Could not locate the backups on an internal hard drive

original title: had to re install vista, saved on another disc internal using backup windows and restore before hand but the pc can't see the old backups to the internal drive?

Hi, Ive got the OS vista home premium 32-bit os hdd (c) corrupt so re-installed. OK, so far... problem is my backup and restore stuff was recorded on one additional internal (e) hdd, problem is when I went to restore "the files selected" I needed, the ku'damm pc wouldn't even not watch on the backup drive internal and I wanted to just do a restore of the next point. seemed a bit of a waste of time, buying an extra drive just to save up if operating system wont even look after a clean install. I'm not stupid... but I'm confused... any help would be great :)

Hello

1. don't format you the other hard disk by accident during the reinstall of Windows?
2 - is a computer backup or backup of the data right?
3. you see the other internal disk in the computer?

Follow these tips and give us more details.

Suggestion 1:
a. Click Start, click computer.
b. If you can see the drive in the computer, and then open the drive and check if you can see the data here.

Also check the status of the internal drive in disk management.

To open disk management:
Click Start, then type diskmgmt.msc in the start search box and press ENTER.

Suggestion 2:
Try to restore the file by using the advanced restore option and check if you can see the hard drive.
a. open the backup center and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then restore and backup center.
b. click Advanced Restore. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
c. click files from a backup made on a different computer and then follow the steps.

    Thank you

    I could not find any information on this specific error code - so it will have to address the situation in a generic way.

    Here is an article on the restore procedure: http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

    This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://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.

    Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work): http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

    I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

    1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

    2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

    3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

    4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

    5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

    6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

    7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

    8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

    9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that the backup location is not available " ")

    10. and you press "next".

    11 guess what... no error!

    12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

    13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

    14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

    I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).  I hope you find any error or discrepancy in your procedure and it will clear up and allow you to restore.

    I hope this helps.

  • Time machine could not complete the backup of... The backup disk image could not be found (error (null))

    Running OS 10.11.3 on my early 2011 Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, use Time Machine to back up to my Airport 802.11ac purchased 16/09/2014:

    Backup failed: Time Machine could not complete the backup of... Airport Time Capsule.   The backup disk image ' / Volume/Data/MacBookPro.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null)).   Last successful backup: yesterday at 12:17

    I can see the airport and the data file in my network.

    I immediately did a full time Machine backup on a USB key and it disconnected from my system.

    I unplugged the airport, let it rest for a minute and returned the power plug, let it settle for a green light.  I'm restarting Time Machine backup to the airport.

    I need to replace the airport?  The appliance starts to fail?  Or, it is more likely is a problem with winter static electricity that has damaged the image and reconstruction will fix all this.  Reconstruction will take about four hours with no guarantee that it will work.

  • While the plug-and-play was still there at all, and I tried to go I still receive error message 2. could not locate the file.

    It Startin via msconfig did not work.

    Tried to go through Device Manager, which is completely empty for some reason any.

    I tried to contact microsoft help and they might suggest only I have upgraded to windows 10. Tried several times, and he has failed to be upgraded, every time. For the most part just download windows 10 and then by restarting the computer as if nothing happened. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    I would like to ask you:

    • You are running Windows 7 or Windows 10 on your PC?
    • When was the last time it was working fine? Remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    Given that you are unable to complete the scan of SFC and Task Manager is empty, usually reinstall or do a repair install is the best choice of action. However, we can try to fix these files and check if that helps. To do this, refer to the steps below:

    1. Open the start menu and type "cmd".
    2. Right-click on the command prompt and click "run as administrator".
    3. Type the following commands and press ENTER after each.

    DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    After you run these commands, restart the system and check.

  • Restore the backup to an external hard drive

    original title: if I reinstall my Vista, how to make the backup on an external hard drive? Is it a procedure drag-and - déposer? I use a Seagate external hard drive and there is no help section.

    Have run the back up to the external hard drive, I would like to know how to use it when I reinstall Vista Home Premium system.

    Also, I tried to check the hard disk for errors, and he has not finished the event.

    Assuming that you used the backup of Vista and made program a full backup and not an image backup (although some of these procedures include the restoration of a full image backup), here is some information to help you restore data.  Try to read or at least most of the analytical documents before you start, so you get a good understanding of the process and the procedures involved.  Restoring from an external hard drive is a little different from restoring a secondary internal hard drive, CD/DVD or Flash drive or on the network (although quite close to the procedure of network). If you have used the Vista backup program, you can not restore using drag-and-drop - you must use Vista restore program.

    Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

  • Could not locate the system volume

    I have a very similar problem that has been published before; However, the posted solution worked.

    I can't find in the newspapers, what is actually wrong.  If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

    "Then the conversion of a server to ESX 3.5 Server 2003 I received this message after only 95% complete.". Failure of the Reconfiguration of the error. With the State: FAILED: could not find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible.

    I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0.1"

    Newspapers reported the following errors (which are equivalent):

    Impossible to reconfigure a source that doesn't have a system volume

    converter.fault.ReconfigurationNoSystemVolumeFault

    It seems that there are 2 physical disks in the system

    > Drive:
    . \PhysicalDrive0 a type of adapter: 1

    > Drive:
    . A type of adapter \PhysicalDrive1: 1

    Converter is to see the C:\ as long as the system volume, but there is no active flag set on it.  The second disc is recognized, but according to it's Converter:

    > is a dynamic volume. No significant partition information may be associated with him

    So, it looks like there's a mirror of software on the source physical system or the original system was dual boot between something like Windows 2008 and 2003 Server.

    If it's a mirror of the software, you can:

    -remove the mirror and conversion

    -Use gparted on the virtual machine to set start-up/active at the first vmdk file flags, and then reconfigure the virtual machine via converter

    If it is a dual-boot configuration, then I do not think that it is supported.
