  Probably not.

  Need an external hard drive as large or larger than the drive you want to back up.

  You have not said what backup software you are using.

  I use Carbon Copy Cloner by https://bombich.com/ $40.00 there. You can also use Super Duper.

  These two products will make a bootable backup complete or a clone of you existing hard drive, including your recovery partition.

  Once you made the backup, if your hard drive has never been to fail, you could simply start on the external backup drive.

  If you back up because you're upgrading the hard drive for an SSD, you can put the SSD in an external enclosure and clone your drive in the SSD, test it, and then replace the HD when you are confident that it works well.

  P.S. External hard drives are cheap these days. Here is an example: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-my-passport-ultra-1tb-external-usb-3-0-2-0-portab le-hard-drive-classic-black/7869174.p? id...

• Clone HARD disk backup and upgrade the HDD on a Vaio S13

  I just bought a laptop SVS13133CGB. I want to change the hard drive for an SSD, because of the problems of latency of disk it gives me with the drive 5400 RPM. Also, I have to change to Windows 7, because of the problems of compaitbality with the applications I run.

  My questions are-

  -Are there problems with an SSD on this model? I intend to use a Samsung 840 250 GB SSD and do a clean install of windows 7 on it.

  -I want to save the data of the existing drive, imaging or cloning, so that I can have the installtion Windows 8 + the recovery partion. (also the key/cert/activation)  Does anyone know if I restore it, everything will work according to the normal? I.e. the assist, the stamina/speed etc button button... I m not sure what cloning software I will use, like I always do research which at the moment.

  Has anyone done the above?

  ravinius,

  1. I don't think there's any question replacing a HDD with a SSD... we can only comment on what has been installed from factory but as I said, I don't see a problem to an SSD.

  2. it is preferable that you create system recovery disc and run that, if you want to revert to Windows 8.  Regarding what makes an exact image, I don't know on this one there... There are several software cloning there, but we cannot comment/recommend on a specific... If you are running the recovery disc it will restore everything back as if it was fresh from the factory (software wise)...

• Satellite A210 - 1C0 - the data HARD disk backup

  How to make my two disks hard work, given Vista: C: E, all the stuff only goes on drive C, not E.
  How do you define to the top to have someone on & some on the other?

  Thanks Nigel

  If you want to save data asked where all that must be saved. Choose the right place under E (a specific folder) and be happy.

• File transfer on a clean hard disk backup CD

  I had to clean up the hard drive and now need to transfer the files from the CD to which they were saved to the hard drive clean. Quatro Pro and Word files. Need help?

  Click on the first file in the list to highlight, press and hold the 'Shift' key and click the last file in the list. They should all now be highlighted, right-click and select 'Copy', now use Windows Explorer to navigate to the destination and click "Paste."

  You might consider creating folders with logical names to be used a subset of similar files.

  You can also save the effort by opening Windows Explorer twice, a window to the location of the source file and the other on the destination. This copy and paste a much easier task.

• TEMP folder is larger than the hard disk

  I have a couple of files ("CR_279B.tmp" and "chrome_12004") in my Temp folder which are very large, for a total of 121 GB, despite my hard drive only being 35 GB. All folders and files in these folders have strange symbols in names and file types. None of the types of files are the same. All dates are different and up to 70 years in the future. I can't delete these folders or files. When I try to get one of the two error messages: "cannot delete the file: cannot read from the source file or a disk." or "cannot delete [weird file name]: the file name, directory name or vollume label syntax is incorrect."

  I was wondering if it was something to do with Google Chrome, so I uninstalled it, but it made no difference. There are other files with similar names but they seem much more normal. The relevant files were apparently created 2 days at 23:56.

  Can someone help me find a way to delete these files and/or determine their origin.

  Thank you very much

  First, do a system restore point and back up all your important data on an external support to protect against something going wrong.  If you have a backup image program, run it to backup the entire disk.

  Then run chkdsk to check and correct the errors on the disk.

  If the problem folders are still there, open a command prompt window, navigate to the temp folder and enter these commands to remove:
   
  RD/s CR_279B.tmp
  RD/s chrome_12004

• Restore the virtual hard drive backup on a different node with different IP and host name.

  Hi guys,.
  I want to do the following.
  
  My reliable backup strategy is the virtual hard drive backup. The database is installed on a virtual particulay machine (node). Now, I do not take the backup of the DBF files or control files or files from archive.
  I rely on the virtual hard disk backup. It takes the entire Virtual Machine backup. Now, I wanted to restore this virtual hard drive backup to a different node with different IP and host name.
  But before I start the database, there are some things I need to do.
  As change address IP address and the hostname registered with the database installed and its services.
  
  Please guide me through the steps on how to perform the activity.
  
  Concerning
  Lam...
  SOA admin.

  I think that the whole operating system will be restored in a new virtual machine... I have it... The changes will have to be done in the file listener.ora (hostname or IPADDRESS and also PORT NO in case you want another port as the existing one). Once you have made the changes that you have to bounce the listener, I mean stop and start the listener... I don't think that any other changes are needed... Make sure that the same need for entries (from the listener) to be included in the TNSNAMES file. ORA file both client-side... The tns service is used to connect to the remote database server (from the demand side or whatever source you used to connect to the database server)... I just think that the change to do... Hope its clear... Please try...

• Creating a backup image of the disk HARD Portege M400

  I tried to create a backup image of my HD but can not find software that is compatible with the M400 which will generate the image on a separate USB drive.

  Does not see the local disk but can see USB drive - that someone has managed to generate a backup HD picture?

  Thank you

  Hello

  What application are you using to create the image?
  I use Symantec ghost and I m very happy. I created an image file that has been placed to the second request, and if something goes wrong, I m able to install the OS from the image file.

  In addition, this unit supported RAID and the RAID driver must be installed in order to recognize the HARD drive.

• You can use a single hard drive to store an image disk backup and restore for multiple computers?

  I have a couple of computers that I recently installed Win7 on. As soon as I do an install I always do a backup image is preparing for the worst. Do I need a separate hard drive for each computer that I do a backup or image can I put all my images on a hard drive backup? I already have two separate a HDs different images, but would like to have them all in one place. I already tried a straight copy of an image to HAND HD I would use like, but without success. Is this possible or do I really a backup image HD?

  Depends on what you use for backup.  in General, you need not to have a picture in HD.

  Personally, I like acronis true image home 2012 (free trial) because it is flexible, easy to use and workjs each time.

• 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.

• Changed the original after imaging HARD disk but can get Windows 7 valid

  A SONY VIAO bought in 2010 with a 500 GB hard drive. Started to get those bad guys, messages "imminent HARD drive failure" has created an image using Acronys on a new hard drive of 1 t and traded in. Everything went well until I started getting messages "your computer is not running genuine Windows" (rror code 0xc8000247).  Did all the research, including the call the MS Product Activation Center and the robo-man to give the key that came. Robo-man returned and says invalid key, back to the drawing board (buy W7 for $108, backup all data and programs, install and rebuild the contents of the hard drive). SONY said that they would not help me because I had replaced the hard disk provided with the system. Even though it was about to fail, I should put it back in and call to hide...

  So now what should I do?  I have the product key (from the label under the system), the Windows ID of the information system...

  The common cause for these mismatches is a defective Intel Rapid Storage Tech driver

• system tools - try to restore files from a disk backup ext hard

  try to restore from a disk backup files hard ext... went on all programs, accessories, System Tools... the backup file isn't in the menu.

  Hi WayneDavis777,

  ·         You are not able to see the backup option in the start menu?

  ·         What version of Windows XP you have?

  ·         How you back up the files on the external hard drive?

  Windows XP Home Edition doesn't have a default backup option, you must install it manually.

  If you have Windows XP Home Edition, you can follow this article.

• How to restore a previous backup on a new install of XP Pro and HARD disk?

  I have experienced HARD drive failure last week and has spent a lot of time trying to retrieve the data. I have a previous backup on an external drive, but when I try to restore the files to a new HARD disk with a new installation of XP Pro - files copy them all, but none of the programs or features network work?

  I was going to just to reinstall everything from scratch and just use the recovered data and log files after all the programs I use for my business back... Is there an easier way? Why Windows does not support a backup feature when it does not replicate the system on a new HARD drive correctly or I do something wrong? I can access is no longer the disc HARD death after that I got everything I could out of it (2 x backup and a copy of all important files) before it just completely fried.

  I bought a new HARD drive and installed XP then tried restoring the system to a new HARD disk and all the files are there, but not where they all should be (My Documents is empty and aka 'Of Joe Documents' are stored in a separate folder elsewhere in the new HARD drive) and none of my programs work properly - my antivirus software (CA Security Suite 2009) is , but continues to tell me that none of this is installed. Microsoft Office does not work - tells me that it's just a trial - and Outlook will not retrieve my emails, Outlook looks like not even the same. None of my networks will work with other office machines, but somehow, I have access to the internet through the network...!

  I have to format the new HARD drive in the same directory that the backup was of? (he's currently: / instead of C: / for some reason any) And the name of the account PC should be accurate? (he is currently Documents of Pete Peter's Documents instead).

  I feel blurred by microsoft because I myself prepared for something as it happens and now my company is still paralyzed because the backup does not restore the functionality of my system. Please tell me if I did something wrong and I don't have to buy all my software licenses again after reinstalling ALL my software that has already been restored from a backup. I spent the last few days to Google search without result.
