• I can restore a new Macbook Pro with a 128 MB flash usung a drive backup time Machine 1 TB?

  My Macbook Pro 2009 with a 1 TB drive is dead. I bought a new Macbook Pro 13 "early 2015 with 128 MB of memory Flash.

  How can I use the 1 TB time machine backup restore the new MAC?

  Yes, but most likely you can not restore everything and will need to be selective about what should be restored because very probably a full restoration would take more than 100 GB and you need a free storage space so that you can not fill up the drive

  I just got an iPhone 6 and when I plugged in my laptop, he asked if I wanted to restore my new phone. I said yes! But unfortunately chose the wrong backup restore with. Is there a way I can go back to how my phone was before?

  Yes, you can as long as you understand that you will lose everything that is currently on the phone.

  (1) settings > General > reset > erase content and settings

  That will make the iPhone as new.  Then, during the installation process it again once will ask you if you want to restore from an existing backup.  You can then restore the scheduled backup.

  Hi abgolf3,

  The question may be how the new hard drive has been formatted.  Take a look at the way in which the reader is implemented by clicking Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > double-click on computer management > double-click storage.  Is all the space on the disk are responsible?  If so, take a look at these two documents for your problem:

• How to use Windows NT Backup - Restore

  Hello
  I followed the instructions from Microsoft to download Windows NT Backup - Restore and have some to trun on removable storage management.

  But still no idea of how to make to restore .bkf files from my external hard drive to my laptop that is running Windows Vista. I created these Windows XP by using the backup and restore utility.

  When I go to the "backup and Restore Center" in Vista, it still does not recognize these backup files. And I can't open them directly by going into the computer, then in the external drive and try to open the file.

  Thank you

• Windows Backup & restore leaves gaps in the backup period date ranges

  I noticed that backup & restore leaves gaps in the date ranges displayed on the screen of backup periods under the function to manage the space.  This means that files change during the interval periods have not been saved?  For example, the screen shows currently backups and the following periods:

  Jan 26: 12-18 Mar, 12 GB 10.40

  Apr 04, 12-13 Apr, 12 GB 19.62

  27 April, 12-27 Apr, 12 GB 05.16

  May 06,12 - May 06,12 02.41 GB

  May 27.12 - 17 Jun, 12 GB 03.41

  What is the importance of gaps?

  How can I tell that B & R is fully backup all files that changed since the last backup run?

  How can I varify the 1st backup is a backup full?

  How can I varify that the system image backup is up-to-date?

  I save approximately once a week to a USB external hard drive. I use options "Include a system image" and "Let me choose" to select the files and have selected the option 'keep only the last frame system & minimize the space used '.

  Hello

  Backups are created in sets called backup periods. To maximize your disk space, Windows backup backup all folders selected, the first time it's run and then it only backs up files that are new or have been modified since the last backup was made. Periodically, Windows creates a new, full backup. Each full backup is called in a backup. When you view your backups of files, you can see all the backup periods with date ranges. If you decide to delete backups of files, you should always keep the most recent backup of the file.

• Backup/restore of errors Windows 8 feature is not available in a portable workstation environment

  I get the following error message when you try to disable the calendar jobs '

  Backup/restore of errors Windows 8 feature is not available in a portable workstation environment

  I'm on a desktop computer,

  Thank you James. This procedure has helped and I can see the option to backup again to 8/7 of window control center. What I did wrong in the first place was canceled the backup on an external disk, formatted the disc one plugged a new drive. Then, I was not able to click on the link "Backup." Its now fixed. Is some other problem with the problem of recognition of backup or drive window, try this procedure by Michael below.

  Follow these steps to remove the value of register Windows To Go:

  • Open regedit.exe
  • Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
  • Delete this value: PortableOperatingSystem

  You'll probably notice that the problem reappears when you connect a USB drive in the PC. Subsequent removal of this drive will cause the PC to crash. This occurs because the unique identifiers of the USB drive and the internal HARD disk are the same. To resolve this problem, the simplest method is to "clean" the disc. A cleaning will destroy all data on the disk, so backup first.

  1. Open diskpart.exe
  2. Type "list disk" to determine the number of disk to the USB drive.
  3. Type "select disk #", where # is the number of disk you determined.
  4. Type "own."
  5. Type "exit".

  Restart your PC. You can use diskmgmt.msc and diskpart.exe to repartition your drive USB to use it normally.

  Hello

  To be honest, your ad is a little hard to understand and I don t know what you mean exactly.

  The built-in backup tool of XP can save all the directories you want if you choose advanced options. But this tool isn't so comfortable; You can access the data on a running system. More comfortable are Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image in my opinion.

  You can upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. That's why you need to do a clean install and therefore you don't need a backup.
  Just copy your important files like photos, music, etc. on an external HARD drive. All that s! After installing Windows 7, you can copy on the laptop.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Updated Windows 8 do not install on restored factory new facility.

  I recently factory to restore a computer, which was installed with Windows 8. I tried repeatedly, apply updates Windows 8 to be able to install Windows 8.1

  What baffles me, is how installs it fail on a computer 'brand new '. It is without anything installed after the factory restore. Whenever I try to apply the updates, I get the message "failed Windows Setup updates. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer. »

  I tried to install updates by using the boot option, ran the update problems (claims the problems have been fixed), with and without the (Norton) antivirus running, tried sfc/scannow (no problem), chkdsk /r (no problem), memory (memory tested fine) test, drivers updated, deleted the software AMD catalyst without success.

  All by performing the updates, only the mouse and software (wire, wireless not) are connected to the computer. I tried all the possible solutions I found in the forums to find a solution. I don't understand how a facility, which is supposed to be direct from the factory, can not install updates. Is it possible to apply all updates, such as service packs earlier, or install Windows 8.1 without having first apply updates?

  If it helps, it's a HP Pavilion 20, with a processor AMD E1-1200, 4 GB RAM, 64-bit Windows 8.

  The problem is the 8.1 Windows deployment by the Windows store is just buggy, leading to problems during installation and reduced performance. Also, you are using an HP printer, and therefore its probable that the original image has a lot of bloatware pre-installed which does not help. The particular system you have purchased must have also taken some time to sell because most of the systems were sold with Windows 8.1 opposed to 8 for some time.

  You are advised to clean the Windows 8.1 with 1 update installation directly, ignoring all the hassle of upgrading to Windows 8.1 via the Microsoft Store. To prepare a Windows 8.1 with 1 FAT32 USB Bootable update a UEFI BIOS and GPT partition scheme, see here:
