Post Description

Bij vorige post konden een aantal mensen de keygen niet meer binnenhalen. Tevens waren er mensen die problemen hadden om vanuit het programma de recovery disk aan te maken. Beide zitten in deze post.

Ik heb zelf wat zitten stoeien voor ik het voor elkaar had met de recovery disk op een USB stick voor mijn notebook. Dit kun je ook direct vanuit het programma zelf maken. Er zijn wat eisen vanuit het programma. Misschien handig om deze eisen in gedachte te houden.

Select a drive to create a Symantec System Recovery Disk on a USB device:
- Lets you save your new Symantec System Recovery Disk to a USB device.
- Select the media drive in which you have inserted in the USB device.
- The existing data on the USB device is not formatted during Symantec System Recovery Disk creation. If you have a recovery disk created on the same USB drive, the new recovery disk overwrites the older recovery disk.
- If you save your customized Symantec System Recovery Disk on a USB device, the metadata, recovery environment data, and scripts are stored at the following location:
<USB drive>:\SSR.
Where <USB drive> is replaced with the actual drive letter.

Note: 
Symantec recommends that only privileged users or an administrator should have the rights to access the USB folder. Symantec also recommends that the recovery media files be managed only by trusted users. This is to ensure that the files are always safe and no one can tamper with them.

If you attach an unsupported volume to your computer, the Show Unsupported Devices link is displayed. When you click the link, the Unsupported Devices dialog box with a list of the unsupported volumes and the reason for the unsupported volume is displayed.

Symantec System Recovery Disk on a USB is not supported for the following disks or drives:
* FAT (FAT16) and exFAT formatted drives.
* Dynamic disk.
* Hidden volumes (no drive letter is assigned to the USB volume).
* USB is write-protected.
* USB is protected using an encryption software (such as, BitLocker, TrueCrypt, SEP) at the disk or the volume level.
* USB drives that are on extended partitions.
* USB disk is formatted to GPT layout.
* U3 USB devices.
* Native 4K disk greater than 2TB.

A Symantec System Recovery Disk does not support the super formatted USB disk.
