• Satellite A100-784: fact partition system restore DVD formats

  Hi guys,.

  I would ask you for help :)

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-784 with Windows Vista Home Basic OEM.
  I have this Toshiba system recovery DVD. If I press F8 during start up I get to the screen where are some options (repair at startup etc.) but I'm interesting in 'Exploitation Windows System Restore'.
  I have two partitions (C:, D :), the system partition is C: :)
  So, I would ask if I use this "Exploitation Windows System Restore" there he reformatted data on the D: partition as well?

  If I press F8 when booting I get to the menu, I chose this computer repair and after that there are options:

  1 startup repair.)
  2 system restore.)
  Restoration complete 3 PC.) Windows
  Memory 4 Diagnostic tool.) Windows
  5. command prompt)
  6 operating system restore.) Windows

  Is it possible to use one of these function just to reinstal C: partition without losing data on the D: partition?

  Thanks for the reply :)

  Hi friend

  usually the system restore the c: partition fair DVD formats, so if you have two separate partitions, the restore DVD should leave the D: partition intact.
  In your case I would choose point 6. (Operating system restore) that supposedly only restores the operating system, which means that it scratches the C: drive...

• How to do a system restore to vista settings factory

  Microsoft Vista Edition home premium

  6.0.6002 service pack 2 Build 6002

  It won't let me. I back up the files and restore files only. I clicked on restore advance, which is the configuration and status of backup and restore files, I see if. I don't have a disc. How should I do system restore the original configuration. Step by step guide.

  Usually, you get 2 options which is recommended to restore and choose a different restore point. I don't get any of those.

  I do not understand how my other computer (vista) I would like to do system restore to factory settings without using discs and what a custom?

  Hello

  You do not use the Vista System Restore feature to put your computer to the factory settings.

  System Restore updates only your computer settings to an earlier date.

  How to do a restore to factory settings, ask your computer manufacturer.

  You would either find a way to start the process under programs > then the manufacturer of the computer software > look it up it > or you will need to press some keys at startup.

  It would be either F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them how to do it because it's their recovery process.

  Or ask them to send you a set of Vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  See you soon.

  p.s. Save your files as all data will be lost normally when you perform a restore to the factory settings

• System Restore (with backup) for Windows XP how to restore the files from here?

  I saw the other posts for this but they have not answered the question. When I look in the C drive, and open the folder backup (backup C:\My--01/12/23 1134 AM), my photos, videos and documents are not available or are invisisble. When I tried to make hidden files visible, all my desktop icons and all the Start Menu program buttons disappear. I can see the files when I search with a software such as jdiskreport - 1.4.0, but I'm unable to move with this program. When I tried to move them with jdisk... they is locked in the tree of files of jdiskreport. Whenever these trees of missing or file icons has locked, I had to restore to the good previous restore point. In my view, the full restoration of the system (with backup) fails and should be avoided at all costs.

  So, if someone knows a way to access these files, I would appreciate the help of course. And please, no answers don't like "cannot not you just copy and paste?" because it is not currently a solution until the files are visible without erasing my desktop and the Start Menu.

  Hello

  Select the advanced restore options to restore the files. See the steps in the following article.

• At the system restore in Vista after getting a virus, now cannot get the safety at work

  I've had a computer for years and I had no problems until the last year and a half.  Then I had a virus to an e-mail from a former anti-virus software, I used, which I left keep send me emails from the evolution of the virus.  When I went to their website to view their information, their was a sign saying something like 'got there' and he kindly sent a beautiful virus I fight since then, and I decided tonight, I'm giving up the white flag, unless someone can help me.  I had my computer 'cleaned' three times, without success.  Once my nephew, who went to college for this and works in a company.  I am so tired of problems.  I want to just turn my computer... and use it.  That's all.  Not fight against it.  I'm ready to bury it in the back yard, in my garden (but it will certainly not grow anything buy weed) and buy something new.  My security to endpoint Symanted "file system Auto-Protect does not work correctly.  I just reset my computer back tonight at 3/15..when my nephew 'fixed' my computer for me.  And my security does not work.  My computer does not work.  It seems every time that something is done that the virus takes as a "victory", it becomes stronger.  Any advice?

• Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

  After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

  Help, please!

  I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

  The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

  You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

  Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

• Host Windows system restore back up virtual machines the VMWare Workstation?

  Is it save to perform a restore of the system on a Windows host running VMWare Workstation 9.0.2 with the premises of virtual machines? I just need confirmation that the VMs will be still functional after restoring the system.

  Welcome to the community,

  System Restore should not touch all personal documents, what configuration file and virtual disk are in reality. However, a restoration of the system can change the parameters of the application Windows for for example VMware Workstation. Anyway most that should happen is that you have to reinstall VMware Workstation in such a case.

  see "what files changed during a system restore?" at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/system-restore-faq

  In any case, it is always useful to have a current backup!
