Catastrophic error when I try to back up my files

When I try to back up my files, I cannot and I get a catastrophic error response. What, if any, are my options?

Hello
1. have you tried the suggestions posted earlier?
This problem occurs because the backup process detects that the system drive is dirty.

Windows Vista backup always includes the system as part of the backup drive. If the system drive is dirty, the backup process skips the system drive, and no snapshot of the system drive is created. Therefore, the backup cannot locate a snapshot of the system drive later, and the error occurs.
 
To resolve this problem, run the disk check to fix the error on the system drive. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the article below:
 
Error message when you try to perform a backup system on a Windows Vista-based computer: "catastrophic failure (0x8000FFFF)".
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/973558

Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.
Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Blue screen error when you try to print Adobe PDF files

    Original title: the computer crashes when I try to print Adobe PDF files.

    I unintalled and reinstalled remains 9.3.3 and it still won't print. The OS crashes when you try to print a .pdf file. I can open the document and view the file but not print, just the blue screen and restarts. I opened a word document, print and print text files. It will print anything but Adobe files. Is there any help out there?

    HonoriusIII

    Thank you for your support and help Sicard. I finally got to the last version of Adobe as the culprit. It seems that the latest version 9.3.3 was causing problems. I uninstalled the software, cleaned the registry and other remains and installed the various editions of Adobe. Seems that Vista likes only one software version which proved Adobe 8.0. Once I installed the software, found a few .pdf documents and tried to print. Not only did it print well, it was very fast. Of all the places to find the 8.0 Adobe has been installed on my recovery disks. I don't think Microsoft product (s) are the root cause. Something in Adobe was the cause of the crash. I have the error message has not write against accidents, but it dumped memory and restart is fine, no conflict of driver. Only thing I did after each accident was to defragment. the hard drive and RAM by using certain tools. Vista ran fine since. I know a lot of people out there do not like Vista, but I did have a lot of problems with the software. I found problems with other types of competing software and work with software developers using their products in beta. The crash of the problems were not these beta products. I believe in keeping software simple and effective, it seems that Adobe will conversely making it too complicated software and an application's entire concept.

    Thanks for you help,

    I downloaded a video file from the internet. In the download folder, I tried to move in my external hard drive. Whenever I try, I get: "error 0 x 80070571: the disk structure is corrupted and unreadable".

    What can I do? What is the solution?

    (1) were there any changes to the computer prior to this problem?
    (2) version of Windows do you use?
    (3) have you tried to connect the external hard drive on another computer?
    (4) is the issue limited only with this file or with each of them?
    (5) have tried to move the files to the external hard drive?
     
    Try to do a Chkdsk Scan. The scan will look bad system files and will attempt to fix them, if possible.
    (a) click the Start button.
    (b) type cmd in search results.
    (c) click the cmd file and select "Run as Administrator".
    (d) in the CMD window, type chkdsk /f /r and press the Enter key.
    For example, f:\chkdsk/f/r, f: here being the external hard drive.
     
    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.
    Note: Chkdsk /f /r enables chkdsk check the volume for errors bad sectors on the physical disk and file system. Chkdsk /f /r schedules itself to run at the next system reboot, by adding an entry in the BootExecute value.

  • Error when you try to insert the bitmap file

    Hello!

    I have a problem with the symbol editor in Multisim 11.  When I try to insert a bitmap the entire program crashes.

    I would like to have the symbol Opamp in multisim. See: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Normsymbol_OPV.svg

    How can I do this?

    Thank you!

    mikcon

    Hi Mikcon,

    I have install Multisim 11.0 take your symbol and resize it and saved as a bitmap.

    Then I opened the component wizard and try to create a new component with your symbol of OPV and everything works fine without errors or accidents.

    Here some screenshots for you:

    So most likely your Multisim Installation is corrupted.

    Please try to repair your Multisim and again test this issue.

  • I get security errors when you try to open a pdf file.

    I received a security error when trying to run my javascript program, the function has worked before, but now creates an error after I entered the addWaterMark function. I put my entire code below for my script.

    The basic function is to load a text file in a table which has the path location and file, open the document, add a watermark, save the file, close the file, and then repeat for the next position of table.

    I use Acrobat Standard so I'm unable to debug using the console, that's why I'm fighting for what I'm doing wrong. I want to clarify that I am not a fluent programmer, only to have a knowledge of database programming.

    Code

    () app.addSubMenu

    {

    cName: "Extras."

    cParent: 'change '.

    }

    )

    () app.addMenuItem

    {

    cName: "Import a file"

    cParent: "Extras."

    cExec:"main().

    }

    )

    main() function

    {

    fileCount = 0 var

    var listOfFiles =]

    listOfFiles = importData()

    amountOfFiles = listOfFiles.length

    for (var i = 0; I < listOfFiles.length; i ++) //calculates amount in the listOfFiles array entries

    {

    newFile = openFile (listOfFiles [i]) //Opens current file

    var d = app.activeDocs; Gets the name of the current document title

    addWater (d [0]);

    app.execMenuItem ('Save');

    for (var x d) d [x] .closeDoc ();

    }

    }

    function addWater (myName)

    {app.alert("watermark",0);

    () myName.addWatermarkFromText

    {

    cText: "OBSOLETE."

    cFont: "Arial,"

    nFontSize:36,

    aColor: color.red,.

    nOpacity: 0.5

    }

    );

    }

    SaveFile function saves the current file but with an addition of WM file name

    saveFile = app.trustedFunction (function (currentDoc, currentFileName)

    {app.alert("savefile",0);

    app.beginPriv ();

    currentDoc.saveAs (currentFileName);

    app.endPriv ();

    }

    );

    openFile function that opens the file named in the variable currentFilename

    openFile = app.trustedFunction (function (currentFileName)

    {app.alert ("openfile" + currentFileName, 0);}

    app.beginPriv ();

    app.openDoc (currentFileName);

    app.endPriv ();

    }

    );

    importData function matter the paths and the file names contained in the list.txt located on the desktop

    importData = app.trustedFunction (function)

    {app.alert ("import", 0);

    app.beginPriv ();

    cFilePath = ' / C/Users/103019944/Desktop/File_List.txt ';

    var stmData = util.readFileIntoStream (cFilePath);

    cData var = util.stringFromStream (stmData);

    CMSG var = cData;

    var fileArray = cMsg.split("\r\n");

    for (var i = 0; i < fileArray.length; i ++)

    Return (fileArray);

    app.endPriv ();

    }

    );

    It happens with a specific file? Are you sure that the file path is correct?

  • Get the "Access denied" error when you try to play all video files in another folder on my external hard drive.

    A couple of days, I've had accidentally one of the folders slipped on my hard drive in the folder above him and was presented with the "Access denied" error messages when I tried the two a) reglisser it out & b) open it from the record she had been driven to (which was not a folder of my making that is a jibberish titled folder containing two .vdm files it contains first)

    After receiving advice of a friend, I did a restore from safe mode on the eve of the day when he moved and he did bring him back with all the files and files in the right place, but now I'm getting an access denied for each file, I try to play. Whether Real Player, Windows Media Player etc none will play.

    Just to test, I slipped a .avi file in the folder to see if he was going to play and he did it can be the folder settings, I'm just hoping that all these files are now not corrupted and unplayable as I have some 180 GB of data in this folder in more than 1000 files.

    Check your paths of old type, retype you the original line on or did you press return back on the orig line until there was nothing out there, created a new line of text and type in the new address?

    That's what I think might happen watch in work/overview.

  • Error when you try to convert a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat 8.1.7

    Trying to convert a PDF drawing/file in TIF format, one of our users receive this error message:

    Acrobat could not save a page in this document due to the following error:

    The image is too wide at the exit.  Please, crop or reduce the resolution and try again.

    The image that is being converted is a design and the estimator cannot crop it as he should have the design "such what" order to do takeoffs on the image.  Does anyone have a solution for this?  Thank you!

    Try to print in a new PDF which is small and try again in the conversion. A roundabout way to get there, but should work.

  • Update Firefox, now I get an error when you try to open the .mkv files, but not other video files

    I created an html page of cinema at home with links to movies on my hard drive. I have two types of links or href = 'file:///C:/Media/movies/Looney Tunes/MainMovie/Vol 1 Disc 3/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS. IFO' for normal DVD or href = "file:///C:/Media/movies/Blu-ray/Lorax/mkv/THE_LORAX/THE_LORAX.Title800.mkv" for blu - ray. Both have worked fine (click on the link and the movie starts to play with Media Player Home Cinema) for a few years until what I recently upgraded to firefox. The .ifo files still open as usual, but now blu - ray links take me to a gray page that says "Video cannot be read because the daughter is corrupt" with a large "X" over it. If I open the html page in Internet Explorer and click on the link, it works very well (blu - ray opens by using Media Player Home Cinema). Also, if I directly open the .mkv files, they play very well (open using MPHC). Thanks for any help!

    Change your links to include the attribute type with the value of video/x-matroska . Example:

    <a type="video/x-matroska" href="file:///C:/My%20Videos/Cooking/Making%20Gingerbread.mkv">How to make gingerbread</a>

    I also used to get the same behavior with files from web sites, when I had the extension of InlineDisposition installed.
