How do I dowmload my recovery disk drive to a 32GB flash drive

How do I copy or download my recovery disk (D drive) onto a 32GB flash drive?

Your HP 500-164 has WIN8.0. If you upgrade to the free WIN8.1, it has a built-in create USB recovery drive.
NOTE:
If your PC came with Windows 8 and you upgraded it to Windows 8.1, your recovery drive will include Windows 8, and you’ll need to upgrade to Windows 8.1 after you refresh or reset your PC.

How can i restore from Recovery Disk if my notebook's hard drive and dvd drives are dead.

Hi. Good day. My hard drive just crashed and im trying to restore from my restore disks. Unfortunately, my dvd is dead too. I copied the recovery disks to a new hard drive and tried booting from a flash drive but the noteebook is still giving me the SMART hd error message. Please help. Thanks.

Hi,
If you have, or can borrow an external CD/DVD drive it would be worth trying this although I'm not certain your notebook will support booting from a drive connected via USB.
Another option may be to see if you can find a second hand optical drive on somewhere like Ebay - the drives compatible with your notebook can be found on Page 59 of your Maintenance & Service Guide. It may even be worth removing a re-seating your existing drive just in case this helps as described in this section.
Does the drive show up in Device Manager? If it does, right click it and select Properties. Select the driver tab and see if there is an error code in the status box.
Regards,

how do i get a recovery disk or download for os 10.5.8? my system was installed by an apple store when replacing my hard drive. i did not get a backup disk. macbook is a 1.1 from mid 2006 and 10.5.8 is as far as i can go.. use this as a utility backup when my new macbook pro with mt lion screws something up---which seems like a daily event. do i have to install a lesser version of leopard then install the update. does software update even work anymore for leopard? im so in the dark and when i look at the console i just freak.

Hello, your best bet would be to clone your drive to an external drive, which will be bootable.

You're not likely to see any updates show up for 10.5.x
The very first MacBook 1,1s can actually run 10.6, which is updatable to 10.6.8, but will only run in 32 bit mode on yours.

General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)

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.

How can I get a recovery disk for Satellite P300-1CI?

Hi everybody,
first, sorry for my english, I'm a belgian and I speak french.
Yesterday I bought a toshiba Satellite P300-1CI, when I started, I must installed Vista home.
I would like to format my disk and reinstall my old Windows XP.
My question is : How can keep an image disk with Vista? I don't have an installation disk of Vista and don't know my registration key of it.
How can I have a recovery disk ?
Can you help me please.
PS : Sorry for my english

Hi mate
User manual is really interesting document and in most cases it answer all you questions ;)
Anyway, the Toshiba recovery disk should be created before you would format and install on the HDD.
You have to use the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator application in order to create the Recovery DVD.
Now to you other question;
The Vista image which is preinstalled and placed on the Recovery disk (after recovery disk has been created) is activated already and you dont need to insert any keys or activate anything.

Hello:
If my memory serves me correctly, the licence agreement that comes with a new system indicates that is good for one system....
Also, I do not think that something that would boot one type of processor would work on a different type.

How can I save my iMovie Project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC and any DVD player

I have an iMac, purchased in January 2011. How can I save an iMovie project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC or any DVD player

I will give you a basic primer, not going to get to in depth, as far as parameters, size of project, or the storage size of your usb flash drive, etc.
1. you have your finished iMovie project. Under iMovie>Share menu. Choose export using quicktime.
2. make Movie self contained. This way your Mov, Mvi, etc files will be part of the movie and it can play without having to reference the events, because it is actually there.
3. so, now on your desktop ( or any where else set up quicktime to save your file) you will see a quicktime file.
Drag & Drop that file on to the icon of your USB Flash Drive, etc.
4. Details that I omitted because I admit I am not well versed. Most Likely that quicktime file is larger than your USB Flash Drive. You have to use one of quicktime compression work flows, also if you open the just created quicktime file. It will open quicktime player and under the File>Export you have to options. I have a Movie that was 42GB 1080P, I exported it as a 720P, so it would still be playable on a large screen and now the new file was less than 2.5GB.
5. Oh, no i just realized that the file should be playable on a PC, as long as the PC has quicktime for windows installled and you left that USB formated at MS DOS as it came originally, or a PC will not recognize it. Will it open up on your Blu-Ray Player that has a USB port, not sure. Since there is no menu. but, perhaps just pushing play will start movie.
Hope this is of some help.

Hp recovery manager won't recognize my flash drive!

My computer is the HP Pavilion p6-2317c Desktop PC, running windows 8.
I'm trying to create recovery media, and have a 32Gb Sandisk Cruzer Facet that I was intending to use for it. Unfortunately, Recovery manager doesn't recognize the flash drive...it never shows up in the menu at all. The drive shows up when I click the computer icon in the files section, with no issues at all, as you can see.
I haven't created a recovery media set, and it doesn't show the not enough space error, it just doesn't let it show up at all!
What can I do to fix this? I'd really like to make a recovery set, to ward off a visit from the demon in charge of foulups visiting.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

HP is looking into the issues reported on flash drives not working for Recovery creation in Windows 8. I have been told they are working on a patch/upgrade for Recovery Manager.
In the meantime, it has been suggested to either switch to DVD or pick up a flash drive that is NOT logo'd with the Windows 8 compatible icon on package.
If neither of these is acceptable hold out for the coming patch.

You can not download from a flash drive. You can do over the air, or you can connect your iPhone to your computer and download iOS 8.1 via iTunes.

32GB Flash Drive - Uses too much power???

Hey guys, FINALLY found a camera connection kit the other day at an Apple store. I bought a 32gb flash drive (Patriot 32GB Razzo PSF32GRUSB) thinking I could use that to transfer pictures to the ipad via the camera connection kit's USB adapter.
Most of the articles I read on the internet led me to believe that usb flash drives work with the kit. However, when I plug in the drive, the light on the drive momentarily lights up then I get an error msg on the ipad that the accessory consumes too much power. I then tried plugging in a passive usb hub and I got the same exact error msg (nothing was plugged into the hub at the time).
I plugged in a generic 1gb usb flash drive and sadly that worked. Anyone have issues with large flash drives? Thanks!

I have an old and physically large 4 GB flash drive that gives the same error message, Therefore, that jives with your suggestion that it is power issue and is dependent upon the physical size (how many chips) as well as capacity.
