• Backup and restore does not recognize my external HARD drive.

  When I try to use the ms backup and restore it only recogniza my external HARD drive.

  Is that possible reinstall or repair?

  Hello daniloalvesmaciel,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  First of all, I could check and see if the hard drive is listed on the Windows 7 Compatibility Center. Clickhere for a link to the Compatibility Center. If it's on the Compatibility Center, then check out the web site of the manufacturer for updates or drivers.

  Then check if you see the external hard drive in the Device Manager.
  To check these options:

  1. click on the Start button to display the Start Menu , then selectControl Panel .
  2. the Control Panel window opens.
  Now click system and security from this window.
  3 Scrollfor Device Manager.
  4. click on the Device Manager.
  5. to view material click on any category and the associated list of installed hardware. For example. Click on hard drives.
  Right click on the external hard drive. You can see the different options likeUpdate driver software, disable, uninstall and properties etc.
  6. click on Properties to display the details of the hardware. Click theDriver tab , to view the details of device driver.
  7. then on the software update driver to check and see if you have the latest drivers.

  Then check again and see if you can save on the external hard drive.

  If this is not the case, try to map a drive to the external drive. Can you back up now.

  Please respond and take stock of your problem.

• I get the 0x8078012D error code when I run the Windows backup on an external hard drive.

  I get the 0x8078012D error code when I run the Windows backup on an external hard drive.  I have Windows 7 Professional.  That suggests this error code is the problem and how can I solve the problem?

  For people who read this thread, I offer the following information.  I solved the problem by noticing that the problem could have been caused, when the system image is created.  So I did a backup without creating the system image and backup is complete without error.

  Then I used the backup program to create a system image.  This time error (0x8007045D) was displayed.   The error report says "the operation failed for a device error encountered with the source or the destination. If the volume of the source or the destination is on a disk, run CHKDSK /R on the source volume or destination and then try again using. »

  So I ran chkdsk/r, and this program is a bad sector on the hard drive of my computer and fixed the error.  It took about an hour to run the program.  Now, the image of the system and the backup of data file work again.

  So I think that the main cause of error (0x8078012D) is deborahgarbe of i/o error (0x8007045D).  So if you get the first error code you can search for fixes for the second error code fix the root cause.

  I NEED HELP TO KNOW HOW EXACTLY, STEP BY STEP, TO DO THIS.

  Three points:

  1. software (Real Player or any other) should generally not be on
  external hard drives. It can cause problems. So you shouldn't do it.

  2 move a program from one drive to another (external or not) is
  difficult. This is because besides that the software itself, there is
  usually many references to it and its location in | Windows, in the
  Registry and elsewhere. Search and replace all of these references is
  very hard. There is a software that is supposed to do, but in my
  experience, none of this works perfectly. I recommend strongly against
  it.

  3. move media files is easy. You can move the files to a disk
  to another exactly like you would move them from one folder to another.
  There are several ways, but cut-and - paste and drag - move are the
  may be simpler and more common. If you do not know how
  write again for more information.

  This problem has been resolved in collaboration with support of higher HP for Z book 17 mobile workstation.

  Steps:

  (1) determines that it is not NTFS problem

  (2) using the MSCONFIG the problem has been isolated to a single service

  When this service has been disabled and after reboot, the problem of access to the files is resolved.

  Results: HP had installed software on the HP Z book 17 laptop or mobile workstation which, by default, block communication with external hard drives and flash drives external.

  This HP Client Security software replaces or blocks all right click changes settings become apparent.  It blocks the change of ownership.  It blocks the administrator privileges.  It blocks all is used.

  The HP Client Security software has been changed and changed to deny privileges (default setting) to allow the communication with external drives.  When you go into the setting for this software, it is now a humming noise and maybe I need to download the drivers and software again to see if this problem is also corrected.

  Thanks for your comments.  I spent a lot of time on this and didn't understand why all right-click methods had failed.  The default software setting HP deny had trumped right click all changes.

  Here's the situation, I reinstall Windows 7 on my laptop when it all of a sudden to stop. Now he cannot start Windows and only shows the Startup Repair tool. IM thinking if I can get my hard drive and put it in a hard drive enclosure and install windows in it as a hard drive external. And after installation, I will put the normal back on my laptop as a hard drive. Will this work?

  Furthermore, I can't boot any disk installation because the built-in DVD player does not work, also I can not change startup option because I can't access the BIOS, there the password and I do not know. Please someone help! :( Thank you!

  As a general rule, Microsoft allows not 'officially' most versions of Windows (9 x--> 7) to boot from an external hard drive.  However, there could be an exception to this rule.  eSATA pregnant use signals to 'SATA' HDD on an "external" port
