Backup Vista Home Basic

• Questions backup Vista Home Basic

  1. I have read that this version of Windows is not back up the operating system and applications. However, when I did the initial backup of the c. drive yesterday, the possibility to do exactly that was "disabled" by default. In addition, the resulting backup used roughly 28 GB and I have only 18 GB of personal files. If this 28-GB figure does not include the operating system and applications, which explains its size?

  2 are compressed backups? I am inclined to think, there are 68 GB on the C drive, the backup file is 28 GB and backup took 2 hours, but I want to be sure.

  3. utility backup of home Basic does not include a planning capability. Task Scheduler can launch an application as a backup on a schedule, but it will not actually run the application. Y at - it a solution (for example, a script) that will allow me to perform backups automatically? Failure to do so can anyone recommend a 3 rd-party solution?

• Online backup service for my Vista Home Basic

  I tried to do a full backup of my Vista Home Basic OS. By following the instructions on the Web help and Support site, I used a total of 12 CD to do a full backup.  It took a such incredible amount of time and money and I still don't know what the correct procedure. I've seen many services online that offer to do the same thing for a minimal amount. And the files would be available at any time and any PC. I don't know what to do. Pay your bills online. I downloaded a lot of music and family photos. Can someone please advise me on how best to safeguard my information simply and safely? I don't mind paying the monthly or annual fees as long as it is considered to be safe.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  Sincerely,

  Linda

  Hello

  The best value for money option is to save a number of different external hard drives and store them off-site (perhaps in different places).

  Each online backup provider has different rates depending on how you want to store and their prices change over time. To learn more, you may need to search online using your favorite search engine.

• Backup "to a network' grayed out for Windows Vista Home Basic Edition

  Dear Forum:

  Vista Home Basic SP - 2, Win XP Pro Service Pack 3 (signed on as "Administrator" on both machines)

  I'm trying to back up data residing on Vista Home Basic machine on a shared drive on Win XP Pro machine on an ethernet network.  When I run backup and restore Vista HB machine, backup "to a network' option remains greyed out.

  From now on, I can read and write in the public records of the Vista machine from the Win XP Pro machine and I can read and write to disk shared Win XP Pro machine from Vista HB machine.

  I apologize if the question has been discussed previously.  I appreciate all help to address this issue.

  -Kevin N

  I'm sorry, but Windows Vista Basic cannot save to a network location.  It can only back up to a local disk.

  Backup to a network location requires a more advanced version of Windows Vista.

• where can I get a winows vista home basic startup disk? And can I use a back up from another pc which is vista Home premium?

  be necessary to restart the laptop with Vista Home Basic, but do not have a backup, can make a backup of my desktop vista Home premium if it will work?

  Hello

  You cannot use a backup from a Home Premium computer to reinstall Vista Basic on another computer.

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Can I switch to Win 7 SP1 of Vista Home Basic (without Service Pack)?

  Hello, currently I run Vista home basic 32-bit without the service Pack installed. I did once try and install but I got was a never-ending startup sequence (the BONES do not start) and I had to restore a backup copy of previous Vista before installing SP1. So it's just a quick question: can I go directly to Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1 without having all the service packs currently? I don't have a lot of free time to do a clean install and restore programs and games, and configure them.

  Microsoft recommends that you have at least Service Pack 1 installed.

  You can try to install without MS, if you wish.

  And if you have a problem, follow this information.

  Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

  Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, first of all the installation of SP1.

  Vista SP1 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=30

  Vista SP1 64-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21299

• downgrade from windows 7 to vista home basic. Oh hp laptop

  I bought the computer hp laptop dv5 recently the config. is 3 GB of ram, 250 GB HDD, processor turion, ati radeon HD3450 & card mother amd. I have the query that, initially, the operating system installed on my machine was vista home basic 32-bit. then after I've updated in windows 7 RC1 now I want to downgrade in Vista Home Basic Edition again. can u tell me the ways on how to do with this thing. my need is I want a downgrade frm 7 to vista home basic and I don't want to do a clean install of Vista Home Basic, because I have my entire data on drive c. ND it's hard for me to backup large amounts of data. I have also 2 discs of recovery came with my laptop. In addition to this, please tell me if I can move from 32-bit vista to 64-bit according to the config. given above.

  You must do a clean install to Windows Vista Home Basic to Windows 7.

  External hard drives are a good way to back up large volumes of data

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

  Vista 32-bit to 64-bit Vista is NOT an upgrade path.

  You will need to BUY a FULL 64 bit Vista operating system version and do a CLEAN install of it.

  Ask the manufacturer of your computer are them, 64-bit versions of Vista support in your model of laptop.

  Ask them how to use your recovery/s drive.

  Each manufacturer has their own way of doing a recovery back to factory settings.

  Normally, you start from the disc and follow the instructions to perform a recovery.

• Crashes in Windows vista home basic...

  Hello

  I bought the laptop Compaq-A900-pressario with OS Vista-Home-Basic. Due to some
  problems I formatted and reinstalled the OS from the backup CD. Now, he
  crashes every time I'm playing a video online, or perform updates online.

  the CPU usage is too high.
  The fan speed also with a lot of noise, etc.
  The laptop would become too hot in the areas of the keyboard.
  and he subsequently crashes.

  after him, the laptop does not get a few minutes as long as the keyboard area is still hot. After 30 minutes or more when the laptop gets cold, then it gets turned on and load the operating system.

  Everything started after I have format the laptop. earlier, it was working fine without any problems.

  Pls tell me what to do.

  Concerning
  Gopal

  Hello

  Since he used to work the question could be of Service Packs or drivers required.

  Did you apply SP1 and SP2?

  Center of Microsoft Service Pack
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/service-packs

  ========================

  Check with Compaq Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask the HP? Compaq
  Forums for known issues. Be sure to see if you have the latest drivers.

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - graphics card - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on set to update driver
  (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with
  their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), then the manufacturer of the device
  site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and)
  software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AS ADMIN - reset after each
  installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up.
  This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so
  install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and try again if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check manually
  by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
  questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
  manually if you wish.

• Windows complete PC Restore on Vista Home Basic, how to create a system disk image

  In the menu system for Vista Home Basic Recovery Options, there is an option to make a "Windows complete PC Restore". The description of this option says "restore your entire server or personal computer from a backup image. Well, sounds wonderful. My problem is to find the software to create a backup image of my personal computer first. I tried to create an image of my system disk by looking at the "Backup and restore" software that comes with Vista Home Basic. I couldn't find something that was talking about creating an "image" of my system drive. Only the options to back up the disks. Microsoft use the terms 'backup' and 'image' fairly loosely or as interchangeable terms? Im a little confused. My ultimate goal is to create a disk image of my system can be restored very quickly in the menu options of Vista Home Basic System Recovery. System configuration: Winndows 7 RTM, Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L motherboard, Intel Pentium Dual - Core E6300 Wolfdale 2.8 GHz, 4 GB of memory PC-1066 DDR2 Patriot Viper, 500 GB Western Digital hard drive, GeForce 8800GT Videocard

  I guess I'll answer my own question. It seems that Vista Home Basics to create an image of the system has been paralyzed. OK, so I'll look using free Microsoft imagex utility then.

  Hey birch_2526

  There is no link of free and legal link for you to download vista basic to reinstall

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of vista recovery disc

  they do it for a nominal cost

  and also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to reinstall vista basic to how you bought your computer

  that will save you money if you don't have a recovery partition

• A POP-UP MESSAGE WARNING EXPIRATION OF WINDOWS VISTA HOME BASIC EDITION

  I have a laptop Compaq Presario V 3000, purchased by me on May 28, 2008 in Bangalore, India (Reliance digital) and delivered to me preloaded with Windows Vista Home Basic with a label number key to the laptop. (The 20 product ID numbers is also known).

  It worked OK all along.

  (For the PAST 3 DAYS, I get the following pop-up message when I boot on):

  THIS FIRST VERSION OF WINDOWS HOME BASIC WILL EXPIRE IN SEVEN DAYS. BACK UP YOUR FILES AND THEN INSTALL no matter WHAT EDITION OF WINDOWS (message on today morning: March 24, 2010).

  I'm confused by this warning that I have a lot of data stored in my laptop (with HDD of 160 GB and 2 GB of RAM).

  I'll be very grateful to expert MS Forum for helping me solve this problem of EMERGENCY, as I am only left with more than seven days!

  Thanking you,

  You should backup your data NOW by purchasing an external hard drive and copy your data files on it. Then, I would give the store where you bought it a call. If they do not, call the HP technical support immediately. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
