Trying to create a recovery set

HI
I have a HP pavilion g series laptop with a big fat red exclamation mark on the HP support assistant.
Says I need to create a recovery set.  Went out a bought a brand new 32g sandisk flash drive.When I insert it  computer says the capacity of the inserted drive is insufficient.  Have tried it in all the ports and same message
Any help would be appreciated

When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and/or product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers that are all different. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
You may not be selecting the correct media location in the recovery manager or the USB stick may be to small. You can also burn DVD+R instead. Make sure they are high quality and major name brand.
Please send KUDOs

  • Creating a Recovery Set Utility Hangs. Expect better from HP please!!

    Hello.  I need help please in creating a recovery set for my hp envy dv7 laptop.  The issue I'm having with the software is that it doesn't seem to recognize the USB flash drive that I purchased especially for the recovery set.  It's a 32gb capacity so within the limits of the reccomendation and works fine with other programs.
    If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.  This laptop has been crashing recently and I would feel more at ease knowing I had some kind of help to fall back on.
    Thanks in advance guys!!

    I checked the instructions here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01867124&lc=en&cc=ca&dlc=en#N1014
    It warns of two things
    1) Use a storage device that is larger than the size of the source files, but not larger than 32GB.  ( which the one you are using meets this)
    2) Also, USB flash drives that are branded with the Windows 8 compatible logo do not work.  (maybe this is the problem?)
    One could also use DVD's

    Hi
    What kind of DVDs you are using for creating a Toshiba recovery disc? As yet I have tried Verbatim DVD-R and TDK DVD-R and never had a problem with these discs. Friend of tried DVD+R and he couldnt create a recovery disc. After that he tried DVD-R and all was fine but I dont know why this happened.
    So please try other discs.
    Furthermore check the Toshiba page for a firmware update of CD/DVD drive. Maybe it will help you.

    OK. That is good.
    It means that you can actually use the recovery manager, when required, by pressing the power button and then tapping the F11 key.
    You are very welcome.

  • Create a Recovery Set?

    Still have the message 'Create a Recovery Set' under Updates & Tuneups.  My PC seems to be working OK.  Is it necessary to create a recovery set as the techs where I bought the Notebook said "no need as it's built in"?
    Have a Pavilion Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Product No. F6C64PA#ABG.
    Not sure what to do, if IT IS necessary am I best to use DVD-RW or stick?  Will it take up much disc space if any?
    Sorry, am a newby with all this.

    It would be very wise to create a usb recovery flash drive.
    It is  the copy of the OS and drivers that you paid for and the best method to recover the operating system to a new hard disk if the original one fails. 
    The techs at the place where you bought it gave you poor advice.
    I highly recommend that you go with the usb recovery media. Sandisk flash drives don't work. Don't use flash drives with the Windows 8 logo on them. 
    Follow the instructions on the following HP web document to create a recovery image.

  • API error when trying to create a display set

    Hello,
    I'm creating a mapping, and I'm trying to define an attribute display set in the target table to show only some of the attributes of the table. I have called it 'SHORT_LIST' and I have also selected the attributes I want to display, but when I press OK, the followig error message is shown: "API0411: Name should not be an empty string", but I do fill the display set name!
    What is happening?
    Cheers,
    Natividad Moreno.

    Hi,
    Not sure what is happening here. What version are you running? This seems like a bug though so I suggest logging an iTar wiht support.

  • How do I import my folders of bookmarks created on a Dell laptop to an Apple iMac and clean up the mess I've created trying to create a new set of folders and bookmarks on the iMac?

    I have been unable to find and import from the version of Firefox on my Dell laptop to an Apple iMac the folders containing bookmarked website addresses. In the process, I've created a mishmash of unwanted bookmarks. Please provide me a step by step process to import the folders to the version of Firefox on the iMac. The process to accomplish this seems very awkward and counter-intuitive. The same goes for creating new folders and bookmarking website addresses to those folders on the version of Firefox installed on the iMac.

    Chris,
    Thanks for the tip about the Firefox Sync feature. A friend and I managed to use the Sync feature to "transfer" the folders of Bookmarked website addresses from the Dell to the iMac. We found that shutting off and rebooting the receiving iMac computer was necessary for all the folders to transfer over. Also, the entire process would have gone more smoothly had we had separate internet connections for the two computers, but we managed to shift our single internet connection between the computers as the Sync process progressed through its steps. Definitely a learning process.
    Thanks,
    Charlie

  • Pavilion dm1 Making A Recovery Set Using USB Flash Drive

    I have a Pavilion dm1 for which I have tried to create a Recovery Set using a USB flash drive.  However, on starting the Recovery Manager, I find I can only use discs......but the Pavilion dm1 has NO disc drive and no facility therefore to burn discs!!! Am I wrong to be completely puzzled by this?  Does anyone have any idea at all, other than to purchase an external disc drive which I really do not want to do??  HP will sell me a Recovery Set but again ONLY ON DISC!! Seems absurd that a piece of kit that has no disc drive will only be able to be recovered using a disc!  I confess to being a bit computer illiterate so maybe I am missing something.  Any help most gratefully accepted. 
    This question was solved.

  • Error message when trying to create Recovery Media Creation

    I have a HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC 15-n235sa and when trying to create my Recovery Media Creation on a 32GB Flash drive it comes up with the error mesage We are experiencing errors in recovering media creation. Please try again.
    This is after.46% of Verify Disk section. So it is almost there.
    I have tried 4 or 5 times with the same result.
    Help!

    Please try another USB Flash Drive or DVDs. USB Flash Drives indicating Windows 8 compatibility may not work for creating the recovery image. If you are still unable to create your HP Recovery Media, please contact official HP support in your region / country, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to see if HP Recovery Media is available for your computer. When you request this media, indicate that it is free because the HP Recovery Manager failed to work properly.

  • Possible to copy recovery set image to HD for storage?

    I’m about to create a recovery set for my new Spectre ultrabook on a flash drive.  I’d like to then copy the recovery image to a drive on another PC so I can free up the flash drive for other use.  Is this doable?  I.e., if I need to restore, will I be able to copy the image back to the flash drive and have it work?  Are any special tricks involved?

    Hi,
    Not that simple, copy won't work. By the way, the Flash drive for Recovery is write protected.
    Regards.

    Thanks for your support. Understood your point - I logged into the target instance and then tried to create a selection set using the Source instance and got the same error (and it can be reproduced at will on both source and target instances). The set will save successfully if I do not enter any criteria.

  • Twist - Create a recovery drive.

    I'm trying to create a recovery drive on the Twist I just received but, when I go to do so I receive the following error:
    "We can't create a recovery drive on this PC
    Some required files are missing. To troubleshoot problems when your PC can't start, use your Windows installation disc or media"
    The computer did not come with recovery media but has recovery partitions that aren't assigned drive letters. I called support and told them it wouldn't work and they didn't even try to troubleshoot. Instead they attempted to look up a part number for the recovery discs, which they could not find. Has anyone else run into this or a similar problem?
    I'm also not able to even create a repair disc, when I attempt to do so I receive the following error:
    Windows was unable to parse the requested XML data.

    Hey there dann,
    What version of Windows 8 are you using? It appears you may need to the Window 8 disc to be able to create the recovery drive because it needs files that are not on your system. I found those part numbers for the Windows 8 recovery media for you.
    04T7196 - Win 8 64 Bit US
    04T7223 - Win 8 Pro 64 Bit US
    Additional part numbers can be found here for all system parts and recovery media for you the Twist (s230u). If you contact service back they should be able to get the media sent to you. Good Luck.

  • Creating a score set - please help- I'm going crazy

    OK- deep breath ...........I'm trying to create a score set for 4 instruments. I read the manual, then tried everything on p 765........... I started first with the tracks in the Arrange area.- with and without rubber bands - and because this didn't work, I scrubbed this and tried to simply set up thew score in the Score Editor.
    It didn't work. I want to be able to see the music for 4 instruments - at one go -in the score editor. Is this possible ?
    Please someone save my sanity and give me an blow- by- blow account how to achieve this. I've been on this for hours and can't see the wood for the trees now so am going out for a breath of fresh air.
    Kay.

    You can look at the bottom of the arrange page.. But for 4 tracks I would open a score editor window by itself.. The score section is complex and not intuitive to say the least..
    In the score editor, click on the 6th from the left box. it looks like a page of text (when you highlite it will turn blue).. That shows you the whole score, in a tradional page format.. If you still see only one track, double click somewhere other than the track, (space in between). Page will toggle between showing one track/ and all tracks..
    To make life easier if you have many tracks to display = create a 'score set'. Label it, (band etc). reduce the size, 50 - 65% whatever. Then go under File in Logic, page set up.. Select the 90 turn, so now the pages longer side to side. You can see more measures at a time..
    You may want to have several score sets, to help with editing. One of everything. another to show just the piano and guitar, etc. This will make it easier to edit, copy paste between staves etc.
    The score editor is very powerful, if you take the time to figure it out, but documentation is vague

  • Can not create 3rd disc of recovery set.

    Hello,
    I am using HP Pavilion G6-2103TU Laptop. I am getting an error when trying to create 3rd DVD-R.when it verify 97% that say this message"Disc verify failed . Please use another disc and try again.”
    Then i tray to create in safe mode it say ' please install battery'  My power adapter is connected.
    Then i follow the  suggestion of hp expert Mr. Drvidpk        
    Start the notebook and let Windows fully load.  Hold down the Windows key and press R.  In to the Run box type msconfig and hit enter.  In the following System Configuration window, click the Start up tab, remove the tick next to each start up item and then click Apply to make the change. 
    But this changes same problem occur  'please install battery'  pls help.........
    Jyoti prakash

    I don't know that the recovery disks can be created in safe mode.  There will be certain software components that are disabled in safe mode that may impact how the program functions.
    Have you tried to create disk 3 in normal mode again?  It could have been a one off event that caused the first write of disk 3 to fail.  Alternatively, you can contact HP to see what options are available of getting a set sent to you.
