Backup issues - New T510 running Windows 7 Professional (64-bit)

I am running Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) on Lenovo T510 (4313-CTO). As soon as I loaded some applications and transferred data from my old computer to “My Documents” in the “C” partition of the T510 I immediately began having space issues with automatic backup. I received the following alert:
Low Disk Space.
You are running out of disk space on Lenovo_Recovery (Q
Click here to see if you can free space on this drive.
The "Q" partition was pre-set by Lenovo at 9.76 GB.  I have not tried to change it (yet).
I set the backup options to “Keep only the latest system image and minimize space used by backup.” Note that I viewed backups and it lists only one backup image on the “Q” partition (given the warning message, perhaps even that is only a partial image).
Properties for the “Q” partition indicate
Used space: 10,476,949,504 bytes 9.75 GB
Free space: 8,806,400 bytes 8.39 MB
Capacity 10,485,755,904 bytes 9.76 GB
What do I do at this point to complete a backup?
If relevant to your suggestions, here are some specific questions about solving the problem:
How can I manage backups to the “Q” partition given the space issue – i.e., do I need to reallocate partitions on the hard drive to create a larger “Q” partition, or are there other options?
Related to my first question, can I create sufficient backup space without reformatting the hard drive and destroying content on the “C” partition?
Would the better choice be to use DVD media for backup – since using the “Q” partition on the same hard drive leaves it vulnerable to failing at the same time as the “C” partition?
Any other ideas?
Thanks, in advance, to all who are able to respond. Peace … E

Thanks Nap.
To Nap and others
Got it on back-up.  I did not initiate a backup but assumed that the error messages that I am receiving were caused by a Lenovo auto-initiated backup.  What can I do to elminate the error messages I am receiving (see my prior post).
Peace ... Ed

  • Have Photoshop Elements from 2001.  Got new computer with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  It won't run on my new computer.  What version is MOST SIMILAR to the old version I have, that will run on W7P-64?  Thanks for any help.  Popjer

    You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
    How much free space is on your hard drive?
    Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
    Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

  • Firefox doesn't seem to render CSS backgrounds when running in Windows 7 professional 64 bit. Neither does Waterfox

    I recently purchased a new computer running Windows 7 professional 64 bit with a Pentium G630 2.7 ghz processor and 4GB memory on an ASUS P8H61-MX with integrated Intel graphics. Firefox and also Waterfox does not appear to be rendering a lot of background web information. To my mind it seems not to be taking account of all CSS instructions which I establish by checking my own web sites where background colour and images are not being shown. I run another Windows 7 Professional system 32 bit which is OK as is Opera and Safari on this system which leads me to believe it is a browser problem with 64 bit OS but then it still happens with Waterfox.

    I use Firefox on a Windows 7 64bit sytem with no problems. It is probably more likely to relate to your Firefox settings, or some software extension you use.

    I'm a developer I just bought a new laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service pack 1. I downloaded Firefox 11.0 and downloaded and installed the Adobe Flash plugin! I’ve tried just about everything to get the plugin working but Firefox tells me I have an old version and has turned it off for security reasons. I have included the Flash registry settings and the Flash install log. Dell install a version of flash but it looks like the ActiveX not the Plugin Dll. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and Flash many times it still won’t work. Firefox is no good to me without this plugin. Any help would be appreciated.

  • HT1349 I switched computers (running Windows 8.1, 64 bit).   I authorized my new one.   There is no content in my library.   How can I get my library to my new computer?   I cannot deauthorize my old computer.   It died.

    I switched computers.   New one runs Windows 8.1, 64 bit.   I authorized it in iTunes.   I am unable to see any of my library.   I cannot unauthorize my old computer, as it died--hence the new one.

    I have only been running iTunes for a very short time, so it was not backed up.   I know my library is toast.   I can recreate that.   But I should still be able to recover my purchased songs.   There is only music involved, no movies or other media.   Still have an answer?  Thanks.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional that I want to migrate to my newer laptop running Windows 7. I downloaded the file 22020134.exe to reinstall it on my new computer and I go through the hops and when I put in the Serial Number it tells me its invalid.

    22020134.exe is the file Adobe say you must download and run to instal Acrobat 7.0 Pro. I went through the  process, the one described in your link, I downloaded the file, ran it, it runs well, except it tells me my serial number is invalid. Now what? Does this mean I now have to discard my Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional and start again with a $500 purchase? All I want to do is transfer what I have to another computer.

  • I have a new laptop running Windows 8.1. The 10.3.1 version downloaded, but it was incompatible. Then I tried to download Itunes 11.1.5 and it comes up with the box asking me to save. When I click on save...NOTHING happens. AAAAAHHHHH!

    I have a new laptop running Windows 8.1. The 10.3.1 version downloaded, but it was incompatible with Windows 8 and 64-bit. Then I tried to download Itunes 11.1.5 and it comes up with the box asking me to save. When I click on save...NOTHING happens. AAAAAHHHHH!!! I even clicked on the download list to see if it is possessed and downloaded somewhere I didn't choose, but that's NOT happening either. Please help me! I have been messing with this and 4 other problems on this laptop for the last 32 hours. I'm getting tired and frustrated. Also, I haven't even put music on THIS Laptop because on my other one, I ended up with at least 5 copies of EACH SONG. Let's see 636 X 5 = 3,180 and they were in EVERY POSSIBLE LOCATION!!!

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • HT1925 I cannot uninstall Bonjour and Quicktime so I can do a complete reinstall of iTunes.  I get an error message stating that both are older versions and to contact technical support.  I am running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3.

    I am trying to update iTunes on my desktop (running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3) and I continue to receive an error message stating that the update cannot continue because Bonjour and Quicktime are older versions and to contact technical support.  I have tried repairing both and tried to uninstall iTunes and all of it's componants and still receive the same message.  Any help getting this issue resolved as soon as possible will be much appreciated.   

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Next, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot: 
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    I have a new PC running windows 8 and I cannot download my music from Itunes Match.  I have been through all the help topics and my settings appear to be ok.  It will download a couple of songs but then just stop.  In order to download another I have to sign out, sign back in, update itunes match and start again.  I have to do this about every 3 songs.  So its gonna take some time to download my 5000 songs!

  • TS1363 Just installed the new ITunes (running Windows 7) and now it cant see my IPhone

    Just installed the new ITunes (running Windows 7) and now it cant see my IPhone (which it saw fine just a few minutes ago). So I can't do a backup etc. What's wrong and how do I put it right?

    Well, without my doing anything, the situation has now righted itself. I came down this morning, switched on the computer and the IPhone - and now ITunes recognises the IPhone (it is listed under "Devices", which it wasn't before)
    I notice however that the IPhone doesn't get listed under "Devices" until the backup process is complete. So maybe this points to what may have been going on before? Except that the reason I was worried was because the first thing I wanted to do after dowloading the new version of ITunes is make a backup - and I couldn't because ITunes didn't "see" the phone.
    Anyway, not the first time I have had the eerie feeling that my relationship with IWorld is not in my control.

  • I just got a new pc running windows 7 and don't know how to transfer my itunes library from my old computer using windows xp

    i just got a new pc running windows 7 and cannot get my i tunes library from my old windows xp i have an ipad,ipod nano .ipod touch ,will any of these do it? My library is one i downloaded from cds not purchased thanks'

    Iv just got a macbook pro today, and I don't know how to transfer my itunes library from my imac..
    the simplest way, assuming all your media files are in the default location, would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    My sister is having my old imac, so I also need to then clear the itunes on the imac for her.
    just a create a new admin user account for her on the iMac.
