• FAILED TO CREATE THE SYSTEM BACKUP WIZARD USING RECOVERY DISK

  I use Windows XP Professional and is trying to create a system recovery disk using the backup and Recovery Wizard.
  I backup all the info on my laptop on an external device.
  The wizard said at the beginning that at the end of the process I will ask you to insert a cd to create a system recovery disk.
  In fact it asks me to insert a cd.
  (After the backuo is complete), it just says that there is no cd in the floppy drive so a system recovery disk could not be created.

  So, I would be grateful for any help with ths frustrating problem.

  elusivescarlet,
  The XP Backup and Restore Wizard will create only the recovery on a floppy disk. Are you sure it says there is no CD in the drive or the fact of State there is no disk in the floppy drive?  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• problem with the system restore when you try to back up disks

  my system crashed.  would not boot.  Several attempts later, went to the system recovery... do you have a full upward (23 dvd) then did a complete restore.  laptop works.  However restore my files from the backup disks does not work.  I get a failure in the system restore somewhere in the treatment of the disc 12 (out of 23).  Help!  sighing heavily... of course this happens when I am in a time crunch

  Hello cyberterp. I see that you are having problems to restore your data from backup disks. To make sure that I understand you were able to make the recovery of the operating system, but the data you have saved in the course of the process you're trying to get now?

  Check the bottom of the twelve disc and make sure that there are no scratches on it. If there is even the smallest scratch to find a local store that will shine the disc for you; This can allow you to read the data. If discs are in perfect condition and then either media are bad or there was a problem (unnoticed) during the backup process and it is unlikely that you will be able to recover the data.

• The system restore points, how can be stored/kept?

  I had problems restore XP on the computer of a friend.  I can't after installing SP3, a question that will be asked in a separate post.

  In an effort to not having to do a full system recovery on the computer in question, with this latest attempt to recover the operating system and install all updates, I started the creation of restore points for the system after each step, I took to get things running and upward.

  And that is, after installing SP3, with installation fails and then going back until the restoration of the system to an earlier configuration, I found none of the points longer existed the system restore.   :-(

  Is there a maximum number of restore points in the system that can be stored in XP and later Windows operating systems?

  Hey, Jose,

  I'm sorry for the late reply to your post, but I removed the weekend baby a bad back that makes me mad.

  I'll try to put your comments in quotes, with my response immediately after, flea.

  The hard drive is 160 GB.  The car had 2 partitions, the recovery partition.  Before reinstalling everything from scratch, I've used Easeus Partition Manager Home Edition to create a 3rd partition to move the original data of C:\ drive to your new partition so my friend can sort files and keep it as he and his family want and discard the rest.  I just copy everything that I can, because I don't know who, what, and where they have stored files.  I actually found a file stored in the recovery partition, but I moved it.

  "Here are some reasons that XP will remove RPs.

  'http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301224 '.

  • Read the KB article.  To make sure that we are on the same page, I get "system drive" means C:\.
  • Lack of free space should not be a problem.  C:\ is 32 GB, 10.1 GB used.  D:\ is 111 GB, GB used 21.2.  E:\ is 5.98 GB, used 5.00.  E: is the recovery Partition.
  • No disk compression
  • Did not display the warnings system restore.
  • I do not turn off System Restore fo any player.
  • This isn't an upgrade of the system to an earlier version, I just turn on the computer the way it came, new out of the box.
  • The system was always restored from the recovery Partition.  I have a set of restore CD, but they have been written about the recorded side with a felt marker.  I have not tried cleaning off the coast, this will be my absolute last resort.   :-)
  • Disk cleanup does not give me tabs and options as mentioned in the article.  I guess that these show upward when you upgrade from a previous version of the operating system.
  • I don't think I'm under low disk space.    :-)
  • Does not not after the age of 90 days, nor have I have reduced the size of the data store.  I didn't know either of these possibilities before you read this KB.  See how the KB has been written, I suppose that these two parameters can be changed.  Can you point me in the right direction for how to do this?  I have a computer multiboot (XP Pro and Vista Ultimate Edition) and I would change the date of age never delete a restore point, because the computer is rarely used nowadays.

  "I don't know that when you install SP3 and it goes well, a single method to uninstall SP3 is to restore the system to the time before SP3 was installed:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950249

  This would mean that you would still RPs after that installation of SP3 (if things were favorably) and that was my observation. »

  • When I started to have problems, I simply started from scratch with a Destructive Restore process.  When I'm really frustrated after several failures, I started looking for a quicker way to get back to a point just before I installed SP3 and found this KB.  After that, it was the safe boot mode and using the Control Panel Add/Remove programs to remove the SP3.  And I got very, very familiar with the process!   Laughing out loud

  "Other things I can think can remove all restore Points are third party maintenance and system cleaning tools, poorly designed or introducing a third part malfunction anti malware tools, etc..".  Malicious software can disable the system restore (temporarily of course), but I never saw remove Restore Points.  The XP disk cleanup will also delete all but the most recent restore Point. »

  • Other Easeus Partition Manager, I never got far enough along to try any other third party software.  My "modus operandi" is updated completely OS and Internet Explorer before I install any other software and update it.  However, with the idea of the recovery Partition, do not not the software isn't an option.

  "If they are all absent, it always seems that a human element involved somewhere."

  • I learned long ago, the days of 8-bit, unless there is a real hardware failure, almost all computer problems can be tracked to a human being.
  • Not all system restore points were missing, just the first I created which is involved by creating a restore point after you change the system, such as the removal of my friend doesn't use software.  For example the software to connect to an ISP with a modem.  They got the DSL.   :-)
  • All deletions of software would help speed up the computer for his own use.  The rest of the family is like me today, Mac users.   :-)

  "To answer your question:

  The settings default for the accumulation of Restore Points is 12% of the size of the monitored hard drive or 90 days (both values are adjustable of course).  Microsoft seems to draw attention to the way in which the Restore Points "live."   "Then, the oldest Restore Points will start to get deleted to make room for new Restore Points (see also KB950249).

  • 12%, eh?  Is it possible, in fact, I have exceeded this number by 12% by creating too many restore points?  Knowing what I was doing, which seems to be a possiblity says, as restoring all points were never deleted, only the earlier.

  I'll certainly post the info you suggested in the post on the SP3 forum.

  "Do or do not. There is no test. »

  Hello

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
  Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
  Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

  ===========================================================

  The system has RAID? If so, it's also very suspicious.

  This error is usually a driver problem and display adapter (video) driver is the most suspicious if she
  may be others. Antivirus/antispyware/security programs, equipment (heat) and major software problems
  can also cause the error. When you get to the section of the driver to use the Troubleshoot utility my generic
  methods in the next message and then return to the if necessary troubleshooting tool.

  Have you recently added hardware or drivers updated? Don't forget to look in Control Panel - Windows
  Updates to see if all drivers have been updated it. Other donor opportunities include the antivirus/anti-
  spyware/security programs.

  When you get to the pilot and sections of the memory of the troubleshooter check the following message to
  update drivers and memory test and then return to the troubleshooter if necessary.

  BCCode: 7F 0x0000007E which is also 0x1000007E

  Cause

  SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug control is a very common bug control. TO
  interpret, you must identify which exception has been generated.

  Common exception codes are:

  • 0xc0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation has occurred.

  For a complete list of exception codes, see the Ntstatus.h file located in theinc directory
  the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

  Solve the problem

  If you do not have to debug this problem, you must use certain basic troubleshooting techniques.

  • Make sure you have enough disk space.
  • If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the
  • Reference of the manufacturer for driver updates.
  • Try changing video cards.
  • Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS.
  • Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

  If you plan to debug this problem, you may find it difficult to get a stack trace. Parameter 2
  (the address of the exception) must identify the driver or function that caused the problem.

  If the exception code 0 x 80000003 occurs, a hard-coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but the system
  has been launched with the /nodebug. switch. This problem should occur infrequently. If it occurs repeatedly,
  Make sure that a kernel debugger is connected and the system is booted with the Switch/DEBUG .

  In case of exception code 0 x 80000002, the trap frame provides additional information.

  If you do not know the specific cause of the exception, consider the following questions:

  • Hardware incompatibility. Make sure all new hardware that is installed is listed in the
  • List of Microsoft Windows Marketplace tested products.
  • Service driver or defective peripheral system. A service driver or defective peripheral system can be
  • responsible for this error. Hardware problems, such as the incompatibilities of the BIOS, memory, conflicts
  • and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.

  If a driver is listed by name in the bug check message, disable or remove that driver. Disable
  or remove drivers or services that have been recently added. If the error occurs during startup
  sequence and the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use safe
  Mode to rename or to delete the faulty driver. If the driver is used as part of the system startup procedure
  in Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.

  If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error may be a third remote
  control program. If this software is installed, you can remove the boot of the computer service
  by using the Recovery Console, and then by removing the offending system service file.

  Check the system log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the
  device or the driver that generated the bug check 0x7E.

  You can also disable memory cache BIOS may try to resolve the error. You should also
  Run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system.
  For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

  The error that generates this message may occur after the first reboot during Windows Setup, or
  Once the installation is complete. A possible cause of the error is lack of disk space for installation and system
  BIOS incompatibilities. For problems during the installation of Windows that are associated with the absence of disc
  space, reduce the number of files on the disk drive hard target. Find and delete any temporary
  the files that you do not have to have files hidden Internet, backup application and.chkfiles files that
  contain fragments of file saved to disk scans. You can also use another hard drive with more drive
  free space for the installation. You can solve the problems of BIOS by upgrading the version of the system BIOS.

• TRYING TO DO THE SYSTEM RESTORE, BUT 'NO PARTITION FOUND

  I have a HP Pavilion laptop g6, which works on windows 8.  I tried to do a windows system restore because my computer is having a lot of problems lately and it is less than 1 year.  The fan runs constantly very loudly, computer is hot, there is a process running in the background and flash plugin is constantly crashing on mozilla/I.E. Problems got even worse when I upgraded from Windows 8.1 windows8.

  When I went to do the system restore windows through the hp support assistant, it gets stuck and when I tried to do it by putting power by pressing continuously on f11 to get the boot menu, it says that it cannot restore because no partition... Also, I can't do a complete HP reset because when I turn on my computer now since the upgrade to windows 8.1, it seems to ignore the point when I'm supposed to hit esc to the start menu and instantly goes to the start screen.

  I looked into this mess partition missing and tried to 'test drive' as suggested in this message, which seems to argue that a partition is missing and gives me know no way to add a.

  Help, please! all boards (and please keep in mind while I consider myself rather computer savvy, I'm no geek team so he dumb down a little) would be VERY USEFUL! My computer is too new for this shit.

  The document here may help to do a factory reset:

• Pavilion 2000: Using the system restore

  I used the system restore in the past and I know it took a few hours to complete with good results, as it eliminated the problem. Last week, I used the restoration of the system, the screen turned blue and the restoration began however this continued for more than 3 days!  I was unable to use my laptop for so long. I saw a blue screen with an icon swirling in the Center. Miraculously, the day 4, he came back to life, but immediately began to update the apps I had checked to only not to do. It took an extra day. Actually, now it's back to normal. I am now afraid to use the restoration of the system again. What I've done wrong?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum.

  Could you provide your full computer model - information can be seen from the service tag sticker > > http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Miscellaneous-Topics-Read-Only/Advice-for-asking-the-quot-Very-Best-Question-quot/td-p/83280 ?

  Could you confirm your OS - is this Windows 8/8.1 now?

  I see your previous thread in the attempt to upgrade to W10...

  I'm not sure about what you were wrong (if anything), but

  System Restore is a feature of Windows that usually takes minutes (30 minutes max) in full, not hours, not days. It restores the Windows registry, files/settings of the system to a previous state and is generally quick.

  Do you mean the system recovery or system reset/refresh?

  These are different things. These restore original Windows or format partitions on HARD drive - it can take an hour or 2-3 max but not days.

  If these (especially system restore) lasts days, there is indeed something wrong with the operating system.

  Looking forward to your confirmations.

• in the system restore, why the previous months are cleared from the restore points? It shows only the current month.

  Windows XP operating system

  System Restore can record only as much as is will insert in the allocated space restore points.  Once the space is filled, older restore points are purged as new ones are created.

  By default, the system restore allocates 12% of the score, he's being followed.  On today's big hard disks, which can cause a huge allowance for the restoration of the system, which in turn can cause problems.  For best results, set about 1 GB space.  See http://bertk.mvps.org/html/diskspace.html

When I searched for how to change group policy, they told me to go to start, run and type gpedit.msc. When I tried that I got an error that gpedit.msc does not exist on my machine. Can someone tell me please how to restore the system restore. I am running an old Vaio with XP, but it still works very well this problem.

  Also, I tried it while logged in as an administrator, it is not part of the problem. I do not have a system restore disk because it did not come with the machine and I forgot to make one, but I have a disk of Windows XP with Service Pack 2. Do I have to re - format the entire disk to fix this? I use a sturdy old Sony Vaio, which works very well except for this problem. Any advice would be appreciated.

  How did you delete the system restore?

  I think you have bad things on your computer (or you did at some point).

  If you have XP Home Edition, you have no Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), but the error message that you declare (if it's like my examples), indicates that group policy has been changed, so that something has changed.

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  Perhaps GoBack is it for you to prevent you from using SR then you would be forced to use use GoBack instead and I do not wish to install GoBack to find out.

  Malware "break" things that he knows that you will use to try to get rid of it... like the Task Manager, the restoration of the system, the registry editor, etc.

  The malware is happiest when she can trick you into thinking you need to do a repair installation, use a Restore Point or even a complete reinstall when none of those things are needed that outsmart you, and then got rid of with MBAM and SAS.

  AV tools will not often catch these things because they can not tell if policies have been disabled by malware or if you made on purpose, so just leave them.   MBAM will point out a few of them as suspect and give you the opportunity to correct them if you wish.

  The malware may also know you have XP Home and adjust policies that he thinks that you do not have to be set because you have no Group Policy Editor - This is how he thinks and that's what he does.  He wants that reinstall you XP from scratch.

  First run MBAM and SAS if you want.

  I've done to the top of this edition of registry for you :).  It's an accumulation of things that responds to all things under the sentence "If you see things like...". ».

  If you just want to see if you can get your work of SR and are comfortable editing the registry, you can go here:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore

  Find and delete this registry key:

  DisableSR

  That's what this line in the file .reg on top:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
  "DisableSR" = -.

  He "skins" (removes) politics DisableSR.

  That will solve your problem of immediate SR, but will not any question that you have not yet set.

  Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

  But, as I said, if you have in your registry, you have probably other things too.  My regedit will fix all the things I've seen come with the question SR whether or not they have need of fixing.  It does nothing, it will remove anything that might be there (you have at least one).

  Then, you should broaden your horizons AV because what you use dropped and could not protect your system.

  Or, you can wait and see what other people have to say.

• can not get the system restore to work

  tried to get the system restore back to an earlier time. says I need to get rid of the useless programs.did who. I have also some icons for files, tools or downloads

  In addition to what has been mentioned, consider the following:

  First of all, what is the last time that the restoration of the system worked?

  Check your system restore settings:

  1. Click Start
  2. Right click on my computer
  3. Click on Properties.
  4. Click on System Restore
  5. If system restore is enabled, the column status of a player will show surveillance.
  6. If not, you can delete ""disable the system restore on all drives ' and then click on OK to activate "

  Is both as soon as you try to restore to the most recent available? If so, unless you have specific reasons to keep the previous restore points, clean the rest, so that you have the most recent restore point on the left.

  To do this:

  1. run Disk Cleanup

  2. click on more Options

  3. under system restore, click cleaning of

  4. click on OK

  This will free up the space. System restore needs a minimum of 200 MB of space to work.
