Error: ""format has not completed successfully.

I have a Western Digital 2 TB hd that won't format with the error next message ' 'format was not entirely successful.

1. my bios update and see it as 2 TB.

2. I have Vista sp2

3. I received the same error with a disc of 2 TB hitachi last week, so I went back the hitachi and bought a wd.

4. when I tried a long format, it ends at 54%, which seems to be a common problem when searching the Internet, but I couldn't find a solution.

Any useful help?

  • Windows Backup has not completed successfully error Code: 0x807800B4

    I've just set up this computer with Windows 7 Pro SP1, I installed a bunch of apps, do a disc repair system and now I'm trying to save up to a central device part DLINK which is my data storage component only CE.  (Appointed: DLINK-4AB714).  Backup windows will not let me create a system image, because the device doesn't use NTFS file system and it says that it cannot protect the backup.  Frankly, I don't like the so-called protection. I want it to save the dam of the road anyway.  Now, I tried twice with the normal process of backup tries to back up the drive c: as well as of the information system.  This gets more and creating a shadow copy and then begins to back up the data files, but one) it takes forever to displays detailed information, making it necessary for me to leave and let the computer do its work without supervision and b) somewhere in the process, it fails.

    It is supposed to be about 77 gigabytes of data on the disc and or the backup attempt exceeded about 15 GB.  The system is running Norton Internet Security, something that came with the motherboard that I bought, and I don't know if that is the cause of the problems or not.  It isn't Norton 360, which also has a backup function.  What I don't see is a lot of network activity between the computer and the DLINK, even Sharing Center when I see the backup giving me details about the files to be backed up.  I wonder if, somehow, the network inactivity is involved.

    Somehow, I have to get a full backup so that I can reconfigure my hardware and software of restoration. This is my current goal, but without the aid of successfully complete I can't move forward.

    Hi Henry, glad to hear that you are trying to do the right thing, better is now than regret it later.

    The error messages are warnings only (mine said safeguards would be unsecured), you should still be able to select the network as a viable situation drive, I tested it and it worked fine for me.

    See the answer to this question: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/can-not-backup-windows-7-to-shared-mac-drive/4168a89c-a2fc-4350-bab2-7ec28ce155ff

    If this doesn't help not you plan backup on a USB and then manually copying the backup to your network storage.

    My last option for you is to watch a 3rd third party tool for backup instead.

  • Windows backup did not complete successfully.

    My backups attempts continue to fail with "Windows backup has not completely managed" and when I click on the 'Options' button, it gives me the details of why and wrote "the disk where your backups are saved doesn't have enough free space.

    That is TOTALLY INCORRECT (it is a 1 TB 1000 GB hard drive) and my Windows 7 disc has only about 500 GB on it).

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed (a clean install, not upgrade). I'm looking to back up from my boot drive (it's a multiboot machine, this time Vista Ultimate 64 on drive C: and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on drive E :).) I have three other drives in this workstation HP xw 8200, two of them are used for backups, that is, "backups (Vista) (d)" and "backups (Windows 7) (f). All discs are 1 TB disks.

    Okay, I realize NOW, the problem is that in Windows 7, when I use the default settings for backup, the utility is trying to establish an Image of TIMES my disk of Vista (c) system and the Windows disk (E :), which of course well exceeds the space that I have on my unique physical backup disk.) I realized this after I chose the option to just an image of the system and it shows the selected physical disks (C: and E :) with NO WAY to deselect the C: Vista drive even if I booted from a disk system/physical separate (Windows 7). This seems to be a very poor interface or inconsistent WRT backup under Windows 7. Vista Ultimate UI for backup did NOT have this behavior (i.e., it ONLY allows me to make an image of the C: drive system, for example, my Vista drive when I boot on Vista).

    Original tile: appeared at the end of backup when the error message appeared. "The reverse was not entirely successful. The request was abandoned. (0x800704D3)

    Recently I had a problem with the combo of virus/malware.  Antivirus 2010, was then brought by an another 'guru' to download StopZilla.com who started the Delete files accompanying the computor.  I have kept and can't get rid of the problem, so decided to back up files, and then put in recovery disks.  Appeared at the end of backup files with the ninth disk, when the error message above has occurred.

    Seen also it is suggested to get an external hardware, but what about hang the laptop to existing pc?  Would you do that?  What wiring do I need?

    Hi beltwaytraveler,

    1. you have any third-party backup program installed?

    2 have you tried to use a different backup disk?

    Method 1:

    You can temporarily uninstall third-party anti-virus on your computer protection software and then check if the problem occurs.

    Note: Be sure to install the security software on the computer after you fix the problem.

    Method 2:

    You can also try to uninstall any third-party backup program installed on the computer and try the backup.

    Method 3:

    You try to run the following command and check if all third-party services are running other Microsoft services.

    a. Click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right click Guest and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    b. type the following command and press ENTER:

    vssadmin list writers

    c. check the VSS writers listed.

    If you see any third-party service other than Microsoft services running, and then let us know about it.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Java update has not completed windows error code 1603

    When I try to update Java on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, the Setup program ends with an error message "Java update has not ended. Error code: 1603. Please consult the Help Center Java to correct that information or contact your system administrator. »

    Java Help Center is not useful. It indicates that this is a known issue and is being researched. This status is apparently true for over a year with no resolution, it seems as if not enough resources are devoted to research. The subject alluded to the possible incompatibility with Microsoft MS14-049 KB2918614 security update.

    I uninstalled KB2918614 and still the same error.

    I uninstalled Java 7, rebooted the PC and tried to install Java 8 and got the same error. Then I installed the update of Java 7 79 and it worked, but I can't go beyond Java 7 for an evolutionary support for Java edition.


    These all fail:

    JRE-8u45-windows - i586.exe

    JRE-8u45-windows - x 64 .exe

    JRE-8u60-windows - i586.exe

    JRE-8u60-windows - x 64 .exe


    Favorite using your search engine Internet web searches will bring up many people having the same problem, but no final solution. Variations on uninstall all versions of Java and re - install, change the language to English settings, remove KB2918614, use the Offline Installer, use the installer of auto update online, hack the registry, etc., but it's as if all of this is purely by accident lucky work around solutions and there is no real real an official answer as to what is happening. I tried them all and I still can't get Java 8 to install. I can't update Java.

    1. What is the solution to the 1603 error?
    2. If I stick with Java 7 forever?
    3. And although my OS 64-bit computer, must I install the i586 or x 64 Java, or both?


    Screenshots of the error:

    Java1Capture.JPG

    Java2Capture.JPG

    On a whim, I disabled McAfee VirusScan 8.8 and Alto! installing Java 8 worked.

    There is no message in my logs VSE VSE was the cause. However I saw messages clearly connected "would be blocked by an Access Protection rule (rule is currently not applied)" but in fact, they are apparently put into force and prevent the successful install Java 8. Or at least that's my theory.

    What's new on Java 8 and VSE VSE to prevent installation of Java 8?
