Backup will not accept a disk formatted in drive A:

I am running XP with SP3 and my Windows backup program works perfectly, creating the backup file on an external hard drive. At the end it asks me to insert a disk formatted in the A: drive, what I do, but no matter what I do, it just do not see it and asks me to insert a disk again. The disk is there, it has been formatted and is clean and it works fine, except for the backup program. Why? What can I do?

Hello

Ideally, Windows backup and restore will not ask for floppy drive.

You try to create the backup recovery (of the ASR system) automated system?

You configure the backup password protection on your external hard drive? If this is the case, I suggest you to not set the password for your backup.

Reference: Use backup to protect data and restore files and folders on your computer in Windows XP and Windows Vista

Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

    I don't have a solution to your problem of "dvd".
    I have a suggestion:
    Forget to take the backup of files with dvds.
    Buy an external hard drive and use it for backups of files.

    A hard disk of 1 TB post can be had less than $100, to the Canada. The United States will be even less.

    Thanks to the external hard drive for backups of files, you don't have to sit by the computer and feed it with DVD whenever he asks. You can walk away. The computer will do its thing without you.

    A 2 x 4 in box will store all your files. No DVD more formatting. No more marking each dvd. No stacks more DVD.

    Hello

    What password do you mean exactly?
    BIOS or Windows user password?

    If you're talking about BIOS password then I have some bad news for you; You cannot reset a unknown BIOS password. Only a Toshiba ASP technician may remove unknown BIOS password.
    But if you talk to windows user password, then you could reset/clear the password by the new installation of the operating system for this you can use a HARD drive recovery option.

    PS: I found this article on resetting a password account user in Vista or Windows 7. I did not try it, but some people on the net reported that the account password could be changed successfully

  • Hard drive will not accept any CD or DVD

    I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8 version.  The hard drive will not accept a CD or a DVD.  Thinking maybe I left a floppy disk in the drive, I tried to eject, but the eject button does not eject anything.  I have not tried to insert a disk for a long time, so do not know how long it could have been a problem without me realizing it. I tried to shut down the computer and restart, but this does not solve the problem.  I did some research using the Apple Hardware Test, but the instructions say insert the Applications install disc 2.  Unfortunately, as I can't insert a disc, I can't deal with the problem in this way?  Any suggestions?

  • Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation.

    Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation. HP can't help. Your say talking to HP and HP technicians say they are unable to help him. I'm now using valid XP. HP say that conflict with Vista. Can anyone help?

    original title: VISTA VS. XP

    Your technicians say talk to HP

    Sorry, this is not Microsoft.  This is a public forum from user to user hosted by Microsoft on its servers for the comfort of its clients, and we all here are volunteers.

    You say you use XP.  What is your question?  What do you mean 'conflicts with Vista?

    I suggest recovery discs you order from HP for your computer.  If HP is no longer the issue of stocks you can order such a third of Recovery - Disks.com.  There are several of these companies.  If you are going to use XP, you need to install XP from scratch and this means that you need XP drivers for your brand and model.  If HP has no XP drivers on your computer you must not try to use XP on it.

    Remember that Vista Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate out of Microsoft support on 10 April and there will be more updates, including critical security patches after that date.  Only Vista business and company will continue to receive updates.  You might consider this a good time to upgrade to Windows 7.  You must download and run the Windows Update Advisor once you restored Vista successfully.

  • Firefox will not load https pages. gives the security warning and will not accept an exception.

    I had problems with Firefox and some sites for about a year, and it is located in my laptop. I have no problems when using my desktop at work or my dad's cell phone in his house. Some sites simply returns a page of text style; no html. Other sites give me a security certificate warning and FF will not accept an exception for this site, either by clicking the button or manually enter the site as an exception. Tonight, GOOGLE will not load again! Why, it's trying to load on an https server, I don't know, however. Several other sites have also begun does not not and are also trying to load it on a secure server.

    Use Kaspersky, AVAST 2015, ESET, BitDefender or Microsoft family safety? These are among the most popular security programs which have a function to intercept your Internet connections and filter your traffic. When it's a secure site, in order to be able to decrypt and inspect your communications, the software must present a false certificate for Firefox. Sometimes, the software is not able to configure Firefox for this, or if you use the function of Reset of Firefox, the trust is broken and needs to be put in place again.

    Unfortunately, the same symptoms can appear with some malicious software.

    If you look at the second half of the post of Philipp, you see where you can check the section 'From' the certificate. This usually allows to identify the culprit. Can you take a look and report what you find?

  • My Apple TV will not accept my Apple ID and password?

    My Apple TV is on auto update and when I try to connect with my Apple ID and password, it will not accept and asks me to change my password. I've done several times, but everything I do will not accept the Apple TV? I have reset the Apple TV twice, through all the steps, but always the same result does not accept. I tried to restore but unable to restore factory?

    I had been using Apple TV with success until one day because of bad conditions weather wi - Fi was low, but I wasn't sure, so I unplugged the Apple TV. However, the next day wi - Fi was beautiful, so I plugged in the Apple TV and the startup insiders, and since, I can't make it work?

    What version of AppleTV, what software?

    Looks like you don't have an internet connection. Which must precede entering your Apple ID

    Make sure that your network connection is set to automatic for the IP address and DNS. A bad DNS address in particular could prevent internet access.

    I don't know what you've done on your device. First of all, when you fed after his stop, he should come back exactly as it was. You wouldn't have to 'launch startup. At worst, you may need to review the network settings and select the WiFi network again.

    Second, you have tried to reset to factory settings, so you will need to enter again all the configuration, but it does not work?

    Third, you tried to restore. Do you mean the procedure of restoration of your Apple TV via iTunes - Apple Support ? How restore did not work?

    Finally, you say that ATV is asking you to change your password. I don't think you can change the password of the ATV. Just to be sure of what's going on, you must sign in with your Apple ID on another device: computer, iPhone. If it's normal, you should be able to use the same password on the ATV.

    Just to check, your ATV is set in the same region as your physical location?

  • I have Firefox 8.0.1 and since the update to it, some sites, I need to go so that Firefox will not accept certificates which is accepted in the previous version. I can not get the permanent exception and must uncheck permanent and do every time.

    I have Firefox 8.0.1 and since the update to it, some sites, I need to go so that Firefox will not accept certificates which is accepted in the previous version. I can not get the permanent exception and must uncheck permanent

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file

    It is not usually necessary to create an exception for the certificates.

    Possible causes are that a server does not send the full (intermediate) certificate chain or self signed certificates.

  • ThinkPad T530 will not accept a real extended Lenovo battery

    Nice day

    The T530 will not accept a Lenovo non-authentique replacement battery, I am aware of that. However, I bought a 2nd hand long battery life which IS a genuine Lenovo battery and when my T530 starts, he is always complaining that the battery is not allowed and will not load. Of course, it will not charge.

    Does anyone know why this would be? The battery is 8.4 Ah, 94Wh. FRU 42 T 4969 ASM T 42, 4802, product licensed to Lenovo.

    Thank you, Ian

    You'e welcome.

    There are a lot of batteries compatile T530, series 70 + (6 cells) and 70 ++ series (9 cells), thus 28 ++ (9 cells, range) in the parts list.

    FRU 45N1001 - SANYO 6cell Nozomi
    45N1003 - Panasonic Nozomi 6cell
    45N1005 - LGC 6cell Nozomi
    45N1007 - SANYO 9cell Nozomi
    45N1011 - LGC 9cell Nozomi
    45N1013 - SANYO Nozomi 6cell - 3 years
    45N1105 - /2200mA 6cell Nozomi
    45N1107 - /2200mA 6cell Nozomi
    45N1173 - Panasonic 9 c, 2.9Ah, Li - ion

    Be very (!) vigilant if you decide to buy the battery no official Lenovo shop. There are many farms rigged on the secondary market (ebay, ali etc.) w/out the HW, even with Lenovo FRU p/n authentication feature and authentic as wire. There was a battery of many cases these fake related here in the forum. In most cases, it is possible to recognize the battery fixed by its labels, and it is desirable, by Lenovo Power Manager provides information.

    Thus, demand of the seller the battery warranty is authentic Lenovo, photos of battery labels in your package (!), with the possibility to return in case of incompatibility problems.
