Use recovery flash drive on a second pc same operating system

If needed be in the future, could I use a recovery flash drive created on Pavilion 15 Windows 8.1 64 bits for recovery on a second computer with same operating system (Pavilion 17 Windows 8.1 64 bits). I just want to avoid having to buy a second expensive usb key, I paid 75 euros for the first one. Thanks.

Hi 
Unit configuration is different hence operating system will not work. Hence you need to create a USB recovery media for you other unit as well.
Let us know how it goes!

  • I'm trying to run win 8 on my Macbook Pro (running 10.8.5) is there anyway to run the software on bootcamp without using a flash drive?

    I recieved a download of windows 8 OS Premium, and I'm trying to run it using bootcamp. Unfortunately it's trying to tell me that I need to run it off a flash drive. At this time I don't have a flash drive big enough to hold the OS and the required installer software. Any suggestions?

    Apple only supports Windows on certain hardware.
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Apple provides their framework for Windows to run on a Mac, a piece of software called a Hybrid MBR that bridges the gap between how Windows reads the drive partition table (MBR) and EFI/GUID partition table that Mac's use.
    It doesn't mean Windows can't run on your Mac, a third party solution called rEFIt will also bridge the gap and allow booting of more that just Windows, Linux as well for a triple booting computer.
    Your hardware has to meet the other requirements the second and third operating system needs as as being able to install drivers that will work for your hardware, especially the fans or they will run loud and fast by default.
    http://refit.sourceforge.net/
    This above is a advanced procedure which requires knowledge how computers and various operating systems, drive formats and so forth work.
    I even admit I don't know everything myself, but I experiment on a separate piece of Mac hardware (out of warranty/AppleCare) designed for this purpose so in case something screws up I'm not taking down my only machine and can use the other to get online and find solutions.
    There is a very high potential for losing your data if your using advanced/non-Apple methods to install Windows on your only Mac where Apple doesn't support it. Also one shouldn't be doing this on Mac hardware that is under AppleCare or warranty as it might be voided. Proceed at your own risk and education.

  • HT1751 I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I use a Flash Drive to do so?

    I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). I have IE 8 on Windows XP, and iTunes 10 something. In my Program files list I see iTunes and iTunes (2) and even iPod and iPod (2) where a tech had to back up and do this for me before. I'm just trying to fix it all. I keep getting the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below." I can even run a search and find the folder, but it gives me the same error message. I was planning on using the Microsoft Fix-It tool  to help uninstall then Reinstall iTunes. But I need to backup my library. So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I copy the folder to desktop or can I use a Flash Drive to backup my music? I don't want to do anything until I know for sure how I can backup my songs, and then reinstall them into iTunes. Thanks for any help.

    Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to  'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
    The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
    Thanks for the info.

  • Can I use a flash drive to back up my iTunes?

    Did a search on backing up my iTunes, and only get the option of backing up to a disc (Which is what I've done over the past 3 years. I now have 6 discs accumulated).
    Can I use a flash drive to back up my apps, music, and videos?
    I only have a total of 1.6 GB of apps, music, & video.
    If so, would I then be able to transfer everything from the flash to a new hard drive when I replace the current one?
    Thanks for any advice or help.

    The backup built into iTunes works only with CDs and DVDs, but you can back up onto a flash drive or hard drive manually. Just drag the entire iTunes folder (normally in your user's Music folder) onto the backup device.
    would I then be able to transfer everything from the flash to a new hard drive when I replace the current one?
    Yes. If you back up the entire iTunes folder, you should be able to just copy it back to the new drive in the same location (user -> Music folder).

    A PowerPC Mac, if that's what it is, won't be able to see an Intel Mac's formatted data.  Also ExFat formatting is not supported by 10.6.3 or earlier.  I would try viewing the backup on another Intel Mac with at least 10.6.4.  If it isn't there, then the backup never really took place.  I much profer a hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • Can I use a flash drive in my DV6-1320SD?

    Can I use a flash drive  in my DV6-1320SD?
    And if so, what specs do I need to look for?
    As far as I know, a flash drive is additional to the existing hard drive, not a replacement. Could you keep the old hard drive as a seperate data drive, inside the laptop, and work from the flash drive?

    Not the way you are thinking. Your model is a generation behind the laptops that have a place for a miniature solid state drive. The only "flash" (solid state) drive you can use is one that is the same size and connection as a regular laptop hard drive (2.5 inch SATA) and it would replace, not be in addition to, the regular hard drive. Having said that, the price of solid state drives is just now becoming somewhat reasonable and the performance gains have to be seen to be appreciated. 
    Post back if you want to explore buying, installing and loading software on a solid state drive. 

  • Why can't a mac ipad use a flash drive or cd burner

    Please.   let me know why ipad doesn't have ability yo use a flash drive or CD burner.

    The iPad doesn't have a file manager - like Finder or 'my computer' that allows the use of such devices.
    It likely will never support any sort of optical drive - heck within the next few years I'm wiling to bet cd readers/burners go the way of the floppy drive (likely as soon as the record and video industry goes the way of distribution via USB key). But there are some apps and wireless flash drives that work with iPads - they have an app that takes the place of a file manager.
    Look for sandisk wireelss flash drive, to just name one. I have no experience with them but there are a couple of users here that have them and recommend it a lot.

  • When I import photos taken from my Windows PC using a flash drive, the photos in iPhoto are dated as the date last modified on PC instead of date picture taken.

    When I import photos to my iMac, taken from my Windows PC using a flash drive, the photos in iPhoto are dated as the date last modified on PC instead of date picture taken.

    Then you need to ask a PC forum how to export the photos there to include the Metadata (specifically the EXIF data)
    If there is valid EXIF data iPhoto uses it (the EXIF data is originally added to the photo by the digital camera) and if there is no EXIF data then the only inofrmaiton IPhoto have available is the file metadata and that is what is used
    You can correct the dates in iPhoto using the batch change data/time command

  • I need help, I am unable to download my latest purchase on itunes to my car using a flash drive, any suggestions?

    I am unable to import my latest purchase from iTunes onto my car, I am using a flash drive but when I plug it into my car, it doesn't even show that the cd is on there but it does show it being on there when I plug the flash drive into my pc, any suggestions?

    That message "Adobe Reader could not open 'ZinioReader4(1).air' because it is either not a supported file type " may seem to suggest a relationship between ZinioReader and Adobe Reader. But actually it means the exact opposite. Adobe Reader cannot open this. There is nothing wrong with Adobe Reader; it cannot open .air files, never has, never will.
    So the problem is not Adobe Reader, it is that you are trying to use the wrong thing (Adobe Reader) to open a .air file. My guess is that you were asked what opens .air files and you once chose Adobe Reader.
    No idea what does open .air files or how; but this is to assure you that you are in the wrong place. Perhaps the Adobe AIR forum is the right place.

  • Using A Flash Drive To Boost RAM

    Hey all, I have several questions here. I do sound recordings with my Mac G4 Quicksilver, and need to do some upgrades to run different software. I currently have 10.3.9 but need to go as advanced as I can??? Please forgive my lack of knowlegde when it comes to computers... I catch on fast, but I really don't know much currently. I'm looking at purchasing a 1.8GHz processor to upgrade from 800, and as far as I know my RAM is maxed out at 1.5GB. My computer also doesn't have a DVD drive.
    Question 2: My system as far as I know is maxed out on available RAM, all three slots have a 512MB, totaling 1.5GB or so. On Windows, particularly Vista, you can plug in a 4GB flash drive, and with a few clicks, utilize the 4GB for RAM. I've purchased a 4GB flash drive through Ramjet, with this hope in mind. Is there any way to boost the RAM on my Mac by using this flash drive? Are there any other ways of boosting the RAM?

    SoundMind76:
    My system as far as I know is maxed out on available RAM, all three slots have a 512MB, totaling 1.5GB or so.
    Your RAM is, indeed, maxxed out. That is as much as the QuickSilver will support. However, it will be plenty enough to support Tiger, and even Leopard, if your processor upgrade allows the installation of Leopard. As noted by earlier posters, you cannot use a USB flashdrive as RAM. Here are the technical specifications for Leopard and the minimum system requirements for Tiger.
    I'm looking at purchasing a 1.8GHz processor to upgrade from 800, and as far as I know my RAM is maxed out at 1.5GB.
    I am not familiar with the processor upgrade to which you refer, but if you can do that it will give you a very powerful computer. The processing speed comes from the processor, and RAM and a minimum of 15 GB available disk capacity (free space) will improve efficiency.

  • Using a flash drive

    Aloha all, I can't believe this hasn't been asked before, but after 15 -20 min of searching the iPhoto forums I haven't been able to find a difinitive answer. So, can I store my library on a large flash drive, and use it to view my photos? I know I can use an external HD, I do it with my MacBook, but is it workable to use a flash drive as the external drive or will it just be to slow to be of any use? Mahalo for any info, tips, or suggestions. JB

    A flash drive is an external disk. Just, as with any external, make sure it’s formatted for Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Iphoto will have issues on any other format. Also, unless it’s USB 2 it will be painfully slow.

  • I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all

    I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all. How come?

    If you're exporting a project then you'll only get the images in that project. Also if any of the masters are referenced then you won't get those masters unless you check Consolidate masters into exported library
    It might be best if you started from the beginning and explained what it is your are trying to do and how you're going about doing it. Also a description of you're hardware/software setup would be helpful.

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • Sync 2 computer using Axiom flash drive

    Hi,
    I apologize in advance because I have no clue where to post this questions and I probably won't sound like I know what I'm talking about.
    I have 2 iMacs and I use files and folders of the same on both computers. I go from home to work and vice versa and I carry these files and folders with me on my flash drive. I am screwing things up trying to figure out if I've used a file on my flash drive, hard drive or what?
    Can I use some kind of sync program that will take the newer files from either the flash drive, or two hard drives and use the current file/folder on all?
    Does this even make sense? I know I can't possibly be the first person to want to do this, I'm just not sure of the jargon I need to use.
    Other question, is there a better way of doing this? I've looked around, but I feel like my head is going to explode because I don't know what I need or what to ask?
    Thank you!

    This may not be the answer to your question, which I have probably misunderstood, but you can do what you want without using a flash drive by using .Mac, which will allow you to sync the two computers over the internet. That way, both machines will be current, and you don't have to figure out what you have, or have not, transferred.
