Netbook Mini 110-3830NR How do I create a restore image on a flash drive

I have a HP Mini 110-3830NR Netbook running Windows 7 Starter.
I want to create a restore image to original factory state.
The user manual recommends that I create a restore disk.
It further states that to create a restore image on a USB device, I need at least
a 16GB device.
Therefore I purchased a Hp v165 16GB flash drive that actually contains
14.8 GB of user space.
I could not find the correct info about creating the disk on the HP support
 web site so I chatted with an HP Support technician. She eventually gave me
a link to a procedure that would create a restore disk for me.
Then she said I needed a 32gb flash drive !!
Is the user manual or the technician correct ??
Can I use the 16GB (14.8 actual), or must I buy a 32 GB flash drive ??
Thank You   fljim

I would just try to create it, the recovery creator should tell you at some point if it is big enough or not, orignally 8gb was big enough for most W7 system's HP sold, but as time passed they had to upgrade the size recommendation to 32gb.
the 16gb should be large enough for your model.
This HP document says al least 8gb minimum, use 16gb for best results, very confusing, I agree

  • Creating a restore image on an external drive with package install options

    Hi,
    I'm looking to use a combination of tools maybe Deploy Studio, System Image Utility etc to create an image that isn't Netbooted but rather on an external drive (a fast Thunderbolt raid enclosure) - a restorable image which will contain OSX setup with all the essential applications my users require.
    That bit is fairly easy using some clone software but I want to do a couple more things. I need to create a Bootcamp partition on the computer and I want this all to be as hands off as possible. I've looked at Winclone in which I can create a Bootcamp clone and even put it in a deployable package file which in theory will create the partition and restore the clone when run.
    Ideally id be able to make a restore image that boots, restores and also gives me package options, allowing me to chose the Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 package file in the image to deploy and also whether to deploy another package file which will include 3 optional applications for the user depending on their choice. If I was allowed at restore to decide which packages if any should be run id be able to create one single restore image.
    Does anyone know if this possible?

    Found the answer. It was formatted for Windows.

  • How do i burn an ISO image to a flash drive?

    I tried to use disk utility and dragged my ISO file into the source box and then my flash drive into the destination box. When i clicked restored and entered in my password i got a dialog box saying "Restore failure, Could not validate source - Invalid arguement". If someone could help me that would be great. I was trying to burn Windows 7 so that way I could install it in bootcamp because I need Windows for school.

    Launch Disk Utility and select File: New: Disk Image From Folder. In the window that appears, navigate to the desired folder and then click on Image. Give the image file a name, and click on Save when prompted. That’s it.

  • How do I create a duplicate image inside the same page? Then how do I change the color of that image

    how do I create a duplicate image inside the same page? Then how do I change the color of that image from black to red?

    Hello there!
    Here is one way to create a duplicate image and colorize it. As you can see below, I have one image right now, that I want to duplicate.
    My layers panel looks like below.
    To duplicate your image, click the downward arrow on the right side of your Layer Panel.
    Select Duplicate Layer. This will duplicate the layer that the image is on.
    Select "OK" to approve the duplication.
    As you can now see in the Layers panel, the image is duplicated. The new layer is now at the top of the Layer panel.
    Now to colorize your image, go to Window > Adjustments.
    The Adjustments panel will now be opened. Select the Hue and Saturation icon as seen circled in red.
    The Hue and Saturation propertied panel will be opened. I selected "Colorize", and adjusted the hue and saturation bar to achieve the level red in my photo.
    As you can see below, the image is now red.
    Now i want to make sure only ONE of my image layers is red. I moved the Hue and Saturation layer to only be on top of the bottom layer. The image on the top layer now will not be affected by the red.
    Select the move tool, so I can now move the image layers so we can see both of them.
    With each image layer selected, you can take the move tool and move the images. I moved mine on top of eachother and you can see my red layer (bottom) and the non red layer (top).
    I hope that helps. i have also included helpful links.
    Please post back with any questions,
    Janelle

  • How do I create a disk image for windows 7, using a windows computer for USB bootcamp for mac?

    Hi There, I have just bought a new 2013 iMac.
    Spec: 3.4 GHz intel core i5, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory , NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB Graphics with OS X 10.9.4.
    How can I create a 'disk image' from a windows 7 professional 64bit installation DVD using a windows laptop with windows 7 Operating system on? I want to transfer this 'disk image' (ISO?) to a USB ready for installing windows onto my 2013 iMac using bootcamp?  I want to use bootcamp from a USB as I have no disk drive for the installation DVD on my iMac. I hope all this is clear.
    Thank you. Joe

    Yes, that's correct, at least not directly. You can create a blank disk image, copy the file to the mounted disk image, then burn the image to a CD/DVD.
    Open Disk Utility and select Blank Disk Image from the New menu. Provide a name, Save location, and select the image size from the drop down menu. Leave Encryptions at None and Format as read/write. Click on the Create button.
    After the image file appears the "removable" disk should be automatically mounted. If not double-click on it to mount it. A "removable" disk icon will appear. Drag the file you want to place on the disk image to the "removable" disk icon. The eject the "removable" disk icon. Now select the disk image file in the DU left side list and click on the Burn icon in the DU toolbar. Be sure to have a blank disc ready.
    The above is actually the "long" way to do this. A much easier way is to simply insert a blank CD or DVD into the optical drive. The Finder will pop up a dialog asking what to do. Select the option to mount on the Desktop. You will now see a disc icon on the Desktop. Drag the file you want to burn to the CD/DVD, right-click or CTRL-click on the disc icon and select Burn from the contextual menu.

  • How can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it?

    how can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it? It came without DVD installer, and I want to make a copy of it's OS installer but can't find out how.

    You need to have the disc in order to create disk image of snow leopard installer disc. What did your machine ship with? If something later than SL, then why? If earlier, then you can buy the SL installer disc and make the disk image.

  • How can I create clearer, sharper images and buttons in Muse?

    How can I create buttons and images that have a vector like clarity? When I upload images (buttons, jpegs and pngs) a lot of the time they seem to have a slightly fuzzy quality to them. I have read previous posts on this matter and none have helped. Any feedback on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    When you place your images in exactly the size you saved them in Photoshop or whatever, Muse doesn’t touch it.
    The quality in this case is the quality you saved the image.
    The best way is, to examine in Muse the available pixel size of the image and then use Photoshop to obtain this size
    A helpful widget to examine the potential size of an image in advance, is the "lore ipsum"-Muse-widget, that you find in the free widget collection "Andrew’s Prototypes":

  • How do I create a single image using PSE12 from multiple originals where each original is still separate?

    How do I create a single image using PSE12 from multiple originals in which the originals are still separate (i.e. side by side or arranged in a square)? I could do this in PSE2, but can't find how to get PSE12 to do it.

    In PSE2 there was a single photo-merge. I browsed all my images and I could then click and drag each to its new position before saving. There doesn’t seem to be a similar facility in PSE12.

  • How do you create a bootable image accessable via OPTION at boot time...

    Hello. Is there a way to create a 'bootable image' of a hard drive and save on my raid and access it via the OPTION menu (hold option key at boot)? I would like to create a OSX bootable drive and then save the whole thing in a file. That way I can set up different configs and just boot into whichever I wish to use. Say, one to rescue a crashed hard drive, etc.
    Information appreciated. Thank you,
    --Scott
    Powermac G5 'Quad'   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    CCC is used to make a bootable clone. It will also make an image file that can be installed using ASR or that can be used with NetBoot. It does not make a bootable image because you cannot boot from a disk image file. The image file can also be burned onto a CD or DVD, but you will not be able to boot from it because a CD/DVD is not a writeable device, and OS X must be able to write to a startup device.
    Another utility, BootCD (not yet usable with Tiger), worked around the problem by rewriting some of the startup code in OS X to force the making of a RAM disk, then moving some of the startup files to the RAM disk and designating the RAM disk as the startup device. Although BootCD will make a bootable and customizable CD using Panther, it does not work with Tiger.
    Any questions?

    If you have the Media you can use it to create a bootable USB key via boot camp assistant.
    It will create the usb and has the option of pre-downlading the drivers and bootcamp utilities for windows.
    It is pretty much all automated and quite simple.

    How do I restore iTunes library from flash drive backup?
    HI Brigdool,
    It depends how you made the backup.
    If you copied your entire iTunes folder onto the flash drive, just copy it back to the appropriate place on the computer.
    If you copied individual folders or files, add them back to iTunes by inserting the flash drive in your computer, and then dragging the files into your "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder.
    The first method recreates your library as it was, with all playcounts, playlists, etc.  The second method builds a new library with the same content.

  • HP Mini 110-3520ca constantly restarts when trying to restore from usb flash drive

    Hi,
    I have a HP Mini 110-3520ca that I upgraded to Windows 8, but was having issues with freeze ups and shut downs so I decided to go back to Windows 7 Starter.    When I tried to restore to factory default the files were corrupted and I couldn't restore from the recovery hard drive or my external back up files.  I ordered the recovery  USB flash drive from HP and tried to restore from it.  It completes the Recovery Preparation and the Software Installation finishes, Windows starts to load, but Ithen it goes back to welcome to Recovery Manager.  When I try to start Windows without the flash drive I get an error log that is below.  Can someone tell me how to fix this or what needs to be done to get my Windows working again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @Savvy58
    I did some further looking into that Error Log you posted. Basically, it means that is looking for a certain location that doesn't seem to be there. This could be a problem with the USB Recovery drive that you have. I would recommend that you contact HP. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.
