Antipyretics for children are prescribed by a pediatrician. But there are emergency situations for fever when the child needs to be given medicine immediately. Then the parents take responsibility and use antipyretic drugs. What is allowed to give to infants? How can you bring down the temperature in older children? What medicines are the safest?
Hello, friends! Each manufacturer supplies their laptops with their own recovery program. Each manufacturer has a different name for it, but they all work almost the same. For example, in Toshiba laptops, such a program is called Recovery Disc Creator or Recovery Media Creator, for Acer laptops, this utility is called Acer eRecovery Management, for Samsung laptops, the program is called Samsung Recovery Solution 5, for Sony laptops - VAIO Recovery Center, for HP laptops - HP Recovery Manager. All these programs are similar to each other and work on the same principle. So, no matter what laptop you have, you can safely use this instruction for yourself.

Letter from a reader. Hello admin! I bought a new laptop with a preinstalled Windows 8 operating system. I’m thinking of experimenting with it, for example, dividing the hard drive into several partitions or installing Windows 7 or some other instead of Windows 8 operating system, but friends dissuade and here's why.
The hard drive of a new laptop contains only four partitions. The first and second sections contain the service areas of the laptop, the third section contains the operating Windows system 8, the fourth section contains the factory settings of the laptop.
Naturally, during my experiments, I can accidentally damage or delete one of the partitions, for example, a partition with factory settings, after which I will not be able, if necessary, to roll back to the factory settings. If I damage the first or second partitions, then I won't be able to boot Windows 8.
So I want to ask you how I make a full backup of my laptop's entire hard drive on third-party media (USB hard drive or DVDs, or on a flash drive) and how to recover from it if necessary, that is, return the laptop to the ideal factory state that was at the time of purchase. If you still show all this with pictures, then thank you very much.
How to create a backup image of a laptop hard drive
If you bought a new laptop, be sure to make a full backup image of all hard disk partitions and place it on a portable USB hard drive or on DVD discs. I understand that you don’t want to do this, I also understand that there is a hidden partition on your laptop and you can restore the factory settings from it if necessary, but the hidden partition is very often deleted due to careless user actions. And in some cases, the user deletes it on purpose.
Many users immediately after buying a laptop delete the operating system preinstalled on it and in general everything that is on it, that is, all existing partitions, including the partition with factory settings. Then install another operating system. Sometimes the idea to reinstall Windows 8 on Windows 7 is suggested by some friend or acquaintance who read somewhere on the Internet that Windows 8 has no right to exist.
As a result, everything is hastily removed on the laptop and Windows 7 is installed, but then it turns out that there is no built-in antivirus on Windows 7, but on Windows 8 it was and that there are no drivers for this laptop on the official laptop website. Or there are drivers, but for some reason they are not installed. Then more details are clarified, it turns out that the Windows 7 you have installed is some kind of fake and it cannot be updated on the Internet. This is how the first problems, doubts and memories of Windows 8 demolished without a trace begin.
Some time passes and most users begin to search the Internet for options to restore their laptop to its original factory state, which was at the time of purchase of the laptop. But, but since the hidden partition with factory settings was deleted by them, and there was no backup image on third-party media or recovery DVDs, this task becomes quite difficult.
How to create an image of hard disk partitions on a Toshiba laptop
So, we have read all the warnings, now we are creating a complete backup image of all hard disk partitions on DVDs and also on a flash drive. And then we'll try to restore our laptop.
We connect the power adapter to the laptop so that when creating a hard disk image, the laptop does not turn off and the process is not interrupted in the middle.
Move the mouse to the lower left corner and click the left button,
Right click on empty space
and find our Recovery Media Creator recovery program, run it.
The program offers us to create a Rescue Media for system recovery, we can create recovery DVD discs with you (you will need 3 blank DVD discs). Or choose a USB flash drive with a capacity of at least 16 GB.
Let's choose the recovery DVDs. We insert the first blank DVD disc into the drive, mark it
And click Create
The image creation process begins.
The first disk of the three is ready, insert the second disk into the drive
And the third.
That's it, the DVD recovery disks with the image of all hard disk partitions are ready.
How to recover Toshiba laptop hard drive from recovery DVDs
If you want to return your laptop to the factory state, then this can be done even if the laptop, due to errors, does not load the operating system at all. If you have created a flash drive, then boot from it. We select the first of the three recovery DVDs we created and insert it into the drive, then reboot the laptop and boot the laptop from the disk.
To boot a Toshiba laptop from a disk or flash drive, at the very beginning of the boot, we often press the F12 key,
The boot menu opens, select our drive in it and the laptop boots from the first recovery disk.
A minute later, the Toshiba Recovery Wizard laptop factory settings window appears, we can select the first item or the second, let's look at both. First, select the first item and click Next.
Click Yes and the laptop is restored to factory settings. I want to say that this is the simplest and most commonly used method. Be careful, all your data will be deleted. To prevent the recovery from being interrupted in half, connect the power adapter to the laptop.
Select the first item Recovery software factory default"and click Next.
We insert our first DVD with a backup of the factory settings into the drive, after a few minutes, the program will ask you to insert the second disc, and then the third.
Recovery in progress
Recovery completed. Click Done.

Hello everybody!
Maybe someone will tell you about the possibility of cloning a hard drive with another file system such as X-BOX360 with this program (or tell you other options).
Hello Anton Dyachenko! I'm going to use your materials to create an image of the system disk in order to then restore the computer in case of a virus infection or other "damage". I believe this is much better than System Restore. In this regard, there are questions:
1. If you insert the disk intended for the image into a computer and install the system, drivers and programs on it, will it be directly so necessary for subsequent cloning?
2. Which is better - create an image in the computer itself or clone system disk to an external hard drive?
3. Do I understand correctly that you can restore the system using an image without removing the internal system disk? To do this, you need to connect a bootable USB flash drive and a disk with an image? Then format the system disk and clone the image to it?
4. How much larger should the disk space for the image be than the space occupied by the system, drivers, and programs?
Thank you for your article and, in advance, for the answer.

Hello
1. If you insert the disk intended for the image into a computer and install the system, drivers and programs on it, will it be directly so necessary for subsequent cloning? - yes, it will be possible to make an image from it to any other disk. But, I don't quite understand the question. That is, you have a working computer on which everything is already installed. Do you want to add another disk to it and install everything on it? If yes, then it seems to me easier to add a disk and make an image of an existing partition on it.
2. What is better - to create an image in the computer itself or to clone the system disk to an external hard drive? - It is better to create an image on an external or other internal HDD. Because if one disk fails, you can recover from another.
3. Do I understand correctly that you can restore the system using an image without removing the internal system disk? To do this, you need to connect a bootable USB flash drive and a disk with an image? Then format the system disk and clone the image to it? - that's right.
4. How much larger should the disk space for the image be than the space occupied by the system, drivers, and programs? —- I think the same volume is enough. When creating an image, I recommended enabling fast compression, which should slightly reduce the volume. So I think the same amount should be enough.
I understand, thanks.
I forgot to ask earlier - is the Norton Ghost program to which you gave the link suitable for a 64-bit computer?
I tried to make a bootable USB flash drive and immediately a problem arose.
I installed the USB Flash boot to DOS program on the computer. At the stage of formatting the flash drive and creating a DOS startup disk, using the […] button, indicated the path to the boot folder in the place where the source program was unpacked. After the start, a sign appeared:
There are no valid OS system files at specified location.
Am I wrong about something?
- Anton Dyachenko Post author 01/12/2014 at 17:41
What exactly was wrong. Try Again
- yutitov 01/12/2014 at 18:05
Tried several times. My computer has 2 hard drives. I unpacked the program to a data drive (system on a different drive). Installed from the same disk. There also indicated the path for boot. Maybe the dog is buried in this?
- yutitov 01/12/2014 at 18:26
Now I deleted everything, re-downloaded the program. Unpacked to the system disk. The result is the same.
- yutitov 01/12/2014 at 18:34
Found an error. I specified the path to the boot folder, as it was written in the text. But the screenshot shows the path to the dos folder. In this way, the flash drive turned out.

Hello Anton!
Before your answer, I experimentally made sure that Symantec formats the disk before installing the image and does not ask if this should be done. But still curious why the format command is not executed. The disk name changes when booting from a USB flash drive. The Symantec program under the letter C: sees the flash drive itself, and the system partition is listed as 2.1: But if you use this drive name, then the format 2.1: command is still not executed.
It also seems a little strange to reduce the volume of the system partition after installation from the image. So, before installing the image, the volume of the system partition was 80GB, and after installation from the image, 47GB (according to Total Commander). At the same time, nothing has disappeared from the new section. Has the hidden unnecessary volume really disappeared?
Good afternoon, Anton!
There was a problem: cloning hard disk with Linux on a blank disk when booting displays a set of 0 and 1, if I understand correctly, then the bootloader is not cloned into partitions of the new hard disk .... or simply cloning skips empty partitions and fills only 0, which prevents the OS from booting normally
Hello Anton!
Thanks for the great article on cloning with GHOST! Everything is very clear and understandable. So to say "Russian in white"))
I have some questions. Could you enlighten me about the settings of the GHOST program? In particular, the “Options” section is of interest, and in it is the “Image / Tape” tab. I don't quite understand the meaning of these keys. Are they needed for imaging or for extraction?
I need to make a clone of a 250 GB disk, of which only 62 GB is occupied. I don’t want to get an image file of 250 GB in size, including free space))))
Thank you in advance for your response!
Hello Anton! I've successfully used your flash drive to image first Vista and then Windows 7 on the same computer. By the way, the presence of an image encourages even risky experiments, since the old version is very easy to restore.
Next, I did a major upgrade on an old Windows XP machine and wanted to keep the image. But it didn’t work to start XP from a USB flash drive - after entering the boot selection window, the line with the USB device did not appear. Apparently XP doesn't provide this. But there was a line to boot from CD/DVD. I copied the flash drive to a CD and tried to boot DOS from it, after setting the boot order from the CD ROM in the BIOS. But the computer booted the system from the hard drive.
Why is that? And how to make a bootable CD? I suspect that it was impossible to simply copy the flash drive.
Yu.T.
….for creating boot disk it is desirable to burn an image of a boot disk on it.
—————————————————
Thanks Anton. But how to do it?
Good afternoon, Anton.
Thank you for the article.
There are 10 computers with the same hardware. If you put Windows 7 on one of them and create a clone of drive C, can you then use this clone to install the OS on the remaining 9 machines? If so, is the clone created only from the C drive, or also from the "System Reserved - 100 MB" drive?
Thanks for the answer.
I think for these purposes it is better to use Acronis True Image Home
I have a question for a connoisseur-administrator. with a computer, I ask you something: transferring an entire hard disk (an exact copy) to a completely different computer is done in the same way? I have a DNS beech on it, two systems XP and 7, respectively, are registered in the registries and everywhere there are various programs with “keys”, etc. It is necessary to do this all on a stationary one. The hard drive on the stationary one is larger, and it is not clear whether the exact copy will be correctly attached to another hardware, and most importantly, will these settings be written in the registry? Sincerely ….
the flash drive does not work, before that I tried LiveCD the same thing,
a blue screen occurs: a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
check for viruses on your computer.Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers.Check your hard drive to make shure it is properly configured and terminated.Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption,and then restart your computer.
technical information:
*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78E6524.0xC0000034.0x00000000.0x00000000)
but wait, I’m already confused .. I’ve already made 3 different bootable flash drives ...
I have a disk of 500 gigs, I want to shove it onto a disk of 250 g, but only 70 gigs are recorded on 500 g, will it still not record the image?
Yes, everything turns out from under DOS, but I ran into the following problem, I made three clones of the disk at different times (everything easily fit on one disk), but when restoring two, it was not possible to restore (writes bad bloks), it’s good that the last one passed, but the most the required one didn’t pass (((, is it possible to restore this snapshot of the system and how to avoid such problems in the future and nothing will happen to the remaining snapshot (now I’m interested in disk check programs and will it be enough to fix disk malfunctions or is it better to change the disk?)
Is it possible to immediately check it when taking a snapshot of the system?
Yes, and the question itself too, everyone writes, but I did everything, everything worked out, everything worked out for me too, but when you need to restore such bad bloks will crawl out, and you will think that you have an image in stock.
I tried to transfer the system disk to a new one, at first I copied partitions of the same size from partition to partition, but upon completion of the Windows, the computer did not boot, wrote reboot and selekt proper boot device. Everything is set correctly in bios. Then I try to do the same thing but with saving and restoring the image, the result is the same. The third attempt increased the size of the new disk after the completion of the same inscription. Maybe try disk to disk? but I doubt it will work. In general, Windows is loaded if a bootable USB flash drive with Windows is plugged into the computer. It looks like the computer takes boot data from a USB flash drive. How to be?

Hello Artem
When we clone a system partition, sometimes (almost always) we need to restore the boot record. This is done by loading from installation disk the same bit depth as the installed system and select System Restore. If you don't succeed, you can try to make the image with Acronis
Good afternoon, I tried to make a clone of a disk with saving to a disk, I had to interrupt the operation, now instead of a 500GB disk I have a clear copy (104GB) of disk c, the rest of the space is visible only with utilities, how to fix it, worked through lavsd. Many thanks, I'm ready to pay for advice, there is a lot of necessary information on the disk.
Everything was exactly like this, only I didn’t make an image, but chose cloning, after 15 minutes I interrupted the operation, rebooted and I clearly have 2 identical disks, with the only difference that Windows did not boot from d.
Thank you very much, here is the result, windows resource protection found corrupted files but could not restore some of them, I did this before contacting here. And if you do a reinstallation of the system, a record about the image
will he leave with the old system, or is it written on a disk?
It's just strange that it turns out in the total commander 104 GB as on a disk with, but when formatting it shows all 600.
The joke is that when you connect via live, you can also see the space of the partition c, I deleted the files, and the rest of the space, but also without files, is visible in the acronis and the like, but at least the hard one is filled with 600GB, the files on it in these programs it is not visible, they show only a space of 589 GB occupied.
Deleted files on the old hard drive. Then I cloned it and deployed it to a new HDD.
Is it possible to restore these files on a new disk? Or are they lost forever?
Thank you for the detailed explanations of the program.
I cloned the HDD from a laptop using another computer, everything started the first time, it only needed to be rebooted after installing the drivers for the new screw. I didn't even have to create a bootable flash drive. Just from under the already running Win7 opened ghost32.exe.
Hello.
Need your help.
There are 5 identical computers
1 fully installed (worth persons. Windows seven and firewood)
4 naked
there is a program Acronis true image home 2012
How can I install from one hard drive the same thing on other computers?
THOSE. I need to install all the same on other 4 computers, which is on 1, and so that everything works. All computers are the same.
I don’t want to take a steam bath and put everything separately, I can’t find information on the internet how to do it all and write it down. If anyone knows where to find or knows how to do it please tell me
Everything turned out great! Thank you very much for your guide and video!!!
Finally, in terms of cloning with Ghost. When cloning partition to partition,
not only did the broken sector become an insurmountable obstacle for her, she managed to break firewood on the new disk. The old OS XP stopped seeing the Partition on the new disk. I had to reformat.. And one more good advice! After you create a bootable flash drive, get rid of its creator and its traces so that there are no problems with the computer, the registry. "Mom" is acting like a spy. More precisely, after creating a bootable flash drive, roll back the system to the checkpoint that was before installing the program
Hello!
Tell me, one moment. I want to use the Ghost program to make an image of only the C drive. I choose Partition to Image accordingly. In the partitions I see C, D and a small 100MB partition that is created when you install Windows. It is occupied by 25Mb.
Do I need to clone this small partition as well or just the C drive???
Thank you!
Forgot to say, Windows - Windows 7
Greetings, Anton! There is a hard drive with a program and a database running DOS. Acronis (with LiveCD) sees this hard drive, but writes that it is empty and, accordingly, an image / copy cannot be made. Q: Does Ghost see a DOS system? You need to know for sure, because. the computer is far away, it will not be possible to check immediately. Before the trip, I would like to have time to find a solution.
Thanks, it works.
Good afternoon!
the article is excellent and the program is not bad, but there was a problem:
Application Error 25058
Unable to locate enough contiguous free space to load run.
Increase the destination partition size or run Ghost with -NTEXACT switch.
what to do?
