• 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.

• Backup partition is red

  I have a HP Pavilion P7 - 1037c. I just did the backup on a second external drive. Now when I go on the icon my computer on the desktop different disks are OK except the backup partition. The line shows how much it is red. What does that mean? Thank you!

  Hello ticketplease, restore partition d: the factory is in fact not a disc but a partition on the hard drive, just like the C: partition.

  The D: partion is designed to be used only for the HP recovery restore procedure. It should never be used as a drive backup (partition), where all the files would be added to this partition.

  When Windows recognize any partition which becomes full of data, by default, he colored the Red score to alert the user that the partition is larger.

  You try to use Windows Explorer and see if you can identify the files that have been added to the D: partition and deleted these files to a different location. It is not possible to determine these added files.

  The only way to resolve this problem if you cannot identify and delete files added, would be to perform a procedure to restore HP recovery that wipe the hard drive and reinstall the original software included with the system.

  You would need to make a backup of any important data before you performed the restore HP recovery procedure.

• 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

• 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.

  Hello!

  My acer backup partition is removed. However, I backed up the key from the BIOS before you remove it. Can I download ISO 10 win from Microsoft and install it with the same key?

• Seagate drive back up the partition problem

  Hello

  I have a problem with a Seagate drive on my mac.

  The drive is 1 TB and I formatted into 2 partitions: 1 exFat and 1 for Time Machine. All worked fine for the last 2 years, but now when plug the drive into my mac it loads only the partition exFat (I can access the content of it.).

  Backup partition isn't appearing any more. I tried to open disk utility, but it won't let me see my discs, while the Seagate is connected. (I thought about it when I unplugged the Seagate drive, everything is back to normal).

  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.

  Experienced this kind of problem?  I would be very grateful if you could help me.

• question about a new external hard drive partitioning

  I just bought a TB G-Technology G 4 USB 3.0 drive to replace my old Lacie which is way to small.  It has served me well.

  I Google search on the net and research here in the discussions, I should create partitions, and if so, how, a few observations are in each article thread or by email.  A reason to partition (actually more than one partition) is so we can have a section for our time Machine backups, and for a section where we want to save our data backup and one for our user data?  I have not seen a clear statement on what might be the 'data', or what might be the 'user data '.  And if the time machine is backed up, is it NOT back up my data files?

  In order to unravel how the partitions I should create in my 4 TB Ex HD, can someone help me better understand what I should and should not save in time machine?  And if I choose to NOT include it in my Time Machine backup, why would I use a partition do it to, in order to save manually?  I do not pretend that it sounds stupid, I'm not clear on what 'it' is and what info I use to make the best decision for my use.

  Thanks a lot for any wisdom you could share with me.

  Michelle

  Have a Time Machine backup partition on the same drive as your data is a stupid backup plan. Since the main cause of data loss is disk failure to have the backup on the same disk as the means of data when the wrong road, you lose everything.

  At Time Machine backup. You never know what data you will lose.

  I suggest that you give up your plan to make the Time Machine backups on the same drive as the data. You need another player for that.

• Can record data on a partition of time machine?

  I am able to put things on a partition that is used for time machine without screwing something up? As the partition that has the "Backups.backupdb" folder which I assume has the stuff of time machine in it. Can I copy other files in the partition (but not in this case, of course)?

  I never mix the backups with the raw random data even on the same disk.  Too much chance to "random data" operations damage the backup partition information.

• Satellite A660 - imaging the HARD disc using backup software

  I have an A660. I decided to do a system backup wholw with acronis image home for an emergency. My Quesntion is how are reserved windows make a picture of the toshiba backup partition?

  If I save all 3 partitions above I can restore them individually in case of need arise or I need to get all 3 drives together?

  I just support gelt upward the C drive will no longer Toshiba as its own MBR wrote. I don't mind also save the recovery tohsiba partition too much like its much faster than recovery DVDs.

  Please notify

  Hey,.

  I would recommend a full backup of all partitions. Toshiba recovery partition doesn't need a lot of disk space and recovery environment partition Windows is required, as far as I know, but there are also less disk space.

  With a backup complete all partitions, you are on the safe side and so you can ensure that you have the same settings after doing this.

  In addition if you want to restore the image, Acronis will ask you what you want to restore partitions. So it s always a good idea to make a backup of all partitions.
