Windows 7 backup and restore shows no internal hard disk and the backup location option

Windows 7 backup and restore is only the possibility to go back to D drive which is a burner DVD C and F is both internal and external hard drives C is the system drive and F is a newly formatted 1 TB drive free. I access F in Explorer windows without any problems and I would use it for backup.

Hi dairy Tech 2000,

Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.

Drive/C: would not be shown to the backup files since this is the system drive. You cannot save files to C:/drive to C:/drive.

However, when you change the backup settings to another drive on the computer, follow the steps below:
1. click on start.
2. backup and restore type of search.
3. click on change settings.
4. This will show the drives internal i.e. your F: drive / on the computer.
Now you can set the location of drive F:.

  • All of my Windows Mail subfolders and the emails contained in disappeared mysteriously.

    original title: Windows Mail lost all subfolders

    All of my Windows Mail subfolders and the emails contained in disappeared mysteriously.  I closed Windows Mail with all folders and opening Windows Mail again the next day, only the default folders (Inbox, sent, etc.) were present.

    I created a new folder named "Test" that I can see has been saved in "C:\Users\San\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local Folders" as well as other folders by default, but I can find no trace of my 20 folders + that I had previously.

    Help!

    Nobody knows what could have happened and if they might be elsewhere on the HARD drive?  I have run several searches looking for folder names, but so far have developed in white.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Since download IE9 has changed the font on my message preview, on Windows Mail panel, and the symbol of the attachment is not there. How can I change this back?

    Since download IE9 has changed the font on my message preview, on Windows Mail panel, and the symbol of the attachment is not there.  How can I change this back?

    Just go in the Panel. Programs and features and then click on the left of "view installed updates" and find Windows Internet Explorer 9, and then you can uninstall it.  You should know that it is installed automatically via Windows Update, so you'll need to keep it to be reinstalled.  I think you can go Windows Update manually, and then it will ask you, then you can't deny it there and it should stick.

  • internal hard drives within the switching apparatus

    Switching of the internal hard drives in the machine. I have two internal hard drives, C and E of clarification and I replaced my C Seagate 360 with a TB Western Digital because of this hard disk failure false I bought, which I'm sure were a corporate scam to buy more stuff that is really unnecessary. My question is "how to pass these. My HP Pavilion Elite m9150f going in stupid mode on 3 to 5 times a year and I have to do a recovery and I found that doing the hard, it is happening in stupid mode in a very short time. I found is from the CD that it takes a little more, but the best way is to erase completely and reformat the hard drive and then do a clean install, so he prevents her from stupid mode for awhile, this one lasted 4 months but like you have probably understood it's time to do it again. However, as you know it takes 3 times as long to reformat TB as it does a 360 GB drive, so it's the root of my question. I have all my stuff on the E-Drive SG360 for backup, note here backup on this PC has never worked so I don't bother with the so-called machines back to top I just copy stuff I want to record on the E drive and make the ol' copy ' and paste to restore everything. Now because of the time it takes to reformat drive C TB I want to make the switch. Is it as simple as just their switching and pulling the PC with the recovery discs factory to perform RECOVERY and do my usual copy and paste of the Western Digital to now, E-Drive?

    Please someone with the know let me know

    Thank you very much, RickS

    Aparently, you can not RESPOND to your own message.

    No one answered so I went ahead and did it. Lost all learned but a lot on the partitioning of hard disks and all together, in addition to becoming the hard drive back to R & R until less than 6 minutes time to unplug the PC at the rear, turn 05:53, my best so far. but she is back to being usable was a day and a half.

    The answer to the question is when you put that there is nothing usable at all because the PC looking for the OS and boot any disk has. I had to start player, I chose so that I could erase and reformat the C drive and run the installation of the OS. Once he was done with that I had to choose again which drive start so I could erase and reformat the drive E then he would leave goes to the starting window when I turned it on.

    Simple answer is not a. Read above.

  • Inspiron 5748, Crucial M500 - "internal hard disk not found".

    My Inspiron 5748 comes with w8.1 pre-loaded onto a standard 500 GB hard drive, but I wanted to move to an SSD. I have two M500s Crucial (the two 2.5 "); one with W7 loaded from another laptop, the other barely taken out of the box.

    With one of them installed, the message at startup after the dell symbol arrives is "internal hard disk not found", and while there is no bootable media found.

    In both cases, UEFI and back diagnonstics reporting tools that there is indeed a crucial m500 present and functional. Both work well in my other laptops (purchased separately).

    Is there a problem of formatting? There is no update available for this SSD firmware.

    Thank you!

    Hi Wazzbot,

    Use the recovery discs Windows 8.1 you prepared using the Dell printer utility to backup and restore Windows loading on the SSD drive. Because the disks are the same size, it should work without problem.

    1. what type of backup is? What application did you use to create this backup?
    2. What is the extension of this backup file? Is this backup a single file?
    2 have you tried to copy the files and images directly on the hard drive?
     
    If these files are simply saved in the hard disk, you can simply copy and paste the files on the disk. If it's a backup file provide the information identified above to help you further.
