Don't recharge files after restoring Vista 32 bit

I had vista 64 bit OS and got disorders pilot so I restored it to 32 bits after a backup to an external hard drive, now I can't restore the files as the restoration Center shows no backup is available. Please help I need these files soon.

Original title; Novice needs help.

Hi Bluesman123,

Please take a look at the following information through MRMic of a previous post:

I got exactly the same problem on Vista 32 bit. The second time I tried to restore from my external hard drive, I got the error "data too small area."

After you have reinstalled Vista, I wanted to make a backup. To avoid a conflict between the backup of previous installation and the new facility, I renamed the backup folder (for example, MICPC to MICPC-OLD). Later, I got the error trying to restore my old backup. On a whim, I renamed the old folder its original name (OLD of MICPC to MICPC) and that fixed it (or at least restore now works).

It turns out that I never needed to rename the folder in the first place because when I reinstalled Vista, I added in some way a dash in my name of the computer (MIC - PC) makes it different from the old (MICPC) one anyway.

I hope this helps!

  • How to bring back after restoring Vista SP1 SP2 operating system &?

    I recently used the media supplied with my laptop to restore/reinstall the OS I have a feeling that I don't have it quite right... but my computer works fine. Better than he has for a while. Unfortunately, it's living in the past.

    I had Vista Home Premium SP2 race and now I have only blocks of service of the House of Premium.No. I tried to install SP1 via Windows Update.It takes about 20 seconds. Update history said he "succeeded" but when I look in "Installed updates" is not there. Since then I have "successfully" updated for SP1 20 + times and the only one available for me now (available on several occasions) updated is SP1. My last installed update was September 21. Although windows update history shows "successful" updated all the way up to 15 October.

    In the meantime I had went to the MS downloads site and found the stand-alone (936330 KB) version 5. I tried to install that and it seemed to work. For about 50 minutes. or so he worked there and then it is simply disappeared. Gone.No error message, nothing. I tried again and this time, it still seemed to work, but it has taken longer to disappear this time. After several other attempts, I gave up.

    Since then, I tried a fix to this. Unfortunately, as evidenced by this post, I had no luck. I hope that someone out there has thought about it. I'm reasonably computer literate. More technical it more it receives, but I learn constantly.

    I use a Dell Inspiron 1720, Vista Home Premium, Version 6.0.6000, 32-bit, x 86, circa 2008. Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00 GHz 2000 mhz carrots 2, 2 logical processors.  2 hard drives @ 320 GB ea. BIOS A09, 11/07/2008. Ver.2.4 SMBIOS.

    I'm currently downloading a set of files to install vista home premium 32 bit x 86 with SP1. I hope that it will work. My other alternative is this Dell factory image restore point but I think it'd probably just in the same situation? Help.

    Hello

    I don't know why you have problems with standalones.

    This is the advice that we give the posters who have problems with Service Packs:

    Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

    It will also tell you which SP you have installed.

    Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, installation of SP1 first if it is not already installed.

  • Rename a data file after restoring

    Hello
    I entered incorrect name for a data file by mistake.

    the value of newname for datafile 145 to ' / PATH/datafile1.dbf ';
    the value of newname for datafile 146 to ' / PATH/datafile2.dbf ';

    But that's the real name of the two

    DataFile 145 /PATH/datafile2.dbf
    DataFile 146 /PATH/datafile1.dbf


    Trying hard I did:

    change the database file rename ' / PATH/datafile1.dbf ' to ' / PATH/datafile2.dbf ';
    change the database file rename ' / PATH/datafile2.dbf ' to ' / PATH/datafile1.dbf ';

    But I got this error after alter renaming:
    ERROR on line 1:
    ORA-01511: Error renaming data/log files
    ORA-01523: cannot rename the data file ' / PATH/datafile2.dbf '-record already in the database


    How can I return the names after the two data files are restored and renamed.

    His as an example, you have two glasses of water, you want to exchange the water in each glass, then you need extra glass here.
    Thus, rename one of the files with a different name.

    change the database file rename ' / PATH/datafile1.dbf ' to ' / PATH/datafile1_dummy.dbf ';
    change the database file rename ' / PATH/datafile2.dbf ' to ' / PATH/datafile1.dbf ';
    change the database file rename ' / PATH/datafile1_dummy.dbf ' to ' / PATH/datafile2.dbf ';

  • problems .crd of opening the file extension under Vista 64-bit,

    I have .crd files created by the cardfile program that was on older versions of Windows. Cardfile program does not work on Vista 64 bit. I need a way to open files in a usable format.

    Hello Moesch,
     
    Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.
     
    You must associate the *. CRD Extension with the CardFile application. In Vista, by default, the extension of the CRD is associated with CardSapce.
     
    To change the file association:
    1. click on start and type CMD
    2. in the list right click on CMD and click "Run as Administrator".
    3. use the following commands to * change * the file association.
    a. type SCS .crd = CardFile31, and then press on enter
    b. Type ftype = C:\Windows\CARDFILE CardFile31. EXE %1 and press enter
    4. double-click the Cardfile.CRD file. It should open in the map file.
     
    It will be useful.

  • How to restore vista 64 bit on sony vaio to factory without backup system disks?

    I made a mistake, took my sony vaio vgn-fw265d with windows vista home edition for futureshop to solve problems,

    as my recovery disks have been corrupted. they installed windows vista 64-bit, but I've lost factory sitting, now some hardware not

    working as blueray etc.

    Hello

    1st thing I would do is to bring your SONY VAIO at Futureshop and get them to fix it properly

    or

    Contact sony and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    http://eSupport.Sony.com/

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Cannot restore files after reinstalling Vista

    My problem is that doubles 1. Everything I know about building and nothing about computers and 2. When I had trouble with my Word program, IE. It took 10 to 15 minutes to load, someone suggested that I reinstalled it to try to solve the problem. There can be no. Then, he suggested I have reinstall full vista I did. He asked if I wanted to back up my files, to which I answered Yes. It took several hours to install fuly and when I got home he had finished and almost nothing on the screen except a few editing base.  He had of course saved and everything saved on the hard drive somewhere, I had a friend TI to throw a glance and he was not at all familiar with it. But he had found and restored in a file named "bob."  But the big problem is that I can not open an any of them as file extensions are unknown. I really need to bring them especially my photos. My backup of records were destroyed in a fire of the site office and all the photos of my partner who died since in a car accident, were there. So close they are tempting, but cannot display. I tried to Microsoft to take over my computer remotely and sort it out for me, but may not return to the right place in the vast world of Microsoft.
    Anyone can help, but it must be in plain English and not the computer language.

    Hello jonowlbarn,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Before you reinstalled Windows Vista didn't have you backed up your files? If so you back up your files on the same hard drive that Vista has been installed on?  If Yes, then performed reverse would be erased when you remove Vista.  I added some information below for that matter.  Please let us know status.  Thank you!

    To make sure that you do not lose the files you create, edit and store on your computer, you must save the regularly. You can back up your files any time or manually configure automatic backups.

    Note The ability to set up automatic backups is not included in Windows Vista Starter and Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.

       
     

    1.

    Open the backup center and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then click backup and Restore Center.

    2.

    Click back up files, and follow the steps in the wizard. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    No backup files on the same hard disk that Windows is installed. For example, to make the back not files on a recovery partition. Always store media used for backups (external hard disks, DVDs, or CDs) in a safe place in order to prevent unauthorized access to your files; a separate fireproof place of your computer is recommended. You can also consider encrypting the data on your backup.

    In addition, please see the links below:

    WoodyZ - is there a way I can rebuild this section?

    If you can find the file "Windows 7 x 64 - s010.vmdk" within the structure of the backup folder Time Machine which is closest to you, you might get lucky, but really all depends on what exactly in this segment of the disc.  I use the find command in a Terminal to find this file because I do not think that you will find with Spotlight.  If you can find the file "Windows 7 x 64 - s010.vmdk", then in an attempt to at least be able to mount the drive with VMDKMounter in order to try to recover all the data, you can you can always replace the file "Windows 7 x 64 - s010.vmdk" with a segment of fake or another as duplicate file "Windows 7 x 64 - s011.vmdk" and rename it file "Windows 7 x 64 - s010.vmdk.  FWIW, it will really depend on exactly what was in the file "Windows 7 x 64 - s010.vmdk" about what you might be able to recover with VMDKMounter or even to start the Virtual Machine.  I actually had the results mixed in the past where only data could be retrieved and cases where all data have been recovered and in some of these cases, the Virtual Machine is bootable and in some not so it all comes down to what was in the missing segment.

    At this point you have nothing to lose and everything to win then to give a try.
