Hi,

I made a Bootable Recovery Disk on a USB External HDD with Dell's Recovery Tool to install it on my SSD. Since Windows was factory installed, I don't have any Windows CD. I have the product ID and the CD key.

As read in this forum, I unplug the HDD, plug the SSD, and boot on the USB drive to install Windows 8 on the SSD..

When I restart my PC, it boots on USB as planned but when the recovery is about to start. I receive an error saying that there is not enough memory on the drive and that I need a least 1800 GB or so of available space.

My PC is new so the recovery disk is barely 5 GB

I'm clueless of what to do

My PC is a Dell
My SSD is a Kingston Hyper X

Help plz
