USB-HDD as a flash drive

Question

Hard disks

You need to copy the recovery partition from a fresh laptop using standard tools, it is copied only to dvd and flash drives. There are no flash drives for 20+ gigs, but there are a lot of usb screws, but they are defined as hard drives and the standard program from HP does not see them.
Tell me, is it possible to emulate usb-hdd as a flash drive?
(laptop HP Pavilion dv7-4120er, Windows 7 x64)

Answer 1

Usually, the inverse problem is solved in order to split the flash drive into sections ... But the essence is the same - you need to change one bit with a special program so that Windows decides that this is not a disk, but a flash drive.

But I still understand where to dig.

Answer 2

and why exactly by regular means, Acronis can copy a section sector by sector

Answer 3

filmed the partition with acronis. and then he was thrown and the image after him. dv7 does not have anything worthy of note in the standard kit. On the edge, a set of firewood can always be pulled from the HP website, and the image of Windows can be found on torrents, since there is a serial number on the sticker.

Answer 4

Hmm, I made it easier on the hp beech. I copied this partition to a stupid one (mounted and copied), then with the help of some magic (Press XX for recovery) I “restored” the bootloader on a new screw. He pulled out the old screw, booted from the new one and installed Windows on the new screw.
