Equium A200 - Can't make password reset disk on CD

W/Vista, Pioneer DVD-RW
Can't make password reset disk on CD, all I get is - This feature requires removable media, such as floppy drive or USB flash drive.
Are CD's or DVD's not classed as removable media now?
In help and support it states - you'll need _removable media_ such as a USB flash drive or _CD_..
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Are CD's or DVD's not classed as removable media now?
In my opinion it is the question for Microsoft because you try to use Vista feature and, as far as I know, notebook manufacturers have nothing to do with it.
To be honest for me it is pretty logic. If you want to use such disc it should be small and compact. The best disc for these purposes is USB memory stick. You can put it in every pocket and have with you.
In my opinion CD media is not so adequate for this. What you think about it?

  • How can i make factory reset to may macbook pro

    hey, how can i make factory reset to my macbook pro

    Throw away any files which may contain sensitive data and securely empty the Trash.
    If it shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert its original disk and restart the computer with the C key held down.
    If it shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down.
    Use the Disk Utility to erase the partition with Mac OS X installed, and then install a new OS onto it. If you used a disk and are going to sell or give away the computer, include the disk with it.

  • Windows 7 Password Reset Disk

    Can I use the same USB flash drive to create password reset disks for multiple computers?

    Hi Ryan,
    When we create password reset disk for an account by using USB flash driver, a file named userkey.psw will be written to the root directory of the USB flash driver by design. When we are going to reset a password for an account from the USB flash driver,
    the system will pick up the “userkey.psw” from the root directory automatically. So by default one USB flash driver can be used to create one password reset disk.
    But, here is a workaround. Once the “userkey.psw” is saved to the USB flash driver, please move it to folder then the root directory. We can name the folder with the account name to different each other. Then we can save multiple userkey.psw files to the
    same USB flash driver.
    In case we are going to reset password for a special account, please copy the relevant userkey.psw to the root directory. Then please go ahead to the reset the password.
    For your information, please review the following article “Create a password reset disk”:

  • I am trying to install Lion on my imac and it says it can't make a recovery disk

    I am trying to install lion and receive a message saying it can't make a recovery disk.  I am using a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac.  I do have bootcamp on it, but was never able to install Windows.

    What happens when Lion installs is it creates a Lion Recovery Partition at the very bottom area of the drive, this is used to Command R boot into and perform Disk Utility Repairs and reinstall Lion from Apple's servers much like a 10.6 disk will.
    So when you ran the Lion installer, it couldn't create this small partiiton, either because the GUID partition table (the map of your paartitions on the drive) is borked or there is data all the way to the bottom of the drive or OS X thinks there is.
    You set up the bootcamp parittion, so run that and delete the Bootcamp partition as your not using it or Windows, once it's finished reboot and try installing Lion again.
    I should warn you, Lion will not run your Rosetta based software or hardware drivers for external hardware, you may have to purchase all new versions. Not only that, hardware drivers may not be available for 10.7 thus rendering your third party printers, scanners etc useless.
    Before you install Lion, you should consult this web page
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    to see if your current programs will break and when to expect a new version (likely paid)
    Also you shoudl check your hardware and the makers site if there is a 10.7 compatible driver/software for them.
    And once you think your ready to go to Lion, get a blank external powered drive and a free/donationware copy of Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your present (non-Filevault) 10.6 boot drive to the external drive.
    Later if 10.7 doesn't work for you, simply hold the option key and boot off the 10.6 clone, use Disk Utility to Erase the entire drive (the whole drive!) and reverse clone 10.6 back onto the internal drive.

  • How can I make a bootable disk for Mountain Lion?

    How can I make a bootable disk for Mountain Lion?

    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • Can you make a recovery disk with a mac?

    I have two mac computers. One works that I currently use for personal use. But I recentlly bought a "fixer up iBook G4" that needs an install disk of 10.5 Leopard. I cannot find my disks that came with my Powerbook g4 but can I make a restore disk or recovery disk so I can restore the operating system that's on the iBook g4?
    Thanks in advance!

    Connect the two computers using a FireWire cable. Use Target Disk Mode to clone the one drive to the other. Boot the iBook into TDM, then boot the PB normally. The iBook's drive should appear on the PB's Desktop. Use Disk Utility to erase the iBook's hard drive, then use Restore to clone the PB's drive to the iBook:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
          entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • How can i make an restore disk on Satellite L850-10J

    Hi
    >How can i make an restore disk
    This should be mentioned in user manual which is always preinstalled.
    In my case I used the preinstalled +Toshiba Recovery Medium Creator+ software.
    This Toshiba software allows you to create either an recovery disk or an recovery flash memory stick.

    How can I make a recovery disk for an imac 24 "  early 2008 to April 2009 or connect via thunderbolt to another imacimac 24 "   or connect via thunderbolt to another imac
    ann

    You will only know about the hard drive when you try to access it in TDM from your other computer. If you cannot boot into TDM mode or if the drive does not appear on the new computer's Desktop then it is likely bad.
    What you are thinking about as a recovery disk is the Recovery HD normally created when you install Lion or later on the computer. You boot from it as follows:
    Boot Using Command+R keys:
      1. Restart the computer.
      2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
          "COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
      3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.

  • HT5787 I can't receive password reset email!

    I can’t receive password reset email. Probably because this email address has been used before as second email to another Apple ID. I removed it from the other Apple ID a week ago but still can’t receive reset email.

    Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'More Products and Services', then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

  • How can i make my local disk mounted peramently

    i want to share my local disk to the network but i have a bad problem....
    the problem is when i reboot my local station i must to mount more time the disk manually,,, can anyone have an idea about how can i share my patition without
    mount it for each reboot, in another word how can i make my disk mounted automatically on reboot
    thanks

    Depending on how it is being shared and how you mount it, you may just need to edit your vfstab file to have the nfs mount made 'permanent'. That, of course, assumes this is being done via nfs!

  • Can I make bootable ext disk image on USB 2.0 drive?

    I would like to upgrade finally to OS X Lion.  Before I do that I would like to make an image backup using something like Super Duper to an external USB 2.0 disk drive.  I would like this to be a bootable image.  Can I do this?

    Yes, although I recommend the more intelligent Carbon Copy Cloner over Superduper just for the fact that it was first, more powerful and donationware, SD might be eaiser and offer more handholding,  it's part payware.

    I really do not recommend pre-2011 Intel Mac's (unless they are powerful, 4GB of RAM) to upgrade to Lion, however with a bootable clone of 10.6 (which is what your asking for) would get your machine back on 10.6 eaiser than a total rebuild and reinstall of 10.6.
    Also a LOT of third party programs and older printer/scanner drivers/software/hardware may not work with Lion neither.
    I do recommend to backup data off the machine, a fresh install of 10.6 then upgrade to 10.7, then install Lion programs and then return files method over the upgrade over 10.6 method.
    To boot from the Carbon Copy Clone, hold th option key and select the external drive to boot from.
    Good Luck

  • Equium A200 can not connect to the interest using Wifi

    Hi,
    Since having to reinstall Windows Vista Ultimate, I can not connect to the interest using Wifi. It works fine for Ethernet, but when choosing the "Connect to the Internet" screen, its blank and will not find any wifi connects or let me manually connect to one.
    In Device Manager under Network Adaptors, it now only shows the Ethernet Controller and not the Wifi adaptor. I have tried to download the driver from this site and after rebooting nothing has changed. I have made sure the machine has all the latest Windows updates as well. I have also mader sure that the wifi button is switched on at the front of the machine.
    Also one a side note I cant seem to find the exact name of the Laptop in the system section of Control Panel other than Equum A200. On the download driver page there is NOT a A200 listed only A300 and A300D.

  • Can you customize Password Reset Results?

    We're migrating our password management stuff into Identity Manager, and one of the nicer features we've got with our current (home-rolled) setup is that after a Help Desk worker resets someone's password, it gives them a nice page that can be printed out and handed to the person to take with them.
    The default password reset page in Identity Manager does print out the password, but I don't see what form I would use to customize that results page. (admin/resetUserPasswordResults.jsp). Does anyone know where to look?
    Thanks!
    Jonathan

    I am having problems in displaying the new password. I want to use a custom password policy to generate the new password. I call a custom reset password workflow, and pass that policy to it. It generates two diff password. one for IdM and one for LDAP. I want it to generate one password for both
