Anyone know how to create a recovery image saved to a USB stick? ASUS advises it, doesn't say how!

Make sure your Usb Stick is formatted with NTFS, plug in your stick and open the Control Panel, click on "create a system image", click on the "On a hard disk" selection and then choose your USB Stick, click next and follow the instructions.

No, use your manufacture drive tool , third party software or simply reformat existing drive

Manufacturer's reply: "Now(a)days laptop does not come with recovery disks,as the recovery system is in built in the system". As recommended by the quick guide, I got a new (or empty) 16 GB USB memory stick and followed the procedure under "recovery backup". It took more than 1 hour to finish, then labeled the stick and put it safe.

Matt & Katie - I don't know as the External Super Slim USB that I received did NOT work at all!

What I did is a refresh on the PC (restored the pc but keeping all files and photos. use your search sidebar windows 8 to find). This worked however I'm very careful about what updates I make. The refresh wizard advised that I would need to reinstall asus smart gesture and asus usb charger plus. not sure if I will though since the keyboard is back to working order

Be careful not to mess up the operating system because Craig does not support this device any longer and you won't be able to recover it..And yes use the USB cable and your computer to add or remove files and music...

If you havent already seen it, look at "ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1215N-PU17-BK recovery disc" above.

What have you tried for transfering the photos? I've never had a problem loading pictures with my USB, as well as by simply loading my memory stick into an sd converter. I'm really not sure I'll be able to answer if those two options do not work.

Sorry, no. It's rare nowadays for any supplier to provide installation media. They almost always do, however, create a small protected partition on the hard-drive which the operating system can use to restore the computer to it's "as-delivered" condition in the event of a "hard fault" failure to start. The best thing you can do yourself is create an image of your system on an external storage drive as it is when you are satisfied with it. That way you can restore it to the original drive, or to a newer/faster/bigger or solid state drive when you want better performance or more storage space.

There is Recovery Partition on the Hard Drive, when you first start the laptop it gives you an option to create your own.

Thanks Dean, the drive was working so the format is probably OK. When you plug in the USB the charge light comes on but the data side is obviously not working as the drive is not recognised. You can hear the disks spinning but they are very quiet. Thanks again for your help. Regards: Brendan

I bought this thinking the same thing. When I tried to do this, it did not recognize the files that were on the USB. So in my experience it did not work.

No power at all, or doesn't completely boot up? Did you remove ALL the shipping packaging? Make sure you got everything; I know there's a lot, look again. Be sure you follow the instructions EXACTLY the first time you turn it on or you will cause damage. Especially the first time you connect to a PC to do the initialization process. And NEVER connect an SD card to the USB slot!

Check he website. I think I saw some programs that you could download. But the drive works like any other so you can just use your OS backup software which works like a charm. It's really plug and play, no software needed.

Nah it only comes on intermittently, when it does it comes up garbage, i eventually got it to work and managed to recover some files off with recovery software but lost most of the stuff that was on it. Tried formatting etc and regardless of which computer its plugged into, it only connects intermittently and corrupts the data.
