• Get the error code: 0 X 81000037 while safeguarding my hard drive Windows 7.

  Original title: Error code: 0 X 81000037

  I've never had a success to the top of my hard drive in Windows 7 and after 3 years, I think it's time to figure out why. I get error code 0 X 81000037.

  Windows backup failed trying to read from the shadow copy on one of the volumes to back up. Please check logs in case any relevant errors.

  When I entered the code on the MS site he gave me instructions on how to locate my junctions from the command prompt:

  DIR /S OF RANDOM

  Then he gives me instructions on how to remove a mounted volume reparse point, but there are 2 things wrong with that.

  1. they do not tell you how to determine what junction to remove and

  2. they don't tell you how to get to the window 'Properties of sample Volume mounted' that you're supposed to do in.

  Here is the URL see for yourself. https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/973455#bookmark-workaroundissue12

  The event log said: "If the volume of the source or the destination is on a disk (of course, it is on a disk would it be what on?). My C: drive I save is internal my drive and my drive G: I am saving is a 500 GB external WD.) Run CHKDSK/R, and try the operation again. »

  Anyway I'll run CHKDSK/R on both drives and, hopefully, by then someone will post a reply as to where I can find this mystery mounted Volume sample fenΩtre "PropriΘtΘs" who speak the incomplete evidence and perhaps a clue as to which junction I'm supposed to delete.

  Yes - if you happen to have a drive WD their software is quite reliable and usable, and it's free.

  For those who aren't, here's what seems to be a good alternative:

  If you want a truly refreshing experience of backup image at least consider the free version of Macrium Reflect:

  http://www.Macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx

  Think about what you are going to do one day if your hard drive failures or your system does not start, and you must rely on the backup/restore of Microsoft program and help you could get these committed Microsoft alleged 'experts' (not the same as volunteers in the community who are the real experts).

  Then imagine the process of recovering your files or your entire system using software and tools to a company that specializes in backup/restore or using the tools provided by Microsoft.  Which company do you think knows more about how things like backup/restore and system recovery should work?

  Imagine the support you would get from a company that specializes in the backup/restore software and that's all they do all day long.  You've seen the kind of support you get from Microsoft?  Without success, didn't work, etc.

  Of course, you will get more features in the wages of Macrium version, but even the free version is superior to everything that Microsoft has to offer (backup/restore is not their business).

  Install and test the free version.  If you don't like it, uninstall it.

• Pavilion g7 2325dx: info from the BIOS for a correct start of the drive to a new hard drive windows

  My hard drive is dead and he needed replacement. Did. Had initially been Windows8, but upgraded to Windows 10. Impossible to re boot with drives of resettlement. Need BIOS startup specs, screen info to use disks.

  Hey Bettyboophume,

  No worries! If you have recovery media, you should be able to put it in and have the laptop back on it. However, just in case where that is not the case for you, there is a document called configuration of the Boot in the BIOS system order.

  The boot order can be configured on the Advanced tab in the BIOS Setup menu. The procedure for changing the boot order may vary according to the model of the computer.

  HP Pavilion Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide of g7, on page 90, Chapter 7, backup, restore, and recovery (Windows 8) you will see that it says:

  Change the order of computer startup if the computer does not restart in HP Recovery Manager, you can change the order of the computer startup, which is of the order of the devices listed in the BIOS where the computer searches the startup information. You can change the selection to an optical drive or a USB flash drive.

  To change the boot order:

  1. Insert the HP Recovery Media, that you have created.

  2 restart the computer.

  3. press on and hold esc while restarting the computer and then press f9 to boot options.

  4. Select the optical drive or you want to boot from USB flash drive.

  5. follow the on-screen instructions.

  I hope this helps!

• Satellite C660 needs new HARD drive - Windows 7

  Hello

  My C660 needs a new hard drive. It came with Windows 7 Home premium pre-installed, and I would like to get back to that.

  If I go to Microsoft to download windows 7 with my product key, it gives an error. I contacted the support Ms. I don't remember what they said, but they could not help, perhaps because it was a version of installed manufacturer?

  So if I get a new hard drive, how can I go back to my previous operating system, Windows 7 Home Premium?

  Help please?

  You can have the previous operating system (recovery image) If you install it using a recovery (DVD or USB) media.
  I assume that you did not create this media recovery in the past, the right?

  If you always use your laptop and pre-installed OS try please create this media using pre-installed recovery media utility. More info on what you can read in the document of the user manuals.

• Vegetto hard drive Windows cannot fix

  Since the need to install the new hard drive I will be able to win.7 on machine

  Hello

  ·        Change you the hard drive only or try to install windows 7 on a new machine?

  If you only change the drive of the machine then there is no problem with installation and activation of the copy of windows 7. But you must activate the copy via telephone support.

  If you try to install the second copy of windows 7 on a different machine when one is already active then you can install Windows 7 but will not be able to activate it.

  In simple terms, you can get a copy of Windows 7 active with the product key on one machine at a time. To install windows 7 and activate on another computer, you should get a new product key.

  Note: You can use the same disk to install windows 7 on different computers, but when you activate Windows 7, a product key is valid for a single installation.

• Refusal of the WORKSTATION to access external hard drive window

  Hello

  I can't access an external hard drive (WD My Book Home Edition). The problem happened when I disconnected my external drive from my Win XP Pro computer and plugged into another Win XP Home computer that had another WD external drive attached to it. Both my drive ext as wel as the other disk ext became inaccessible. I disconnected my 2nd computer ext drive and connected to computer Win XP pro that I always use. However even though my computer recognizes the drive I have noticed that the icon WD changed to a regular folder icon and whenever I try to open it, it says drive H is inaccessible. I also noticed that the folder icon was the same as the 2nd ext drive connected to the computer Win XP Home. I tried the microsoft bulletin:
  "This article describes how to capture a file or folder to which you are denied.
  I décliqués the "simplified" sharing and set permissions on a shared folder. "" After that it gives information about the ownership of the folder as follows:
  To take ownership of a folder, follow these steps: right - click the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.
  1. Click on the Security tab, and then click OK in the security message (if one appears).
  2. Click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
  3. In the name list, click on your user name , or click on administrator , if you are logged in as administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the check box Replace owner of subcontainers and objects.
  4. Click OKand then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:
     You are not allowed to read the contents of the directory folder name . Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

     All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.

     Note folder name is the name of the folder you want to take charge.

  5. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.

  I can not follow these directions as I do not have a visible security tab. I was able to save things to my ext drive but cannot access it from the my computer window. I am therefore able to see the contents of the disc in the 'SAVE AS' window. Given that I'm not very good at the computer stuff can someone give me step by step instructions on how to access my drive hard Ext. window "WORKSTATION". Thank you in advance.

• did I lose my software from my hard drive - windows xp cloning

  I installed a program that is essential to my business - software transmitter is out of business - I have a hard drive failing.

  IF I clone my hard drive will I be able to use my software without reloading or re-registration - I have windows XP.

  Cloning is the absolutely correct process to use.  Don't forget to do it fast, before your drive actually dies.

  If all goes well (never say there are never problems), you will not lose anything or to do anything other than swap the new drive for the old drive.  In addition, cloning does not erase the original disc in order to verify the new drive before you erase or destroy the original.

  For safety, use an external hard drive enclosure to hold the new drive when cloning.

  Whatever you do, do NOT restart Windows with the original drive and the cloned drive connected as internal drives.

• To access the files and folders from the hard drive Windows 7 on Windows XP, access denied error message.

  Original title: portable destroyed - need for car access

  I don't know if this is the right forum - please advice if it is not.

  My friend's laptop computer was destroyed in a car accident. I pulled the drive and placed it in my desktop XP system and the drive appear in good health. However, I received permission issues trying to access records on the disk and thought that it was because of me using Win XP and the laptop was Win7x64. My questions below are based on the assumption that I'm not able to access these files on my Win XP system. If this assumption is incorrect, so please let me know.

  I have a laptop that I don't use and put the disk in it. I was hoping it would be plug and play all the new material, but after reading a little online, I know that this is not the best thing to do and will probably not work as did the earlier versions of Windows.

  In the end, I care retrieves the contents of the disc, although it would be great if I could lend my laptop for a few weeks with "its files" until it sorts how to replace the laptop.

  Can I get the player Win7x64 working on the laptop computer of replacement by reinstalling Win7x64 on this laptop? I'm not "means a clean install/reformat, but have rather the Setup program detects an existing installation, and do its magic to get the operating system runs on new hardware?"

  I know that this raises questions of MS licenses. If the installation process could get his old system running on the laptop replacement, if I have a small window of time completely to access his files before being forced to re-register the OS? I'm hoping so.

  I'm looking for only a short-term solution - I do not recommend that he hopes that drive long term because the laptop got quite truncated of the accident, and once he gets a new laptop it will have everything he needs on this subject (OS, licenses, etc.). If I have a small window of time where I can simply copy their important files, or to lend him my laptop with its player and him can bring to its domestic network and the print out of all the things that are important, that it's going to be all together to move them to a new laptop when it is available.

  Thank you
