How to restore vista OPS hard drive external bitlocker encrypted after main disk failure

I am running Vista Ultimate and my main hard drive is encrypted by Bitlocker.  I use the backup utility in Vista for backup of that my drive hard main set on a USB attached hard drive which is also encrypted by Bitlocker.  In a case of failure of the primary hard drive and installing a new hard drive, how can I restore my main hard drive (the new drive) to the USB attached bitlocker encrypted external hard? My vista ultimate OPS has been upgraded to the origin of vista home premium and so I did not have the ultimate Setup DVD disk.  I have the disk of vista Home premium.

Create a recovery disk that the restoration of the backup complete on this topic option (including family Vista drive premium will be not because this option is only available on the Enterprise and Ultimate versions)-should not do anything on bitlocker on it (which will take care of itself during the restore process unless you configure to use a flash drive for protection - then the flash player is also required {but) not a recovery disk different}).  You can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD (including backup complete PC Restore).  Be sure to get the drive to boot correctly - there are several ways to make records and this requires a way for it to work (but those that are included in the manual or on the website).

For more information, here's a great article on bitlocker with Vista.   It does not exactly cover your question, but it is very instructive in the process and the technology (and might help you if you are facing a problem on the road) and its good information to have if you use bitlocker (which can be difficult and can cause problems of recovery if you do not just because of the extra complication of encryption (backup and restore). http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.06.bitlocker.aspx.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • How can I restore my computer encrypted bitlocker to an external hard drive for bitlocker encrypted after main disk failure?

    I backup that my bitlocker encrypted computer running vista ultimate on an attached USB harddrive external also encrypted by bitlocker.  I have the password both on a USB stick and written down.

    You can restore to normal full image (well close to normal) just using the USB Flash drive and a hard disk formatted, white (with a system partition at least as large as the partition which it replaced)- and, of course, the backup drive.  I see no reason why a bitlocker recovery will be different - after all, it's just not added encryption process (although the exact procedure may vary because you may need to supply a password to authenticate the restore function and decrypt the files as they are restored - that's why it doesn't happen on the CD).  Of course, this means that you must have done a full image backup using bitlocker (not a full backup or a file backup).

  • How can I connect a HARD drive external through terminal to display a hidden folder.

    I keep all my important data in a dmg encrypted in a folder hidden in my mac (I know, I'm a little paranoid), long story short, my mac HARD drive wiped. Luckily I had a backup, but is on an external HARD disk and the file is still hidden, I can't understand how to access (I have tried to view all the hidden files on my mac, did not work). So the question is, how to find the folder hidden on my external HARD drive? I have done it before by terminal but forgot the command. >:| BTW, I'm in Yosemite.

    Thanks in advance.

    invisible files begin with a.

    CD to the directory where the file is located.

    LS - a

    shows all files, including those with a. at the beginning of their name.

    named files. and... are up and down links in the chain of directory - do not modify.

  • How to restore the Mac hard drive folders on 'Open', 'save' and ' Save as '?

    I very recently installed in Yosemite. Shortly after, I went to save an image in a folder "Images", but was surprised to find that not only the folder 'Images' have not shown, but no record showed. Only my Mac hard drive and, in the devices section, three external hard drives attached through it. The only way to make pictures has been to start with the hard drive and browse it. A process of waste of time. So far, all other programs I saved or open documents of Interior still show all photos. This problem seems to be isolated to Photoshop. I checked that all through Photoshop preferences but can find no way to restore it as it was. Help will be appreciated.

    You can try to reset the 2015 cc photoshop preferences by going to your user library

    (To view your user library, click on your desktop, click the Go menu and hold down the Option key.

    Then you should see the words of library, which is your user library.

    ~/Library/preferences)

    and by dragging the folder settings Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 in the trash

    Also let slide paths in Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 and com.adobe.Photoshop.plist in the trash as well and see if screw up these elements makes a difference.

    Bad, bad. Buddy. Generally, you need to create the recovery to the first disk using the laptop.
    T did not read the user manual? Didn't you see the reminder?
    It s always recommended to create the recovery disk!

    > I've heard to restore the system to the L300, it must use its recovery disk, right?
    Yes, you are right. In order to restore the Vista, you must use the recovery disc!

    > The original system is vista. When I tried to insert a xp disc, it showed error after all the loading "stop: 0x0000007b...". "Could someone tell me how to handle?
    I think that it does not work because of controller SATA HDD.
    Either you'll assign compatible SATA mode (in BIOS)
    Or you must include the Windows XP SATA drivers.

    Check the HowTo of this forum area to get some details how to integrate the SATA (AHCI drivers) in Win XP.

  • System of records of documents & settings migrated to HD external backup. Is no longer on the C: drive. How to restore to the C: drive?

    PC switched on and I tried to open outlook.  Received the message:
    The path specified for the file G:\Documents and Settings\Ray Bush\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\archive.pst is not valid.
    Known as the G: drive is a disk external hard Lacie to be used for back up, although it has been used to store data of previous Windows XP/Office 2007 extracted from the HD system crashed.
    When the above message has been received, the G: drive was not connected. Once it has been connected, archive.pst became available.
    It seems that the Documents & Settings folder system has migrated to the external hard drive backup and is therefore no longer on the C: drive, or at least I can see it there.  Can I just drag and drop the folder Documents and Settings of the G: drive system into the c: (about 750MB)?
    How to restore to the C: drive without doing something drastic is going to lose the settings and configuration?  Why what happened?  Can I prevent that from happening in the future? Is there a conflict between Lacie 500 Gb external SSD and internal Intel 520 Series 120 GB SSD SATA3?

    Hello

    Win 7 and Win 8, Documents and Settings is a folder hidden, locked, unlike XP.

    Documents, videos, photos and etc are now included in the C:\Users\User name, and that's where your installed programs will send them.

    You can change their default location, and your software usually sends to the new location because of the way it is redirected.

    I don't think anything has moved physically now that I re-read your post.

    You say the keyword but... it has been imported into the new perspective.

    When a program is something important, is usually not a physical copy of the file. It basically accesses its location of origin, as if the imported file is just a shortcut to the original.

    Your Outlook was simply looking for the file to its actual location through the 'shortcut '.

    Most all programs have an OPTIONS, PREFERENCES, or SETTINGS button somewhere.

    Search through the links at the top of File, Edit, help, etc. It should be in one of these if ut doesn't have its own icon... a gear, for example.

  • How do clone you a hard drive on a P6770T

    Background: I have a P6770T Office, number of product XX204AV #ABA, OS: Windows 7 Home 64 bit service pack 1.

    Partitions: C: 685 GB D: 12.7 GB (recovery), Q: 0GO (MS Office 2010 protected).

    Question: I would like to add a second hard drive to the PC as a clone.   First of all, a second internal hard drive can be added (is there a location for the drive and a SATA cable port)?    Second, how do clone you a hard drive with the three partitions, as described above?    I need instructions for cooking book style because I'm a newbee.      Thank you.

    It is usually best to make a clone with an external drive. It makes no sense given the power (spinning). Seagate and WD offer similar programs, called 'DiskWizard '.

    What you'll need:

    (1) software cloning (I'll link Seagate) download the utility and download from this page user's Guide.

    (2) buy a 1 t Seagate drive (like your hard drive is a nominal 750Go).

    more than you will need:

    (3) Sata Drive enclosure includes ESata rail.

  • Restore the virtual hard drive backup on a different node with different IP and host name.

    Hi guys,.
    I want to do the following.

    My reliable backup strategy is the virtual hard drive backup. The database is installed on a virtual particulay machine (node). Now, I do not take the backup of the DBF files or control files or files from archive.
    I rely on the virtual hard disk backup. It takes the entire Virtual Machine backup. Now, I wanted to restore this virtual hard drive backup to a different node with different IP and host name.
    But before I start the database, there are some things I need to do.
    As change address IP address and the hostname registered with the database installed and its services.

    Please guide me through the steps on how to perform the activity.

    Concerning
    Lam...
    SOA admin.

    I think that the whole operating system will be restored in a new virtual machine... I have it... The changes will have to be done in the file listener.ora (hostname or IPADDRESS and also PORT NO in case you want another port as the existing one). Once you have made the changes that you have to bounce the listener, I mean stop and start the listener... I don't think that any other changes are needed... Make sure that the same need for entries (from the listener) to be included in the TNSNAMES file. ORA file both client-side... The tns service is used to connect to the remote database server (from the demand side or whatever source you used to connect to the database server)... I just think that the change to do... Hope its clear... Please try...

The thing is, I don't know how to access the 2nd internal hard drive and where to start. I did all of the following commands in the Terminal, but I don't really know what they mean, and what can I do with this information. I've been Googling but most are guides on how to install a 2nd hard drive etc. I hope that the information below is enough for someone to give me advice please?

    Hallo Malc

    It is possible that you have removed the external device without using the option remove the device safely. Restart the machine and try again.

    Otherwise, you can remove all ports USB device manager and start option to add material on the list. After detection and installation it should work again.
