Repair disk created with backup/restore of Windows 7 will not work

I have a new HP Desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  It is using UEFI firmware and GPT disks.  I created a repair (CD) disc using Windows 7 backup and restore program.  The CD filled very well.  However, when I try to boot from the ERD, I get an error message and it won't work.  Does anyone have any ideas / solutions?

Moreover, I have a HP laptop and create a repair disk and boot from it works very well.  He is also running Windows 7 Pro, but isn't using UEFI firmware.

Thanks for any help.

1 topic of UEFI - see this thread for a solution.  Read the first response of Samuel Tai & continue downwards.

2 on UEFI - here's a thread that refers to images & repair discs & DVD system - system recovery CD made by the installation of the UEFI does not start

3 UEFI - there could be other useful UEFI threads in the forum but I don't know enough to judge.

4 on Recovery DVD - the term is often used quite loosely to mean a floppy disk with drivers above but, assuming it is an export of DVD of the restore partition factory created by using a utility from HP which clearly indicates that it is a tool for this precisely, so he could fall foul of the same show UEFI as far as I know.  If it wasn't the UEFI, I would say, Yes, it's true.

5 on Recovery DVD - just my prejudice here but not the HP utility allows you to create a unique instead recovery USB?  I think it would be more reliable because it would be difficult to break by sitting on it and it would be faster in use.  It goes the same for installation DVD/USB [I even transferred my system repair disc to a USB].

  • Upcoming games with Windows 7 will not work on Presario SR1020NX. Upgrade Advisor said that W7 would work with the exception of the Aero

    W7 Upgrade Advisor said it would work with the exception of Windows Aero.  When the games to try to come with W7 get window 'game running in software rendering... '. Hardware acceleration disabled or not supported by the video card driver"games will not work. A check says last drivers are installed.  Tried to reinstall WXP in separeat partition to see if would work like that but will not because most recent W7.

    I suggest that you use XP personally gave a computer which is so old.

    If you have a computer with XP (3 + years) and have not changed at least two of these things (CPU, RAM, video card), you should probably stick with XP. Not worth the headache of praying that things work with a material more old which probably is no longer supported on the new OS.
    Usually, people that the computer was shipped with Vista 1, 2 or less it several years ago can be upgraded to 7 without too much trouble if it was a mid-range machine.

    In addition, it seems that Windows is not recognizing your graphics card. It looks like (http://www99.shopping.com/xPO-Hewlett-Packard-SR1020NX-CEL2-8-512-80-COM-XPH) you have an Intel Extreme graphics card. However, nothing about it is extreme. Since it is an extreme Intel card I guess Windows Update should find the drivers for you, but it is not then maybe the video card is just too outdated for 7? I'm not sure.

    Moreover, I wouldn't worry much about the lack of updates for XP right now. If ever you encounter more money then get the new computer with 7 on it, but at this time I suggest you stay on XP if your hardware and software actually works and that is more important than a few features of 7.

  • Just updated to ios 9 and my ipod touch is stuck at 'update of the iCloud parameters.  I can not restore from iTunes as I have to disable 'find my iPod toch' and cannot do the iPod is blocked with the message to update.  Will not work force a stop down.

    Just updated to ios 9.2 (from 8 something) and my ipod touch is stuck at 'update of the iCloud parameters.  I can not restore from iTunes because I have to disable "Find my iPod touch" first of all, and I can't do as the iPod is blocked with the message to update.  Forcing a stop down does not work that for some reason, I am unable to turn off my iPod touch manually.  I tried to turn off my wifi to see if that stops the iPod touch, but he always keeps on the message to iCloud.  Do I just wait until the battery sinks so that it forces a reboot?

    Place your iOS device into Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    iOS: I forgot the password or disabled device

    If the recovery mode does not work, try the DFU mode.

    How to put iPod touch / iPhone in DFU "Karthik doodles."

    To learn how to restore:

    iTunes: restore iOS software

    To restore backup see:

    Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support

    If you restore from a backup of iCloud apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from backup iTunes, applications and music must be in iTunes since synchronized as music media library and apps are not included in the backup of the iOS device what iTunes does.

    You can re-download most of iTunes purchases by:

    Download after purchase from the App Store and iTunes Store iBookstore

    If no problem what happens or doesn't happen, and when in the instructions? When you get the iPod into recovery successfully mode and connect to iTunes on the computer should say that it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • The permissions of folder/drive Windows 8 will not work with the Administrators group?

    I read through some of the other questions on the etc folder permissions, but don't really know the answer to this question, or I do not understand what has been the response.

    I did a new install of Windows 8 and have a few records that I stored stuff I now want to use it as well with Windows 8.  As with the other threads, I was getting access denied error etc and have not defined administrators group/full control permissions, but I still couldn't access readers, and my connection is type administrators.

    When I take the disk permissions with my local user rather than to the Administrators group, but, it works very well, even if no one else can access the drives.

    I am confused on how I can make this work for administrators rather than my specific user account, thank you very much!

    If you know that you are a member of the ADMINISTRATORS group, then just browse the classic desktop and open Windows EXPLORER (WINDOWS KEY + E). Right CLICK on the C DRIVE, and then choose PROPERTIES. Click the SECURITY TAB, and then click the entry of ADMINISTRATORS (computername\administrators). Verify that the checkbox under ALLOW checked for each entry. If it not to hit EDIT and tick all the boxes ALLOW. Then click OK and OK. Check the settings for the SYSTEM account.

    If the first step does not work, try this step only. If it does not, click ADVANCED on the SECURITY tab. In the PERMISSIONS tab highlight of ADMINISTRATORS, choose CHANGE PERMISSIONS. Ensure that all are checked in the BASIC PERMISSIONS area. The menu is APPLIES to drop down, make sure it is set on this FOLDER, subfolders and FILES. Click OK, OK, and then APPLY.
  • Windows 7 will not work with MP Navigator Ex 2.12

    I have a Canon Scanner LiDE 700F that worked well until a few months after an update from Microsoft.  Now, the program that should be used with the scanner - MP Navigator 2.12 Ex does not work & I get an error message informing them that the program is not responding and will close Windows sends an error report and will advise you if they find a solution.  What I want to know, is there another program I can use with this scanner instead of the Ex MP Navigator 2.12 that Microsoft did not come with a solution?  I am very annoyed with Microsoft and all so-called updates that I receive and then interfere with other equipment or programs already installed.

    Windows 7 OS - LiDE 700F Scanner - Canon MP Navigator Ex 2.12 that came with the scanner.

    You don't say what update.

    MS does not supply the drivers of Canon or software, and if you made the mistake of installing recommended updates is probably where the problem lies.

    Update or reinstall your drivers/software from Canon support, specific to your version of bit of the victory.

  • Windows activation - new hard drive and reinstalled Windows, but will not work with the product key

    Hi all

    My hard drive died so I put a new in and installed Windows on a drive, but when I have just activated and put my product key does not work. In fact, I get this day by putting in and then it says character not aloud.

    Please can someone help? All I've done is put a new hard drive in but guess that Windows detects that the product key has been used on the old, which explains why it won't work on the new. What should I do to activate the key?

    Thank you

    Richard

    Thanks a lot for your useful replies. I've got in contact with Microsoft and they gave me a key and it worked!

    Error message that appears when I try to access my mail. Windows Mail cannot be started. Your computer may be out of memory or the disk is full. I have never seen this. My office is 2 years old and I have a lot of memory and space drive.

    Hi breddy1,

    A. when it last work very well?

    I suggest the following methods.

    Method 1

    Disable the antivirus and check if you are able to use windows mail. If it works then make sure that your antivirus or other security program have their email options off scan.

    Run a virus scan online on your computer.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Method 2

    Rename the Windows Mail folder and create a new folder

    1. Exit Windows Mail.
    2. Find the Windows Mail folder. See "step 1: search for the message store" of method 1 for more information on the search for this file.
    3. Right click the Windows Mail folder and then click Rename.
    4. Add old at the end of the name of the folder so that the folder is now named Windows Mailold.
    5. Then, create a new windows Messaging folder and copy the contents of the old folder to the new.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-problems-with-Windows-Mail

    Method 3

    I suggest that you perform a scan of the file system [SFC] checker on the computer, this replaces the corrupt system files with system Version of Windows on the computer files, follow these steps to perform a scan:

    I suggest to empty the temp folder and later, follow these steps:

    Click Start > type % temp % in the start search box > press on enter > delete everything present in the temp folder.

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

    2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

    3. at the command calls, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  • Vista Home Premium 64-bit: Side-by-side configuration incorrect, C++ Redistributable is not installed, programs will not install, Windows Update will not work.

    Greetings!  Please read this and thank you in advance for your help.

    A few months ago, I started to receive Windows Update errors, indicating that my Windows platform could not update itself.  Soon after, I started getting errors about C++ Redistributable does not install correctly.  It wasn't a huge problem for a while, and I managed to work around it.  However, my antivirus program is dead, and I'm unable to install a new.  When I try to install programs now, I get the error "side-by-side configuration is incorrect."  I would like to delete the manifest and try to reinstall the application, but I don't know where they are.  At least, it would be a start.  In any case, I am currently without virus protection.  Help!

    So far, I tried to uninstall the Windows updates, but I only managed to install the MS Office updates.  I have even office, although I understand that it is built into the operating system of our days.  I tried many different patches of a lot of different forums and nothing seems to work.  I would like to reinstall the OS, but I bought OEM (from Newegg) and do not have the disc.  I don't even have an easy backup, or even one that I know is 'good'.

    Thanks again for your time and effort.  They are appreciated more than you can imagine.

    Why you didn't say what you did before?

    Borrow a Vista DVD and don't reinstall Option I gave you.

    Or borrow a disc and do a repair installation; It's your call.
