• Cannot restore the system image backup in Windows 7

  Hello

  Im trying to use the recovery process of Win7 system standard Image for the first time and its does not work.  I'm recovering the image on my hard C primary, internal to the system drive.  I backed up correctly a Win7 system on an external hard drive image.  To restore I connect in the Control Panel on my system (still ongoing) and select the advanced option to retrieve my disc image.  The process stops then the pc and it restarts automatically.  Then he finished "Windows loading files...". "Then I select my keyboard for data entry, click ok.   Then the process correctly detects and automatically selects my last image of backup on the external drive system.    The next step begins the problem.

  The option 'delete existing partitions to reformat the drive... '. "is grayed out and inaccessible.  The only other option is: "install the drivers for the drives, you are restoing to... could solve the problem."  Also, "insert media for the device and click OK to install the drivers." I have a new HP Pavilion Desktop with Wn7-64 bit and HP has its own recovery on C partition and there is also another unknown partition (to me) it.  I was provided the only brackets installtion / have the HP recovery disk and the recovery of Win7 boot floppies that I burned after buying oringal.  Therefore, I select the button Install Drivers with no media of installtion and I see the Windows/System32/drivers folder. I can only select one driver at a time, I tried what I thought were the pilots of C - IE disk.sys, partmgr.sys, snapman.sys and tdrpm.sys and all of them return the error msg "specific location contains no information about your hardware."  I also tried to use the two recovery discs that I burned, but they resulted in a similarly generic error message.

  Drive C is very well so I am at a huge loss as to what the standard restore process of the operationg system image is looking for and why missing drivers for drive C?  Can someone please explain what this process needs so I can restore the system image?

  Thank you, roggsf

  FYI... I was able to recover my Win7 System Image by using the external backup and the ERD of Win7.  I am now more confident that backups of the system can be invoked in the event of a disaster.

  The process was/is still a bit confusing because it faced the same problems with the possibility of "remove existing divides to reformat the drive" grayed out and inaccessible.  And the other option: "install the drivers for the drives, you are restoing to... could solve the problem" is still a mystery to me.  However, using the repair disk, I was able to bypass the need to use one of these two options, click Next, and start and finish the process of recovering successfully.

  I hope that someone will be examine and solve problems with recovery only the Panel since it is the recommended approach (to a working system).  I'm a happy computeree once more.  Thanks for the suggestion.

• I copied the folder iPhoto to my 'images' on an external drive and all photos disappeared both external drive and the iPhoto library. Do you know where they are?

  Hello! I have a big problem!

  I copied the folder "Images" that is default in my Mac on an external drive.

  Inside the 'Images' folder, there is the iPhoto folder.

  When I reopened iPhoto, all photos disappeared from the iPhoto library and the external drive. I left alone with very little, very old photos.

  Do you know where my pictures maybe? Photos in iPhoto has also lost all the flags...

  Thank you in advance for the answer...

  What software (name and version) are you using? What format is the EHD? How is it connected? What exactly did you do step by step

  Bottom line is that correctly copy a package does not remove anything so you did something wrong and we need to know exactly what you have and what you have done to help

• After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

  After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

• Deletion of images when the external drive is disconnected.

  I shared my images between the local storage and 2 TB external hard drive.  If I delete a picture when the external drive is not connected it will erase the image next time the reader is turned on?  If this isn't the case, I guess I'll have images that are not in the catalog more on external hard drive if it was not connected when I press DELETE.  Thank you. Ian.

  Hi IanLivesey

  Lightroom keeps a catalogue of your pictures stored somewhere on the network no disc. If you delete an image you can delete in the catalog or the catalog and physically. To remove an image physically physical storage must be fixed.

  If you only remove the images from the catalog, they will remain on your hard drive. You can remove these images subsequently with the tools of the operating system.

  Kind regards

• Starts the Powerbook g3 pismo of the external drive?

  Hello, all,.

  
  

  I want to start my Powerbook G3 (Pismo) running OS 9.2.2 since the restore in one disc external hard drive. (PB knows he has a drive hard internal , but the drive does not read discs in there.) The computer goes up the disc - its own restore disk - when it comes starts with Macintosh HD as a player start, but when I try to use the restore disc as commissioning, starts to drive to go up, but the door opens. Even if I hold the door closed, the computer starts low to halfway and glued in place: first, the question mark flashing, then commissioning with Macintosh HD but then freeze it.

  This happens even if I chose as the startup disk restore disk in the startup configuration panel. This means that I can't even begin to use disk utility to clean the hard drive of the computer. I did that with two other computers (reset several times), but those who had internal functioning disks. Is it possible that I can do this computer using the external drive as the boot? I read that the G3 Pismo that allows. I know I can get someone to take out the hard disk and smash, but I expect much prefer to destroy it myself. And I can understand how to remove the hard drive, but it seems to imply a boatload of maneuvers and some tools that I have, at the present time. I would not completely destroy the computer. It would be good for recyclers to be able to retrieve some parts, though they might be useful to someone.

  It is possible that I can't boot from the restore disc in the external drive, but maybe there's something that I have not yet tried. It seems crazy that the external hard drive with the restore disc appears on the desktop with a normal restart, and I can choose as boot drive but can't seem to complete commissioning. If anyone has any ideas on this subject, I would appreciate it a lot.

  Thank you.

  Jenny

  Are you trying to boot the PowerBook to an external optical drive that is connected to a USB port or your external drive connectivity FireWire?  If it is USB, that is the problem.  The reading of an optical drive connected by USB is one thing, but start since it is a different matter.  Unfortunately, your Pismo is not capable of this.

• How can I CREATE an iTunes library on the external drive of Thunderbolt

  I am creating an iTunes library for music & movies on an external hard drive LaCie d2 Thunderbolt 4 to. I copied all my movies on external hard drive, but cannot create a name of folder that iTunes will recognize that the library. I have a new mac mini OSx EL Capitan facility, there is NO file (movie or music) stored in the iTunes library on mac. I don't HAVE NO copy the old iTunes library since (OS crashed) & I want the external drive to the library. I tried several times to iTunes directly on the external drive, but it does not find the movies. (This is the file created: Volumes/LaCie/iTunes:iTunes Media), & this is the name of the folder on the LaCie external drive I am trying to get iTunes to serve library (iTunes/iTunes Media). I searched for hours to find info on this, but each article explains how to MOVE or COPY the old library (create a). I am over 50 years & not a computer guru, so please do not criticize my ignorance & please be more specific on the steps to go through as possible! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

  Launch iTunes with down option, click on create a library and drag the movie files in the Finder in the application window open iTunes or automatically add to iTunes folder.

• Window Vista Ultimate 2007 backup files empty on the external drive.

  The computer is a desktop HP running Windows Vista Ultimate 2007, 32 Bit OS, RAM 400 GB and Intel Quad CPU 2 .4GHz.

  I ran Windows Vista backup for a full backup and a backup of the file.  When I look at the external disk to verify the backup files are empty.  There are two created on the external hard drive, but both files are empty.  The program indicates that the backup routine successfully on the external drive. I have not received any error message.

  I use a Toshiba external drive with 500 + GB.  I have a lot of room.  I tried twice.  The first time I reformatted the external drive using Windows and revived the full backup only.  Once again the image file on the external drive shows 0 bytes, 0 files.

  I wonder why the backup files are not getting moved on the external drive.

  Hi BEM Consult,.

  1. are you allowing Windows to choose recommended backup or you choose "Let me pick" option on the backup configuration window?

  We recommend that you connect the external hard drive on another computer and check if the size of the backup file is in the list.

  Check if you have selected all the items in the backup settings to create a backup file. Try to create a new backup file by selecting all items on the Backup Wizard and check the result.

• Windows Vista backup on the external drive stopped working

  I have a LaCie 750 GB hard drive external (total size 698 GB) who I've been saving my drive C and D to a Dell XPS 410 using Vista Home Premium software.  He contended until the end with a backup automated on-demand for once a week.  He performed the backup 30 times since 11/09/09, but sometimes did so sometimes (shorter range) other than the weekly on-demand.  When I compare the total size with the free space on the external drive and my drives C and D, the amount of used space is respectively 131 GB, 5,11 GB and GB 665,5.  I am not very computer savvy, but if the backup program backs up only what of new each time, why used on my external drive space is so superior to what is still on my C and D drive?  I assumed that the backup software would just copy the previous backup, each time that a new backup or write on the oldest backup, but apparently is not.  So now all I get are messages saying that the backup was not successful because a file was in use or something to that effect.  I'm doing something wrong or do I have to reformat the hard drive external when it is "full" to start the backup of my computer again?

  Hello
   
  Your assumption is correct. Cross check if a new backup is created and saved in the external hard drive. If a new backup is not too write the old backup, the use of the space will be very high.
   
  Two particularly useful automatic backup features are the ability to do a scheduled backup and the ability to save your files.
  We recommend that you cross check if backup settings are intact. To do this, try the following steps.
  1. open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking the backup and restore.
  2. click on change settings.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  You get the error message, unplug the external drive and restart the computer. Connect the hard drive and check if you get the error message.
   
  I hope this helps.

• The disk check does not not on the external drive

  I am restoring a backup to an external drive, the drive seems to work very well.  However, the backup stops showing communication errors.  The software company was told to run the check disk on the external hard drive.  I click Start and nothing happens.  Device Manager indicates that the drive works properly.  It's just Check Disk does nothing.

  How do check drive working correctly?

  These are the drives on which you were trying to run chkdsk?  If so, the problem may be with the electronics in the case rather than the drive itself.  See, for example, http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1979433/open-lacie-porsche-design-9230-case.html

  So really, they both failed completely at the same time, it's unfortunate and unusual (unless there was some common external factor).

  Although hdtune is a good utility, it might still be useful to check with Seatools (LaCie was bought by Seagate several years ago) - unless the drive makes strange noises when it is turned on. in this case, more you do, the data you will lose.

  Depending on the amount of data is worth to you, it has undertaken is specialized in recovering data on damaged disks.  This service is not cheap.  DriveSaversis probably the most well-known, but there are many others, including one that says it specializes in hard drives LaCie.  Many will give you a free estimate of the costs to retrieve data.  I have no personal experience with any of these companies and none of them can recommend at the expense of others.

• Files copy automatically to the external drive to the basket.

  Hello

  Q.1

  Whenever I'm copy/move files from my computer to a disc external hard or vice versa, I often had the message prompt "are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?  The XYZ file has properties that cannot be copied to the new location.  YES/SKIP/CANCEL.

  Please advice why I got this message and what it means.

  Q.2

  Very that often, when I left and I deleted my external thumbdrive or a portable hard drive to my computer, I noticed that the trash on my desk was filled with a lot of files/folders that I have recognized that they were things of mine, but I did not understand how they appeared in the trash at the time when I did not remove my external hard drives before I left my computer.

  Then, when I plugged my external hard drives to check if these files/folders had been accidentally deleted quickly, I found that they were still there.

  This kind of incident occurred in Windows XP-based computers and Windows 7.

  Please indicate why/how this could happen.

  BTW, I couldn't find a correct classification for my two above questions in your Inbox "subject and Windows applications.  Therefore, I selected no matter how one.

  Thank you

• Use LR5. Because of volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. When opening LR5 it references only the local hard disk. How can I change the refernce to read the external drive. Thank you

  Use LR5, due to volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. LR refers only the Local Drive C not outside. Where do I change this by LR read the external drive. Grateful for the help.

  Thank you

  LR is not a file Explorer. He knows only the disks that you imported photos of.

  If you have previously imported these photos, then later moved into the external hard drive, go to the library files and "update location" Panel on the files that you moved.

  If you have never imported these images on the external hard drive, perform an import by using the option 'Add' (not ' copy') to keep the images on the external hard drive during import.
