• I want to create a restore disk system on another HDD without having to back up the entire computer?

  I have Windows XP Professional, and I do a back up of all the windows files that I need to run windows (I hope) on a second hard drive. I want to create a file recovery from windows on this drive, but when I go in the options backup, I have to pick up the entire computer in order to get this recovery file created. But I don't want to back up all my personal files and programs because that would take in charge the secondary hard drive together.  How to create this recovery file without saving the entire hard drive? Thank you.

  If you do any type of backup - only circuit, dat, or all - on a second internal bank or a second partition, you are just kidding yourself. It is the lowest form of backup doesn't exist, and is barely better than no backup at all. He let losses likely to be simultaneous to the original and backup for many common dangers: serious power, near the lightning seeds, failures of hard disk (if it's a second partition), virus attacks, even the theft of the laptop.

  In my view, secure backup must be on a media removable and not stored in the computer. For backup really secure (necessary, for example, if your company depends on your data), you should have several generations of backup, and at least one of these generations should be stored off-site.

• Backup is the entire computer, not last point

  Sorry to make a new question - I see a similar one on the sidebar, but can not understand how to put their hands on it.  Like her, I am using 5 DVD and an entire afternoon whenever I want to back up.  I paid previously for LiveOneCare (I believe was the name) and the back up regularly took 15 minutes - half an hour, on a part of a DVD.  That the right program was dropped recently, but of course this CAN BE DONE - then why can't still do us it the same way?

  One of the answers from Microsoft talked to choose to back up only the files instead of the entire computer on the wizard.  I do not give me the choice.  Please fix.  I can back up my files, but what of all the downloads/updates etc, guys?

  Backup provides a backup option selected files. Simply select the location of the files.

  Backup Windows does not give you too many options IMO. You can think of another backup utility (free or paid).

  PS among paying utilities, Acronis is the best IMO.

• Open my pictures slows down the entire computer

  What is the solution?

  Thank you

• 0x8007045D Won ' t back up the entire computer

  I'm trying to back up my computer while an external HD with 300 GB of space (more than enough) with windows to the top.  2 minutes in the back up he abandoned and gives the error message (0x887045D).  I did chkdsk on drives and still the same thing.  On the files and folders backup it does very well.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

  First of all, how is externally (FAT-32 or NTFS) formatted drive?  FAT - 32 imposes a 4 GB file size limit and maybe it's not a problem with the files and folders, but there are some files of the system who may be that large and that would stop the process in its tracks.  The only solution to this problem would be to format or convert the disk external drive to NTFS where there is no such limit.  If the drive is empty (or you can temporarily move all that is there), it would be better to do a full format (since that would eliminate another potential cause of the problem at the same time).

  Second, I couldn't find a single answer looking for this error (with the exception of this thread).  Are you sure that you have right?

  What version of Vista are you using?  An image compllete backup is only available on certain versions.  I don't see how you would even be able to start if it was the wrong version, but I'ld confirm you it in any case.

  At this point, I would like to give some links for how to make backups in Vista just to be sure, you are using the correct procedures.  Image backups are a little different that backup file/fulll.

  This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vistahttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions

  You do as an administrator?  Otherwise, sign in as an administrator and try again.  Also, disable any software security you have running while you do the backup - it might interfere with the process.  Finally, if this does not work, try to do minimumhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135from a boot. and see if that helps.  Don't forget to return the system to normal mode once done with the boot.

  I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, post returns with answers to the questions and answers for the procedures that you have tried.  We will see then what are the other options, we can try (if necessary).

  Good luck!

• I just got a new Windows 7 computer. How I completely restart the entire computer and lose all files, applications, etc., that never came with the computer first?

  * Original title: restart the computer

  I just got a new Windows 7 computer, and it has many applications in this shift makes the apps that I really need. How can I completely restart the computer world and lose all files, applications, etc., that came with the computer first

  If these are apps you added and want more, you can use the functionality of your computer factory restore. Unfortunately, this erases the disk and leave you with a double précis of his State when you turned on for the first time.  Then, you would have to do all the updates of Windows and then install all the programs you want.

  Otherwise, use programs uninstaller (from Control Panel) for each application that you do NOT want to uninstall.

  Hello

  If the system still boot and CD/DVD Burns just put in a DVD-R (write once) or DVD - RW (burn
  several times)-it will encourage - when its ready use Windows Explorer to drag and drop files (and
  their content) on the DVD. When you're ready, click BURN. I would like to make a couple of each DVD for
  Security with redundancy. These will not be encrypted and you can access the files out of them or
  subsequently copy on a hard drive.

  Basically, make sure you know what you want to copy the files and put them in a blank DVD to write.

  ---------------------

  If the system does not start, then you will need to put the drive in another computer or in a
  External enclosure USB so you can copy files to removable media.

• Cleaning of the Satellite A100 - 454 Fan - how?

  Hi, I have a Satellite A100-454 and:
  -in the past months, the laptop heats up enough quickly
  -Since last week, the fan of heats up very quickly (and the entire region under the power and the multimedia keys gets too hot) and the portable computer turns off without any warning.

  The whole area that gets hot being near the fan, I think it is damaged, or at least with a lot of dust. So I ask, how can I clean it (to my responsibility, of course)?

  Best regards, the Portugal

  Hello

  As you know if you want to clean it properly you need to disassemble your laptop and have access to the cooling fan and cooling grid. If the disassembly procedure must be made according to order of disassembly. Manual maintenance is unfortunately not public document so you can follow the instructions given on this page.

  Of course, on your own risk!
