I just used Windows Vista to back up my drive to an external drive. It said the backup was successful but when I went to safely remove hardware, I got this message: " Windows can't stop your Generic volume device because it is in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, and then try again later. "I made sure everything was closed, checked with Task Manager and tried again. Same message. After 20 minutes, I finally just disconnected it.

I am running Vista on a Dell XPS 420. I came home to find both drives failed in a RAID 1 mirror. Dell gave me no help recovering data, but did send two new drives. I have installed Vista on one of the new drives without RAID. I wanted to see if I could recover any files from the failed drives, but I can't seem to get Vista to recognize either of the old drives that were in the failed RAID array. The failed drive does appear during boot up and still shows as part of a failed array. How can I get Vista to recognize the failed drive so that I can then attempt to run file recovery software on it?

I just purchased a HP tx2000 Table PC with Vista Ultimate 64-Bit. However, I got a Palm Treo 680 that only works with 32-Bit. I need to find a way to change my operating system down to 32-Bit.

why did i install Vista anyway? So stable, so fast, so fast, so..... fast. I have XP installed with SP3 and everything runs so well, my CPU runs so cooler for some reason, all my games, even Crysis run so better! AND, what? Only 200mb of ram is used right now instead of almost 1gb? x64, Directx10, i wont miss you, damn ressources pigs! was good to read on this forum when i had troubles with Vista, but now i wont have to, since XP is perfect.

I partitioned my HD and had vista and XP on it. All my music and everything was on my xp partition, and when i tried to access them from vista it wouldnt let me because of permission rights. I enabled vista to read them by enabling me as an admin under the security tab. After than it was fine. Then after getting pretty frustrated with vista I just deleted the partition in XP. Thinking everthing would be fine, I booted my comp. and it still wants to boot to vista, but theres nothing there. I want it to just go straight to XP. And also, since I made it to where I could read my files in vista, I cant read My Documents in XP, it says I dont have the right to read it, but I am the one and only admin on XP. .

Is it possible to make an image backup with this operating system?
Also if a file backup completes successfully and is backed up on a network drive will I be able to restore from a new install of window vista premium on the same laptop that was backed up to the network drive? Is there a better way using vista premium? I have Norton Ghost 12.0 on my desktop but not on the laptop with vista premium. Don't what to have to buy a license for laptop if there is another way to make sure in case of a failure of the operating system that I could recover by an full backup or image ? I do some beta testing and do not want to spend hours re-loading software.

I turned it off to install a program because it required the UAC to be off, not I try and turn it on by going Control Panel > User Accounts > Turn User Account Control on or off > Continue > then ticking the box and pressing OK. I pressed Turn User Account Control on or off > Continue and find that it is not ticked and UAC is NOT on. I keep ticking the box and going OK but it just doesn't turn on.

Due to an Office Enterprise issue that can only be resolved with a clean re-install of Vista on an ACER computer rather than re-installing the ACER factory load I have bought a Full version of VISTA Home Preimum so that I can do a CLEAN install. I have 3 partitions on my HD C, D & hidden, the hidden contains the factory load. My plan is to run a full back up to D as well as copies of my files. I will also make copies of my files off computer. I do have the ACER recovery disks but I hope to never have to use them. When I am all backed up I would like to format C, get rid of the hidden partition, keep D, put the VISTA DVD into the drive and do a clean install of VISTA on C. I could be wrong but I think that it would be best to format before putting the VISTA disk into the drive so there is no confusion between product keys etc. this is not an upgrade it is the same version that ACER supplied.

Maybe this is a dumb question, I don't know. I reformat my computer about twice a year to keep things ship shape and one of the most annoying things about it is getting back all the windows / microsoft updates. Is it possible to back up all the updates you have on your computer to speed things up?
Also, if I have Vista SP1 as my install disk, and have SP2 saved to a disk can I just go ahead and put SP2 on right away or do you have to get all the little in between updates that came out before SP2?

Currently I backup my entire C directory and the D recovery to a Clickfree 320g external drive. Is this the best approach? I am assuming that in taking that approach the OS is also backed up and given the worst case that I must reinstall the OS I can get back to pre-event status given it's all backed up. Anyway what is the best approach to" Back-up"?

Installed I E 8 and all looks very nice. However certain things are now not working properly. The main one is Facebook. Is this coincidence or are other people having a similar problem ?. Windows Media Player is also going a bit haywire by not playing random selections . Have not had any problems before so it looks like the Beta I E 8 is not compatible with vbista at this moment. Can anybody tell me how to uninstall I E8 and go back to 7.

when I have Vista go into "Sleep" I am un-able to wake it back up. I have tried everything from moving the mouse to hitting just about every button. In the end I simply have to restart the computer. Right now I use my laptop a lot and sleep comes in handy for me. I have a 1.7 CPU, 2 GB RAM on the 32-Bit OS.
My second problem deals with the row of HP QuickPlay buttons that came stock with my dv2000 series HP Laptop. The buttons themselves work but I no longer get any kind of notification of the action. For instance when I hit the mute button it no longer turns red. I have tried updating the driver and that did not work. Any thoughts? One last thing. In my opinion the Vista "sound", "battery" and "Wireless Network" buttons on the task bar look like shit. Does any one know how to replace them?

I haven't gotten a reply back on the lost messages that I posted, but some of the important ones are still here in OE. So I would like to come back to my OE. I've had it with Vista.
How can I do an export from Vista's Windows Mail and then import them back into Outlook Express ? I saw PA Bears note about doing a drag and drop of ".eml files but how do they convert to the .dbx format for OE ?

Then upgraded the OS to Windows Vista Home Basic by purchasing the full upgrade of Windows Vista Home Basic with a new COA. Now, the computer loads very slow and they want it back to XP. If ever I uninstall Vista on that computer, and re-install Windows XP can I use the old COA of the computer on that PC?; and Will I be able to use the Vista COA on another PC?
