• 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.

• Windows Vista Home Edition - create and restore the system image

  One of my laptops old becomes a problem with a disk error.  I need to create a system image, replace the disk, and then restore the image.  Vista Home does not include the option to create an image - although a lot of 3rd party tools do.  Does anyone have experience using a 3rd third-party tool to do what I want, that is, restore the saved image to the new disk.  I plan to use a USB external drive to store the image so anything I start since then will have to be able to see and read from the external USB drive.

  Hello

  be able to boot from a USB key depends on the properties of your motherboard

  hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk

  Search for information on this subject on their Web site

  as you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

• Can the Win8 recovery drive and the System Image be stored on the same device?

  I intend to create a windows 8 recovery on my USB HDD drive.  Then, I want to create a System Image using the file Win7 recovery tool, but put on the same HARD drive, so that I don't have 2 devices.  Normally, I believe the recovery drive utility fits on a 256 MB USB key, but why not co-exist with the system image files?

  Hello

  Yes, you are right. To store an image of the system, the disc must be in NTFS format. Please refer to the information on the following link; If it's for Windows 7, the information is true for Windows 8 as well.

  Back up your programs, files and system settings

  Hope this information is useful.

• HPE 270e initialize system repair disk to restore the System Image

  I am really enjoying my new HP HPE 270e Win 7 HP x 64 computer desktop, but for some reason, ESC, F-1, F-8, F - 10 and F - 11 key do not work properly and when restoring the system came out the other day I was forced to restart from Factory Image DVD who put me several weeks back and I was forced to start again set up my computer.

  Before all this happened, I saved an Image of the system 2 different external drives of 1 TB and a Win 7 system repair disc to use to retrieve the System Image, but my office of 270e HPE will not recognize the disc. Nor will it recognize the Macrium reflect Win 7 PE 2.1 "Rescue CD", which will get 2 more pictures system I saved. Even when Windows does not shut down properly, it is impossible to select options indicated to "Start Windows normally".

  According to the blue HP color screen, by pressing the ESC key will allow to the entry of 5.28 BIOS TRUCKEE 1.04E01 of the motherboard to enable the computer to boot from CD/DVD, but I'm currently not able to select ESC or any other option besides. I studied the 5.28 BIOS and it will allow booting from CD/DVD and I hope someone here can instruct me as to how this feature can be activated.

  I have a laptop HP with Vista and every time it starts, it offers access to the ESC and F key options, but just HPE 270e Office ignores this screen and sails right through startup in an average of 20 seconds. Even if I see a quick start that I would gladly seconds on the screen startup options if only I could find a way to enable.

  I appreciate any help with the activation of these startup options in my office of 270e HPE. I spent 5 hours talking to HP Technical Support and all the help they could offer said me "these options will be presented if you need. Well, the possibility of restoring a system from the system repair disc Image is intended for Win 7 did not appear, and I hope that I will be able to acquire knowledge of the implementation of this basic option in Windows 7 Home Premium.

  ~ Maxx ~.

  Although I still don't know why my HPE-270e will not recognize recovery media yesterday I finally could add the Macrium Reflect PE v2.1.2866 my computer Windows 7 start menu and I am now able to boot into Win 7 or consider recovery environments without using the repair disc Windows or the media reflect rescue...

• HP Pavilion model p6703w: restore the system image new hard drive

  Failed hard drive. Brought new and try to make a system image restore. Boot using the Windows 7 repair disk. Start the image recovery. Work for a minute or two and gives me the following error.

  Windows backup cannot extend or mount the recovered volume file system. (0 x 80780124), I have win 7 disc because it did not come with the computer, I created an ERD and multiple system images as back up but I am now stuck.

  Help!

  Hello:

  I can't help you with why the image of the system will not work, but here's a way you can reinstall W7 by using the product key of W7 25 characters on your PC case.

  Make your own plain W7 x 64 installation media.

  Here is the link to the download site of Microsoft for the W7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 ISO file.

  http://MSFT.digitalrivercontent.NET/win/X17-24209.ISO Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 English

  Make sure you get all the 3. XX GB of the file to download.  Sometimes it reports 'Download complete', but you do not have the entire file.

  Burn the file on a DVD using the option of the program of your burner burn DVD file ISO then the DVD is bootable.

  Or you can use this tool to transfer the ISO to a flash USB 4 GB or DVD drive.  The tool also performs the bootable media.

  Then install the drivers and software available that you need your PC support and driver page.

• Pavilion dv6-2162nr laptop: install the new hard drive with the system image

  I have a hp laptop dv6-2162nr win 7 I am about to install a new hdd Seagate, I have the repair disk and recovery disks that I made at the outset after purchase. I also updated backup files and file system image. I want to recover my file system registered... at what time; using the recovery discs, the new Seagate hdd will be ready to get a picture of systems?

  BobO2

  Recovery disks do not use the Image you did install Windows and all software/drivers hard disk from the factory original.

  You would start with repair cd to restore the Image.

• When you try to restore the system using the system image, Windows 7 does not find the USB HDD.

  I have 3 computers backed up with their images of system on an external USB drive.

  However, when you try to restore a computer using system image, Windows 7 fails to find the USB HDD.

  I think it would be probably due to the fact that the WindowsImageBackup folder is probably not in the right place or a superfluous folder. Here's an example of how my disk backup has arranged record...

  Root for example E: /.

  -Computer #1

  - WindowsImageBackup
  -ComputerName #1

  -202348 backup 2016-05-29

  -Catalogue

  -SPPMetadataCache

  -MediaID (file)

  -Computer #2

  - WindowsImageBackup 
  -ComputerName #2

  -202348 backup 2016-05-29

  -Catalogue

  -SPPMetadataCache

  -MediaID (file)

  -Computer #3
  - WindowsImageBackup
  -ComputerName #3

  -202348 backup 2016-05-29

  -Catalogue

  -SPPMetadataCache

  -MediaID (file)

  I realize that the WindowsImageBackup folder should be at the origin, so I moved this computer folder #1 a less E:\

  However, restoration is unable to find it and can't even see the USB HDD.

  Can anyone offer advice on what I can hurt?

  Original title: restore the System Image

  Thank you all for responding with your advice and suggestions but the failure has been a bit of my doing (?).

  When I went to another port for the USB, everything worked fine! Simple solution, that I should have tried first - duh! :-)

  My USB 3.0 4TB drive was originally on a port USB 3 (which was either missing or not recognized by my Bios) and when I changed my old disk ports USB 2, everything has worked well!

  Thanks again, all...

• Could not start the system image restore

  I am running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.

  I want to try to create "system image" and then restore it. Where will it work for me I will use all my 20 PC.

  My PC has a C: drive

  I partitioned it and now I have C: and D: with an abundance of free space on each.

  What I did:

  1 created 'image system' and it stored on D: Finally I use the external drive for backups (currently I don't have it and I just want to test that I could save/restore)

  2 created "Repair disk", then it I created a bootable USB key, because some of my PC doesn't have a CD ROM

  3. start the machine from USB and select "Restore from system image". He acknowledged that the image is on D: but immediately restore failed with this message:

  "Cannot restore the system selected in this recovery environment image."

  Navigation on various forums, it seems that this message comes because of 32 bit and 64 bit OS repair disc.

  Where my 2 questions:

  1. maybe my question related to the fact that I'm not restoring external hard drive but another partition?

  2. in case I have a problem with 32 bit vs 64 bit... and how it could happened? I used Win 7 Enterprise to create this disc, but I don't know if it defaults to 32-bit or 64-bit or he even gave me the opportunity to choose amongst...

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

• 8 victory: The external hard drive with a system image back to usable for saving other files?

  Hello

  In the back of the System Image, I find that the system only allow to use external hard disc.

  May I know after I created the image of the system, should I completely stop the use for other purposes?

  If I save files inside, it causes the system recovery process in the future to failure?

  Thank you

  Yes, external hard drives can be used to make files backup and store. Backups are stored in separate locations and files user does not, unless the save area is changed manually.

• Problem with newest flash drive and restoring the system

  Greetings,

  SYSTEM - Windows XP SP3 with browser Firefox 5.0

  I run an anti-virus scan every day on my PC (Avast free 6.0.1023 with the updated definitions).

  Then I downloaded the latest version of the Flash player on your site at www.adobe.com/downloads/ last night but it was not installed.

  Ran a virus on the plug-in installation file and scan scan has reported that he was not able to scan multiple files because they were protected by password in archive - NEVER SAW THIS BEFORE.

  So I deleted the file from archive.

  This morning when I ran an antivirus scan everyday, he pointed out that several protected files in the last system restore point since the installation of Flash player file.

  So I tried to restore from Friday, the previous week, but the restore operation failed.

  Tried two days last month and the month before that; no notice of restore.

  Finally, I shut down the system, restore and rebooted the PC to erase all data in restore file.

  Then restarted system restore and ran the antivirus and all is well again.

  I used restoring the system previously on this computer without any problem.

  Also, I noticed the name of file to Setup plug-in is not the format of the normal name - install_flashplayer10_mssd_aih.exe

  instead of install_flashplayer.exe.

  
  I'm confused, why change a system that works?

  Thank you for your time and your help.

• Try to use the System Image to migrate from Windows 7 for SSD for boot upward

  Hello

  I have a new computer Windows 7 operting.   I'm trying to migrate my OS to SSD for faster boots, etc..

  I first tried various 3rd party applications such as EaseUS Partition Master and Reflect, all futile for unknown reasons.

  Now I'm having problems using the built-in tool "Create a System Image" Windows 7.

  The Image of the system seems to be created properly and is listed in the appropriate folder.   The next step is to use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to save the ISO file, then use this ISO on the DSS file.

  Unfortunately, despite all that I've read to the contrary, the file created by windows wasn't an ISO... it saved as a VHD file.   The download tool cannot copy VHD - only ISOs.

  Microsoft technical support suggested that I have post the question.   All the patches?

  Thanks in advance!

  What happens when you boot the system repair disc?  If necessary, you will need to enter your BIOS Setup utility and make your optical drive the first boot device.

  You have created the system image includes everything: the files of your operating system, your application to the program folder and your data.  Assuming that you have already used your system for awhile and so Windows, your installed programs and files total user more than 128 GB, the image does not fit on the SSD.

  If everything except your totals of less than 128 GB user files, then a possible scenario would be to backup all your files from user to some external medium data, confirm that the backup is valid, and then delete the files from the current hard drive.  Then make an image of system of what's left (which is now less than 128 GB) and restore that image on the SSD.  You create a new user profile and then copy your files from backup data on disk 1 to and link to your user profile in the user data (see tip below).

  Another alternative, especially if you have more than 128 GB used even without your data, is to do a clean Windows 7 on SSD install, reinstall all your application files, specifying as much as possible of the facilities is located on the 1 TB drive and your profile link to the data of the user on the 1 TB drive.

  This trick of sevenforums.com can help with the problem of having windows on the SSD and your data on the disk rotation:

  If you are simply wanting to save files HARD disk space in your user folders, you might consider this below in order to access the files in your library with the actually located files where you want to place. This way you won't have to worry about the potential problems that come with mobile user folder locations.

  • Create a new folder to any location you want.
  • Move all the files you want in the new folder.
  • Include the new folder in a library of your choice.
  • If you wish, you can also set the new folder to be default 'save' for the location for the library as well

  To do a clean install of Windows 7 on your SSD, follow the instructions here to get a file ISO of Windows 7 to the same version of Windows 7 that is preinstalled on your computer: https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/67-microsoft-windows-and-office-iso-download-tool burn the image on a DVD (Note: you can not just copy the files, use the built-in tool to burn dvd of Windows 7 or free third-party tool like ImgBurn).  Use the product key from the label on your computer (not the key retrieved by using a key finder program) to activate Windows.  See https://techingiteasy.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/how-to-activate-windows-7-oem-license-using-a-retail-disc/

  If this all sounds complicated - it is, and I haven't provided all the details - you can consider getting the help of a local independent computer repair shop (not a chain of stores).  Just make sure you get a real installation of Windows 7.

• HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: restore the system and drivers

  Hello. A few days ago I faced a bad experience with my laptop HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. System crashed. At any time, I tried to turn it on, an error message appears and the system was blocked. The message was: FILE: \BOOT\BCD status 0xc000000f, asking for the disc of Windows 7 system running. But the system disk did not run at all. I checked the situation and found the hard drive with 6 partitions instead of 2. I found a named partition BOOT (X which was a replica of C:.)  When I tried to restore the system with the recovery disc, something has obtained control of the recovery disc, so that C: might not be formatted; nor was X:. Also, I tried to cancel the file in X: but disc was protected and does not allow changes. If only I could get my uninstalled hard drive and all partitions have been cleaned. I got my hard drive cleaned perfectly, but my recovery disk can be installed correctly. So, the system has not yet restored. My question is: what should I do to get my laptop with the system restore? any ideas?
