  • Restore from a backup of Windows Image

    Hello. My laptop crashed due to a hard drive failure. I bought a new HD that I want to re - ask a Windows Image backup. But I don't have a Windows 7 bootable recovery CD because the OS came preinstalled on the computer when I bought it. (I remember to create a recovery disk, but I can't find). However, I recently bought a new computer with Windows 10. Is it possible to create a bootable recovery disk Windows 10 in order to restore my old Windows 7 OS on the new HD in my old computer? If so, what is the procedure?

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

    Robert,

    Restore points - I found them little reliable so I stopped using them.

    • I trust instead of images of the system [I partitioned single HARD drive of my laptop in 2 drives with the OS & apps on all my own files on another - it makes system one image breaks as they take less than half an hour to make and at the same time restore].
    • Restore points disappear over time to make room for new ones to make.
    • Nothing can create a subsequent restore point - point restoration, you saw after that install the new update agent was probably made at the beginning of its installation so using this restore point could have set up your computer to the State it was in before to install the new update agent.
    • Restore failed, I don't know what state the computer is now so I think that you need to install the new update agent once again.
    • I think that restore points are supposed to not do anything if they cannot complete successfully, but I don't know if this is what is happening in practice.

    Installation of the new update agent -

    I think you need to install it once more to make sure that all its components are installed correctly.

    The disappearance of the red shield looks like progress [but I am still concerned that the restore attempt point can or could not have].

    Factory restore -

    Where you see references to Restoring factory that has nothing to do with the restore points or WU - "there's still a State factory 2010 option.

    • All computer manufacturers who provide computers with Windows preinstalled must provide a way to reinstall Windows.  Some achieve this goal by providing a reinstallation DVD while others do so by creating a factory restore on the HARD disk that is used partition to reinstall the entire computer from scratch - it reinstalls Windows as it was when you bought the computer but they can omit some of their own utilities to the restore factory image [, so it can be disappointing].
    • A factory restore partition is, indeed, a recessed installation disc.  So it you would set to 2010 and you need to reinstall all your applications.  I think you'd be worse off are you now to the extent where updates to go [you would reach a State before SP1 you might even think of the rollup update].
    • The factory restore partition is almost always on a non-Windows partition [a portion of the drive that Windows doesn't know anything about] If chkdsk would not reveal any useful information.
    • If, but I do not recommend, you wanted to restore factory , then you must follow the procedure in the manual of the computer & on the website of the manufacturer of the computer.

    Corrupt applications -

    • You may have to reinstall these in light of what you have already written.
    • As seems inevitable, installing Windows 10 becomes a possible alternative - if you can solve the current problems without having to reinstall applications and then install Windows 10 seems to me too much extra work.

    The Mute light & hardware drivers -

    This could be a problem with a hardware driver or utility of the machine to a computer.

    • Control of such things as lights Mute tends to be through drivers installed by the manufacturer of the computer so reinstall those who could solve this problem.
    • I expect to find the right driver on the website of the manufacturer of the computer, but, being a non-standard element, I'm only guessing when I suggested that it might be the keyboard driver.
    • On Dell such light would probably be a Dell QuickSet utility function, rather than a keyboard driver, which may also be the case with other computers.
    • If you have installed Windows 10, you would have to do a general review and search for hardware drivers, even if most of them will be detected by & installed by the installation process itself or the original WU that you then run.

    Good luck

  • Restoring files from Windows XP (.bkf) in Windows 7

    I had a complete computer failure and replaced my laptop with a new one running Windows 7. I need to restore all my files from backups made on Windows XP (.bkf files). This doesn't seem to be possible in Windows 7. I saw a few proposals for solutions that involve the restoration of a machine running XP and then transfer the files, but I don't have a second machine to do this. How can I access backed up files?

    And if it does not, you can wait until Microsoft releases the NTBackup Restore Utility for Windows 7 (as they did for Windows Vista). Check out this thread.

    Hi-

    Just got my new iPhone 6s via mail and you want to restore my old s phone backup.  Connect the phone to iTunes you are prompted and receive a message from iTunes I need a newer version updated.  My version is 12.2.2 and when I click on update, I get a message that it is the most recent version.

    Someone knows how to fix this?  I have an iMac OS X 10.7.5.

    Is it because my Mac is the old operating system?

    Yes, you are quite right.

    The latest version of iTunes is 12.3.2.  Running it requires at least OS X 10.8.5.  (Current is OS X 10.11.3.)

    Consider keeping your Mac today if possible.

  • Re: Satellite M300 - can I restore Vista from Windows 7?

    Hi, my laptop model is Satellite M300

    I want to ask all can I have used the recovery disks that I created last time when I was with Windows Vista Home Premium, to restore it back to Vista after I format my C drive and install the new OS which is Windows 7?

    So, if I start the recovery disks that I created last time and run it. Is he able to restore Grand Vista as the factory setting?

    Hello!

    First of all what model of laptop you have exactly?

    The Toshiba Recovery disk normally contains factory settings, which means that all the drivers and tools they have been delivered with the laptop.

    But normally on most computers laptops only trial version of Office is preinstalled. It works for 90 days, as far as I know, and after that, it should be bought if you want to use.
    Your laptop comes with a full version of Office?

  • Im trying to go to a backup Win 7, but unable to restore backup files

    Im trying to restore the backup files to a backup Win 7, but it deosnt let me do

    You are this announcement in an XP forum, so I'm assuming that you try to restore the files on a XP computer?

    Backup format changed between Windows XP and Windows 7.  Windows is a utility that will restore backups of Windows XP on a Windows 7 computer...
       <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/974674 >
    but to my knowledge, there is no use to restore a backup of Windows 7 on a XP machine.
    Better to restore the files on another Win 7 machine and then copy or otherwise transfer on your computer running Windows XP.

  • Restore Windows Vista from Windows 7 backup

    We have two computers a main computer (laptop) with Win 7 which we travel around with. We also have a desktop with Win Vista computer to which we would like to restore the backup for even less risk losing our data. I need help on how to restore from your external hard drive made of win 7 to Win Vista.

    Thank you

    Hi Fred,.

    You can connect the external hard drive to your Windows Vista-based computer, navigate to the location where the data is stored and copy the content, and save it on the Vista computer.

  • Blue screen at the start of WinSrv2008r2 recovered from the backup of windows virtual machine image

    Hello

    At first, everything seems fine:

    -to create the new virtual machine

    -startup disc for instalation of Windows Server 2008 on this VM

    -Select "Repair system" and point the backup image file (full backup - made with standard Windows backup tool)

    -system recovered successfully.

    But then, when the system restart recovered fresh - start start Windows normally - and suddenly it is blue screen with the error 0x0000007b

    IMHO, this first initiated boot of the recovered system trying to twist something in the special part of the disc and he cannot (because it's a virtual disk?)

    Is it possible to recover the system windows image file system server to virtual classic?

    Thanks in advance for all voice :-)

    Greetings,

    RA

    Welcome to the community,

    the error message is related to the controller to start the virtual machine, which is different from the original system, and its drivers are not loaded in Windows. What you try, it is to use the free VMware Converter and run the option "Set up the Machine", which should inject the necessary drivers in the virtual machine. Before doing this, please make sure that the Windows 2008 virtual machine has the default "LSI Logic SAS' controller configured in its settings.

  • after image restore, backup partition table is different

    Hello

    He is a 2012 Macbook mid Pro with El Capitan and Bootcamp.

    After repeated with Bootcamp (Windows 10 Pro) problems I started using Image of Terabyte for Linux in order to safeguard this Macbook. Forums terabyte that people know that the Image of Linux (such as Image for Windows) is able to create a reliable backup, but also to restore - restore an entire disk image or restoring individual partitions.

    I followed their instructions precisely and activated the two options "restore first Beach" and "TPG hidden OS" (as one terabyte official, Member of the forum wrote) when restoring a partition.

    Unfortunately, it did not work! Bootcamp was no longer visible in the start screen or wasn't visible, but not start.

    What I found was that I had to keep the two options (see above) with DISABILITIES.

    Then I could restore some partition images - and 10 Windows in Bootcamp is bootable.

    Well, it was the long introduction.  I'm sorry.

    Now my question is:

    Is this something that has changed my partition table?

    Before restoring an Image for backup of Linux for the first time, I had this partition table:

    localhost: ~ root # fdisk/dev/disk0

    Disk: geometry / dev/disk0: 60801/255/63 [976773168 sectors]

    Signature: 0xAA55

    From end

    #: cyl hd s - cyl hd s id [Start - size]

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3: AB 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63 Boot Darwin [858316088-1269536]

    * 04:07 1023 254 63-1023 254 63 [859586560-117186560] HPFS/QNX / TO THE

    BUT:

    After failed attempts to restore and work finally restore my partition table operation is different:

    Fdisk/dev/disk0

    Disk: geometry / dev/disk0: 60801/255/63 [976773168 sectors]

    Signature: 0xAA55

    From end

    #: cyl hd s - cyl hd s id [Start - size]

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    1: EA 0 0 2 - 1023 255 63 [1-409639]

    2: AF 25 102 15 - 1023 255 63 [409640-857906448] HFS +.

    3: AB 1023 0 57 - 1023 255 63 Boot Darwin [858316088-1269536]

    * 04:07 1023 199 8-1023 255 63 [859586560-117186560] HPFS/QNX / TO THE

    Everything seems to work fine, but I wonder if the different appearance of the partition table can be a problem?

    For example, compare:

    1: EA 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63] 3 o 409639]

    TO

    1: EA 0 0 2 - 1023 255 [63 3 o

    In Fdisk, the CHS numbers are arbitrary on modern disks. They are the time of BIOS and old disks with CHS geometry. Puts BCA from Mac 0-1023 (1024 cylinders), 0-255 (256 heads) and 0-63 (64 sectors). Modern disks far exceed those numbers and would drain them. Must match what is the triplet of start/end/size and it fits in GPT and MBR. You can put arbitrary 0,0,0 for CHS and you will see all issues on GPT disks.

  • System Image recovery, restore the system from an image will include my program inside?

    I have a windows backup Image of the 17/11/2015 which I wan to restore my Windows 7 computer.

    And it will not restore, he said that the system cannot find the specified file.

    What can I do to get it to restore the computer?

    Instead of a "Image Restore" I recommend you to do a "System Restore" to set up Windows back a week or two. You can start the process with rstrui.exe.
