Partitioning For System Image Backup

Jun 29, 2015

I've not partitioned a hard drive on Windows 8/8.1. In fact, I've never partitioned a hard drive on Windows 7. The last time I partitioned a hard drive was Windows XP to dual-boot two operating systems. I'd like to partition the hard drive on my laptop in order to save a backup of my system onto it, as I don't have an external drive right now. Any detailed, step by step process to partition my hard drive and then back up my system onto it? I have 350GB of free space.

System Image Backup To USB Drive?

Apr 1, 2016

I recently purchased a Lenovo 900 ultrabook, and proceeded to upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro (using a Windows 7 Ultimate product key). Now that I have done this the factory "restore" does not include my upgrade and I am concerned that I would lose it if I ever needed to restore.

So, I am trying to do a full system image backup to a flash drive, but Windows 10 says that the drive is not allowed for this. I can create the USB drive as a network share and get the backup to work using that method, but I don't really trust that it will work properly.

How to do a full system image backup to a USB drive in Windows 10 that you trust will work in the case a restore is needed?

Performance :: System Image Backup - 807800c5 Error

Aug 22, 2015

I have a problem with windows system image backup. My OEM windows 8.1 was installed on normal HDD with mbr partition config. so i bought an SDD make an image back up from my drive c. and then use windows DVD to recover(install) the image on new SDD.

Now after i upgrade to windows 10 i learned that i could change mbr to GPT and use EFi boot instead on using old legacy boot option. Now after doing all these without reinstalling windows(cause I cannot go back to win 8.1 anymore)

I decided to make a image back from windows 10 so i can restore to it in future. The problem is every time windows tries to make an image, when it start to make an image from EFI partition it ran into this error : (the specified backup disk cannot be found) 0x807800c5

Performance :: Backup With System Image Failed Because User Files On 2nd Drive

Oct 9, 2015

I have been trying to setup a scheduled backup (Windows 7 Backup and restore) on Windows 10. I want to include a system image of the C: drive as part of the back up and save it to the D: drive. However Windows wont let me save the image on the D: drive, I think because I moved the location of my user files to the D: drive to save space on my SSD.

Any way to override or workaround this without having to move my files back to the C: drive?

Suddenly Cannot Restore Image By Running System Image

Sep 21, 2015

Windows 10 Home.

I created system image backup file at least once a week. I did one yesterday, and today I needed to run it to restore my system. To my horror, I cannot find way to run it. I ran system image backup restore multiple times. I know how to do it...... until today. Today, by the time I clicked Troubleshoot option, there is no Advanced Options to choose from. Instead it sent me to Startup Settings option where I could go to safe mode etc,

I ended up running a system restore. Good thing I do create restore point religiously. But, after system restore, I still have the same problem.......... cannot restore image by using system image backup.

adding............... I went to my other laptop running Win 10 Pro, I had no trouble running system image restore.

Performance :: Windows Image Backup Failing

Feb 10, 2016

My wife's Samsung laptop gets a failure whenever trying to do an image backup. Actually, this has been happening for quite a while - even before she installed Windows 10 when she had W7. I was hoping that the problem would go away with W10 but it hasn't. Backup runs almost to the end and then fails with the attached message. The message says to run dskchk on both her drive and on the backup drive which I did. No problems were found. (I backup my desktop on that drive all the time with no problems.) I tried backing it up on another external drive that also tests good but got the same error message.

Hard Drive C Partitioning - Shrink Space Allowed Is Only Around 3 GB

Nov 26, 2015

I just bought my surface book. I am trying to partition my C Hard drive. I thought that I have to shrink it first, then create a partition. However, the shrink space allowed is only around 3 GB. My disk size is 512 GB.

I defragmented (or now called optimized) the C drive and retried it, but no use. I would like to create a new drive call it D, and leave C for windows only.

Where Is System Image Creation

Jan 26, 2016

I successfully created the image to an external drive, apparently. It took some time and the moving activity bar moved to completion.Opening the drive there is no sign of the image altho there is one I created last year. Also altho it said that so much of the drive would be used the resulting free space seems the same as before the creation.It is not in my C drive so what has happened?
