8gb Flashdrive OS Backup For Note Book
Dec 26, 2009
I received a Gateway Lt Netbook. This is kind of just a cheap computer to us till I go off to college (in two-years). Then I'm getting a macbook pro or hopefully one of the mac products. Even though this is just a computer to use till then. I want to back this up, my family's external harddrive is full though. I was wondering if I could back up my xp netbook to an 8gb flashdrive? Also, could someone tell me how to do this (I'm use to press the button and it backs everything up). If I need a program, preferably freeware or cheap, but I want something that works. If I really need to I will splurge on it, it just I am tight on cash right now.

I can't get my samsung n110 netbook to hibernate. It always would work perfectly fine. Today (this just started today) it wouldn't go into hibernate. Instead it would just stay on. Typically, closing the screen would send it to hibernation mode, but it won't do that anymore. So I went to start>turn off computer. Held shift, and clicked hibernate. The windows screen came up, and said "Preparing to hibernate". It stayed on that screen for around 3 seconds, then just went back to the desktop, as if nothing happened. I read in multiple places to disable hibernation, restart, enable it again, then try again. I tried that, and it didn't work. Any idea on how this can be fixed? Keep in mind, standby works perfectly fine.

No matter what flashdrive I plug into my PC , it does not work. Mp3 players or any usb drive does not work. I can see the device in device manager and it does not show any conflicts or problems . I cannot access the drive either through my computer or windows explrer. It is as if the drive is there but it is not able to work because of some problem.

In Windows XP, is it possible to add a note to the folder? For example, I have a folder "Scanned Documents for Genealogy" and I would like to add a note somewhere in that folder, or attached to that folder, that indicates that those documents have all been added to my genealogy software program.I know I could create a document in the folder, title it NOTES ABOUT THIS FOLDER, or whatever, but I'm wondering if there is a simple way to attach a note to a folder?

After restoring a computer and backing up files, once the computer is back up and running should I have a foldercalled "My Backup 1408-08 2353" or should I have a single backup file called backup.bkf? I'm trying to help someone, and they have a folder with the files already available instead of a single backup.bkf file. He wants to restore everything to the original location before the computer restore. How can he do that with the folder he has instead of a backup.bkf file? The restore wizard is asking for a .bkf file to place everything in the original locations, and he doesn't have that.

My PC was running flawlessly for about two months now, and then yesterday I came back to find my computer off. I turned it back on and when it got to the desktop, no task bar items started, and all of the .ink shortcuts on my desktop wouldn't display icons, just the broken icon icon, if you know what I mean. Anywho, when I went to start any program, it would either ask to use the web service to find what to open the exe in, or just open it notepad. Why note pad works and no other exe does

Recently, Microsoft modified the licensing terms for OEM editions. Previously,purchasers were permitted to apply OEM licenses to their own computers provided the licenses were purchased with qualifying hardware. However, the Windows OEM System Builder EULA now prohibits purchasers from applying OEM licenses to computers they are building for themselves, friends, family members, etc.As explained in the revised license comparison, "[OEM licenses] must be preinstalled on a PC and sold to another unrelated party." (Emphasis added.) These revised licensing terms apply to all OEM versions of Windows currently sold, including Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Please keep these revised terms in mind when building your own computers

Tow recent additions to the Beta stable have left me impressed enough to tout it's benefits.
:One-Care" is a lifesaver program that is a joy to use as soon as you open it from the download try it and you will like it - or not(Tell Me) You read everyday about backing up problems but now I believe that has been resolved in one fell swoop by this program. What's going on? did Microsoft finaslly hire a programmer who lived in the real world?
The other program is "One-Note".I find myself happily configuring this program to the way I do things and it responds (some quircks but the feedback allowance appears to be listening)Try the programs for discussion at the outset before they print the final copies and some ogf the little things that need tweaking may actually be done without getting zillions of patches.

This isn't a problem as such.. it's just darned annoying. When I click the My Documents folder on my desktop, and open the My Pictures folder, it has the musical note background and no film strip facility.I know that the My Documents and My Pictures folders are deemed as System folders in XP and cannot be customized, but here's the thing.. If I open the explorer file tree and go to the Documents and Setting folder, and open the My Documents and My Pictures from inside it.

I want to backup my PC for disaster recovery and then do an incremental backup each night to a USB hard drive. I tried Retrospect which came with the USB hard drive. I couldn't get it to work to well. I've been using the MS backup utility. With this software it seems any new email causes changes my large Outlook PST file and the whole
file is backed up again. I've been trying to find backup software which will backup just the changed elements of the pst file and have tried downloading a trial version of
continuity@work from Mobiliti who claim to be able to just backup the changes to a PST file. I left continuity@work running overnight and had to stop it as it was only 50% through the backup this morning. It calls it synchronization rather than backup and from the error messages it seems that it doesn't create a shadow image before backing up as several files were not backed up as they were in use.

I have an ASUS EEE PC 900 that takes almost three miutes to boot to the desktop. I have unchecked almost everything in msconfig and it doesnt make a difference. This Laptop had ALOT of viruses and infections. I would have loved to do a clean OS install but it does not have a cd-rom drive and I would have to make a bootable USB key. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a Windows XP cd emulate on one of these? I tried to mount one in daemon tools so that I could run sfc /scannow to fix any dead .dlls but it would not see the CD.

When I tried installing XP Pro as an upgrade from Windows 2000, it almost
finished the install (34 minutes left) when the computer turned itself off.
This happened several times. I removed the hard drive and reformatted it -
cleaned it off, then reinstalled it. Now when the PC boots up it recognizes
the CD Rom drivs but it will not boot or install from the CD ROM drive. I
created the 6 diskettes to tell the PC to install from the CD Rom drive, and
it gives me an I/O error. The BIOS says to boot off the CD ROM drive but it
won't. What might cause this? A bad hard drive? A bad motherboard?

basically what im looking to do is delete some old entries that the XP backup utility has created over time that i setup a while ago. Im using the "copy" option.so nothing has been appended or incremental.Im just looking to avoid deleting the setup i got, and maybe just delete a few "copy" backups so that theres not 8 gigs / 1 years worth of backups.i only need about 4 months I forgot about it.cuz i never neaded it. But it looks as if its the only way b/c i cant just delete selected backups.all or nothing?/ anyone know of a better backup utility that is simple and easy on a system BTW?

Recently, my windows address book (Documents & Settings/User/Apps/Microsoft/Address Book) has stopped working on my Windows XP SP2 desktop. The *.wab file is in the proper place and is of the right size but when I open it using Outlook Express or simply by clicking on the file itself, it opens empty and, at the same time, creates a new file name in the Address Book folder which uses the first 6 letters of the actual file name. On this same computer, with another address book, this shortened file name does not appear and the address file opens properly. It only occurs with one particular address book file.
Assuming the *.wab file was corrupted, I copied in a backup file to replace the corrupted address book file. The backup was made at a time when the address book was working properly. Unfortunately, the backup file demonstrated the same behavior, opening empty and showing the shortened file name.I then copied the original address book and the backup copy to another computer and found they both opened empty and both created the 2nd file name. On that same computer, other address book files open properly.At this point, an address book file, from my backup, which was working fine at the time the backup was made now fails and does so on two different computers.Other address book files open normally on both computers.I am at a loss and do not know how to recover the contents of the original address file.

I have a 1tb My Book Premium II drive. I'm accessing the drive through Windows XP Media Edition 2004. The External HD is connected via USB (I don't have Firewire or Firewire 2.0 on my laptop.) I have had little to no issues with this external hd, and have previously used the 160 gig version for over 2 years. I've got 550gb free meaning I've used it quite a bit. The 1tb drive is around 6 months old so far and I've got two complaints vs no solution.My files are sorted in the external hd similar to Window's. I have a Main folder, several categories of folders, then more folders within each... I archive lots of music, some videos, personal documents, and tons of pictures.I have been downloading various files directly to my hd, keeping my 160 gb laptop's hd clear of various files (Is this a bad idea??)
I use SoulSeek and Azeurus - both of which are compatible with Windows and tweaked appropriately. I attempt to access the files from My Computer and frequently experience an Explorer Crash. The severity is varying generally the Dr.Watson debugger will crash along with explorer... and on other occasions, I get no warning pop-up at all. I'm at a complete loss as to why this occurs. I can access the files with the download program(s) running, as well as closed both resulting with a crash. I have attempted to view the files through Mozilla and IE, both work properly, but it's an inconvenience.Anyone have similar problems? I have not found this exact issue on other forums... but I'm getting the picture WD drives do have problems.

Want to buy a newer net book with Win7 and swap my old Hard Disk into it. The old Hard Disk has XP Sp2. will it work? For some reason, mfr are limiting XP OS to the same machine with only 1GB. if you config the PC to have 3GB, they say you have to upgrade the OS.

created an identity on Windows XP for each of my parents. Tried to set it up where Outlook Express could be used identically from both identities,but could not. Used the Import/Export from OE to attempt to send the address book and messages to other identity, and now they aren't found in either identity's OE program. When I tried to import the address book back into main identity's OE, an error message stated that it won't retrieve that folder
