  Hi Erieite,

  1. which edition of Windows Vista you are using?

  2. What do you mean by saying Vista family?

  3. what happens when you try to download Sp1? You receive messages or error codes?

  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.

  I suggest that you perform the following steps to solve the problem of installation of SP1.

• How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate? I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2),

  How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate?  I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive.  To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.

  How can I accomplish this? The program does not seem to give me the ability to specify a file to which to write the backup during a given session files.  In addition, I do not understand why I can not see the file name in Windows Explorer - my files options are defined to be able to view hidden and system.  Would be grateful for any help you can provide, tonight if possible.   Best regards, Oliver for Norm

• Cannot get permission to access some files restored from a windows vista backup

  Hello. I just installed windows 7 on a new hard drive. I bought the upgrade to windows 7 Home premium and I had to install vista on the new hard drive first then windows 7.

  I have all my files backed up on an external hard drive and I used windows vista backup and restore to do.

  I have now restored my files on my new hard drive using windows 7 backup and restore.

  I see all my files and folders, but the thumbnails are missing and when I try to actually open a file, a message informs you that I don't have permission to access.

  I tried to click with the right button on the files and changing the security, property, sharing and options, all to nothing does not.

  I tried a few ways to restore my files too, but nothing works.

  If I save a newly downloaded or created file (for example, a photo that I found on the internet) in the same folders, there is no problem and I can access, so the problem isn't that I don't have access to the records.

  Another weird thing is that I can access some of the restored files, but no more than them. I can't think what it is on those I can access that should make them different from those that I can't.

  So far it does not my simple PC! Can anyone help please?

  I should add that I am the ONLY user of this computer, and it is not on a network. Previously, it was the same when I am running windows vista. This is why I'm the only person who should be able to access the files.

  Same problem here after restoring a file backup of Windows Vista to a new installation of Windows 7. This solution worked for me: go to the command prompt, change the drive or a directory, you have problems with and type this:

  ICACLS * / reset/t

  Edit: You need to start the command prompt as an administrator to do. Find it in the start menu, then right click and choose 'run as administrator '. Then use the command as shown above.

  HI I have a computer with windows vista business on that key. Apparently, I do not have the original OEM drive but I have a dell windows vista Enterprise drive. the product to activate my acer desktop computer?

  Hello

  A manufacturer of recovery disc is designed for a particular brand and computer model; they are not interchangeable.

  Here is the link to order the Acer recovery disks:

  http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

  And if the Acer never included a drive to purchase, you should have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista to how it was when new.

  With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of recovery back to new condition.

  See you soon.

• Windows Vista backup on the external drive stopped working

  I have a LaCie 750 GB hard drive external (total size 698 GB) who I've been saving my drive C and D to a Dell XPS 410 using Vista Home Premium software.  He contended until the end with a backup automated on-demand for once a week.  He performed the backup 30 times since 11/09/09, but sometimes did so sometimes (shorter range) other than the weekly on-demand.  When I compare the total size with the free space on the external drive and my drives C and D, the amount of used space is respectively 131 GB, 5,11 GB and GB 665,5.  I am not very computer savvy, but if the backup program backs up only what of new each time, why used on my external drive space is so superior to what is still on my C and D drive?  I assumed that the backup software would just copy the previous backup, each time that a new backup or write on the oldest backup, but apparently is not.  So now all I get are messages saying that the backup was not successful because a file was in use or something to that effect.  I'm doing something wrong or do I have to reformat the hard drive external when it is "full" to start the backup of my computer again?

  Hello
   
  Your assumption is correct. Cross check if a new backup is created and saved in the external hard drive. If a new backup is not too write the old backup, the use of the space will be very high.
   
  Two particularly useful automatic backup features are the ability to do a scheduled backup and the ability to save your files.
  We recommend that you cross check if backup settings are intact. To do this, try the following steps.
  1. open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking the backup and restore.
  2. click on change settings.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  You get the error message, unplug the external drive and restart the computer. Connect the hard drive and check if you get the error message.
   
  I hope this helps.

• Windows Vista backup

  When trying to perform a new backup of windows vista, it is partially completed, and then I get a "Backup Unsuceesful" and an error message 0 x 80070005 I ran several backups before that without any problem. Any suggestions as to how to fix it?

  Hello

  (a) you are exactly how trying to backup?

  (b) do you use the computer as an administrator?

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  Step 1: Disable the security software and check.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  If the problem persists,

  Step 2: Try to run a check disk for errors by following the method from the link below:

  Important: When running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area so all available data on this risk to be lost

  Thanks in advance for your prompt response.

  David Baumgardner

  You are unable to make the back because you've done your backup file in drive D: that is your recovery Partition. You are NOT supposed to do.
  Recovery partiton has a very small disk space, no time to fill up the partition.
  Read this...

  Your recovery partition D is implemented by the manufacturer of your computer in the event of serious problems in your system.
  You use it to restore your system.

  You're NOT supposed to touch it... not to add or remove anything from or to it.

  Have you been using the D drive for scheduled backups of file?
  If this is the case, you call the manufacturer of the computer, tell them the situation...

  1. ask for a set of recovery DVD to reinstall Vista, if you do not have a game made yourself.
  2. ask how to remove backup files or elements that are NOT supposed to be there.
  They created the recovery partition, they know how to take care of it.
  Let them teach how you to.
  ..................................................................................................................

  RE: d ' training is complete

  D: is the recovery Partition to your computer at the factory standards,
  and to make you recovery disks from!

  Contact * Dell * purchase DVD recovery and fixation of your recovery Partition.
  They know exactly which files have to be there and those who you
  delete!

  In the future, buy an external hard drive and back up to that.

• error messages from Windows vista backup company

  I just got a laptop with Vista Business replacement and no system disk.  I downloaded and installed all of the 200 + windows vista updates including Service pack 2.  Now I'm doing a system recovery on DVD disks before starting the arduous task of reinstalling all my programs and data files, but I keep receiving the error message 0 x 80780119 not enough disk space to create the volume shadow copy on the storage location... and storage 0x8004231F insufficient to create either storage copy shadow file or other shadow copy data.

  Following the advice I found on another forum of Vista, I resized memory Ghost by using this command, vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage / For = C: / On = C: / MaxSize = 30 GB, who apparently has apparently solved this problem for others, but does not work for me.

  I try next? Be explicit because I'm not very familiar with this flavor of operating system Windows.

• Windows Vista backup and restore: no path to write the disc label

  Original title: Back-up-Windows Vista

  Automatic backup on windows vista provides a label to write on the dvd in the external disk drive. There is no pop-up window to indicate where to write that the label - so fails it AutoSave.

  When I insert a blank DVD RW in the drive E back-up indicates firstly that there is no disc in drive E. When I insert this disc a second time, that a pop-up window indicates that I have to label this disk as shown above, but there is no path [local] who then shows how to label this disc.

  Brucebkb123,

  I would, if I were you, save all the time and the aggravation of the use of DVDs for backup of files.
  Go to a RELIABLE computer store (not Best Buy), ask for an EXTERNAL hard drive for backup of files. Not the 'E' drive that you said. This isn't an external hard drive.
  Today, a drive Ext. hard can easily be done for less than $100. It is well worth, instead of pulling your hair.

  Make sure what you say "external hard drive for backing up files.

• Problems of restoring a backup of Windows Vista backup and restore program

  I recently had to completely reinstall Windows XP, then the Vista upgrade, to fix a problem with updates of Microsoft.NET and ATI graphic driver.  In may, I made a full backup of my laptop using Vista resident backup and restore program, using an external hard drive to store the backup.  When I learned that I had to reinstall the operating system, I did another backup in August (but not complete) using the same program.  Just after this backup in August, I did the reinstallation of operating systems, with the help of the phone of Dell.  My original problems are solved.

  When I was ready to use the restore the Vista program, I had to choose among the two sets of data (May to August) about which I wanted to restore on my laptop.  I chose August, thinking that it would be later.  However, in Outlook, all my saved e-mail messages are gone, I have no e-mail address book and any current calendar entries.  These are the only things I noticed up to this and are not, but I have not checked all the files... they are large enough.

  The folder on my laptop which normally contains my Outlook data files shows only a file Archive and the very small current .pst data file for 7 messages in my Inbox.

  It seems that the backup of August was important to may backup and maybe most of my Outlook data are in the may backup.  How to get data from two backups in my laptop?  When the backup is a folder with the same name, you have the opportunity to write about it, not copy, or copy it and have 2 folders.

  I tried to copy all the data from the external hard drive in the folder of Outlook data on my laptop.  It will eventually be several files, and Outlook reads only the more recent, so I don't always get access to the data that I hope is here!

  Can someone please?  My life is in my calendar, I lost years of e-mail addresses, and much saved messages that contain important data.  Thank you!

  Hello

  You must import the Outlook.pst files from backups in your current Outlook. Copy your gift
  Outlook.pst file somewhere else as a backup incase you made a mistake. If necessary you can IMPORT
  New in Outlook. If you import all your old Outlook.pst files into your new perspective you should have the
  total sum of all. Import e-mail messages, and then click contacts.
