Can I have multiple images on a single USB drive?

I would like to save an image from my T400 (XP), then upgrade the hard drive to an SSD, then upgrade the OS to Windows 7 (or 8), and take another image.
I have several questions that I hope someone can help me with...
Can I use Rescue and Recovery to save multiple images to a single USB drive?  
If so, how does the sw keep the files separate?
Will it still work if I use two different Rescue and Recovery versions (4.3 for XP, and 4.5 for W7)?
Is there a way to store the images in separate folders on the USB drive, or is that unnecessary?
Is there a better way to do this (including using different sw)?
Thanks in advance,
Ron

If you open Disk Management, you'll see Disk 0 with more than one partition. If you want to rebuild a HD back the same you'll want all or at least two of the partitions. You'll notice the Active Boot partition is not C the Windows drive but a partition called System_Drv (at least in my system). Those two will be mandatory when you image a new drive. Otherwide you'll have some fixing with external tools to get it booting.

  • Can I have multiple files on a single time capsule?

    On a time capsule, can partition different backups for different files, i.e. different computers.

    As Neil says, you can easily back up multiple Macs to the same Time Capsule, as long as it's large enough (see #1 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum). Each Mac's backups will be in a separate sparse bundle.
    If, as in your other post, any of those other computers are PCs, or even Macs using some other backup app, it gets complicated and messy, because of the way Time Machine backups will use all the space available, and the fact that, as Neil says, you cannot partition the internal HD.
    Your best bet in that case would be to attach a USB hard drive to the Time Capsule; you can partition it if necessary. Back-up one or more Macs to the TC's internal HD or USB drive; and the PC(s) to one or more separate partitions on the USB drive.
    See the Using TIME MACHINE with a TIME CAPSULE *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    As noted in #Q3 there, there is a rather cumbersome way to reserve space on the TC's internal HD for things like the PC backups by putting a +disk image+ on it, but connecting a USB drive will be much easier.

  • Can I have many image backups on windows 8.1?

    I am using the image backup feature in windows 8.1 to create a
    backup of my system. However. If I try to create a new one, the first
    one is overwritten. So i create a new one, rename it and create a second
    one. However, when I want to restore an image, I have only one image
    avaiable, the image that is not renamed.
    So my doubt is, can I have multiple images on windows 8.1?
    thank so much.

    Hi ComptonAlvaro,
    As the Wbadmin start recovery command deprecate from Windows 8.1, so there is no other way to get multiple versions of system image back. Although
    WbAdmin start backup still works.
    See the picture:
    Here is the workaround for this scenario:

  • Can We have multiple SLEDs maintained in a single Batch

    Hi all
    Can we have multiple SLEDs maintained within a single batch. This SLED would be maintained at Quant level. One batch will have multiple quants and would be maintained in separate bins. However in LX27 i should see both the SLED for the same batch.
    Please Help
    Thanks & Regards
    Jajati

    My sources tell me that batch management is not a part of Retail but of logistics and unfortunately I am not able to move your post to a better thread. However, I suggest you please do a search of all forums using "batch management" as your search criteria.You'll see loads of hits. You might find your answer there or a better place to post your question.

  • Can you have multiple contact forms in a single Muse site?

    I have a site created in Muse that needs to use multiple contact forms of a sort.  One is a simple contact form.  Two others are sign up forms. In two of the three forms I have to separate the First and Last names.  Also in those there are multiple Custom fields and Message fields.
    The original simple contact form is working fine and has been.  However, I modified one of the pages by adding a second form, the first of the two sign-up forms.  It looked great in Muse, but when uploaded to the site, all of the fields were gone, leaving only the Labels in a single paragraph.
    Does this mean I can't have multiple contact forms in a single site?  If I actually, can, then what might have caused the problem?  And what could you suggest for me to try to fix it?
    Thank you,
    Laura

    Thank you for the information, but I cannot find anywhere in help where to find the field names (if that is my problem).  I changed all the labels and the corresponding text inside the field (remember, Muse does not give access to code as far as I can tell).  When I preview the page in a browser (using FireFox as default, but also tried with IE), everything looks good.  When I export to html and open the index.html on my computer, everything still looks great.  But when I FTP the page to the website, this is what I get:
    First Name:RequiredRescuer Email:RequiredOrganization (if any):RequiredSubmitting Form...The server encountered an error.Form received.Geographic Areas Covered:RequiredRescuer Cell Phone:RequiredRescuer Home Phone:RequiredRescuer Home Address:

  • Can I have multiple TFS instances use a single SSRS installation

    Can I have multiple TFS instances use a single SSRS installation?
    Thanks

    Hi Kim,
    According to your description, you have multiple TFS instances using one Reporting Services instance. Right?
    For installing TFS, to use a named instance with Team Foundation Server, you must install SQL Server by using a named instance, or move or restore Team Foundation Server data to a named instance, or create a team project collection on a named instance. Please
    refer to the link below:
    Work with SQL Server Named Instances
    Reference:
    Understanding SQL Server and SQL Server Reporting Services
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Can we have multiple database audit specification on a single server audit ?

    Hi,
    We are having a 2 node Sql Clustered instance of SqlServer 2008 R2 Enterprise running
    on windows server 2008 R2. We have about 88 databases in the instance.
    Our servers run on Intel Xeon(R) CPU X5670 @2.94 GHz with 6 cores(12 logical processor).
    The servers are having 12GB of RAM.
    We are planning to introduce database level audit to find if there is any activity on
    some of our databases. These databases are not growing in size and there is a request
    from the application team to ascertain whether the endusers are accessing the database
    over a period of time. In this context I have 2 queries-:
    1)Can we have multiple database audit specification on a single server audit ie can we
    audit multiple databases to find out the user activity on those databases at a time? Or
    should we a separate server audit for each database audit specification?
    2)We plan to have the target of the audit on a file on the same shared volume(lun) where
    the MDF file and LDF files are located(in EMC storage) and in this context what performance
    monitor counters should we watch to ascertain whether there is any performance degradation
    due to introduction of server audit.
    Thanking you in advance
    Binny Mathew.

    As Auditn  is at the SQL Server instance level. You can have multiple audits per SQL Server instance.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280386.aspx
    Database Audit Specification
    The Database Audit Specification object also belongs to a SQL Server audit. You can create one database audit specification per SQL Server database per audit.
    The database audit specification collects database-level audit actions raised by the Extended Events feature. You can add either audit action groups or audit events to a database audit specification. Audit events are
    the atomic actions that can be audited by the SQL Server engine. Audit action groups are predefined groups of actions. Both are at the SQL Server database scope. These actions are sent to the audit, which records
    them in the target. Do not include server-scoped objects, such as the system views, in a user database audit specification.
    Database-level audit action groups and audit actions are described in the topic SQL Server Audit Action Groups and Actions.
    You can also consider using a Profiler trace file to capture the events.

  • How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)?

    How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)? Currently each of us has our own iTunes account, so I've made an "all office" Apple ID. However, I can't seem to get two different accounts (my personal and the office) to work on my machine. Even when I login as "the office", my personal library is still showing. Additionally, when I try to setup with a first-time use in iTunes, I get an error that I don't meet the minimum age requirement - no matter what birthdate I enter!

    The library exists regardless of which user is logged in.
    The only way around that is to create different user accounts on the computer.
    There is no way to have 20 unique iTunes users access a shared iTunes under a single login on the computer.

  • Can there be multiple ASM instances on single node?

    ...that document doesnt say you cannot have multiple ASM instances on a node. It says "...ASM, +you only need one ASM+ instance for that computer, to manage the two database instances that use ASM."
    The fact that you only need one - and I cannot think of a good reason to have more than one - does not preclude the fact that you do seem to be able to have multiple ASM instances on a single node, each looking after its own set of disks and diskgroups.
    Again - I cannot think of a good reason to do so though!

  • HT4436 can I have multiple icloud accounts on one device

    can I have multiple icoud accounts on one device (ipad)?

    Are you sure only primary account can use Find my iPhone?
    I added a secondary account to my daughters iphone and was able to use it for Find my iPhone.
    It warns you that the Find my iphone service will be disabled on the other icloud account.
    I think this is a good change so I can use a single account to track all the devices.
    Looks like only photostream and documents/data are tied to the primary account.

    i don't find  a tutorial in adobe tv....
    thanks !!

    The short answer is that you'll put the source clip(s) for each inset on a different video track, all stacked up. Then use the Scale and Position effects (under "Motion" on the Effect Controls panel) to reduce their size and place them where you want.
    If the content of an inset will involve edited content (where you're cutting among various clips or just trimming out unwanted content from a single clip), then you'll probably find it easier to do all those edits in one sequence, then nest that sequence in the master sequence, where you apply the Scale and Positioning effects. That will save the step of applying the scale and position effects to each edited track item.
