Entire system restore fails

Everytime I tried to do an ENTIRE SYSTEM RESTORE from TM it failed after a few seconds. I have formated the TM unit with 1 GUID partition as apple recommend and chose one of my internal hard drives as Time Machine unit. I'm just checking and comparing the TM usefulness for entire system restore matters.Can you help me, please?
Thanks in advance.

Then post or tell us something, like the last couple of dozen lines, or something >with a clue.
We're pretty good at figuring things out, but it's hard to pull something out of >thin air.
here is some log's lines:

CS3 won't start after system restore, fails to reinstall

I am running CS3 design premium on Windows 8. I've have the computer (Lenovo with Intel i5) for two months, though I used the design suite on my previous computer. I had to run System Restore to fix a problem with Firefox, and after I did none of my Adobe products worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled several times while following the Adobe Help page "error message at installation" guide. Each time I get the message that Acrobat installed correctly, and everything else "Component install failed." I also wiped everything Adobe off the program list (there were a few CC programs I had trialed, plus Flash Player and some plugins) ran the CC cleaner and still got the same error message. I even tried downloading the program files from Adobe in case there was a problem with my disk and that wasn't it either. I tried enabling FLEXnet and installing under a new user, each to no avail. Examining the log file found no instances of "Return value 3" and "FATAL." The search for "ERROR" found several items that I had either already tried or made no sense.
I ran the system restore again to an earlier point, and now I can't even uninstall anything. The CC cleaner tells me some files could not be cleaned, and I should close my browser and try again, but there are no browsers open. Restarted computer and tried again, same thing. It seems I've tried all the options.
Super frustrated.

System Restore Fails

Hello all,I recently tried to do a system restore on my PC, and it is not wanting to work. My troubles first began when I couldn't find my bluetooth adapter in my Device Manager. Thinking it was a driver issue, I downloaded a driver from Microsoft. I was later told that if I downloaded a driver that wasn't from HP, it could cause my adapter to fail. I think the issue with my bluetooth was some services that I had previously disabled to free up CPU (I hadn't needd to use bluetooth in months). However, when I re-enabled services, the bluetooth adapter is still no where to be found. I tried uninstalling the newly installed driver, but no luck.
Given the current situation, I thought it would be best to restore my system back to before I messed with all the bluetooth drivers, etc. This is when the real problem has set in. I open system restore, choose a restore date, and system restore initializes. Ater going to the system restore page (default windows back ground and restore status) the computer reboots and gives me the following error:
The confusing part is that I am not currently running any antivirus. I have tried various restore dates, performing it in safe mode, perorming it from the "Repair Windows" menu, all with the same result. Has anyone ever encounted this issue before or know how to resolve it? Thanks,DH

Hi, The free version of Malwarebytes is on-demand only and shouldn't have any affect on System Restore, however the paid version will use realtime scanning, so it may well be worth temporarily disabling this. If you're using the free version of Malwarebytes, it may be worth checking if the previous McAfee instalation has been completely removed - a link to the McAfee Consumer Product Removal Tool can be found on the following link. https://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS101331 Regards, DP-K

Windows 8 System Restore Fail

Laptop: Lenovo Ideapad S210
The initial OS of my laptop is Windows 8 then I decided to upgrade it to Windows 8.1. The problem is every time I open an app from Windows it crasher. Heck, I can't even open the Windows Store or PC Settings!! So I decided to restore it from my backup with
an WSI file using the Lenovo Onekey Recovery Tool. However, as the recovery is in progress, the power went off!! Now I have a bricked Laptop. I can still go into the BIOS. I enabled the Legacy support and I tried to boot Windows 8 from USB flashdrive to try
to reformat. The boot was successful but I can't install the WIndows 8, I can't refresh or reset my PC either.
I tried one of the tutorials in a forum
http://www.techsupportalert.com/freeware-forum/system/12932-fixing-boot-problem-in-windows-8-1-a.html
but I'm not quite sure about what options to do. I tried the bootrec /Rebuildbcd but it says "the requested system device cannot be found"
HELP PLEASE!!

Hi,
How about your propblem now? I'm agree with britishdhez's opinion, it would be better to make system reset using OEM built in recovery disc. Contact Lenove would be more effective.
If you need any further help, you can also let us know.

System restore. failed driver install

Was having issues with the laptop so decided to do a full factory reset using the built in windows HP recovery. This failed so then used the recovery discs provided and worked to a point.
Formats OK, copies files OK, asks for the driver discs and does that (appears so) OK. Reboots and installs windows then HP software and drivers. What seems to be forever system reboots and then tells me its failed due to no drivers.
I have attempted this now 4/times with same result. These discs were provided by HP as my drive failed previously so should be the correct discs. This is the only HP machine and the only HP discs I have ever had.
Currently the machine is useless, unable to do anything. No way to get to desktop to manually install drivers after. Very annoying to say the least

Test the hard drive and memory modules, run the extended and quick tests, post back any errors or messages

No archive available on entire system restore

I've had some start up problems on my iMac and Disk Warrior also reported that I should immediately back up and re-format the hard drive.
I've been keeping regular time machine back ups, so no problem, I'll just insert my OSX installer, reformat and then restore the TM archive.
On choosing the restore option however, my TM back up is not seen in the window and it just shows "searching for time machine back ups". A search of this phrase and problem only throws up one hit and it doesn't match my findings.
The TM archive HDD shows up in disk utility and I've tried FW 400, 800 and USB connections but it just refuses to be seen.
Am I reduced to a slash and burn install, hoping that the TM backup will be visible when I get to the transfer information stage of the install?
Help appreciated.

er, I'm extremely embarrassed to admit that I selected the wrong drive for my back up! Doesn't help having 3 identical LaCie Quadra's.
I've now successfully reinstalled!
Doh...

Restoring Entire System with Time Capsule

Hello,
I configured my Time Capsule with custom user accounts (AirPort Utility -> Disks -> File Sharing -> Secure Shared Disks: with Accounts). I think this may be causing a problem with selecting a backup source for an entire system restore to a re-formatted disk.
I am trying to follow the steps detailed in item #14 of this forum's FAQ but not having luck. I get to step "e" and on the "Select a Backup Source" dialog I am presented with the correct ("volume" on network "time_capsule") option. The "Continue" button is disabled and the "Connect to remote disk" button brings up a logon dialog with "System Administrator" pre-populated as the user. It does not accept the password I assigned to the Time Capsule, so I type the custom user name and password and it seems to authenticate successfully but then drops me back to the "Select a Backup Source" with the "Continue" button still disabled.
So my problem is that I can't locate the Time Machine backup. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mickey

That's probably right. You're more likely to find someone who knows how to deal with that in the +Time Capsule+ forum, hiding in the +Digital Life+ section, at: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1253

SFC and System Restore errors on Surface Pro 3 running Win 8.1

Yesterday evening, my boss sent me an email complaining about problems mapping network drives (Server 2008r2) and connecting to the office LAN after setting up offline files. He tried troubleshooting to no avail. I suggested SFC.exe and/or a systems
restore. However neither one worked.
System restore failed to extract file C:\Users\...\local\Packages\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8v from the restore point.
Unspecified error (0x8007045b)
SFC.exe /scannow does report that it found errors, but could not fix them. I have a CBS.log file that I could post somewhere...
All this on a Surface Pro 3 running Windows 8.1

Stumped here. System restore reports same

Problem system restoring my hp laptop

i wanted to system restore my laptop and i didnt back up my files, now its saying that the syetem restored failed. i keep retrying and nothing works. i put the laptop in safe mode then sytem restored it and still nothing. keeps saying restore failed. please help.

Hi @matthewr4891 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Notebook and errors when try to do a system restore. When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices as these could cause system restore to fail.
If that does not help try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens.You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
Here is a document on system restore issues for Windows 7. Here is a document for Windows 8.
Each of these documents have what to do when system restore fails.
I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please include which Windows version you are using.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Metro fails completely after system restore - can no longer access either Metro or Metro Apps

Following a system restore, Metro no longer works - The windows button on the keyboard does nothing and clicking the start icon doesn't do anything either. Attempting to start Metro Apps results in failure - they cannot display on the screen and I see the
outline flash up briefly, then the app crashes. All non-metro programs work fine and aside from Metro, there are no problems.
How can I re-install Metro or solve the issue? This seems a pretty major failure in the preview - If Metro fails it causes major disruption - kind of like it used to be when explorer.exe failed. No menus, no access to system functions - updates etc.
Any suggestions? How can I re-install ( or fix ) Metro without having to scrap the entire OS and rebuild from scratch?
I thought the store beta not working was a major problem, but it's nothing compared to this.
Rolling back the system restore, or choosing another restore point does not correct the problem -
Thanks
David

Hi,
Are you using the built-in administrator account? Have you tried to create another user account then check whether the issue persists?
You can follow the steps below to troubleshoot this issue:
Run wsreset.exe to clear the Windows store cache.
Re-register the Windows store apps by the following guide (also applies to Windows 10 Technical Preview):
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/notime/archive/2013/10/18/fix-store-app-in-windows-8-1.aspx
If you're using the built-in administrator, then please navigate to control panel\Administrative Tools\Local security policy\Local policies\Security Options\User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for Built-in Administrator account, enable this option,
then run gpupdate /force to update the policy, logout then login again to check the result.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help, and unmark the answers if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected]

Restoring Entire System to Earlier Backup with Leopard CPU Drop-in DVD

After some programs failed in a pernicious manner, I decided to return the entire system to a Time Machine backup made earlier today. Time Machine Help "Recovering your Entire system" seems to be the only relevant help. It says to choose Utilities > Restore System from my Mac OS X Install disc. But I was shipped two Tiger Mac OS X Install Discs and a Leopard CPU Drop-in DVD (updates to Leopard). The Leopard Drop-in does not have Utilities > Restore System and I am reluctant to use either Tiger disc to restore my Leopard system.
What should I be doing? I hope the answer provides a restore process that is relatively quick because the changes are relatively small.

Butterflie14,
The term "delta" doesn't really apply to Time Machine backups. Each backup is a complete "snapshot" of the entire installation. In order to do this without copying over huge amounts of data, Time Machine uses "multi-linked" files in the various backups, all pointing to the same data. That is, with the exception of any new/changed files; these represent the only real data that is transferred during each backup. Only in this sense does "delta" apply.
Restoring from a backup, at least in the context of "going back to a previous state," is an all-or-nothing proposition. That doesn't mean it has to take a long time. First, the process of erasing a drive takes mere seconds. Second, a Time Machine "Restore" doesn't include a new installation of OS X from the installer disk (which would take a long time), but rather a restoration of the entire system from the backup. As such, it is dependent entirely on the speed of the drive and connecting bus (FW 400, 800, USB, etc.). In the case of my FW 800 drive, a complete "Restore" of a 50 GB system took about 30 minutes.
I agree, to take this step seems like a waste just to recover from some "pernicious" action of a particular application. If you were a bit more specific about what application we're talking about, and just what it did, perhaps I could offer better advice. You can restore anything that has been backed up by Time Machine, but may have been deleted from your internal disk in the meantime, but you cannot really "un-modify" OS X, if that is what has happened. To do so, you must perform a complete "Restore."

System Image Restore Fails "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found"

Greetings
                                    - Our critical server image backup Fails on one
server -
Two 2008 R2 servers. Both do a nightly "Windows Server Backup" of Bare Metal Recovery, System State, C:, System Reserved partition, to another storage hard drive on the same machine as the source. Active Directory is on the C: The much larger D: data
partition on each source hard drive is not included.
Test recovery by disconnecting 500G System drive, booting from 2008R2 Install DVD, recovering to a new 500G SATA hard drive.
Server A good.
Server B fails. It finds the backed-up image, & then we can select the date we want. As soon as the image restore is beginning and the timeline appears, it bombs with "The system image restore failed. No disk that can be used for recovering the system
disk can be found." There is a wordy Details message but none of it seems relevant (we are not using USB etc).
At some point after this, in one (or two?) of the scenarios below, (I forget exactly where) we also got :
"The system image restore failed. (0x80042403)"
The destination drive is Not "Excluded".
Used   diskpart clean   to remove volumes from destination drive. Recovery still errored.
Tried a second restore-to drive, same make/model Seagate ST3500418AS, fails.
Tried the earliest dated B image rather than the most recent, fail.
The Server B backups show as "Success" each night.
Copied image from B to the same storage drive on A where the A backup image is kept, and used the A hardware to attempt restore. Now only the latest backup date is available (as would occur normally if we had originally saved the backup to a network location).
Restore still fails.         It looks like its to do with the image rather than with the hardware.
Tried unticking "automatically check and update disk error info", still fail.
Server A SRP 100MB C: 50.6GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
Server B SRP 100MB C: 102GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off

"If your destination disk has a lower capacity than the source disk, you need to go into the disk manager and shrink each partition on the source disk before restoring." Doesnt apply here.
http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=439&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=4
for 0x80042403 says "The solution is really quite simple: the destination drive is of a lower capacity than the image's source drive." I cant see that here.
Thank you so much.

Hello,
1. While recovering the OS to the new Hard disk, please don't keep the original boot disk attached to the System. There is a Disk signature for each hard disk. The signature will collide if the original boot disk signature is assigned to the new disk.
You may attach the older disk after recovering the OS. If you want to recover data to the older disk then they should be attached as they were during backup.
2. Make sure that the new boot disk is attached as the First Boot disk in hardware (IDE/SATA port 0/master) and is the first disk in boot order priority.
3. In Windows Recovery Env (WinRE) check the Boot disk using: Cmd prompt -> Diskpart.exe -> Select Disk = System. This will show the disk where OS restore will be attempted. If the disk is different than the intended 2 TB disk then swap the disks in
correct order in the hardware.
4. Please make sure that the OS is always recovered to the System disk. (Due to an issue: BMR might recover the OS to some other disk if System disk is small in size. Here the OS won't boot. If you belive this is the case, then you should attach the
bigger sized disk as System disk and/or exclude other disks from recovery). Disk exclusion is provided in System Image Restore/Complete PC Restore UI/cmdline.
5. Make sure that Number and Size of disks during restore match the backup config. Apart from boot volumes, some other volumes are also considered critical if there are services/roles installed on them. These disks will be marked critical for recovery and
should be present with minimum size requirement.
6. Some other requirements are discussed in following newsgroup threads:

Yoga 13 System Image Restore Fails Due To Excluded Disk

Hello:
I am trying to execute a restore from a system image disc created shortly after I installed my principal programs without destroying the OKR partition or files. However, I do not want to go all the way back to factory condition at this time. The issue is that when I attempt to follow the reimage instructions in win 8.1, I am presented with a dialog box that has two check boxes. The first asks "Format and repartition disk" and the second asks "only restore system drives".
Based on everything I've read about preserving the C:/ and D:/ drive partitions, I would have expected to check the second box and not the first. But the system will not let me make this choice. Instead, the first box is automatically checked, and greyed out, with a second dialogue asking me if there are any disks I want to exclude from repartitioning. When following this second dialogue I am asked if I want to exclude Disk 0 (Samsung MZMTD128HAfV -00l1) which has 119Gb of capacity. If I try to exclude this disk, the operation fails with following error: "Restore failed because a disk that was critical at backup is excluded" My question is, if I do not exclude this disk, will the restore operation still leave the D:/ partition intact so I can use OKR in the future.
I have read quite a bit of imformation here and elsewhere about restoring system images and OKR, but have not seen any discussion about this disalogue, or the fact that I am being forced to reformat and repartition the disk without excluding the d:/ drive. Other posters have stated that retsoringa system image will only restore C;? drive, but this dialogue seems to conflict with those statements. Anyone else have any experience with this operation?
Thank you,

My IPhone is set up with an internet downloaded firmware of ios7 because my phone would not restore, the system has failed and I had to do a manual erase fro within the phone. My computer will not accept the phone because they say it's a "Developer?"

My IPhone is set up with an internet downloaded firmware of ios7 because my phone would not restore, the system has failed and I had to do a manual erase fro within the phone. My computer will not accept the phone because they say it's a "Developer?" Help. I cannot not even get passed the activation step on the computer or phone because it will not activate the device.

Hello buddyacw
You would have to restore the iPhone. Download the latest version of iTunes and then follow the steps in the article below to get it working again.

Restoring entire system from a backup

For future use, I am interested in restoring my entire system, but I am confused with the following directions:
"With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Recovery system (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility"
My mac book pro did not come with a Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc, so I'm not sure how to go about restoring my entire system. What is a Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc?

That is the Snow Leopard installation disk used on older MBPs. It does not apply to a MBP that came with Mt. Lion installed such as yours.
Ciao.
