Windows 7 backup dvd

have a Pavilion S5-1050Z with win 7 home 64 which had the HD of. (WD Blue 500 GB)

Bought new HD from Best BUY.  (Seagate 500 gb) - done with WD

New drive is recognized by the system. Orderly restoration of the HP discs, but they don't themselves aren't yet.

Had created a little backup discs back and forth and have 3 DVDs' on them .wim files.

I have not had an ERD, but created one from another machine of windows 7 (computer toshiba laptop) which loads and I get to the point to enter the last disc of the backup of the image, but it says:

' Insert the media from the device and click OK to select the driver.

I can't get the 3 disks to do anything.

Must I restaurer restore with drives from the factory, first of all, then try to restore with these three discs then?

I was hoping not to have to recharge every piece of software added to the system-

am I missing something?

Any ideas appreciated!

Ed518, welcome to the forum.

Yes, you will need to use the recovery discs before you add additional data.  The operating system is required.

  • Backup DVD of Windows 8

    I downloaded and installed Windows 8 without selecting the option to backup DVDs. Do I really need DVD backup when re - install or change the computer? I could do a backup later? Can I install my purchased Windows 8 on other computers. and how much? Thank you.

    How to reinstall Windows 8

    You have two options:

    If you want to reinstall Windows 8, which means remove applications and personal files and settings, you can use the reset and refresh. This is equivalent to a clean install.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    · Press the Windows key + i on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

    · Click settings

    · Click change PC settings

    · Click general in the left column

    · In virtue remove all and reinstall Windows, click Start

    Then follow instructions that will be provided on the screen to reinstall Windows on your PC.

    Option 2:

    If you create an installation DVD or a USB bootable, you can use them to reinstall Windows. First, you will need to reinstall license qualification, then begin the upgrade to Windows 8. License of qualification means that you will need to reinstall Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.

    Option 3:

    A workaround for this situation is to create a system image of Windows 8, just after you have upgraded. So if your drive plant, you can simply restore the image on a new hard drive or restore the image on the same drive, if you want to reinstall Windos 8.

    See the following for instructions on how to create an image of the installation process of Windows 8:

  • Windows 7 backup error "the system cannot find the file specified. (0 x 80070002) »

    * Note that I never could solve this problem. In the long run, I ended up reinstalling the operating system (for different reasons), but the issue remained pending. Thanks to those who have tried to help. (January 30, 2011)

    Suddenly, I seem to have a problem with Windows 7 backup. I get the message "the system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002) "at the point in the process when the backup is supposed to start. It has disabled my ability to make a backup, of course, except to the directly copy files to another hard drive. I was able to use the same USB drive in the past, so I don't know what happened.

    I thought it might be a corrupt profile causing the problem, but I still get the same message on the new profile. I thought that maybe it's the reader, but I get the same message when you try to use the DVD burner.

    I think my Windows software is up to date, and I looked in different places to find an answer without success. Any help you could give me would be appreciated. Thank you. I would be happy to provide you with any additional information you might need.

    Hi Cuzzlor,

    I finally solved the problem last week; I had the same error for 4 months.

    Although the error message when opened on the Notepad kept identifying a PDF 'missing' that I had deleted my office long and the computer.  I couldn't find the file back.

    I noticed that the library tends to scan and Add locations; He had made a place out of the folder, because it was a file created with a scanner.

    I've removed the 'empty' location, I don't know how I didn't notice, she draws from images and my backups are free from error.

    I hope this helps.

  • 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.

    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:.

    Hello

    To be honest, your ad is a little hard to understand and I don t know what you mean exactly.

    The built-in backup tool of XP can save all the directories you want if you choose advanced options. But this tool isn't so comfortable; You can access the data on a running system. More comfortable are Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image in my opinion.

    You can upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. That's why you need to do a clean install and therefore you don't need a backup.
    Just copy your important files like photos, music, etc. on an external HARD drive. All that s! After installing Windows 7, you can copy on the laptop.

  • Windows Server backup - Reporting failure, but creates a backup file

    Currently have a Server 2008 R2 running. Also runs Hyper-V with 3 than VMS. VM can be found on the D drive, so I have given up trying to save with C, since it was time.

    I don't have a setup of daily - just VSS full backup disk Local (c), no bare metal recovery or backup the system state. It's backup on a network drive shared on a different server.

    Daily backup status comes back as having failed. However when I go to the destination that the backup must be going, I see a 280 GB VHD file, which is the size expected to see.

    The error reported in the Windows Server backup is "one of the backup files could not be created. "Error: the parameter is incorrect".

    WSB is horrible to provide crash reports useful on what is the real problem.

    Anyone have any idea why it's create a large file of backup, but reported as having failed with this error?

  • previous versions of files available for recovery "windows server backup.

    I use "windows server backup" to back up my Windows Server 2008R2 and R2 for Windows Server 2012 boxes.

    Using the graphical user interface of 'windows split backup', I can:

    o search the various backups on disk

    o down through the tree of a given instance of a backup to disk

    o select a single file to retrieve

    I want to watch all instances of a file that do not exist to recover.  This feature is available in 'windows explorer' by the 'previous versions' tab.  How can I get this same 'previous versions' ability via the 'windows server backup"collect mistletoe?

    Are there other utilities (other that the 'windows server backup"recover gui) that allow me to browse the catalog of backup?

  • Windows Server backup failed

    Hello

    We have a problem with our Windows Server backup on our main server. It fails every night and you see disks (5 discs for each day from Monday to Friday) to be offline, even if we can access the data and restore files/folders. We tested another software to backup with one of our readers, and he was properly executed. The event log shows error event ID 561 and 546 "...". the backup failed as no target could be found... "Any ideas what is the cause? As I have said that we ran successfully backup by using one of the players and another software so I don't think it's a hardware problem.

  • Aspire x 3950 - after windows 10 upgrade dvd/cd drivers missing

    After upgrade windows 10 cd/dvd drivers disappeared. Microsoft technicians have worked on this for 4 days could not find the problem. Can't argue with acer because the product is not under warranty. Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately, I don't have a recommendation on how to solve this problem, other than to go back to the previous installation of Windows. You can try to ensure that all Windows updates are installed. If that doesn't fix it, my best suggestion is to roll back. Given that this system was not qualified to upgrade the windows 10, we offer 10 Windows drivers for this product.

    Maybe someone else will have a suggestion on how to make it work you can try.
