How can I backup my data?

Because I had the wrong continues with my desktop and the taskbar, due to problem of Control Panel, I'm thinking of dumping vista to 7.  However, I do not trust myself not to lose my personal information and files.

Any advice?

Backup your personal files on an external hard drive or DVD or whatever you use to back up just before you do the upgrade.  Even if an upgrade does not affect your data, prevention is better than cure.

Yes. Please for anything else on the post upgrade your questions in the Forum Windows7:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads where Windows7 experts will be happy to help you.

Good luck!

  • Vista initilalize usb disk... How can I backup the data?

    My usb cable was disconnected during moving the files from a [URL = http://www.seagate.com/www/en-gb/products/external/expansion/expansion_desktop/] external expansion of 3 TB Seagate USB Drive. [Url] to my drive is internal. Now Vista sees is no longer the USB in the Explorer. I went in the Adim tools/disk management & demand if I want to 'initialze disc' which gives two options "use the following disk partition style" MBR or GPT. At this point, I chose to leave the application I have I'm not sure what the difference is. Either option would allow me to access the data on the disk? If this is not the case, how can I retrieve the data already stored on the disk?

    You not only peut lose, you go. You can not do a upgrade of
    XP to Windows 7. Although you can use a Windows 7 upgrade copy,
    Since XP, you need to do a clean install with it.

    And how I can save it without copying the data to another location. Thank you

    Copy your data to another location - to external media.
    As you apparently don't do this on a regular basis, let me tell you that you
    Play with fire.  It is always possible that a hard drive crash.
    user, near Thunderbolt error, virus, attack same flight of the
    computer, can result in the loss of everything on your drive. As has often
    been said, is not a question of whether you will have such a problem
    but when.

  • Re: Satellite A210 - cannot start and how can I backup my data?

    Hi, after installing some software of spyware on my vista A210 (spysweeper) I rebooted my laptop, restart it went straight to the Boot Manager and load insert me my recovery disc and follow the instructions in an effective way. The only options I have with this disc to format my hard drive, it seems to indicate that it will erase everything (that would include things on my partitioned drive?).

    No there is no way to start the PC in safe mode? I tried using the F8 key, but couldn't get the SafeMode menu by using the recovery disk to start my machine. So when I chose to start windows in safe mode it loaded the disc in place.

    This sounds like a familiar problem, if so someone knows how can I restore the last parameters of weeks without access to windows?

    I'll have to swallow and format my drive, on the partition that I have a few photos, etc. that I've not saved yet a trip last week so I want to only do this as a last resort?

    Would I be able to go buy a copy of vista and fix it using the CD? My laptop came with windows vista installed but no windows disk.

    Any help is very appreciated!

    Thank you.

    If you are not able to go into the F8 advanced boot menu, you cannot start in safe mode. It's done.
    I think the only way is to reinstall Vista.

    The reason why the laptop came without installation disk is the disk HARD on the second partition a folder called "HDDRecovery". This folder contains the factory settings and you can restore it if you go to the menu of advanced, boot repair my computer and then you can select the Toshiba Recovery feature.
    In addition, you always get a reminder message that you must burn this image to a DVD:
    + Important INFORMATION +.

    + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
    + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
    + HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)
    + and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.

    + Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the +.
    + Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer +.
    + Gets severely damaged.

    However, now it is too late to burn the recovery disc.
    In your case, I would order a Toshiba Recovery disk directly. Then, you can reinstall the laptop and the Toshiba drive already contains all the drivers and tools.
    Here you can order: [https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]

    If you use the recovery disk Toshiba that the whole HARD disk will be formatted. You should back up your data before doing this.
    To do this, you can buy an external HARD drive enclosure. Remove the HARD drive from the laptop, put it in the case and plug it into another PC or laptop. Then, you are able to save your data.

    I hope I could help you.

  • Satellite L350 - cannot install Vista and how can I backup my data?

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite L350 and recently I installed Vista Home Premium in another language (the OEM Vista was in English) in the hope I could activate it with the OEM key, but I did not.

    When I tried to re - install the Vista OEM of WinRE I realized I can't access it, and then I got a "brilliant" idea that will format the C partition with Acronis Disk Director he could boot to WinRE. There can be no.

    Fortunately, I have burned before recovery disks. The only problem is that the whole HARD disc recovery disc formats and I have data on the second partition that I would like to recover.

    I tried to install Vista retail again to save the data of the second partition (Yes, I'm a fool, I did not before) but it stops after the first reboot. I get a black screen with an underscore will blink.

    I really need that data, please help!

    Hello!

    I can tell you why you can t install a version of Vista with product key. It's pretty easy because the button on the lower side on the laptop belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and t can be used by a commercial version.

    However, I think the best way to back up your data would be that you put the HARD drive in an external HARD drive enclosure, and then you can back up your data on another PC or laptop.
    These cases of disc HARD external are cheap but very useful.

    Good bye

    You cannot specify both 'ALL' and ' FROM/UNTIL TIME '.

    Also if you want the archivelogs generated in the last 5 minutes, you should use TIME.

    If you want the archivelogs generated until 5 minutes ago (and not the last archivelogs), you should use up to the HOUR.

  • How can I get the data view to display the same amount of time I save?

    I use the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite.  In the data view, I display a graph of time, the power spectrum, the Color Map and the waterfall.  I am also showing strength in numbers group for several bands and doing cutting-edge research.  I record 100 ms of the transient wave.  In the data view, why the temporal plots show several seconds of data?  What determines how much time will appear in the data view?  More important, the power spectrum reflects the power for the entire of several seconds of data displayed?  Same question for power in the values of band and cutting-edge research.  I want to just this data displayed for 100 ms of the wave that I record.  So, how can I get the data displayed (waveforms) and power numbers come only 100 ms of the recorded wave?

    Finally, what is the best way to make account concisely the recorded data?  By slide numbers on the Documentation tab is not concise, because it comes with graphics, etc..  I tried save as ASCII/LVM, but I get a bunch of stuff intermiated I don't care.  Help?

    Hi TimRsandiego,

    SignalExpress is programmed to display graphs with default scales based on the type of action, it's reading. These scales and settings can be changed by right-clicking on the graph, and then select Properties.

    If you are interested to learn more about how to use SignalExpress, I would recommend checking out some demonstrations/tutorials on NI.com. You can find some of these demos at the following location:
