Can't creat a USB Flash key to recover my BIOS

Hi, i've been struggling for a week to make my Notebook back.
From what I've read, I need to make a BIOS recovery from a USB, but I can't get to make this USB key. I'm using a Cruzer Force 32gb Sandisk Pendrive. But the Bios recovery software doesn't recognize it.
I've already tried formatting the drive with FAT32 and rename it to HP_TOOLS. My laptop's recovery partition is missing.
Does it have any limitations? I'm talking about drive size or something else.
My warranty has already expired and I'd like to solve this myself.
Thanks in advance for reading.

  • How do I delete files permanently from a usb flash key? On my mac (Yosemite 10.10) it's telling me the files are deleted, however on plugging key into television they're still there

    I've a problem I've never come across before and it's how to permanently delete files on a usb flash key? I've just migrated from using Windows for 15 years onto Apple iMac and had been deleting files easily and permanently from the key on Windows without any hassle and thought I'd done the same on my iMac but seemingly they're still there as the tele is showing them when key is plugged in, BUT they can not be seen on iMac. I wondered why the key wouldn't take anymore files after, what I thought was, deletion and now I know why-imac hasn't deleted them!
    I've actually gone into Disk Utility and formatted the key in it's usual FAT32 format to finally delete the files.  Anyone any ideas as to why this happens and how to solve this please?
    Many thanks

    In addition to what Drew wrote, remember the Mac has a data fork and a resource fork.
    Here is an old thread but a nice recap by Dr. Smoke
    ._Files
    Note that the ._file files you note are the resource forks of Mac files you copied to the drive from your Mac, and these are only visible when you use the Flash drive on a PC. These are normal and indicate the Flash drive is already formatted for Windows.
    When you copy or save a file from a Mac OS X system to a Windows shared volume or a Windows-formatted disk, the Mac creates two files: the data fork (xxx) and the resource fork (._xxx). This is called Apple Double Format and is normal. The resource fork contains additional data about the file that is exclusive to the Mac that cannot be saved otherwise on Windows-formatted disks. This is new with Mac OS X, as documented in Mac OS X: Apple Double Format Creates File Name With the Prefix '._'.
    The resource fork files (._xxx) are necessary if you want to copy the file back to the Mac and retain the metadata. The resource forks of files are invisible when they are used on the Mac: the Mac OS Extended file system (aka HFS Plus or HFS+) uses forked files, with a file having both data and resource forks.
    You can delete the resource forks on the Windows disk if and only if you don't care about losing the resource fork information should you copy them back to the Mac, such as comments, image preview icon, etc. Some Mac applications use the resource fork data, so deleting the resource fork can be problematic if you copy the file back to the Mac. Likewise moving the file while not also moving its associated resource fork when using the data on a PC can result in problems when using some files again on the Mac.
    You can't prevent the resource forks from being created if you copy or save files from the Mac to the Windows share or Windows-formatted disk via Finder.

    The result was "zero".
    Can anybody answers the following questions too :
    1. Generaly speaking, is it possible to use USB Flash Key Pen Drive under Solaris/Sun Ray Server Soft?
    2. If exists compatibility list of "Solaris Sun Ray Configurations - USB Flash Key Pen Drive Models" - how can I see it?
    3. Is there anywhere resources on USB Flash Key Pen Drive connection under SPARC-Solaris?
    Thanks in advance!

  • How can I create a new recovery key if you automatically removed my trusted device after update do iOS 8?

    How can I create a new recovery key if you automatically removed my trusted device after update do iOS 8?

    Hey -
    I need to do the EXACT same thing, but have no idea how. Has anyone out there done this?
    My situation is a tad different..this is a new Mac (and I'm a brand new Mac user). Tons of querks occur under my original account (videos won't run, Safari won't support certain plug-ins). I spent 6 hours on the phone w/ 4 different Apple Reps and nobody could fix it. A rep finally looked at my MacBook Pro in person today. He created a new account just to see if that would work and under that new account, everything works perfectly fine (no querks, can view video). He tried switching a million settings in my original account to no avail.
    He said to create a new account (as he did) and move my files over to the new account and then go back to the original and delete it. How do you do this?! I can't figure it out! I've got a new account created, but of course it just has the default folders in it w/ the little red icons next to them! Thanks in advance!

  • Can I create MacOS on flash drive to run broken Imac?

    So I've got an Imac that's all brokedy. Won't start up. I tried reinstalling Snow Leopard 10.6.7 on it from a boot disk, but got referred to Disk Utility. Disk Utility told me that the GB 500 drive was so fricked up that Disk Utility can't do a thing with it, I have to take it to a repair shop. But the Apple MacIntosh HD that's INSIDE the GB500 drive checks out OK according to Disk Utility.
    It occurred to me that I could maybe install the Snow Leopard software into a flash drive and run the computer off of it, accessing the data and software on the MacIntosh HD via the flash drive, and at least being able to salvage important files that way. I'll need at least a 16 Gig flahs drive for that, no biggie, but my question is: is this feasible or some mad fantasy I've created out of an absurd desire not to get my wallet hijacked by Apple?

    I think you'll find that your Hard Drive is failing, I hope you have some form of backup.
    Your idea of creating a bootable flash drive could work but it will be useless if your HDD fails which according to your SMART status could happen soon.
    I would make a full backup of your hard drive onto an external hard drive using Time Machine or another preferred backup method.
    Then I would look into replacing the drive by myself or taking it to an Apple Store.
    Good Luck!

  • Can I use a USB flash drive to transfer iTunes?

    so I found this link: http://support.apple.come/kb/HT4527 and it talks about transferring iTunes from a PC to a Mac using an external hard drive. I am kind of computer illiterate so am I able to use a USB flash drive or do I actually have to buy an external hard drive? I have been trying to transfer my songs for a week now so I am getting kind of frustrated lol.
    Thanks!

  • Boot usb dont work to recover dead bios on lenovo t500

    cant recover my dead bios on t500.too bad im in zimbabwe there is no ibm lenovo companies for help.i jus get back to use my dinosaur desktop.

    I'll start by asking if you get the Thinkpad image on the screen when you power on the system?
    USB functions are provided by the BIOS, without a functional BIOS, there is no functional USB.   In the case of BIOS corruption where the machine becomes unusable there is little answer other then finding an Lenovo repair center.  However before I considered it dead I would try resetting the CMOS and see if that helps,  The HMM http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/43y6630_04.pdf will show you how to take the unit apart to gain access to the battery, it is located under the keyboard.  Make sure you have the AC, and battery removed when you do this.  Best of luck, hopefully you don't have a completely dead system.

  • I can't create a USB booteable Windows in Boot Camp Mavericks that actually boots

    Hi everyone... I have an issue that is apparently very common and yet I haven't found a working solution... I'm trying to install windows 7 using boot camp on my iMac 8,1 it is running Mavericks... I've got as far as creating the windows USB but after boot camp attempts to restart the computer I get that "no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" message. My DVD unit is not working so I decided to try with the USB option but I'm stuck... I've tried using different (very different) pen drives (brand and sizes) but I always get this. I have also tried holding the alt/option key when I turn the computer on but it does never shows the USB, I've tried with different .iso files 32 and 64 bits, original and "questionable"... I hope you guys have a working solution for this. Thanks in advance, have a nice day.

    Windows will not boot from USB if the Mac has an internal optical drive. This is something that Microsoft implemented.

  • I can't create a USB bootable Windows in Boot Camp Mavericks

    In Lion I was able to modify the file info.plist in the Package of bootcamp...
    </array>
              <key>PreUSBBootSupportedModels</key>
              <array>
    removing the ''Pre''

              <key>USBBootSupportedModels</key>
              <array>
    In Mavericks i try to remove it and bootcamp crash when i'm trying to start the program.
    I also can't read or burn any CD or DVD except if its a real DVD Movie.

    Thank you for this.  Unfortunantly Boot Camp Assistant still crashes.  In the list or now USBSupportedDevices it lists out the models like this:
    <key>USBBootSupportedModels</key>

    I have a MacbookPro8,2.  Can I add it to the list or is it included?  I have replaced my superdrive with a hard drive and only have an external CD drive now.  Thanks in advance!
