  Hello:

  In my view, there is nothing you can do to repair the drive except to replace it.

  You can run the checkdisk utility and check both boxes.

• HP Pavilion TouchSmart 23-f202: no boot disk was detected or the drive failed

  On startup, I get the message "no boot disk was detected or the drive failed.

  I bought a new H/D, installed and at startup I get the same message that I got on the old H/D.

  As there was no disc provided with the computer when I bought what I'm doing, had to do to get this sucker to the top and work?

  Hi @Jimmy56,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand that you had a type "no boot drive has been detected" error at startup to the top, and you have replaced the hard drive and have the same problem. I'm happy to help you with this.

  If replace you the original hard disk, you can use the following to test the hard drive. It is possible, there was a connectivity issue and just re-allocation of places the hard drive could make a difference. Computers HP - display of error HDD before starting the computer

  The most recent hard disk you put in, if not there was no operating system installed, you'll get the same type of message. You could make the same diagnosis of HDD from the link above, just to make sure that the disc is good.

  Please let me know the results, but so just install the original in the system hard disk works, and it starts correctly, so please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

• Time Machine backup to external drive connected to the TimeCapsule

  I have a 3 TB TimeCapsule, that contains the my iMac TimeMachine backup. So far so good.

  Now, I would like to connect an external drive to the TimeCapsule via the USB port to allow access to this drive of my iMac as well as other computers on my network. I would like to than the external to include in my Time Machine backup drive. Is it possible - by accepting that the backup of obviously only runs when the Mac is on? If this isn't the case, other methods of backup to an external drive, connected to the TimeCapsule, may be recommended?

  You can do it. Time Machine it will support up to a separate folder on your backup disk. Don't forget to remove it from the exclusions list in Time Machine preferences. I don't know if others cannot see the drive connected to your computer is turned off. They may be able to mount the drive on their computer as you do on yours. Try it because I could be wrong on this matter.

• Backup to external drives on rotation

  Hello world
  
  I was wondering if someone could provide some instructions step by step how set the archiver to export everything (files, users, tables, views, profiles, rules, fields e.t.c.) in a directory, so that I can put a task Scheduler to copy this directory to external drives on the rotation.
  
  My files and metadata are stored in the database (SecureFilesFS).
  
  I guess that this is not something very difficult to do?
  
  Kind regards
  gpapadopoulos

  Hello

  For users, tables, views, profiles, rules, part of fields that the simplest would be to create CMU packages on a regular basis so that it does not use a lot of CS resources and also you can get the zip file for this will save a lot of physical space as well.

  With regard to the timing of content my recommendation would be as follows (not that this is an ideal, but I think very effective):

  1 create a rule of archive and the schedule to run at a time given time every day. This will create the archives.hda that can be saved as physical to restore if necessary.

  2. create a physical file system backup to weblayout / Vault directories for identical to archive and save to a different file location so that the content is saved.

  3. create a backup of the DB for metadata with archiver / physical file so that both information of all the db metadata n is saved for the restoration.

  Another way to do is to have the FileStoreProvider used to redirect the content to a file location secure which is robust enough so that it can be recovered back later but even this CMU must be performed with DB backup to create a full restore of backup UCM points.

  I would like to know your opinion on this.

  Thank you

• Not able to take backup on external drive.

  Original title: backup and backup Open files;

  I have just startde to use Office 2007 with Windows XP Pro. I'm doing a backup on my external drive "F". When I try to open the file or folder of this drive in R / clicking > open, it brings back me to the wizard to backup & restore instead. The window that opens when I R / click on the file/folder on drive F is so different; It shows a selection "Edit" at the top, followed by "Open", followed by "7-Zip", 'open with' ' Scan with "," send to "etc. No "Explore". I was unable to open the folder or file in any given method. Make the backup I use the Backup Wizard and have used the advanced, and normal method. On the F drive backup icon appears, but it seems to be empty or such. What I do wqrong? I need your HELP, please and thank you: HDScala

  Hi JoelJ1964,

  Thank you very much for your help. Before using this laptop, I used my old computer with WIN XP Pro and Office 2003. I was able to back up to the external hard drive F and then open and work with files or files, as in copy and paste to the C drive everything I need. Office 2007 does not work the same? I use Windows XP pro here as well. In addition, I seem to have several folders "My Documents" on "My Computer" tree. A top under the desk, then 'User' in Documents and Settings, I 'My Documents' and 'recent Documents '. In the latter folder, I found all the backups, many icons, real backup folder containing only 1 KB, and most appear to be shortcuts. I simply do not know what is happening here, although some files or folders are containing the info that I have previously saved in My Documents.

  How can I know what a folder, when I returned to the Backup Wizard, follow the instructions in the wizard and the file or restore the right folder? I'll be able to see this only restored?

  Any suggestions or help or advise would be appreciated. Best regards, HDScala;

  Hi HDScala;

  With all due respect, you're wrong to be able to open and edit files after using backup windows on your other computer. Using the backup utility is not the same as copy and paste. When you use backup image is created similar to the image below. When you use copy / paste, you are able to access immediately, open and edit the file. Backup doesn't work the same way. It compresses the files you selected to save then creates an image of the same thing. There is no option to change the format that uses the backup utility files.

  The link below is a tutorial on windos xp backup utility.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/Setup/learnmore/bott_03july14.mspx

  As for the several folders "My documents" you see, there's such a folder for each user account on the computer, including the default Administrator account. These records are quite normal.

  The only strange thing, that you have pointed out the fact that you see the individual files in recent Documents. You should see the image created by the backup utility along with the documents you accessed physically.

• Floppy drive to ASR disk not recognized at the end of the backup on external drive

  Before you back up to an external hard drive, I'm warned I need a disc to record recovery system information.  Once the backup is complete, I said that he cannot make the ASR diskette because there is no disk drive.  But there is a car and I loaded it with a new DVD.  It shows the disc and the MBs available on the DVD by clicking on 'computer '.  How can I get the backup program from Vista to recognize that the floppy drive is there and ready to accept the ASR information?

  Hi RitaGowen,

  (a) edition of windows vista you run on the computer?

  (b) how exactly you are trying to back up files? You try to create an automated system recovery (of the ASR system) disk?

  Please, give the full error you receive to better understand the issue.

  Hello!

  The external box is maybe defective, because you said that the HARD drive works in your laptop and the PS3 without problem.
  You can test the HARD drive in another external case?

  WD test unknown to me but I always use the Drive Fitness Test:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

• Copy of the image works only disk based backups?

  DB version: 11.2
  
  What is the command to SWITCH DATABASE to COPY for?
  
  In the thread above, I have in the whole of clause SWITCH used with COPY of IMAGE
  
  Example provided by Julien
  

  You can also switch a datafile
   
  for example;
    
  RMAN>sql ‘alter database datafile 2 offline’;
  RMAN>switch datafile 2 to copy;
  RMAN>recover datafile 2;
  RMAN>sql ‘alter database datafile 2 online’;

  I understand that if you COPY of IMAGE backups and if you lose your data files, you can switch to the image immediately RMAN backup then recovery will be quick.
  
  So, it means that the COPY of the IMAGE of RMAN cannot be made to the drives (no tapes). Right? That is to say. If it is in the band then

  RMAN>switch datafile 2 to copy;

  will take a while. Right?

  You don't want to go to a copy on tape because the band does not provide random access (and certainly will not support simultaneity)!

  AS a BACKUP COPY can be done on the disc.

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/backup.112/e10643/rcmsynta007.htm#CHDEHBEJ

  "A copy of the image is an identical copy of the byte to byte in the original file. You can create backup image files of data, copies of data files and archived redo logs. Copy the image files may exist on the disk. »

• How can I move files from backup to backup of Vista on a new external drive?

  I use Vista and have a few backup files made by the Vista Backup utility that is currently stored in a USB 2.0 external drive.

  I bought a bigger external drive and I want to transfer data from the old disk to the new external drive and I tried:

  1. fixing of the external drive and select all (mediaid.bin incl.)-> copy / paste
  2 copy data from the old disk on the desktop and then copy from the office to the new drive

  Both disks are formatted as NTFS. It seems to transfer ok, but when I checked the data on the new external drive, it is much LESS than the data on the old disk (disk right click computer-> properties). I think that Vista is resistant to climb a backup of files. There was no error prompt.

  Help, please. Why is this happening?
