Can I use the Disk Utility Application to backup bootcamp windows 7?

Can I use the Disk Utility Application to backup Bootcamp that has Windows 7 on it?  If I install a new blank drive, I would like to know that using Time Machine I can get the MAC OS back and using the Disk Image Utility I can restore Bootcamp with Windows 7.

NO.
You have to use Windows or a Windows utility.
There are programs that will clone an entire drive (sector) as well.
DU does not though. Paragon does support Boot Camp.

  • I am trying to upgrade my hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive.  I can only get so far, just before cloning may start and receive an "error 254" and can go no further.  Any idea what this error is?

    I am trying to upgrad the hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive.  I can only get so far throughj the process where its about to start cloing when I get a message " error 254".  Any idea what that means and how do I get around this issue so I can use my new hard drive?  Thanks for your input.

    Connect the HDD to your MBP.  Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field.  The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Click on the Erase button.
    Then try the clone process again.  You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

    Please locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. Hard to see.....gray lettering on a white background....so you may likely need a magnifying glass and good lighting to see it.
    The model number starts with a "A" followed by four numbers. If you see A1084 or A1088, unfortunately AirPort Utility 6.x in Mavericks OS X (10.9.4) does not support these older models. However, you can still administer these models if you have a Mac.....or can borrow one for a few minutes....using Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with AirPort Utility installed on the device.

  • Anyone clean their mac using the disk utility using the repair disk permissions??

    anyone clean their mac using the disk utility using the repair disk permissions??

    No. Threads don't hurt anything. If your computer is not functioning properly perhaps you need to try some basic maintenance. Let's start by having you do this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Next, try booting into Safe Mode then immediately restart normally. Safe mode is going to take a while so be patient. It's slow.
    Next, create a new user account. Log out of your account then log into the new account. Try using iPhoto and the publishing button. Do they work now?
    If you still have a problem, then do the following. If you don't want to go through the above then just start with the following and forget the others above.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • HT1338 I erased my Time Capsule HD using the Disk Utility on my Vista computer

    I erased my Time Capsule HD using the Disk Utility on my Vista computer and I now can not see my TC in my computer. I tried to remap it by right clicking my computer and selecting remap drive, but after selecting Z drive I cannot find TC in browser. Not sure if I did something wrong but it was working fine before I erased it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    To erase the OSX on your harddisk you have to boot your Mac from the OSx Install DVD that came with your Mac.
    You can't erase the OSx from which your Mac is booted.

  • Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
    Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
    Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
    You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you?  If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
    Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
    In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

  • The error that I am getting is this "Time Machine can't use the disk image because it can't be written to."  Any ideas on the fix for this?

    The error that I am getting is this "Time Machine can't use the disk image because it can't be written to."  Any ideas on the fix for this?  When I go to the Time Capsule my Macbook Pro shows that it is locked, I think I did something wrong, but can't figure how to unlock it to see if that fixes it.

    As far as we know, Time Machine cannot write to a disk image. It needs to write directly to the Time Capsule disk.

    I just started getting the same message.  I'm using a Western Digital My Book 3TB disk.  Normally I have the backups done with the disk attached to Airport Extreme.
    I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is unreliable and not supported by Apple.   See:  Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk.
    Backup failed with error: The target disk image volume is read-only.
    Most likely, you got this message before all this started:
    What that doesn't explicity say is, the backups failed the verification.  When that happens, Time Machine marks the sparse bundle as damaged and won't back up to it anymore (even if Repair Disk can't find the problem).  See #C13 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details.

  • Can I use the third party software to backup my system?

     I have bought a new Thinkpad, and I just want to backup my system, but Lenovo Onekey recovery is not easy to use. I confess that it is very concise and powerful. But, I have to say some disadvantage, that is, It need to press the button and shut all computer. I want to backup my computer silently, and the process won't affect my other operation. I have searched a software- AOMEI Onekey Recovery, but it is the third party software, should I use it to backup my system. there seems to be more powerful in their page http://www.backup-utility.com/onekey-recovery.html, how should I determine? could anyone tell me the advantage or disadvantage?

  • Can I use the disk on my time machine 2TB to store data from iPhoto.  I want to take 250 GB and make it a disk

    I have a time machine 2TB that is backing up my system.  Attached to the time machine is a 1T apple drive.  I would like to move the iPhoto file from my MacBook Air laptop to the time machine and use some of the disk as a storage area.  I plan to keep a backup on the secondary disk that is attached to the time machine is this possible? How do I make another partition on the time machine to handle my iPhotos.

    Actually, it is possible to partition a Time Capsule, but it is not a practical procedure for most users, so that is likely what Kappy meant when he said that you cannot do this.
    Consider that in order to partition the Time Capsule hard drive you must.......
    o  Pull the drive from the Time Capsule (which voids the warranty)
    o  Install the hard drive in a separate SATA to USB caddy or enclosure
    o  Connect the caddy directly to your Mac to perform the partition procedure
    o  Reinstall the drive back in the Time Capsule
    o  Check to see if things work
    In addition, the experts in the iPhoto support forum strongly recommend that you do NOT try to use the Time Capsule to store your working iPhoto Library. Apple warns against this as well in support documents.
    Instead, as Kappy notes, the recommend solution would be to add a USB or Thunderbolt hard drive directly to your MacBook Air to store the iPhoto Library.

  • How can I use the setup utility with my gaming adapter?

    How can I use this program (the cd that came with my netgear wireless game adapter) to setup my gaming adapter? I want to configure my gaming adapter but it seems like i cannot do so? How can I achieve this?

    Hi again,
    thought a bit about this...
    This thing looks to me like a special sort of wireless router with one ethernet port, which also is a bit old I guess.
    With nowadays wireless router, the configuration usually is made using a Web-Browser like Safari or Firefox and accessing the router through a built-in webpage.
    The IP adress of the router is also usually 192.168.0.1.
    Have a look inside the Netgear-Documentation, to see if this also possible here.
