How to select and delete an INDIVIDUAL System Image restore point (backup) in Windows 7

Hi all,
I have two System Image Backups of my current running windows 7 system, whole drive (C), stored on an external USB drive. I would like to delete the latest System Image Backup but to keep my first/earliest one.
Please advise me in this regard.

  • 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.

  • How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted part! What am I doing wrong?

    How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
    What am I doing wrong?

    After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
    What am I doing wrong?
    How exactly are you doing this?
    When I cut out a part of an audio region, then drag the remaining parts together, so they are touching, the track will skip the cut out section when playing the file.  Also, if I select the remaining parts of the region and use the command "Edit > join regions". This will create a new audio file with the cut out part deleted.
    You should see this prompt, when you are joining the regions:

  • How to create and delete an Endeca application in Windows

    HI,
    can you please help me in ,
    how to create and delete an Endeca application inWindows machine not in Linux Machine.
    Thanks.....

    Hi,
    Steps to create an Endeca Application are clearly given in Getting Started Guide.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E38680_01/Common.311/pdf/GettingStarted.pdf (Chapter 6 : Deploying a Reference Application)
    If you want to create an endeca application so as to integrate with Product Catalog system such as ATG using ATG 10.1.1 or above , then create an endeca application using the discover-data-catalog-integration reference application. Steps for doing this are documented in ProductCatalogDTGuide
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E38679_01/ToolsAndFrameworks.311/pdf/ProductCatalogDTGuide.pdf (Deploying the Product Catalog Application)
    To delete an Endeca Application that you have created in Windows/linux
    1. Navigate to the control directory of the application that you want to remove and execute the script
    runCommand.bat --remove-app (Removes the provisioning information with EAC admin console)
    2. Remove the instance configuration files for the application using the emgr_update command line utility
    emgr_update.bat host localhost:8006 app_name My_app action remove_all_settings prefix My_prefix
    3. You can then explicitly delete the directory in the Endeca_apps directory where you have initially created your application.
    If you are using discover-data-catalog-integration, you can remove the CAS Record Store Instances by navigating to CAS/bin directory and executing
    ./component-manager-cmd.sh delete-component -n {YOUR_APP_RECORD_STORE_NAME}
    Thanks,

  • How to select and print calls only made and receiv...

    how to select and print out list of calls made and received for the past year, between myseld and one particular contact

    While I'm not sure about what you want to accomplish, I'll offer a couple of possible solutions.
    1. If the items that you want to remove are on the timeline, and those items are in layers that contain no content that you want to keep, then you can just select those layers and delete them.
    2. If you want to remove some items from the stage, but keep the original items for some later purpose, just copy the movie and then edit the copy as in item 1.
    3. If you need to remove some items from stage and then resize the stage to compensate for the loss of these items, then you may have to move and/or resize some of the items in your movie. This may be as simple as using the "edit multiple frames" selection in the timeline, or it may be much more time consuming.

  • How to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

    how to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

    Photos has no built-in tools to screen the library for duplicates. It relies on the warning on import, that should prevent you from importing duplicates.
    Once duplicate shave been imported, delete them manually, or use third-party tools.
    For example, these new apps claim to work with Photos:
    Power photos:  Fat Cat Software
    Duplicate annihilator: Brattoo Propaganda Software - Products

    Tap and hold on a text within a conversation. Tap "More" in the pop up menu. Select the messages you want to delete by tapping in the little circles at the left of the messages. Tap the trash can in the lower left of the screen.
    Best of luck.

  • How to group and delete sections of emails at one time

    I would like to be able to place seconds of emails together and delete them without having to delete each email one at a time, or to use ctrl and click and delete

    You can star the offending messages but I think this may be no more efficient than control-click etc.
    I use sorting and the QuickFilter to get similar messages grouped together. Then shift-click and ctrl+a (to select all) allow a block of messages to be selected and deleted with one press of the delete key.

  • How to insert and delete fragments by clicking a button and how to script it?

    I have a  question on livecycle. I am collecting the inventor information as a bunch of text fields, each asking for a certain details. Please see below
    Now I have grouped them all in to one fragment called inventordetails and saved as .xdp file, so I could reuse this entire block. I want to add a button underneath this block, “ADD MORE INVENTORS” and when clicked this will insert another block and so forth and so on. However I was not sure as to how to insert and delete a fragment. Do  you think you can help with this? I appreciate any help in this regard.

    4.       Also inside subform1 I insert a fragment called inventor
    Now I want to script the buttons so that when clicked the inventor fragment either gets inserted again or deleted.

  • How to select and store the dynamically clicked values in the checkboxes?

    Hi Gurus
    How to select and store the dynamically clicked values in the checkboxes?
    Scenario:-
    I am having a tree structure but I am not getting that user has clicked the which nodes.
    So how to do it.
    Pls.

    Hi,
    Once again, this is dependent on what your implementation expects. It would seem that your implementation is expecting all of the API to be coded in Java Card so it would make sense that you would load these packages like any other package. Loading an applet is not a special case, it just has an extra step of installing instances of it (and can actually be installed). Any other Java package just needs to be loaded. As such, just load your CAP files for each package of the API before loading any code that depends on it.
    Cheers,
    Shane

  • HT4873 How i can recover deleted files from icloud,,I had a backup copy on iCloud for whatsapp application and I lost it,,I need bring it back what I have to do

    How i can recover deleted files from icloud,,I had a backup copy on iCloud for whatsapp application and I lost it,,I need bring it back what I have to do

    You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com.  If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it.  (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
    If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
    In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album.  Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored.  Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another.  Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.

  • 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.
