Backup Windows XP to create the complete image of the system?

Original title: Windows Xp backup for the new update to reader.

I want to get a new larger internal hard drive.  However the idea of trying to reinstall all my programs and settings have discouraged me it doing so. My Mac is great in that it allows me to back up my entire system with time machine on an external hard drive, and I can put it all right even if I accidentally erase my whole machine.

Window xp Backup Wizard can do the same?

Under the Backup Wizard tool, it seems to be a selection that says that "all information on this computer.  So once I have replaced my old internal drive with the new and improved, can simply paste in my external drive in the USB port and reinstall everything as it is?  is this possible?

I realized with the technical stuff you just can't assume anything and that things go wrong or you need something more...

Hi Yes,

This isn't the functionality of Windows XP. However, you can find this feature in Windows 7.
Win 7 backup and restore: complete Image of the system expects a full recovery of the system easier if there is a hard drive or a computer failure.

    I'm unable to located my Windows CD to reimage the system vista. Where I can I down load Windows Vista Home Basic?

    Hello

    There is no free and legal Vista download

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Error: "no physical memory is available to the location required for the windows boot manager." The system cannot continue. "

    I have a stable system that works with a processor E6300, card mother evga 680i, graphics card 8800gts and 8gbs of RAM running on ulitmate windows 7 (32 bits - I decided to re - install with 64-bit to use the extra 4 GB of RAM, after I deal with the question below).

    I recently tried to add an adapter of Intel RS2WC080 SAS/SATA controller in a PCI express slots on the card mother 680i. I know that the card works (such as "it works very well in another motherboard), but for some reason when I put it in the 680i mobo I get the following message appears when I try to start windows. (i.e. the raid controller has no windows on the disks. I always use original hard drive always connected on the same Sata port on the motherboard)

    "No physical memory is available to the location required for the windows boot manager." The system cannot continue. "

    I tried to turn off virtually everything I could in the bios of the motherboard as an experience (including the things I needed). I also disabled the Intel RS2WC080 card bios.

    I'm puzzled. So what I want to know is simply a hardware compatibility problem, or is there some kind of workaround I can run in windows 7. For example, is there maybe some sort of way for her to start using a different memory location than its currently using? (Or is it something error message related to the memory of the bios that can only be overcome with software?)

    Thanks for any help.

    I tried to disable everything in the bios... including the things I needed. No luck

    Thank you very much for the reply Chris but I don't have abandoned bascially. Right now I guess the card and the 680i have some kind of incompatibility and I will just get a different mobo.

  • Failed to create the system cd disk image backup

    Original title: difference between auomatic backups & do your own backups?

    Hi you all,.

    I'm a bit confused about backups, I just got my new mohterboard HPp6320y/win7/improved / 2.7Gz cpu, 64-bit, 8 G - ram. HP offers to immediately burn a recovery-re-boot disk, which I did. Then they strongly suggest to copy a restore disc fictitious system using an external hardrive or external storage such as cd - rw disks, I don't understand if I can burn a shadow of system using my existing internal drive or some other form of storage like USB drives provided that they have sufficient capacity.
    So far, so good, but when I first tried to burn a shadow/system using my existing built in internal disk drive, the only choice in the context menu after clicking "burn the backup of the system" was my internal hardrvie. He did not get a disk, so I dropped back until I could understand if I was doing something wrong and fix it
    I know that my automatic HP backup restore points are made on a regular basis with or without me having to ask, once partition it the space reserved for different backups with full capacity, my system removes the oldest to give room for the new, correct?
    I also know that the purpose of having a shadow system is if your hard drive goes wrong, you can restore your entire OS & the personal data to a new disk, so store in a partition of your works currently hardrive would make no sense if it goes wrong, correct?
    Then why, my system will not burn a shadow on a freshly unpacked well-known R/W disk? (I have 10 of them I bought still packed)
    Do I need to use a drive external remote disc?
    Also, I have a factory built-in removable Pocket media player provided out of my older HPa610n and it holds 160Gs, I have the appropriate connection and it appears therefore as a storage device when I turn on my new current HP. However, when I click Backup a shadow system, it shows that my cd player internal existing as an option where I'm supposed to store my shadow of system. Yet they claim that I can use a USB device, provided that it can contain enough storage, I am really confused and feel a migraine coming!

  • Satellite A-P50-12PNL - after Win8.1 upgrade cannot create the system image

    After updating my laptop Satellite P50-A-12PNL to Windows 8.1 I can't create an image system (copy). The message:

    +"There is not enough disk space to create the volume shadow copy on the storage location. Ensure that, for the volume to be backup upward, the minimum disk space required for the creation of shadow copies is available. This applies to the backup destination and volume included in the backup. Minimum for Volumes less than 500 MB, the minimum is 50 MB of free space. for voulimes more than 500 MB, the minimum is 320 megabytes of free space. Recommended at least 1 GB of free disk space on each volume if the volume size is larger than 1 GB (0 x 80780119) ' + '.

    I think the problem is the Windows for the systemrecovery reserved surrounding.
    This seems to be too full. 350 MB 349,94 is in use.

    Usually you could solve this problem by extending the partition on the volume where the shadow is being created.

  • Addition of Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Home Edition creates the system failure

    We have an older Compaq Presario that came with Windows XP Home Edition. [a Pentium 1 2005]
    I try to install Windows Live Onecare (free Qwest).  When I update our Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3, when I reboot I get a black screen that says that there is an error with a recent change of hardware or drivers. So I boot safe mode.
    There has been no hardware changes.
    I did a destructive restore by using the Compaq recovery disk which is supposed to wipe the drive and reinstall everything.
    I can update Windows XP with service pack 3 and everything works.  When I install Windows Live Onecare, at the next restart I get the same black screen and need to start in safe mode.
    I can do a destructive restore and load Windows Live Onecare and work without any problem as long as I do not install Service Pack 3.
    I tried to make recovery of Windows with the same results.  I can do a restore before any point where I do not have the Windows Live Onecare and the Service Pack 3 and everything works fine.

    So I guess that there is a conflict between Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Windows Live Onecare on this computer.  I have both works well on other computers in our home network, but they are Pentium III or higher.

    Anyone know if there is a difficulty, or just simply never through my XP Home SR3?
