I have hp pavilion dv6510ej laptop and recovery dvd disk.

Recently I have to format all my hard disk so I lost my recovery partition.

I want to restore my laptop using the hp recovering dvd disk, but I can't because my dvd drive doesn't work. So I tried to create a bootable flash drive using disk-on-key of 16 GB but didn't succeed.

How to copy my recovering dvd disk to a flash disk so I succeed to use it for booting ? Everything I tried doesn't work.

Thanks a lot

Buy a USB DVD drive, its the only way. USB recovery cannot be converted to DVD's. – Moab Aug 28 '11 at 17:54

HP has this article that might be what you are looking for.

I saw this article. It doesn't help me because I don't have the original OS (Vista) and the original recovery partition since all my HD was format.

In the article it was writen:

"A USB Recovery disk cannot be created if the original operating system has been changed, or if the Recovery partition has been erased or removed."

Something else ? I just don't know how to copy the recovery dvd to a flash disk-on-key (stick)...

Thanks anyway...
