• How would complement a full computer backup in windows xp pro without a floppy drive?

  I'm trying to do a full backup of my external hard drive with windows xp pro, but my dell did not come with a floppy drive installed.  It won't let me choose another drive to make the start of the startup disk or reboot disk.

  Most likely your external drive is formatted using FAT32. The maximum value
  size of the file for this file system is 4 GB less than a byte. Reformat your
  external hard drive to NTFS (or use the Convert command):

• Floppy drive to ASR disk not recognized at the end of the backup on external drive

  Before you back up to an external hard drive, I'm warned I need a disc to record recovery system information.  Once the backup is complete, I said that he cannot make the ASR diskette because there is no disk drive.  But there is a car and I loaded it with a new DVD.  It shows the disc and the MBs available on the DVD by clicking on 'computer '.  How can I get the backup program from Vista to recognize that the floppy drive is there and ready to accept the ASR information?

  Hi RitaGowen,

  (a) edition of windows vista you run on the computer?

  (b) how exactly you are trying to back up files? You try to create an automated system recovery (of the ASR system) disk?

  Please, give the full error you receive to better understand the issue.

• How do I create an ASR without floppy drive?

  is it possible to create an ASR without floppy drive, can I do the computer using a USB key instead?
  as you know all computers are more equipped with floppy drives.
  any help is appreciated.

  The answer to the original question is:

  You do not have.

  If you are using in relying on the built in NT backup to back up your system, it is the primitive technology (because he wants obviously - a floppy disk).  If you have a disaster (even minor), you'll have a big problem.

  If you want to make a backup, it is logical to use modern technology - and it is not integrated with XP.

  There are many popular options for XP Backup and imaging software (s) of third parties.

  A people a popular seem to love East of Acronis.

  With this (free 30 day trial) you save, make a bootable CD or USB bootable (which is modern, huh?) and use disaster.

  They used to have a completely free version - maybe no more - just the trial, then you must buy it, but it is highly respected.

  It is so much more robust than the XP Backup, it's laughable.

  Many other options if you do a little research on Google...

  Here are a few products that PML suggested could be appealing:

  Paragon backup and restore

• Backup to an external drive

  I use XP and backup to store my entire system to an external drive (WD Passport Essential). Three hours of this last, everything seems to have properly stored on the external hard drive. Then, I got a message "no available recovery ASR diskette floppy drive cannot be created. I have a valid backup on my HDD external that I could use in case I need to do a recovery?

  My advice to you is to renounce the backup utility built-in to Windows XP (NTBackup.exe) and you get a disk imaging or disk cloning application.

  If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get it from WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list and is in no particular order):

• Is there a way to create an ASR on a CD instead of a floppy disk? Most of the PCs/laptops have no more floppy drives. Y at - it an update of this utility?

  As a last resort, a USB floppy drive will work?

  jkovich,
  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum. Unfortunately XP Backup does not support backing up directly to a CD.  I suppose that a USB floppy drive will work if your system sees it as drive A. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• Cannot transfer Time Machine backups on the new drive

  I store my backup Time Machine on a Seagate 1.5 TB drive when the drive starts giving errors.  I had files on this computer and was able to transfer all except for 2 who were on unreadable sectors.  Fortunately, one of these files was an older archived version that I could afford to give up and the other was a temporary file in the photo library and since all other items were okay, I think I'm good.

  The problem came when I tried to transfer my Time Machine backup of 800 GB for a new disk.  When I copy and Exact-paste (cmd-opt-shift-v) the Backups.backupdb to the new drive, it gets the extent of November 23, 2015 and then dies because reports of the Console to the system, it gets an IO error when you try to read:

  /Library/SystemMigration/history/migration-245250B6-4F52-4FBB-BD61-546A8C19CCD5/ QuarantineRoot/private/var/db/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_x86_64

  in the relevant backup.  And because it's an IO error it simply abandons the whole process so I have no backup from November 23, included, for now.

  Because the disc is unstable, I wasn't able to use disk utility to make repairs on it.  The disc is what is and I have to deal with the mess, that I do not have the disorder, that I would have.

  I tried to manually place the missing files in the database, but the operating system will not let me.  I want to just copy my backup / OS X stop abandonment and be more like Windows and give me the options to "try again" or "fail" instead of just quitting!  I mean, why should I lose my backup all hierarchy of 23 November and beyond, simply because you cannot read a file, a file that I could simply replace in the backup of the current version or you can just ignore it.

  I tried to copy files on and setting xattr on them to be backup items, but they are wrong.  I tried chflags parameter to make the writable directory, but it does not work.  I can't copy the missing files to fix my archives.  Help.

  Please, don't try to transfer backups of a failed drive. Placing the disk aside until you don't know no longer you need the data, then delete and recycle. Start a new backup set on the new drive. For more security, you always have more than one backup.

• Will there be another windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

  Will there be another Windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

  Hello

  Disks: I don't think so. I always keep 25 floppy disks for Windows 95, should be a few thousand disks for Windows 10. Very, very, very expensive to store files and transport.

  Of DVD: would soon come out, new machines will have 10 Windows (who knows) pre-installed or downloaded. You can always find Windows 10 DVD in some countries where users will still have to use dial-up Modem.

  Hope it makes sense.

• Should I the "intego personal backup" on my new drive of lace

  Should I the "intego personal backup" on my new drive of lace? I just want to copy music than I do in my logic music program.

  I would also like to know the best way to copy my music from my old lacie drive to my new. Thanks for your help!

  The best way is to use Time Machine (installed natively with Mac OSX). Its as simple as turning on Time Machine via the Mac system preferences and selecting your new Lacie drive as backup destination.  Depending on what model of mac you have the thunderbolt peut port not to go to the "standby" and Lacie drive (or possibly any other drive connected by thunderbolt) will continue to run while you will need to keep "non-montage" (eject, not physically well). This 'non-montage' can be done via disk utility which is located by clicking on Launchpad.

  To work around the small annoying problem is that you will need to use a USB connection which should put it off, but the transfer rate may be slower.

• PROTECTED P4000 - update the BIOS without a floppy drive

  Hello

  I have a P4000 protégé who, I believe, was initially purchased without floppy drive. Now that I'm the Win XP operating system upgrade I need to install more memory, and like many other forum members point out it will not work without a BIOS update.

  However the BIOS available on the site is for the installation of Tranditional only and requires a floppy drive (which I did not). Is it possible to obtain a version that runs under Windows, or find another way to start the traditional installation? The site seems to suggest that the installation of Windows is favored, but the software is not provided.

  Thank you.

  Hello Sir

  As much as I know upgrade memory is not dependent on the latest version of the BIOS, and if you use compatible module there are not any problem. Anyway, I'm not 100% sure but I think you can do the BIOS update using the SD card.

  If you have the time and opportunities please try it and let us know if it works.

  By the way: all the updates to the BIOS are on the Toshiba download page and there are no other versions.

  Good bye

• Satellite A500-17 x - recovery of Bios without a floppy drive

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500-TX.

  My BIOS has been updated via the windows application, but the laptop has hung up and restarted (duh!). Now quite understandable, the laptop starts and doesn't show yet anything on the screen when powered on (I guess that the bios is damaged).

  I found several ways to reflash the bios by using a floppy drive, but the problem is that the laptop is not equipped with a floppy drive.

  Can anyone recommend sort reflash the bios with the floppy drive? Maybe by putting in the shape of the USB as a floppy drive and start? I tried to use the usb reflash via the method of phoenix

  .. .but does not.

  any help would be appreciated!

  > My BIOS has been updated via the windows application, but the laptop has hung up and restarted (duh!).
  S is a shame and in my opinion, there is no real alternative for you about contact Toshiba service agent.
  If you're lucky, just the ROM module could be reflashed, but in the worst cases, the motherboard may be dead.

• Satellite A105 boot up from the HARD drive, no floppy drive or CD-ROM

  Even after C - MOS set up, system boot from HDD, no floppy drive, or a CD-ROM.

  Is there a specific setting to set these controls in the model of Satellite A-105?

  Hello

  Do you mean an external floppy drive and external drive CD-ROM or one which is integrated?

  If you want to boot from the internal CD-rom drive if you have 3 possibilities.

  1. change the boot order in the BIOS to CD player
  2. by pressing the C key immediately after starting the laptop
  3. by pressing the F12 key immediately after your laptop to go and choose the CD drive

  I think you should also be sure that you want to boot from the bootable CD.
  If the CD is not bootable you will not be able to boot from the drive.

  PS: If you want to boot from the floppy drive you can press on instead of the C button U key

• Toshiba 5200/100 - replacing the CMOS battery for floppy drive work

  Device still works fine, Windows 3.1.
  Start now, by setting the time & date (CMOS battery).
  However, recently the floppy drive is NOT "ready".

  Would it be useful to replace the CMOS battery for the floppy drive works again?
  Please advise. Any advise welcome. T.I.A.

  NAP - Gent - Belgium

  Hello

  Battery CMOS is needed to keep the BIOS settings.
  It seems that the CMOS battery is empty if you need set the date and time always in the BIOS settings. But the CMOS battery has nothing to do with the floppy drive.
