  Thank you

• Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor didn't finish and restore to Windows Vista

  I try to install Windows 7 and started using Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to examine the State of Vista.

  A number of questions appeared so I did the updates or of facilities such as specified. I then re-ran and it shows now no problems.

  The only things without green ticks are the wireless printer which he cannot evaluate but does report does not as a problem.

  The upgrade of Windows runs almost until the end and then fails and rolls back to Vista. When you are finished, he said to use Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor!

  Where should I go now?

  Notes:

  • Collect all the important application discs and discs of hardware driver, you might need to be reinstalled.
  • Consult the manufacturer and the site of developers of software for available updates and inquire about the status of compatibility with Windows 7. It is possible that if the software is compatible with Windows Vista it probably will work with Windows 7, because they share the same driver model.
  • If you use software like iTunes or Adobe programs, don't forget to remove and disable them before you run the installation program.

  Back up your data:

  When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. Windows Vista, depending on the edition you are running includes a form of backup. If you run editions such as Windows Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate Edition, you can use the built in backup of the computer of your Vista installation. This can be handy if your installation of Windows 7. For instructions on how to use the backup of the computer, see article following here. Of course, you'll need an external hard drive for this task.

  If you are running editions such as Windows Vista Starter, Home Basic or Home Premium, the only option available to backup the standard backup and restore that archive the records of your account with some settings. If you need a similar to the complete PC backup option, you will need a third party too.

  See the following article from Microsoft MVP JW Stuart on how to make a backup of a Windows here installation using Acronis True Image here

  Alternatively, you can use for backup of Windows Vista is Easeus backup, JW Stuart also has an article about it here

  Other steps that you can use to check your data is secure before the upgrade creates a backup of Windows Easy Transfer. Learn more here , this option is very limited and should be used only if do not plan to return to Windows Vista because the easy transfer of backups can be restored in Windows 7 or Windows 7.

  What you can do before performing the upgrade?

  You can perform certain tasks of pre-required to ensure a migration smoothly between Windows Vista and Windows 8. If you use a computer such as a Dell or HP brand name, go to the website of manufacturers for the model computer you are using and download the latest drivers available for this computer. Store them on a disk or a USB key. You should try to get important factors include network and video drivers. Its possible that they might have only Windows Vista, those that will work with Windows 7.

  Other things you can do:

  1. Uninstall all security software before attempting to upgrade.
  2. Disable any encryption software, that you may have installed such as file encryption, BitLocker Drive encryption.
  3. Disable/uninstall software utility to drive such as CD/DVD burning utility or third-party programs such as perfect disk defragment.
  4. Make sure your computer is updated (devices and applications).
  5. Disconnect external devices before installing.
  6. Check your hard drive for errors:
     -Click Start
     -Type: CMD
     -Right click on CMD, and then click Run as administrator
     At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r
     Exit the command prompt.
  
  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.
• Another thing you can do is to disable startup items:
• Click Start
• Type: MSCONFIG.
• Press enter on your keyboard
• On the general tab, click Selective startup.
• Under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
• Click the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
• Click OK.
• When you are prompted, click on restart.
• After the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

• Does she not get the restored properly - Windows Vista Edition family

  I did a backup on 2 of vdv - that, once accomplished was reported as successful. Now, I have restored my laptop to factory settings since she was infected. When I use the Center backup and restore and Advanced Restore option - files from a backup made on a different computer - then the hard drive. He starts the backup asking if some files or all - I choose all files in the backup. It then proceeds...

  I got the c# edition installed with which came the SQl-whiel restore the backup of the ih said there is problem with the authorization of users for SQL 2 related records - I click on go come without affecting the rights of the user. In this case 2 times.

  In the meanwhiel, it shows a lot of files being restored in the progress bar. Then he gives erroe that the label of the disc in the drive is not 1 user-Pc-DateofBackup-disk name where as the disk name is the default name assigned when the backup is performed, which is the name of user-Pc-DateofBackup (may not be the suffix of disc 1).

  Then I choose the option ignore this and drive 2-, it gives the same error...

  When I check - I find a lot of files is restored, but they contain no data/files.

  Help, please.

  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 processes more closely than would a full restore (which is not available in Vista Home anyway).

  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.
