The SSD system image

Hi all

I have an Alienware M18X with a 256 GB SSD PM81.

I am trying to create an image system without success because the source disc read error.

I tried several tools, without success.

Despite the very good performance, SSD drives seems to have a defective and for this reason, all the tools fail sector to create a picture of clone/sytem.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance, Federico

Hey Beaver,

Thanks for you suggestions. I tried clonezilla with - option rescue to ignore bad sectors.

Then I defined a matrix RAID 0 volume using 2 SDS, 256 GB the two.

I wasn't able to clone back the image of the system, so I need to install Windows from scratch...

Ciao, Federico

  • T610 with Windows Embedded 7 - the system does not license for the operating system image

    Hello community,

    I bought a refurbished computer ThinClient T610 that is running a Windows 7 Embedded English. The label on the package says, that the computer ThinClient is allowed with W7E. When I now run Easy Tools installed on the computer ThinClient hp to create a USB Image with the German language, everything works fine: the image is downloaded from the web and put on the stick.

    But after you start the stick, the installation program tells me: "the system does not license for the operating system image. What I am doing wrong? The BIOS is already the latest.

    Or y at - it another way to transform the operating system in German? There should be an option to download additional languages, but this particual window has no other options. And I have not found any manual way to download other languages.

    Concerning

    Michael

    Sometimes it can be so easy... ;-)

    So here's my solution:

    1. go on the Web for hp Support site

    2. go in the software and driver download

    3. set the language of driver on the language of your choice (in fact: it was the main problem)

    4. download an operating system image

    5. run the configuration tool and copy the image of an operating system on a flash drive

    6. restart the workstation and install the os

    7. take advantage of your computer ThinClient in the language of your choice

    I don't know, why the hp Easy Tools downloaded the image of evil, but with this solution, that I find myself at the same point, as if they did.

  • files on the ssd system has lost!

    Does anyone know of a simple way to format with the /s switch on the format command files system, Vista x 64 does not load on my SSD without file system. Vista x 32 is responsible to this topic... install aborted, just used the Vista x 32 to validify disk SSD.

    All I have to do is to run the format command on the disk... and transfer system, but notting works

    Format/s
    Copy the files of the operating system IO. SYS, MSDOS. SYS and COMMAND.COM
    to boot your system to a new disk drive formatted you can
    use as a system disk. If the FORMAT can not find the operating system files,
    It prompts you to insert a system disk.

    Just run the command with the switch, and he should ask the disk system to get the files, then they willl be on the SSD and you should be all set.  I suspect it's more complicated than that, because you knew that the law change so I guess you already tried what precedes, and it did not work.  Is it possible that the SSD is not compatible with Vista 64 bit?

    Be more specific about what happens or does not happen when you try the above, if this does not work.

    Good luck!

  • Setup cannot create or find the partition on the SSD system

    I'm trying to install windows 7 on my PC which has a 120 GB OCZ SSD. It ran windows XP very well. I get to the screen where you choose the partition to install to. When I click Next, I get the following error: "Setup could not create a new partition or system to locate a system partition. See logs of installation for more information".

    Currently, the drive is a large partition and the type is the system. I can format or delete, and then click new partition, but that by default uses the primary type, which does not work either. Extend is gray and I have not found any drivers for the OCZ SSD.

    Don't think it will be serious, but here are the specs of the system. Core 2 Quad 2.66 Ghz, Nvidia 9800 GTX, OCZ 4 GB of ram, 120 GB SSD, 500 GB HARD drive (do not want to install here because of files I need and no reason to install here when I have an SSD), DFI Lanparty X 48 LT - R (not 100% on the - r)

  • Do I have to activate the system image on the SSD?

    Stephanie,

    Is it possible to install Win'a 8.1 on external USB3 2 TB drive (WD My Passport) or USB3 thumb drive (64 GB or 128 GB 256Go) and boot from the external drive later?

    On Dell XPS 15 laptop computer with touch screen, it is the model which has two readers. I intend to upgrade the two system has so 1 TB mSATA and 1 TB SSD.

    It is possible to:

    Install Win 1 TB mSATA 8.1

    Do the Windows system image backup

    1 TB SSD restore

    Then be able to boot from the drive?

    Given that the product key is embedded in the BIOS, 8.1 win on both drives is enabled?

    You know other options to clone Windows discs?

    Install Win 1 TB mSATA 8.1

    Clone 1 TB to 1 TB SSD mSATA

    I'll look at the following:

    DD - Unix/linux command

    ddrescue

    Redo Backup

    Clonezilla

    I believe that all the options I listed above will require the creation of USB which is bootable with any of the listed software.  Realize this is out of scope of MS; thought I'd ask just in case.

    Wish windows supplied with software of clone of road built, but other providers complain probably on antitrust, etc...

    I confirmed not triggered because the license is built into the rom of the BIOS on the motherboard.

    As long as systems are nearly identical and OS is the same, then readers (mSATA) can be interchanged between systems and activation is not required.

    About the cloning of disks mSATA:

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I use Acronis True Image 2014 which I used to clone drives and it worked several times on the following:

    a. of the smallest disk to disk more

    b. larger drive to the smaller drive

    While I did with Acronis True Image 2014 disk image backups, I still need to confirm that I can restore successfully using the backup to disk image.

    For the cloning now works and that's all, I care really.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I used also successfully "dd" command from Ubuntu 14.04 to:

    a. clone drive to drive directly several times since I last summer on this thread.

    b. make compressed backups of disk image

    c. restored from a backup image

    I've created a Live Ubuntu USB key that I can use to get started with any PC equipped with a USB port.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I also discovered ZTC sky Council mSATA case USB3

    Get average 275 MB/s reading speed.

    I've used this forum to successfully clone disks mSATA two ways:

    a. mSATA attachment mSATA in laptop

    b. mSATA in mSATA in attachment laptop

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    A suite and was able to boot from speaker ZTC:

    Had an mSATA 1 TB from another system 8.1 Win that has been correctly configured and personalized running. The system is exactly the same as another system I have except CPU is faster in 2nd system.

    1 take 1 to 1 system mSATA.
    2 put the 1 TB mSATA ZTC here.

    3. connect pregnant ZTC 2nd system
    a. Dell XPS 15 9530
    b. port Super speed USB3

    4. turn on the laptop
    5 press F12

    6. selected pregnant JMicron and system booted right up.

    7 Win 8.1 very responsive touchscreen.
    8. all other very sensitive operations.
    9. no more worrying failure by car.

    I'll keep clone in one of these envelopes, so I'll always be able to start immediately in the event of hardware failure of the drive.   I can also clone speaker for laptop and places itself in a few minutes, not in hours.

    !!!!!!!!!!!!

    No more waste of time.
    No more loss of productivity.
    No more lost files, data, or licenses.
    No more lost system or application configurations.

    No more distraction or frustration.

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I can't explain the peace of mind, I now because my system is very suitable and configured and if the disc has been lost (misbehaves, failed or dead) I now have a bootable clone which was confirmed and ready to go. Simply plug pregnant, the system restarts, select start from the box and I am running immediately with 'EVERYTHING' intact. No hours or days later.

    This is much better than making a backup image or a clone, and "ASSUMMING", they are good. So many people, even companies, saving its data, making images for backup to disk or even clone disks, but never check backups and clones due to the time it takes to do.

    Another good thing about this package is that I don't have to open up the laptop and swap discs. Just clone for speaker, then to start immediately pregnant to confirm.

    This place solves one of my backup issues.

    Lets clone mSATA inside the laptop to mSATA in case ZTC, then start at the mSATA inside ZTC to validate the cloning has worked.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    200 MB/s to 300 MB/s reads... with this case - according to mSATA you buy
    200 MB/s to 250 MB/s writes... with this case - according to mSATA you buy

    My laptop has super speed USB3 ports, not legacy USB3 ports

  • 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.

  • Alienware 15 R2 - boot from the SSD m2

    Hello

    My employer has replaced my old laptop work with an Alienware 15 R2, and the it Department installed Windows 8.1 (most other software I need) on the 1 TB drive HARD but left white M.2 256 GB SSD.

    I want to have the system startup of the SSD instead, so I cloned the two partitions ('System reserved' and 'Windows') from the HDD to the SSD using EaseUS Todo Backup. However, in the BIOS settings, I see no option to have the system startup of the SSD m2 - I tried the UEFI and inheritance settings.

    Please can someone tell how can I have the start of the SSD system?

    Thank you.

    P.S. I prefer not to return the system to my IT Department as it could be with them for a long period of time. I have full admin rights on the systems and I'm not adverse to some tech work.

    I have it fixed now, so I've added some info here for someone else in the same situation...

    It turns out that I couldn't start to the SSD m2 except if the system drive is converted from MBR/GPT/UFEI BIOS (or unless Windows is installed in a first time as UFEI, which wasn't the case with my cloned system image).

    I converted the drive in UEFI by following the 'conversion Windows installation UEFI BIOS' guide on Microsoft Technet and after the start of the system in UFEI mode I was able to boot from SSD. (I also ran MiniTool Partition Wizard to ensure that the new Windows partition was properly aligned and launched "formal winsat v ' starting from a command prompt with admin rights to have Windows optimize settings for the new drive")

  • Increase the performance of MAC with the SSD upgrade

    I have a 21.5-inch iMac model 14.1 (end 2013) with 8 GB of memory and a 1 TB drive. On this, I use some applications in memory such as Adobe CS 5.5 and VMWare Fusion 8.1.1. I have Applecare on the machine until September 2017. I often find myself running out of memory. My goto solution would be to increase the memory and replace the hard drive with an SSD. I fear, however, that this cancels my Applecare. My research indicates that while that frowned upon, I can upgrade my memory and keep my Applecare as long as it is done by an authorized by Apple, but if I do the SSD I'm out of luck for the installed components. My thought is that I can get an external SSD and move the ' WIndows 10' VM (s), as well as expand and move the swapfiles for the SSD system.»

    My questions are am I right about the Applecare and warranty and I plan to use an external SSD to accelerate performance and ease the work of memory constraints?

    I have f

    I have a Macbook Air in 2010 and also a 2008 iMac - both with only 4 GB of memory (you have twice as much), both running El Capitan and the two with SSD - and perform very well. The 2008 iMac used to have a rotating disc which has recently failed, with the replacement of SSD, it is a remarkable transformation with the new SSD, it seems very quickly for me. Both have Photoshop CS4, which is not used much more, but they run this software very well, as well as MS Office 2011 and other programs such as Mail, Safari, Firefox, etc. (Firefox + Photoshop together put a noticeable load on machines, in fact, but while I sometimes hear the fans come on the Macbook Air, it maintains not up very well) No slowdown) You'll be in great shape with a SSD for your newer computer. These old machines that I use have Core 2 Duo CPUs, chips relatively slow, but they seem very quickly with the SSD.

    You will need to check with Apple directly on your AppleCare and so that would be affected. I don't know that anyone is not Apple should trust this question.

  • Qosmio G30-102 not start after the SSD upgrade

    I have 2 x 840 Pro 256 GB SSD to install in my machine which usually runs two drives independently.

    I used the software to Clone of Samsun to clone my C drive which has XP on it.

    The cloning was successful.

    On the installation of the new SSD, it will be now does not start and keeps cycling to the F12 boot screen.

    I tried all the options without result.
    Any ideas?

    Hello

    I had a similar experience with an upgrade of the SSD.
    I used exactly the same software and has been able to clone partitions of HARD drive to SSD drive and my cell phone did not start the system from the SSD system partition.

    I figured out that the C: partition on the SSD was not marked as active.
    How I solved this?

    Well, I put the SSD in the 2.5 external USB enclosure. Then I booted the laptop using the old HDD. I connected the external SSD drive to the USB port.
    Then I went to Windows disk management and could activate the C partition on the SSD drive.
    Then I replaced the HARD drive with SSD and could boot. :)

  • 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 .

    You cannot use the Acer Image on Dell machine.

    If Acer Recovery disk or the Acer System Image machine that you did is only for this Acer computer

    1. it is forbidden to transfer preinstalled OEM license to another machine.

    2. it would not probably start anyway due to the different motherboard drivers installed in the Acer System Image that the card mother Dell.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    If the machine came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you can not delete the system image. We will help you solve the problem.

    This problem may occur when your computer is infected by virus or malware, I suggest you run a full scan of your computer using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if that helps.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
