Help: Recovery Image (restore)

I recently had to restore my Windows 8 system due to the repair cycle going into a loop. I had the computer create a backup image on DVDs to restore later. The computer said there would be 11 discs needed, but it only used 10. I assumed this was some bug and did not think anything of it at the time.
Once the system was up, I began installing the DVDs. Discs 1-3 went perfectly. When I entered Disc 4, it did not reconze it as Disc 4. I looked and the computer read it as Disc 5. I checked all my other discs, and none of them show as Disc 4. The final disc shows as Disc 11.
Without DIsc 4, the rest of the image cannot be restored by my system. Does anyone know of a way to either trick the computer into renumbering the discs or a way I can read each WIM file individually and extract the informaion the long way?
Thanks.

What is the make and model of your computer?
Sounds like the recovery disk creation you made was sour and you may need to order HP recovery disks.
Repeatedly tap the F11 key at boot to see if you can get into recovery manager to perform your factory restore.

i have done a recovery mode restore and my i phone 3gs still wont activate????? can any 1 help pls

90+% of the phones sold on ebay are hacked or jailbroken. The symptom you describe is typical of a hacked or jailbroken phone that was updated or restored. It has either been re-locked to the original carrier, or the damage done by the hack is now preventing it from activating at all.
It may or may not be fixable, but you can not get help with it here. There is a good chance it will never be able to activate.
There is a very slim possibility that the activation servers are simply overloaded by all the new iPhones given as Christmas gifts, but my money is on a hacked, now bricked phone.

HT201210 recovery mode / restore loop - HELP!

Hi,
My iphone settings advised me of an update this morning, I updated the iphone as prompted.
Now my iphone 4s is stuck in a recovery mode / restore loop and I am unable to go into DFU mode as the power button is not responding...
I have tried about 20 times today to restore my iphone but it stops after a few minutes saying the network timed out... I have tried this on 4 different computers and get the same message each time.
I need my phone for work so its really frustrating.
The 4th computer is not even recognising the iphone as a device.
Any ideas?

Maybe you'd like to tell us what the error was, exactly?

System image restore new hard drive

Hard drive failed. Brought new one and are trying to do a system image restore. Boot using Win 7 repair disk. Start image recovery. Runs for a min or two and give me the following error.
Windows back up failed to extend or mount the file system on the recovered volume. (0x80780124) , I don't have win 7 disk as it did not come with the computer, I did create a repair disk and several system images as back up but am now stuck.

I feel your pain, I went through several installs of a Samsung SSD. First SSD died within several months, the second one did too (refurbished btw, Samsung won't give ya a new one) and had to do it again. Myself I keep debating whether to worry over the data I have and just do a complete clean install each time. This last go round I did a 'clone' of the HP provided OS with all the bloatware and junk on it and since have found that there is a way to do a windows only install using ABR(autobackupand restore)utility that'll record all your proprietery data like COA key so when you do an install you won't have to keep verifying it every 90 days...BTDT. Found that one on this forum as a good way to do an OS install and keep the original code applied to the new install.
All the really important (to me) stuff I keep on an external hdd or big thumb drive, speaking of which theres a 64 gb 3.0 usb on Amazon for under 30 bucks including shipping, ya can't beat that. All my games and stuff I have on seperate HDDs with none of that RAID business.
Found out the hard way in order to use the HP recovery discs the pc has to be put back in its original form. I had put in another drive (solid state) and a better graphics card and better RAM sticks only to find that I had to go back and put all that out of the box stuff back in to get the discs to work....they were giving me red alerts in Command Prompts or CMD. I had never seen Red CMD it was one of those **bleep** moments, spending half a day googling led to to someone who had been there and done that (btdt) HP won't let you put their OS on another Hard Drive which I think is stupid..the disc knows if the drive is different therefore the bright red CMD window that blinks in your face and doesn't have the courtesy to tell you to change equipment.Oh well time to quit blathering.

Windows Backup fails to complete and System shows 29 Restore Points all titled "System Image restore point" but none will work.

Problems both seemed to appear about the same time and may be related.
Had backups on an external drive prior to the problem and appeared to be working. I have since cleaned the external drive in an attempt to start a new backup series but it continues to stop and report backup has failed.
The System restore was working fine and one day it had changed all the existing Restore Points to "System Image restore point"
but still showed all the different dates. In the System Properties window it indicates that there are 0 bytes in "current usages",
which I assume they are all empty but I can't create any new ones. I get Error code 0x80042308.
I have tried the Clean Boot with no results. I use MS Security Essentials for virus protection.
I have no other symptoms or problems on the PC.
About ready for a Recovery and start all over.

Hi,
Your first step should be to run chkdsk /r /f on all the drives in that computer. Shadow copy errors are often caused by disk problems (usually minor) which chkdsk will find and correct.
Also, this issue can be caused that VSS dlls are corrupted.
Re-install the VSS dlls by following these steps:
a. Using command prompt, CD to the WINDOWS\system32 directory
b. Stop the Volume Shadow Copy service by executing the command "net stop vss"
c. Register the following DLLs and services by executing these commands:
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
Vssvc /Register
regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
regsvr32 es.dll
regsvr32 stdprov.dll
regsvr32 vssui.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
Hope these could be helpful.

System image restore process failed - WSE2012

I need some help. My system drive failed and I'm forced to attempt a recovery using the server backup located on my backup volume. Using a bootable USB stick, I successfully boot in to the installation media, navigate to the repair screen, and select System
Restore. The software attempts to find a suitable backup, which it does and recommends the backup dated 2/5/2013 (about a week ago). I click NEXT, select the EXCLUDE drives to exclude those drives that are part of my storage pool (I've also not selected anything
to exclude. Here's my selection:
Disk 4 - USB STICK w/Install Media
Disk 5 - NEW REPLACEMENT DRIVE (fresh)
Disk 6 - Storage Space
Disk 7 - Storage Space
It reports that Disk 3 is automatically excluded because it contains the backup. So far all this seems in order.
I proceed to click NEXT to get to the final recovery options page. In addition to the server name and date of the backup, I'm presented with the following:
\\?\Volume{824f6b2f-3b3a-11e2-93ed-806e6f6e6963}, C:
Upon clicking FINISH and receiving the warning that all drives will be reformatted and partitioned, I'm presented with a dialog box in about 5 seconds that states the following:
The system image restore failed
An error occurred while performing the recovery operation. Details (link)
Clicking the link presents me with another dialog box that shows various options for ensuring the drive is connected (which it is, Disk 5) and it asks that all USB drives are removed. However, if you remove the installation media, you can't continue anyway.
Here are my questions:
What on in the name of Microsoft is going on here -- has anyone run into this problem before? According to the instructions, this should be super easy. I've reviewed the following: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj593197.aspx
Should I disconnect the Storage Space drives all together, leaving the new system drive, the backup drive and the USB stick and try again?
Should I install a new copy of Windows Server (with storage drives unplugged) and then attempt to restore.
If the backup was corrupt, wouldn't I get a different error message?
What other options can I try?
I've already made a simple volume on the NEW drive as I read elsewhere that solved someone with a Windows 7 recovery that sounded the same. This did not work for me. I've tried to remove the USB drive, and then process complains and says it can't find the
path to the install media.
My server is headless and DVD-less, so USB is the only way I'm going to get this to install. I've also already tried moving my USB stick into just about every USB port available.
Finally, this is a Gigabyte UEFI motherboard.
Someone smarter than me please step up and show me the light! I can't believe the restore process is failing like this.

A brief update since my last post. I've left all the drives plugged in and decided to replace the bootable USB stick method with the tried-and-true external USB DVD drive. Upon boot, I again attempted the recovery option outlined before. However, this time,
I receive the following message:
Windows cannot restore a system image to a computer that has a different firmware. The system image was created on a computer using BIOS and this computer is using EFI.
I don't believe this is true, but to test the error, I proceeded to configure my BIOS for legacy BIOS support and turned OFF all UEFI support. I again booted to the system and proceeded to attempt the recovery option outlined before. This time, it appeared
to start working, but then resulted in the same exact error message I reported previously just a short 30 seconds later. I attribute this problem to the slower speed of the USB DVD drive.
I reconfigured my system again for UEFI and installed a fresh copy of the WSE2012. This seemed to go without any trouble. Once in the new instance of WSE2012, I attempted to recover from the original backup. At this time, I can only attempt to replace folders
and files and not the entire drive. Needless to say, the process did not complete correctly and I have a half baked of new and my original drive, complete with Dashboard plugins that don't work. The next thing I'm going to try is to install fresh again and
from within WSE2012 attempt to restore from the image again. However, I doubtful that the result will be positive. Stay tuned, more to come.

HP 7 Plus 1301 - Need recovery image of 1.1.3

Good morning,
I bought an HP 7 Plus 1301 last week, and unfortunately the file system is corrupt. It cannot load Android and I need to flash a recovery image.
Unfortunately the recovery image available on the HP website is version 1.0.9
When I attempt to flash the recovery, it fails on a check of the ro.build.date.utc less_than_int
This means it is checking if the recovery image is older than the version currently installed, which is 1.1.3
Can I please be sent a recovery image (update.zip) for 1.1.3 or later so that I can restore the software on the tablet?

Hi millab, welcome to the HP Forums. Unfortunately there are no other versions available of the recovery image.
You should be able to get passed the version comparison by doing a 'wipe data / factory reset'.
You can find the instructions under "Resetting when the tablet does not start" in this document: Performing a Factory Reset on Your Tablet (Android KitKat, Jelly Bean)

Satellite L300D - Recovery image needed

Hello
I am trying to restore my laptop to factory settings. It is a Toshiba Satellite L300D and it has recently become infected with the windows vista security 2011 virus.
It still works in safe mode, and safe mode with networking but I dont want to risk it any more. I tried years ago to make a recovery DVD but it never worked.
Now I tried to recover from the Hard drive but it said it cannot locate HDD 1 and recommended trying to remove numbers from the partition which is something I dont really understand.
Either way I cannot recover to factory settings.
Is there anything I can do to get my hands on a recovery image or sort this out. Any help welcome. Thank you

Recovery image is designed for specific notebook model.
Recovery image contains operating system, all necessary drivers for certain hardware platform and all other additional stuff like tools and utilities.
You can try to install this recovery image from your brother but I cannot say for sure it will work 100%. It can happen that OS loads and after few seconds blue screen will be shown.
Look, if you like your notebook and you want to use it sometime, pay this 30 euro for original recovery disc and problem is solved.
Other way I must say that this old L300D runs well with Windows 7 so maybe it would be good solution for you to install Win7 and have much better OS than old Vista. This is, of course, more expensive option.
At the end it is only your decision what to do.

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
Restore-to hard drive is also Seagate ST3500418AS.

"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:

Recovery Image on an External Hard Drive?

I was wondering if I could save a recovery image on my external hard drive?
It says to use a USB or Disc, but my computer doesn't have a CD drive, and I don't have a USB with a min of 19GB. What I do have are several 8GB, and less, and one 16GB, but these won't work for this. Nor do I have an external CD drive.
So I was wondering if I could use my external hard drive [It's got 2TB, but it's not empty...]?
I was just hoping for another option rather than buying a new USB... or external CD drive...

There is no way that I know of to trick Recovery Manager into using the external hdd.
Just an FYI- not all USB flash drives will work. We see many people posting about problems with creating the recovery. I just made mine and it failed to recognize a Sandisk 3.0 drive. Tried a PNY 3.0 and it worked smooth and fast.

Faulty Windows after 'successful' System Image restore to new hard drive.

This question posted as ' Cut down Win 7 after System Image restore to new HDD' in the community but no satisfactory answer. Please may I ask here.
Win reported a successful System Image creation of C: on my E: drive. C was replaced with a new 2TB drive (previously 1.5Tb) and the image restored. Win reported 'successful' restoration of C: immediately followed by the common 'You must restart
your computer to apply these changes...' which I assumed was just Win taking note of the new drive.
On running, everything seems fine at first but you start to notice faults. Most importantly Win doesn't seem to recognise itself. If you start some of the functions in control panel (eg System Manager) you get a message from User Account
Control 'Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?'.
Windows Live Mail won't work. You get a message 'Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing Windows Live Mail to close (0x8E5E0247).' I have never used the
calendar function so there shouldn't be any data there.
Browsing history in IE is there on very first opening but is immediately lost and never recovered. Favourites are intact but all login details are lost. All your internet feeds are lost. Message 'The feed download was interrupted.....'
Trying to create new feeds is unsuccessful.    When you try and download something the usual IE message 'Do you want to run or save ... ' comes up at the bottom of the screen but the buttons do not work so you cannot get any downloads.
Installed non-Windows applications do seem to run OK though I usually switch back to the original drive pretty quick.
2 x Dell Precision T5500 desktops, both reasonably high spec and more or less identical though one is nearly 3 years old and the other approaching 4. Both Win7 x64. The fault identical on both machines. I have had these drives in and out
so many times trying to solve this there is a real risk of damaging the disk or lead. Can anyone suggest what might be wrong or how Win could be fixed?? I assume 2Tb is ok. Is it normal to get a restart message after a 'Successful' image
restore message. I've tried cloning the drive as well but got exactly the same messages and faults. Next I was going to try creating the image after running something like EndItAll and then seeing if the image would restore more successfully
to a different 1.5Tb drive though I don't see this should make any difference. 'Clutching at straws' comes to mind.
Thanks.

Hello, thanks for your interest.
Yes, principally it's the Windows features which are faulty. It's not that they don't work at all (except for win live mail which gives that message about being forced to shutdown), rather that there are faulty features.
All of the functions in control panel, for example, work OK. But when you select them there is this message from user account control ' Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer'.   It
then goes on to give details the oddity being that the publisher is listed as 'Unknown'. This is the standard User Account Control dialogue but the strange thing is that it is not recognising the functions coming with windows.    If you
click yes it goes on to open device manager or whichever one it was that you wanted and the function works quite normally.
Non windows applications (including Microsoft Office) run normally without the user account control dialogue. The only oddity I noticed today was that one program seemed to have lost it's licencing information and gave a message that the
month trial period was up with an invitation to licence.
Today I tried to restore an image to a replacement 1.5TB disc. (i.e. the same size as the image was made from). The whole process went quite smoothly and Windows seemed to be working without the faults on the replacement drive.     So
having shown that the image must be OK I tried swapping the 1.5 drive for the 2Tb drive and repeating the restore from the same image.   Immediately on running, Windows gave me the message 'You must restart the computer to apply these changes....
(which it had not done for the 1.5Tb restoration) and all the old faults were back.   The message might be quite innocent and simply indicate that Windows is taking note or the different size drive but it seems to be associated with the arrival of
the faults. (The new drive is formatted as for the 1.5Tb with C: and Recovery partitions and the extra space left unallocated).
No, I have not tried Reinstalling Windows Live Mail yet. Today I was working on the newer machine and my mail is on the older one. It is odd that both machines show exactly the same problem. It must be something to do with the move to a different size disk.   I
guess I would have to reinstall IE as well as that was the other application that was really faulty.
Yes, that is the thread I tried in the community but I didn't get any solution.

Folio13 Windows 7 pro 64, system image, restore fails

I have (10) HP Folio13, running Windows 7 pro 64, I have used the Windows 7 system tools, to create a system image onto a USB 2.0 external Seagate harddrive. It created fine.. to test it I tried to restore the image onto a different HP Folio13.
I hooked up an external USB cd-rom/dvd reader/write to either USB ports, and the USB Seagate hard drive to the other free USB port, thats on the HP Folio13. and I'm using a Windows 7 system restore disc. If the USB cd/dvd write is hooked up to the USB port on the left hand side, it crashes stating it can't find the x:\sources\recovery\tools\hp recovery manager.exe this application has request the runtime to terminate it in an unsual way please contact the application support team for more infomation, if i shutdown and place the cd/dvd drive into the USB port on the right hand side. it works.. and boots correctly but can't find the Windows system image, that exists on the USB external harddrive. I know that the USB windows system image is valid.. I was able to restore it too a differnet HP laptop a 8560w.. with the same boot disk, but since the HP 8560w has a built in cd reader.. all works well. I have updated the BIOS to the lastest as of today (F.18) I have updated the USB drivers, I have tired using F11 on the HP Folio and tried to restore it from that, but what comes up, does not support a system image restore, F11 only works for system restores.. I need some aid.. I have a valid Windows 7 system image on a external USB 2.0 hard drive. I would like to restore it to a HP Folio13.

Hello canadianguy2,
Your Folio13 is a Business model. Your issue would be best answered on the HP Enterprise Business Community Forum
Good luck!

How to reinstall Windows 8 on Yoga 13 with damaged Recovery Image?

I changed the partitions on my Yoga 13. Now it is not possible to refresh, reinstall or perform an advance start-up, as it looks like there is no recovery image anymore. The systems is currently very messy and needs a reinstall.
Can someone tell me how to reinstall Windows 8 on the Yoga 13 when the recovery image is lost or damaged?

hi Chevex,
Thanks for using Lenovo Community Forums!
In the event that the Recovery partition is not working the only option is to use the Recovery CD that you can create when you first got the computer.
but if you were not able to create a Recovery CD and the Onekey Recovery is not working.
You can get the Recovery CD from the Software Department (Fees may apply to the discs)
you can contact the Hardware Team again and ask to be transferred to Software team for purchasing RCD

How to do frame by frame image restoration?

I have a short silent movie (a .mov file) that was created from an old 8mm original film. I can open the file with Premire Pro and can view it frame by frame. I was wondering if it is somehow possible to do a frame-by-frame restoration of this movie (such as eliminating random spots and occasional scratches), preferably with Photoshop (that has many nice image restoration tools) without losing any of the movie's original resolution? I would welcome any ideas on how this might be accomplished? Thanks.

felinedrive wrote:
Thanks so much Jim, Evil, and David -- you each had great suggestions that I think have put me on the right track. Although the approach of editing directly in Photoshop seems like the easiest (and therefore best) solution for me, I will also try the exporting, editing, and importing of the numbered stills approach with Premiere as well.
i've done both methods, and depending on what you need, one could work better....
i had a 7 second sequence that had several 3d rendered objects that intertwined.... i had to get rid of 1 of those objects, and so i exported that sequence as a tiff sequence and just went frame by frame in photoshop doing it. but i was doing every single frame.
another time i had a video that had like what you were talking about some roughness throughout but not constant. that time i followed david's advice and it was very quick and effecient for that particular sequence.... you may prefer his method better for this situation....
never worked with "film" yet, so i dunno if they have it available... but i wonder if there would be any plugins that may help remove like holes and whatnot? i dunno.... i do know that Photoshop CS5's content aware healing will proabbly do WONDERS to fix film holes and stuff.
