Bootcamp Win 7 - system restore failure due to missing drivers

brand new MacBookAir6,2 Intel Core i7 MacOS 10.9
Installation of Win 7 prof. 64bit via bootcamp (no problems)
I ran a back-up of the system over my network and then tried a restore. This fails due to the fact that upon invoking the restore option with win 7 and reboot/choice of OS, I get a window asking for the language to be chosen which I cannot manipulate. Apparently, at this point no single driver is installed: neither the aplle keyboard driver nor a usb driver (tried an external usb keyboard - no success).
This means that at this point bootcamp win7 backups are useless since they can't be addressed if the need arises.
Suggestions welcome.

Are you using NTFS driver in Mac OS X to WRITE to your MyBook?
If so, switch to Paragon Software's. Demo is fine.
MyBooks are often trouble, though usually under OS X.
In Windows, do chkdsk on it.

  • RESTORE failure: "due to unknown error"

    ITunes prompted me to install latest update. Install failed and IPhone locked. Got message that indicated IPhone was in recovery mode and needed to be restored. Have attempted restore several times, which always fails with a message that says, "Restore failed due to unknown error." Any suggestions as to how to proceed? Thanks.

    exact same thing happened to me when updating to the 2.02 software, error code 2005. i realized that i was using the cable from my originial iphone. it works to charge the 3G iphone and sync, but apparently not to update software. and they are almost impossible to tell apart.
    switched to the 3G cable and all was updated and restored. you would think they would either make the cables compatible or clearly identify them as different.

  • System restore failure

    the other day i started to do a system restore to out of box state on my laptop and then decided i didn't have enough time to complete it before leaving for work so i hit the cancel button. it canceled the process for me and shut down. now getting home and turning on my laptop i get an error: f3-200-0002 an error has occured. please press ok to turn off the computer. when trying to start windows. so i tried holding 0 when turning on the computer to try a system recovery and get error: f3-ff00-0006 failed to get the id of the specified partition. please press ok to turn off the computer. how do i get windows to load or allow me to run my recovery disks.

    ..run my recovery disks.
    The recovery discs should work just fine.

  • W540 - Failure due to missing i/o HD light

    Word of warning about TuneUp utilities AVG Zen.
    Yesterday I got the offer to upgrade my license to the new PC-Tune from AVG.  Failed on the W540 with error @AVGMSI_Error1729 [0xC00706C1].
    Advised to run repair file AVG_BFEfix.exe
    Program says "WORK IN PROGRESS - Please be patient..." OK, it's been running for 25+ minutes. Program only has a flashing square box, no metering, or other status information.
    On my other systems, AVG Zen works, but it's sole purpose seems to be to sell you other programs and license administration.  Many of these programs are vertical in nature, and claim YOUR machine as THEIRS.
    So... the question is:  Is the W540 working? Cleaning something?  Is the computer locked? All this cloud business is a failure for people who work.  Adobe ruined my install of PS CC and most Cloud tech support want to log into your machine remotely.
    Think carefully.  Why did Lenovo follow MS's directive and removed the HD light or WiFi light??

    Using 'DriveGleam v1.12'.  Seems to work OK when there is a screen to look at (e.g. fully booted), but on boot and shut down, or MS updates, I still have no idea what gives. I have yet to get the right colors in DriveGleam.
    I did get a Rikiki drive as my external backup and a USB 3.0 Lexar NOT SANDISK USB key!, as my external boot drive for True Image.  The restores are great, no issues after 20+ restores.  Maybe a USB 3.0 256gig is in the offing. No Rikiki then. The restores are relatively quick. Would be quiker with an external SSD/USB3 or to the 2nd SSD in the caddy.
    Ummm let me think, added items to use as a workstation:
    1) Mouse or Wacom
    2) USB SD card reader
    3) Rikiki
    4) DVD drive (I have a fixed SSD in the DVD slot, no easy field swap)
    5) USB 3 port extender AND PSU for powered ports.
    6) Inline switch on power brick with neon light
    7) Cables for all the workarounds.
    Thank goodness the battery sticks out in the back, this partially protects the power cord from bending. Albeit, my plug is already slightly bent from accidentally lifting from the front.  I'm a klutz.

  • System Update failure due to lack of space

    I have a Thinkpad X41 with XP and Office 2007.
    I just use as a note taker in meetings so I don't have any other programs or files on it.
    Up until recently it worked fine, however, when I try System Update I get  an error, with the message insufficient room on harddisk.  As I have no files on the computer I have plenty of spare space with more than 40 GB available.  I have checked this many times.
    I have unistalled and reinstalled the System Update software.  Same thing.
    I called the Lenovo Support last year.  They hadn't heard of the problem but offered to investigate and call back.  They never did.
    Does anyone know about this problem?

    This is not the "problem" at all! I'm using my wife's machine so she is the principal admin. I have admin privileges but I can't re-install or upgrade FireFox (or any other program) without logging out as me and logging in as her. My "complaint" is that if FireFox can recognize this when I select "Check for Upgrades", (and tell me I don't have privileges to make the installation) why can't it tell me this when it automatically checks for upgrades? It would just make it look cleaner. This is normal Mac behavior. I know I could re-install it under my name if I wanted to but then, I would have to upgrade it all the time.

  • ICal event invitation failures due to missing/malformed email addresses

    These problems, although slightly different, appear in both 10.5.8 and 10.6.1. I don't see in the release notes that this was addressed in 10.6.2, but I have not installed it yet.
    In 10.5.8, sometimes when a user is invited through the iCal invitation, an email is (attempted) to send with no email address in the to field; it's completely blank, and the mail server rejects it with a bounce message. Below is an example of the bounce message:

  • 1.Backup to External drive 2. CoverArt lost after Windows system restore

    I recently spent many hours searching for and applying cover art for my music which was mostly ripped before cover art was readily available.
    Because of this investment, I want to be sure my library is fully backed up. I want to use space on an external drive, rather than DVD's.
    I noticed as I added art, iTunes started acting sluggish. I thought it might be because of the new version or a recent Windows Vista update. So I decided to run system restore. I was appalled to discover that restore wiped out the art I had added. So I reversed the restore and the cover art returned. It became clear to me that the art must be stored in some other way than in the actual music file. I've searched the forum and found others who had problems with system restore, but no explanation of exactly what I should do if I want to proceed with a system restore. I use system restore several times a year and I have never lost anything in iTunes before I started adding cover art. I also never had a problem with sluggishness til I added a bunch of cover art.
    My library is large at 3000 items.
    Is there a way to compact or optimize the database to improve responsiveness?
    Is there a way to backup to an external drive? Is it just a file copy and export library file?
    If I export the library as an xml file before I do a system restore, can I then replace it after the restore and protect my cover art.

    To be completely sure what you're doing please take a look at your iTunes Folder and see what Vista stores inside it. To find it, go to Start>Computer>Hard Disk C>Users>Your Name>Music>iTunes>.......
    Please note there is an artwork folder PLUS a music folder!
    My guess is that your system restore point pre-dated the time you added artwork to your iTunes files. (Celebrate that system restore still works for you--I have not been able to successfully restore for over a year now--Norton Internet Security causes system restore failures for many Windows users! I've tried to do this using Windows XP and Vista--and I can never successfully restore anymore.)
    To fully backup your library, just copy the entire iTunes folder to another source--second hard drive, USB drive, or burn it to a CD or DVD, etc.
    If you're experiencing "sluggishness" it may be due to the amount of RAM on your system. iTunes needs a great deal of RAM to run smoothly. You can choose to: increase the RAM on your system, OR, turn off cover flow/album view and see if things run more smoothly.

    As there are errors associated with ntpd, I would temporarily disable the ntpd service and also ipv6.
    If they are not the only problem, at least your logs would be easier to examine for other problems.

  • Fresh install of windows missing drivers

    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=&sw_lang=&product=517779...
    ^ That is my product with its drivers ^
    I managed to install a few:
    IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver
    Intel HD Graphics Driver
    Synaptics Touchpad Driver
    Validity Fingerprint Sensor Driver
    Broadcom Wireless LAN
    Realtek Local Area Network LAN
    But when I go to Device Manager I still get missing drivers:
    I'm not sure what those are... I tried the Scan Now from the HP site to let HP scan my system for out-date and missing drivers, but after I installed the extension to Chrome, nothing happens when I hit Scan.. it's like the button has no action.
    So does anybody know which drivers it is I need to DL?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Please provide the HardwareID's for each of those devices. This will aid us in assisting you with the missing drivers.
    Just taking a guess, I would say... Intel Chipset Installation Utility and Driver, Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver, Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver, Realtek Card Reader Driver, and one of the 3 USB 3.0 Host Controller Drivers (Fresco Logic, Renesas Electronics, or NEC Electronics).

  • TS3212 Error  reinstall itunes message  due to missing registry items on a Win 7 64bit system and the install is going to C:/program files/.

    I have downloaded itunes and run the installation but I keep getting an error message. the request is to reinstall itunes due to missing registry items.  The exact message is:
              The registry setting used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. 
              This can happen as  a  result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Win 7 x64 - Need to repair a single driver, but can't use System Restore

    Basic Info - an HP/Compaq Elite 8200 Convewrtible Minitower with 2 extra SATA drives & a Creative SoundBlaster card installed.
    Background:  My system had begun going into Blue Screen (BS hereafter) every couple of days with a message that the BIOS was not "fully ACPI compliant."  I contaced HP and was able to obtain & install the needed BIOS upgrade.  Following this, I decided to do some housekeeping & checked for out-of-date drivers.  I installed these one at a time, as I had a previous bad experience with updating too many drivers, particularly Intel chipset drivers, at a single time.  When I finished the last update, which involved two drivers labeled IntStrA and IntStrB, if I recall correctly (I'm posting this from my PC at work, so I may have the names off by a character or so) my system began going BS after ~10 minutes or so.  Nearly every BS referenced the MicroSoft system driver wdf01000.sys.
    It is my belief that either wdf01000.sys became corrupted, or the last 2 updates were having a negative impact on the M S driver.  Unfortunately, if I try to use System Restore to roll back the suspect updates, the system will BS ~1-2 minutes after the m essage "Restore is initializing" appears.
    The only solution I can get from the HP Tech is to back up my data and then use the "Erase, Reformat & Reinstall" function from the Recovery Disks.  Unfortunately, with a system that goes B S every 10 minutes, it is impossible to perform a reliable back-up for all 3 disks, while the Recovery Disk is only willing to back up my drive F:\, not my primary OS Drive, C:\ or my other drive, G:\ (the HP Recovery partition is drive D:\).
    My questions are:
    1.  If the problem is a corrupted WDF01000.sys is it possible to obtain a reliable copy of & replace it?  (The HP tech warned about the danger of obtaining a copy of a MicroSoft sysem file from the internet - a danger of which I was fully aware - but, isn't there at least one system in HP's possession running Windows 7 x64 professional?  I should think a file supplied from HP would be sufficiently safe.  However, when I raise the possibility with the tech, there is no response.)
    2.  If the problem stems from the last 2 Intel driver updates, is there a way to get a functional OS loaded from DVD that would peremit System Restore to run?  My last system had Win 7 installed from MS media and, as I recall, once loaded, the use of System Restore was one of the repair options.  The HP Recolvery disks only offer 2 choices - back-up (which would only cover drive F:\, with <10% of my 4+ years worth of data) or "Erase, Reformat & Reinstall."  Following this course would put at risk ~90% of my data, not to mention the grief of reinstalling a great deal of software.
    3.  The HP tech tells me that, since Recovery is only willing to back up drive F:\, this is where the Recovered OS would be installed.  This would give me the independently loaded OS I sought in question 2.   However, I greatly fear that drive where recovery operated would be my primary OS drive, C:\.  If this were the case, the result would be disastrous!  I do have back-up via Carbonite, but I don't think this has been operating properly since the ACPI-related BSs began.
    So -- any suggestions?  Anything that gets me out of this problem without loss of data will be most sincerely appreciated!

    Hello TomF,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that after running some updates your system is getting BSOD errors associated with the Windows file wdf01000.sys. Now I cannot claim to be able to get you a copy of that file. I am not sure just replacing it would resolve your issue anyways. I can do this for you I can tell you that first the HP Compaq 8200 Elite Convertible Minitower PC is a commercial product. You can do this at you may get more assistance by posting this on the commercial forums at  Business PCs - Compaq, Elite, Pro.
    Additionally, I would suggest you start your computer in Safe Mode and using an elevated command prompt run the command "SFC /SCANNOW". You can do this by right-clicking on the Command Prompt link and choosing Run as adminstator. Also, you can use chkdsk to run another repair on your files to see if they can be repaired.
    The SFC /SCANNOW command will run the System File Checker to see if it can repair any corrupted system files where the chkdsk will do the same, but for ALL the files on your computer.
    I am also providing you with resources on both below:
    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
    Run Check Disk from a Command Line to Check for and fix Disk Errors
    I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    then it's fine to perform a system restore, but it will revert some changes you have made on your system.
    and detailed infoemation would be helpful.
    Regards

    Most error messages relating to missing .dll files are due to virus scanners. The scanner removes the threat (the .dll file) but leaves the program behind that tries to invoke the .dll file. Your recipe of using System Restore to fix the problem could well
    backfire: It might restore the infected .dll file! This is why it is important to know the full wording of the error message. If the missing file resided in the System32 folder then it's probably OK to restore it. If it resided elsewhere then restoration would
    probably be a bad idea.

  • ORA-19612: datafile 0 not restored due to missing data

    Hello,
    I'm testing a restore of the controlfile. The database is in archivelog mode and autobackup is set to ON. I successfully did a full backup and backup as copy database.

  • Datafile not restored due to missing or corrupt data

    Hi all,
    I was asked to restore a RMAN backup which we got from another region, the rman backup contains controlfiles and datafiles as compressed backupset.
    oracle version is 10.2.0.3.0
    aix version 6
    First, I have restored the control file using the below command:
    run
    +{+
    allocate channel t1 type disk;
    restore controlfile from '/oracle/app/prod/rman/cf_t799873684_s17_p1';
    alter database mount;
    +}+
    Second, I have cataloged the backup piece:
    catalog backuppiece '/oracle/app/prod/rman/df_t794754324_s12_p1';
    catalog backuppiece '/oracle/app/prod/rman/df_t793567544_s13_p1';
    catalog backuppiece '/oracle/app/prod/rman/df_t731097654_s14_p1';
    catalog backuppiece '/oracle/app/prod/rman/df_t792538698_s15_p1';
    catalog backuppiece '/oracle/app/prod/rman/df_t792183472_s16_p1';
    catalog backuppiece '/oracle/app/prod/rman/cf_t799873684_s17_p1';
    Third, used below command to restore:
    +run {+
    allocate channel t1 type disk;
    allocate channel t2 type disk;
    allocate channel t3 type disk;
    allocate channel t4 type disk;
    set newname for datafile 01 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/system01.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 02 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/undotbs01.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 03 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/sysaux01.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 04 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/users01.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 06 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/datafile005.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 07 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/datafile006.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 08 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/datafile007.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 09 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/datafile008.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 10 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/datafile009.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 11 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/datafile010.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 14 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/datafile001.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 15 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/datafile002.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 16 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/datafile003.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 17 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/datafile004.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 18 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/indfile001.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 19 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/indfile002.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 20 to '/oracle/app/oradata/dbprod/indfile011.dbf';
    restore database;
    switch datafile all;
    recover database;
    +}+
    But while restoring, I got error like below:
