  Backup recovery discs or Windows Vista discs are supplied by the manufacturer of the system containing a backup of the original factory condition or a favorable condition of a computer as that set up by the manufacturer of the system. This media is usually comes with most computers to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system. If you use the Vista backup drive, it will delete everything on the system. You should back up important data before making any major changes on the system.

  If you receive a prompt to install the Vista SP1, then you must download and install the same. It will not be provided with the Windows Vista backup drive.

• What is a good external backup drive that won't empty my wallet

  I need to get an external backup drive for my PC, but do not know how to do in this regard. I've seen most are very Exspensive. Someone told me to get Seagate? Is - this right or which is a good thing?

  ... Someone told me to get Seagate?

  Seagate is trustworthy and has been for a long time. I also like WD (Western Digital).

  ... I've seen most are very Exspensive...

  The 'expensive' is subjective. The external drives that I've seen recently are <70 bucks="" per=""> terabyte. You can pay more for the bells and whistles of an external box which was dazzled, and you might get a player with a better fault tolerance.
  To say that males 70 from the perspective of my point of view, thirty years ago I paid $ 1,800 for a 160MB HARD internal disk.

• My Clickfree automatic backup drive has stopped working, with my iMac, what is the best replacement to use with Time machine

  My Clickfree automatic backup drive I had for many years stopped working with my iMac, what is the best replacement to use with Time Machine.

  I can't even reformat the drive to try to start over, then think its time I invested in a high today but don't know where start looking so any advise would be a great help.

  Thank you guys

  A lot of users on these forums recommend OWC (www.macsales.com) Mercury Elite Pro series JEP due to their durability, affordability and quality of construction. I have about 6 of them connected to my iMac and have never had a speaker to fail. When a hard drive fails, substitute is a 5-minute process to re - use the box. To help you get started, you can find the line to: https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB

  You can find them in various ways and with a variety of configurations of connection so you can find the one that best fits your needs.

• The discs to a hard drive with an IO error can be removed and placed in a good hard drive to try to recover the information about the bad drive?

  No, at least not by us.

  Open a hard drive for some reason any at all can be done in special
  laboratory as parameters. Something else will destroy the disk.

  There are companies trying to recover data from broken disks,
  and they are sometimes successful. And who knows, maybe they
  sometimes use methods such as what you describe.

  But if you plan to use such a company, know what they
  are all very expensive. It does not for most people.

  For the future, if you have files you want to be sure are not
  lost, make sure to have in place a backup procedure on a regular basis the

• notification complete backup drive

  I started a less drive for backups and after 1 full backup has reported it, it was full.  I have two external drives and when one gets full happened Thursday, erased the old backup drive and made a full backup on this subject and that is the information I did something wrong to get the message that the disk was full?

• sleep of the iMac, don't eject backup drive does not correctly

  I get a message that my backup drive is not ejected properly, what concerns me greatly. I get this message when my iMac wakes up after sleeping, and the player has not been removed or disconnected or anything. It's an old USB 2.0 Seagate GoFlex drive.  Is there little sleep setting, such as turning off hard drives, the cause? Or is it just time to move my old faithful to a 3.0 version backup disk?

  I would like to launch disk utility > first aid on the disc to make sure she's ok. How old is the drive and how it is formatted?

• Backup failed with error 18: the backup drive is not found

  Hello

  My guard time capsule saying "Backup failed" for a few days and I cannot access the old backup files either (when I enter my time machine it shows 'today', which is kind of scary, although I know that my old files is still there). I tried many ways to trouble shoot this problem, but none of this has worked. In my opinion, it's more a network problem and I made sure I connect Wi - Fi even my time capsule created.

  So far I have tried:

  -Delete the files from my internet (com.apple.airport.preferences.plist; preferences.plist and NetworkInterfaces.plist, etc.) and restart my mac

  -Remove TimeMachine.plist and restart my mac

  -Hard reset of my time capsule. Went through all configurations with success but then still backup missed (I hear the running time capsule when it is by train).

  I share this time capsule with my wife and she has no problem with that.

  I can only think of a possible alternation I did which could cause this problem.

  Because of unstable WiFi problem, I had deleted

  com Apple.Airport.Preferences.plist

  com.Apple.Network.identification.plist

  NetworkInterfaces.plist

  Preferences.plist

  or other files and reboot my mac * before * I had this problem with time capsule.

  However, this is not the first time I do it, and it wasn't a problem before...

  This could be the reason? If so, how to restore the network settings?

  Please help me with this problem. Really appreciate!

  Ted

  What model is the TC?

  Try to force the connection to 2.4 ghz using different names for the various bands... or even better to use ethernet.

  (You may need to buy love at first sight for adapter Ethernet... is an investment worth considering how unreliable wireless).

  Also give me some screenshots of the TC installing airport utility.

  Can you get it in the Finder?

• Backup drives

  Where can I get a backup drive?

  Go to any good-sized computer store and buy a regular HDD or flash with enough space. If it is not specifically intended for the Mac, once you plug, choose Utilities in the Finder Go menu, open disk utility and reformat the drive as Mac OS extended (journaled). Time Machine will reformat the disk itself if it must.

• What capacity of the HARD drive in 1670CDS

  New, I HAV Satellite 1670CDS with Phoenix BIOS ver. A 1.07.
  My drive HARD broked down. I have to buy a new one. What capacity of the HARD drive will be detected BIOS corectly? How many GB of hard drive I can buy?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  This kind of information can give you just authorized partner. I found the info your device comes with 6 GB of HARD drive. Am I wrong?

  I'm sure you can use 10 or even 12 GB of HARD drive without any problem. If you want to use more than capacity, it is possible that it will not be recognized by the BIOS.

  I found an offereor which has guaranteed that even at 30 or 40 GB hard drives can be used on older models, but the BIOS should be handled with the special tool and is not for free.

  Good bye

• Time Capsule: No available backup drive

  I read a bunch of wires and nothing has worked.

  I have a MB Pro El Capitan 10.11.1, 2011 old version 2 TB TC running. I just moved and now have Fios new router/modem. Formerly Comcast.

  I plugged TC AC and ethernet to Fios. Got the green light. Open Airport utility. Clicked on change. Network (came into bridge mode). reset and renamed TC (as in troubleshooting, someone said to be renamed TC with new installation).

  I tried to make a Time Machine backup and get the message "backup drive is not available. I restarted. Nothing seems to work.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you very much

  We do not know this as you've read, or have tried, but if you have not already changed the settings in Time Machine preferences to indicate your Mac how to locate your Time Capsule on your 'new' network... now would be a good time to do that.

  Reason... If you have not done this... your Mac is still to try to locate the time Capsule using the path on your 'old' network... and your Time Capsule is now on another network 'new '. The Mac will never find that she can come back until he knows how to locate the Capsule of time on your network.

  Did you do that?  After the back if you are not sure.

• Could not find the Time Capsule for Time Machine backup drive

  My iMac is running El Capitan and Time Machine is unable to find the Time Capsule backup drive.  I blew the backup several times in hopes that it will fix the problem.   The only thing I found which will allow a return to the top is to unplug the Time Capsule and plug it in again.  The work around works only once, then it's back to "can't find the backup disk.

  For anyone a cela or similar questions are you go in your Utilities folder (in your applications folder) and run the utility airport to see what he says about the disks attached. This cannot work for the readers of time capsule Apple rather than third party readers who have been designated as the backup time drives machine.

• Backup drive is not detected by USB-3 ports before the computer

  * Original title: 3 USB ports do not recognize the 3 TB drive; USB-2 ports do.

  3 USB ports do not recognize the 3 TB drive; USB-2 ports do.

  After working for about 1 year, my Seagate 3 TB backup drive is no longer recognized by the operating system.

  The drive is connected to a USB port "SS" (i.e. USB3) port on the front of the computer.

  During the boot UEFI confirms the existence of the impulse, but Win 7 (64) does not work.

  When it is attached to a USB-2 port the drive works perfectly, but takes forever to my backup system.

  I went through the procedure to connect to other ports 'SS', but the OS will still not

  recognize the drive.

  I would appreciate any advice.

• I have several folders on my backup drive, and I'm running out of space. Can I delete everything on my backup disk and start over?

  On my backup drive, Isee 'Doug' and 'DougXPS8300' folders and they both contain a large number of files, in addition to "backup of drive c." is redundant?  I ask because I get a messge saying that the backup with 2 TB drive memory does not have enough room for a backup.  Can I just remove ALL on my backup drive, and then tell Windows to start the backup until now, that is by replacing all loaded out there?

  If you get one of the programs that I know well, I see no reason to not just to format this drive of 2 TB and start again.  I know that you will have no problems with Ghost, and I have no reason to believe that you would not have no problem with Easus or Memeo either.

  Good luck.
