You can use a single hard drive to store an image disk backup and restore for multiple computers?

I have a couple of computers that I recently installed Win7 on. As soon as I do an install I always do a backup image is preparing for the worst. Do I need a separate hard drive for each computer that I do a backup or image can I put all my images on a hard drive backup? I already have two separate a HDs different images, but would like to have them all in one place. I already tried a straight copy of an image to HAND HD I would use like, but without success. Is this possible or do I really a backup image HD?

Depends on what you use for backup.  in General, you need not to have a picture in HD.

Personally, I like acronis true image home 2012 (free trial) because it is flexible, easy to use and workjs each time.

  • You can a second Sata hard drive in the M series?

    Hello

    Can I install a second hard drive in the M series?

    In particular, I would like to install a Seagate Barracuda SATA 1 TB drive.

    I know he has a Bay, but I can shelter the disc in another case.

    Thank you

    I think it depends on the version of the m series that you have.

    the series m72e (small footprint); There is only a single 3.5 "sata bay.

    on the motherboard there are 3 sata headers (cd player / hard drive + 1 other).

    the way I did it was to order a double silverstone 2.5-online adapter disk 3,5 '' screwed into the slot of the drive (be careful; not all Player cards have lower fastening screws).

    This allowed me to put a ssd 2.5 "and a 2.5 hard drive" in the case.

    otherwise, it would be pretty tight/impossible to squeeze in 2 size 3.5 "hard drives in the m72e

  • can I use an external hard drive to increase the disk space and memory on xp?

    I am considering an external hard drive of 1 TB to trasmet all files on the computer. There is little hard drive space and memory left. Can I use the external hard drive free space and can it will be installed via USB and use my operating system?

    You can use the external hard drive to transfer your data from your internal hard drive.  Cannot move system files (such as Program Files, Windows and swap files) well.  Looks like your use of the word 'memory' made reference to disk space - it normally refers to which an external drive would not affect RAM.  If you mean disk space, however, you can certainly free SPAC drive this way.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • Can I download Windows XP Backup and Restore Wizard?

    When I bought my computer I did not receive the Windows XP disks.  I want to make a backup of the entire system on an external hard drive, as opposed to the individual file backup.  All the help files I've found say to insert the XP disc.  Then I found the Backup Wizard online and install it directly to my computer?

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will need to install the XP Backup utility yourself and here are some instructions on how to do it.

    If you are not using XP Home and XP backup is to give you some grief, try to describe the issue in more detail.

    The backup program is automatically installed on XP Professional, but not on XP Home. If you have the genuine bootable XP Home installation CD, insert it into your system and navigate to this folder:

    \ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP

    Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file to start the installation.

    Here is a nice article from Microsoft which tell you all this:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=302894

    Here is another article that explains how to:

    If you don't have an installation CD and need to download the Ntbackup.msi file, here is the link if you can download:
    http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

    If you are using in relying on the built in NT backup to back up your system, it is the primitive technology (obviously - because you will be asked for a floppy disk).  If you have a disaster (even minor), you will have a big problem, trying to recovery your stuff, if you don't have a floppy drive.

    If you want to make a backup, it makes sense to use modern technology - and that the technology is not integrated into XP.

    There are many popular options for XP Backup and imaging software (s) of third parties.

    A people a popular seem to love East of Acronis.

    With this (free 30 day trial) you backup, you can make a bootable CD or bootable USB (which is modern, huh?) and use than disaster.

    They used to have a completely free version - maybe no more - just the trial, then you must buy it, but it is highly respected.

    It is so much more robust than the XP Backup, it's laughable.

    Many other options if you do a little research on Google...

    Here are a few products that PML has proposed may be attractive (use Google to find them):
