Apr 12, 2009I don't know if this has been asked already and sorry if it has.
Is there a way to save both Vista and Windows 7 complete system image on the same partition? If possible rename the folders at least (I tried this but didn't work)?
I have a limited space in my hard drive and allocated only one partition for system backups. I'm quite happy with Windows 7 and I would like to have both Vista and Windows 7 backups just in case. I'm also trying to avoid multiple DVDs as backup media as much as possible so that restoring the image would be easier for my kid when i'm not around.
Users Files Folder Disappeared
Feb 10, 2013While I was searching for something, my C:/users folder disappeared.So my desktop lost all its folders and some icons and shortcuts. And of course I had no 'Documents' folder, etc.I then discovered that I had no System Restore points (I've created some now).I finally managed to work out that somehow 'show hidden filles and folders' had been un-ticked.So I ticked that option, and now all the missing items are back - but they're all 'pale' and all the icons within those folders are 'pale' as well.What does this mean? I can open the files and folders.

Nov 1, 2010I have a Win7 ultimate 64bit I recieved from a friend. I assumed it was one of his Microsoft apps he gets in his MSDN subscription for free. Anyway, every now and then I would get these pop-ups from Microsoft saying its not genuine. He would give me a script to run that would fix it, until it would happen again.Bottom line I foud out later this was pirated software so I purchased a normal copy (win7 pro 64 bit) to do a reinstal of the software, BUTTTTT now I can't do it because I keep getting these errors saying "Windows was unable to create the required instalation folder 0x80070005". I know the last update for the pirated copy was something to remove "RemoveWAT.exe". I tried to do a restore in Win7 to a previous state but it errored "0x80070001"Any advice on what to do. I don't want to have to reformat the whole drive, because this was a dual boot on a new MAC so I could boot in iether MAC or Win7.

View 6 Replies View RelatedBackup Folder Simply Disappeared From External Hard Drive
Nov 16, 2011Last week I've reinstalled my Windows 7 because my notebook was slow and I wanted to went back to the factory setting. I've picked my Seagate external HD (2TB) and moved everything I had into a folder called "[Acer]".
Well, I had some problems with external hard drives this year, I've lost many information from an external HD, and I found out that it was because I've connected this HD in a Macintosh. I really DON'T KNOW WHY, but every folder that I had opened in my Macintosh went CORRUPTED in Windows 7, with no chances to repair the files.
Since then, I haven't plugged my external hard drives into my Macintosh.
I don't know if it's a Windows 7 problem or a problem with my Seagate HD, but the quantity of issues that I had with this external HD since then was crazy. Every time I disconnected this HD and then connected again, Windows asked me to repair and scan the files. And the amount of time to scan everything was, like, one and a half hour... so it was bugging me a lot. But the real problem is: yesterday I've plugged my external HD and my backup folder (called "[Acer]" simply disappeared from the drive. I've tried to run "chkdsk E: /F", with no success.
Now I'm running a "chkdsk E: /R", and it will take me a lot of time, and I'm really not positive to recover my backup folder.
All the old folders are there, everything is fine, but this folder disappeared, only this folder (and everything that were inside of it) disappeared.
I've also tried Recuva (Recuva - Download) to recover my folder, but it haven't found it.
Recover A File When Replaced Its Folder?
Aug 13, 2012you know when you have 2 folders with the same name and the computer asks you if you want to replace it, keep both and such ? well, I did that to a very important folder that was on my external hard drive, now I don't know what to do� is there any way to recover the folder to its version before I replaced it?ps: information - I replaced using a mac OSX Lion, but I can use any softwares for windows since the folder is on my hard drive not on my laptop - also, they were photos, which I edited with photoshop, so maybe there's something I can do in photoshop, maybe? - it wasn't deleted, it was replaced!

May 18, 2012so my lil sister brought her laptop (win 7 home premium) over last night saying it was broken. As it turns out windows does not load and it will not do so even in safe mode.
So i decided i would recover the laptop, but first wanted to get her data off the HDD. I have the HDD out and can get everything off of it, except her personal folder where all her documents are stored.
Is there any way for me to gain access to this folder or will i have to run HDD file recovery software to get the data off?

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecover Files After Deleting Partition With Folder Structure?
Jul 16, 2011I deleted my partitions by mistake. Drive originally had 2 partitions, 100MB (Windows 7 setup partitiion) and 930GB (Data storage partition). In summary:
1) I deleted the 100MB partition (because disk is(was) now storage disk) and 930gb partition were deleted too.
2) I started following a guide from microsoft and re-create the 2 partitions as RAW (without format).
3) I deleted the 2 raw partition and created a full space partition to the disk QUICK FORMATTING NTFS.
4) Started to try "Recuva" but most of the files recovered (1,000,000 files) are broken, i tried the option to recover Folder Structure but fails.
Is there any way to recover the files and Folder Structure properly? Except of the partitions deletions/creations I didn't write anything inside the disk.
Startup Does Not Complete
Jan 1, 2013I've started having a problem on my Dell desktop PC with Windows 7 Home Premium. Sometimes, when I attempt to start the PC, the process will not finish and it just hangs. It seems to happen at the same point in the process. After the welcome screen, the wallpaper and shortcut icons load. If they load all at the same time and the tray items show, the start up will be successful.However, sometimes the process stops right after the wallpaper loads. Sometimes some of the icons will appear with others as only white icons. Sometimes, none of the icons will appear. If I let it set for awhile, nothing happens - the blue circle continues to spin, but nothing else happens. When I attempt to shut down or click any of the other icons in the quick start tray, the blue circle just shows on top of them. No matter what I try at this point, nothing works. The only thing I can do is hold down the power button to shut down. Then, when I try to startup again, I get the error message that Windows was not properly shut down and I either "start windows normally" or go into "safe mode". I haven't installed any hardware since this started, and I've tried to isolate if a certain program has caused this. Sometimes I will uninstall the last program installed while I am in safe mode, but I find that this was not the problem program. When I shut down from safe mode, Windows closes properly and then I can try and startup normally again. This is sometimes successful, sometimes not.I've tried doing a full scan with Norton Internet Security and Malwarebytes while in safe mode, but they both show no issues. I also tried a startup repair in Windows, but that also showed no issues.

Jun 16, 2009From what I hear, pretty much everyone in the developed world who uses 7 will have Windows Backup included - not just files and folders, but system image backup as well.
Your average punter is not going to look any further than that.
That's got to be bad news for Acronis, Macrium, etc.
Sure, the enthusiasts will check out 3rd party options - like they do with browsers.
You would think the big name must have considered an anti - trust case.
Maybe they didn't go ahead as some versions of 7 won't include it ( you're not very likely to see those).
Or because they didn't want to upset the MS lovers - witness the vitriol heaped on Opera by people who should know better.
It was available in Vista - but only the higher priced versions - people chose to pay extra for that.
Here's another chance for a controversial discussion - go for it.
Install Not Complete After New CPU
Oct 18, 2010I was successfully running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my machine as it was with a AMD Athlon dual core processor, on my MSI 770T-C45 motherboard.I purchased and installed a AMD Phenom II X6 1055t which IS supported by this motherboard (after bios flash).
I flashed the bios using the correct procedures, and any time i wold log into windows i would get BSOD and the message "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION" and also down below "rushtop64.sys" something... i would post the dump, but i have since formatted.I couldnt solve that issue, the computer would run fine in safe mode.i had not changed any other hardware. I googled for ages, and saw that if i was to change processor to more cores, that i should re format and reinstall windows.I got my windows disk, tried to do a clean install. Once it "completing install" and restarts, all i get is a blank black screen with the ( _ ) cursor type thing flashing in the top left of the screen and the computer freezes.

Dec 4, 2009I have a new Dell XPS 13 (Windows 7 64-bit) and am pleased with it thus far. I have successfully created a system image on DVDs (Using Windows utility).
Twice I have tried the Windows Backup utility to back up all user files (what Windows selects) to DVDs and it does not complete! The utility gets to 66% or 67% running for approx 4-6 hours and does not prompt to insert another DVD (the 2nd). The total size of data to backup is approx 11GB. The second time I disabled the antivirus software (MSE) hoping that was causing the problem.
Any suggestions or solutions?
I'd like to backup to DVDs as I have plenty and do not have an external HD available.
PDF Complete Replacement ?
Jan 1, 2013My HP p6710f came with �PDF Complete� which lets you save a single page of a PDF as its own PDF file. This option comes up when you right click on a PDF and choose Print & then the printer, which is PDF Complete.However I did not know this was a trial program & mine just ran out. Every month I generate a PDF with several pages, but each page is for a different person. I found it convenient to print or save each person�s page separately in order to email to them.
I need a replacement for PDF Complete & was hoping to find something which has the same functions. I have seem some free programs for creating PDF files but am unable to figure out if they can save individual pages as new PDFs.

Oct 3, 2011Before I go along with my rant, I'm not a computer expert nor near one. I'll try to provide as much information as I know/have. I'm desperate for any answer and if this is located in the incorrect aI have a Lenovo Windows 7 64-bit laptop. I currently have 4.00GB of RAM ( 3.80GB usable ), my processor is Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU P6100 @ 2.00GHz.I've always had problems with my two USB slots and the bottom one stopped working all together. Last night, after pushing my USB cord in the incorrect slot, I heard a crack. After replugging my mouse into the correct USB slot, it would not work. After rebooting my computer, it completely slowed down as if someone recorded what I was doing on the computer and played it in slow-motion.
Start up took about 5 minutes and was quite sluggish. It told me to pick an OS and my choices were either "7" and I forgot the other option, unfortunately. Freaking out, I tried to shut it back off, but once I took my finger off the button, it turned on automatically no matter how long I held it down. This time it asked if I wanted to " repair ( recommended ) " or start normally. I chose to repair my computer and it showed no difference.When I finally got on my name I right away noticed the sluggish performance. Again, it was like my actions were being performed in slow motion. I turned on some music and instead of hearing some lovely piano, I heard a completely lagged song. When getting on my internet ( which I'm still struggling with at this moment ) it took me nearly half an hour just to create an account here, when usually I'd be done lickity split.
I was told by a few friends who are knowledgeable with computers that the USB cannot effect the actual hardware. I'm afraid that, that crack I heard at least did something, since right before I restarted the computer it was working fast and perfectly. Mind you, this computer is only 6 months old.I restored my computer and it made no difference. I check for viruses and malware everyday ( using Spybot, microsoft essentials and malwarebytes anti-malware ) and my results came clean. I'm sorry for the long rant, but I tried to provide as much information as I could. I did try contacting Lenovo, but I do not have a phone nor a cell phone due to financial reasoning and that's the ONLY way to contact their tech support.
Windows Could Not Complete The Installation...
Dec 25, 2011Just got a new HP laptop for Christmas (yeah. It's not even 7 on Christmas morning and I'm already having problems.) I've seen a lot of people with this problem, but I can't fix it the way they did. "Windows could not complete installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation." Here's the catch:I can't start it in Safe Mode.I can't access task manager.F11 does nothing.I've tried alt+tab to see if these things are running in the background; they're not.I don't have any disks.It's an HP Pavilion dv7, and I got it refurbished.

Jun 9, 2010I have attempted to install Windows 7 a couple of times now (with different copies each time) and I keep getting the same problem:Everything goes very smoothly for the most part. It finishes the installation, and then goes to reboot. When it attempts to load up Windows 7 the first time, I get the black screen that asks what mode to start windows in (Safe Mode, Start Normally, etc) and I choose start normally. It then brings up the Win 7 startup screen, but pops up with an error that explains that the computer was rebooted unexpectedly and the install did not complete.From this point, all I can do is click the "ok" button (the only option given in the dialog box) which just restarts the computer. If I just let it go and don't touch anything, it brings me back to the exact same message. This happens infinitely. My only other option is to boot from CD again, which lets me start the install all over again. But this still just results in the same error. I ended up just re-installing XP so that I could try and find a fix for the issue.

Nov 15, 2011I know this is a Windows 7 forum but perhaps someone here can help. My wife has given me permission to use her laptop to experiment with Ubuntu and Ubuntu variations on the condition that when she gets it back it will exactly as she left it. So... is there a way to back up the entire OS with installed programs, settings, personal files, etc? I know about dualbooting but in case something goes awry it would be handy to just be able to pop in a disc(s) and replace everything where it was.
