Creating system recovery USB windows 7 HELP ( T510i )

Hello everyone,
Today I bought a SSD drive for my Lenovo thinkpad T510i. I wanted to make a bootable USB flash drive, to boot my lenovo after switching the HDD for the SSD. So i took my USB ( 16 GB ) and made a system recovery disk with thinkvantage tools. Switched the HDD for the SSD and started the Lenovo with the USB in place. After a few attempts ( failing ) I'd switched the HDD back and went searching what went wrong. I found that I had to create a bootable USB first. So i did. After that i had to re install the system recovery on the USB.
My problem is.... microsoft windows doesn't let me make a new recovery of my system ?!! So when I want to start the recovery program I get the error ( in dutch ) that windows only lets me make one recovery device......
I want to ask you what I can do about this... do I have any options left ?
Thanks in advance
Luc

How to create a system recovery USB drive?

My U845-S406 crashes every 15 minutes with a BSOD referencing iastor.sys.
Multiple diagnostics say it is all good.
Multiple virus softwares say it is clean.
It crashes even quicker in safe mode.
I have the latest Toshiba raid drivers, but updated to a more recent Intel set. The error changes to iastora.sys, and goes back to iastor.sys when I switch back to the Toshiba drivers.
I booted holding down 0, and told it to restore; but it promptly crashes.
I made a W7 disk and tried to load it, but it promptly crashes.
As a last resort before throwing the computer out, I want to create a system recovery USB drive, format the harddrive and try recovering from the USB; but I don't have the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator (or any Toshiba software at all...) I downloaded a copy and ran it, but it says I don't have a HDD Recovery Area.
I know I have one because 1) I can access it by hold down 0, and 2)Partition Wizard showes it.
So, how can I create a system recover USB drive (or make Recovery Media Creator find the HDD recovery Area...)
Interestingly, the other day it spent 90 minutes installing a W7 update without a problem, but crashed immediately when done. Maybe that means something.

Please zip up a few of the corresponding *.dmp files from the C:\Windows\Minidump folder and attach them to your reply.
So the procedure in the section Creating recovery media (p. 53 in the User's Guide) doesn't work? Exactly where does it go wrong?

Trouble Creating System Image in Windows 8.1

My system: Satellite P55-A5312 with 750GB HDD, Windows 8.1 (upgraded from pre-installed 8.0), BIOS fw 1.90 (just updated)
Tried to create System Image: Start ==> Search ==> File History ==> System Image Backup ( in lower left corner of the screen). Successfully finds the 1TB backup drive (newly formatted at NTFS) attached via USB. Message says 204GB of space will be needed to store the image. (Note: 1TB is almost 5 times what is needed).
Start Backup ==> "The Backup Failed", "There is not enough disk space to create the volume shadow copy on the storage location, etc.).
I found the following thread in this forum: http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/System-Recovery-and-Recovery/System-Image-Fails-on-Windows-8-1-Pro/m-p/...
and am curious what the following recommendation means: "To work around this problem, increase the size of the OEM partition on the backup drive."
What OEM partition? My backup drive has a single NTFS partition consuming the entire capacity of the HDD. What am I doing wrong?

Go to Solution.

After increasing the size of 1 partition, the System Image utility completed without error. To fully confirm, I need to try an image restore.
The long answer is noteworthy (refer to the attached). I used 3 different methods to query partition size and usage.
1. Disk Management shows that 4 of the 5 partiions are 100% free space. What I don't understand is how the System Image utility of Windows 8.1 understands the partition sizes/usage but Disk Management does not.
2. Macrium Reflect gives what appears to be an accurate representation of the partitions and their size/usage. It also includes a (hidden?) partition not shown in Disk Management, thus 6 instead of 5 partitions.
3. MiniTool Partition Wizard agrees for the most part with Macrium Reflect with two notable exceptions. It shows the 128MB partition has zero free space (vs 113.7MB = 89% free space using Macrium Reflect). This is a BIG difference. Also, the C partition showed slightly different usage than Macrium Reflect.
In the end, I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to modify 1 partition only (increase the 350MB partition to 414MB, resulting in a little more than the mandatory 50MB free space). The System Image operation then completed without error.
What baffles me is why 3 different utilities give different results of partition usage (I think they all agree on partition size). I would have never thought that determining partition usage was akin to rocket science, but perhaps it is...

Getting error code 0x400110020000100b while doing system recovery for windows vista 32 bit.

I attempted to do a system recovery on my Laptop using the included recovery discs and got this error 0x400110020000100B. THe disc looked pretty beat so last week I ordered a new set. Now when I got to put disc 2 in (at 80% complete) I get the same error. I called customer support and he took me through the F9 process to no avail and I've also tried the F11 approach which got me no where. I'm frustrated because I really don;t have the money for a new laptop.
Laptop is a HP Pavilion DV6700.
Any help would be appreciated more than you know.

Can't create system image in windows 7

I am in Backup and Recovery and I am trying to create recovery disks for my new Pavilion 500t-205t. I see create ISO image. When I click on that it starts a swirling circle and nothing happens. I want to put my recovery disks on DVD and does not come back and give me that option. What is going on?
Also, when I try and register my product it tells me to try later. Is Product Registrations down?

Your computer might have one or two options for creating recovery media. Use the option that works best for you. See this:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01867124
May I suggest you use Macrium Reflect Free to create an exact hard disk image to an external hard drive. It creates an exact copy of your OS, programs and date to restore your computer in the event of a disaster. I personally make one once a week and has saved me me a lot of headaches when I had problems. Don't forget to create the rescue disk from within the program.

Do not download the trial version and select custom install to avoid having crapware.

Error code 0xc0000001 after system recovery attempt--PLEASE HELP--

HI,
I have a Toshiba Satellite C855-S5194 Part number: PSCBLU-066003.
To give you the whole story it begins with my screen going blank while watching Netflix while attatched to a HD tv thru the HDMI. Then the screen went blu and and error code came up. Error code 0xc0000001 and it stated you needed to use recovery tools on your instrallation media.
First I tried using the recovery steps by accessing it in preboot. That did not work.
So I then ordered a 16GB USB recovery flsh drive. I followed the instructions and I was in the recovery mode off the USB. During the process the screen stated the laptop will restart a bunch of times during the process, which it did. Then after it restarted the last time, the screen went blue with an error code 0xc0000001 again. What can I do? Does this mean my hard drive is corrupt? Any insight would be appreciated.
Also, one last thing. If I try to straight up boot from the USB flash drive it seems to boot but then after the Toshiba welcom logo the screen goes blank and stays that way.

How long were you able to watch this movie before it crashed?
Now is it everytime you boot up, you get the BSOD 0xc0000001 ?
Can you start up in SAFE MODE?

System recovery for windows vista

Goes through the recovery discs ok. But when it gets to "completing installation" "install windows" part then I get a message that states "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer's hardware. U had Vista SP1 and 2 installed prior to the recovery attempt. Anny ideas?
This question was solved.

Unfortunately, you would need to contact Microsoft to obtain a legitimate version of the operating system. Technically, you could download it online, since you can download almost anything online, but I don't support or condone that. Especially since the operating system could be corrupted or filled with virus.
Anyway, the Microsoft phone number is 1 (855) 987 7592. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

How to restore Windows 8 from a recovery USB on a tablet w/o physical keyboard?

I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad tablet that came with Windows 8 Pro:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?DocID=PD026486
The first thing that I usually do is create a recovery disc. This time I was able to create a recovery USB drive. But then I thought of something -- how would I recover from it?
I asked at the Lenovo community site and people told me to connect a USB keyboard and press Fn + F12 during booting. The issue is that, first, I do not have a physical keyboard for it. Do I really need to pay $50+ just to boot from a USB drive? And
secondly, even if I got a physical keyboard this tablet has only one mini USB port so if I use it up to connect a USB keyboard, how would I connect the USB flash drive?
So can someone clarify this for me? Again, all I need to know is how to restore from a recovery USB drive.

Hello Again Zubedi35!
Ok, I think I have it covered. First, you need a key to be able to proceed with the installation process. When you get a key, go online and download the windows 8 usb installer to be able to install a properly formatted
installation of windows 8 to your usb drive; make sure you use a windows 7 or windows 8 computer to format and install windows 8 to your usb- very important! Once you have windows 8 installed to your usb drive, all you need is the key and the installation
process on your pc will be a cinch. But before you get ready to do the installation of windows 8 to your desired computer, first you must do one thing- reformat your hard drive again. Since you said you have another computer (preferably a desktop), you may
place the hard drive from your laptop that you are trying to install windows 8 on and place that hard drive into the other computer- but you will need an external device to place the hard drive in to be able to reformat it if you don't have a desktop computer
with an extra bay (slot to put an extra hard drive into) to place the hard drive in and perform the reformatting. I would try to find someone with a desktop that has an extra bay to place that hard drive in and reformat it (it must be a computer with a windows
7 or 8 operating system on it so that you may be able to see the drive and perform the reformatting process. If you choose to do this, you must turn the desktop computer off and open the side of the computer then connect the hard drive to the sata connectors
of the open bay. Then, turn the computer back on and go to 'My Computer' (on windows 7 computer) or click the little folder (File Explorer) on the taskbar and look in 'Devices and Drives' and the hard drive should show up next to the main drive (Local
Disk C:). Formatting your hard drive is just like formatting your usb- just uses a different method of connecting. Try and purchase an external USB Disk Drive to install windows 8 to your pc from a CD if you choose not to go through this process of installation
by usb. I hope this helps and please notify me if you have any other questions or if you need help through the installation process- enjoy your Windows 8 computer!

How do i transfer system recovery dvd to a usb

Recently my ultrabook broken down and now the start up is in a never ending loop. I brought a system recovery media from hp, I cleary stated my ultrabook doesn't have dvd slot and he said that's fine once you get the dvd call us up and we will help you.
I received my dvd today and when I called up there suggestion was and I quote "copy and paste all the data from the dvd to a usb, don't you know how to transfer files".
I was like that won't work can you put me trough to someone that has better understanding and he goes it will cost you 30 somthing pounds.
Can someone that understands my problem help me out?
How can I transfer a system recovery dvd to create a bootable system recovery usb. I have another pc.

Do you have only 1 dvd or several? I have seen others attempt this with a multiple dvd set and fail miserably. With 1 dvd you might have a chance. Create an ISO from the dvd with something like ImgBurn or other cd/dvd burning tool that can create an ISO file from a disc.
Once you have the ISO file use Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool to create a usb Recovery. It was created for Windows7 but works on other ISO files.

Elitebook Folio 9470m - how to create recovery USB in preinstalled Win7?

Hi, this will be my first post here, so please be gentle
I have a new, pretty HP Elitebook Folio 9470m for testing - it came with preinstalled Windows 7 OS. I wanted to check some things, play around with it and as a cautious user I wanted to create a recovery media first. I have a 65GB flash drive which I've previously used as a recovery media for other notebooks and (as this model doesn't have a CD/DVD drive) I wanted to use it this time as well.
First I searched the web to find out how to create a recovery USB for this laptop but HP website gave me the info to use Recovery Manager which I don't have installed on this notebook - when I search for "recovery" I get something like "Create HP recovery CD". And when I try to use this I get an error regarding no writable media (even thou the flash drive is connected).
I stumbled upon a tip to F11 the laptop before boot, but I don't get the Recovery Manager either.
Should I download it and install from somewhere or is there another way to create the recovery stick for this notebook?
This question was solved.

Hi Neith,
You can use the HP Recovery Flash Disk utility for Windows 7. There is more information about the utility on this HP web document.
