NB100-125 - Can i copy recovery Disk to USB?

Hi Everyone!
First, sorry for my bad English.
I have a Toshiba NB100-125 which came with installed Perfect Windows XP Home. Everything well, but I decided to install Windows 7 on it.
Ok, it ran on it, but I think it was a little bit heavier than the XP, so I decided to go back to XP...
And here's the interesting part:
I haven't even seen an external CD/DVD, so I wont be able to do it with the recovery disk.
I tried to copy the files from the recovery disk to an USB flash drive, but it didnt booted from it :(
Tried about 10 different methods, and nothing worked, didnt want to boot from the flash...
Please help me, I cant find an external CD/DVD and I want to reinstall XP on it using the original Recovery Disk which came with it

Hi
In my opinion this will not function.
Of course you can boot from USB flash drive but I think you cannot copy simple the files from a Windows XP disk to USB flash drive and then boot from it
But you can do this:
You can create a bootable USB flash drive using WinPE or BartPE.
Then you could boot the NB100 using the USB flash drive.
Then copy i386 folder from Win XP disk to HDD.
Finally go to i386 folder and start the Windows XP setup using the command winnt.exe
Cheers

Can't make recovery disk for pavillion

Can't crete recovery disk or flashdrive for HP pavillion 15 n0 28 US 243. Computer recognizes media but
recovery manager does not. Sits and spins wheels. New laptop Purchase yesterday. please help.
Windows 8

Thank you for replying. Hope you get your problem resolved! We just called hp helpline and are (hopefully) getting ours resolved with using a disk for back up....the strange thing we found was this statement regarding the flashdrive How to: my (laptop is windows 8)
copied from site:
Follow these steps to save a recovery image to a USB flash drive.
Before you startUse blank, high-quality USB flash drive no greater than 32GB and one that is (NOT) branded as Windows 8 compatible.
When I bought the computer yesterday, the salesman showed me the specific flashdrive to use......
and on the back of the package it says compatible with OS including windows 8.... maybe that was the problem.
I was Trying to use a windows 8 compatible flashdrive with a windows 8 OS ....I'm not techy so I'm clueless.

Can Envy K203TX recovery disks be used to recover an Envy K204TX?

Hi, The first thing i did when i got my Envy K203TX notebook, was create a set of recovery disks.Then I discovered that the notebook has several issues.HP sent me an on-site tech, and the tech said these issues were caused by several faulty hardware (display panel, motherboard, and the case has a bad battery lock). He helped me return the notebook as DOA. The problem is, HP store couldn't get me another K203TX, I paid like $150 more and upgraded to an Envy K204 TX. I now have the 204TX and this notebook has no issues at all, it's as good as it can get.My recovery disk set from the Envy K203TX is still with me. Question> Can I use these disks to recover my K204TX in case disaster strikes? Or shall I throw away these disks and create a fresh set of recovery disks for this computer?

The 203 has 15.6" diagonal FHD anti-glare WLED-backlit (1920 x 1080) http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04529223 The 204 has 15.6" diagonal FHD WLED-backlit touch screen (1920 x 1080) http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04529254 I would save the old disks but make a new set from the new laptop as it has touch screen.

Recovery Disk or USB

hi,
I need a recovery disk or usb for my HP Pavilion 15-n006AX laptop.
Kindly send me threads of where is it available, if any online sites or hp centers have it.

Dear Customer,
Welcome to HP Support Forum and we are glad to assist you.
It looks like you are not able to Boot into the Operating System on your Notebook.
We will surely assist you with this.
Originally the Notebook will have the Recovery Partition and that would give you an option to create a set of Recovery Disk. If you have not created those Recovery Disks when the Notebook was in working condition we cannot do that right now
As of now if you need to recover your Notebook with the new Operating System you can check if the Recovery Partition
is in a working condition or not, If yes you can easily recover/restore your Notebook
If Recovery Partition is corrupted
You need to call HP Technical Support and request for a set of Recovery Disks , So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
OR
You need call up Microsoft and purchase an Operating System with the License Key, So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
I strongly recommend you to Contact HP Technical Support over the Phone for further assistance without any delay
Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

Download a copy of Hiren's Boot at Hirensbootcd.org, there is some really good programs in there, use the disk recovery stuffs like government issue or something. I was just messin around with it on a disk I had formatted previously and it brought up all the files that were on it. It may or may not help with all the problems your having but you will love the software belive me. Good luck.

L305D-S5934 Has formatted hard drive, can I load recovery disk from a different machine?

Hi,
I have an older L305D (can't remember the sub group model, but it does not have the web cam). The LCD screen went out so I bought a L305D-S5934 with a formatted hard drive. I swapped my old hard drive into the new computer, but it will not boot up. It tried to recover, but that failed. Can I make a recovery disk with my old computer to use in the new one, even though they are different sub models? The new computer has a Windows license on it. If I can't make a recovery disk with the old one that will work, can I get a copy of Vista Home and use the license on the new computer to install it or does the license only work with the recovery disks? Once I have an operating system installed, I know I can get the right drivers from this website. Any help/ideas would be appreciated! I would rather not have to buy a recovery disk through Toshiba if I can avoid it.

That won't work.

The OEM key won't work with a retail version of Windows. (And with the recovery discs it's unnecessary, because that one is pre-activated.)
The recovery media from Toshiba costs less than the product key for the retail installation DVD. And you don't need to mess around adding drivers and utilities.

Satelite Pro L300 - Can I use recovery disk to get Vista back?

On my computer i am dual booting Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
Could i get rid of Vista then later could i use the recoevery disc to recover vista?
P.S i know it wipes the whole hdd

Hi
If you have created successfully the Recovery disk using the Toshiba Recovery disk creator then youve got the Recovery disk which contains the Toshiba image.
The image is a package which contains the OS (Vista), drivers and all the stuff which was preinstalled on the notebook.
This means that if you would use the recovery disk then you would get everything like at the first day of purchase
Simply said: Yes, you can get Vista back using the Recovery disk ;)

Can I create recovery disks using my laptop HD as external drive?

My Thinkpad T420 hard drive crashed in a really bad way. I can't load windows (7) and windows repair says it can't help me. I removed my hard drive and put it in a usb enclosure and connected it to a different pc. I can see the recovery folder/drive and my data drive as two different drives in "my computer". What I'm trying to figure out is if there's a way I can create the Win7 recovery discs this way, through what is now an external hard drive. The backup PC I'm using is XP, but I can get another Win7 PC if that makes a difference.
TIA!

@Phil18...
I'll offer a few more thoughts.
The recovery partition you're seeing is meant to be accessed by software in the OS partition to enable creation of a Recovery DVD set, or, through a boot-interruption sequence to enable a direct-to-disk recovery of the OS partition. Since you mention that the drive has "crashed in a really bad way", I'm presuming that it doesn't boot any longer.
In this case, my recommendation to you is to contact Service and discuss obtaining a Factory Recovery Disk Set. There may or may not be a charge for this. Contact information is below. Once you have the set, along with a new drive, you'll easily be able to build up the new drive to the factory out-of-box state.

Can't create recovery disks!

Just purchased the Satellite L505D-LS5007. Read all over the place where it was a good idea to make recovery disks for the computer. Once I got it out of the bow, up and running, I located the Recovery Media Creator, pulled out some blank DVD/R's (Sony) and put one in. After a few seconds, the following message pops up:
The following issue has occurred while recording date to the media.
The curent process was stopped.
A power calibration area error occurred.
Please check if the media is scratched or dirty.
If so, please try again with new media.
(Error Code: 0E01B5-26-2A037303)
Every new blank DVD/R I put in does the same thing!!! Any ideas would help!!

it only seems to be when making the recovery media. i would just try another brand of dvds or take it back and exchange it for another laptop. just tell them the recovery partitions seem to be messed up and they will either exchange it or try to make it for you.

ProDesk 600 create recovery disks - use usb instead

We have just received some HP Prodesk 600 desktop pcs - K1t26AW#ABA - running Win 7 Pro 64 bit - and would like to make system recovery media. The HP program installed has only the option to make recovery disks and requires dual layer DVD's to be used. I have had other HP products that allow recovery media to be created either on DVD or usb. Is there any software fix or utility to allow us to create the ProDesk 600 recovery media on USB instead of dual layer DVD's? We have no dual layer DVD's and have no other use for them so we don't want to order a pack and have most of it laying around unused. Thanks

You can clone the partition to an external usb disk with a cloning utility program. It won't have any effect on the one time usb or DVD recovery media creation limitation.
If I may give a word of advice:
Create a recovery usb flash drive. It is reliable, fast and durable.

Can't copy to or from usb

I have a mac pro with Mountain Lion.
I cannot copy to or from USB sticks. It might get as far as 8.4mb then freeze and often eventually stops the whole system from operating.
I cannot print via usb. A job will begin to print but a print connection error will soon occur.
I also have a 2tb Time Capsule. I can save a photoshop or illustrator file to it maybe once but any attempts to save freezes then slowly stops the entire computer from working and I have to force close by holding the power button.
It has been like this from new. I have a 27" imac and macbook pro that have none of these problems so I know it isn't the usb, printer or time capsule.
I also get the spinning colourful "wheel of wait" when I enter my password and press enter when first booting up, is this normal?
I have tried every solution I can find online.
The operating system is 10.8.2
I have tried smc reset, verify disk, verify disk permissions, repair disk permissions etc

Did you try:

need boot usb drive

Hi Richard,
I'm sorry you had to go through some pretty emotional trauma with your U410 getting stolen and all. However, I do hope you are back on track now.
I haven't been as unfortunate as you. However, I need to restore Win 7 on my U410. I have with me the recovery disks purchased from Lenovo. My question is, were you able to get the image onto a USB disk to perform the restoration? If so, could you point me to some instructions?
Seriously, Lenovo ships laptop specific recovery images on optical disks for their laptops that do not have optical drives. Makes no sense to me. It's time they sell recovery images on USB drives.

Can I use recovery disks on a new hard drive on a dv4?

I know the hard drive is toast in my dv4. Can I use the recovery discs I made when I got the computer to load a new hard drive?
This question was solved.

Yes you can. That is the purpose of having the recovery media.
Replace your hard disk with one that is of equal or larger capacity. That does not mean use a larger than 750 GB hard disk unless yours had one installed when delivered.
