    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow (Yes there is a space after sfc) the command sfc/scannow. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

  • How boot Windows Vista from a USB hard drive that has a good backup Vista already on him.

    Hi, initially, I thought I had a virus (blue screens that appear often), then I thought I had a corrupted driver or systems file. So, I had a 2 t USB external hard drive and saved ALL my internal hard drive.  After execution of all kinds of tests from my internal hard drive, it does NOT pass the diagnostic test and always stops in the same place on the internal hard drive.  It becomes harder and harder to start on my internal drive of 'C' without getting some kind of blue screen.  I'm sure that now it's my drive "C" which is declining and malfunction and I am convinced now to go forward and every time you start my existing backup Vista SP2 that I backed up on my disk 'K', or if I can, then do a new clean install of Vista 86 x (32 bit) on the disc 'K '.  My boot sequence is as follows: 1. Disc 2 DVD 3. External drive USB 'K' 4. Internal drive C (eventually when I get all fixed, I turn OFF my 'C' drive.)  When I boot my computer without my Vista disk, it bypasses the 'K' reader, because all the "loadup data" is located in a folder and are not exposed, or I don't have the files to "load" just in the right place.  When I look at the file config.sys and autoexec.bat copied, I see nothing in the files that would be "load" my existing Vista, instead he just goes right in front of the reader 'K' and on the 'C' drive and loaded a version own intalled my Vista (if I can avoid a blue screen, sometimes I have to load in "safe mode" and even) It doesn't work sometimes!)  My question is what the loadup files are needed and where on my 'K' drive (in system32?) to be able to restart my old copy of Vista which has all my existing configurations in place?  Thanks in advance for your help.

  • How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate? I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2),

    How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate?  I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive.  To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.

    How can I accomplish this? The program does not seem to give me the ability to specify a file to which to write the backup during a given session files.  In addition, I do not understand why I can not see the file name in Windows Explorer - my files options are defined to be able to view hidden and system.  Would be grateful for any help you can provide, tonight if possible.   Best regards, Oliver for Norm

    I recently built a new PC with a SSD as main OS drive and Windows 7 as my new main operating system.  As long as my secondary HARD drive, I used an old HDD that has a version of Vista as well as all my old files.  I'm hoping to keep all my old files on this disk and delete Vista to free up space on this drive.  I have also other programs (software Zune. ect on the drive, I guess I will need to download a new version for Win7.)  Should I uninstall that as well and download a new version?

    After the failure of my screen the technician replaced twice and is trying to arrange a replacement machine. How can I copy the hard drive and all the settings and software from one to the other. I'll have to return the damaged machine when I pick up a new one from the dealer.

    Hello

    I guess you will get exactly the same model of laptop. Right?
    In this case I would not copy the entire contents of the HARD drive to another HARD drive, but I would just swap the drives.

  • Loading Vista on a new hard drive

    I would like to re - install Windows Vista on a new hard drive on a laptop HP Pavilion DV6000 of portable entertainment is since 2007.  Now, the laptop came with Vista pre-installed.  The laptop came with a system recovery disk.  My question is: this disk contains Windows Vista I need to load new hard disk?

    GaryRob

    Yes assuming that the new hard disk is at least as large as the former, system recovery disk is exactly what you need to restore the PC as long as you plant. Simply tap on F9 you turn on with the disc in the drive and select the DVD as a source of start-up and follow on-screen prompts. You'll need to do a lot of updates, but you will have a working computer.
