• How WD My Book World Edition Network Attached Storage backup with Vista backup

  Hello
  I have a dandy new My Book World Edition which is recognized by Vista and to which I have traced some readers. I'm trying to get a copy of Vista to 64 backup to save a backup on this device, but it does not work. I hope someone here can have successfully addressed this. I tried the backup on mapped drives, but they do not seem to be listed under the local computer. I then select the My Book World Edition device networking (by browing to it), and even if I correctly enter the usernam and password, backup of Vista tells me that it can't open the backup on her drive.

  Thanks for any help in setting this up.

  Hello monteolsen1,

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  I don't know if you have the Western Digital My Book World Edition is supported in a 64-bit environment of Windows Vista. Windows Vista displayed a supported operating system, but it does not show a 64 bit system.

  Please contact Western Digital for its support in this area.

• Unable to backup (with Vista) - "the system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002) »

  I cant get a backup on my external hard drive through back and Restore Center in Windows Vista.  I receive the Error Message - 'the system cannot find the file specified.

• 0x8007001b with Vista Home Premium Center backup and restore backup failure

  I have my Toshiba Satellite M205-S7452 with Vista Home Premium for about 8 months, and November 2007, backup windows, and restore program worked flawlessly. I was able to back up my music, photos and documents to a DVD on a regular basis. But then I started having an error halfway back up that says "drive cannot find the sector requested" with the 0x8007001b error code. It seems that the backup works partially - there are files on the DVD player but I don't know if it ends or not. I tried to do some research on Google and it seems that there is other people affected by this error, but I could not find suggested patches.

  Hi jennielah,

  Please use the Forum of the community for Vista.

  If it has started, use the system restore back to a point before you start. See below for instructions.

  If you can do that I have a work around you. Your specific error seems to relate to update failures, not only the Windows updates but the various failures of update.

  The job is to save it to your hard drive and copy the files on the DVD after the fact.

  I hope this helps.

  Please let us know if we can do something else.

  The System Restore tool

  Other troubleshooting methods, such as using the System File Checker tool, cannot solve the problem. If they do not resolve the problem, and the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

  The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start , type system restore in the Search box, and then click System Restore in the programs list.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue .

  1. In the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point , and then click Next .

  2. In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next .

  3. Click Finish .

     The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  Here is a link to the system restore, if you would like more information

  III. in the display Advanced Startup Options , use the arrow keys to select repair your computerand press ENTER. (If repair your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer does not include startup as a preinstalled recovery option repair).

  Hello

  ·           Which type of installation do you have?

  ·           Was this a new installation or a custom installation?

  ·           Did you install it with Vista Home Basic or home premium?

• Cannot restore backup image Vista Home Premium Vista Ultimate

  So recently my house was broken into and my laptop stolen.  Fortunately, considerate thieves left my backup hard drive external, I used my destination for Vista Ultimate backups.

  Advance of 2 weeks and now I have a new laptop.  It has Vista Home premium installed. It is deplorable that I must pay for 2 because Microsoft OS assumed that I am a software pirate and does not give me an OEM OS disk, but I also use a version with fewer features.

  But I'm better.  Soon I discovered that my non "backups" are not all files that are not some base document/text/music files.  All my encrypted volumes that have my REALLY important files were not considered sufficiently specific to save Vista, probably because their extension wasn't .txt, .doc or .mp3.

  Fine.  In fact, I did disk-image backups.  As recently, you mind, but at least most of my stuff should be there.

  And, I can't restore my own disk-image backups because Vista Home Premium does not support.  Great, not only bought Vista * double *, I'm not allowed to retrieve the files that I recorded with a BONE that I bought and supposed to be always clean, but only in certain intellectual property of Kafka-esque fantasy land.

  I tried the 3rd party virtualization software to try to start the image (.vhd files). No go.  Can someone tell me how to recover my files?  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Ixne,

  We will not be able to recover an ultimate Image on Home Premium. However, if you have a backup of your entire PC, then you can try to do the same thing in Windows Recovery Mode.

  Starting with the DVD of the operating system, once you see the manufacturer of the screen, Tap "F8". Choose the option "full restoration of the PC.

  Hope this helps with your problem.

• 24 of Firefox with vista to date fails to display icons on the new Yahoo Mail and other web sites — especially icons such as facebook, twitter WHY?

  Web sites like murraystivoli.com that display the facebook and twitter icons and in particular the new Yahoo Mail interface fail to display the icons. I see only a small rectangle. On Yahoo Mail, there are a few inside but instead it should be the display arrows, images of envelopes or as medium icons or 'send '. The new interface is useless without correct icon translation - can not see the arrows for 'reply' 'reply to all '. It works on Internet Explore on Vista; It works on Firefox on Windows XP (it's the way back level) then why do we see this problem with Vista and Firefox update (we 24.0 but saw problems on websites that I don't care that much about other levels of Firefox also.)

  Help, please!

  Same problem here... I have no icons or tick boxes at all in Yahoo mail and it affects a good few other sites too, just small square boxes with numbers inside. It's really annoying!
