Cannot restore Windows 7 from backup image

• Windows complete PC Backup Image - impossible to restore the backup on my laptop after the restoration of the C drive.

  My user profile is not loaded correctly, and so Sony told me to do a restore of the C drive which took my drive C back to factory settings and lost all my programs and files.  I tried since then to restore the Windows Image backup I did on my external hard drive.

  I open backup and Restore Center, click Advanced Restore, click Advanced Restore again.  The box application to what you want to restore?  The only option is to files from a backup made on a different computer.  I click Next, and he said: select the location of the backup to restore.  Hard drive, cd or dvd option has already found new Volume (e), which is my external hard drive.

  I click Next again, and he says, select dates to restore from.  The only option in the box is dated 2008-01-12 14:14:34 backup location is not available.  My external hard drive has multiple backups on it, including the Windows Backup Image (which was the first backup, I did and it contains 152 GB), and so I do not understand this.

  I continue, and then click Next.  It now says select files and folders to be restored, but there is nothing in the box.  I have check the restore everything in this backup box and click Next.  I save the files restored to the following location - check and navigate to the C drive.  I also check both boxes: restore files to their original subfolders and create a subfolder for the drive letter.  I click on begin to restore, and then he said:

  Restoration was unsuccessful.  Error: the parameter is incorrect. (0 x 80070057)

  I'm desperate to be able to get my programs and files back on my laptop.  I don't understand why the restore function can not see my Windows Backup Image, and why this is so difficult.  I've read other complaints by users about this, but cannot find a solution.

  I look forward to hear from you.

  Thank you.

  Hi HGHFaith,

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  Step 1 : Clean boot the computer and then try to restore

   

  Follow step 1 in the link below,

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

  Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

  If the problem persists,

  Step 2: Run Check disk to repair bad sectors on the hard drive.

  a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  b. type E: (external drive) and press enter

  c. at the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.

  Now, type chkdsk/r

   Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  Check whether the problem is resolved

• restore from backup image

  I have an Acer Aspire E1-571-6856, Windows 7 64 - bit, 4 GB RAM, 2.6 ghz core i5, 4000 hd graphics card

  I have created a backup of the image using Acer Backup Manager.

  There is no option to restore from Acer although backup recovery image.

  How can I restore backup images?

  I don't think that you can load your restore with Acer erecovery media point, since normally is used to re - install from scratch the BONE.

  You must create your own media recovery with the same software that you created in the backup image, which will no doubt help to load the backup image.

• Cannot create Windows 8.1 System Image - fails with backup of the EFI

  I have problems trying to create an Image of my Surface Pro system.

  The program seems to work but then sends a message:

  The backup failed.

  It has been a failure in the preparation of the backup image of any of the volumes in the backup set. (0x807800C5)

  Additional information:

  The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file. (0 x 80070021)

  The volume on which it backup fails is the first volume - the EFI system partition.

  The backup is set to save on my Dlink NAS, that works very well for my history file backups.

  I thought that somehow my anti-virus software may be to blame, but I'm not under any third-party anti-virus software.

  I also thought that if I started mode safe mode with networking that could avoid the problem, but the backup is not allowed to run in Mode without failure.

  Can someone point me in the right direction?

  Thank you

  Alan

  P.S. I think that I misunderstood the problem: If again, trying to backup, but instead using my SIN I plug a drive in the USB, then my backup work normally (and I can then copy / move the backup on the NAS server).  Looks like this might be a D-link problem maybe: D-link box is a DNS-320 ShareCenter.

  P.P.S.  Although the DNS-320 was purchased from a major last week retailer, the firmware was version 1.0 and 2 years.  Updated to v 1.01 seems to have solved the problem: at least for a PC.

  Hi Alan,

  As you said that the problem does not occur when you use a USB drive, the problem might be related to
  connection problems with NAS.

  I suggest you send the request in the Technet forum. Technical expertise to solve these problems is available in this forum.

• Win 7 - cannot restore some files from a successful backup

  I recently bought a new laptop with Win7.

  I managed to restore all my important files to a backup of my old computer which was under Vista.

  When you try to restore my emails from the old vista computer, although I can see the files in the backup file real (using the tool of restoration provided by Win 7), after the execution of restoration, it is said that the restoration was successful, but the records seem to be empty and that's why I can't download my old emails to my new computer that represents a major problem for me.

  I noticed that, well I can see the folder Windows Mail in the file backup using the restore backup Win 7 laaredj, the folder that corresponds to Windows Mail seems to be on a color much clearer than the other files, however, if I double click on it, I can navigate and see its contents, but nothing is restored.

  Can anyone help? I would certainly appreciate any ideas, I tried to recover individual files, the entire file, one together records, tried to use different locations for the restored files but nothing seems to work. All other files in the same backup have been restored without problem.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Check if by chance the folder you are trying to restore is hidden (as you say that the folder is located in a color lighter than other folders).

  To verify the folder property

  (a) right click on the folder

  (b) select checking properties of the attributes.

  Try to restore the folder on another computer and check if it is successful.

  Hope this information is useful.

• System Image recovery, restore the system from an image will include my program inside?

  I have a windows backup Image of the 17/11/2015 which I wan to restore my Windows 7 computer.

  I load a trial version of media compose and he knocked my version of media dial 5.

  I have more disks to it.  A restore of the system from an image will include my program inside?

  And it will not restore, he said that the system cannot find the specified file.

  What can I do to get it to restore the computer?

  Instead of a "Image Restore" I recommend you to do a "System Restore" to set up Windows back a week or two. You can start the process with rstrui.exe.

  In rare cases, an update may fail completely replace the old files of version with the new version of the files in the program folder. This can lead to a range of inexplicable failure. Another explanation is available, could you answer that using:

  Clean reinstall it

  We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

  (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 39.0 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

  (3) to rename the program folder, either:

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
  

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
  

  (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  No improvement after this reinstall?

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \OldFirefox\Plugins
  • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

• updated to windows 10 Enterprise edition but now cannot restore windows 8.1

  updated for windows enterprise edition 10 but now can't roll back to windows 8.1 pre installed in my laptop but now neither the windows 10 is enabled nor have the convenince to roll back to 8.1.

  do I have to re install from scratch to go to 8.1?

  spidy_001

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  Enterprise is a completely different animal than other Win10 versions and is NOT intended for personal use, but on the contrary, for commercial use - in situations where the operating system is installed and maintained by the it Department staff.

  So, it doesn't have the convenience of restore consumer versions.

  And Yes, since you didn't have (apparently) the foresight to make an image backup before installation of Win10, the ONLY way to return now is to do a factory reinstall using HP recovery media - and which erases the ENTIRE disc.

  Since you have not bothered to inform any PC, you need to check yourself if HP makes these available recovery media.

  It is a set of DVD and a CD or a USB key, which will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs. You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.
  
  You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers
  
  Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update". If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entry and click on order to press for more details.
  
  Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:
  
  If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
  
  If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
  
  NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!
  
  If HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  Good luck

• Cannot restore the files from hard drive damaged in disk utility

  Questions

  1. can I save my files/fix this problem without having to restore via disk utility?

  2. What am I doing wrong / I can do to restore correctly on an external hard drive via disk utility?

  Background

  Last week when I turned my MacBook Pro 2012 I got stuck on the gray login screen. The progress bar moves very, very slowly and when he finished my laptop spontaneously restarted and repeated the same thing over and over again. Here's what I tried to do so far:

  -Start in SafeMode: does not work

  -Extended Apple Diagnostics/Apple Hardware Test: test results: no problem found

  -Utility (recovery and valorisation of the Internet) disk: disk hard Mac (Apple HDD) and Recovery (partition) HD are not damaged, but the partition disk0s2 is (created after a failure; a year not logged - if it matters) and in 'check' and 'fix' the latter I get inconsistent error messages.

  Disk utility error messages

  Most often, I get this error:

  The volume disk0s2 was found damaged and must be repaired. Error: This disc needs to be repaired. Click on the ERD.

  Stopped disk utility check "disk0s2."

  Disk0s2 volume could not be repaired after 3 attempts.

  Error: Disk utility can't repair the disk. Save as many files as possible, reformat the drive and restore your files packed around the top.

  I also received this error message once:

  Wrong number of extended attributes (it should be 730585 instead of 730589)

  Wrong number of access control lists (there are 1364 instead of 1368)

  Save the files to external hard drive?

  Before that I didn't even used/accessed Time Machine.  I have a new HDD external, formatted for Mac. I created two partitions: backup and Time Machine (so I can start using it once I have find this current issue). When I try to restore disk0s2 external hard disk I get an error restore failed (252 or 254, I think).

  When you drive is damaged, it is extremely difficult to make progress.

  I recommend the lessee a spare drive in an external enclosure and install MacOS on it again. Then boot from that and you are back in business. You can use the full power of Mac OS AND additional utilities to recover your files.

  More 350 000 files on your damaged disc are Mac OS - and those that can be installed in replicas of prefect by a new installation on a new drive. You can't Brute force 'all' copy of a damaged disc. What you want back damaged drive is not Mac OS X files - you want YOUR files. They are stored in the Directory/users in a folder with your short user name. with additional utilities, you can simply copy this directory, or use a recovery as data rescue program to get individual files.

• Windows 8.1 backup image

  Create an image backup of my upgrade by using the +-allcritical + WBADMIN START BACKUP parameter generates a low-memory error code (+ 0x8004231f +).
  This command works without the subcommand of the system state.

  Is the small partition system EFI does not having enough free space, and if so is it a round work?

  Windows disk management, there is no option to extend the partition of 260 MB.

  In my opinion this problem is not related to the laptop but the system.
  Then, probably, you should take a look in Microsoft Support community to get more details, information on possible solutions.

  Thanks for the reply

  If the two computers are the same model and the two have a sticker Windows 7 Home Basic COST on the side, then there is no reason you couldn't use your recovery on his computer disks. Computers use the Windows product key on the sticker, instead, they use a massive 0EM activation key and OEM certificate. Make him burn HP Recovery Disc set staff after that his computer is retrieved.
