after going through a lot of stress today to fix a certain problem (irrelevant tho') and installed & uninstalled a lot of stuff, I wanted to recover the system to atleast yesterday. But the latest restoration point is today around 7h ago.Is there no way at all to restore the system to yesterday or any day ago? The "error" accured when I shut down my computer yesterday and Windows automatically updatedToday I started the PC and yeah..If there is no other possible way to restore I will explain the problem.
Wanted to know if Windows 7 has the same feature as windows XP in the case described in the following link? Windows XP deletes all system restoration points when disk space is running low. Does windows 7 do the same thing?
I had some files related to my office stored on my computer which i deleted. I want to restore those files back. Is there any way to get back the files on my computer drive.
I had two os partion. C for windows 7 and D for xp. first installed xp on D drive. Then installed windows 7 on C drive. But after installing windows 7 i can't see xp boot option in the boot manager. The system itself is booting into windows 7 only. How can i restore the xp boot options In the windows 7 boot manager.
I'm trying to restore my system with recovery cd. The system disc takes but when I put in the first recovery disc it stops and says Restore failed - Error code=1005(the volume does not catain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted.)
When I lost my internet connection I tried to uninstall my wireless program to re-install it. The windows installer wouldn't uninstall so I loaded files from the computers internal restoration disk to repair some old files. Now my computers not working at all. It won't boot up to install the restoration files. It might tell pop in a restoration disk and then say it can't boot up from a dvd drive. How do I boot up my computer and install the new system?
I recently had some problems with my computer and I ended up restoring the computer to its original factory settings. I chose the option of restoring it while keeping user files and what not. Anyways everything was going well up to this point. The screen has been stuck on "Setup is starting up services" (with that loading bar underneath the text) all night.
I'm pretty sure I did everything right. I unplugged everything, except the keyboard, monitor, and the mouse. I did not insert the Windows 7 recovery disc, but I was under the impression that I didn't need them for what I was doing. Do I just manually shut the computer down? Is there something on the keyboard that should abort the process? My computer is a Gateway and I'm using Windows 7.
I usually restore machine to factory setting once a year, for various reasons. Although I keep system fairly clean, it still gets slow. I hate spending time to install all the programs and OS updates. Since XP days, I used to take snapshots so that instead of restoring to factory setting, I can restore to a setting where all programs are installed. So far NONE of the programs I used worked as I wished, I could always find some leftover folders/files. I don't remember all the programs I used over the period of time.
Now I am on Windows 7 Home edition 64-bit. I have tried its in-built backup but it just did not work. It failed to recognize the back up. I tried system restore point but its rather pathetic, the system restore points just vanish. I think it keeps last 10 or some restore points. I have not tried any other programs on Windows 7 but Macrium Relfect free edition and Paragon backup and recovery 2012, free edition is under consideration to take a system snapshot.
So when I leave my computer it goes into hibernation mode, how ever when I come back it acts like its loading and then the POST comes up after that it says: "Your computer can't come out of hibernation.
Any information that was not saved before the computer went into hibernation will be lost."It does this ever time it goes into hibernation, I disabled it and I have no problems now but I want my computer to hibernate because I leave it on all day long and it will wear components out faster and waste power.I have tried updating all the drivers and hardware drivers from the website for the HD but nothing helped.
It seems my Win7 system is only retaining the last restore point created.I have configured it to save files and settings, and use 5% (5+gb) of available space (Win7 installed on a small partition for now). I can never see more than one available restore point even after ticking the "Show more restore points".
When I open system restore and click more restore points...I get about 60 different restore points dating back to last June.In CCleaner...theree are only about 10 dating back to last week ?Are these 5 dozen restore points a problem and is there a way to get rid of them without losing all recent restore points ?
I get this message when trying to do a system resore "No restore points have been created on your computer's system drive. To create system restore point open System Protection.I have checked that system protection is turned on and the option selected is "Restore system settings and previous versions of files".I have also set the maximum Usage to 30GB. I have tried to create a couple of restore point and it goes through the motions OK but on checking find that none have been created!I have AVG 2012 fully updated and have run a full scan also have the latest Malwarebytes installed and ran a scan with that.
I am having some issues playing Starcraft II that I didn't use to have when I first assembled the computer. I wanted to restore back to where I was several months ago, but the restore point isn't listed in System Restore. In fact, only 3 restore points are offered and they are all in the last few days.I looked at the space available to save these restore points and it was only using 1.59 GB of an allowed 2% which is 10 GB
When my PC wouldn't boot a few months back I thought I was safe with system restor. Wrong , there were no points there to restore to. A few week ago when I was having problems there were no restore points either and I discovered the upgrade install method, and got going again. Having recently been helped with PC crashing several times a day (by uninstalling catalyst Control Centre), I seem to be up and running normally again, but there are no rstore points. I asked about this serveal months back and I seem to remember that there is no automatic creation of restore points (ideally twice a week would be good). I followed instructions to set this up, but still they weren';t there when I needed them.
Having just had en error where I get 'non nsystem disk' message (now solved, I discovered in the process that there were no system restore points since January. I have been in task scheduler and it is set to create one on boot and one at midnight
At my school we have a lot of access points, but sometimes the computer use the wrong access point. How can I solve that? Is there a program for switching access point?
I have Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit system, over 250gig free on Hard drive and 8 gig RAM. For whatever reason, This Windows 7 does not go back on earlier RESTORE points that I know I had set months ago....Is this a general problem with windows 7, or is there something that is not configured correctly, for Windows 7 to retain prior months restore points. What can I do to ensure restore points are created and kept for an extended period of time, given that I have plenty of Hard Disk space?
I am using a Lenovo Y450 Ideapad. When I turned on my laptop one morning, windows 7 refused to start up. After starting off with the initial Lenovo start up screen, a second screen of 'Loading Files' appears. It then goes into Startup Repair. After attempting to repair, a message appears stating that Startup cannot repair this computer automatically. It cannot repair and the only solution is to restart the system and the same cycle repeats. I have read some comments about using F8 and F2 but there are also no restore points (which is surprising) or any image points. I have important data and I usually back it up but havent done so in the last couple of weeks due to work. I am hoping that I can at least get the data out. Also, I do have a Windows 7 CD.
I have dual boot, win 7 and win Xp. Every time i use Win XP, my restore points on win7 are missing. I changed the drive letter on win 7 partition in win Xp with diskmgmt.msc, but still is the same problem.
I own a 4GB Thinkpad SL510 laptop, running Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit w SP1 installed.Lately, I have noticed that my System Restore points disappear. When I open SR and look for restore points, none are there.To test this,I create one and it creates successfully. I go back and check after a while....and it's GONE. There is no apparent pattern of WHEN they disappear. Sometimes they go after a re-boot, sometimes they stay around for a day or so, then disappear. Sometimes they go away while the computer is still on.I would guess that this started about 1 week ago...at least that's when I first noticed it.There is a common error in the event log which I attached here. This seems to coincide with the time I no longer have restore points.The shadow copies of volume C: were aborted because of an IO failure on volume C:.I increased the amount of space for system restore to 40GB (which should be more than enough...this is 20% of my C Drive. I used to have this at 10% with no problems in the past.I've scanned for viruses and nothing comes up.I also ran CHKDSK C: /f /r and I found 4kb with bad sectors but no other areas.
I want to save a restore point by taking its backup becoz system deletes old restore points nd new ones are created . I wanna take its backup so that old restore point can also be used. So can anyone tell me where does system save its restore point.
I noticed my restore points were being deleted for some reason and I went to the System restore settings of my computer, and being oblivious to what I was looking at I confused my recovery drive with my C: and I turned it on and gave it a gig of disk space usage. After I realized I was configuring the wrong one I went back turned it off and deleted restore points but It won't let me put the max usage back to zero it will only let me keep it at 2% (320.00MB).Is this going to cause any problems or is it fine?
I would like to do a system restore, but when I try to do so (system protection/system restore), it tells me that "no restore points have been created on your hard drive".
2 weeks ago I successfully did a system restore, and I have not changed any settings since then. My recovery partition is still in place, the disk manager says the recovery drive has 8 GB out of 15 GB free. Could the restore point be in my recovery partition, but for some reason Windows isn't seeing it? How would I view the recovery partition to check?
Is there a way to store system restore points (System Volume Information) to an alternate disk? Windows is installed on C: and I have the registry set to default to D: but regardless, many programs either install directly to C: or after installing to D:, still use a good bit of space on C:. C: is around 87% filled to capacity whereas I have ample space left on D:. I don't have enough restore points and would like to have the restore info stored on D: where I have ample space.
the comp stops at random points it happens in all os's xp, vista and 7 i have tryed everything i can think off the on;y stange thing is that when in safe mode it works perfectly fine but as soon go onto the normal mode it hangs for 2 to 20 mins at a time. there is no mouse or keyborad movement and no movement on the screen at all. no networked devices or drives. brand new instalation on the os's, full delete, partition and format.
My computer started running very slow today. I've done a couple restores to earlier restore points which haven't helped. The performance trouble shooter won't work and I am trying to do a scan with Microsoft Security Essentials but it is just creeping along. I tried to do an elevated command prompt as Administrator so I could try SFC/Scannow but I get a message that says "Do you want to alow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes...." I got a similar message which concerned c/windows/system 32/rstrui.exe which I had to allow in order to get my restore points to be accessible.
My friend just tried to run a restore on his computer (against my advice) and he somehow uninstalled all of his programs and reset his rights to standard user. I know for fact he didnt have any restore points on his computer (company computer, they dont have it turned on) would this restore go back to his fresh install? I'm trying to figure out where to go from here.
