How to clone disk HARD of backup/restore for ideapad with pre-installed win8 and recovery button work?

Hi all

I recently bought a y510p ideapad. It came with pre-installed win8, and I have no recovery CD. I intend to play with linux on this laptop, but do not want to lose win8. So before I have potentially immediately reformat, I think to make a copy of clone of my HDD on an external USB drive. The general plan is like that,

1. make a copy of mobile on external USB HARD drive

2 mud with linux - and foolishly autour reformat the entire process

3. have fed up with linux and want to return to windows

4 copy of retrospective data from usb driver external HDD latop

5 return to the comfort of win8

With the help of this tool (clonezilla) will work in the above scenario?

http://www.MakeUseOf.com/tag/free-advanced-hard-drive-cloning-solution-from-Clonezilla/

If not, are there any other alternatives (free if all goes well) I could use?

My intention with the backup, is that after that I have 'restore' things, "a key recovery" button should continue to work as before.

Make the plan will cause OKR is not functioning properly. To prove this to get a hard drive of exact size and make a clone of hard disk of the device. Remove the hard drive from the unit and place the disc clone hard inside. You can now play with the disk hard clone to your hearts desire but OKR first test if it still works. Even if OKR no longer work, you can proceed with the installation of linux. Once you're disgusted with Linux everything you have to do is replace the hard disk clone with the original hard drive and you're back to win with OKR 8 still works.

    Partitioning of a Windows 7 computer

    On a laptop Windows 7 HP, it is possible to partition the hard drive by using software like Partition Master, install XP and an earlier version of Office on the new partition? I know I can run Win7 XP mode, but many prefer a base XP environment. Yes, I have new copies unregistered XP and Office 2003.

    TIA,

    Besides Partition Master you can also use Windows 7 "Disk Managment" to shrink the partition of Windows 7, create a new partition of the space "unallocated", and then do a formatting NTFS "Full".

    You can have the creative cloud installed and signed in on two computers as long as you don't use it on one at a time. Download and install as you did on the first computer, sign in to your Adobe account on the Adobe using your Adobe ID website, download the desktop app from clouds, then download the software.

    You can download the installer for Creative Cloud from here:
    Creative cloud help | Creative cloud desktop.

    After you install the creative Cloud desktop application, you will need to sign in with a login password and Adobe. Then you can install applications. This link provides more information and step by step instructions, if you need: CC help | Download, install, update or uninstall applications

  • How to clone the hard disk on Mac

    I've done it before. Then I used Carbon Copy Cloner, but for some reason any CCC doesn't work anymore. My OS is said that only applications that have been purchased in the works of the appstore. Is this true? And how to make a bootable clone - I can't find a clone-app in the appstore? I get upgraded my OS and want to save a copy of my old BONES just one of nine cases security is not working properly.

    You need the CCC for the OSX version you have. It still works perfectly well.

    If you have MountainLion, Mavericks, Yosemite or ElCapitan: updating CCC4 should do the job.

    Earlier OSX to CCC3.

    AppStore has nothing to do with it.

    SystemPreferences-> Security & privacy-> general set "MacAppstore and identified developers."

    then you can install it.

    First install the OS on the new drive.

  • external hard drive backup restore, .swm files

    I used the backup feature of my Pavilion g7 to make a backup to a hard drive external.  Then I restored the computer to the original factory State.  When I try to restore the backup, I go to the external drive, open the backup folder where the .swm files are stored and click on restore.  It then passes through what seems to ba a restore process (I can see my files on it as it loads) for about 30 minutes.  Subsequently, there is a folder on the desktop named "system recovery files", and I can't do anything with. In the meantime, none of my old files on the computer.  Very strange. have not seen another thread that looks at this issue.  Can not know what does the restore process and where my files are going, if anywhere.

    Thank you!

    I would add that the disk external drive, the file restore.exe has a date of 2010 on it while the .swm files have a date of 2013. Strange, as in other posts of reading, it seems all the files created in this backup must have the same date.

    Hello

    2010 is the date for the program, it won't change, but files of stormwater management are not the same unless they have the same point of restoration/time. Just run like s Adminitrator restore.exe (right click and run as administrator) and must restore it for you filws.

  • How to disable disk hard identification in LR 3.3?

    Hello!

    I have a problem with the LR 3.3 on my Windows XP. I have a lot of hard drive (1 TB, 2 TB SATA2, made by Samsung) in my XP system with my RAW photos, all encrypted by Truecrypt. When I need to import my photos existing warranty hard disk (Truecrypt is the best tool I tested), LR 3.3 blocks the Move option and add in the import dialog box.

    I have to reproduce my photos by copy only - options and Memory Card

    LR 3.3 is the thought, that my encrypted hard drives are my memory cards and disable add and move option.

    How to turn off this bad identyfication?

    And in the end, every time when I want to import photos - LR 3.3 seeks all my TB hard disks (more then 30 minutes) to create / view my thumbs folders - and I can't stop this search. How to turn off too?

    Concerning

    Remisteness,

    There are a few things to mention about your problem:

    (1) analyzes all drives after importation from

    Just after the opening of the import dialog box, try clicking on a hard drive as soon as possible and uncheck 'include subfolders '. This should prevent the scanning of readers.

    (2) what is presented to the o/s for an encrypted device

    Of course, your encryption software presents 'virtual' disks as removable devices for the operating system, which led LR to treat them as 'cards '.

    I have a similar software used to access data encrypted in "File containers" (Backup PrivateDisk). In backup PrivateDisk, I can configure the way a 'virtual' drive is presented to the operating system, either as a device removable simulated hard drive. If I choose 'Simulate the hard drive', the 'virtual' drive is represented as a hard drive in my WinXP and LR does not show as a removable device, thus without the restriction on 'Cards' during the import.

    (3) the restrictions imposed by LR while the importation of "cards".

    LR prevents users to move photos when directly accessing a memory card, because if a file would get damaged when importing valid none of the copy of the image would not exist everywhere. Also, adding photos residing on a real memory card makes no sense either, that too many users would look for their original images after disconnecting the (and possibly reformatting) memory card.

    There was a long discussion in this forum lately on whether it makes sense or not that LR is trying to protect users of hurt them. I guess we can see it either, and the limits chosen by Adobe type to protect Adobe from too many questions/accusations.

    (4) solution to workaround for LR 3.3

    To be able to add or move a removable device in LR 3.3, you can do the following:

    1. You create one or two import Presets, with adding / moving as long as the action to perform. You must create these presets while doing a test import to an external HARD drive or of interal, then save from there.
    2. When you access your removable device, navigate to the drive by clicking on the drive letter in the drive below "Files" list and not clicking on the removable device in the section "devices."
    3. Choose one of the built in step 1 import presets

    This will use move or add as the action to take (to be noted that no action at all is highlighted), even if you import from a 'map '.

    Because this behavior is a hidden feature / without papers (or same bug?), we do not know if this possibility will be existing in the future releases of LR, but at the moment it seems be a workaround.

  • Satellite U300-PSU30E - how to fix disk HARD runing Vista

    Is it possible to fix the HARD disk if the repair of Vista does not work?

    At startup, I can choose the repair of the system, but there is no HARD disk driver.
    Vista does not start.

    The strange thing is that Linux can access the HARD disk. The re-partition and the boot partition seem to be OK, but the Vista partition is damaged.
    Linux application to use windows and give 'chkdsk /f' and 2 startup time.
    Nice, but I have no way to get to a working command prompt.

    Is there a way to access the BIOS settings?
    BIOS detects the HARD drive and displays its name and type (MK1637GSX).
    Just wondering if there is something wrong with the BIOS settings.

    The repair CD is not helping. He asks a HARD disk driver.
    With the CD, access to the boot partition and the WinRE partition works, but accessing the partition Vista doesn't.
    Sometimes I find myself in a bad score.
    Directory on the partition change Vista takes about 10 minutes (if it happens to succeed).

    I managed to find the disk.inf on the Vista partition once, but after a long installation there is a popup saying that nothing could be installed.

    I doubt that there could be something wrong with BIOS, you can access the BIOS by pressing F2.
    But if Linux is bootable, then everything is OK with the BIOS and HARD disk
    I think that only Vista partition and master boot record may be defective.

    > Repair CD does not help. He asks a HARD disk driver.
    I think that you need to install the SATA drive in order to recognize the HARD drive.
    The SATA drivers should be part of the Robson package which is on the European driver Toshiba page.
    Maybe then you could get access to HARD drive and running a chkdsk /F

    > Oh. and illustrated by the machine System Recovery Options
    > don't watch not "TOSHIBA HDD Recovery" as stated in the knowledge base article "how to recover a > for Toshiba laptop with the HDD recovery procedure.

    I think that your laptop is not the recovery of HARD drive partition.
    Only the most recent models of laptops that are not delivered with the recovery disc supports this feature.

    You don't need a Windows installation CD in order to backup data files.  What makes you think do you?

    [The light bulb turns]: you're probably trying to install NTBackup.  My advice to you is to forget NTBackup and get a disk imaging or cloning application.  I propose the following actions:

    Acronis True Image Home 
    Paragon backup and recovery home
    Casper 6.0
    Norton Ghost (used to be the standard for imaging applications, but I haven't used recent editions; if you really want to use a Symantec product, read the reviews on Amazon)
