• How to restore a back up on top of an external hard drive

  Hello.  I just got a new laptop from HP windows 8 and you want to restore a back up I took my old HP laptop on an external hard drive.  When I plug the hard drive, the ups return display in the file Explorer, but I can't find a way to restore the backup to the new laptop, the only option I can find is to know how to put in place to save on the hard drive and restore the files that I've just saved from the new laptop.  There is nothing really on the new computer laptop so it doesn't matter if I lose these (and they are now saved when even!), its mainly pictures and iTunes on the back up, a few old excel & word files I think.  When I click on Explorer the external hard drive in the file, there is a PC owner icon that shows a folder named Backup set & the date, he didn't save folders of files for various dates, in the most recent are the backup files 1 & backup files 2, from 2012.

  How can I get these on the new laptop?  I can't take another back up as the old laptop crashed and lost everything, where the need to get this back up to the new computer.

  Help, please!  Thank you

  Hello Jacq,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  As described in the question, I understand that you are unable to find a way to restore your backup of the old computer stored on an external drive on your new computer windows 8.

  In earlier versions of Windows (Windows 7, Vista), you can use Backup and Restore to back up your files or create and use a backup or image system repair disc. Windows 8 and 8.1 gives you choices on how you can recover your PC and backup your personal files.

  You can use the file history to back up the files on your PC in Documents folders, music, photos, videos and office and the OneDrive available offline on your PC. First of all, you need set up a historical file player and turn on the history of the files. For more information, see set up a drive to the history file. If your original files are lost, damaged or deleted, you can restore them. You can also browse and restore different versions of your files. For more information, see to restore files or folders by using the history file.

  You can also view the Microsoft article below for more information about restoring your backup of the data on your new computer Windows 8.

• Back-Up * two * computers with * a * external hard drive?

  I have a Dell desktop computer and a laptop 6358.   Vista on the laptop, XP the other.

  I would buy an external hard drive and use it to back up the two systems.

  Is it not just possible, but easy to use?  I don't want a fancy coding project, as I am just a user

  Other tips suggest it may be better to just get two separate drives, but I thought I would seek some straight dope here in the world of HP.

  Thanks in advance.

  If the drive supports USB 2.0, then're you good to go.  If you need to save a file that is greater than 2 GB, then you can benefit with eSATA if taken in charge by your PC.  If you have up to 500 MB of data, then USB 2.0 would be an acceptable compromise.  Remember that the speed of transfer of files more small piles is much slower than a large file.  That's why I like to put important data in a partition logic extendend separate on the same hard drive and use an imaging program to back up this partition on CD, DVD, or another hard drive.  The result is a compressed image unique record about 1/2 the size of the source partition.

• # 500-164 HP model: backed up my files in 2 external hard drives, and then made recovery, came back and recovery error

  I saved my files to two external hard drives and then did a recovery.  After the end of the recovery, it says error recovery and no change to the computer.    I left that screen and booted up, but the computer does not go to the lock screen.  Circle of HP logo lights up and goes, but nothing happens.

  How can I get to the lock screen?   I have tried F11 and Esc.

  Your post shows your PC than the execution of win10, but it comes preinstalled with Win8x.  This means that at some point, you've done setting at Win10 level, and unfortunately, that corrupts the information of HP recovery: HP Recovery Manager blocked after Windows 10 Upgrade - HP Support Forum's - 5170752

  Once you do this upgrade, the ONLY way to perform a recovery after that use HP recovery media.

  Ordinarily, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state. That would erase the entire disk, format the drive and install the operating system, drivers and utilities HP.
  
  Unfortunately, there is no support of HP recovery related to HP for your PC Product Page. This could be an oversight by HP, or it could also mean that HP stock is no longer the recovery media for your PC.
  
  You can try to contact the HP customer directly, using the links below, to see if you can order them if:

  If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
  
  If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
  
  NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!

  ---------------------------------------
  However, HP customer care is generally not available on weekends, so you will have to wait until Monday to contact them.
  ---------------------------------------

  If HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

• 0x8078012D error code when you back up the new pc for external hard drive

  I have a brand new HP Pavilion Windows 7 Home Premium desktop/8 GB memory/1 terabyte hard drive. Just hung up 3 days ago, and after installing my software, attempted to perform a full backup with the image of a brand new Toshiba Canvio 500 GB external hard drive. I get 0x8078012D error code, without interruption.  I did a check on the external hard drive disk, and it was good. I did a check for virus on the external hard drive, and that was good. I have triple checked the settings for backup and they are as I want them to be. -What is the Toshiba external hard drive or my bad nine HP desktop computer?  I had to call HP tech support yesterday as 2 programs, I had already installed has stopped working, but also Java and Adobe Flash Player. HP technical support was not only bad in his work, but right has supported up and hard with me and talked to me. I told her to give me control of my computer and down the phone that I reported him. He wrecked settings that I had, I did a system restore on the eve of the appellant, which was day 2 of owning the new pc. Now everything works as it was and I think that the 2 programs stopped working due to a Microsoft update that I had done that day. I don't have re-uploaded the 6 latest updates from MS and pc seems to work very well, but I can still save on the Toshiba Canvio external hard drive. Last resort, I reformatted the Toshiba Canvio to NTFS, even if it has already formatted to. Still can not make a backup on the external drive. I don't know what to do. Return the pc?  Return the Toshiba Canvio?  I'm in debt $650 for these 2 pieces of metal. Help please!

  Hello

  The error would have occurred if the services related to backup Windows could have been disabled. This can also occur due to other security software installed on the computer.

  Y at - it a third-party security software installed on the computer?

  I suggest you to check if the services are running and in manual mode.

  You can follow the methods:

  Method 1:

  Follow the steps to check if services are running. If not, restart them and check if that helps:

  (a) click Start.

  (b) type Services in the start search.

  (c) in the Services window, search for the shadow copy volume.

  (d) right click on the Service.

  (e) click Properties.

  (f) select Start on ManualType.

  (g) click OK.

  (h) now repeat the same steps for Windows backup service as well.

  Check if you find the same error trying to save using the hard disk. If Yes, proceed to method 2.

  Method 2:

  I suggest to temporarily disable the security software installed on the computer and check if it helps. Check out the link to do so:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Important note: security software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  It will be useful.

  Just reply to us with the results. We will be happy to help you.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely help you with this.

  To help you suggest several steps to solve the problem, I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions:

  1. you receive an error code or message?

  2. have you made any recent hardware or exchange of software on your computer before the show?

  3 have you tried to connect the external hard drive on another USB port?

  Please follow the methods and mark the question below:

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to run the Microsoft Fix It from the link below.

  b. click System and Maintenance, click System and then click on Device Manager.

  Note: If the control panel is in Classic view, double-click System, and then click Device Manager.

  Then, restart your computer and Windows will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.

  Note: Connect USB devices to the computer once the drivers of conflict are uninstalled, and once the computer is restarted.
