How to restore my backup on external hard drive system

I did a windows image backup of my Vista system on a Seagate external hard drive. Now I want to restore my system from the backup, but restore in control panel procedures does not recognize the files. Version of Vista professional, Service Pack 2. I tried Virtual PC, and vhd mounting procedures.

Hello

read this tutorial on how to do

To restore a full backup of the computer, you must proceed within the Windows recovery environment. To access the Windows recovery environment, you will need to insert your Vista DVD in the DVD drive on your computer and turn on your computer. The computer starts and you see the BIOS lists the hardware on your computer, and other information. When this information has been disabled, your computer will see that a bootable DVD is inserted and present a prompt similar to the Figure 1 below.

etc.

    How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery because I want to recover my toshiba satellite L840 that does not respond directly to my hard drive so I put my laptop to an external HARD drive and then I want to copy a DVD recovery partition

    Your question is a bit confusing, you can boot the laptop at all? Have you tried booting in safe mode, you can make a recovery DVD set from there, the folder Toshiba.

    With the drive in the Toshiba, you should be able to use a F, F10, F11, or F12 key to activate the installation from the partition hidden started upward.

    Otherwise, you can contact Toshiba, and with the model of the product id number and the laptop for Windows, you can buy a set of disks.

  • Backup on external hard drive problems...

    I can't backup to external hard drive, it starts and does not say "Device not ready" then I tried to back up my laptop outside even hard without any problem. Could it be, if I tried a different USB port on my desktop external hard disk... Any other ideas please...

    Concerning

    Have you tried another USB port (your post is unclear)?

    The external hard drive has its own power supply or just connect with a USB cable?  If there is no separate power supply, disconnect all other USB devices (except keyboard and mouse) and see if that helps.

    The external drive shows in my computer?  If so, what happens when you double-click it?

    Don't show external drive in disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)?  If so, a drive letter is assigned? If so, what is reported to the layout, Type, file system and status?

    Only the external drive shows in Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK) to the title of "hard disks"?  If Yes, what is displayed when you double-click on and look at 'Device status' and 'Use of the device' in the general tab?

  • How to make a Time Capsule external hard drive backup

    Hi I just got a time capsule airport which I backed up on my iMac.  I have an external seagate HD plugged on my mac via USB.  I have a catalog photo large library and adobe lightroom on the external hard drive I use and change almost every day. These files are NOT stored on my computer because they take so much space that I would like to keep the separate external disk.  It was my hope to keep a backup on my time capsule on a regular basis with my backup of the iMac.  I have time machine configured to backup from my mac, and then under options, I have seen the drive seagate showing as excluded.  I removed excluded readers and click Save. However I don't think during backup that he actually saved these files because the capsule still shows as have plenty of available disk space.  When I opened the options again shows seagate always excluded.

    so question is can I save the iMac and the external hard drive at the same time?

    If this is not the case, what is the work around for this thing saved?

    thnx

    The Seagate disk should be in Mac Mac OS extended (journaled)format, also known as HFS +, if you want that Time Machine to back up your Mac.

    Do you know how the Seagate drive is formatted?  If it isn't... . Right click on on the icon of the Seagate drive which is mounted on the Mac desktop, and then click read the information. In the window that appears, look for the Format.

    What do you see when you check the Format?

  • How to import bookmarks from an external hard drive?

    I exported my favorites from firefox on an external hard drive. Now I have a new laptop, but do not know how to transfer these back to firefox bookmarks.

    It is no different to import from a hard drive on your own machine. The external hard drive has a drive letter on the same way as a HD internal.

    Just use the reverse procedure, you made to export the file i.e. choose "Import HTML" instead of "export HTML".

    If you saved it in. JSON format, then choose 'Restore' in the menu "import and backup" instead.

    then format my HDD,
    and then restore from an external hard drive?

    Also my computer does not work since the external hard drive
    without restoring the internal hard disk.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Hello

    Welcome to the community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. I'll certainly try and help you perform the backup.

    Windows Backup backup all folders selected the first run and then it only backs up files that are new or have been modified since the last backup was made. Periodically, Windows creates a new, full of back up. Each full backup is called in a backup. When you view your backups of files, you can see all the backup periods with date ranges.

    Meet your respective questions:

    1. Yes, you can backup your data to the external hard drive (250 GB) disk hard.

    2. Yes, after taking the back upward, you can format your hard drive.

    3. Yes, the reinstallation of Windows 7, you can also restore the backup of data from the external hard drive.

    4. no, you will not be able to start the computer from the external hard drive (hard drive backup).

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below in the Microsoft article:

  • How do say I have this external hard drive more Time machine?

    I keep all my personal documents on an external drive that is still connected to my Mac via USB. For the purpose of this question, we will call it this disc "Lagavulin".

    In addition, I have a Time Capsule. Time Machine is configured to record its backups on the time Capsule.

    TimeMachine performs regular backups of my complete system, including the operating system, applications and settings internal to the Mac disk, as well as my personal documents that are on the external hard drive "Lagavulin".

    A few weeks ago "Lagavulin" behaved erratically, so I bought a new external drive to replace it. Let's call it "Ardbeg.

    I have all my files from "Lagavulin" to 'Ardbeg' in reverse. Then I threw it "Lagavulin" in the Trash because his performance was getting worse and worse. The transfer went very well, and all my files are fine.

    I put TimeMachine to include "Ardbeg" in its future backups.

    The problem is that TimeMachine still thinks that I have "Lagavulin", even if I is no longer the branch. When I access TimeMachine and look what is recorded in it, it always includes the files on "Lagavulin" in its most recent backups. Thus, each current backup has "MacintoshHD" (system files), "Ardbeg" (personal records) and "Lagavulin" (old version of the personal folders).

    How can I know TimeMachine that I own is no longer "Lagavulin"?
