Jan 8, 2007I got a WD "My Book Essential" 160gb external drive for Christmas, and as it does not come with backup software, I decided to try the Windows backup utility. I had to reformat the new drive from FAT32 into NTFS, and then I did a complete backup of the entire system. It asked for a diskette to create a boot disk, and then completed fine. However, when I looked at the .bkf file to see how large it was, it was 46 gb!! My hard drive on my pc that I backed up only shows 32 gb used. How could the backup file be larger than what was backed up? Is there some option/feature that I need to change?

May 3, 2008I just performed an ASR backup of my computer using NTBackup.ese and I have a strange problem that I haven't encountered before. According to Windows Explorer, there is 77 GB of data on my C: drive. However, the .bkf file created by the backup is 151 GB - almost twice the size. Now my external drive is full and I can't do any more backups. I've extensively explored my hard drive, including looking at System and Hidden files, but I am unable to explain this discrepency. Does anyone know what happened?

Jul 9, 2009I guess I have a few options (as I have backed up my entire hard drive before the problem started), including hiriing someone if need be.
System info: Win XP Pro. For security use KIS 09 and Webroot SpySweeper (henceforth, WSS). This is my desktop. Laptop the same except for Win XP home.
After I upgraded the WSS to their latest version (6.1.0.128) I had problems only on desktop and only with MSWord. After two days of working on desktop problem I discovered it was the WSS upgrade, as no problems if WSS shut down or removed via Windows add/remove.

May 9, 2005Is it possible to get rid of the backed up files that System Restore uses to restore. Is this confusing? Would just turning off System Restore and turning it on again get rid of the files System Restore uses as the 'old' files? What would work if thats not the case. Should I make myself clearer or do you get it.

Jul 29, 2005You guys are my last hope. This forum looks very active, so hopefully someone knowledgable will know how to fix my problem.I'm running Windows XP and very recently installed SP2. Here are some sys specs:P4 1.5ghz, gf2 64mb Pro video card.Suddenly about a day ago, different colored blocks would randomly appear on my screen (usually pink). I thought nothing of it, but it kept getting worse. I turned on my computer one day, and my LCD monitor kept flickering. I rebooted, then it loaded windows, then my monitor kept going to power save mode, then showed the screen, etc. I rebooted again, and my screen was stuck at the black loading screen that says "Win XP Pro" with the animation (except everything was weird colors and I could tell by the sounds and such that my computer loaded windows). Rebooted again, and my monitor said "refresh rate out of range". I set my refresh rate to 60, but nothing. Now, random pixels on my screen are red/pink/different colors at random times. When I move my mouse or a window around, random pixels change colors.

Jun 8, 2010I turned on my computer to find it essentially wiped clean.
My desktop was just the basics, generic picture, no screen saver, 'My Documents' were all gone, my emails were all gone, bookmarks etc. When I opened up my Outlook I had to set it all up again, when I open any of the office suite of programs I need to reset them up.
Yet, Skype was still installed, Mozilla was there, my BlackBerry software was there just without any of the personal info? Basically like my user profile was cleaned out?
Folders I had set up directly on the C: were still there, yet all of 'My Documents' were gone...
I was able to retrieve everything from Carbonite (YIPPEE) and am in the process of getting it all put back where it belongs.. Spybot didn't find anything and the shortened version of Norton did not find anything, have not done a full system scan via Norton yet.
I brought the computer (Dell Latitude laptop) into a local computer tech and he didn't have a clue, basically did nothing except waste 4 days that I could have spent working on it...

Jan 28, 2008I have taken a hitachi hdd that had xp home on it, put it solo in a machine (cuz it is larger tryin' to upgrade) that had been using & working perfectly fine with 2k pro. got a missing os error. read dozens more. own full store bought version of the afore mentioned xp. tried to boot from cd, does NOT appear to even recognize anything is in the drive. went into bios made sure cd was 1st boot, still "missin os" still doesn't see cd in drive. here is where i would like some more detail pleez, mind you i'm a beginner, yet have a keen interest in computers. now i read that computers don't like swaps of os too hot, so i pulled the xp hdd back out of the 2k machine set it up as slave in the machine i'm using now (it's actual "birth" machine) & formatted it, then deleted it from the drivers before removing it. put it back in the rig that runs 2k, now the error states "NTLDR is missing". by the way i corrected the jumpers both swaps. tried the cd again still ntlrd error. went into bios, confirmed recognition of hdd, yep pretty as a picture. does'nt formatting wipe the thing clean (for my intent & purpose)? i have to be missing a step here, i mean why won't the thing read the cd? the cd rom works, i read something about possibly not being able to boot from it though!?
