  • 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 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.

  • T440s - Unable to create recovery disk

    I just got my Thinkpad T440s, my first Thinkpad and I really love the machine! I've been having this issue though which has been spoiling my enjoyment of the device: I can't make the recovery disks. I tried following the instructions here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=HT076024 but I always get this error: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=5DCF305C859982FB!709&authkey=!ANxAZ-i4hSnedBA&v=3&ithint=photo... . On the previous page I can't check the box for copying the recovery partition. In the Disk Management snap-in (diskmgmt.msc) I can see that the recovery partition is there, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
    I would really like to get the recovery media created, as I can't risk starting to use this machine without recovery media since there is no DVD drive. I would appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks!

    Hi ibrahima,
    What kind of media do you try to do your recovery on?
     usb flash drive might be 16GB minimum.
    Otherwise you should try to restore your laptop to factory defaults and try again.

  • Unable to make recovery disk on in pavellion g62016 .dat file is missing in recovery drive

    unable to make recovery disk on in pavellion g62016 .dat file is missing in recovery drive
    can i use the .dat file of another same notebook
    what is significance of ,dat file

    Hello shail11. I understand that you're having some problems creating a recovery disc. Is this correct?
    You can not use another .dat file.  The recovery media is specific to a certain notebook, so using another computer's files will not work.   If you're running into issues making a recovery media you could attempt to perform the recovery from the BIOS. Here is a document which outlines the process.  ALL data not backed up before performing the recovery will be lost.
    Let me know if this helps; have a great weekend!

  • Cannot create recovery disk after update to Win 8.1 on G580

    Friends
    I have a Lenovo G580 that came with Win 8.0 preinstalled. I upgraded it to Win 8.1 over the Internet.
    When I try to run the "Create recovery disk" I get the error that states that "We cannot create a recovery drive for this PC. Some required files are missing..."
    I found out that the winre.wim file that is supposed to be in the C:\Windows\System32\Recovery folder is not there. I cannot locate it anywhere on the C or D drives either. I believe there is a copy on one or more of the recovery partitions but I do not know how to get that file from those partitons.
    I am confused as to why there are seven partitions on that one drive:
    1 Recovery partition 1000 MB
    2 EFI system partition 260 MB
    3 OEM partition 1000 MB
    4. Recovery partition 350 MB
    5. Recovery partition 20 GB
    6. Lenovo D: 25 GB
    7. Windows 8 C: 250 GB
    Can someone help me and give me some instructions on how I can fix the system to find the winre.wim file?
    Thanks for any good input.
    Calle

    Hi Calle,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that the error message is displayed in your G580 Laptop, as the OS (Operating System) installed is Windows 8.1 or Windows 8. Recovery discs cannot be created only a “Recovery Media” can be created using USB Flash drive, below is the link to create USB recovery drive.
    Create a USB Recovery Drive
    Do post us back if the issue persists.

  • How to create recovery disk on HP envy dv6 7258nr notebook pc - window 8

    I m trying to create recovery disk from recovery drive which is created by hp while purchasing the laptop, while taking back up from recovery manager, Recovery Manager says   (Recovery Partition has been removed - Recovery Media creation option is no longer available) , but as per my knowledge i did not took back up of recovery drive. So what should i do to take back up of my recovery drive to **bleep**.

    Based on what you have stated, it appears that you or someone else with access to your notebook deleted the recovery partition. Without the recovery partition on the hard disk you can't make recovery media.
    Your best option at this point would be to purchase a recovery disk set from HP or an HP Partner.

  • Creating recovery disc using DVD vs using USB

    I wanted to upgrade to SSD
    a crucial m500 to be exact.
    I'm using windows 8
    Lenovo T430
    But an attempt to create recovery media, I was told I needed a usb of at least 16gb before continuing.
    I personally do not have a spare 16gb thumbdrive lying around
    address : create a recovery drive, The screen which says "the drive must be able to hold 16gb, and everything on the drive will be deleted.
    and I find it such a waste to use a hard disk to use it as a recovery media considering the fact that all data on it has to be erased and I cant really use it for other purpose
    so I  google in attempt to try and create recovery drive using dvd disc
    recdisc.exe
    my question is that would I be able to restore the same original settings and applications as when I bought it when using the recdisc.exe method??
    will all the default Lenovo applications be still present??

    If it's like most of the recent ones I have seen it would normally require 3 regular DVD disks.  Recovery 1, Recovery 2, and Drivers and Applications Disk 2.  If you use Dual Layer it will put Recovery 1 and Recovery 2 on one DL disk and the Drivers and Applications on Disk 2, but it should give you the option of recording it to a standard DVD.  You can determine how many regular disks it would take by selecting the Regular Disk option prior to creating the disks and it shoud tell you 3. 
    I'm betting that when you check the first disk you will find that it has about 6.5 to 7gb of data on it and the drivers disk has about 3gig, more than what would fit on a single D/L dsk.  I know that my L305-S5933 is like that and I can't imagine that your's would be that much different.
    Addendum:  I just checked my 3 disks and they are as follows
    Recovery Disk 1 - 4.3 GB
    Recovery Disk 2 - 2.77 GB
    Drivers and Applications Disk 3 - 2.1 GB
    That totals 9.17 GB more than the capacity of a single D/L disk.
    Plus I believe that Chris hit the nail on the head of their wanting to keep the actual Recovery Disk(s) seperate from the Drivers & Applications disk.

  • How to create recovery disks for Lenovo H530s with WIndows 8.1

    Hello there,
    I just purchased a Lenovo Hf30s type 10131 with Windows 8.1, mini tower: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/desktops-and-all-in-ones/lenovo-h-series-desktops/lenovo-h5...
    I like to create recovery disks, but  the already installed program OneKey Recovery does not have the option of recovery disks, it allows only larger media such as USB stick and hard disks.
    Here to I have 2 questions:
    1. Is there a way to create a recovery disks that will create the original factory settings with 5 partitions?
    2. Does any one knows if the recovery siskd sold by Lenovo (for Netherlands they cost between 23 and 38 Euro) would do the job by creating the factory settings with 5 partitions?
    My goal is to reformat the hard disk and aprtitionig it the way I need it, but in case of anything, I would like to be able to go back to the original facttory state of the unit, especially if I have a harddisk failure and neer to replace the hard didks.
    Thank you in advance and I wish you a very pleasant and successful day.

  • Unable to Create a Disk Image of Device

    Hello.
    The MacIntosh is a Mac Mini w/1.83Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. The OS is Snow Leopard, 10.6.2. I am unable to create a disk image of the device "Macintosh HD".
    Here's my procedure:
    1) Reboot the Mac Mini from the Snow Leopard Install Disk
    2) Set Language and then load "Disk Utility"
    3) Select the Macintosh HD from Disk Utility
    4) Set "Create a New Image from Macintosh HD"
    5) Leave the settings as they are (type of disk image is "compressed" target repository is root home dir)
    6) Error message is "Unable to create Macintosh HD (error -61)"
    7) When I then try to create a blank disk image, once again, with root home as repository the error message is "Unable to create name.dmg (read-only) file system"
    Any suggestions how to fix?
    Thanks
    Mike

    you can smb from terminal but it will not help you. you'll need to create a folder which will serve as the mount point first and where will you put it? you can not do it on the dvd. and you can not put it in the main drive itself. but why do you need to do it that way at all. there is no need to boot from the DVD period. boot normally and clone your hard drive to a remote disk image on an smb share using one of many backup programs that can do this. Superduper can do it. so can CCCloner.
