    Hi there

    I dont know where to turn to for help so posting my question here with hope of getting the right guidance.

    I got a new HP Netbook which I havent opened yet (I am not aware if I can post questions about netbook here or not) and since there is no CD/DVD Drive and neither do I have any access any portable DVD Writer then can I take its backup on USB Drive? is it possible? if yes then what size of USB Flash Drive shall I buy?

    I do have another laptop with DVD writer so is there a way to take the Netbook backup by using the laptop dvd writer?

    Please help me in this matter.

    The recovery disk maker will actually allow you to make a recovery USB drive.

    On my Mini 110-3015dx it took up 13GB which means you'll need a 16GB flash drive.
