• I have restored my hard drive for time machine

  I have restored my hard drive of the machine after a malware infection, and now at startup, Finder opens the folder of DVD player. This does not seem to interfere with the normal operation of my computer, but I'm curious to know if anyone has had this happen. I use El Capitan 10.11.4 here's the finder window that opens at startup:

  

  You tried to delete the malware before you restore your system?  It is always better to do this first.  In addition, the backup that you used to restore your system before the malware infection has been took place?

  Edit: Go to system-> general Preferences.  Make sure that 'Close the windows when you exit an application' is checked.

• I can restore a hard drive as a new

  is it possible to restored a disc hard as if it was out of the box (I read that you can install an os over a lifetime of hard drive)

  Hey Danny,

  What you read was not quite correct (and completely wrong if he says what you say it says).

  Assuming you have always the correct drivers and software product keys (if any), I can't imagine a situation where you cannot restore a HARD drive as if it was out of the box (except possibly need to use your product key personal rather than used by the manufacturer, when they made initial installation If you use an installation disk of geniune they provided {with a separate special disc drivers and additional software} rather than special discs supplied by the manufacturer to restore the conditions in factory or these disks you created a restore on the computer partition, or by using the restore partition directly where your unique product key is often but not always is usually not necessary).

  Considers Moreover, under the rules that you've read them, the computer could ever be updated to a new Service Pack, and even less from XP to Vista to W7 to W8 - or other (with restrictions based on how it's done, legally, regarding the upgrade paths and assuming that there is the appropriate drivers for the HARD disk under the new operating system).  It could not be changed from Windows to Linux.  Could not be partitioned to dual boot or startup sort even in different operating systems (which would make this feature a little stupid to have if the HARD drive could have only a single OS on it).

  And to go even further, if it really says what you wrote, you wouldn't even be able to re - install the OS at all since the resettlement would be more than one installation on the HARD drive so if your software system crashed or it became necessary to re - install the system, you will need to buy a new HARD drive to do and this is simply not the case.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I want to format restore my hard drive and then reload my LR4, will be my tags / keywords be lost when I reload LR4?

  All the world done this before?

  @

  You don't mention if you are using a mac or windows computer...

  When you format your hard drive everything above is completely erased.

  When restore you, you restore your operating system only (I'm assuming that you are using the OS restore files don't not restore a backup, because if you restore from a backup then it is not a lot of sense... you will be restore all the crust, too). If you have a backup on an external drive and on a mac, if you have a time machine backup, you can restore the operating system, and then start time machine backup and restore all of your applications and your files (less the system settings) and you'll be in good shape. It may take a while, but it works very well.

  If you use windows, there is probably a similar procedure, but you should get comfortable with it before formatting (in both cases).

• Can't erase hard drive MacBook Pro - "could not disassemble the drive.

  I lost my original install discs Mountain Lion. Spin a MacBook Pro (2011 model).

  I found some articles that show you how to remove & reinstall everything without use of the physical disks. It is to restart my MacBook, pressing command-R, will using this toerase my hard drive and disk utilities

  However, when I try to wipe my drive, this error message appears: "erase disc failed with the error: failed to unmount disk.»

  I have attached a picture of the error that is displayed.

  On the left side of the utility window of disc (see attachment), there where hard disks are displayed, it shows the drive of 500 GB Toshiba MK. Directly below is the option "Macintosh HD."

  This error ONLY appears when I try to erase the disc from Toshiba. But this allowed me to erase the hard drive Macintosh option. Why is this? My drive was nonetheless erased? Or I still have to do something else?

  Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

• Can I restore my hard drive of a copy of disk image?

  I'm trying to restore a MacBook (Yosemite) 2008 following an irreparable error in the car and I have a full disk image that I took using utility disk in recovery mode until I wiped it off. (Apparently, yes Carbon Copy Cloner did a better job, but I didn't have that.) Is there a way to use it to recover from, or can I only use it to manually copy files on?

  (I also have a Time Machine backup, or at least I think I do, but I am currently faced with a challenge of system administrator password , so I was wondering if there is an easier alternative since the Macintosh HD.dmg is right there on my external hard drive).

  If you have TM I would use apples as described here:

• Use disk utility to erase hard drive, erase everything, it

  I just use disk utility to erase the hard drive of Windows base.  It has 6,2 GB of space.  The erase process takes only a few seconds.

  I read that it could take hours.  I suspect that he does not erase the hard drive.    I have several old PC drives and want to use disk utility to erase.

  How would I know if it works?

  I would just use disk utility to put those (journaled) in Mac

  If nothing has been left in the delete process - the format will take care of it

• Restore a hard drive backup time machine (how?)

  I've been Googling this and if you don't find a clear answer.  If you can point me in the right direction please do.

  I have a Mac Pro, and the system drive (a 850 Pro SSD Samsung I installed it a year ago) has failed.  At this point, I can't clone it, and the only recent backup I have is the Time Machine backup.  I have an old backup to clone (if all goes well bootable).

  What is the best way to install a new HD and restore from Time Machine backup?  All of the guides I can find mention using recovery recovery partition or on the internet, or which are options in this case.

  A proposal, it is something like:

  (a) in a way to format the new disk (starting from the bootable clone if all goes well?)

  (b) restart into recovery mode?  Will be (a) install the recovery on the new disk partition?

  I have also 4 readers installed in the Mac (now dead), I don't know if that complicates.  (System, data, and a clone of each.  The clone system is very up to date.)

  (I normally also note make backups with SuperDuper! but for a reason that has not been running on this hard drive for months.)  "And it's too late now).

  Thank you.

  (I'm on the latest version 10.10, not what it says in the signature.  The clone may be some 10,10 versions behind.)

  In particular, the directions of Apple are meaningless:

  OS X Yosemite: restore your entire system

  It is said in short:

  1. Replace the HD.  (Done, now there a disk not formatted instead of a system drive.)
  2. Make sure your Time Machine backup disk is connected and turned on... (of course, ok)
  3. Choose the Apple menu > restart.  (How do I?  There is no OS installed.)

  Etc., but if I followed these instructions I get no further than 2.  With the clone bootable in the computer, there just boots that and will not go into recovery mode (looks like the clone has no recovery partition).  So I'm stuck.

  Suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

• How to regenerate the thumbnails of the Photos after the restoration of hard drive?

  Hello!

  A few weeks ago, our drive hard iMac failed and was repaired under the hard drive replacement program. I have restored our our last backup system, but all of our photo in photo thumbnails are black or white with no details. When we open a photo, that is, but the thumbnails are not visible, making navigation impossible.

  I tried to repair the library. Who did nothing.

  I tried to turn the photos. Turning the last import (300 photos) two-way regenerated the thumbnails OK, but it took 6.5 minutes. I 80 000 pictures. According to my estimate, that makes a little more than 12 days (assuming a linear extrapolation, in any case), during which my CPU will be under a lot of stress.

  I also noticed that the rotation thing has no effect for videos.

  So I thought, as a last resort before putting my Mac in two weeks of enforced non-toucher, I would like to ask if anyone had other ideas.

  Also, does anyone know how to regenerate the photos to the videos?

  Thanks in advance!

  -Mike

  Try first to turn a lot of direction tiles 90 ° and 90 ° backward.  See if that will restore them.  If it works then make lots at once, not the entire library.

  If it does not try to repair the library according to the instructions in this document to Apple: Repair Your Library.

  Warning: If you use iCloud photo library with Photos, this operation will lead to Photos to upload all your pictures again (of difficulty missing or incorrect thumbnails in photo - Apple Support).

  

• erase hard drive

  I had to wipe my hard drive on Pavilion dv6. This is because malware destroyed partitions and I had to use EaseUS Recovery Wizard for data recovery. Now, I would like to format the drive, but it is impossible because the Windows CD cannot map the drive. It was very difficult to access this drive on another pc...

  So I'll erase all sectors with Active KillDisk-disk and then reinstall windows. Maybe it works?

  Hello

  Go to Device Manager, right click on the unknown device 1 and select Properties.  Click on the Details tab, choose hardware ID in the drop-down list and post back with the details presented in the title of the value.

  Repeat this step for each "unknown device".

  Kind regards

• System Restore fills hard drive

  I used Windows XP Home Edition for years, with no problems.  However, in recent weeks, I noticed my hard drive filling up at a rate of almost 1 G new data per day.  I didn't add all the new programs, so I suspected a Virus or a Trojan.  I use Avast Anti-virus and keep SpyBot and SpywareBlaster running and updated.  I ran full scans with these programs and found no problem.  I even downloaded a copy of AVG anti-virus and done a scan with it problems... No..  Then, I came across a program called 'TreeSize' who did a real good job to tell me what's really on the hard drive.  BIINGO!  It seems that my system restore file increases by nearly 1 G per day.  I had about 2 months, control in the system restore points, so I changed the settings about 25 g and lost most of my restore points... AND, my hard disk capacity has increased almost 20 g.

  Windows has changed something in the month last about restoring the operating system?  I've never seen this phenomenon until just last month.  Now that I know what is eating my hard disk space, I can recover easily, but I think something has changed recently to cause this.  The ONLY thing I added to my files in the month were updates of Windows.

  Even after many years, I have only about 20 G on my hard drive, so it was unusual when I started to see the volume of data up to 40 G.  This just started about 3 or 4 weeks... and I did not install new programs.

  Now that I put the restore settings to 25G, I saw no repetition of this 'growth' in the past 2 or 3 days... so time will tell if this fixed my "whim".

  As I said, you must set SR to 1 GB... No 25 GB.

  I guess the sentence I have in bold above means that you have a separate partition for your data.  You don't need restore the system monitor this partition (disc) at all.  Retrieves a few pieces of Bert K site linked in my previous post (emphasis added):

  • System Restore monitors changes to the system and saves the State of the system as a restore point.
  • System Restore does not restore user data or documents, so it will not cause users to lose their files, email, browsing history or Favorites.
  • System Restore monitors and restores a set of file system and application, the States of these files before the change of the archiving system. System Restore also records a snapshot of the registry (Note: some current registry values will persist) and some dynamic system files.
  • Files that are monitored or excluded from the monitoring are specified in the file % windir%\system32\restore\Filelist.xml.
  • To restore a system, System Restore undoes file changes made to the files monitored, taking over the State of the file at a time of the restore point selected. It replaces the current registry with one registered for the selected restore point.

  If indeed you watched a "data disc" and it was the system restore on this drive that increased, it seems that if one of the applications, which stores the data on this disk does not respect the following recommendations:

  • To make sure that your application has the behavior desired after a restore, follow these steps:
    • Be sure to use the extensions compatible with those used in the Filelist.xml file binary application key to protect. For more information, see Monitoring of file Extensions.
    • Do not use controlled types of extensions for files modified by the user. For example, if you name the file of personal data of a user using the .ini extension, the user may lose work because of a system restore.

• Erase hard drive existing "Unauthorized" im said - HELP!

  I would wipe my existing hard drive and reinstall, I insert the disk to format the drive, but I like the version of windows on the drive is older than my system and this prevents the formatting and to leave. I then go to work-right click-format station and this prevents me removing the existing material and the answer is the same.

  I then started to remove the question a little at a time until I thought it was all gone and cela included some sectors/main program files. Now, the pc is in a good state and I did a system restore, but went so that 50% is rubbish all now.

  Can you please let me know how to make a frsh start. The hard drive I use is 250 GB and has only been loaded once to date.

  This means that you have probably installed Service Pack 3, but the disk is not at this level. You can uninstall service packs and do it, and then reinstall service packs and do all the updates of Windows. Or, Google for "slipstreaming" and put your o/s and SP files on a single disc.
