  • How to recover data from .bkf files made when os was XP Proffesional into the system when it is windows7

    Hello Sir/Madam,
    Previously I was using Microsoft Wndows XP Professional,with version: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600.
    I took .bkf files by using the Backup utility (i.e. Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools and then click Backup)
    And paste it to my external hard disk.
    Then I used OS :Microsoft Windows 7 Professional(Version 6.1.7600 Build 7600).I formated my system deleted all the partitions and created new partions and installed Windows 7.
    Now I have the .bfk files in my external hard disk and I want to recover my data from that .bfk files made from xp-sp3 pc to windows 7.
    Plz help me.....
    I downloaded Windows NT Backup - Restore Utility and tried to install NtBackupRestore_x86.msi .But it will not installed in Windows 7 with a message that this requires Removable Storage Management. Since RSM is not included in Windows 7 how does
    one access old Backups from Windows XP?
    Will the NtBackupRestore program be updated to be compatible with Windows 7? plz help................................

    Yes, you need to first install Removable Storage Management software before installing NT-Backup.exe in Windows 7. To know more about restoring backup file, you can read this post: http://belanalavade.blog.com/2014/04/15/how-to-repair-damaged-bkf-file/
    Berdooook
    No.  You do not need to install Removable Storage Management in Windows 7 to read NT backups!
    You go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974674 and download the package for Windows 7 that Microsoft has published specifically for this!

  • How to restore Windows 8 from a recovery USB on a tablet w/o physical keyboard?

    I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad tablet that came with Windows 8 Pro:
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?DocID=PD026486
    The first thing that I usually do is create a recovery disc. This time I was able to create a recovery USB drive. But then I thought of something -- how would I recover from it?
    I asked at the Lenovo community site and people told me to connect a USB keyboard and press Fn + F12 during booting. The issue is that, first, I do not have a physical keyboard for it. Do I really need to pay $50+ just to boot from a USB drive? And
    secondly, even if I got a physical keyboard this tablet has only one mini USB port so if I use it up to connect a USB keyboard, how would I connect the USB flash drive?
    So can someone clarify this for me? Again, all I need to know is how to restore from a recovery USB drive.

    Hello Again Zubedi35!
            Ok, I think I have it covered. First, you need a key to be able to proceed with the installation process. When you get a key, go online and download the windows 8 usb installer to be able to install a properly formatted
    installation of windows 8 to your usb drive; make sure you use a windows 7 or windows 8 computer to format and install windows 8 to your usb- very important! Once you have windows 8 installed to your usb drive, all you need is the key and the installation
    process on your pc will be a cinch. But before you get ready to do the installation of windows 8 to your desired computer, first you must do one thing- reformat your hard drive again. Since you said you have another computer (preferably a desktop), you may
    place the hard drive from your laptop that you are trying to install windows 8 on and place that hard drive into the other computer- but you will need an external device to place the hard drive in to be able to reformat it if you don't have a desktop computer
    with an extra bay (slot to put an extra hard drive into) to place the hard drive in and perform the reformatting. I would try to find someone with a desktop that has an extra bay to place that hard drive in and reformat it (it must be a computer with a windows
    7 or 8 operating system on it so that you may be able to see the drive and perform the reformatting process. If you choose to do this, you must turn the desktop computer off and open the side of the computer then connect the hard drive to the sata connectors
    of the open bay. Then, turn the computer back on and go to 'My Computer' (on windows 7 computer) or click the little folder (File Explorer) on the taskbar and look in 'Devices and Drives' and the hard drive should show up next to the main drive (Local
    Disk C:). Formatting your hard drive is just like formatting your usb- just uses a different method of connecting. Try and purchase an external USB Disk Drive to install windows 8 to your pc from a CD if you choose not to go through this process of installation
    by usb. I hope this helps and please notify me if you have any other questions or if you need help through the installation process- enjoy your Windows 8 computer!

  • How to Restore Windows 8 if System Crashes

    Okay I purchased three HP Pavilions (1 last month two last year) from Best Buy.  They did not come with Windows 8.1 Recovery Disk.  So how can I restore Windows 8.1 if my disk crashes?  How can I get the media and the product key for Win 8.1 for my systems?  Thanks for the help.

    Hi,
    Nowadys computers won't come with installation and driver DVD's. Users have to create themselves. You can use HP Recovery Manager to create a set of discs (same for Windows 8.1):

  • How to restore iphoto library lost files

    I need to know how to restore my iphoto library. I was trying to backup my photos using an external harddrive. I clicked the option key then opened iphoto. I tried to  send the photos to my ext harddrive but could not. I even tried to import my photos to files on my desktop, then drag and drop, but could not. I've done this before but now it won't work.Now when I can't open iphoto, here is nothing in my library. I had 10,000 pictures in labeled albums. Now nothing. How do I get the option mode off? The iphoto library has a foggy-gray look to it and I can't click on anything. My photos are still in my picture folders in my finder.
    Thanks for any help!

    1 - Never make any changes of any dsort to the structure or content of the iphoto library - and it is best to jsut stay out of it as there are no user servicable parts in it
    2 - to restore your iPhoto library you must first have a backup of it - do you? Time Machine or other backup program? or an exact copy of the iPhoto library?
    3 -
    I clicked the option key then opened iphoto. I tried to  send the photos to my ext harddrive but could not.
    exactly what did you do? this makes no sense - option launching iPhoto does not give you any option to send anything anyplace - it does give you the capability to select a different library.  If you did that then option launch iPhoto again, use the select library options and select your iPhoto library on your main drive

  • How to restore Windows in disk utility?

    So I am trying to transfer a windows image by target booting to a Mac Pro, but the windows side wont, it's giving me a no bootable device error, Help!!!.

    You have not really detailed your setup and how you used WinClone, whether you have a divided disk drive or not.
    Thread with suggestions on Windows backup methods:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3798090
    Paragon CampTune
    Paragon CampTune is a commercial product that is designed expressly for this task. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ It consists of a downloadable ISO that needs to be burned to a disc and booted from in order to resize the partitions costs US$19.95.  
    Securing Dual-System Configuration
    Imaging is still the most affordable and robust way to secure computer data. Unfortunately Mac OS X backs up only HFS+ volumes, leaving Windows with dual-system configurations unsecured. You can permanently lose all of your data unless you have a Windows-compatible backup solution.
    Paragon’s CampTune and Paragon’s Drive Copy for Mac can secure the entire dual-system configuration. CampTune creates traditional images of volumes or entire hard disks, Drive Copy can copy them to other disks. In case of an emergency, you can restore the previously created image or copy all your data back to its original state.
    GParted Live
    GParted Live is similar to CampTune as it is also distributed as a bootable image that needs to be copied to a CD/DVD or USB flash drive. As free and open source software, distributed under the GPL, it will always be available free. Since it has more functions than CampTune, it may be harder for folks who are not as experienced with partitioning hard drives. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
    iPartition
    Coriolis Systems' iPartition is a £29.95 ($44.95 US) utility that runs in Mac OS X and allows resizing of all of the relevant partition formats, including HFS+, FAT32, and NTFS. It provides a Mac-oriented user interface that may be easier to manage than some of the free utilities. As it is not capable of resizing the boot disk, it requires a bootable external disk or a boot DVD. (A tool to create a boot DVD is included.)
    Paragon Partition Manager
    From the makes of CampTune is a commercial tool that is similar in functionality to GParted Live, but has a more polished/friendly user interface than GParted Live. Previously only the US$79.95 Professional version supported all the features required for this, but as of version 11 the US$39.95 Personal version has also been reported to work. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-personal/
    Winclone/Disk Utility
    Winclone is a free tool for creating and restoring backup images of your Windows partition. One of its key features is that it can restore to a larger partition than the one the image was created from.
    NOTE: Winclone has been discontinued, but for now remains available and capable of completing these tasks (including creating and restoring Windows 7 images).
    Winclone updated to support Lion Winclone updates and download
    Disk Utility can resize HFS+ (Mac OS) partitions, but is currently incapable of resizing NTFS partitions, so you could use it to reduce the size of the HFS+ partition and create a new larger placeholder MS-DOS (FAT) partition
    The full process would be:
    Backup Windows partition with Winclone.
    (if the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one make sure you set the preferences in Winclone to save the image as an uncompressed dmg)
    Delete old Windows partition
    Resize current Mac Partition
    Create new Windows partition as MS-DOS (FAT) in free space after Mac OS partition.
    (If the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one an additional step is required: shrink the filesystem on the image by selecting Tools->Shrink Windows (NTFS) Filesystem)
    Reboot your computer for the new Windows partition to mount properly (winclone may not restore if you don't reboot)
    Restore Winclone partition over new Windows partition
    An alternate Winclone based process is described in the External Guides section
    Native OS utilities
    MR user Kazyua reports that you can use the disk management utilities provided with the current operating systems if you want to do it manually. Windows 7 and OS X both have partition resizing functions built in. In OS X, open Disk Utility and manually shrink the mac HFS+ partition by dragging the lower right corner. Then in windows go to the start menu and type "disk management" into the search box then hit enter. You should get an overview of the drives you have and the individual partitions. Right-clicking on the partition gives an "Extend Volume" option. The Windows NTFS volume should then be extended into the free space you created with Disk Utility. This method has not worked for other users, so try at your own risk.

  • Satellite A200-17O - How to restore Windows to factory settings?

    Hi
    I have a Satellite A200-17O. I want to restore Windows Vista to factory settings, I do not need to back up any files. I do not have the Product Recovery CD. When I press F8 and click the "Repair Computer" option, it will give me all the options, but when I click the option to fully recover the system (the one on the bottom), it will simply open up a window telling me to back up my data, then theres an "OK" button, and when I click that, the window will simply close and go back to the options menu. All I want is to get Vista back to Factory settings.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hello
    Yes, normally you can restore your notebook back to factory settings using the HDD recovery option. Therefore you should follow the instructions here:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    If it doesnt work you have to use the Toshiba recovery disk. If your notebook didnt come with such a recovery disk you have to create it yourself using preinstalled recovery creator tool. This is mentioned in your user manual, have you checked it?
    Therefore you need some blank DVDs. I would recommend DVD-R from Verbatim or TDK. Many users here have good experience with these brands.
    If you have more questions, just post again! ;)

  • How to restore Windows boot after resizing system partition ?

    I have an fairly new HP Pavilion 14-n228ca notebook which I intend to use mostly for Linux, but still wish to occasionally run the WIndows 8.1 that it shipped with.
    I installed CentOS 6.5 using the dual-boot procedure I have used many times in the past with XP and Vista, viz. resize the main NTFS filesystem, delete the partition and recreate it smaller at the exact same start byte.
    Normally (on XP,Vista) Windows boots from GRUB, but here I get an error "file \Boot\BCD - missing or contains errors"
    F9 at boot gets me a hardware boot menu, where I have a choice of "OS boot manager", EFI file, or "notebook hard drive". The last gets me GRUB. The first drops me to a repair menu where I can try autorepair, which fails, or a command
    line.
    The command line allows me to run diskpart and assign a drive letter to the system partition, at which point I can run chkfs successfully and access files.
    If I try "bootrec /rebuildbcd" it finds one valid volume at \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HardDiskVolume4\Windows but then says "system cannot find the file specified"
    How can I restore the ability to boot the Windows partition, preferably without messing up the Linux one ?

    assuming your recovery partition is still extant, you can run that and go back to factory
    backup files first natually

  • How to restore iTunes after music files erased

    So, I accidentally erased all my music files which were stored on an external hard drive. (Bone headed move, don't ask). Thankfully, all the files were backed up. I restored the external hard drive with all the music files but am not sure what the next move is. Couple of questions:
    First, the iTunes application still has all my songs listed. Of course, when I click one, it says it cannot locate the file since, of course, the original file was accidentally deleted. If I simply re-import all the files from my backup harddrive will I have essentially duplicates of every song I have? That is to say 1 file that won't play and one file that will?
    Second, should I erase the entire songlist from iTunes and then re-import?
    Third, any other suggestions?
    I backed everything up on TimeMachine.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi Jim,
    Thanks for the reply.
    Not sure how I would go about restoring the itl file.
    The only files I lost were the actual music files. The hard drive with theiTunes application and other itunes files are fine and untouched but since the original files were deleted, iTunes can't locate them. (Unless I point it toward the restored drive one-by-one)
    Does that make sense?
    Thanks,
    John

  • How we restore the database dmp file in Oracle10g express edition

    please provide me answers as soon as possible...my database is fresh and i want to restore the dmp file in my database, that dmp file is exported by oracle 10g database on other machine.

    there is no impdb or expdb command. There is an imp (for import) and exp (for export).
    I assume you want to replace the existing database with the one on your laptop.
    A much better and more efficient way to do this would be to backup the database on your home machine and then restore it to your office database.
    but before you do anything, backup the database you are copying/importing to (backup option is available on the windows menu or its a batch or shell script in the appropriate directory)

    I accidentally deleted a pdf file from the Goodreader documents in itunes software that I edited with highlight, notes etc and can't find it.
    I think each time I sync my ipad with the laptop a BACK-UP file is created??
    Where can I find this and HOW CAN I RESTORE IT?
    PLEASE HELP since the edits in the pdf are very important to me.....thanks !!!

    Is the backup a Time Machine backup? If so, this link should help:
    http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/14.html
    Even if the backup is not a Time Machine backup, you should still be able to erase or reformat your drive using Disk Utility following these instructions and then use Setup Assistant to migrate the data from your backup.
    Good luck!
