Vista 64 Ultimate Backup complete picture, a larger capacity drive restoration?

Hi all, I want to know if the image of vista ultimate full backup can be used if the disk you save up to is greater than the image was taken from?

Basically, I have two hard drives, a main 400gig drive and a 150gig raptor drive, they are all two old and I think that the raptor will fail, I took a full system backup of these two discs, and when they are not lacking, I'll replace the system with a much larger disk and the game with a much larger disc only problem is, I can use the same image to be restored on the new drives?

Hi Monketty

You can use the Image of full backup PC to a larger size hard disk. This should not be a problem. After developing the hard drive you will need a bigger external drive to store the backup if your data exceeds 750 GB.

All the best!

Thank you and best regards,

  • Tecra S3 - impossible to duplicate the HARD disk of larger HARD drive

    I have a new Toshiba Tecra S3, I bought one a few years ago with a 100gig hdd.
    I'm running out of room and wanted to move to a larger capacity drive.

    I bought a WD 400 GB sata 5400 RPM and the Appricon Easygig 2 cloning software and the USB universal drive adapter.
    My first attempt I used the default settings and cloning went without problem, but the player does not start. I get the blue screen with an error message.

    I tried cloning with accurate corresponding partitions, same result.
    I tried to use the digital software West, the same results.
    I tried the Acronis software with all the different options, the same results.

    Given that my laptop came with the hidden recovery partition I don't have the original Windows XP pro disk, so I borrow one from a friend and tried to use the recovery of windows on the new drive I just cloned and could not find the hard drive at all.

    I suspect it has something to do with the RAID drivers, but I don't what to do at this point if it is.
    I don't want to start from scratch, I want just all what I have on my 100 GB to my 400GB clone.

    Interestingly, I have used the Appricon method on other SATA improvements on other laptops completely successful, but this Toshiba has me out of resources.

    Does anyone out there have a solution to my problem?

    Hello!

    Garret is right to integrate the RAID driver software Acronis.

    Therefore, you should use BartPE (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/).
    Install Bart PE and then copy the drivers RAID PE builder folder PE Builder\drivers\SCSIAdapter
    Create a folder for the drivers, and copy the drivers inside.
    In addition, you need the plug-in for Acronis True Image but I do not know Mr. you should find it on the site Web of PE Builder.

    Then, you can burn a bootable Windows CD. On this CD is also Acronis software and then you can clone it.

    Good bye

  • Window Vista Ultimate 2007 backup files empty on the external drive.

    The computer is a desktop HP running Windows Vista Ultimate 2007, 32 Bit OS, RAM 400 GB and Intel Quad CPU 2 .4GHz.

    I ran Windows Vista backup for a full backup and a backup of the file.  When I look at the external disk to verify the backup files are empty.  There are two created on the external hard drive, but both files are empty.  The program indicates that the backup routine successfully on the external drive. I have not received any error message.

    I use a Toshiba external drive with 500 + GB.  I have a lot of room.  I tried twice.  The first time I reformatted the external drive using Windows and revived the full backup only.  Once again the image file on the external drive shows 0 bytes, 0 files.

    I wonder why the backup files are not getting moved on the external drive.

    Hi BEM Consult,.

    1. are you allowing Windows to choose recommended backup or you choose "Let me pick" option on the backup configuration window?

    We recommend that you connect the external hard drive on another computer and check if the size of the backup file is in the list.

    Check if you have selected all the items in the backup settings to create a backup file. Try to create a new backup file by selecting all items on the Backup Wizard and check the result.

  • Home installation of XP on Vista 64 Ultimate VPC, activation issues

    I have the motherboard Intel & CPU (Intel Core 2 Quad CPU) running Vista Ultimate 64, I installed from the CD.  Previously used some XP software (Lotus 123 and Word Pro and Word Perfect & Quatro Pro) not to operate smoothly in the installer with Vista, or Vista is best MS OS I have used to date.  I studied MS Virtual PC 2007, installed on the desktop and it works well.  I installed XP Home and the incriminated on virtual PC and all software works better than ever and I don't have to convert one hundred archived files I need little frequent access to because they have been created there with these programs from 10 to 15 years because the PC is "networked" to the Vista machine to transfer files but is not exposed to security issues by avoiding the internet connection.

    There's a rub.  XP Home comes from a CD that I provided by Dell with a PC, I have purchased from them in 2000 ~  It was shipped on a CD of the operating system with the computer and twice, 2003 & 2006, I had to erase completely the C drive and pure install the operating system.  Both times I've been required to product key entry and when installing a semi automated of registration took place via internet.  When I used this same CD to install XP on Virtual PC, never asked me the product key.  At the end of installation, I was directed to activate the product, either via the Internet, phone or delay, but after 30 days, software (XP) would not work.  Because I choose not to have V PC connected to the web, I chose the method of telephone connection and followed.  At the end of the process a direct tech said that it was not a valid copy of XP.

    I have not used XP provided by Dell, as I booted Vista box, then how the hell is the software I've bought from them no not a valid copy.  What viable alternatives can I, if, before the purchase of another Internet licensed XP software?

    Hello

  • Backup complete pc cannot find the image after factory reset

    Don't know what forum this is because it is not quite fit any category.  Happy to have redirected it.

    Had some problems with my laptop, so I created a full backup in Vista Business pc.  Then I reset the phone to factory settings and tried to reinstall the saved image.  The Vista is OEM installed, so used F8.  The system can't find the image even if I select D drive and view the file.

    Thinking it's perhaps something to do with connections etc. that I had put in place a new instance, I created a new complete pc backup and it does not find this to be.

    I bought Acronis and copied the original image (which was also recorded on an external drive) then tried to reinstall on drive C.  He failed.

    Don't know what to do next.  Everything seems to be on the disks.  I read something about the load drivers.  Also something about the use of a virtual server.

    Don't know where to go from here.  It's been nearly three days.

    Nine Hills,

    Where you store your backup Image? On your D drive?

    You have access to a retail Vista installation disc? If Yes, you can run the System Recovery Options that allow you to do a complete PC Restore to outside the Vista desktop environment.

    If not, try the following steps:

    1. Click on Start-> in the field type to start searching the backup status and Configuration, click on enter.
    2. Click on restore files on the left, click Advanced Restore. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    3. Choose the files from a backup made on a different computer.
    4. Select the location of the backup you want to restore. (Can you locate your Image of restoration here?)
    5. Click Next, and follow the wizard to complete your restoration.

    This resolves who you know?

  • (the backup completed, but some files were skipped--(0 x 80070003)) & (0 x 80070002))-Please help!

    Hey everybody...

    I tried for two days back my 64 bit Windows 7 system.  Whenever I do, I get the following messages saying the "backup completed, but some files were skipped.  (I get two error codes (0 x 80070003)) & (0 x 80070002))

    This is the description that is displayed in Notepad after the backup is performed:

    Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\iJamez\Pics & Vids\Internal storage. Error: (System does not find the specified path. (0 x 80070003))

    Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\iJamez\Pics & Vids. Error: (System does not find the specified path. (0 x 80070003))

    Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the C:\Users\James\Desktop\Contacts file. Error: (the system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002))

    the iJamez folder is located under the folder James which is on my desk at the top of the page, that I him have also stored in my external hard drive... the order goes like this:

    PC: C:\James/iJamez/Pics & Vids

    Outer: D:\iJamez/Pics & Vids

    + Pictures and videos is I have sync it with my iPhone.

    The last line of the error is in what regards the Contacts... I installed Outlook Express and I noticed that the Contacts folder has been installed on my desktop and I deleted because I don't need.

    Is someone can you please help me understand this... It makes me crazy!

    Thanks in advance to all!

    James
    E-mail address is removed from the privacy * (please email if you directly want to advise me on how to fix this isssue)

    I SOLVED THE PROBLEM...

    What I had to do, is create a folder named "iJamez" inside:

    C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile

    Once I created the folder iJamez inside (see above) I then created another folder inside iJamez called Pics & Vids. Once all of these files, I did my backup worked fine. He didn't ignore any files at all.

    But of course, my only question is, why the hell did I have to create these folders in the first place? Why in the world the Vids & photos that I sync with my iPhone would have something to do with a full backup?

    I do not understand why, I am just happy it worked.

    Can anyone shed some light on why this took place?

    Thank you.

    Please help to get rid of this annoying error.

    Hello
     
     
    This problem occurs if Windows backup ignores certain files when Windows Backup cannot find them. When you perform the backup there backup Documents, photos, music and videos through user libraries. So if Windows detects any changes in the path of the folder then the libraries do not recognize their unless you access the corresponding library via Windows Explorer.

    Please, try the steps in the Microsoft KB article and check if it helps.
