I have big file (133Gb) backup file on my hard drive and I wanted to move this to external hard drive (Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Drive). When I tried it to move or copy to the external I've got message: Error 0x8007045D: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. I was looking online for some help and I found some advice that I have to make chkdsk in cmd mode but when I tried I've got message: "Chkdsk" is not recognized as a internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I don't know how to solve this problem. Can someone help me? My OS is win 7 Enterprise x86.
I have a huge problem. I've been trying to download a resource pack for a program and it says, 'you don't have write privileges to directory, But when I check in the Properties it says I'm the Owner. I REALLY need to get this downloaded and have no idea what to do. Now I've been trying to delete the folder and start all over again, and of course I can't do that either.

Just wondering what or if I could move an xp backup onto a raid 0 drive. I did setup the drives in raid in the bios, and they show as raid. I booted into my marcium backup and ran my xp backup onto the drive, that showed in marcium as a raid 0 drive. When I booted, which went fine, into xp it shows in disk management as raid 0. But the problem is, it shows two drives, together and the 2nd drive as being un partitioned. Therefore I'm only running on one drive. Is this fixable, or do I need a clean install?
I purchased a larger external hdd for my Win 7 Backup. I would like to move or copy the existing Win 7 Backup/Restore files to the new external hdd to freeup the old external drive for other data. Do you just copy the Backup folders on the old hdd to the new drive? Strangely, the Win 7 Backup folders' properties show zero bytes. I have restored files / folders from the Backup files, so I know they are not empty.
I'm having an issue with my tower that I built and I'm wondering if starting with a fresh OS installation will do the trick. My current setup is one hard drive for nothing but the OS and programs and multiple other drives to save files to. My issue is that I use the Windows Backup utility to backup the drives that contain important information. If I were to install a fresh copy of the OS, I imagine that the system wouldn't realize that I've performed a backup on the other drives before and would want to do a complete backup all over again rather than being able to do an incremental backup. Is there a way to backup the settings and log files of the Windows Backup utility to move to the new OS? The drive letters and everything else will be the exact same as they are right now. This also makes me curios of how other backup programs behave when the OS has to be reinstalled.
I would like to come up with a way to provide a full backup computer to my customers (offline, process control application). Currently doing this with WinXP and a hot-swap RAID-1 enclosure. If anything in computer1 dies, can quickly move the cables and the drive over to computer2, boot up and keep running. Now moving to Windows 7, more strict activation issues. Getting a separate windows license for each computer is not a problem, but how to either change the license key easily after the swap, or avoid activation altogether? Typical system is offline, possibly abroad and would like to make the failover as easy as possibly for customers.
I am running Windows 8. I know this forum is for Windows 7, but the Windows 8 forum is under developed and doesn't really have any members yet.I am selling my laptop, so I'm installing Windows 7 since I have Windows 8 now. I was going to install it off a flash drive. Every time I go to try to transfer the Windows 7 Starter files onto the flash drive, I can't transfer 1 file. It says I need to permission to move it
I'm not sure if this may be more of a vmware issue, but I figured I'd start here. Basically I have a 56gig vmdk file, that refuses to move. The vm is not broken at all and works fine. I've moved several vm's off my laptop drive onto this new usb drive. I'm working with an alienware m11x r3 with a 750gb 7200rpm drive & a usb 3.0 wd my passport external drive that IS using drive compression. (blue text for file/folder names) I've tried to move this file via explorer and tera copy. both fail. in the explorer scenario, I've burnt at least the weekend attempting to get this file off my drive. in a few cases it gets down to just a smidgen of space in the transfer progress bar with a 'theoretical hour remaining', but that was 10 hours ago. when I'd look in resource manager,it starts off in a normal read from c drive and write to d drive action. but at the end, it is just writing, and its moving at like 700kb a sec.
I got problem with my 2nd laptop. I can't defrag my computer. That's all. They say they can't move file. It's not a system file. And I'm using admin account to defrag HDD. I tried various defragger. Such as Auslogics and IObit.
Let's say, I am moving a file from a folder to another or changing a file's name.These changes do not show in Explorer unless I right click and select refresh.Has this happened to anyone?
I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on a SSD (120 GB Intel X-25M), and now I'm juggling with the dilemma of what to do with the page file. There doesn't seem to be a consensus on this issue from my internet research.Here's the situation as it stands: I have 8GB of RAM, and windows has created a 8GB page file.
1) Keep everything as is 2) Move the page file to another hdd (a WD caviar black) 3) Keep the page file on the SSD, but shrink it to 1 or 2GB
(Some people simply disabled their page file. I've ruled out this option as overkill)
a. Page file will will shorten SSD life span b. counter-argument: maybe, but that is an over-blown concern for modern SSDs c. If you have enough RAM (8 gigs is certainly that), the page file is useless
Most of my research was from 2009 threads and discussions though. Have things changed? Is there a better understanding of this topic now to render a verdict? I'm leaning towards shrinking my page file to 2GB (and leave it on the SSD) as a compromise between every concern.
before my hard drive crashed I had a freeware program that allowed me to right click on file or folder and move or copy to any place on computer. I lost it and can not find.
I just installed a new SSD. Should i disable or move the page file? I currently have it disabled.. My system has 24GB of ram.. If i should have it enable.. how do i tell it to use a different drive?
Since 2 days, in a certain folder, I cant rename, move or delete folders or files. Now, it has spread to my desktop as well. If I rename a folder, even a new folder, the name changes ''magically'' within seconds to restore to its previous name. If I move the folder or file, it comes back and if I delete it, it restores. I tried to make a system restore, even format (!), the problem persists. I use this folder to tag and rename my new mp3s so I have to be able to 1) rename, 2) move the folders the files and folders in it.
i have 4gb ram and 2 hard drives on my computer, one is 10000rpm 32GB velociraptor used as a system disk and second is 7200rpm WD 500gb! I want to move paging file to the second disc because of low space on system drive! I know how to do that but i want to know the correct way of doing this! Because some resources claims that it is good to keep around 1GB on the OS drive because Windows needs still some pagefile space on the OS drive i.e. url...somwhere i've read to left the minimum paging file on the system drive which is i mean 16mb and some resources claims that the correct way is to disable absolutely paging on the system drive and move it whole to the second physicial drive i.e. here: url...So which one of these ways are most correct? If i disable completely paging on the system drive it will not be a significant performance hit? How it is with paging in Windows 7 x64? What is your opinion and why it so? And finally how big static size of page file i have to set?
I want to move my 'catdb' file which is a system file to another location so as to shrink my c drive. What is the procedure to get rid of the problem and how to copy and delete the same file in safe mode.
I originally backed up my System & User files using the Backup utility in Tools to a slave drive. That drive was full so I purchased a larger capacity drive and installed it in place of the original slave drive.
I copied over my data but have been unable to copy the file original "Backup" file (shows "0" bytes & empty) I created.
I also had a "WindowsImageBackup" folder (160GB) that had folders and files in it that I have also not been able to copy to the new slave drive.
I am saving my old "Slave" drive so I assume I can use it to restore my original image I created, eyh?
Hope I can explain my difficulty. I have duplicated folders album name for all my music files, As there is quite a considerable number I wondered if it was possible to batch file (automate) the process. I can not delete "d" as this would delete all the tracks. What I need to do is move the tracks at "e" into folder "c" and delete the then empty folder "d" Folder structure.
Why does Windows 7's networking/sharing have to be infinitely more complicated than XP was? I have a computer running Windows 7 Home x64 that I call "file server". My main day-to-day machine is a laptop running Windows 7 Pro x64. There are several other computers throughout the house all running WinXP Pro (32 bit). I do a lot of video processing on my laptop, and whenever a file is done processing and ready to live on the file server, I move it over there. As soon as I do this, sharing for the computer called "file server" DIES. All shares on the machine become inaccessible, and all other machines lose access. My workaround for the time being is to simply reboot the file server, which magically restores sharing. However, this is a horrible workaround since files of all types are being accessed from that machine all day long.
all of a sudden I have been experiencing problems with Pasting files from one area to another. The "Copy" part is working but the pasting - forget about it. There have even been instances whereby the "Pasting" part would be in black and when I click "Paste" nothing happens. On all other instances, the "Paste" feature is in grey.
I am trying to get access to an IP camera and although when pinged it recognizes IP numbers it will not show the picture. This is a new HPtouchsmart with Win 7 Home Premium and we are wondering if there is some firewall that is blocking it.
