Error "failure 0x8000FFFF catastrophic" when running on Vista computer backup system

Original title: you try to run the backup.
You save stopped running, catastrophic failure 0x8000FFF error message.

Hello

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.

Refer to this article and follow the steps to solve the problem:

  • Download error - cannot download anything on the windows vista computer.

    When I try to download anything, it says that Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\shockwave_Installer_Slim.exe '. Then he said, make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. I hope you can help me.

    Original title: download error

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    It seems that you have problems with downloading files on the windows vista computer.

    The description of the problem seems a little unclear and I wish I had a better understanding before you start working on it. I would appreciate if you can help me with the following information.

    1. what browser you use on the computer?

    2. What is the exact full error message?

    3. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

    4. deal with this problem if you try to download all files from online?

    If you do this in the face of Internet Explorer help, I suggest that you should change the default download location and check if it helps.

    Method 1

    In internet explorer, you can change the default location.

    Here's how:

    a. open internet explorer.

    b. click on Tools , then select view downloads.

    c. downloads for window, click Options.

    d. now, enter the default download location and click on the OK button.

    Turn on the computer at the beginning of boot and check if the problem persists.

    Method 2

    Perform a clean boot to see if no third-party service is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • Error 0 x 80070534 when you try to save the system from Vista to XP Pro

    Hello

    File sharing works very well between my computer laptop Vista Business SP2 and my desktop XP Pro SP3 IE. Can I manually read/write files on the desktop from my laptop and vice versa.

    I want to implement Vista Backup and Restore Center to create a backup of my Vista files on the desktop computer XP Pro.

    Backup and Restore Center, I specify the location of the desktop computer as backup destination:

    \\DESKTOPXXX\BackupFolder (I manually tested this place can I read/write files on this site of the laptop.)

    After that, Vista invites me for a user name and password for the Office:

    Username: MSHOME\Dan (MSHOME is the name shared by two PCs working group)
    Password: xxxx

    This is where I get the error:

    No mapping between account names and security IDS was done. (0 x 80070534)

    No idea why?

    See you soon,.
    Dan

    PS. I use a wireless network.

    Okaaaay, it seems I got it work by using the user name "Dan" rather than "MSHOME\Dan".

    Maybe it's just a stroke of luck, I'll post here if the problem comes back again.
