    5. Connect a USB storage device to your Eee PC and click Backup in the Recovery System dialog box to start the recovery files backup.
       • The size of the connected USB storage device should be larger than 16GB.
       • Memory cards are not supported for this function.
       • A dialog box appears as a reminder if you have not connected the USB storage device for system recovery backup to your Eee PC.
    6. Select a desired USB storage device if more than one USB storage device is connected to your Eee PC and click Continue.

The USB flash drive that you will use to store the imageo f the OS will be intended for single use only..
