  • Need to backup all programs and files without the System Image

    Hi all

    Recently, I myself in a dilemma. I installed 4 additional disks with the intention of creating a RAID volume supported by the BIOS. To do this, I need to change the BIOS setting of the controller which includes all the volumes, including my boot drive (that I don't intend to RAID). The problem I have is that when I pass the UEFI to RAID controller, Windows Recovery will not use the System Image I did. He said that the volume was created under a different arrangement (Bios vs. EFI).

    What are my options? Is there a different backup setting, which allows to keep all my installed software? I am not concerned with the data that I can copy it to an external volume, but it would take several days to get all of my software reinstalled. I would like to avoid this. I guess I'll have to reinstall Windows Pro 8.1 and then use a backup program to restore everything. If this is the case, then I need to know which backup program will work. If there is a better way, I would like to know. I see my options in the form, get another backup program, get a map of controller for the boot drive or the RAID volume or just reinstall.

    Thank you

  • 2 operating systems: Windows 7 makes all folders and files on another partition (Windows XP) read-only! What now?

    2 operating systems: Windows XP and Windows 7

    Windows 7 is to make all the folders and files on another partition (Windows XP) read-only!

    Once, I opened a file from "My Documents" from XP in Windows 7.

    But when I Wen back to Windows XP.

    But while starting up, I got a lot of error messages:

    Access denied!

    When I am gone to Windows 7 yet once I noticed that all records on the other partition where unalterable.

    But after I tried to void that lookt again to see if she had cancelled it.

    But he remains unalterable reports!

    I have lookt on Google and Bing, but could not find someone with the same problem!

    Now it works!

    I used these 10 steps to solve the problem!

    10 STEPS TO GET FULL CONTROL ON a FILE / FOLDER / PARTITION (Microsoft Windows Xp):

    1. press F8

    2. select Safe Mode

    3. log in with an administrator account

    3. go into the properties of the folder / partition / file that you cannot access

    4. Select security and then advanced

    5. in 'owners' define yourself as an owner (if it is not defined)

    6. click on 'Ok '.

    7 configure yourself: make sure you clickt on the box "Total control" (allow)

    8. click 'OK' and then 'apply '.

    9 reboot

    10. the test (if it still does not, try again a few times)

    And then it worked!

  • How I can run XP and Win7 on separate hard drives and one PC?

    I had a HD crash all using XP Pro. I bought a new 1 TB hard drive. I got a free upgrade to Win7 with my PC. I proceeded to program my new hard drive with XP and made good.  When I bnotted I was asked if I wanted to go to Win7 or if I wanted to an earlier version. Worked pretty well.  2 OS - XP Pro and Win7 with their own hard drive.

    Last week, I discovered 2 very important programs have to use XP. I bought another hard drive; and now my life is quickly falling away.  I have worked with Dell throughout the day and have the first hard drive using XP but I'm having some difficulties to paginate in Win7.  He suggested, I use the function F2 to setup and change the sequence of boot but that takes a lot of extra time. And now my (currently (E) CR reader contains a description of hard disk)

    Can anyone provide a solution to this.

    Help a dummy! Please, I beg you!

  • Read only folders and files on external hard drive

    Windows 7 keeps setting the already existing folders and files on my external hard drive for read only. I used the Properties dialog box to remove read-only from the folder and all subfolders and files. This seems to run correctly, but of course, this isn't.

    It is a serious aggravation and wonder if there is a fix that I have not been able to find. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I understand that after saving a file with a different name, her attribute "removes the read-only" you have no problem with again to change. If the problem is related only to files that have been previously registered with Windows XP.

    You can try this: move one of the old files on your desktop > make sure that the read-only attribute is not checked > bring it back to your external drive > check is possible to edit now. If it will work, you can just do this for all your files, simply by copying both.

    ...

    I also wonder what users are listed under security settings: right click on the file > properties > Security tab. It should be rated "everyone" in its own right.

  • If I do not have a windows vista sp2 install disk how can I erase all programs and files from the laptop?

    I would remove ALL of my laptop which is running vista Sp2 and I have not a disk to install it from what can do?

    Hello

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    __________________________________________________________

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

  • Keep all programs and files on a CD, so there is nothing on the computer

    Hello

    In years past, I used to keep all my files and programs on a "floppy". I can do this in Vista, so there is nothing but the OS and the A / virus on the HARD drive, and when I use the computer, I just loaded my CD, and then select the files or the programs I want to use.

    On a floppy disk? Then you had very little information and very little, very small
    programs.

    Two separate issues here:
     
    1. you can do with the data (if you have little evidence enough that it is
    fits on a CD). There is no problem, except that you must think
    all with no copy of this CD, as backup.
     
    2. you can * not * do with programs (with the exception of one very occasional
    -generally small and simple program). The programs must be installed on
    the hard drive. And this isn't a Vista problem, there is a problem with all
    versions of Windows.

  • all programs and files in the menu start (excpet 4-5) have disappeared.

    I use vista.  When I click on the start menu, there are no programs not listed and when I choose all PROGRAMS there are only 8 folders listed.

    I stopped twice and logged on as user admin and regular with the same results.  All of these programs were here 2 days ago (do not use computer yesterday).

    I can use Explorer to open files on the c drive and the programs open from there without any problem.

    any suggestions...

    Thank you for your response.

    I did a system restore to 4-5 days before I noticed the problem and still had.  To make a long story short, I went 30 days to discover the culprit.

    I had downloaded a spy software called Comodo a month ago.  I care for her so I unistaleld it.  During uninstallation, he deleted my program files on the start menu.  Rather unusual, I think, so I don't have the time to uninstall a 2nd with the same result.

    I removed the Comodo manually and the system is back to normal.

    See you soon

  • Within the last week, that all the folders and files on my hard drive were selected 'read only '.

    I unflagged all the folders and files that I share on my home network, however, I am not able to rename them or save them on my PC from my laptop on my wireless network. This has happened since May 12 and I suspect an auto update changed or recover from something.

    Running Vista Home Premium SP2 on PC

    Laptop is Windows 7

    Thanks for getting back to me Mick!

    I did a restore to 5/10 when I had no problem, but the problem persisted.

    I'll have to try Norton support. This may be something they did.

    In the meantime, I managed to change the names of files by connecting to the PC with the account of my wife who as co-owner had equal rights and the sign of the laptop is its ID as well so it worked, but it isn't always fair.

    Once again, thank you...

  • How can I transfer all the emails from the old hard drive to a new hard drive, Windows 7

    This transfer of e-mail has some quirk to it.  I am running Windows 7 Professional on a concert of 150 old drive raptor WD with Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.  I'll be installing Windows 7 Professional on the new drive and running Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird and the need to pass all the information the browser and e-mails (with folders) to the appropriate place on the new drive.  I will use the same Windows 7 Professional disk for the operating system on the new drive, and then the old drive will be trashed as soon as the transfer is completed.  What is the best way to transfer the data since I use two different browsers and e-mail clients?  Do I first transfer all on the same type of browser and e-mail on the new disk and then import in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, or can I do a direct transfer to them?

    Hey there James :)

    If your original WD Raptor drive is in good health, have you considered cloning it to the new drive and so keeping everything as it is without the need to reinstall and backup and restore your data to the e-mail and other applications? I suggest to check out Acronis True Image WD Edition for this procedure: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=st8xw8
    I would first of all check if the drive is healthy, as the procedure could transfer some potential errors from the old drive to the new. I would recommend running tool WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic to check the status of the WD Raptor drive. Here's a link: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=p7VtBy

    After the back if you have any questions!

  • Comment to recover missing components after having moved from "Adobe" from program files and program files on another hard drive internal?

    Hello

    I know that the title is long, but I'll try to be clear. I am currently working a lot on Premiere Pro CS6, since I else riding between movies and my drive Windows C is saturated. Jso got the real good idea to create an Adobe folder on one of my other internal drives and y 'cut and paste' (the thing never to do...) "Adobe" from program files and program files, in order to address space. So I created a file Program Files and another program with them each in a subfolder 'Adobe'. Following this bad initiative, opening again my firstsoftware, you can imagine that I had several bugs no one telling me that it lacked components (obviously) and my renderings, which once on two resulted in a "the software has stopped Monday and needs to close" (trickier).

    I have the coup d'etat switched back the folders on drive C (story of a little more drive the nail), the missing components error message no longer appears, however problems rendering and stop persistent software.  Knowing that about 15 GB is miraculously freed himself... not what is more difficult, but also probably explains the bugs...:)

    My question is the following should I uninstall and reinstall (Creative suite) where there's a you it another solution pour everything in order? Knowing it will take anyway that my C drive is dé-sature a bit.

    Thanking you sincerely pour your help, your guidance, your time.

    You cannot move a folder from one drive to another program (as you know) because that destroys the links that the operating system must have in order to run a program

    Disable this feature to unlock your serial number... Uninstall... Install fresh... also, the Adobe programs do not LIKE to install other drivers

  • I want to move the folder Program Files to another hard drive.

    I have Windows 7 installed on a small primary partition on one of the two hard drives, double boot with Windows XP.  My installation of Windows XP is on a smaller primary partition (like Windows 7) and Program Files folder on a separate drive logic in an extended partition, not on the system drive.  I want to make a folder Program Files of Windows 7 on the same logical drive, Program Files and move the Program Files from Windows 7 folder to that partition on the second hard drive.

    Just an update.  I finally managed to move 'Users' on a separate partition, so my installation of Windows 7 now has Windows on a partition, the files program on a logical drive in an extended partition, and users on a separate logic in this extended partition.

    On the Windows partition, there are junctions that point to the logical drive Program Files and the logical drive of users and editing the registry to set these default locations.  Windows updates proceed normally and successfully.  Program facilities smoothly and work as expected.  I'll post my procedures on my site, I hope that in the near future, after that I tested and confirmed their on my other Windows 7 machines.

    Be forewarned, however, that this separation will break the ability to repair/reinstall (upgrade on-site) Windows 7.  It will stop when he sees that Program Files not are not on the system partition.  However, in my particular case, I depend on third-party software disk for backup, Imaging for the loss of this functionality (repair/reinstall) has no real interest for me.  Restore a disk image is much faster.

    There are other methods posted on the net to separate these main divisions of Windows during the installation. My methods are intended to guide differently to an existing facility while retaining all the features.  And once again, as shown in this thread, Microsoft Support seems to discourage that kind of thing.

  • HP Envy m6 1125dx: how to upgrade the bios and uefi without a hard drive

    I can't install OS, including Windows 8.1 discs. After that I get so far along, installing Windows says there is no hard drive, but it's there!

    I see that my BIOS is outdated. When I download the new BIOS from hp.com, I get an executable file

    which of course does not work on a computer that does not start. I can't find the bios file when I run

    Quite true.

    See the image below.

    What is necessary to do is to extract the sp66782.exe file to a folder on the second computer.

    Rename A 018, 4. FD file to 018 has 4. BIN and save it to the root of the USB stick.

    Plug the key into a port on the computer laptop problem.

    Press the power button / stop the laptop and immediately press and hold the Windows key and the B key until the phone reacts and starts the BIOS recovery.

    If all goes well, that will recover the BIOS corrupted with the new copy which is on the flash drive.

    There is a detailed description of another method to do this on the thread of the forum according to 3rd party.

    https://www.BIOS-mods.com/forum/thread-success-solved-semi-bricked-a-HP-DV6-3225dx

    Using this method will result in certain risks that you have to accept if you decide to follow this way to unbrick your laptop. Any update of the BIOS manually is risky.
