I have a LaCie 2TB external drive that I use to backup my internal drives using Acronis TI. On WinXP I was using Firewire800 and it worked flawlessly. When I switched to Windows 7 the Firewire800 transfer speed dropped dramatically. I've contacted LaCie and they say they can't guarantee Firewire800 with Windows7. I switched back to using USB and it works, but still slow. Would it be worth my while to install and run my TI backups via Firewire in virtual XP mode? Will this in fact work?
ps. does anyone foresee better future support in Windows7 for Firewire800?
I like the snippet tool, about time, wish there was a key shortcut, similar to OS X -
Anyway, I see in device driver that FIREWIRE sets up fine (TEXAS INSTRUMENTS) on my INTEL motherboard, but the device, high end Mackie firewire device, does not work.
Installed the MACKIE ASIO driver and nothing, not even a POP UP saying NEW DEVICE found.
This is a shame if this turns out to be true as the lack of Vista driver (more than one year after Vista came out), made me go to a Mac for the past year.
Was hoping the vista driver would work, especially since it's a standard ASIO audio driver for Vista.
I routinely get the "This device is currently in use" message when I try to eject an external drive from my Windows 7 64-bit OS. I have no idea what program might be accessing the drive to cause that message. How do I find out? I can, of course, reboot, but that shouldn't be necessary.
I bought a two new firewire cards for two desktops as I transfer quite a bit of media between them regularly...When I connected them, they showed up in the device manager, however there is no network being created, so I can't start a transfer..I have searched and searched but I can't find any good info on how to create a firewire network within windows 7! I may be way off here, or missing a trick, but I need some information.
I was wondering if there is a firewire card for windows 7 and what the number is of it and where I can find one. Need it to download video from JVC camcotder.
Few weeks ago I bought an external audio interface Focusrite Saffire PRO 24 DSP. It's a firewire hardware and while using it I ocasionally get BSOD. Tried using it with both enabled and disabled onboard realtek chip but that does not solve the problem. I installed the newest software/drivers provided by Focusrite but the problem still exists.OS: Windows 7 Professional x64 CPU: Phenom II X4 945Motherboard: ASUS M4A89GTD-PRO/USB3 Memory: 2x2GB GoodRAM 1333MHz Graphics: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 560 Ti Sound Card: Focusrite Saffire PRO 24 DSP Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster BX2240 Resolution: 1920x1080Hard Drives: Western Digital:WD3200YSWD20EARSWD6400AACS PSU: Chieftec GPS-650A Case: Fractal Design Define R3 Mouse: Logitech G700
I'm having a problem when I connect or disconnect my firewire cable I get a BSOD. I'm not sure what to do. I think I have the latest drivers for firewire.
Canon camera has firewire port but computer only has USB. Is there a cable that has firewire connection on one end for the camera connection and a USB connection for the computer?
I have a HP built box that I purchased less than a year ago. The hard drive died, along with the motherboard.I purchased a new hard drive and the full version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit and had the shop replace the MB, Install the new hard drive and O/S.The motherboard is an ASUS M4A785-M, with an on-board Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (according to Windows Device Manager).I have a couple of additional cards installed, one is an eSata controller for an external hard drive and the other is a SIIG DP FireWire 800 3-Port PCIe card.I initially installed the SIIG because the FireWire chip set is Texas Instruments, because I have a PreSonus Firestudio Mobile (sound card, recording hardware)and it only plays nicely with Texas Instruments. The SIIG card shows up in Device Manager under IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers as "Texas Instruments 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller", which I "assume" is correct?
My problem is the PreSonus hardware refuses show up in Device Manager or initialize (there is an indicator light on the front of the unit that will glow blue when it is connected or flash blue-red when it isn't). PreSonus has a driver set for the Firestudio Mobile, that is called Universal Control.I have attempted to install Universal Control several times, but each attempt has resulted in failure, with the Driver version showing 0.0.0 etc. I realize this is the problem, but I have no idea how to force the issue.If I could get the PreSonus drivers to install, I would be home free (I think).he PreSonus hardware should show up in Device Manager under Sound, video and game controllers, but it doesn't.I have also posted about the issue on the PreSonus forum, but haven't had any solutions posted.This computer and the hardware are what I use to run my Recording Studio and without the Firestudio, I am effectively out of business.I should also note, that I haven't even installed any other software beyond windows 7, other than a couple of utilities. Not even my DAW or the drivers for my peripheral midi devices.
I have a new computer running Windows 7. It is functioning well, apart from the firewire card not being recognized. Pages on the web offering advice on this kind of problems start their solutions with going to the device manager and expanding the "IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers" node in the device tree. Only I don't have such a node. How can I get the "IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers" node to appear in the device manager?
My motherboard doesn't have firewire, and for the life of me i can't find a single expansion card that has an internal pinout that I can connect the cable for my front firewire port to. The closest I found was not low-profile compatible.and this is for the computer in my description, but on monday I'm switching out the case for a low profile hec 7K09 HTPC case.
have an older dv camera (JVC GR-DVL820EA) and would like to run it on py dual core pc with windows 7 professional. I installed my video editing software and a new firewire card and when booted it up said it couldn't install driver. Later on it said that this version of windows doesn't support firewire.
Right now I have an old 500 GB that I use for my backups. When I want to make a backup I open my case, start the computer, attach the drive to a SATA cable, make an image with Macrium Reflect Free, shut down the computer, remove the drive, close the case and restart the system. I also take the drive to my daughter's place from time to time to make an image of her system to my 500 GB drive using the same method. This is not a lot of work but it is not very convenient.I would like to get basic understanding of how a NAS drive works.The WD Live seems to be popular. Is that a good choice? If I understand correctly, I would attach such a drive to my router and then I could access it from my computer or my daughter's computer. Am I correct?Could I still use Macrium Reflect to make an image to that drive?Is the software that comes with the drive reliable regarding security. Obviously I want my data to be only accessible from my daughter's computer or mine.
I have a new HP Pavilion g7-1260us Notebook PC running Windows Home Premium 64bitFrom about the second day of use the HP_TOOLS(E:) has been warning me that it is almost full. I think it is performing back ups to this partition. Anyone have clue what is happening or what I should do about it? This is my first laptop and first HP PC, so unfamiliar with their jargon. Is this some sort of bloat or what? What is the purpose of this (E:)
i have had my self built pc working for ages, and yesterday it just went into a restart with no warning and now only loops startup repair, which fails. i have tried the windows 7 disk, but i cant do a system restore, since it cant find any backups. is there anyway to get this to stop?
I have three PC's all on Windows 7 running on a home network. I have a good PC which has been replaced, which I would like to put on the network with four hard drives, I would like to backup the data from each PC onto its own HD in the PC.
I have looked at several programs to effect a real time backup system but need some advice at to which to use. (preferably a freeby as being retired money is short) If possible I would like to be able to restore each program data seperately if required, rather than have to restore all the backed up data to a certain PC as one file. Any help gratefully rec'd.
Backup and Restore. Windows Vista's stellar backup and restore features have been streamlined and simplified in Windows 7. Like its predecessor, Windows 7 supports both data backup and image-based system backup, but now the UIs are more segregated.
So, as long as I back up my files using back up and restore then when RC1 comes along I just install then restore and all will be the same as beta was before nuking it? Sounds simple enough what could possibly go wrong that is my question. I am using a usb flash drive for backing up. Will there be a conflict between Fat and NTFS ?
i just got a new 320gb hard drive for my thinkpad and installed it with no problems, and then did a clean install of windows 7. everything is working fine, but i'm wondering about setting up partitions and backups.
i back up my files to an external hard drive every couple weeks or so. i don't have anything set up on my laptop, though.
should i set up a partition on my laptop to create a backup?
how big should the partition be?
can i set it up even though i've already installed and formatted the drive?
I just realized that stereo output is inverted (L&R are swapped) on my Realtek front panel headphones connector and on my M-Audio Firewire card. Output is OK on Realtek rear main/front speakers connector.
on my new hp laptop i used to do schedueled backups on my elements wd external hard drive regularly but suddenly it stopped completing backups because as soon as it gets around 70% my windows restarts the drive it happened 20 times already
I currently have a hard drive set as a backup drive but am getting the message that there's no room left on the drive to write the new backups. I have to go in and manually delete the old backups. Is there anyway Windows 7 can automatically do this to so that it can write the new ones? I couldn't find any and after searching Google it doesn't look like it's possible. Is there any way through Task Scheduler maybe?
I have 2 seperate computers both running Windows 7 and ie9 I would like to merge the 2 Favourites folders in ie9, so that they are both the same on each computer.I have tried backing up one and importing it into the other but it just overides the original.Can it be done in Windows 7?
If you create an image of Windows 7, the programs and files can you then use this to add scheduled regular backups of changed files and then be able to restore if needed?
