| 1412206 | 2015-12-02 12:52:00 | The windows imaging is not always that fantastic. You will need a recovery CD which you should have been prompted to make or a Windows 8.1 DVD/ Bootable USB drive. Cant remember if you need to make separate partitions or just one single partition to start with. But have a read of the following article, scroll down till you see - Restore a System Image Backup. how-to-create-and-restore-system-image-backups-on-windows-8.1/ (www.howtogeek.com) After the last picture - it will prompt as to where the image is, in your case the USB Drive, select it and follow onscreen instructions. "IF" by some chance you have changed your Hard Drive, then you will HAVE to have the same size or Larger than the original. The windows backup image wont go onto a smaller drive even if there is plenty of free space. Example, lets say you had a 500GB hard Drive originally and put in a 256GB SSD with only 80GB Used -- the image wont work, it will say not enough space. In a case like that you would need better imaging software or clone the drive. Thamk you so much. All the way you sayed I went before. About the link you send it to me there is is an error for me: uupload.ir(1).jpg about last line You mentioned I will try it with Clone the drive. and wil tell you the result. |

About the link you send it to me there is is an error for me: uupload.ir(1).jpg about last line You mentioned I will try it with Clone the drive. and wil tell you the result. Going by the message in the picture you are actually booting from the hidden recovery partition on the hard Drive, not from a CD/DVD. The recovery partition on the drive is hidden and by the looks of it where mentioned After that I delete All the partion and repartion my Note book. The recovery partition was not deleted. If you wanted to wipe the drive completely you cant do it from the same drive. You need to boot from a bootable CD or USB drive with partition software and that will allow you to wipe the lot. A program / CD I use almost daily is AOEMI partition-manager (www.disk-partition.com). There are plenty of free ones about, just use what ever you like. |

Could you tell me what should I do exactly? for example copy the AOEMI in a bootable USB and reset the Notebook. after that .. what should I do? (have I delete all the portions?) How does this software (AOEMI) work? PLZ explain it for me like some one who is beginner, one by one. Thank you so much dear friend. |

| 1412211 | 2015-12-03 21:27:00 | It may be some AHCI & UEFI weirdness that is making things harder for you. If you used the windows backup to make a SYSTEM IMAGE , then you need a Windows CD/usb or recovery CD/usb to boot from windows.microsoft.com The other issue MIGHT be, some laptops have non standard partitons, non standard boot loaders and/or non standard partition order. This sometimes causes issues with backup/re-image , but you still arnt at the stage of the restore finding the backup yet. Is the laptop still running windows, or did you wipe everything off the laptop , ie did you wipe the hard drive clean ? |

Ok, it depends on if you did JUST a system image backup, or a file backup as well. I'll assume its just a system image backup , if so may not be easy just to get the files you want . windows.microsoft.com www.howtogeek.com www.techrepublic.com |

You cant boot windows normally and recover from that, as windows is running already, that will only be able to extract the data. To recover the system you have to do it without Windows booting, Eg: from the CD or USB, making sure the external Drive that has the backup is attached. Depending on your BIOS settings ( again previously mentioned) you may need to alter them to allow booting from a CD or USB drive. If not really understanding or want to do it, I'd suggest you ask a local Tech to do it for you. Muddling about , unsure can result in lose of data completely. |
