• Cannot restore the system image backup in Windows 7

  Hello

  Im trying to use the recovery process of Win7 system standard Image for the first time and its does not work.  I'm recovering the image on my hard C primary, internal to the system drive.  I backed up correctly a Win7 system on an external hard drive image.  To restore I connect in the Control Panel on my system (still ongoing) and select the advanced option to retrieve my disc image.  The process stops then the pc and it restarts automatically.  Then he finished "Windows loading files...". "Then I select my keyboard for data entry, click ok.   Then the process correctly detects and automatically selects my last image of backup on the external drive system.    The next step begins the problem.

  The option 'delete existing partitions to reformat the drive... '. "is grayed out and inaccessible.  The only other option is: "install the drivers for the drives, you are restoing to... could solve the problem."  Also, "insert media for the device and click OK to install the drivers." I have a new HP Pavilion Desktop with Wn7-64 bit and HP has its own recovery on C partition and there is also another unknown partition (to me) it.  I was provided the only brackets installtion / have the HP recovery disk and the recovery of Win7 boot floppies that I burned after buying oringal.  Therefore, I select the button Install Drivers with no media of installtion and I see the Windows/System32/drivers folder. I can only select one driver at a time, I tried what I thought were the pilots of C - IE disk.sys, partmgr.sys, snapman.sys and tdrpm.sys and all of them return the error msg "specific location contains no information about your hardware."  I also tried to use the two recovery discs that I burned, but they resulted in a similarly generic error message.

  Drive C is very well so I am at a huge loss as to what the standard restore process of the operationg system image is looking for and why missing drivers for drive C?  Can someone please explain what this process needs so I can restore the system image?

  Thank you, roggsf

  FYI... I was able to recover my Win7 System Image by using the external backup and the ERD of Win7.  I am now more confident that backups of the system can be invoked in the event of a disaster.

  The process was/is still a bit confusing because it faced the same problems with the possibility of "remove existing divides to reformat the drive" grayed out and inaccessible.  And the other option: "install the drivers for the drives, you are restoing to... could solve the problem" is still a mystery to me.  However, using the repair disk, I was able to bypass the need to use one of these two options, click Next, and start and finish the process of recovering successfully.

  I hope that someone will be examine and solve problems with recovery only the Panel since it is the recommended approach (to a working system).  I'm a happy computeree once more.  Thanks for the suggestion.

• Windows Vista Home Edition - create and restore the system image

  One of my laptops old becomes a problem with a disk error.  I need to create a system image, replace the disk, and then restore the image.  Vista Home does not include the option to create an image - although a lot of 3rd party tools do.  Does anyone have experience using a 3rd third-party tool to do what I want, that is, restore the saved image to the new disk.  I plan to use a USB external drive to store the image so anything I start since then will have to be able to see and read from the external USB drive.

  Thank you, Ben (Project MVP)

  Hello

  be able to boot from a USB key depends on the properties of your motherboard

  hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk

  Search for information on this subject on their Web site

  as you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

  Help!

  Hello:

  I can't help you with why the image of the system will not work, but here's a way you can reinstall W7 by using the product key of W7 25 characters on your PC case.

  Make your own plain W7 x 64 installation media.

  Here is the link to the download site of Microsoft for the W7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 ISO file.

  http://MSFT.digitalrivercontent.NET/win/X17-24209.ISO Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 English

  Make sure you get all the 3. XX GB of the file to download.  Sometimes it reports 'Download complete', but you do not have the entire file.

  Burn the file on a DVD using the option of the program of your burner burn DVD file ISO then the DVD is bootable.

  Or you can use this tool to transfer the ISO to a flash USB 4 GB or DVD drive.  The tool also performs the bootable media.

  Then install the drivers and software available that you need your PC support and driver page.

• HPE 270e initialize system repair disk to restore the System Image

  I am really enjoying my new HP HPE 270e Win 7 HP x 64 computer desktop, but for some reason, ESC, F-1, F-8, F - 10 and F - 11 key do not work properly and when restoring the system came out the other day I was forced to restart from Factory Image DVD who put me several weeks back and I was forced to start again set up my computer.

  Before all this happened, I saved an Image of the system 2 different external drives of 1 TB and a Win 7 system repair disc to use to retrieve the System Image, but my office of 270e HPE will not recognize the disc. Nor will it recognize the Macrium reflect Win 7 PE 2.1 "Rescue CD", which will get 2 more pictures system I saved. Even when Windows does not shut down properly, it is impossible to select options indicated to "Start Windows normally".

  According to the blue HP color screen, by pressing the ESC key will allow to the entry of 5.28 BIOS TRUCKEE 1.04E01 of the motherboard to enable the computer to boot from CD/DVD, but I'm currently not able to select ESC or any other option besides. I studied the 5.28 BIOS and it will allow booting from CD/DVD and I hope someone here can instruct me as to how this feature can be activated.

  I have a laptop HP with Vista and every time it starts, it offers access to the ESC and F key options, but just HPE 270e Office ignores this screen and sails right through startup in an average of 20 seconds. Even if I see a quick start that I would gladly seconds on the screen startup options if only I could find a way to enable.

  I appreciate any help with the activation of these startup options in my office of 270e HPE. I spent 5 hours talking to HP Technical Support and all the help they could offer said me "these options will be presented if you need. Well, the possibility of restoring a system from the system repair disc Image is intended for Win 7 did not appear, and I hope that I will be able to acquire knowledge of the implementation of this basic option in Windows 7 Home Premium.

  Although I still don't know why my HPE-270e will not recognize recovery media yesterday I finally could add the Macrium Reflect PE v2.1.2866 my computer Windows 7 start menu and I am now able to boot into Win 7 or consider recovery environments without using the repair disc Windows or the media reflect rescue...

• When I try to create a system image in Windows 7, I get the error 0x8078002A and 0x8007045D code

  I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and try to create a system image on my 3 TB USB 3.0 Seagate Expansion. A few seconds after the start, the backup fails and displays the message:

  The backup failed.

  One of the files of backup could not be created. (0x8078002A)

  Additional information:
  The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error. (0x8007045D)

  I tried to create a system image to multiple computers, which results in the same error codes. I reformatted the disk and run chkdsk, but to no avail. If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

  I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum is frought with for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Two me are familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 7 years without the 1st problem) and Memeo, which has 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from http://memeo.com. You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

  CNET has a lot of reviews of backup program to

  http://download.CNET.com/Windows/backup-software/?tag=contentBody;sideBar

  .

  Some of them are free (the last time I checked there over 300), some have free trials (more), and some are buying only (more than 200).

  Good luck

• 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!

• Unrecognized usb drive, restore the system image

  Replaces the default hard drive in pavilion dv7. The image backup 3 partitions for USB key and system recovery DVD creation. Put in the new hard drive and booted from the recovery DVD. Restore image dialog box does not used the disc. Available, if pilots is so those who? Or I have to download additional drivers for my USB. USB is a sea gate.

  If you have the USB hard drive plugged into a USB 3.0 ports try it switch to a USB 2.0 port.

• When you try to restore the system using the system image, Windows 7 does not find the USB HDD.

  I have 3 computers backed up with their images of system on an external USB drive.

  However, when you try to restore a computer using system image, Windows 7 fails to find the USB HDD.

  I think it would be probably due to the fact that the WindowsImageBackup folder is probably not in the right place or a superfluous folder. Here's an example of how my disk backup has arranged record...

  Root for example E: /.

  -Computer #1

  - WindowsImageBackup
  -ComputerName #1

  -202348 backup 2016-05-29

  -Catalogue

  -SPPMetadataCache

  -MediaID (file)

  -Computer #2

  - WindowsImageBackup 
  -ComputerName #2

  -202348 backup 2016-05-29

  -Catalogue

  -SPPMetadataCache

  -MediaID (file)

  -Computer #3
  - WindowsImageBackup
  -ComputerName #3

  -202348 backup 2016-05-29

  -Catalogue

  -SPPMetadataCache

  -MediaID (file)

  I realize that the WindowsImageBackup folder should be at the origin, so I moved this computer folder #1 a less E:\

  However, restoration is unable to find it and can't even see the USB HDD.

  Can anyone offer advice on what I can hurt?

  Original title: restore the System Image

  Thank you all for responding with your advice and suggestions but the failure has been a bit of my doing (?).

  When I went to another port for the USB, everything worked fine! Simple solution, that I should have tried first - duh! :-)

  My USB 3.0 4TB drive was originally on a port USB 3 (which was either missing or not recognized by my Bios) and when I changed my old disk ports USB 2, everything has worked well!

  Thanks again, all...

• Image of Windows 7 on ssd smaller system restore

  Hi all.  I just wanted to share this guide on how to install windows 7 on an external drive to backup and restore the system image onto a smaller SSD using nothing but free tools and 1 non-Microsoft tool.

  Necessary.
  
  CD Recorvery Windows 7 system.
  GParted Live CD - available on sourceforge
  First backup the existing drive, using Windows Image backup system.  It's pretty basic, and here are the instructions:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-your-programs-system-settings-and-files
  Now that you have the shrink backup the Windows installation partition (partition system reserved + free space must enter target SSD).
  Shrink the Partition of Windows 7 to fit the target SSD:
  Do right click my computer > select Manage > click Disk Management > click with the right button on the windows installation partition (usually c :)) > select "Shrink" > select the maximum allowed by Windows.)  When you're done check to see if this partition with the system reserved partition fits under the size of the target SSD.  In my case I tried to use the Windows disk management, but it would not diminish beyond 100 GB even if there was enough free space, and that was bigger than the 64 GB ssd drive that I wanted to restore.
  Shrink Windows 7 Partition with GParted Live CD if above fails:
  Restart the computer with the Live CD.
  Simply press 'Enter' on all the guests to select the default Options or, if necessary, change options to work with your hardware.  The Live CD will start with GParted already running.  Right click on the partition of Windows Setup.  Select "Resize/move" > click on the right edge of the partition and move it to the left to reduce it until it fits the target SSD. Once you have set the desired size, click "resize/move". Click on the apply"" button. Click on the button "apply" once more to the warning screen pop.  Wait while the partition was resized.  In my case, it was about 12 minutes.  You should see '0 operations pending' on the bottom of the Gparted application window.  Once he finished, double-click on the "Exit" icon on the desktop.  Select "Reboot".  Remove the Live CD, and press "enter."
  When restarting you will probably see a Windows 7 disk management screen.  Let him complete the audit.
  Once restarted in the Windows 7 computer desktop with the desired partition size run another Image of the backup system this time with the desired partition size.  Place the Windows 7 System Image Restore CD and stop.  Unplug the power cord at the back of the computer.
  Install the SSD.  Reboot with the Windows System Image Restore CD.
  Then follow these steps.
  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/7702/restoring-Windows-7-from-an-image-backup/
  Unfortunately, you will probably get a message stating that the image of the system cannot find a suitable disc.  In this case you will be lifted to some more recovery options which is the command prompt.  Launch the command prompt.  In the command line type in
  Diskpart.
  At the diskpart prompt, type
  Select disk = 0
  type
  retail disk
  to ensure that it is the SSD you selected.
  
  Now type
  clean
  then
  output
  Close the command prompt window.  (Credit http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/no-disk-that-can-be-used-for-recovering-the-system/e855ee43-186d-4200-a032-23d214d3d524)
  I had to reboot the computer, because I couldn't always restore the system image without rebooting.
  
  Now repeat the procedure of restore system image.  In case you forgot:
  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/7702/restoring-Windows-7-from-an-image-backup/
  At this point, the image windows 7 system restore worked!
  After the reboot of Windows 7 on SSD turn trim if supported.
  Click on the Start button and type
  cmd
  Right-click the CMD and run as administrator
  Check if the Trim is turned
  fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify (credit http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=86403)
  type
  fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 0
  to activate the Trim.

• 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 .

• Could not start the system image restore

  I am running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.

  I want to try to create "system image" and then restore it. Where will it work for me I will use all my 20 PC.

  My PC has a C: drive

  I partitioned it and now I have C: and D: with an abundance of free space on each.

  What I did:

  1 created 'image system' and it stored on D: Finally I use the external drive for backups (currently I don't have it and I just want to test that I could save/restore)

  2 created "Repair disk", then it I created a bootable USB key, because some of my PC doesn't have a CD ROM

  3. start the machine from USB and select "Restore from system image". He acknowledged that the image is on D: but immediately restore failed with this message:

  "Cannot restore the system selected in this recovery environment image."

  Navigation on various forums, it seems that this message comes because of 32 bit and 64 bit OS repair disc.

  Where my 2 questions:

  1. maybe my question related to the fact that I'm not restoring external hard drive but another partition?

  2. in case I have a problem with 32 bit vs 64 bit... and how it could happened? I used Win 7 Enterprise to create this disc, but I don't know if it defaults to 32-bit or 64-bit or he even gave me the opportunity to choose amongst...

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you
