• Time capsule backups are in red

  I just started to use time machine yesterday with a 5 TB partitioned HARD drive. We have 3 TB and one had 2 TB. The time machine is using the 2 TB partition. When I get time machine, restore is dimmed and all my backups are in red. Why is this?

  Thank you

  I hope you don't mean that you try to back up one partition to another on the same drive. It does not work.

  You must select an item in the view of time travel until you click on restore. The color of the chronology is normal in El Capitan.

• Satellite P770 - Question on backup partition

  Hello
  first of all, I'm not really sure that I am in the right section, I apologize if I am not!
  Then, my English not is really good when it comes to computering, so forgive me again :)

  So, I have a Toshiba Satellite P770 and I know that there is some kind of partition backup, I already used it, (last night) because I wanted to clean t.

  Then I realized that the partitions are not as I wanted them to be, so I chose the option where I can format the entire hard drive (2x500Go, took about 2 hours for each of them) after that, I tried to use this "secret partition" install everything back.
  The problem is that when I press F8 when I turn on the laptop, I get an error message:
  "Reboot and select proper boot device."
  "or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.

  I would like to know if I've already screwed up, and I can't use this backup partition that was provided with the laptop.
  If I can, how can I do it? I don't know how to select the proper boot device...

  Thanks for your help!

  I'm afraid you have ruined all of Mr. is typical of many people who play with the laptop before they read s manuals where is recommended creation of backup called recovery DVDs DVD.

  You may have this?

  Anyway, recovery disc HARD OS install (from the recovery partition) can work if the structure of the partitions is not modified and portable has factory settings.
  Now, if you want to have once again the factory settings, you must use the recovery DVDs. If you didn t create that you must buy an and it can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• after image restore, backup partition table is different

  Hello

  He is a 2012 Macbook mid Pro with El Capitan and Bootcamp.

  After repeated with Bootcamp (Windows 10 Pro) problems I started using Image of Terabyte for Linux in order to safeguard this Macbook. Forums terabyte that people know that the Image of Linux (such as Image for Windows) is able to create a reliable backup, but also to restore - restore an entire disk image or restoring individual partitions.

  I followed their instructions precisely and activated the two options "restore first Beach" and "TPG hidden OS" (as one terabyte official, Member of the forum wrote) when restoring a partition.

  Unfortunately, it did not work! Bootcamp was no longer visible in the start screen or wasn't visible, but not start.

  What I found was that I had to keep the two options (see above) with DISABILITIES.

  Then I could restore some partition images - and 10 Windows in Bootcamp is bootable.

  Well, it was the long introduction.  I'm sorry.

  Now my question is:

  Is this something that has changed my partition table?

  Before restoring an Image for backup of Linux for the first time, I had this partition table:

  localhost: ~ root # fdisk/dev/disk0

  Disk: geometry / dev/disk0: 60801/255/63 [976773168 sectors]

  Signature: 0xAA55

  From end

  #: cyl hd s - cyl hd s id [Start - size]

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

  1: EA 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63 [1-409639]

  2: AF 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63 [409640-857906448] HFS +.

  3: AB 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63 Boot Darwin [858316088-1269536]

  * 04:07 1023 254 63-1023 254 63 [859586560-117186560] HPFS/QNX / TO THE

  BUT:

  After failed attempts to restore and work finally restore my partition table operation is different:

  Fdisk/dev/disk0

  Disk: geometry / dev/disk0: 60801/255/63 [976773168 sectors]

  Signature: 0xAA55

  From end

  #: cyl hd s - cyl hd s id [Start - size]

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

  1: EA 0 0 2 - 1023 255 63 [1-409639]

  2: AF 25 102 15 - 1023 255 63 [409640-857906448] HFS +.

  3: AB 1023 0 57 - 1023 255 63 Boot Darwin [858316088-1269536]

  * 04:07 1023 199 8-1023 255 63 [859586560-117186560] HPFS/QNX / TO THE

  Everything seems to work fine, but I wonder if the different appearance of the partition table can be a problem?

  For example, compare:

  1: EA 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63]

  3 o

  409639]

  TO

  1: EA 0 0 2 - 1023 255 [63 3 o 409639]

  It's the output of 'diskutil list ':

  In Fdisk, the CHS numbers are arbitrary on modern disks. They are the time of BIOS and old disks with CHS geometry. Puts BCA from Mac 0-1023 (1024 cylinders), 0-255 (256 heads) and 0-63 (64 sectors). Modern disks far exceed those numbers and would drain them. Must match what is the triplet of start/end/size and it fits in GPT and MBR. You can put arbitrary 0,0,0 for CHS and you will see all issues on GPT disks.

  Please do not use TBIL to restore W10 to circa 1970-80 disks.

• Time machine backup partition

  According to many resources, that I found while searching, it has been possible, in disk utility, to partition an external backup time machine which was currently being used.  several pages instruct to select the drive in disk utility and click the partition tab.  but it seems that this option is rejected in el capitan, as the partition button is dimmed when I select the drive.  y at - it another way to pull this off, or I'll have to make a copy of the database on a different drive, wipe and partition external and re - set after you have copied the data base on?

  Thank you.

  El Capitan has not changed this ability, something happens. Select the drive, and then click info. Check the window long enough to capture all of its contents (the device tree path is not important and can be truncated). Take a screenshot and paste it into a response.

• How can I delete a backup partition C once it has been burned to a disc for recording?

  Hi, I saved my data on a disk and now I'm trying to delete the backup of my computer to save space, but the program always comes up with a window asking permission and does not delete the C drive backup!

  Also if I save my D recovery drive on a disk remove it from my computer to get more space recovery?

  Hello

  with regard to your D: drive recovery:

  you don't arrest HIM otherwise than for the recovery of the disks.

  you reinstall vista in the event of a failure of hard drive using these recovery disks

  ask the manufacturer of the computer the exact way to do these recovery disks

  and if you have a failure of the operating system lets you put your computer about how you bought this recovery partition

  you will normally need to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process

  ask the manufacturer for the exact key sequence

  and FYI:

  If copy you it to another disk, it will NOT work

  He was photographed during manufacturing and must stay where it should work

• backup partition

  instead of buying an external hard drive for periodic backups aside from the original system recovery disks (I think "full system" backup images) I was wondering what to simply make a backup on the system drive partition when I get my new machine? maybe 30 to 40% of the available space? looking for ideas.

  "There is no such thing as a foolproof system. Someone will make a fool better tomorrow. »

  Hello

  I have a lot of questions, a few problems and a 1 year, Inspiron2350, OEM Win 8.1, 64 bit.

  What can I do these scores? How can I fix the volume so I can create the system image? See screenshot of what it looks like now.

  Can I add a second internal hard drive to this computer? I don't want a second hard drive; I'm just curious.

  Upgrade to A09 especially if you plan to upgrade to Windows 10.

• Attack of virus on MacBook pro, how to set a clean system without use of the infected backup partition?

  Hello, first of all I'm new here and I hope for more help.

  A 2010 MacBook pro has been infected, maybe more even the motherboard - SMC has been affected.

  MSC is back to zero now, which brings to about 10 sec less time to start for drive icons.

  Cannot use the internal hard disk for recovery and my original OS x DVD won't start. (Alt + I)

  I didn't trust my Internet connection. So, what can I do?

  Since there are no viruses that can infect a Mac, please provide details on what makes you think that it is infected.

• In Windows 7 64 bit can drive letter D be removed safely to a HP recovery partition which is full?

  My drive C partition has a lot of space, but the recovery drive D partition shows red/almost complete.  My computer is a HP dv7 laptop running Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition.

  Occasionally, I get annoying warnings in order to free space on recovery drive D.  I know that the D drive is important and not did something for her.

  A previous post of Microsoft MVP said remove the recovery Partition letter D would take care of the problem without affecting, or withdrawing, D recovery drive data.

  However, while following its not recommended, it is a warning about the programs potentially does not work properly. I cancelled the process without continuing.  Other posts in this thread mentioned will come with the removal of the letter ends not "power" with a red 'X'

  I have both a bootable HP recovery disk and a Windows recovery disk for this computer in the case of a hard disk failure, as well as frequent backups and Images of disks of the computer for the whole system.

  I'm sure woud like to get rid of these warnings of boring.  Thanks for any advice.

  Backup Windows, as with all utilitiies of backup, looking for the next after C drive letter because it is not a good idea to save anything on the main drive.

  What Windows backup or any other backup utility does NOT do is check if the disk with the following letter is a suitable place for file backups.

  To locate and remove the backup of Windows files, search for *.bkf and then delete them.

  Backups must be stored in the external media that can be isolated from the host system when the not required. Preferred to use an external USB disk. You can get one of them before deleting the files bkf in D... :-)

  If I want to eject the disc it will freeze it and drive the LEDS will not stop fashing until I take out the usb cable.
