• 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...

• Error: "the system restore is disabled by group policy" when he tried to use the system restore

  Original title: group policy

  When I try to use the system restore, I get "system restore is disabled by group policy. How can I fix this problem?

  Hi bluelilly,

  1. is your computer connected to a domain?
  2. don't you make changes before the show?

  This occurs if the Configuration policy to disable is enabled on your system, either by using Group Policy or through the registry editor. For stand-alone systems Windows Vista, follow these steps:
  Step 1: Using the Group Policy Editor. If your edition of Windows Vista includes the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) snap-in, follow these steps:
  a. Click Start, type gpedit.msc and press ENTER.
  b. go to the following branch: Computer Configuration | Administrative templates | System | System restore
  c. double click on disable the Configuration and set it to not configured.
  Note: If the above setting is already set to not configured, set it to "Enabled" and click on apply. Return back the setting to not configured, then click on apply, OK.
  d. Quit Group Policy Editor.
  e. restart the computer and check the difference.

  Step 2: Using the registry editor
  a. Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER
  b. navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-Software-policies-Microsoft-Windows NT------SystemRestore
  (c) in the right pane, delete the value named DisableConfig.
  d. Quit Registry Editor.
  e. restart the computer and check the difference.

  Very important: Modifying the registry incorrectly will cause serious damage to the computer. Back up the registry until you make changes.
  See Registry backup

  If your computer is connected to a domain, then we recommend that you post your query toTechnet Forums Windows Vista to improve the assistance.

• Hey guys, my computer was working fine, so I closed the night, the next morning, when I tried to boot the system, I never had to windows.

  I'm a main file where the screen is black and the writing is white.  I think it is that the original system set up that its demand.  There is a press F1 for set up and a few other options then a set list of questions to answer as the date, time, etc..  I can't get out of it, I did once and am back to the window and thought I'd do a system restore point and restored to a point of 2 weeks before this happened and everything worked well, until I have shut it down again.  Once again when I didn't restarted my computer I have no windows, only the main computer set up suggestions? My computer is not under warranty any longer that this is a hp pavilion a310mn

  kawidirtrider,
  The problem you are having is with the BIOS before Windows starts to load.  It seems that if the CMOS battery may be dead.  You will need to contact HP for help on this issue. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• 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?

• Unable to run the check disk due to having to restore the system

  When you start the system, it shows that disk needs the consistency check, but then it shows that the drive can be controlled due to the recent installation so system restore first. Although, when you try to restore the system, it is said there are disk errors that should check and may need repair in which it said restart your computer for this. When the computer is retsarted, it shows that the drive needs verification but still, says system needs to restore. So I can't run a check disk or restore the system. Help, please!

  Hi mustakimahmed,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question. Looks like you are not able to start from desktop due to errors in the disk check and not able to perform the system restore too.

  Try these methods and check:

  Method 1: Run the check disk in windows recovery (winre) mode. Follow these steps:

  (a) open command prompt.

  (b) use the following procedures:

  To repair errors, locate bad sectors and recover readable information, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume: / r, and then press ENTER.

  Note: If one or more files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message is displayed: cannot run Chkdsk because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

  Type Y, and then press ENTER to schedule the disk check, and then restart your computer to start the disk check.

  Note: If bad sectors are found in the hard drive, then it could try to fix this particular sector. If you have any data on that, it can get lost.

  Method 2:

  If method 1 fails, because you are not able to perform the disk, or restoring the system check, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the hard drive to get help. As the drive that you are using may be corrupted.

  Hope this information helps. If you have any other questions feel free to respond and we would be happy to help.

Hello 4 keep screwing browsers and now I get connection network problems. I run Comcast doctor and did everything it said to do, but nothing works. Oh and I added 7-Zip and WinZip also. Likewise, they will not work! Help! Thanks - K & K

  keimanzero,

  Comcast of Norton Security Suite version is installed? If Yes, who and perhaps malware is most likely to cause questions you have published, in particular the failure of the restoration of the system.
  First, configure the system to boot - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  NOTE: Start-up mode minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

  Download and Save the update system (or CheckSUR) tool. You will need to download the specific Version of CheckSUR corresponding to the architecture of the system to Windows 7. If you do not know the architecture of the system, and then click the link that says "Click here to show or hide the instructions step by step with images" under method 2: download the update directly system preparation tool from Microsoft Download Center .
  Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

  Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Now, run CheckSUR with the system connected to the internet because it will download the .cab for system files. Reboot once CheckSUR is complete.

  Secondly, I suggest that you run the File Checker system while in the same clean boot state.
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the field search programs and files .
  2. Right click on cmd.exe in the programs of list, and then choose 'run as administrator '.
     If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  3. At the command prompt, enter the following line exactly as written including the space between thec and the/and then press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problems facing the system have been resolved.

  If they are not, you will need to contact Norton support for the version of Norton Internet Security Comcast to get help, or just uninstall NIS, run the Norton removal tool (right click Norton_Removal_Tool.exe, choose "Run as Administrator"), reboot and then check to see if the problems are still occurring.

• TRYING TO DO THE SYSTEM RESTORE, BUT 'NO PARTITION FOUND

  I have a HP Pavilion laptop g6, which works on windows 8.  I tried to do a windows system restore because my computer is having a lot of problems lately and it is less than 1 year.  The fan runs constantly very loudly, computer is hot, there is a process running in the background and flash plugin is constantly crashing on mozilla/I.E. Problems got even worse when I upgraded from Windows 8.1 windows8.

  When I went to do the system restore windows through the hp support assistant, it gets stuck and when I tried to do it by putting power by pressing continuously on f11 to get the boot menu, it says that it cannot restore because no partition... Also, I can't do a complete HP reset because when I turn on my computer now since the upgrade to windows 8.1, it seems to ignore the point when I'm supposed to hit esc to the start menu and instantly goes to the start screen.

  I looked into this mess partition missing and tried to 'test drive' as suggested in this message, which seems to argue that a partition is missing and gives me know no way to add a.

  Help, please! all boards (and please keep in mind while I consider myself rather computer savvy, I'm no geek team so he dumb down a little) would be VERY USEFUL! My computer is too new for this shit.

  The document here may help to do a factory reset:
