Can I save a System Image, most anywhere and put it on a clean partition?

It looks like a System Image could solve a lot of problems for me. If I could take a snapshot or even two snapshots and then save it on an external hard drive. I could just delete all partitions and volumes, creating partitions and new volumes and then plug an external hard drive? Maybe I'd never have to look any further except for snapshots, I have taken, with regard to the recovery of my system?

I'm looking beyond all the countless problems that can occur at startup.

Yours truly,

Hello

I have always used a 3rd party for this program... windows has not always had this ability and I have never tried.

I prefer to do it with a bootable CD... In this way, you're not trying to make an Image while windows is running. I am currently using Acronis image for this and have no complaints.

In a number of ways, it's better than anything else, I tried...

You even don't need to put it on a clean partition. Acronis will overwrite the old...

You are right in the idea that a picture can save a lot of grief, if something is wrong with windows. You can Image individual partitions or the whole disc.

I'm doing a new image every time I do something a lot of time that I don't want to not have to redo. I start with a new image, make the update and do another image...

Acronis compresses the image so it takes much less space than you think. I have a 120 GB SSD that is half full, and the image covers about 22 GB... A 4 TB drive would be also around 22 GB for example, if she had the same 60 GB of used space.

I currently have a folder with 22 pictures which takes up 350GB

PS... If you decide to do with any method... your life will be MUCH easier if you keep all your data on a separate drive, or at least on a separate partition. If you have only a small amount of data files, then it is not a problem

  • I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive?

    I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive? The old drive is much too small.

    I'm not familiar with your model computer, but there are several ways to do so.  If the computer can accommodate multiple disks, you can install the new drive next to the former.  If she does not accept another disk, you can in these external adapters for about $30, which allow you to attach a bare drive to a computer with USB.  Then, you clone the internal drive to the new. Cloning is a special form of the copy.  It copies all files including startup system files so that your new drive is essentially identical to the first.

  • Can someone tell me if you can return save CS6 of Illustrator CS5, Indesign, and Photoshop OK?

    Can someone tell me if you can return save CS6 of Illustrator CS5, Indesign, and Photoshop OK? Upgrade to CS6, but must I must always be compatible with work. They use CS5.

    Hello

    The return of the files is not necessary for all the file as a JPG, PSD, HTML etc extension here is the universal file format

    However, if you speak the native file as Indesign INDD format, and HAVE Illustrator so yes you can save the backup for CS5 CS6 file, the procedure can vary.

    InDesign:-save the IDML file and the IDMl file is compatible with Indesign CS4

    Illustrator;-fichier--> record, in the "Save as" dialog box choose the version to which you want to downgrade.

    So, it depends more on the file format

  • Can I save the Organizer, move my photos and always access to post-secondary studies?

    I backed up my catalog to an external hard drive last night and there were about 20 disconnected files.  I wasn't able to locate so I allowed the back upward to continue without them.  Do you know what are the consequences for that?

    In addition, many of my pictures are on my C drive, and several are on the external hard drive.  My catalogue included photos of these two places. When I move the rest of my photos from the C drive of my computer to the external hard drive, the catalogue will always be able to access or will I have to backup everything again?

    My goal is to free up space on my computer, so PSE will stop freezing.  I am interested in fact at this moment can enter all my photos in the organizer and labeled.  I'll change them later I have started creating digital scrapbook pages.

    Can someone tell me if how I go about this is correct?

    Thank you

    Thanks Ken.  I have supported all my external hard drive, but now I think I rather just move everything there and reminds me of my photos of the HD post to free up space on my C drive.  Is this possible?

    No, because if you bought a new iPhone, then you need a SIM card to activate it before you can use the wifi applications.

    This is a phone after all, you don't need a sim card any to be able to activate it.

  • Can no longer make system image after Win 8.1 upgrade (error 0 x 80780119)

    I have recently upgraded to 8.1 and is now trying to make the image of the system.
    Unfortunately, it fails with the 80780119 error.

    I had happen before on another computer system and recovery partition resizing seems remedy and is what is suggested on the web.

    You will notice that none of the scores of recovery seem to have any space used.

    Hello

    > I hope I don't have to add Toshiba to my do not buy list.
    Is not a friend of the option. Why? Because it seems that it is a common problem of Windows as a lot of people have called for a solution in the Microsoft forums and community.

    [Backup fails error code 0 x 81000019 | http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/25deba76-464b-4a9d-9b32-a283bb6a88ce/windows-7-rc-backup-fails-errorcode-0x81000019?forum=w7itproperf]

    Someone solved this problem by clearing the check box of the image create driver available when you choose the backup content.

    But it looks like his mistake when hidden system reserved partition created by Windows system does not have enough space to store a cliché.
    Please check the freespace on this volume.

    Follow the following steps:
    1. start-> computer-> right click--> Manage
    2. Select storage-> disk management.
    3. check that you have a partition system reserved about 100 MB in size or more
    4. If so, right-click on the volume and select Properties.
    5 view the used and free space.

    Backup Windows requires around 40 MB of free space on that partition to save successfully.
    So if the free space is less than 40 GB, backup is not getting enough free space.
    To work around the problem, try the following:

    Since reserved by default system partition cannot be extended, creating a new system volume is the workaround. Here are the steps to move the system volume to any other volume:

    1. choose where you want to have your system volume.
    A few things you should keep in mind:
    a. system volume cannot be created on a primary partition to MBR disk.
    b. If the volume system & boot volume are assembled, then BitLocker feature can be used to encrypt the volumes on your machine.

    2 propose the creation of a new volume (say f) on the same disk that contains the size of about 490 MB boot partition (make sure to keep less than 500 MB).

    3. assuming that Windows is installed on C: on your machine. From an elevated command prompt run: bcdboot.exe C:\Windows /s F:/s.

    4 from high command prompt run: DISKPART

    5. starting at the disk part command prompt:
    DISKPART > select volume F
    DISKPART > active

    Now you can restart your machine and F: becomes the system volume.
    You can cancel it by repeating the same steps using the original system volume (you must assign drive letter) to return to your previous configuration.

  • How can I create a system image on my USB key?

    I just bought an asus ux31a screen touch new with windows 8.  I want to create a backup so if my hard drive fried or my windows 8 is totally messed up, I can restore everything.

    I don't have a cd drive on my ultrabook.

    So, I assumed that what I had to do was to create a system image on a flash drive, I stuck in one of my usb ports.  I chose my "disk removable disk D:" which is my 16 GB flash drive (seems only 14.93 GB is however useable).  He first told me that my drive needs to be formatted in NTFS.  So I did it.  Now it is said that it is not "a valid backup location.

    What I am doing wrong? Thank you.

  • I can't "save under" all of a sudden and I need this option works in my work.

    I can't save my PDF files "save under" all of a sudden - please advise.

    Since this is a secure document, the button "save under" is probably gray because of the security settings. To see what is limited, look at the "Document Summary of Restrictions" box on the Security tab.  A password to limit the actions of a user can do with the PDF (between opening the file to make changes to the file and therefore, no "save under"). These parameters should be actively requested by a person, more generally the author, but anyone who has unlimited access to a file can apply security settings.
