Cant Back Any Of Files Up
Sep 19, 2009
Im having trouble backing files up on my computer. When i try to copy ANY file on my computer (cause ive tried to do some trial and error), it gives me this:"This file 'name' has extra information attatched to it that might be lost if you continue copying. The contents of the file will not be affected. Do you want to copy the file anyway? "I then click "Yes" but then it gives me another error about how windows has encountered an error while trying to copy the file. I have yet to read up on somebody who ahs had this problem.Ive read that is has something to do with the datastream that gets created within a file. I also read something about ADS, which I have no idea what it is. All in all, its a problem in which i am having trouble copying files from my NTSF drive (Harddive) to a FAT drive (CD/DVD).

Some time ago, my PC had some serious problem and I lost most of my windows files... or files in my windows dir. To get back to my files I re-installed windows.. somehow. Anyway... it works pretty good for the most part but it does seem to load very slowly most of the time... Can you suggest anything to help? HJT log.

I bought a Toshiba laptop in January. Tonight, just randomly, everything got SUPER slow. Programs began to freeze and I'm having to continously restart. I'm currently on the family computer. I can't seem to find the problem. I've deleted a whole bunch of "useless" programs and files. I've done a virus scan, but still it doesn't seem to be working.I recieved a "Product Recovery" disc when I got my laptop that I'm going to use, but I just have a few things that I wanted to make sure about before I did. Hopefully somebody could help me.In the manual it tells me that once I use this disc, all my data will be erased. Okay, so I put all "My Documents" on a Back-Up Files file? Does that make sense? There was a program on my computer that I used for it. I saved the File that's titled "Backup" in My Documents. If I do restart my whole computer, erasing all the data from it, what's going to happen with my "Backup.bkf" file? Will it still be in my My Documents folder?
I'm so concerned with that because I have SO MANY things that I can't just throw away. I've tried sending most of my stuff to my e-mail, but my computer is being way to slow to do all my files and folders. I can't even compress them and send. It's like it has cancer.Can anybody help me? I feel like such an idiot, but this is the only time I've had trouble with this laptop. I really can't just go and get it fixed with a professional. We don't exactly have a lot of money right now.

My Dell Dimension 8400 suddenly won't boot up, and Dell told me I would have to reinstall the OS (XP Media Center Edition). I would rather try to repair the boot files first in order to save all of my apps, drivers and files. But before trying this, I would like to move my SATA HDD to another PC and make it a slave so that I can backup my files to an external HD. Is this a complex task? Dell also told me that all of my OE apps are stored on a partition in my HDD, so a reinstall will put me back to the way my PC was when I first got it, but I would then have to try to find all the drivers for everything I have since installed.

I need to get into some user hidden files like application data etc so I can reconfigure some things.I run CFS3 and when there is a conf problem sometimes one needs to delete the Appdata folder to reset it as well as dropping in files so I do not have to do a new complete confg of controls.I have it on my smaller PC but completely forgot how to set it up to see on my new build.

I'm looking to backup my data because I almost lost all my data when computer failed to start. After about 10 hard power shutdowns I got my computer back and it said Windows XP recovered from a serious Error. I think it had something to either do with the hard drive or Konfabulator.

I just moved in to my buddy from work, and decided to put a pass on my PC, since a lot of people go thru the house on weekends. I set up an account, gave it admin privileges, but when setup asked: "would you like to give that account access to files?" (or some similar question) I selected NO. When account loaded I couldn't get access to any of my files! The problem now is that I can't delete that new account, because it's the only account! I tried setting up another one with administrator privileges, but it doesn't ask that question anymore (would you like to give that account access to files?), so I can't get access? Do you know a solution, or a step towards getting access to files back?

Yesterday I decided to cut and paste a 1.3 gig folder from one partition to another on a seperate drive. The file transfer proceeded, however, after a couple of minutes a message appeared saying it couldn't move the folder as it was currently being used by another program. I closed notepad which was the program involved. I then went to the partition where the folder was originally kept but the folder was not present. I went to partition where I had attempted to move the folder and found the folder but it was completely empty. Somewhere on my drives is 1.3 gig of infornmation in about six files,

I accidently imported all computer files to Kazaa instead of only my music files, now I don't have a clue how to put them all back. It literally cleared my computer right out and my system restore option dissapeared off of my files, so that idea is scratched! I slowly recovered some files but all my software downloads are going to Kazaa now!

My computer didn't come with an XP CD, just the manufacturer's restore CD which will wipe out all I've done in the last four years. So, if I backup (copy) all the files on my C drive, except the Windows folder (assuming that's where all the OS files are), to an external drive, then run the restore CD which will revert the computer back to the way it was when I bought it. Then download and install SP2 and copy the original files back to C.

I want to back up my files to an external hard drive using Windows Backup, but it is not shown as an option. The only options shown are the floppy and f: drives. Can you use this program to back up to an external drive? If so, how do you tell it where to send the data?

If the option to enable "Show Hidden Files and Folders" is MISSING from your Folders Options > View > Advanced Settings, find this key in your registry:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvancedFolderHidden]Modify the string value "Type" and enter "group" as value data. After the edit is complete hit F5 to refresh, and go look in your Folder Options.

I did an AVG Rootkit scan which turned up "c:windows/system32/userinit.exe" as a dodgy file. I removed it and now the machine won't login when I boot the system. With a bit more digging it seems that this file was actually the login information within the registry and as it can't find a valid user/password it just keeps asking me click the user name and login. When I click it just loops back and throws back up the window, asking me to click the user name again.How I can access the registry and reset the userinit.exe file?I've tried selecting "last good configuration" which didn't work.I also tried to download Bart PE on another machine (running Vista) to set up a boot CD, but it wasn't particularly clear how to go about it, so I tried using the XP System Recovery app on the install disks. This got me into a C: prompt.

I bought my Dell 4700 about 6 months ago and was just going through the discs that came with it. I remembered that the Dell did not come with a Windows XP install disc in case I need to re-format. Is this normal? There is an option under Start....Accessories....System Tools to create OS backup disc. Is that what I need to make a disc or should it have came with one?

Are you guys having the same problem? Using IE7, when viewing a thread, if I hit the back arrow to go back to the page I was previously viewing, it doesn't move at all. It started acting weird a couple of days ago when it took sometimes two hits on the back arrow to go back. Now it doesn't go back to the previous page at all.

I'm running XP Pro on a HP laptop right now and it's decent but I was looking for an OS with less bloat and one that left a smaller memory footprint. Win2k seems like the best way to go. I basically use it for browsing, watching movies, music, email and maybe the odd old game of AoC or something like that. I also use it for wireless but that shouldn't be an issue because the client I use supports 2k.What kind of features would I be missing from going backwards?

I purchased norton ghost 2003 and an external hard drive to back up the whole of my c drive and recently my system crashed due to a faulty graphics card and memory stick and although the repairer recovered the files and i reinstalled my programmes but back up files are not working. I reloaded norton ghost 2003 and tried to run the programme but get a complicated error message and quite frankly find the symantec support very difficult to negotiate.
