• Cannot save files on an external drive because of "errors of window 82.

  Product name and number: HP Pavilion 6000 series BV601AA #ABA

  Operating system: Windows 7 Edition Home Premium 64-bit

  Description: I'm trying to save a very large collection of music on an external hard drive so that if something happens to my computer, I have a back up from which to restore. I am using a free program called FreeFileSync, to start to do incremental backups of my music collection on the external drive as it grows. When I used it first, he copied about 15,000 of the 20 000 files without problem. However, for other files 5 000 or more, I was not able to due to "Windows Error 82. As by chance, I get an error from iTunes that tells me that the iTunes library file is not able to save, and I wonder if it can be related to the above problem.

  Other concerns: I tried browsing over the internet a response to this problem without much luck.  Some resources suggest using a registry cleaner, which I've tried without any effect. Other resources suggest using programs such as pc cleaner pro, and reimage.com, which I assume is intended to solve the problems of hard drive. However, almost all programs I've read on this subject might work, cost money which I'd rather not spend if there is a free solution. I am also afraid that if I paid for one of these types of programs they may not necessarily even solve my problem, and then I'm out of some species and still with my original problem. Someone at - it suggestions?

  No, in fact after looking around the answers in the other fourms, I found is that the external drive I was support until the problem in shape. I was doing backups on a disk that has been formatted in FAT32. My problem has been resolved on the reformat in NTFS.

  Hello

  You are welcome

  The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive is detailed from Page 49 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Once this is done, simply use your disks/USB recovery media to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - the procedure is detailed in the document of HP here.

• Hard drives need Consolidation - error "Fault.FileTooLarge.Summary."

  Hey there,

  I'm running a problem on an ESXi 5.0.0 (768111)

  For a virtual machine, it shows 'consolidation of needs', but when I try to start that, the process fails with the error 'Fault.FileTooLarge.Summary '.

  The vmdk is 2 TB, and took a snapshot that has been removed.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Robert

  What is the exact size of the virtual disk? In order to be able to take pictures, the maximum size of virtual disk is 2 032 GB (2 TB less 16 GB). Maybe the warning occurs because the snapshot creation failed! What you can try is to run the consolidation with the virtual machine off. If this does not help, thank you for posting a screenshot of the window of the data store which displays files of the VM (with sizes and timestamps).

• My hard drive has been corrupted and I had to format and reload windows 7. It has worked OK for 6 weeks, but now says it is a counterfeit copy

  My hard drive has been corrupted and I had to format and reload windows 7. It worked OK for 6 weeks, but now says it is a counterfeit copy. I used the original product key, when I rebooted it. Ideas?

  To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
  Once downloaded, run the tool.

• Windows 7 backup error: "backup Windows ignored C:\Users\... because it's on corrupt C:\ drive.»

  Hello

  I bought a new computer recently with Windows 7 installed and regularly use Windows backup since my purchase with no problems.  However, a couple of days, I tried to backup my system and received a message saying that the backup completed, but some files were ignored.  As soon as the journal view, that's what I find:

  Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\Documents backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.
  Windows skipped C:\Users\Public\Documents backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.
  Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\Music backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.
  Windows skipped C:\Users\Public\Music backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.
  Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\Pictures backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.
  Windows skipped C:\Users\Public\Pictures backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.

  Windows skipped C:\Users\Public\Videos backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.
  Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\AppData\Roaming backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.
  Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\AppData\Local backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.

  Backup Windows ignored C:\Users\Jonathan\Saved games as it is on corrupt C:\ drive.
  Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\Searches backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.

  It seems that Windows Backup jumped basically every valuable piece of data on my PC.  I did a search for answers and it seems that when people have this problem backup Windows still do not know the same libraries (pretend to prove that it is not a problem of material with the HARD drive). and the only suggestion I could find was to run the chkdsk utility, then attempt a backup again.  I have since run the utility chkdsk twice and it found no errors, and I continue to have this problem when you save.

  Beyond running the chkdsk utility and reboot for a third time, can anyone help?

  Thanks in advance.

  I think that this is the case because of a virus (incase your pc is not protected or a new threat has developed).

  Please install an antivirus.
  I suggest Microsoft Security Essentials.Scan all the files and then try again.
  Or try freeing up space on the drive you store the backup in the c DRIVE.
  or try to move your important files to an external USB key or hard drive and format your pc :)
  That will solve almost all your problems.
  In case you need help with anything else or this does'nt resolve your problem, mail me or reply to this post of mine.

• Error installation software device driver for removable devices in Windows Vista x 64

  I have Windows Vista x 64 installed on my PC and nVidia Forceware motherboard and graphic cards.

  When I plug in any removable drive into my USB 2.0 port, Windows starts the installation of the device driver software and then sees it as an unknown device. The dialog where he asks me if I want to 'locate and install driver software', 'Ask Me later' or 'don't show this message for this device.

  I select the recommended option: "locate and install driver software.

  I click 'Continue' when Windows asks me permission to continue.

  Then, when the execution of the installer of the software in the bottom right of my screen, the installation of driver software for device, it shows "unidentified device failed.

  Then another window pops up saying this:

  "Found New Hardware - device unknown".

  Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device

  Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.

  Kodak

  An error occurred during the installation of the device:

  The driver for this device is missing a necessary entry. Maybe it's because the file INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.

  If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit their website and check the support section for driver software. »

  That's what he does when I'm trying to connect my Kodak Easyshare M550 digital camera. I would go ahead and contact Kodak, but the problem seems to extend to ANY removable device on my computer.

  For example, I have a Lexar Flashdrive. When I plug it into my USB 2.0 port, it Windows says the following:

  "Windows needs to install driver software for your USB Flash Drive", etc...

  'Install the device driver software', 'USB Flash Drive search Windows Update'...

  Then a window opens asking me to "insert the disk that came with your USB key. Problem is that no driver disk not supplied with the hardware that Windows Vista is supposed to come with the drivers. I know this because the camera and usb flash drive worked very well until I reinstalled Windows Vista on my new hard drive (new installation, because my old hard drive crashed) and I've NEVER had to install device drivers for Windows to recognize it as a removable drive and operate automatically.

  Also, I installed Daemon Tools Lite and I had to manually "Update" the device driver to point to the "Windows\INF" folder in my hard drive, after copying the cdrom files needed for the specific subfolders for windows to let the program assign a drive letter for the drive virtual it creates.

  I think that perhaps not all device drivers have been installed when I installed Windows Vista, this time. If that's the problem, I don't know how that could happen, nor how to fix it, but I really prefer to find a way to solve this problem without reinstalling Windows Vista again. I don't mind not manually install the drivers as long as someone can show me what files to copy and where to find them on the Windows Vista disk that I bought at Microsoft. I KNOW that Windows HAS come with these drivers.

  If anyone knows how I can fix this, please tell me, because it's ridiculous to not be able to use any removable device readers (except for the use of all Flash drives). Thanks in advance.

  I know it can be frustrating to solve problems.

  (A) was this post or hibernation sleep?

  Microsofts troubleshooting KB

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/928631

  (B) the bios settings

  First of all you do not state if you tried to see if there was a setting in bios disabled USB ports during the startup. Or how the bios was set to install devices automatically. If you check your manual site or the motherboard manufacturer

  It will tell you which key to press. And where your USB ports are on or off. Some systems do not have to turn on or off.

  Plug n play OS on conscious

  could help Vista automatically recognize your USB

  (C) what version where do you use? SP1? or gold?

  (D) USB hubs may cause problems just be hubs. Power connected?

  (E) and of course if it is a case check connection in the right port. Return panel slide? plugged into port back?

  Hope something here helps

  Suggestions?

  Hello

  1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  2. which antivirus app do you use?

  I suggest you try these methods and check.

  Method 1:

  Anti-virus software may conflict with Windows Update. You can temporary disable them and check the issue.

  Disable the antivirus software
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
