person of HP and they checked the serial number and said I got what should work.  They could do a repair ticket and send the laptop.

    It makes no sense to me as I have the unit upwards and running, but I wanted to know how I could get a USB work recovery media.

    I ended up saying goodbye as they were of no help.

    My questions are:

    (1) why this media does not work?

    (2) is it possible to make a second set of recovery media?

    (3) is there a way to transfer my recovery media DVD 6 on a USB?

    OLD POST > I first noticed the order said it was a pn 735088-002 and a sticker outside the wand that has the same number, BUT when he looks at a name on the flash drive is 735088-DB2... >

    UPDATE:

    The new USB recovery media came today from HP.   He had again the same top part number that the original order has been 735008-002, BUT this time the corresponding came USB drive name to the tile. 735008-002 , I inserted this new media and it is fully charged.

    Thank you for all your help.

I think that the USB files are not read. as I handed the old HD and attached to boot from USB but it just goes to the start screen.

    Go into the BIOS, use the tab of the System Configuration.

    Enable Legacy Support.

    Plug the USB key into one of the usb ports.

    Press the F10 key to save the changes and exit.

    Now, press the F9 key to select the first boot option.

  • How to restore files deleted from usb?

    I deleted the file from usb by accident. How can I restore them?

    I deleted the file from usb by accident. How can I restore them?

    What do you mean by "USB"? You ask for something like a USB key or external hard drive?

    If so, read the following:

    "Deleting" a file does not delete actually it brand just space be used. There are third-party programs that can sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and this makes the unrecoverable file.

    So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent, if you try it again immediately after deleting it and quickly down. If you use the drive since then, your chances can be very weak now.

    But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop using the drive in question immediately, if you haven't done so already. Download a program to undelete (to here is one: http://www3.telus.net/mikebike/RESTORATION.html but there are many other choice; do a search)

    If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the drive to a professional file recovery company. This kind of service is very expensive and may or may not work in your case.
