How to restore a previous backup on a new install of XP Pro and HARD disk?

I have experienced HARD drive failure last week and has spent a lot of time trying to retrieve the data. I have a previous backup on an external drive, but when I try to restore the files to a new HARD disk with a new installation of XP Pro - files copy them all, but none of the programs or features network work?

I was going to just to reinstall everything from scratch and just use the recovered data and log files after all the programs I use for my business back... Is there an easier way? Why Windows does not support a backup feature when it does not replicate the system on a new HARD drive correctly or I do something wrong? I can access is no longer the disc HARD death after that I got everything I could out of it (2 x backup and a copy of all important files) before it just completely fried.

I bought a new HARD drive and installed XP then tried restoring the system to a new HARD disk and all the files are there, but not where they all should be (My Documents is empty and aka 'Of Joe Documents' are stored in a separate folder elsewhere in the new HARD drive) and none of my programs work properly - my antivirus software (CA Security Suite 2009) is , but continues to tell me that none of this is installed. Microsoft Office does not work - tells me that it's just a trial - and Outlook will not retrieve my emails, Outlook looks like not even the same. None of my networks will work with other office machines, but somehow, I have access to the internet through the network...!

I have to format the new HARD drive in the same directory that the backup was of? (he's currently: / instead of C: / for some reason any) And the name of the account PC should be accurate? (he is currently Documents of Pete Peter's Documents instead).

I feel blurred by microsoft because I myself prepared for something as it happens and now my company is still paralyzed because the backup does not restore the functionality of my system. Please tell me if I did something wrong and I don't have to buy all my software licenses again after reinstalling ALL my software that has already been restored from a backup. I spent the last few days to Google search without result.

Hello
the only problem with restoring a backup, it's that the hd would be slower than a new installation
you bring all the baggage (junk, dup files, etc.) as well as the good things with it...

    I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

    You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

    You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

    Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

    Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

  • How to restore a previous session to a record of old data of Firefox?

    There was a power outage today while I was start of Firefox and the computer shut down instantly. Later, when I tried to open Firefox again, he started glitching, with the option to restore Session only resulting in empty tabs. I refreshed Firefox and now I have an "Old Firefox Data" folder.

    I have a folder of sessionrestore-backups in this folder, a file 'previous.js '. How to use this file (or other folder) to access my lost session? It is possible at all?

    Thanks for any help.

    You can find these files in the sessionstore-backup folder:

    previous.js (cleanBackup: copy of sessionstore.js from previous session that was loaded successfully)
    recovery.js (latest version of the sessionstore written during runtime)
    recovery.bak (previous version of the sessionstore written during runtime)
    upgrade.js-<build_id> (backup created during an upgrade of Firefox)
    

    You can copy a file in the sessionstore-backup folder to the main profile and rename sessionstore.js file to replace the current file (make a backup of the current sessionstore.js).

    2. click on restore and then follow the steps.

    OK so I have time machines of my old hard drive, installed my new and raid 0' ed them.

After the restoration, the computer stops and recharge, but then crashes to the screen with the apple logo. Someone knows the right way that I should be restore? I tried just do a plain redownliad of my bootable disk but it says it did not work and may have been corrupted. I tried deleti g and recreate my raid 0, the same message...

    Hi Isakale,

    I understand that you're having trouble for OS X installed and restored from your Time Machine backup. In a situation where you work with a configuration of non standard volume for your OS X installation, you can consider installing OS X of the recovery of the Internet, the upgrade to the desired version of Mac OS X via the App Store, then your Time Machine data migration using the Migration Wizard, rather than recovery.

    Migration Wizard copies all your files to your new Mac so that you do not have to the do it manually. If your files are currently on a Windows PC, follow the steps in the migration of the PC instead. If your new Mac uses OS X Mountain Lion or earlier, follow the steps of Mountain Lion instead.

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204350

    Recent Macs include the ability to run directly from a Web OS X Recovery version. Your Mac will automatically use this feature when the recovery on the startup disk system is not available. For example, if your boot drive is a problem, or if your boot drive has been replaced or deleted. Recovery of the Internet allows you to start your Mac directly from Apple servers. This system starts running a quick test of your memory and the hard disk to check for hardware problems.

    Recovery of the Internet initially asking you to select a Wi - Fi network and enter a password for the network if necessary. Then Internet recovery downloads and starts from a system recovery image. From there on, offers the same options and utilities like system recovery on a startup disk.

    Some Mac shipped with OS X Snow Leopard can use Internet after installation of OS X Lion or later and a software update.

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201314

    If you want to reinstall the version of Mac OS X included with your Mac, store the command-Option-R at the start instead. This starts your Mac recovery of the Internet.

  • How to restore the previous download UI Toolbox in FF26?

    Updated to FF26 earlier today. Earlier, I noticed that the Download Manager is different, it is rather the new version which is available for some time. I've been using the older Toolbox that was available in previous versions through everything: configuration and activation of the option of the Toolbox. This option is always checked as true, but the Toolbox is the same (most recent version).

    How can I go back to the older download Toolbox without restoring a previous version?

  • How to restore my first backup of a DVD-R disc and subsequently two other backups? I don't have a computer image.

    I opened the options in system recovery Menu, but I have not anywhere; System 32 (?) was one of the optiions.  Is it possible to see/read the date/info on these discs?  Stickers for info I put on the discs came out.
    Also, how do I restore / turn on SuperFetch?  I've never heard, and I have no idea of what I did.

    Thanks a bunch!
    Cat.Collector

    Hello

    ·        How did you created a backup of the system?

    You can't save backups to regular system on CD or DVD image and according to the amount of data you have, it might take several CDs or DVDs to keep your backup and you would need to store and keep track of each of them.

    You will need to boot to the desktop in order to be able to read the files that are there in your DVD.

    1. you can go to the computer by clicking the Start button and then select the DVD drive letter (x :)) and do a right-click and then select Properties, then you will be able to see the date.)

    2. to see the news in the DVD, you should double click on the drive letter.

    SuperFetch has two purposes: it decreases startup time, and makes sure that you use the most loading applications more effectively. SuperFetch also takes the calendar counts, because it will adapt to your usage patterns.

    To activate the SuperFetch follow the steps mentioned below.

    1. load the Serviceswindow by typing services.msc inStart search.

    2. Once opened, locate the SuperFetch key.

    3. now double-click the SuperFetch key and it will open the Properties dialog window.

    4. here, you can Toggle it by changing the dropdown to Toggle.

    5. There is another interesting option called Automatic (delayed start), this will start superfetching after a certain time during the startup.

    6. stop superfetching immediately, press the Stop button.
