FileHistory restore Windows 7 using

Because of compatibility issues (my Dell 6510 does not support Windows 8.1 completely), I had to reinstall Windows 7.  I have a complete backup using Windows 8.1 FileHistory.

How to restore Windows 7?  I noticed that my files are all available, but they are annotated with the date and time of the last backup.

You can't, you can't properly access by using the function "restore files" history file.

History of file was created several years after Windows 7, so the old operating system has no capability to interface with the new program.  It's supposed to go forward to the future, person never designed to go backward.

  • Restore windows 7 using the windows.old folder after the installation of windows 8?

    Hi all

    After you have installed windows 8 on a pc comes with windows 7, I learned just learned that I don't have a product key valid win8 because I already used once for an installation of win8 on another pc. Now, I need to go back to win7 because I don't plan on buying another product key.
    I know that I can do this with the option to restore from the manufacturer, but it will be a hassle to get back to the top/reinstall all my applications and data.
    Is it possible to go on win7 by using the windows.old folder?

    Hello

    Whether you are planning to install Windows 7 on the computer that has Windows 8, we can only perform a custom installation.

    If you are using an OEM computer, see the link:

  • When you try to restore the system using the system image, Windows 7 does not find the USB HDD.

    I have 3 computers backed up with their images of system on an external USB drive.

    However, when you try to restore a computer using system image, Windows 7 fails to find the USB HDD.

    I think it would be probably due to the fact that the WindowsImageBackup folder is probably not in the right place or a superfluous folder. Here's an example of how my disk backup has arranged record...

    Root for example E: /.

    -Computer #1

    - WindowsImageBackup
    -ComputerName #1

    -202348 backup 2016-05-29

    -Catalogue

    -SPPMetadataCache

    -MediaID (file)

    -Computer #2

    - WindowsImageBackup 
    -ComputerName #2

    -202348 backup 2016-05-29

    -ComputerName #3

    -202348 backup 2016-05-29

    -Catalogue

    -SPPMetadataCache

    -MediaID (file)

    I realize that the WindowsImageBackup folder should be at the origin, so I moved this computer folder #1 a less E:\

    However, restoration is unable to find it and can't even see the USB HDD.

    Can anyone offer advice on what I can hurt?

  • Satellite A200-17O - how to restore Windows to the factory settings?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200-17O. I want to restore Windows Vista to factory settings, I did not need to backup all the files. I don't have the product recovery CD. When I press F8 and click on the "Repair" option, it will give me all the options, but when I click on the option to completely recover the system (the one on the bottom), it will simply open a window telling me to back up my data, then theres a button 'OK', and when I click that, the window will simply close and return to the menu options. All I want is to return Vista to factory settings.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    Yes, normally you can restore your computer laptop initial configuration using disk HARD recovery option. Therefore, you must follow the instructions here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

    If it doesn't work, you need to use the Toshiba recovery disc. If your computer laptop didn t come with such a recovery disk you create yourself using recovery preinstalled creator tool. This is mentioned in your user manual, have you checked it?

    Therefore, you need a few blank DVDs. I recommend the DVD-R from Verbatim or TDK. Many users here have a good experience with these brands.

    If you have any other questions, just after again! ;)

  • Satellite C660-15r - restore Windows 7 without password

    I bought Toshiba Satellite C660-15r off someone, but the problem is that there is a password at startup upward.
    It's very well because I was about to restore it somehow but when I go to the restoration of windows you need a password to access.

    Is it possible to reinstall windows with using windows restore. I really hope that someone can help you.

    My advice is to follow:
    When you buy used laptop install OS again to have the own operating system preinstalled. Use the Toshiba recovery image, if possible.
    Just a question: do you mean password BIOS or Windows login password?

    If the previous user has put a password, you need and without that password, you can do nothing.
    If the pre-installed OS is locked with password login, you can install OS using recovery DVDs and you don't need any password for it. I just hope that the previous owner has created this recovery DVDs.

  • Error 1706 and restore Windows to previous state

    I have a 1706 error regarding a photo program pre-installed on my computer Dell in 2006.

    Search on the site Web of the seller said to find a particular .msi file and run the installation program that him, but a search of my computer files shows that I do not have this file.

    I searched the Internet and somewhere it was proposed to restore Windows to a previous state.  But when I do that, I get a message that the restore has not been made, and no changes have been made to my computer.

    I ran a registry repair, but that did not help.

    I have 2 separate problems here?  A Setup error AND a computer restore the question?  Or are they related in some way?

    You won't get any early responses constantly asking the same question (4 times in 4 minutes).

    I suggested that as a first step, you use the function "UNDO" - if available - in the program that you used to do the repair 'Register' and then uninstall and throw this program.  See http://chris.pirillo.com/are-registry-cleaners-safe-to-use/ , http://www.edbott.com/weblog/2005/04/why-i-don ' t-use - Registry cleaners / and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563254

    It seems that if you attempt to uninstall (or perhaps fix) an application program.  The MSI file is the Microsoft Installer file used to install the application in the first place.  The same file is also used to uninstall or repair the installation.  If this file was deleted a long time ago (or maybe even never present in the disk image of Dell that was used for the manufacture of your computer), System Restore won't help (don't).  System Restore is not a panacea.

    The usual method to solve problems in uninstalling applications is to install the application (which is to replace the missing msi file) again and then uninstall it.  Unfortunately, this does not work in all situations because some applications refuse to install if the old version is still present.  There are alternative methods - if uninstalling the app, that's what you try to do.

    It is possible that if you explain what you are trying to accomplish, someone may be able to provide a suggestion.

    To increase the probability of getting help, please provide the full text of the error message, and the name and version of the photo program.  Also, please provide the version of Windows you have, including the service pack (click right my computer and select properties for this info).  Because you have a Dell, provide your Number of Service Dell could also help.

    What is your system brand and model?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, Comodo, PC Tools, etc.

    What is the issue that you are experiencing that you think that the system restore will be remedied (or you are just convenient)?  Remember that the system restore is not a time machine.

    Have you ever used the system restore to restore your system in the past?

    Describe exactly what happens when you try to perform a system restore and the error messages you see which indicates that it does not work (some thing besides 'it does not work").

    Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.

    For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:

    Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...

    It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:

    https://support.Norton.com/SP/en/us/home/current/solutions/v51118464_EndUserProfile_en_us?product=home&version=1

    According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.

    Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.

    Note that if you do a Safe Mode system restore, you will not be able to cancel it and there is no option on the System Restore screen for "Undo my last restoration" as you would if you were to restore your system from a normal startup.

    Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.

    Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.

    No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:

    Download, install, update, and make at least a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

    System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.

    That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).

  • Re-install Windows 7 using recovery media (DVD)

    Laptop: HP-430 Notebook

    OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)

    HARD DRIVE: THE 298 GB

    When I bought recently my laptop HP-430, I partitioned new HARD drive using some other third party software. I created an additional partition (M:\). Here's the info, how I've repartitioned...

    C:\ - 100 GB (changed from 284 GB to 100 GB).

    D:\ - have not made any changes.

    M:\ - 184 GB (created a drive by myself).

    Then after a few days of testing purpose I thought using the Recovery Manager. So I run the Setup and chose the first option (System Restore) who says he will only reformat the drive (C:\) system and will not issue any other HARD disk changes. But to my surprise it deleted/reformatted the HARD full disc, and I lost all my documents, music, photos and all my important files, I recorded/saved on M:\ (that I had created...)

    Can someone tell me why the hack happened...?

    So now, next point. After that the Recovery Manager has restored the operating system, I repartitioned again, but this time with the Windows disk management tool. But the Windows disk management does not shrink (resize) the C:\(Systemdrive) of less than 150 GB. So I resized C:\ to 150 GB of GB 284 and created a player more (M:\) 147 GB size. And I deleted the recovery disc (D:\), but I created the recovery DVD before you remove the Recoevery of my HARD disk drive.

    Now its time for me to reinstall Windows 7 using recovery media, I messed with some system files when installing a theme for Windows 7 and now my OS is completely unstable. So now I want to reinstall windows 7, but I do not understand what option selected in the Recovery Manager (when run from Recovery DVD)

    Options displayed in the Recovery Manager

    1 collect using Microsoft Recovery

    2 recovery system (the option that I had chosen for the first time and got all the stuff removed)... He said that he only reinstalls the OS and custom make any other change of HARD drive.

    3 minimized Image Recovery

    4. factory Reset.

    So now my question to you guys, it's what option do I have selected in the Recovery Manager so that all my saved content and my stuff on M:\ (I created) will not be removed... and the operating system is reinstalled.

    PLIZZZZZ HELPPPPPPPPPPPP...

    Hello

    I don't think that all the disk recovery options will keep your partition custom - as far as I know, the only time where you will receive a prompt to keep a custom partition when you use the option "Recovery of Image is reduced to a minimum" to the recovery Partition D that you deleted.

    You can try the following workaround.

    Download the good Image of disk Windows 7 from the link below: it must be exactly the same version your OEM Setup - that is to say if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to the version, you must download.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

    Use the disk that you create to perform the installation - when you get to the option to choose the installation type, choose custom and select the C partition.

    When asked, enter the activation key Windows located on the underside of your laptop, then when the installation is complete use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just that a new installation of Windows 7 without software load additional normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • Could not restore Windows 7 after Windows 8 Preview - TM2 version have restore DVD, always fails.

    Hello!  I'm about out of ideas on how to resolve this, so I'll do a summary of what I changed with the machine and then further troubleshooting details on.  The hp touchsmart PC portable individual I is a TM2-1079 cl, product number: WA812UA #ABA.  I got it for the length of 2012, I bought it used another person about 1 year ago now specifically to play with Windows 8, before his release.  Regarding materials real age, I can tell from the warranty information that it was made at the end of 2009, he stated the warranty period was from January 2010 to January 2011.

    Okay, so my story with the OS change goes:
    -> Bought this TM2 in early 2012, ran the recovery partition to wipe it clean from the previous use of owners and he went perfectly well, then a Windows 7 clean installation as if it were new.  I had also made use of an Acronis True Image 2010 boot disk to a hard disk image of the three than other recovery partitions (although I do not understand the freshly installed windows partition 7, thought it wouldn't matter if the recovery could do it's thing right?)
    -> A few days later, I loaded the second of the three Preview versions for Windows 8 above (Customer Preview build I think).   Everything worked well and it doubles starting between the two without problem, as far as I know, the only real made amounted to convert the main partition that Windows 7 was installed on an extended partition and splitting of existing Windows 7 partition everything also 50-50 indoor and extended partition.  She had also replaced the Boot Manager / bootloader which was there before, but once again not surprised.
    -> When the build of the Preview version was released over the summer I did an update from inside windows 8 and all seemed well again.  Change between builds two preview has developed a problem where I could not stop windows 8 without a handful of error boxes poping up to the top, but I'm pretty sure that was unrelated.
    --> More recently about time thanksgiving, I decided to give the laptop to a family member with an archiac office who has had problems and updated factor of old general who in fact does not.   This person is quite unfavorable for change so that everything "Win8-vs-what people are used" comes into play.   I decided to erase the TM2 clean to the BONE it comes with.    Here's where I'm stuck now:

    => Before doing anything I did a just incase, glad I did another true picture of the HARD drive.
    => I have tried F11 to load the recovery partition to see that, because of the bootloader be tampered with by Windows 8 it is really not to the HP recovery partition more while it is still on the hard drive.
    => Captures the image of hard drive since the beginning of the year with the partition recovery on it until windows 8 hit the machine, cleaned the hard drive completely, restored the disk image.   I could now enter HP recovery fine but...
    => I got a dialogue mistake right off the bat, saying that the recovery partition could not install and insert me CD 1 of recovery of education software.  Well I never did the dvd myself with the single use burning star when it worked so that is out and I did not buy the disks on the HP support site.   At this point I'm stumped, but why the recovery partition cannot install despite the computer load up in recovering very well.  For example, command prompt in the Windows PE environment is functional and all files seem to be present.   Maybe some checks as the recovery partition is not pirated could have been triggered by hard drive imaging, I'm really not sure?
    => I did then used the image of HARD drive, I had just created before trying it and restored the other copy of the reader (bootloader altered Win8, Win8 version preview, win7, the inaccessible and all recovery partition).   Windows 7 and 8 - RP can still start.   Google a bit on the recovery partition key (F11) is dirtied by Windows 8 and came to find that I had to only salvage value as the partition "Active" so he can start.  Sure, I have to start but I'm running into the same issue, where the real recovery partition loads but now refuses to start the process of restoring without HP dvd.  Because I know that for some it worked months ago I guess that once more, because I ended up restoring this version of the recovery partition it may also declared himself tampered with... great.
    -Online planned what to do a little and then finally just ordered the DVD from HP in December, I had specifically recovery DVD for my model and they weren't from HP directly, not second hand on ebay or another person.  Wasn't really that bad, $16, very reasonable price.  Should be just, legit OEM DVD to use?  Nope...
    => Came the DVD.  Two main recovery disks and a third for applications and drivers.   Start with disk one and he says is formatting the drive how he wants (good, I love it so far), copy all the content of the three disks on the hard drive and starts his reboot and install cycle.    Restarts a handful of times, you can tell that well after the copy of the content of the any disk and installing windows.  You see the logo Windows 7 boot a few times and even the standard background 'prepare your things' which is similar to the Windows 7 login screen.  The screen becomes certainly as far as the driver proper (and others I guess at that time here) such as changes in native resolution for LCD of the TM2 towards the end.
    -Online all of a sudden on the 3rd or 4th (I think) reboot of windows setup begins for a while then said stop, it restarts and it is back in Windows PE installation of recovery again (this time from the hard drive, not the DVD) and says that it has failed to restore and offers to start over from the beginning.

    This is where I am stuck.  The recovery Partition died on me post-Windows 8 and the official HP recovery DVD fail to me (and curiously they you apparently miss you in all stages of restoration windows 7, well after the DVD themselves are are most read from).

    > Question 1: is the "self-destruct" HP recovery partition if he gets imaged hard drive imaging software and restored?  I can confirm mine worked fine and then died after after crossing Acronis True Image.  Another possibility is that perhaps there is a certain ID or the tattoo of the hard disk or specific partitions that was lost when Windows 8 put his recent bootloader into the machine or lost of Acronis?  It's always the hdd oem supplied with the computer, it has not been turned out.
    > Question 2: are there known issues with the official recovery of Windows 7 DVD s for an end TM2 2009 1079 cl?  I also know the recovery of Cyberlink software fix / preinstall disc and tried this with results that were not different in without it.  That said, my machine has the version of the recovery software Cyberlink, I read something as software from 3 different companies for recovery depending on the period of time the laptop was manufactured and sold.
    Reference: [ http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&softwareitem=pv-80183-1 ]
    > Question 3: clearly asked, what now?  Another thing to try or I have to go find a disc of windows 7 RTM and snatch all the zippers of all pilot?  (Quite hoping to avoid this, I'm actually curious enough to really understand what happened here and that will work he answered nothing.)  hehe).

    Perhaps of things this way: some research led me to believe have the WLAN switch off at the beginning of the recovery causes the driver to flip out (and win7 seems indeed dropping dead during the last steps of the installation of the driver) however it is not possible it seems to activate the wireless card 'on' before that point.  Switch do even when active state.   As I have already mentioned the recovery of Cyberlink software patch has no effect on things.   No parts have never been amended in this machine, the original hard drive, the wireless network card, modules, ram ect.   I doubt that the motherboard bios / firmware has never been States machinery, update is revision F.02.

    I have at my disposal:
    Much time, in fact, hense why I really want to know what has happened and do not use the disc of Win7 RTM.
    * disk hard recovery HP before addressed Win8 image machine.

    * disk hard recovery image after Win8 and a little bug, but still bootable Win8-RP.
    * The correct recovery DVD for my laptop HP-directed, ordered recently (December 2012).
    * Enough confidence to play with score editing tools would it be a suggestion, never really used much outside of gparted on discs live linux however.  In view of the current state of the machine there is nothing to lose much more than to risk.

    Sorry for the wall of text!  I love being very detailed!

    I actually had, pretty much on a whim of 'eh, might as well try it' too!

    So I told him earlier that it seemed obvious that most of the recovery completed well, something just kept arye until reset all cycles of the overall configuration process.   Seemed as if drivers were causing a problem because the display driver had obviously just finished installing a few moments before the final restart dead-end.  There was a lot of forum discussions there on different models of HP laptops, who need the wireless card to be placed in 'market' or restore might fail completely, I tried but the TM2 does not really allow you to change the WLAN State of 'off' when the operating system has already recognized (as in bios menus and windows install ", it stays just off even if you hit the switch).

    I decided to try pulling the mini-pcie card out of the machine completely and from configuration on and... It worked!  I had throughout a fresh Windows 7 and he even recreated my recovery partition correctly!

    Check in the C:\SwSetup\ directory after the installation was made, I found all the other drivers and a folder called 'WLAN', which was empty.   I guess that means if recovery is not material, then they choose even not copy the data to a certain device driver.   Because it was not present, everything that's wrong with installing drivers during recovery wireless cards never crashed the recovery all!

    I wonder if there isn't something wrong with the wireless card in my TM2 in all honesty.  I had a problem with it along since I got a year ago in this radius of reception was terrible and if I went that areas of the room of the wifi point he was likely to win.   Having said that it worked then I ignored it before.   Maybe the card is gone belly up and install recovery is not just installation to recognize errors in nonlethal pilot since the WIFI network?  He would fit with other peoples problems when WLAN is turned off as well at least.

    As a separate note, since the new year I've updated my personal machine (a HP DV6T) for one SSD and (without erasing my old HDD), I decided to try acronis imagery on this cover of machines and other partitions under Windows 7 itself for the SSD.   Of course, the same question appeared, recovery would not launch without the DVD.   Apparently Acronis True Image just cannot successfully restore HP to an image of partition recovery.   I don't pretend to know why but while the real partiton returns through restoration and environmental WinPE is running the effective recovery certainly does not aftering through an image .tib in the case of two separate HP machines.

    (For googlers who think so), these are two of the three questions, which I came across while doing this resolved and everything that I'm going to worry.

    > Windows 8 Preview mess with bootloaders, breaks recovery, I didn't figure out how to restore it.
    > Do not rely on an image of hard disk from the recovery partition, even if you can restore the partition and it opens to black recovery menu window it can still fail and ask the recovery dvd.  The recovery partition disk imaging is risky!

    > If your HP recovery (partition or dvd, or another) dies near the end of all this and turning on/off WLAN is not helping, try ripping off the mini-pcie for the restore time card and then reinsert once you return to an operating system clean, everything worked for me!  For reference, I don't know what model of wlan card that is exactly, but it's a Broadcom 802.11n adapter (HP alternative number? Not sure) SPS: 593837-001.  The driver will not be C:\SwSetup\ after the installation as the dvd won't copy out but plug in ethernet, windows update finds it easy.
