How to backup a Windows 7 Machine to a network attached drive (WD Worldbook) - using the Windows backup utility?

When I use the tool, it lists only a DVD player in backup option, it does not find the network drive (and the tool does not seem to give you an option to search for manually - just has a refresh button). Any help would be great.

ISTR that you have to buy Windows 7 Ultimate or above for the backup to a network share using the installed backup program.  The series Windows 7 Home won't make backups on a network.

  • How clone a HARD drive and then use the clone with VMware (as well as Windows works!)?

    I have a system where Windows 7 is installed, and I'm doing a clone of her image of HARD drive, I then want to use in my main with VMware PC, so that I can start Windows 7 at the cloned disk.

    I used Ultimate Boot CD v5.1.1 with which HDD I wanted to clone, and I cloned using EaseUs Disk Copy, which comes with Ultimate Boot CD. The source HARD drive was 250 GB in size which had 3 partitions, while the USB HDD I have attached to the system, which was supposed to be the disk of destination/clone, was 320 GB in size. I chose to create a replica, exact and up to 250 GB of data (partitions, etc.) has been copied exactly, and the rest of space was not allocated. I have now connected this USB HDD to my main PC, shot to the top of VMware Workstation 8 and defined a new Virtual Machine and chose to boot from the USB HDD.

    The result is that when Windows starts (from the cloned HDD inside VMware), I get the blue screen error until I get to the login screen.

    How can I change my methodology so that Windows starts even on the clone? I can change the tools I use, etc.

    You can use the usb drive is
    you only need to patch the system a little registry
    to do this, you start the virtual machine with the usb drive in a restore win7 CD, and then follow the instructions I posted here
    http://sanbarrow.com/p2v2008r2.html

    Patching - easy Variant

    This procedure is used when otherwise the VM would start in a kind of bluescreen 7B.
    This means that VMware is the target and that you configure the computer virtual with VirtualHardware type 7.
    It applies only if the virtual disk is configured like this
    scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068".
    scsi0:0. FileName = "imported.vmdk".

    On the platform target start the virtual machine, newly created in the Windows 7 recovery CD.
    After the initialization is complete, click CMD and run regedit.
    Select HKLM, then Menu > file > load hive.
    Navigate to the Windows directory on the virtualdisk > system32\config and select the file SYSTEM.
    When asked for a name enter p2v.
    Then find the key

    HKLM\p2v\ControlSet001\services\LSI_SAS

    and the startup type of the REG_DWORD value 0
    Select HKLM\p2v, and then click Menu > file > unload hive.
    You can now close regedit and restart.
    The next time you start, you can start in the 2008 R2 system. He should find the drivers and probably need to reboot when finished.

  • Is it possible under the EULA to have several virtual machines on a single physical hard disk while using the same OS license or do I need a separate license for each virtual computer?

    I have several programs that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.  I would like to run each different software under another virtual machine of VMWare (5 packs of different software programs and 5 different virtual machines of Windows XP).  These would all be installed on your laptop.  I can use the same license of Windows XP for each virtual machine, or do I need a separate XP license for each (different XP in case 5 licenses)?

    It is lifted directly from my EULA:

    1. GRANT OF LICENSE.
    The manufacturer that you grant the following rights, provided that
    comply you with all terms and conditions of this EULA:
    1.1 installation and use.  You may install, use, access,
    display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE on
    THE COMPUTER.  The SOFTWARE may not be used
    by more than two 2-processor both on the
    COMPUTER, unless a greater number is
    indicated on the certificate of authenticity.
    Then...
    This means that as long as you are running two or more instances of XP at the same TIME, you agree? Or does this mean that, after you install once, you have reached your limit?
    I imagine that most people (including those who are running Microsoft!) will say that the second interpretation is correct.
    However...
    If this is the case, anyone their hard drive as a backup to clone strategy would violate the EULA!

  • Is it possible - installation of a virtual machine with Server 2008 on a disc and use the other drive for storage

    I have a Dell power edge server with 2 Configuration of disks 1 TB in raid 0

    I can install a Win Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 on a VD without problem, but I do not see the other disk of TB in option within Windows Server to be used as storage SQL only.

    How can I get the two disks to appear in Windows server?

    what I want is:

    First Dell 1 TB drive VD = Server 2008R2 and SQL on C:\

    Second VD Dell 1 TB drive = D:\ like disk storage

    do I have to configure the Dell VD another way or is it possible


    Thank you



    You basically configure the virtual machine that you want on all the available storage (do not forget to keep free space, for example snapshots). -As I understand it - is so that ESXi does not see the storage! This is often caused by the RAID controllers not taken in charge or the RAID issues. Please check if the RAID controller is supported as well as the configuration. BTW. Why do you want to configure RAID0? If you want to create two virtual disks on warehouses of separate data anyway, simply present to ESXI as two separate disks/volumes.

  • ThinkPad R60 cannot install Windows XP After erasing the HARD drive using the lenovo diagnostic utility

    My hard drive on my HPG61 is dying (I already had an option of nine sales under warranty) if I bought a new hard drive and installed it myself the original recovery disks would put windows 7 on a new?

    If you are referring to records of recovery of the manufacturer that came with your computer or the recovery discs that you made from the recovery Partition, YES they can be used to reinstall Windows 7 on your new hard drive.

  • How to use the project from first pro in SG?

    I can't put my project in grade CC speed

    How can I do?

    Please help me.

    If you are using the latest version of PrPro, 2015.3/build 10.3... even if they kept the 'extra' looking for the CC part number from 2015.2 to 2015.3, if you look at the version numbers, 2015.2 is a "9.x" version, and 2015.3 is a version "10.x.

    Essentially, for some reason, they kept the main 2015 'name' but put on what we expected all in 2016. This update 'dot' was actually a major or full-release upgrade. With the changes.

    And... it was decided somewhere... the Panel of Lumetri to PrPro 10.3 was sufficient for the ranking that someone has actually done in PrPro, they is no longer necessary to maintain the directly in the process of SpeedGrade or "Direct link". As they have said their internal 'number' did not show a lot of people using the process to link Direct to SpeedGrade. If you go to the forum of SpeedGrade, there is a thread about it from this view instant 10 126 and several pages of posts.

    So... you can have the two 2015.3 AND 2015.2 'live' on the same machine, as they are completely different versions. In 2015.2 you can always Di - L on SpeedGrade. But you can't 2015.3.

    There is a thread on the forum of SpeedGrade on a workaround or "hack" one of the users posted, that allow to take a 2015.3 project and change the project on a single row header so that you can take the project open in Sg 2015. It has been tested on Mac (the OP is a Mac person) and on the PC by myself and a few other people.

    While I have not heard of anyone having problems with a project worked through this process, it IS NOT OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED. I've used it, as others... but ONLY after making a backup - as with a project in PrPro 2015.3, taking WHILE the version of the file through the process of this thread, while it is guaranteed a clean, workable project file is something didn't translate.

    Here is this thread in the statement process:

    PrPro/Sg 2015.3 solution Hack

    And here is a link to the Adobe-bug/feature request form. The forums of users like this are not place management Adobe monitors requests user & happiness... us, users must complete the forms of bug/feature because they are the communication ONLY the user base for the management people who decide budgets for corrections, features, and improvements to the programs. This judgment of SpeedGrade usability is a bad thing for you, please drop!
