• System backup Image against the system recovery disks

  Hello

  I'm new to the system recovery things and I have a question...

  I just bought a new computer laptop m7-1015dx of Pavilion and need to do system recovery discs... (which I realize restore laptop to factory default)... BTW, I have already created the system repair disc.

  However, I read an article on creating a system backup Image allowing you to recovery if lost EVERYTHING, all your installed programs, etc.

  First Question:

  Can someone tell me if I do the backup IMAGE of the system...

  Do I still need to create recovery disk (mfg default) system also?

  The second Question:

  If I create system recovery disks can I still this Recovery Partition?

  I am really really wanting to partition my C:\ drive... it is huge

  In addition, I hate to see storage folders involved in system folders...

  Currently using a symbol/character to separate them.

  From now on, I can't partition the C:\drive all partitions are used as... Max is 4

  and I have 4... C:\drive, System Partition, Partition HPTools and recovery Partition.

  Any help or assistance would be appreciated.

  Thanks for the research.

  Best regards, Jenn

  Hi, Jenn:

  I'd certainly recovery disks because in the case of a hard drive failure, a recovery partition is unnecessary because it would be on the failed drive.

  Recovery disks will do the same as a recovery partition. Reinstall the operating system and programs supplied with your laptop.

  I have also copy off the coast of the C:\drive SWSetup folder and store it on a portable hard drive that contains all files Installer provided with your PC (except MS Office 2010 Starter).

  You can also make your own Windows 7 installation disc and have a nice bloatware without installing windows, and then install only the programs you want from the SWSetup folder.

  Here's how:

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  You can get rid of all the partitions you want to if you plan to use recovery or disc of Windows 7 installation method that I posted above.

  I write my product key and store them somewhere for more security that many people report that it fades if you keep the laptop on your lap a lot, and then you wouldn't be able to use the alternative method to install W7.

• Is anyway to create fifth partition and keep the basic hard disk?

  Hi, my laptop is g7 1207se Pavilion and the and HP has made 4 partitions (C for windows) and the other 3 for system files and recovery, I want to create a new partition for my files (so I can recover my system without losing them) or install other operating systems, but apparently if I want to create fifth partition I have to convert my hard drive in Dynamics by the practice that I won't be able to boot from any partition but the C, which means no recovery and no other operating system.

  Is anyway to create fifth partition and keep the basic hard disk?

• I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp.

  I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp. Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?  I would that all is the same except the size of your hard drive will be increased.

  Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?

  Yes.

  You use the disk cloning software.  In some cases, a new player may even be bundled with software that will do this for you.

  Unless your laptop has a second drive Bay (most don't), you will also need an external hard drive enclosure.  As a general rule, these connect via the USB port, although if your laptop has a connector FireWire or eSATA you can also use these interfaces.

  You must select your external enclosure based on 3 criteria: the type of connection to the laptop. the physical size of the disc (2 1/2 inches for computer laptop drives); and player interface (determined by the connection of the internal drive of your laptop). For example only (no recommendation), if you wanted an enclosure for a 2.5 IDE drive "which connects using USB 2.0, Newegg has 17 products

  The (slightly) more expensive items among the software, you will need.  For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602 this particular House will work with SATA or IDE drives.

  If you buy an external enclosure that doesn't include cloning software, the software may be available for free from the manufacturer of the new 320 GB drive (e.g., http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list):

• How to delete a backup image of the computer?

  Last week I had to format my hard drive of the PC (I won't go into details, but a certain SQL Server 2008 SP1 was the culprit).

  I reinstalled Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit and spent 5 days to install my apps and all the updates of windows (SQL Server 2008 SP1, the exception ;-)).

  When I got the message saying that there is no update available, I made a full backup pc on my drive hard usb.

  A few hours later, Windows told me there was an update available: nothing less than Windows Vista SP1!

  So I downloaded the SP1 and installed.

  I didn't want to end up with two all backups of pc (I was sure that SP1 had produced changes to the massive file), so I deleted, from Windows Explorer, computer backup image file in my drive hard usb.

  When I ran "backup status and Configuration - backup of the computer", he said that, since there was already a complete pc upward in my drive hard usb (which is not true, I deleted it!), going to back up only new and changed files... I had no other choice, so I made the back up and found it was actually a partial upward (I can tell because the size of the backup, the original was almost 50 GB and the second one was 31 GB).

  I went on the MSDN forums and found I could do two things:

  (a) change the registry to remove all values full them pc backup keys.
  (b) format my USB HDD.

  I've done both. The second it took me almost all day today (copy + / 200 GB of my hard drive on my HDD to the PC, formatting the USB drive and copy back the +/-200 GB).

  When I tried to make my backup of the computer, it says "this computer has not been saved.

  I sighed and thought: "it was worthwhile, I will have as a backup of the computer!

  But no, it was not to be.

  When I arrived at the final stage before actually to support to the top of my pc, the program says "the backup can take up to 55 GB of disk space. "Because a previous backup until already exists... that the differences will be saved."

  It makes no sense at all... Did someone there with the knowledge of how to delete a backup image (for good) complete pc so a new (full, incremental) can be produced?

  I think that being able to add/remove the backup images is a core feature.

  Thank you for your help,

  Hi Sergio Torres,

  Sorry for the delay getting back to you.  I'll pass your program for better Assistant forum post since this is related to a set of program with Vista rather than a security/privacy issue.  We will track a little to the original problem that you can't get Windows backup to recognize the backup of the image has already been deleted and the need to create a new backup full rather than an incremental backup.  Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

  It's the MSDN article, you mentioned, correct?
  http://Channel9.msdn.com/posts/keithcombs/Windows-Vista-complete-PC-Backup-and-recovery/

  What you have done with success:
  1 / deleted the registry key related to Windows backup
  2 / use Disk Clean Up tool to remove the backup
  3 / appropriate and completely remove the WindowsImageBackup directory
  4 / format the USB all together.

  If you already completed these steps successfully, then the error will be with a setting in Windows that always store the old backup file list.  I found this suggestion in the newsgroup Vista, give it a shot to see how it goes.

  "Hi Tim,

  because the backup is deleted out of band - it is always saved in the backup catalog. This is because the application always displays the text that is incorrect.

  It will be first - come back to the full backup if the previous version is not available on the backup location. It is only the user interface that notifies badly as I mentioned above.

  If you want the application to forget * all * older backups - you can launch a high command prompt. type the command line-
  WBADMIN delete catalog.

• When you try to create a system image, receive the error code 0 x 81000019

  Get the error code when you try to create a system image on a 900 + GB hard drive with 900 GB of free space. Keeps telling me that there is not enough space to create the image of the shadow. I'm trying the disk image has only 40 GB of data. What is going on? Using Windows 7 64 bit Pro.

  Many hours of searching the Web for answers about a year ago, said that relatively few people have this problem and proposed solutions in the forums have been complex, machine dependent and seem to fail for most of the people who have tried a fix...

  So when I gave up and called Microsoft... they told me to take my problem to anyone assembled my computer...

  The man who built my machine told me not to worry, simply store all my files on the cloud, as he does...

  So now I store my important stuff on a spare drive, we have installed in the box, go to live with the inability to make appropriate backups and restore points...

  All my old computers is standard backups without any hassle... Just this new machine with Win7.

  (The only "new" thing was a disc SSD C... can't believe it would make one difference either, other than speed... and many people use them in 2011...)

• In which directory of the disk hard will be stored bookmarks?

  Generally all bookmarks are stored in the folder 'My documents' 'Favorites '. Everything in the hard disk of the system, usually referred to as the 'C' drive
  Whence the Mozilla Firefox saves his favorites? Thank you

  Firefox stores the bookmarks and the browser history in places.sqlite and either use a HTML file or creates a backup of the HTML for the bookmarks.

  There are 10 daily rotating backups of JSON in the bookmarkbackups folder in the Firefox profile folder, one for each day when Firefox is started.

  You can make Firefox create an automatic HTML (bookmarks.html) backup when you exit Firefox, if you set the pref to true on the subject browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML: config page.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML

  The backup is created by default in the profile folder bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and the path through the pref browser.bookmarks.file on the topic: config page.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file

  This pref does not exist by default, and you may need to create a new pref browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML string and set the value to the full path of the file backup bookmarks.

  Note: an HTML backup preserves tags and annotations, to lose them if you need to import the backup HTML.

• Replace the HDD with SSD boot disk and use the disk HARD now as secondary storage

  I would like to replace my dv7 - 6143cl HDD with a SSD boot drive and using the OEM HARD drive as secondary storage.

  I have the SSD and the caddy

  I need to:

  delete the original OEM HD

  Install the SSD

  install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

  Install Win 7 (I don't have install disks - what is on the HARD drive in his backup partition)

  or I have to

  delete this HD

  Install the SSD

  go into the BIOS, and then assign him drive in AHCI (etc.)

  Install Win 7

  install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

  etc.

  I want to dual-boot, if possible, but I think that the second HD (start-up disk) does not start, even if I change the settings in the BIOS

  is this true?

  Thank you very much

  Hello:

  Your BIOS is set to AHCI (or RAID) by default. It cannot be changed.  Look in your device manager and in the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section, look to see if there is a controller SATA ACHI he.

  If so, you have an AHCI BIOS default.

  If you go further down the line in Device Manager and see a section of storage controllers, click on that, you would see a SATA RAID controller and your BIOS is set to default RAID.

  I don't have your model laptop so I don't know if HP has implemented some models double disk RAID or AHCI.

  So... First, copy your original C:\ drive SWSetup folder and save that to a portable hard drive. That must contain all the files installation for the drivers and the software provided with your PC. You can search this folder for programs that you may want to reinstall after your new SSD drive HARD primary.

  To install W7 on your SSD, check your own install of W7 disc.  Here's how:

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  (a) I seriously don't want to buy an external hard drive.

  (b) to create a safe environment

  (If you insist on one) then you can't do b).

  To create an image, you have two options:

  • Use the tool to create native images (which creates a .vhd file, not a .iso file). It works but it is immature, lack of functionality and is capricious.
  • Use a third-party product. Some of them cost money.

• Upgrade of the disk HARD Equium U400-145

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Equium U400-145 and the vehicle currently has Windows 7 on it and a 160 GB hard drive. Is it possible to move on to bigger hard drive (1 TB) and if so I can use another external HARD disk (that is, connected by USB) to take an image of the current using Clonezilla, then make the hardware upgrade and restore the image to the new drive once its equipped? (Or Windows 7 will need to be reinstalled)?

  Theoretically, it should be possible. Clonezilla is unknown to me, but in the past, many people have done a similar thing with other applications like Acronis. In your case, I think you need to use Clonezilla Live.

  U400 is God machine and works perfectly with Windows 7. I don't know if you were able to install it perfectly including all necessary drivers, tools and utilities.
  Return to the modernization of the HARD drive. I did not have this machine and can not say for sure is everything going to be OK, but I think that new HARD drive should be recognized correctly with full capacity of 1 TB.
