Hey there,

IAM using HP Pavilion N007ax laptop... when buying my laptop, I have cams with pre - installed Windows 8 Operating Sytem with a factory image... in the case of problem backup system I can easily back this OS and back to normal...

Finally, I've upgraded to 8.1 windows via the shop... I tried to update my PC because of some crashes... when updating from my PC has downgraded and returns on Windows 8 ... this problem occurs more than 5 times for me...

Now I want to make a backup of Windows 8.1 as an image instead of windows 8 Sytem image given with it... because I can not be able to download windows 8.1 each time when he broke down ...

  • How to create a recovery media factory with Dell backup and restore on Windows 10 1.6.2.4 v?

    I got today a Dell inspiron 3521 a customer, without warranty, after some checking, I discovered that the hard disk has errors and needs to be replaced

    No problem, the only problem is... I have no installation of Dell Windows 8 media. The laptop is updated to Windows 10 last year. In programs and features, I see that Dell backup and restore 1.6.2.4 v is installed. When I search the Dell backup or watch all the apps installed I can't find the program. So I can't run the program to create installation floppies

    When I go to:

    program/PC (x 86) / Dell backup and recovery, I see a lot of files and 4 records, but no configuration file.

    So my question is, how do you create a Dell Windows 8 installation media? Can I use after installing the new hard drive, reinstall Windows?

    For good order, I can't, until now still approach the hard drive.

    Who knows the solution to install the software dell of origin on the new drive?

    The application must be updated for Windows 10 - you can get it as a download from Dell.

    However, if 10 is already installed and enabled, you can also manually install WIndows 10 without the need of a product key - that way, however, do retain none of the applications Dell preinstalled on the system (which is not very important, as some of them such as PowerDVD would require a paid upgrade to work with Windows 10 in any case).

    DBaR 1.9 is here:

  • Windows Backup and Restore does not save F: and Q:?

    Windows backup and restore settings show that it is possible to backup C: and D:, but shows no F: and q.

    You save hidden records, for example HP-Tools or any disk recovery.

    Using windows backup, there are two types of backup

    (1) data up - obviously only backup data

    (2) image, which creates a complete picture of the system, to the date the image was created. You can then restore the image if necessary

    Second

    HP would be provided either a defined recovery disk, or more generally presented guidelines on how to create the recovery disks. It is a HP process, not a victory for MS a.

    Recovery discs using HP allows you to fix either the sys or a destructive restore to factory supplied State.

    If you restore to factory of the reader state Q is created when initialize you Office Starter

    BTW save you or Image to the external media, if the drive breaks down (this isn't a head crash) everything on that drive is lost, to the end user.

  • Satellite P750/P755 - backup and restore Windows 7

    Hello

    My hard drive is about to fail on my Windows 7 Satellite P750; I get warnings of impending failure for a month now. I bought a hard drive again, and he's ready to go, but I am unable to create a backup and restore point. I get an error message 0 x 81000037: "snapshots of files cannot be read.

    Let me give you a part of the history of my machine before we get to the question. Windows 7 is pre-installed on this machine. A year ago, I created a new partition and installed Linux. Linux then took over the responsibilities of the boot. A couple of weeks, I deleted the Linux partition. This gave me a problem because the computer could not start. Fortunately I had recently created a return upwards and the restore point, and during the process, I was asked if I wanted to create a Windows 7 Home Premium repair disc. I could use this CD to access a command line tool that makes the new bootable machine.

    However, I have more a hidden on my machine boot partition (at least according to the disk management snap-in I'm not). Now, I get the above error when I try to create a new backup and restore point. I don't have a copy of the previous backup and restore point (I deleted it to make room for a new).

    From my research, apparently, one of the possible causes of the error 0 x 81000037 is related to the size of the hidden boot partition. Because I do not have the hidden boot partition I fear this could be the cause.

    There are other possible causes of this error. For example, a virus that the antivirus refuses to give access to during the back up and restore the partition, and junction points in to save readers who are the mounted volumes. I ran a full scan on my computer and cannot find any threats. I checked my junction points (which are a bit) and none are mounted drives.

    This brings me to suspect that the lack of a boot partition is the problem. I saw in the forums of some suggest it is better to back up all my data in the traditional way (already done, since you ask), install the new drive to hard and then reinstall Windows 7.

    So eventually, we get to my question!

    Windows 7 is installed on my machine, I think that I don't have the disks to reinstall on a new hard drive. Is this correct? I am able to get a copy?

    To be honest, I wouldn't reinstall Windows on a hard disk again, rather than using a return to the top of the spirit and point of restoration. I have a LOT of programs and rubbish that have accumulated in it in the (almost) last 3 years.

    Thank you for your patience. If there are some details that might be useful, but I left out (I'm sure there is) please let me know.

    You have not all discs because Toshiba provides clean recovery disc creator software which is always pre-installed on new laptop computers.
    This recovery disk tool or support of creator creates the recovery disk that can be used to recover the laptop.

    It was a big mistake not to create this disk, however, you have the possibility to order this disc here:

  • Can I download Windows XP Backup and Restore Wizard?

    When I bought my computer I did not receive the Windows XP disks.  I want to make a backup of the entire system on an external hard drive, as opposed to the individual file backup.  All the help files I've found say to insert the XP disc.  Then I found the Backup Wizard online and install it directly to my computer?

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will need to install the XP Backup utility yourself and here are some instructions on how to do it.

    If you are not using XP Home and XP backup is to give you some grief, try to describe the issue in more detail.

    The backup program is automatically installed on XP Professional, but not on XP Home. If you have the genuine bootable XP Home installation CD, insert it into your system and navigate to this folder:

    \ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP

    Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file to start the installation.

    Here is a nice article from Microsoft which tell you all this:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=302894

    Here is another article that explains how to:

    http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

    If you don't have an installation CD and need to download the Ntbackup.msi file, here is the link if you can download:
    http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

    If you are using in relying on the built in NT backup to back up your system, it is the primitive technology (obviously - because you will be asked for a floppy disk).  If you have a disaster (even minor), you will have a big problem, trying to recovery your stuff, if you don't have a floppy drive.

    If you want to make a backup, it makes sense to use modern technology - and that the technology is not integrated into XP.

    There are many popular options for XP Backup and imaging software (s) of third parties.

    A people a popular seem to love East of Acronis.

    With this (free 30 day trial) you backup, you can make a bootable CD or bootable USB (which is modern, huh?) and use than disaster.

    They used to have a completely free version - maybe no more - just the trial, then you must buy it, but it is highly respected.

    It is so much more robust than the XP Backup, it's laughable.

    Many other options if you do a little research on Google...

    Here are a few products that PML has proposed may be attractive (use Google to find them):

    Hello

    The WindowsMail.MSMessageStore file is the file of database of WinMail. You will not be able to backup and restore that easily. You should back up the registry keys and the entire message store and no not only the database file. The WindowsMail.MSMessageStore file is only the database and does not contain messages. The messages are in the same directory, but under the directories that correspond to message folders in WinMail. Old Windows Mail would be apt file to search for.

  • Reference Dell backup and restore is unable to create a DVD of recovery on Windows 8

    Dear Dell,

    I am creating recovery discs "Dell backup and Recovery application" but when I was asked to insert the second DVD, the optical drive keeps rejecting DVD. The application will not continue to burn the second DVD and seems to be frozen. I tyied with different DVD brands/manufacturers and also-/ + r unfortunately. The question remains. I could find this 593906 article published 21-01 - 2013 (http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kcs/document?c=us&cs=19&docid=593906&doclang=en&l=en&s=dhs link). Although I did the updates, I'm still not able to create recovery discs!   File: after having inserted the Disc 3 application gives the message "Dbr.exe-" not found disk and stays there and rejects the DVD.  I spoke with the Greek team of Dell. I was told that warranty does not cover the support of sw even if my unit is less than a week. Furthermore, I learned that although "Dell backup and restore" application said THAT DELL is not actually a Dell product so they can't support. They my proposed to use the recovery of files from windows 7 place (which needs at least 8 DVD!). As you can understand it's a workaround and not a Solution.

    I hope that someone from Dell will consider the issue and to come back with a precise answer and a permanent solution.   (Model: inspiron 15 3521). Thank you

  • Problems of restoring a backup of Windows Vista backup and restore program

    I recently had to completely reinstall Windows XP, then the Vista upgrade, to fix a problem with updates of Microsoft.NET and ATI graphic driver.  In may, I made a full backup of my laptop using Vista resident backup and restore program, using an external hard drive to store the backup.  When I learned that I had to reinstall the operating system, I did another backup in August (but not complete) using the same program.  Just after this backup in August, I did the reinstallation of operating systems, with the help of the phone of Dell.  My original problems are solved.

    When I was ready to use the restore the Vista program, I had to choose among the two sets of data (May to August) about which I wanted to restore on my laptop.  I chose August, thinking that it would be later.  However, in Outlook, all my saved e-mail messages are gone, I have no e-mail address book and any current calendar entries.  These are the only things I noticed up to this and are not, but I have not checked all the files... they are large enough.

    The folder on my laptop which normally contains my Outlook data files shows only a file Archive and the very small current .pst data file for 7 messages in my Inbox.

    It seems that the backup of August was important to may backup and maybe most of my Outlook data are in the may backup.  How to get data from two backups in my laptop?  When the backup is a folder with the same name, you have the opportunity to write about it, not copy, or copy it and have 2 folders.

    I tried to copy all the data from the external hard drive in the folder of Outlook data on my laptop.  It will eventually be several files, and Outlook reads only the more recent, so I don't always get access to the data that I hope is here!

    Can someone please?  My life is in my calendar, I lost years of e-mail addresses, and much saved messages that contain important data.  Thank you!

  • Backup and restore - Windows 7

    Apology, long story - cannot shorten it, otherwise I'll think I forgot something.

    I just rebuilt my PC, reinstalled Win 7 on a SSD and restored everything (or so I thought) all my data on a separate HARD disk.

    When I look at the data I find loads of it is missing. I'm afraid I don't know the reason but want someone more competent than me confirm my fears, or better yet, tell me differently!

    Before getting the SSD, I got a 1 TB disk partitioned in C: for windows and programs, as well as the d: for data. The data were vast dating back to the years whose number of Paperport files.  There's always a curiosity, perhaps caused by transfer of data between several computers and HARD drives older over the years, I could never "see" all of my My Documents Paperport files, but only by going to desktop (or Windows Explorer) and open D: > users and then my user name. will in this case showed my a whole much fuller of the files and folders to go through My Documents. I don't think it was to do with me do not include them in the library because I believe that I had added things to the library as he was transferred, but I could be wrong.

    I think that it is possible that I had managed to create two sets of users, possibly by copying my Windows XP user account and the game 'full' of files (including all my Paperport documents) was not really visible to my 'real' user account in Windows 7.

    I always kept backups (including Images of the system) using Windows backup on the external (USB) 1 TB HARD drive. (G)

    I created originally the SSD by cloning my C: partition to the new SSD. (I've always built my own PC and Windows 7 on the HARD drive was an OEM installation and I had no right, then disks). It worked well, but I've always had a message on startup asking to choose the "Recovered" version I wanted to start. (It is possible that during cloning, I managed to install windows twice).

    I finally decided to put things away to the top (and I had gotten my Win 7 discs at hand). I did a complete (so I thought) backup of my C: and D: drives on a brand new 1 TB HDD internal (e) I had installed as the old USB has been slow (and complete) in case anything went wrong. I had installed a new, pure on the SSD and then (stupidly in retrospect) re-partitioned disk HARD original 1 TB in a single partition D: and "restored" the data from the new E: drive on the re-partitioned D: drive and put all Windows sites to point to the drive D: for My Documents etc. That's when I found that all the stuff that I previously had access via the workstation > users > Stuart was missing. (Why oh why didn't I just use the new E:drive as the data Windows drive and copy the stuff up drive D: when I saw all this and work!)

    OK I though all is not lost - I have the original backup to disk USB g: so I restored from there. Same no result - no files Paperport, nothing of what I used to have access via my computer > users > Stuart.

    So no data only backup Windows 'official' user account backup and ignore anything else on the D: drive? Was I wrong my backups? Are my data hidden somewhere that maybe a full restore of the system of the E:drive be recovered? I don't think, but I hope.

    Advice, suggestions, commiserations welcome.
