Problem of generation of a System Image in Windows 7 on several DVD + R using a new laptop ASUS UL50

I'm trying to follow the instructions on the screen to generate backups in case of system crash.

The recovery disk was created without a hitch.  I inserted a blank DVD + R disc according to the instructions and the process is completed without error.

I tried to create a System Image disc.  In the Panel, I selected "backup and recovery".

In the pop up box that results, in the left menu, I selected the option 'create the system image.

A new popup box appeared asking me to select the media - and included the option of one or more CD or DVD.  There is the option that I selected.

I was given a text string to write to the DVD (the computer name, date/time of the image and the number one probably represent the first of several discs).

The process began by saying that it was creating the image and then he began to copy the disc.  At some point, a new popup box appeared with a message indicating that the media were too small and please insert a disc with a capacity greater than 1 GB (this is a DVD + R with a capacity of 4.7 GB).  Once again, he printed a string to write to the disk and used the same disc number (disc number 1).  This makes me think that the system has _nothing_ with the original disc.

In addition, the popup box prompted me to "insert a new disc", but it wouldn't let me eject the disc currently in the drive.  The backup software would not prevent the drive from spinning.

When I tried the entire backup, it would not be "Cancel".  I even went into the Task Manager to try to quit smoking.  The Task Manager indicates that the process "failed" but would not leave and the DVD player would not stop turning.

I finally did a hard shutdown of the laptop.

Afraid that suggests that the DVD player have been defective, I rebooted the machine, put a DVD image into the machine, and he opened it, saw my fine started and stopped etc., photos.

I then repeated the procedure above with a new blank DVD to try to generate a new Image system and the machine performed _exactly_ the same way.

Also.  A similar question was asked in this forum on November 2, but the response of a moderator of Answers MS did not actually the question.  Response from the moderator simply directed the questioner to a set of instructions on how to generate a backup of _complete_ (where you can either authorize MS select automatically which files are backed up or you can select specific subdirectories etc..)  NOTE: I tried this process as well, but it does not generate a backup on DVD.  According to the tutorials, my only options by using the backup scheduler to create a system image are: a separate disk partition or separate hard drive inside (or outside).  It won't let me create an image of 'system' to a _Bi) DVD using the backup scheduler.

Hi TLÉ,.

I want only after saving you to perform the above given the procedure, the registry. Lets give it a try and see if that helps. If this does not help solve the problem, attentio try another alternative, or probably a forum user with a similar question and fix post it here with the resolution.

Keep your fingers crossed!

    I have a laptop Windows 7 with an overheating problem and seeks to replace. I want to transfer all my files and programs to the new laptop. If the new laptop Windows 8, I guess I would still be able to restore my Windows 7 system image, and only after that I would have all my files and programs in Windows 7 on the new laptop. So I would be able to reuse the product key of Windows 8 that came with the laptop for the re-upgrade to Windows 8 and have all my programs and files in Windows 8?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    Personally, I have not heard of specific issues with this WD HARD drive. I Googled it and found some non-specific stuff.

    However, to answer your question: in my view, there is no problem with the 1 TB external harddrive to adapt the SSD from below 500 GB. Therefore larger than GB 463, less than 500 GB, 1 TB, it should fit without problems. There is no problem for cloning SSD and HARD drive imaging (the only problem is that it might be a bit slower, but no problem to do so).

    April 24, 2013

    Just thought I'd give you the answer to this old problem.

    Windows 7 (for earlier versions) work as described in the help of the screen except that the VSS mode

    must be turned on.  This allows Windows to actuall save parts of the operating system

    Although these parts are involved in the actual backup.

    Shame on the HP technical support for not knowing this.

    In addition, the original tech support suggestion was to call Microsoft.

    With a new HP PC you have no direct support from Microsoft (free).

    It took me a while to work with Paragon Backup (wonderful product) to realize that VSS

    must be enabled in the operating system for these virtual backup features to work.

  • System Image Restore

    Hello

    I was wondering...

    Recently I lost all my files on my partition bootcamp so after learning this hard lesson, that I decided to buy an external hard drive to backup all my files.

    I created a backup using Windows backup, and also I have created a System Image backup.

    I know that if restore you Windows using a Setup disk you may lose the Mac partition because that reformats the entire hard drive.

    But how about if I use the restoration of the Image of the Control Panel, NOT a recovery disk or the Windows Setup disc. If I directly from Control Panel:

    which would remove the MAC partition too?

    Let me explain further.

    Let's say I get a virus and I decide to delete the bootcamp partition. Then I proceed to re-install windows7 normally using Boot Camp help lose all my files and programs that I had before. Once the installation is complete, I want to recover all the files, settings and programs I had before. So I plug my hard drive and use the restore System Image via Control Panel, without using an installation disc.

    My logic is if I do it via a Windows installation or recovery disk before windows is installed correctly with bootcamp that can reformat the entire hard drive and I would lose the Mac partition, which is obviously not an option. But if I do so after properly installing windows via bootcamp and go to the control panel to perform an overlay to the Image of the system that will affect only the Bootcamp/Windows partition and does not affect the entire hard disk.

    My logic is correct? or simply a System Image Recovery Windows on a Mac is not possible?

    Thank you!

    Please see my response on the other thread - Re: I can not find bootcamp Windows after the installation of El Capitan .

  • Pavilion G6-2123us: recovery of System Image of WD My Passport Ultra

    On my Pavilion G6 Notebook, I created a Windows 7 System Image and stored on an external USB WD My Passport Ultra.  When I boot my drive to repair (with the connected USB drive) and asks him to restore a System Image it says that it manages.  Because it's there (my Windows 8 machine can see the images on the USB drive), I guess that the G6 can not see My Passport USB drive.  I've updated the BIOS and other software recommended on the G6 as well as update the firmware on My Passport but no luck.   The G6 are able to see the key USB when I started upward in repair disk mode?   I give myself the option to load drivers for my external hard drive, but I don't know what that way with a USB connected any device.  If the G6 should be able to see the USB key, what should be my next step?

    I'll call this resovled.  The answer is that the native Windows tools to manage the system image in Windows 7 are really quite poor and you're better off using another product.  But whatever happens, to start on the ERD and see the USB you have to plug the USB on the right side (mouse) USB port.

  • Windows7 System Image backup

    I just want to know what type of device, I should use to make a system image backup.  My computer is for home use only (I am retired and use it for email, research and banking).    I have a 146 GB hd with 103 GB free.  Know me I use 43 GB of space for everything, right?   I made the mistake to go to Best Buy, I was told to get an external hard drive 500 GB.  I would use a flashdrive if possible and I thought a 128 GB should do OR the old way of burning on DVD mode, I need to know what I have to reformat to NTFS DVD (each first) before you can begin the backup? and who is the best to get.  Best Buy was not helpful at all, no one on the floor could answer my questions, stood in line for 45 minutes and that's when I said to buy a 500 GB HD.

    Thanks to all those who can help you.

    Dear Frederik

    Thank you for taking the time and address my concerns.  However, I have just one more question.  Why would I need an external hard drive 500 GB, the one I have is 146 GB with 103 GB free. I would only use a lot of space in what remains of my life (72).   Just use my PC at home to society and personal things.

    A 500 GB drive comes in handy for several reasons:

    • You can store several images on it, for example before leaving for the upgrade of Windows 10 (if that's what you have in mind) and after the upgrade. You would hold the image of Windows 7 a few months in case you want to go back. Note that Windows (as opposed to third-party tools), it is difficult for you to store two different images and separating them.
    • You must use the disk for your regular data backups. If you are not in the habit of saving your data regularly so it's a great time!

    Also note that an image not tested backup is pretty useless, as it is an untested backup.

  • Manually burn the backup of system image on DVD

    Can someone tell me what is the correct way to burn on multiple images of a single DVD that I created on the external hard drive so that I can use these multiple dvds with the ERD in windows 7 to restore the image of the system?

    Thank you very much

    Best regards

    Michele

    I can't quite follow your train of thought, but here are a few thoughts of my own:

    • I can't burn images of system for DVDs. There are three reasons:
      -There are too many drives.
      -You cannot reuse the disk.
      -Burned DVDs are much less reliable than hard disks.
    • Each machine, I occupy I maintain three images on an external hard drive:
      -L'image of 'Factory' (which allows me to go back to square one)
      -The most recent image (which I renew once all the few months)
      -L'image before the most recent image (which lets me go back in case the most recent image turns out to be defective.
    • Given the performance a little unreliable the ease of creating native images, I use a third-party product. Its features are far superior and it compresses files image by about 50%. The product allows me to burn a CD of 'rescue' that allows me to restore an image on a blank disc.

    The above measures I would recover quickly from any disaster, no matter what it is.

  • 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.

    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.
