I occasionally (every 3 months) back up my hard drives (I am using three computers, all similarly configured) to an external storage device. I tend to back up the My Documents folders somewhat more frequently (monthly). My two desktops are Vista 64s, and the laptop is a Vista 32-bit. I use the laptop as the master, so to speak, and will occasionally update the My Documents folders of the desktops from this machine.
I sometimes overwrite the same file on the desktops with an older file from the laptop. What I would really like is an easy to use piece of software that updates a file only if it is newer (later time stamp) than what is being updated. This would run much more quickly, and also prevent me from overwriting newer files.
Where does Vista HP x64 hide the default icon images (ie. the little images for CDs and Hard Drives you see on the "My Computer" window. I got a new HD which has a custom image icon, which I'd like to change to the standard default HD icon, but don't know it's location!
In the XP operating system when I wanted to find the storage locatioon of a file I could right click on the file-click properties and show the target location. In visa it seems that when I try the same thing the Path to the target is not visible. How do I find the target path?
I did a complete PC backup of my system onto an external USB HDD using the backup facility in VISTA Ultimate. When I went to do a complete PC restore I am told form the Help info on VISTA Ultimate to restart my computer, push F8 and choose the 'repair' option to run the restore. WHen I do this I get the safe mode options, debugging mode etc etc but there is no 'repair' mode. How do I get to the repair mode??
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to enable secure nightly backups to remote computers that are behind a firewall? Here's the scenario. Each member of my family owns at least one computer. We all have broadband access and plenty of available storage on our PC's. It would be really nice if we could leverage all of this available storage for a true backup solution in different locations.
This has been driving me crazy. After spending about 4 hours trying to get it to work, Vista refuses to back up my computer. I keep getting this box:
I have done all I know how to do, including creating a partition bigger than the one my OS is housed on (500gbs) and it is still not big enough apparently. The Seven backup worked amazingly, but Vista seems to not like it.
I have vista home premium and a new Laptop. I need to make System Backups (complete drive c I realize that Toshiba put so much junk software on my new laptop but could not see it's way to include a System Backup.
I currently do a complete PC backup with Vista Ultimate 32 bit to an external hard drive. I am buying a new computer with an Intel® Core™ i7-920 Processor and Intel® DX58 Chipset. I believe this is a 64 bit system. Two questions... First of all, can I restore my 32 bit files to it? and secondly, my new computer has a larger hard drive. Is the larger hard drive a problem when restoring?
I am running Vista Home Premium 32 SP3 and use an HP 500 GB Personal Media Drive (PMD) for backing up the machine. I only have 88 GB of used space on my 325 GB drive C, yet the backup of the files and folders on drive C appears to be *much* larger than 88 GB. For example, when I click on the drive letter, L, of the PMD and click Properties, I find that there is 294 GB of used space and only 171 GB of free space. I.e., over half the space on the PMD has been used up.
Yet when I use Windows Explorer to ascertain the Properties of each folder on the PMD drive, with Show Hidden System Files turned on, the content of all eight folders only adds up to approximately 4 GB of data. What is going on here? Why has so much of the PMD been taken up by what appear to be ghost files or folders? When I use Windows Explorer to check the Properties of the individual backup folders on the PMD, of which there are at least one for every day since I started using the PMD to back up my desktop, every single folder shows 0 bytes for its content. I just don't get it!
I have a WD MyBook 1TB external hard drive. It's a replacement for a LaCie drive that I broke accidentally. Because I broke my LaCie, which held all my backups, I need to do a full system backup so I have one on file. (I'm running Windows Vista Business SP1 on a Compaq Presario laptop. I've tried this both before and after SP1 and have got the same result.)
The weekly file-only backups I have scheduled with Windows Backup work fine. It's only the full system backup that gives me problems. Everything goes as planned: I select the MyBook as the destination, and Windows starts the backup. Once it gets near the end (I'd say about 90% done according to the status bar), I get the blue crash screen. Here's what it says: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Stop: 0X000000D1 (0X00000004, 0X00000002, 0X00000001, 0C807503FF)nvstor.sys - Address 807503FF base at 8074C000, DateStamp 458d543d It doesn't restart after that, it just sticks on the blue screen. I have to shut the computer off and then turn it back on to do anything.Can anyone clue me in on what might be going on? I thought maybe my driver was out of date, but Windows Update can't find a newer one, neither can it when I go into the device's properties. Unless I'm missing something there, or it's something other than a driver issue.
I have been successfully backing-up to my Freecom hard drive classic 3.5 500GB via Windows Live however the drive keeps on filling up rather than overwriting/updating the current data, which is what I'd assumed was supposed to happen. Is this how it goes or have I missed something? The only option I have is to delete the current data and start again every month which is a bit of a pain!
Is there a registry setting to change the default right click 'save picture as' location in IE7 / Vista. Would like to change from (my pictures) to (Desktop)
I have a 720GB internal drive that I've maxed out with automated weekly backups. I have another drive with a lot of space, and my question is, can Vista backup be set to continue the existing backup onto an additional drive. In other words, the backup files would be spread over two drives?
I always use vista complete backup (Disk Image) to backup both my hard disks, but I am a bit confused as to the restore options. Basically, I have a sneaky suspition that one of the drives is going to fail in the near future, so I backup quite regularly, but when I replace it, I want to get a bigger drive, as it's only a 150gig raptor, and I really would prefer a 500 or 1TB 7200rpm drive for storage.
Can vista restore the files I backed up on D: (the 150gig) to a new D: which would be a large disk ? If it can, could I also do the same for C: which is where vista is located? If that doesn't work,
1 month from purchase my C drive was full all 68GB ??? no music, no videos. I use disk clean-up and a miserly 3mb are cleared. I search the drive for every file >1kb giving the total of all files hidden and not as 16GB. I try the computer tools/storage to ascertain why it???s full, disk rescan. I try number of things but nothing. The next day I reboot the laptop and as if by magic I have 52GB space capacity. 1 month I am at the time point 1GB spare capacity, I use TreeSize that tells me I have files totally 17GB. Why is Vista telling me I have no space left?
I have just started using WLM, it is having a folder named as `Storage Folders`. What is purpose of this folder?? How can i remove it? Actually i upgraded from WM to WLM and now WLM is having this storage folder containing all the mails from WM. As the `Storage Folders` is not linked to any email account, i transfer the mails from it to the appropriate email account folder. But now i am unable to delete this Storage Folder, even i cant delete any item in its heirarchy..
I am using windows XP and i want to disable the usb port (i dont want it to detect flash memories or external storage devices) but at the same time i want it to detect the usb printer, so i cant totally disable the usb port ...
Under Device Manager there is a ! next to MASS STORAGE CONTROLLER (MSC). When I check on it, the message is that there is no driver and it is not working properly because it has a problem. I tried searching for a driver with no luck. What does A MSC do and how do I find a driver? There is no brand name listed for it.
I am looking for some network storage device. I was looking into the Hp media smart server but too expensive. Some thing that can be accessed independently from each PC on the network.
I have lost one of my storage folders in Windows Live Mail. Don't know why. This folder is there under Storage Folders for Windows Live Mail: C:Users\AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindows Live Mail, but it does not show up in the Mail program.
This is really mysterious. I have an external 2.5" USB drive and for god's sake I cannot safely remove it from my Vista ultimate 64bit system! I copied something on it and I am quite sure, that safely remove is good to do, because I use such drives for some time already and I already lost some files when it was not done (my computer froze something)! Process explorer shows nothing when I search for my drive letter. I tried some unlocker utility, but it does not make it's context menu.maybe after restart it will :- I disabled indexing for fast search on this drive, but nothing changed.Maybe system restore?.
Problem ejecting USB Mass Storage Device - My Drive M: See my System Specs. I have just finished a session between my C: and M: Drives, well at least I thought so. When I tried to Safely Remove Hardware, I get the following Error window;
Questions; Is there a way or shortcut that I can use to find which programs or windows are still using the Drive? Will potential problems result if I just do a 'hard' close-down?, ie >Start>Switch Off button ='Closes all open Programs, Shuts down Windows, turns off Computer'. Will the same apply if I do a >Start>Restart, close-down and restart procedure? I have attempted to Safely Remove Drive M: via the Icon in the Notification Tray, and through Device Manager, but the results as shown above are the same.

I rarely want to save an email. When I do, I drag it into the "drafts" folder. Meanwhile, Vista is saving every email I have received since I bought this computer and went online. Why? I don't want them. I delete them after reading every day, even using the "shift-delete" permanent(?) method. Yet all the emails are stored in some "indexed location", taking up space. how to stop this constant storage by Vista? I have tried to delete the old emails but they never go away.
when I copy a url from a draft file storage, and enter it to create mail, and then send it, the url doesn't activate in the received version. I need to retype the url in the create mail stage in order for it to work for the recepient.
I have a "storage" drive (seagate sata 3.0gb, 320gb) with lots of files which was previously used (as a storage drive) with my xp pro 32 install, and after that, with my linux system via fuse+ntfs-3g. This drive is mountable in linux still, and all files appear to be intact. I would like to share this storage drive between my dual boot Vista Ultimate/Debian Etch (both 64) system, but if it is connected while trying to boot vista, vista will stop after the "loading" screen, and rest eternally on a black screen, before any welcome logo or logon screen.Without this drive connected, vista boots fine. Without my linux drive connected, and with the storage drive connected, vista still will not boot. Vista even sees my linux drive and all its partitions, but will not boot with the storage drive attached. I've tried booting and *then* connecting the drive, but it doesn't show up anywhere at all (my computer, device manager, disk management).I've searched EVERYWHERE for the last several months (ever since i bought vista near the end of september '07) and have found absolutely Zero clues as to why this is happening or how to fix it.
I'm trying to use a 4G USB storage for transferring files from an XP platform to a Vista platform. I'm finding something very funny. I copy the files to the storage (and I can see and open them on the XP machine). Than I put the USB storage on the Vista machine. I can see again the files but I cannot open them (the files seem to be corrupted). Finally I put the USB storage on the XP and I see that the files are corrupted. It looks like Vista has corrupted my files. I'm using the same USB storage for transferring files between XP machines without any problem.
