I was not able to complete the full implementation of the solution Dell Direct USB key due to various problems.  .    Dell ended up sending me a new Windows 7 HARD disk image.   I have now the laptop up and running again with Windows 7 and have various applications installed.   That's all pretty well.  But now how do I get my data files restored?   Basically, I want to connect the external drive to backup and complete step 19 of the solution, as described below.


Here are the steps OS using the Dell USB key: 

1. Boot from the Direct USB Key by tapping F12 at the Dell logo, then select the
USB Memory Key option from the boot device menu. 

2. Accept the Dell End User License Agreement (EULA) by clicking the box next to
Accept, scroll down till the end of the license agreement and then click on
continue. 

3. On this screen, the usb key gives an overview of the process it is about to
perform, click continue when ready to proceed. 

4. The Smart Repair solution runs a surface scan on the system to identify any
errors with the boot record or the startup files. If any errors are found, they
are automatically corrected. 

5. Once the process completes, there will be an analysis summary, in this case,
there is no issue found by the smart repair, click continue. 

6. In this window the user can select what data they would like to back up, they
can either go with the default backup solution or they can click select more to
select more files for backup, click continue after selecting files for backup. 

7. If user clicks on select more, they will get the screen below, they can go
ahead and select the necessary data for backup by checking the box next to the
respective folder, sub-directories are selected by default once the root folder
is selected. 

8. The user will be prompted to attach a USB hard drive to the system, user
needs to connect the USB Hard drive at this point and click continue. 

9. Once the solution detects the USB hard drive , it goes ahead with file
backup. 

10. Once the files are backed up, the solution will back up the user personal
settings. 

11. The Direct USB Key displays a summary of the data and personal settings
backup. Click continue. 

12. The Direct USB key then proceeds to install the operating system image on
the system. 

13. Once the operating system image is transferred, the drivers are also
transferred. 

14. After the operating system image and driver transfer, a summary page comes
up giving the user information as to what process was performed successfully and
what failed. The user needs to remove the USB key at this point and click
restart. 

15. The system restarts and comes to a flash screen on recovery and restore. 

16. After the flash screen, the applications start installing. 

17. Once the applications are installed, the user would see a summary screen
informing them that the Operating system has been restored, connect the Direct
USB Key and click restart. 

18. After the restart the user will be prompted to connect the data backup hard
drive and then click continue. 

19. The files and personal settings are then restored from the USB backup drive. 

20. After the files are transferred the system comes to the desktop with a pop
up window informing the user to check the device manager for any exclamation
marks, the tool also guides the user to download the drivers from the support
site and the applications from My Dell Downloads and Dell Digital Delivery. User
needs to select the check box to prevent the message from being displayed again
and click close. 

=============================================

What program/utility can be used to run step 19  to restore my data?
Thanks in advance!
 
         
        

The Windows Migration utility (MigRestore) was obtained from Dell, decompressed and Support execution of data taken with the backup restore.

  • Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not the Lightroom Catalog) from one external drive to another?

    How to restore backed up files (not the lightroom catalog) from one external drive to another.

    I've recently saved my photo files to one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy clone) pointed out some files corrupt on the original drive.

    I deleted these files and find good copies of Time Machine backups.

    I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main outside and then save it to a new disc.

    I'm not sure how everything is point lightroom for backups so he knows look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all points of exclamation and question marks go away.

    There are close to 60 000 images in several files with a 'parent folder."

    My best guess is Lightroom Help - create and manage folders - locate missing files

    Can I point to the folder of one of their parents, and all of the subfolders will return?

    This is the process for recovering files in lightroom and there will be a problem with so many photos?

  • How to restore Win7 backup on the new system and drive Action Center repair after disk crash

    I have a Dell which took a 64-bit disk crash.

    I created there is not long from the center of the Action, a disk repair and backup of the C: drive on a backup USB 1 TB drive.  These two events has been made by the Windows 7 Action Center.

    I have a new installation disk in the system to replace the one that crashed.

    Is it as simple restore system on the new drive that boot from the ERD and then recognizes the USB disk and backup file Action Center?

    My hypothesis is the combination of the ERD and backup Action Center will bring my system to date content calendar when they were created?

    Problems to watch?

    If your image is on a connected USB external drive, you may need to install a drive to the external hard drive in the installation process.  So you should find a driver for it and store it on a USB key so that you can install it when asked.

    Starting the system on the ERD is simple and still works.  Just press F12 at first then select the DVD drive and click Yes.

  • Pavilion dm4 2191us: restoring a backup made with HP Recovery Manager - data recovery manager has since been removed

    My system (portable Pavilion dm4, Win 7 Home Premium x 64)) is works well but I would like to restore a backup of data made with HP Recovery Manager. HP Recovery Manager has since been removed from the system and I don't have a recovery disk. I tried to install sp45415 that supposedly runs a silent installation for the Recovery Manager program, but it fails silently on my system. The notes say that it applies to Windows 7 computers and the Pavilion dm1 and dm3. There is no mention of the dm4.

    Y at - there a trick to getting sp45415 to work properly?

    Y at - it somewhere that I can download an installation package for HP Recovery Manager that works on the Pavilion dm4?

    Is there another tool that can restore the backup made by HP Recovery Manager?

    Thank you!

    If you have uninstalled Recovery Manager he probably removed the recovery of files in the recovery partition. When these files are not deleted download Recovery Manager will install. You will need a recovery media to boot from to restore the files and the recovery partition. If you do not have a recovery media you order from HP.

    As for the files you are trying to restore - if it's a backup of personal files, photos, etc. to the outside hard disk or DVD must be a file .exe inside these files, probably of Restore.exe or Recover.exe. Double click on the .exe will extract files to a folder on the hard drive of your laptop.

  • How to delete a backup image of the computer?

    Last week I had to format my hard drive of the PC (I won't go into details, but a certain SQL Server 2008 SP1 was the culprit).

    I reinstalled Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit and spent 5 days to install my apps and all the updates of windows (SQL Server 2008 SP1, the exception ;-)).

    When I got the message saying that there is no update available, I made a full backup pc on my drive hard usb.

    A few hours later, Windows told me there was an update available: nothing less than Windows Vista SP1!

    So I downloaded the SP1 and installed.

    I didn't want to end up with two all backups of pc (I was sure that SP1 had produced changes to the massive file), so I deleted, from Windows Explorer, computer backup image file in my drive hard usb.

    When I ran "backup status and Configuration - backup of the computer", he said that, since there was already a complete pc upward in my drive hard usb (which is not true, I deleted it!), going to back up only new and changed files... I had no other choice, so I made the back up and found it was actually a partial upward (I can tell because the size of the backup, the original was almost 50 GB and the second one was 31 GB).

    I went on the MSDN forums and found I could do two things:

    (a) change the registry to remove all values full them pc backup keys.
    (b) format my USB HDD.

    I've done both. The second it took me almost all day today (copy + / 200 GB of my hard drive on my HDD to the PC, formatting the USB drive and copy back the +/-200 GB).

    When I tried to make my backup of the computer, it says "this computer has not been saved.

    I sighed and thought: "it was worthwhile, I will have as a backup of the computer!

    But no, it was not to be.

    When I arrived at the final stage before actually to support to the top of my pc, the program says "the backup can take up to 55 GB of disk space. "Because a previous backup until already exists... that the differences will be saved."

    It makes no sense at all... Did someone there with the knowledge of how to delete a backup image (for good) complete pc so a new (full, incremental) can be produced?

    I think that being able to add/remove the backup images is a core feature.

    Thank you for your help,

    Hi Sergio Torres,

    Sorry for the delay getting back to you.  I'll pass your program for better Assistant forum post since this is related to a set of program with Vista rather than a security/privacy issue.  We will track a little to the original problem that you can't get Windows backup to recognize the backup of the image has already been deleted and the need to create a new backup full rather than an incremental backup.  Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

    It's the MSDN article, you mentioned, correct?
    http://Channel9.msdn.com/posts/keithcombs/Windows-Vista-complete-PC-Backup-and-recovery/

    What you have done with success:
    1 / deleted the registry key related to Windows backup
    2 / use Disk Clean Up tool to remove the backup
    3 / appropriate and completely remove the WindowsImageBackup directory
    4 / format the USB all together.

    If you already completed these steps successfully, then the error will be with a setting in Windows that always store the old backup file list.  I found this suggestion in the newsgroup Vista, give it a shot to see how it goes.

    "Hi Tim,

    because the backup is deleted out of band - it is always saved in the backup catalog. This is because the application always displays the text that is incorrect.

    It will be first - come back to the full backup if the previous version is not available on the backup location. It is only the user interface that notifies badly as I mentioned above.

    If you want the application to forget * all * older backups - you can launch a high command prompt. type the command line-
    WBADMIN delete catalog.
