How to reinstall windows without losing any data on the Satellite A100

Hello everyone!
I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop and would like to reinstall Windows. The disc was divided into 2 parts. WinXp Home is installed on the first.

What happens with the data on the secondary disk if I use the recovery CD? It will be formatted?
And if this is the case, how can I reinstall winXP Home without losing the data on the second drive?

You can install the OS on the first partition only and all data saved on the second partition will not be deleted. To do this procedure of departure recovery and after choosing the language button tablecloth call SETUP. It is placed on the right side.

If I like what you must remember he chose the second option. The first one can be used when you want to create the new partition (DO NOT choose this one).

Bye and good luck!

  • Satellite L300-110 - how to recover without losing any data on the HARD drive?

    Hi all
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-110

    The question is how can I recover my laptop with the recovery DVD without losing all the data located in the hard drive?

    I confirm the information published by Luke.
    The HARD drive and all other partitions should be formatted using the recovery disk.
    Why? The recovery disc sets the laptop to factory settings and to this end, the HARD drive must be formatted first.

    That is why it s is strongly recommended to back up the data if you want to use the recovery disk.

  • Is this possible in double database on another server without losing any data on the auxiliary database?

    Hi guys.

    I have following scenario

    -i have a backup game compressed a database in NOARCHIVELOG mode.

    DB version: 11.2.0.1

    Name of the comic book source: has

    Name of the comic in double: diferent Pentecost B file structure.



    Can someone help me please?

    The target and duplicate database cannot have the same ID duplicate so is not what you need. If you have FOO database on a server and want to copy to FOO on server B, with a different file structure, then simply copy the RMAN backupsets to Server B, and restore the database by renaming the data files. There are many examples on the web.

  • Files corrupted win 7; can I fix it without losing any data?

    I have a HPp7 - 1137c.  6gig ram.  Win7.  I corrupted files win 7; can I fix it without losing any data?

    Hello:

    I don't know why some programs that you have installed have disappeared after the repair process.

    Yes, the method of reinstalling windows without losing files is correct as long as you don't let windows not delete or format the partition.

    What happens is that it creates a Windows.old folder and you can copy all your files from windows.old to the new facility.

    However, you will need to reinstall all your programs, because there will be only a simplified version of Windows 7 installed with no program.

    This is the method I use (I still have my files backed up just in case), but it's so easy to go in the windows.old folder and transfer my files and internet favorite folders from the windows.old folder to the new installation of windows.

  • How can I sync my iPhone and Apple Watch to a new computer without losing any data?

    I'm about to fix my laptop and I need to change my iTunes on PC. But I don't want to lose any data on the health of the Apple Watch.

    Copy of the data of all iTunes from the laptop to PC will have all my apps and music. But what about the backup? They are encrypted to record data on the health of my Apple Watch.

    Can I copy and paste the encrypted data backup iTunes?

    Please I need help.

    Move an encrypted backup from one computer to another value may not work, but as long as no device should be restored now you should be able to migrate from the library to the new computer and then take a fresh encrypted backup of each device.

    Migrate a library iTunes from one computer to another

    These are two approaches that work normally to move an existing library to a new computer.

    Method 1

    1. Save the library with this trick of the user.
    2. Remove the old computer if you no longer wish to access content protected on it.
    3. Restore the backup to your new computer by using the same tool used to back it up.
    4. Keep your current backup in the future.

    Method 2

    Connect the two computers on the same network. Share your old computer < user music > folder and copy the folder of library full iTunes in the < user music > on the new folder. Yet once, remove the old computer so is no longer necessary.

    These two methods should give the new computer, a clone of the library work which was on the former. What about iTunes is it is still the 'home' for your devices library you should not have problems with iTunes will erase and reload.

    I recommend method 1 because it establishes a current backup for your library.

    Note If you have iOS devices and that you have not reached your contacts and calendar all in all items, then you need to create a dummy entry in your new profile and iTunes expected to merge existing data from the device.

    If your media folder has been separated in the main folder of iTunes, you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a library of portable split.

    If you are in the unfortunate position where you're able to access your original library or a backup and then see recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device to get tips on how to configure your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Reinstall Windows without losing personal files

    I have an external hard drive I have Windows 7 on, but recently it seems to have got some corrupted files because it does not start. It gets past the windows splash screen, and then sits down with a cursor on a black screen. I can move the mouse cursor.

    I think that the best way to solve this problem would be to reinstall all windows files.

  • How can I update with a version without losing any data?

    I have a ZTE open regularly update with custom versions. Whenever I do this, I lose all my data on the phone, like contacts, applications installed in the store of market parameters (including wireless and send the parameters).

    All these data and recovery each time settings is extremely annoying. Is there a way to not lose in the process or to save them and repristining them later?

    Hi Enrico,.

    I know that for import/export of contacts, you can use the following commands:

    • to export contacts (excerpt):
    adb pull /data/local/indexedDB/chrome db
    

    This will store all the data of your device in a folder (in this case, called db) that is created when you opened your shell.

    • to restore (push) back of the unit:
    adb push db /data/local/indexedDB/chrome
    

    Following Github repository offers other tools and scripts for flashing, restore and backup of Gaia:

    I just tried to backup/restore a few times in the past, but it did not work as expected. Feel free to test them with caution. =)

    Thank you!!
