Can I restore my hard drive of a copy of disk image?
I'm trying to restore a MacBook (Yosemite) 2008 following an irreparable error in the car and I have a full disk image that I took using utility disk in recovery mode until I wiped it off. (Apparently, yes Carbon Copy Cloner did a better job, but I didn't have that.) Is there a way to use it to recover from, or can I only use it to manually copy files on?
(I also have a Time Machine backup, or at least I think I do, but I am currently faced with a challenge of system administrator password , so I was wondering if there is an easier alternative since the Macintosh HD.dmg is right there on my external hard drive).
If you have TM I would use apples as described here:

I can restore a hard drive as a new
is it possible to restored a disc hard as if it was out of the box (I read that you can install an os over a lifetime of hard drive)
Hey Danny,
What you read was not quite correct (and completely wrong if he says what you say it says).
Assuming you have always the correct drivers and software product keys (if any), I can't imagine a situation where you cannot restore a HARD drive as if it was out of the box (except possibly need to use your product key personal rather than used by the manufacturer, when they made initial installation If you use an installation disk of geniune they provided {with a separate special disc drivers and additional software} rather than special discs supplied by the manufacturer to restore the conditions in factory or these disks you created a restore on the computer partition, or by using the restore partition directly where your unique product key is often but not always is usually not necessary).
Considers Moreover, under the rules that you've read them, the computer could ever be updated to a new Service Pack, and even less from XP to Vista to W7 to W8 - or other (with restrictions based on how it's done, legally, regarding the upgrade paths and assuming that there is the appropriate drivers for the HARD disk under the new operating system). It could not be changed from Windows to Linux. Could not be partitioned to dual boot or startup sort even in different operating systems (which would make this feature a little stupid to have if the HARD drive could have only a single OS on it).
And to go even further, if it really says what you wrote, you wouldn't even be able to re - install the OS at all since the resettlement would be more than one installation on the HARD drive so if your software system crashed or it became necessary to re - install the system, you will need to buy a new HARD drive to do and this is simply not the case.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Where could I find, live disc or other to restore the HARD drive recovery partition?
Hello I have an A300 system 9 1M unit.
I need to restore the HARD drive recovery partition, I had to change the hard disk drive, because he's dead.
Is there a link where I could download the files? IMG to ISO or any other program that can create a new partition for recovery on a new drive?
This computer is not under warranty, because it has more than 4 years.
Thank you for all the support you could give me

I have restored my hard drive for time machine
I have restored my hard drive of the machine after a malware infection, and now at startup, Finder opens the folder of DVD player. This does not seem to interfere with the normal operation of my computer, but I'm curious to know if anyone has had this happen. I use El Capitan 10.11.4 here's the finder window that opens at startup:
You tried to delete the malware before you restore your system? It is always better to do this first. In addition, the backup that you used to restore your system before the malware infection has been took place?
Edit: Go to system-> general Preferences. Make sure that 'Close the windows when you exit an application' is checked.

You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?
I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.
You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.

Pavilion P6235uk: can I install second hard drive on PC?
Hello. I was wondering if I can install a second hard drive on my PC.
The present Sata hard drive has a capacity of 640 GB.
If there is a port to spare for a second hard drive, is there a maximum useful?
And everything would make SATA 3.5 '' hard disk fit? I would be grateful for any advice.
Thank you

Can I install second HARD drive in the Satellite A200-AH7
I wonder if I can install the second hard drive in my laptop and if I can do this what equipment should I.
Laptop computer has two covers of hard disk and manual is not clear on this subject.
He said: some models.Thanks for the info
You can't find the answer very easily.
Remove the second HDD Bay cover and check if there are a few HARD drive connectors/pins.
If Yes, then you could install a second HDD.
If not, you can not use second HARD drive.Good bye

Pavilion x 2 10-n100na: can I add a hard drive from a HP Pavilion x 2 10-n100na?
Can I add a hard drive to a Pavilion x 2 10-n100na? I noticed that some models in this range, for example. the Pavilion x 2 10-n107na, have a 1 TB drive. These 2 machines appear identical on the outside, so I was wondering if the 10 - 100na has all the required internal connections such as I could slot in my own hard drive.
All answers gratefully received. Thank you.
I noticed that the manual indicates that it is for some models only, but unfortunately there is not any information about who they are.
I have to disagree with you and say no.
You cannot add a disk hard unless your x 2 is one of the special types.
In the manual, you'll notice that even the keyboard, the coverage and the closing of the bottom are different. Take a very close look at this manual.
