Backup Failed, Chkdsk And Sfc, Sidebar Settings.ini Missing
Dec 25, 2008
When I tried to make a backup I've got an error message saying:
Backup failed
0*80070017 cyclic redundancy control failed
I've searched the net for that code and they suggested chkdsk, I've done that and ran sfc/scannow with elevated privileges. Sfc did correct some problems but there is one problem he could not repair. I've looked at the log in c:windowslogscbs and searched with the tag [SR] to narrow down, and there was a problem that occured several times.
Windows SIdebar settings.ini is corrupt or missing (64-32bit program files) and when sfc tries to look for backup of the source file it also stated that this one is corrupted. So I was wondering I've someone knows a method to correct this? Maybe if there is a way to reinstall the sidebar my problem could be solved (?) I can't use System restore because I recently deleted those checkpoints, because of an space lack on that partition.

My Windows Sidebar contains:
en-US folder
Gadgets folder
Shared Gadgets folder
sbdrop.dll
settings.ini
sidebar.exe
wlsrvc.dll
My Friends Sidebar contains;
Gadgets folder
ExerienceCenter folder
Images folder
js folder
Both work O.K. My friends sfc /scannow reports reports a problem. The CBS,log reports that the sidebar settings.ini file can not be repaired. But there is none.

I turned on my computer this morning, put in my password in the log-in screen as usual. Then when windows started I noticed that my wallpaper was the original vista wallpaper, all my sidebar gadgets were just the starting ones, and that about half my desktop shortcuts were missing. On top of that, all my documents, pictures, music, and even my bookmarks on mozilla firefox were gone!! But oddly enough when I go into C:/users/Matt everything is where it should be. But if i use the links from the start bar, it takes me to Users/Temp folder.

I figured I'm gonna have many questions so I signed up. Here's my first one. I just purchased Uniblue's Registry Booster 2009. I ran a registry scan, and my system has over 300 errors. I'm trying to clean it but this application says "Your system settings prohibit you from doing a registry backup" when I click the "Clean registry button." How do I change those settings? Can someone give me detailed instructions on how to adjust system settings to enable registry backups?

I am having problems backing up using Vista Home Premium. For some reason I am unable to change my backup settings to enable me to save to anything other than my "D" drive. Ideally I would like to save to the "C" on my PC but when trying to do so I get the following text. File backup could not save your automatic backup settings for the following reasons: Your backup configuration is not valid. Review your backup settings (0x81000029)

I had to update my External Verbatim E drive as it was Full Disc. I now use WD Elements but i reformatted it to use on my Backup an Restore Auto BU. It backs up half my files then stops with this error message 0X81000014. Which says i don't have enough E drive disk space. Which is incorrect as i have 229 free of 298 GB on External E Drive. Also i had this error code 0X8007005>> Denied Access which i fixed. I tried several times same error message 0X8100014 pops up? I have never had this problem before with Verbatim.

Last week I upgraded a HPxw4400X workstation from WinXP Pro w/SP3 to Vista Business. I did a full backup and also used FAST (files and settings transfer wizard). However, I soon found out that the DVD drive was "broke". HP told me it was because of the upgrade. They said to do a fresh install. Did another backup, fresh install, then a restore. Had lots of problems with BSOD, but a selective restore got it working again. But he can't see MS Office, nor navigate to it. I can see it when logged in as an admin. I thought of copying files and folders between profiles (he has 3 of 'em - , ., and ..000). The former is the oldest so I thought I could copy the App Data and User Data over it'd work (in both Documents and Settings, and Users), but it didn't work. I've been here working on various issues for 28 hours, so I'm not thinking as clearly as I'd like.

Accidentally deleted this folder from C:, and tho I have the files for it on D: (the green 'documents' folder), I cannot access them by clicking start/documents.
How do I fix this blunder ?
Also, probably a post here somewhere, but I tried to do a system restore in the hope that would fix it, but have no restore points...thought this was done automatically?

I try to do a backup and after selecting the drive I want it backed up to and
it starts, almost immediately I get the following: The backup failed. Failure in a Volume Shadow Copy Service operation. (0x807800A1). Additional Information: The writer experienced a non-transient error. If the backup process is retried, the error is likely to reoccur. (0x800423F4). I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 and the drive I'm trying to back up to is just a secondary SATA drive.

We recently had a need to replace a hard disk. Our original files were all backed up with Windows Vista Backup. The backup process produced no errors and appeared to complete successfully. However, when we restored the backup to the new hard drive, we found that there were many missing files. To this point, it appears that the missing files are all .EXE files. In many cases, all the files were restored to a folder, except for the executable (.exe). We know that these files existed when the Windows Vista Backup was performed on the original hard disk. Moreover, we backuped the same files later using a different program and have confirmed the files were there.
Is anyone aware of a problem where Windows Vista Backup is either NOT backing up all the files or is NOT restoring all the files? Furthermore, it is odd that this seems to have affected only certain files which brings us to wonder if our security software could have blocked files somehow without our knowledge

The backup is not failing, it says it's complete, but the file that it creates is less than 70GB, and my drive is 225GB full out of 279GB. The machine is running Vista Ultimate and running Vista Media Center. 157GB of the files are recorded shows, my music and pictures. I'm expecting a file closer to 225GB, especially since media files don't compress well (if this program compresses).
I find it awfully coincidental that 225 - 157 = 68, which is about the size of my backup file. The bigger problem is that I can't use the backup it creates. When I go to the restore operation, it finds the backup, I hit start and get back Restore Failed, element not found 0x80070490, which leads me to believe the backup is incomplete.

I have been having serious difficulty getting my laptop to start in the last few months but have usually been able to solve the problems for a while until they come back but now I am faced with a new boot issue that I cannot fix.
When I turn on the laptop, after about 5 minutes I get the message "windows failed to start because the system registry file is missing or corrupt" and gives this location windowssystem32configsystem and also status: oxc000000f. I am instructed to boot from the vista dvd and repair windows, startup problems or whatever but when I try this I get the exact same message described above.
I have had a lot of startup problems recently but they have always been solved either by booting from the dvd and reparing startup problems, or more commonly, by running the chkdisk which would generally have my laptop running well for a week or so before new problems occurred. I've searched the web but people keep suggesting booting from the vista dvd which as I said isnt working. No matter what I try I get the same message, safe mode etc will also not work.

I boot up my computer today and up pops a message about my bootmbr being missing. I, figuring this was quite bad, stuck in the ol' vista installation disk to run a startup repair. It does its thing, says its successful and tells me to reboot. I do, and get a new message at startup, saying,"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause...
File: Windowssystem32
tkrnlpa.exe
Status: 0xc0000428
Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature of this file"
So I figure I'm getting somewhere, load the disk repair, and I get "Startup repair could not repair the problem." along with other steps i should take to "send it to microsoft"() So now i run commands like chkdsk /p,bootmbr,bootfix (I've done this before). NONE of these do a darn thing to solve my problem. (Ive done the F8 thing with the load drivers w/o signatures; didnt work.) So, I figure i should take matters into my own hands. So i open up a CMD, and copy a ntkrnlpa.exe from my install disk and replace it with the one on my hard drive. Logical? I thought so. But same results. Except for one thing, when the repair thing runs again, the details say that the file "pshed.dll" is corrupt. I replace this one, doesnt work, and then says the ntoskrnl.exe is corrupt too.... I replace this one as well, but this one has remained corrupt. I sometimes get a new message when running the startup repair. System volume on disk is corrupt. But other times I get "Boot status indicates that the OS booted successfully." So Ive pretty much used all I can think of, short of booting BartPE and copying my important files and reinstalling. One more thing that happened. Last night (when everything was running smoothly) diskeeper did a boot time defrag. I think something went wrong and this is what is causing all this trouble.

I installed Halo 2 and when I click to play the game, I get an error that says: Initialization failed. Either insuffecient resources were found to run the game, or game data is missing or damaged. Reinstalling the game may fix this problem. Now I tried reinstalling the game and this error still comes up.

I have the Home Premium edition and recently I received the following error:
File: WindowsSystem32tkrnlpa.exe
Status: 0xc0000001
Info: Windows Failed To Load Because The Kernel Is Missing, Or Corrupt
It tells me to insert my installation disc and restart your computer however when I do that I go right back to the previous screen which I just described. I already changed the boot order to boot from the DVD drive first however it continues to skip this screen and keeps looping to the same screen. Does anyone know another way to load my disc so I can continue with the repair?.

when i turn on my computer, an error message comes saying "Windows failed to load because a file is missing or corrupt File: Netio.sys Status: 0xc0000221" This started when i was clearing my computer of useless programs, and after i deleted Realtime player or Quicktime player, (can't remember which) an error message jumped from the taskbar saying something about Network device driver. After that every time i start the computer, the "Windows failed to load" message pops up. The first half a year, it was solved by pressing enter, to "Choose an operating system to start: Windows Vista" and then to "Windows error recovery (start windows normally, safe mode etc)" and back to "Windows failed to start", repeating it 3-20 times. Then i had a familiar "Unexpected shutdown" during a game, and now, the "Enter spamming technique" doesn't work anymore. All i can access at the moment is Windows memory diagnostic tool, and Bios setup utility. Is there any way to fix this through the setup utility or some other manner?

I started getting this message when the computer boots (and my husband says it jumped up in the middle of something he was doing, so he shut it down)
CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3) deleting corrupt attribute record (128, "")from file record segment 92792
What does it mean, what is causing it, what do I need to do and how do I keep it from happening again?

I purchased a Dell XPS M1330 with window vista 64 bit around Nov' 2008. I was so happy with my computer and was using it until it crashed on me last month =[Dell support told me that my hard drive was crashed so I was trying to get access to my pictures from my old external hard drive... However my Western Digital External Hard drive 500 GB has given me a hard time to access. [. I've tried many different ways to access my external hard drive but I have not been able to access it at all. I have tried
1. device manage -> designated the drive as J:
2. tried using CHKDSK j: /r/f -> but aborted due to unknown reason
3. tried using CHKDsK j: /r/x -> insufficient disk space to repair master file table mirrors; CHKDSK aborted. (I've done these methods by searching online... xD)

Here is my situation and I do not know what is the cause. In the past week four out of five times when I boot up my Vista computer after the initial post Vista is invoked. During the boot process the program wants to run CHKDSK because it says there is some problem on my c drive. Chkdsk goes through all steps and when done and reports the status of what it did it reports no bad sectors, nothing being repaired. Vista then restarts and then goes as though there were no problems. The next time I boot up if on the same day it will usually not request to run chkdsk. However, after the PC has been shut down for a period and then booted up CHKDSK will then again be run unless I abort the process.

chkdsk won't run at startup. Vista Business SP1, Lenovo 30000 N100. I've tried everything including:
- command line chkdsk c: /F
- sfc /scannow
- chkntfs (which says C: is dirty)
- changing registry .../Session Manager/BootExedute value to "autocheck autochk *"
- replacing autochk.exe with 6.0.6001.18000 version
- safe mode boot & command line chkdsk c: /F

DD has a HP Pavilion dv2000. Last week it starting saying that chkdsk needed to run on start up (there might be a problem). At first it ran to 4% and then stopped - appears to freeze. She left it running all night and then brought it to me. I let run over 5 hours.

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??
