HP 15: cannot make an image of the system

I have a laptop HP 15. At 8.1 Windows installed 10 Windows, everything works fine until I try to create a system image. When I click to start it says create Windows 7 system image then fails to 97%. Two questions why Windows 7 and why failing.

Thanks for any help.

I use imaging system Windows 10. Open Control Panel, under system & sercurity open backup and restore (this is where Windows 7 is mentioned for the first time), when it opens in the upper left corner you can create system images and a system repair disc. I've done both for Windows 8.1, I used this method with visited 7 & 8.1 without problems so far.

I ran test on all players and all is good.

Maybe I should explain why to use to create the system image in Windows. With HP Recovery, what is copied is disks and files to get Windows to start. With system image, that your hard drive internal all is copied, it is BONE, all drives, files, updates and any software that you have installed even saves bookmarks. If your internal hard drive fails, simply install your drive with the image of the system and you're ready to go back just like before. I used this method to get laptops in use in very short time.

I solved the problem of a backup with Macrium Reflect disk to clone my internal hard drive. It's ok but the Windows image is much easier to use, that's why I love it and recommend it to friends to use it. You do not need to be an expert, just a couple of clicks and windows does the rest.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I still want to resolve questions about the reasons Windows 7 instead of 8.1 and why keeps hanging.

    This problem can be caused by a conflict with other programs installed on your computer, usually antivirus software. Follow the steps described in this document to create the drive in a clean boot state.

  • Help! -New Dell i3847 - Windows 7 Pro - Dell Recovery Disk Win 8.1 & DBaR don't make a backup of the system

    I bought a new Dell i3847 and it has Windows 7 Pro 64 bit installed at the factory on it.

    I wanted to make a complete backup of the system, but the Dell Backup and Recovery software does not allow me to make a backup of the system.  In addition, I was unable to create a system recovery disk using Dell backup and restore.

    I can't use the drive system recovery expected Dell because it clearly states Windows 8.1

    (1) why is a Win 8.1 drive included with a Win 7 Pro 64 bit system?

    (2) what is the problem with Dell backup and recovery that she:

    (a) cannot create a recovery disc factory

    (b) allow me to create a backup system so I can go back to the factory State

    Help!

    It has been 2.5 hours and it is still "initialize disk" to create a recovery of the plant.  It usually somewhere fails during initialization or in writing.    Spend hours for each failed attempt to create a factory recovery disc is NOT GOOD!

    The factory restore disk was finally created.

    Dell is now a person pays create a backup system and the user must download a update to do so.

    Microsoft has a tool to create a system image and make a recovery / restore disc which is free.

    So, I used DBaR do restore disk by the factory.

    However, to make a system image and a recovery / restore for that, I used windows 7 built in software.

    Hi, Jenn:

    I'd certainly recovery disks because in the case of a hard drive failure, a recovery partition is unnecessary because it would be on the failed drive.

    Recovery disks will do the same as a recovery partition. Reinstall the operating system and programs supplied with your laptop.

    I have also copy off the coast of the C:\drive SWSetup folder and store it on a portable hard drive that contains all files Installer provided with your PC (except MS Office 2010 Starter).

    You can also make your own Windows 7 installation disc and have a nice bloatware without installing windows, and then install only the programs you want from the SWSetup folder.

    Here's how:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

    You can get rid of all the partitions you want to if you plan to use recovery or disc of Windows 7 installation method that I posted above.

    I write my product key and store them somewhere for more security that many people report that it fades if you keep the laptop on your lap a lot, and then you wouldn't be able to use the alternative method to install W7.

  • How much space will be an average image of the system take?

    I am planning to buy an external hard drive, so I store my backup system on it my computer failure. I just want to know how much will be an image of the system average resumes if you have a few programs with a value of approximately 20 GB.

    PB

    If you make an overall picture of the partition to the OS, it will take the same amount as the OS partition before compression.  Compression can reduce the size of ~ 25%

    For example
    Your operating system partition is 40 GB image would be ~ 30 concerts.

  • Problem of recovering files after completing the reduced image of the system

    I wanted a quick and easy way to remove bloatware on my HP Pavilion dv6 laptop and I recently found the option to minimize the system image.  During execution of the task, I was given the option to first back all my files and I thought it was excellent.  After waiting 2 hours for her to create the backup, he created a 67.5 GB file on my backup drive and then proceeds to reduce to a minimum the system image.  While he was complete my phone restarted and went through all the steps of setting up for first use.  When everything was done, I plugged my backup disk and navigated to the folder of recovery of file titled "Backup_2011-10-28 125331.  In the file was a file "Recovery.exe" so I guess that I just had to run the file and everything would be restored.  However, he did create a file on the C: drive in the "System Recovery Files" which basically looks like a simple list of files.  The file that was done was only 12 GB, which makes no sense given that the backup folder initial took 67.5 GB on my backup drive.

    I assumed that this recovery file would simply perform a system recovery, restore all files created by the user where they were originally and basically to restore my system to how it was before reducing the image of the system, except of course for the fact that the image of the system would be less.  I was wrong to assume that or am I not successfully restore my system?  When enter windows and attempt to restore the backup created by some HP program that did it, the file is not even given as a possible source of save.  How can I get my computer to where it was before the restoration?  I had more than 100 GB of music, games and programs out there that are now lost and trying to remember what I lost everything will be very tedious, not to mention how long to actually get all the files.  Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance!

    OK, what I learned hae is the backup created during the copy just for the recovery of all the files in the format of the image (management of stormwater in case you), the restore.exe was never to return to the original lcations since maybe it's different, so there just pictures of stormwater management to normal files and dumps then converts into a folder to restore you It is up to you to sort through them and put them in the appropriate places, stupid I agree, but that's the way it was designed.

    Back to your problem, I would like to rename this "System Recovery Files" System Recovery Files 2 folder, then try the recovery.exe once again, see if there is no option during recovery, make sure you select all files if given a chance, see if it produces more files than he did the first time.

    If this does not work there is a way to convert all the files management of stormwater to 1 wim file and then mount the wim file in explorer to copy the files you need from the image, it's very complicated process which I've never tried it myself.

  • An image of the system will restore Windows 8 on a blank HARD drive?

    Hey everybody,

    I work for a hospital and have to keep sensitive information on my laptop occasionally. Therefore, I would like to wipe my HARD drive a few months so that if my computer is lost or stolen it will be a lot of private information on it.

    However, I do not have a CD with Windows 8 on it (no one seems to give more backup discs). I do an image of the system to use as a back up, but I want to make sure that wiping HARD drive is OK before I do it.

    In short:
    If I have a system image in Windows 8, stored on an external HARD drive, can I restore my operating system of it on my laptop if I completely erase my laptop's HARD drive?

    Hi Michael J Caboose.

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    Yes, it is possible for you to create a system image on an external drive backup and use it later to restore the operating system.

    Windows 8 has a new option file history which will help you to create the system image.

    Select the Recovery option in the file history. Click on the image of the system to create an and select the drive you want to the same backup/create.

    Here are some articles that will help you to perform this task successfully.

    How to use the file history

    Note: However before wiping on the hard drive of the laptop, make sure that you have supported the important data on the drive.

    Hope this information helps.

  • Backup Windows XP to create the complete image of the system?

    Original title: Windows Xp backup for the new update to reader.

    I want to get a new larger internal hard drive.  However the idea of trying to reinstall all my programs and settings have discouraged me it doing so. My Mac is great in that it allows me to back up my entire system with time machine on an external hard drive, and I can put it all right even if I accidentally erase my whole machine.

    Window xp Backup Wizard can do the same?

    Under the Backup Wizard tool, it seems to be a selection that says that "all information on this computer.  So once I have replaced my old internal drive with the new and improved, can simply paste in my external drive in the USB port and reinstall everything as it is?  is this possible?

    I realized with the technical stuff you just can't assume anything and that things go wrong or you need something more...

    Hi Yes,

    This isn't the functionality of Windows XP. However, you can find this feature in Windows 7.

  • How can I save a directory or a specific file without saving the Image to the system?

    Purchased new software my company insists on the fact that we back up software data every day on a USB. I tried to schedule a backup, but I don't want the Image of the backup system. How can I save a directory or a specific file without saving the Image to the system?

    When you choose what to back up, simply uncheck the box of system image:

    Or another simple way is to program a command that copies the files on your USB key, replacing the backup from the night before.

    For example, this command copies all of my 'Project X' folder on my USB drive (drive E :)
