• Vista backup does not - restore error 0x8100001A

  My hard drive has been replaced, and I've tried using restore files via Vista backup and restore (Home Premium).  I followed the Advanced Restore from another PC, can see the backups, there are several dates of backup choice, but I get 0x8100001A error when restoring.

  The last backup was interrupted when the drive crashed.  I'm trying to restore the one before this one.  The backup drive letter has not changed.
  I have a new HARD drive, installed vista, caught all the Windows updates, installed all the programs and I'm trying to recover the backed up files.  None of the online help suggestions have worked.  Looks like the next suggestion is to recreate a corrupt Mediaid.bin file, which could have damaged when the last backup was interrupted.  How do I do that?  It is possible to rebuild is based on a previous backup?

  Hi louithibo,

  I understand that you refer to the following article:

• Windows Vista had to be restored on my computer. I lost my e-mail folders that I had saved. Is there anyway to restore these files?

  E-mail

  MY Windows Vista had to be restored on my computer.  I lost my e-mail folders that I had saved.  Is there anyway to restore these files?

  Messages are stored as eml files.  Is there no eml files, then there is no message.  Check in the windows.old directory if there is one, because it may contain old data.  The location of the message in Vista store is c:\users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows mail, so you might check there.

• Vista for XP Professional for?

  I have an old laptop that apparently came with Vista (sticker on the machine), but now runs XP Professional 2002.  My buddies work is their progressive elimination and gave them to employees, but without the disks. What are my options without spending too much money on the conversion because it is old. I can't restore factory (probably because that XP isn't what it came with) and they have probably wiped any Vista when they put on XP. Can anyone help? This dinosaur is working well for her age and I want to just erase and start over.

  Thank you.

  Now you know why they were giving them away!

  POUVEZ be able to format the hard disk and then perform a clean installation of Windows 10 - but that would require buying a full retail version of Windows 10 ($199.00 USD).

  Personally, I would take the dinosauer electronics nearest Center recycling ASAP.

• How downgrade Vista to XP Professional professional?

  I have a HP that was purchased with Vista Business downgraded to XP Professional.  It crashed after about a year and would not restart correctly.  A local technology recovered data and then tried to reinstall the system with the original disks.  He said he could only install Vista Business.  I tried Vista briefly and do not want to use it, but want to go back to XP

  I have the DVD 3 - restoration of HP;  Vista Business SP1.  Pack multiple language for use with Vista 32 bit.  I also have a CD with XP SP2.

  For any other problem, contact HP:

  http://welcome.HP.com/country/us/en/contact_us.html

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then restart with the XP disk in the drive.

  Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

  http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sg_clean.asp

  Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

  Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

• Satellite A205 - Vista backup center and restoration with a WiFi hard drive

  I use Vista Ultimate Center of backup and restore to back up hard drive of my laptop Satellite A205 series on a wireless external hard drive. The external hard drive (which is formatted in NTFS) is directly attached (via USB) to my wireless router Belkin low, instead of being connected directly on my laptop.

  I know that this WiFi network hard drive is recognized by my laptop series Satellite A205, because it appears as "Drive Z:" when I click on 'My Computer'... but the version of "Backup and Restore Center" which appeared on my laptop Satellite A205 only allows backup of DVD or directly - connected hard drive not the readers of (strange for a laptop with built-in WiFi) network.

  By contrast, the version of the backup center and restaurant located on my computer to my lists one office (also Vista), drives on the computer at first - but it includes a "more:"hyperlink by which someone with rights Admin can click and access the network drives. "

  This "more:"hyperlink does not appear on the version of the backup center and restore on my laptop Toshiba Satellite 205. "

  I can't even someone at Microsoft to talk to me without first
  $ 69.95 for the 'privilege '.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi irsharp23,

  > but the version of "Backup and Restore Center" which appeared on my Satellite A205 laptop only allows backup of DVD or directly - connected hard drive not the readers of (strange for a laptop with WiFi built-in) network.
  Laughing out loud
  I think that's not a junk Toshiba. Center backup and restore is designed by Microsoft and Toshiba has nothing to do with it. So I think you need to get in touch with the guys at Microsoft to ask for a solution, or there may be an update for this tool.
  Did you check that?

  Moreover, why n t connect the external DRIVE directly to your laptop drive? I don't see a reason to connect such a disc HARD backup over the network, because this image of backup can be used only on your laptop.

  Alternative, I can recommend Acronis True Image to record images of backup on the network or if you use Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize your files between laptops and network. ;)

• Vista - complete PC - cannot restore without a good Vista DVD backup

  I did a complete PC Backup using the tools system of Windows Vista on an external USB drive.

  When I tried to restore from it as I did the following:

  1. plugged in USB drive
  2 startup PC, press F8 until I got the recovery menu
  3. choose the option to restore complete PC
  4. we find the USB key and asked me to confirm that it was the backup I wanted to restore
  5. but then he stopped, saying that she had need to format the drive that the system recovery performed from and I need to boot from a different disk.

  6. the Toshiba restore disk is useless for this because it allows you only to return to the factory settings.

  7. to solve this problem, I had to find a copy of a Vista bootable CD. None is supplied with my laptop Toshiba A10 - d16. I found an ISO to neosmart image and allowed me to create a bootable CD. Then, I used this to boot from and was then able to restore from the backup.

  Is this correct? Is - this Toshiba not question a CD that can be used to restore from the utility Windows Vista complete PC Backup?

  If that is correct, what a nonsense this is. How can you count on Microsoft to provide a complete PC backup solution if they haven't thought through how to use it for real!

  > How can you count on Microsoft to provide a solution for complete PC backup if they thought about how t n use it for real!
  That of the point. This tool is developed by Microsoft and it would be interesting to know what they have to say about it.

  Idea with an external USB device is OK and I wonder why it will not work properly.

• Restore files, backup created using Vista, you try to restore using XP

  I've known a failuren hard drive on my laptop running Vista Ultimate.  I have a backup on an external hard drive.

  I'm still hoping that I can recover data from faulty hard disk, but it doesn't look promising.

  In the meantime, I'm trying to restore the backup files using my previous laptop, which is running XP.  When I try to select the files to restore by using the backup/restore application, it can't find all the appropriate files.  He seems to want a file with an extension "BKF", but I can't find the external hard disk.

  Any suggestions?

• Download Windows Vista 64-bit to restore from overview of Windows 8?

  I can support Windows vista 64 to restore from overview of windows 8

  Hello.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  Do you know until try you it if the recovery Partition is available or not.

  It depends on how you installed Windows 8 and how your computer manufacturer has the set up recovery Partition.

  He destroyed it with a manufacturer that I know.

  Installation of Windows 8 could destroy this option of relocation:

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
