Restore will not ask for ALL my backup set.

Had to replace a failing hard drive.  The whole process of installation and update of all my software went seamlessly.  Restore my PERSONAL files, however, has been a nightmare.

I have a set of 3 backup disks (each successive), but has asked only the FIRST restore disc and then (VERY briefly) used the other.

Unfortunately, not all the files that he handed in my hard drive are the latest versions, and some of my files are still missing.

QUESTION: How can I force restore to call for ALL 3 of the consecutive backup drives before he leaves?

I've been at this for hours, and I got it about.   GRRRR.

Hello

1. the restore process hang or fail?
2. do you get an error message?

We cannot force all disks to restore both. The backup and restore only will guide you to complete the restore process.

  • Windows will not ask for password after disconnection and stop

    machine is aspire R13, WIN 10

    I set up a password for OS - on the machine, do not use a windows account. After the outside panel and closure, opening the lid takes me straight on the desktop without having to ask for a password. What is a password, if anyone can open the lid and have access to everything?

    If instead of disconnecting and leaving the computer to sleep, so he asked a password to wake up - as if an unknown person will have access to the computer to wake up from sleep. How stupid!

    Is that the reason for this is that microsoft is forcing me to use a MS account for the connection in order to use my machine?

    From another forum, the solution was simple: change the password. Now, he asks a password after disconnection.

  • Windows 8 will not ask for password on wake up from sleep

    My Dell laptop since the upgrade to windows 8 Windows 7, when I close my lid does not go to sleep, or when I wake to sleep, it does not ask me for a password, everything has been reset to the default values, but I don't know why it doesn't work. someone please help!

    The solution, as someone else has asked this question also and got the correct answer - see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-performance/password-after-sleep/8ef46143-300e-41e8-aafb-b61782b67145 . There is a new setting of Windows 8 on top normal settings in the power settings.

    Be aware that setting how long time should pass before asking to specify a password is required is a per-user setting, so if you need to change the default value of 15 minutes, it takes to each user created on the system.

    For me, I took me 1 minute rather than always for all users, as it is pleasant, if after an accidental sleep, a user can always resume immediately. But the foregoing I have a password.

  • System Restore will not work for any date and computer says that it is running in auto mode.

    I have a 30 GB master and slave of 160 GB. 26/03/11 I copied a large file of 11 GB of the master to the slave because I received alerts that the disc was or almost. After you have copied from C to D, I deleted the C file and the missing file of the two drives. I tried to use the restore of the system without result. No matter what I do "Unsuccessful System Recovery" is the only message I get. Is it possible to recover a file that took me hours to compile it?

    This looks like a self-inflicted wound / pilot error.

    Deleting files in the Recycle Bin does not release disk space.  When you delete things in the trash, all you really do behind the scenes moves the items from one folder to another folder (the folder to the Recycle Bin).  They always take place until you clear items from the trash.

    System Restore won't help you recover personal files anyway - this isn't what he does.  SR cares your personal files.

    A backup will help recovery of personal files.

    I think it's against the rules for people at Microsoft to suggest or sometimes even to read all the information of any URL Internet that does not begin with microsoft.com, where the previous warning about third party programs.

    However, I think that to get off the beaten track (as they say).

    This is a popular program of third party who sometimes helps to recover accidentally deleted files:

    http://www.Piriform.com/Recuva

    It may be too late for your files, but I would also check the configuration of your trash if you have several volumes of hard drive from your symptoms question do not quite add up correctly.

    Even if SR would not help in this case, your SR expected still works what is another potential problem to solve.

    Now I'm folding stock and return things to the technical support engineers.

  • HP Pavilion 15-n013ca: HP Pavilion - system will not ask for a user connection

    Had a virus - malware.  load malwarebytes and cleared.  I was able to reboot and log in.  I had too many running - Kaspersky, Mcafee and Windows virus protection systems.  Kaspersky has expired, then started the uninstall, frozen system.  I had to do a hard reboot.  I am now in a situation where when I start the laptop, the system receives the background color shows the date and time, but ask not my user name and password.  I can't connect to the laptop at all.

    I don't have a set of boot disks to this system.  I bought with windows 7, improved a couple of years of Windows 8 and never got to create a bootable cd.  What are my options?  I don't know if it's the windows registry which is damaged or not.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    As you started to uninstall Kaspersky, the system should created a restore point, if you can try to restore it as follows.

    Stop of the laptop and leave it like that for 10 seconds.

    Tap here to f11 as soon as you press the power button until you see a message "Windows is loading.

    On the next screen, select your Keyboard Layout and on the next screen, select Troubleshooting.

    Select 'Advanced Options', and then select System Restore.

    Click on yourcurrent system O and then wait as the system restore window opens.

    Choose the restore point created before you uninstall Kaspersky and then proceed to the system restore.

  • Stor.E Slim 1 TB does not ask for password

    So I put a password on this disc using the supplied software.
    Then I took to use on another PC and it will not ask for a password?

    Do I have to install the software password on all laptops / PC that I use?

    Lock password software is needed to define the password reset / clear the password already set.

    If the HARD drive / data on the disk HARD has been already locked, you should always asked a password in case you want to access the protected data.

  • Apple Watch does not ask for password

    In recent days, I discovered something disturbing.  If I take off my Apple Watch and put back on without having to type in the code 4 digit, even after an extra charge per night, it will not ask for a password after an hour or two and works normally.  If it's supposed to happen?  I couldn't find anything in the support forums.

    I got my setup shows to use a password because I got it last December.

    Hi Suzanne

    If you use the following settings:

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > detection of wrist - on.

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: Watch My > password > enabled.

    -Also on screen settings of password - unlock with iPhone turned on.

    Then, after putting on your wrist, your watch will unlock after whatever you do first: unlock your watch manually (by entering the access code) or unlock your iPhone.

    Then, it will remain unlocked (including when the screen is idle) until you remove it from your wrist. When you remove your watch, it locks automatically.

    System Restore will not work

    Hi FriendFriend,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    3. you receive an error message when running the system restore?

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state, and then try to clean boot.

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.
