View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a full HD image of my Dell c800 Laptop using Drive Image 7 (circa 2003) to an USB HD. I have tried twice and received failures about my HD having bad sectors OR locked sectors. I ran check disc with repair and did not find any problems. Re-ran check disc from the boot disc that came with the application and found no problems with the disc. Tried again for a backup and received the same error. I am thinking it is one of the programs I have loaded has a locked sector or one of my processes that loads during boot is the problem?

Once it arrived to the loading screen after the reboot nothing occurred. I then decided to wait... 30mins later it goes black and then the message arrives: "Winlogon.exe-Badimage The Application or DLL C:/Windows/System32/sfc.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation disk settings." I have alot of stuff on my computer I need for work, is the only option to deleted everything and re add XP?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there is a good way to store a disk image of a hard drive either within that drive or on a server and have it overwrite the booting drive on every boot? I work at schools with computer labs and sometimes the kids mess up the computers and we have to run a Ghost Multicast session to wipe the drive. But everyone has been asking me for a way to wipe the computers clean on each boot? File loss is not an issue, as kids save their work to thumbdrives and network shared folders.

They don't know if one of there kids downloaded something with a virus or what caused the issue. I have never dealt with this sort of issue before. When trying to boot the computer, one receives the following error after the Windows XP splash screen: "The application or DLL C:WINDOWSsystem32DNsapI.dll is not a valid Windows Image. Please check this against your installation diskette."
View 11 Replies View RelatedI currently have 2 x 250GB hard drives; the first with XP and Vista on separate partitions, and the second for data/media. Is it safe to restore an OS disk image without removing the partitions i.e. restoring an XP disk image back to its original partition whilst keeping the Vista partition intact. I'm trying to find a safe/efficient way of backing up my OS's by saving disk images to an external hard drive, so if something goes wrong, ie doesn't boot, I can restore an image via the other OS.

I have even installed another copy of win xp on another drive and booted the system up with the 250gig in it and changed the drive letter in there. After taking the one drive out and booting with the 250gig it still has a letter of "C:" and still the same login loop.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a 160 GB SimpleTech SimpleDrive (external-USB) for backup purposes. The enclosed software StorageSync (Pro) did a satisfactory job of backing up, although a little slow (1 hr - 40 min for 11.5 GB, no compression).
Neither the on-line manual or website gives information whether a restore is possible from a catastrophic-type incident of the O/S, requiring restoration from a bootup procedure. There's no instruction about preparing a "Recovery CD." I have Ghost 9.0; would this be more advisable to backup the image file; and would Ghost see the external HD from its Recovery CD?
After browsing through many of the threads here I have decided to post my own as I am unable to come to any conclusions. MSI, Pentium 4 1.9GHz, 2x60 GB HD (Maxtor ???), 2x256MD DDR-266, It won't boot at all - none of the F8 boot options work, which I have tried several times after recieving the following error
View 10 Replies View Relatedwhen I put an image into any background there is always a little area around the image, it is usually white, I spend a lot of time trying to blend this little area into the background.
is there some other way to let the background show through this thin little white area around the image.
the picture always looks patched.
I could reformat their computers with Windows XP Pro. I have been thinking about this and have come up with 2 choices: use nLite or something similar and create a slip stream-type format, Format one and then create an image of the new format using Acronis or Ghost and use it on all the others. Opinions Also, they have 5 or 6 different types of computers. That is, there are eMachines, Dells, etc. I doubt they have original install discs with drivers
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed MS Digital Image Pro 9.0 on my XP, SP-2 machine which worked perfectly until then. Now when I try to save an image in DIPro the machine reboots. I've have many Gb of HDD space remaining on the partition that Virtual mem. is on. I'm using 512 Mb of RAM. I removed the app and PC is fine again. How come this MS product is not compatible with XP? I have all the updates MS offers.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the free ISO image from yoper.com (linux) and although the size shows as 692meg on the ftp site once downloaded windows reports it as 709meg but the properties shows it as being less than 700meg on disk.
I think this is something to do with 1000bits vs 1024bits or something. But anyway Im trying to write this image using nero 6 oem but it says its too big for the 700meg CD. Do I have to enabale overburning (if its safe) or get an larger capacity CD disk or something
I am constantly harassed lately by "Bad Image" warnings such as:"Coh Updater.exe - Bad Image
The application or DLL C:windowssystem32shdodc.dllis not a valid image. Please check this against your installation diskette."
I keep getting this pop up: skiv32.exe - Bad Image The application or DLL c:WINDOWSsystem 32 tgp32.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette. When I click ok to remove the error message box, the same message will immediately pop up again. This happens about every 3 or 4 minutes, with the letter/numbers after system32 being different each time.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm currently going through my large collection of military aircraft photos and cropping any that need cropping.I right-click on the image, scroll down to 'Open With' and then click on 'Nero Photosnap Viewer'.However, before I can begin cropping I have to click off an odd message box from Windows. It says 'Windows cannot find Documents and Settings, (then my name), My Documents, Military Aircraft (then name of aircraft). Make sure you have typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search.'Thing is, how come Windows says it can't find the image when I'm sitting here looking at said image ?I do a search and any image I look for is there. Windows CAN find it during a search.What is this message all about, when clearly it is wrong ?

The problem is:How can I set an image as the background for a folder (eg, when open this folder in Windows Explorer, the image appear as the background on the right pane). I saw that in some machines (WinXP), the desktop has a portion that I think is an HTML file (because it has hyperlinks and other content in it). When I change the desktop background picture, the picture changed, but the HTML portion is still there

When I go into properties to select a picture, all the options are highlighted and I cannot deselct them. In Windows Explorer, when I right click, set picture as backround, nothing happens.I've tried restarting and setting the theme to default, but even then the default wall paper doesn't show up.However, when I try to restart my computer, or turn it off, right before the screen changes to the logoff display, the old background image I had set shows up, but only for less than a second.

I went into safe mode and got them out.But now, I can't get any images on my desktop. It doesn't even show an option to do it from the properties window. The browse button is greyed out. However, it DOES show the background right after it boot up. At that time, there are no icons. Then the background becomes a solid color and the icons appear. Otherwise, the system SEEMS to be running fine.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI had an image from an email as my desktop image and accidentally changed it to the default. The email image I was using previously is not saved anywhere on my computer and I do not have the email anymore. For the first five or six times I turned the computer on or off the old image would flash for a brief second (this no longer happens). I am wondering if the email image might be saved somewhere that might be possible to retrieve or is it gone for good?
