Error message 0 * 80070057: the parameter is incorrect

Hello

When I try to transfer an MP3 file or video between my computer and my phone (F drive) I get the above message.  This has happened recently, and before the appearance of the message, I was download files without a problem.

I use Vista with proprietory software on a Dell end of 2008.

Any suggestions?

See you soon,.

Try this 1:

Restore point:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

  • Problem copying from inside to the external usb HDD, error 0 x 80070057 the parameter is incorrect. Help please

    I am trying to copy a file from my hard drive internal sata to USB external hard drive when I get the error code: error 0 x 80070057 the parameter is incorrect.

    Windows 7 Ultimate. SP1, all updates applied until 01/06/2013. It is the first time for many years that I was puzzled. Help

    Hey, thanks for the back. But I found that Windows has nothing to do with the problem. Recently I had upgraded to Acronis 2013 and used it to make several copies of my C drive for a total rebuild.

    I decided to move these files to my drive to free up space on my internal hard drive, external usb drive. That's when the trouble started. The four files, I moved only gave problems.

    Still scratching my head on this subject. Auto car, supposed to Acronis TIH2013 must be at fault. So I uninstalled with REVO Uninstaller ATIH2013, to a maximum depth of scan. Then downloaded and installed a new copy of the ATIH2013, made a new image to replace the one which gave the trouble.

    Problem solved!

    The first download of Acronis must have had a bug in the download, the second seems to be clean and working properly.

    Anyway, thanks for the help. I'll keep it in mind in case I ever encounter this problem again.

  • Trying to open Bacup and restore: "an internal error has occurred. The parameter is incorrect. (0 x 80070057) »

    When I first set up the option to Backup and Restore to backup some documents (only) on an external hard drive, I got the error message "an internal error has occurred." The parameter is incorrect. (0 x 80070057). Then when the clock reaches the designated backup time, the computer actually perform the backup. But now I am unable to open the backup center and restoration of anyway, so I can't adjust the time, I can not restore or select other files to back up. I simply do not have access to the backup and restore options. I always get the "an internal error has occurred." The parameter is incorrect. (0 x 80070057)" whenever I try. So I still can not turn off the current backup parameter, which is set to back up every night at midnight.

    Hello Tjohanne
    Please write to the Microsoft Forums.

    This problem can occur because of a bad sector at the end of the volume that you are trying to save.

    However, as a workaround, you can try the following methods:

    (A). if you save the backup files in the first 750 GB hard drive, you can save the backup files in the second hard drive 300 GB with the letter E to test this issue. However, if you save the backup files to the second hard disk 300 GB with letter E first, you can try to save the backup files in the first 750 GB hard drive with the letter C or D.

    Run (B). disk check to check the hard drive
    Note: Please make sure that the DVD DRIVE is the first boot device.
    1. Insert the DVD of Windows 7 and restart the computer.
    2. when we are asked to press a key to boot from the DVD, please press enter or the SPACEBAR.
    3. click on 'Next' and then click 'repair your computer '.
    4 Please, highlight 'Windows 7' and click 'next '.
    Note: A computer can store multiple copies of Windows 7. Please highlight the one that is experiencing problems. The order of the elements in the dialog box is identical to that on the start menu.
    5. in the dialog box titled "System Recovery Options", click on "Command Prompt" and type the following commands. Please press ENTER after each command.

    C:
    CHKDSK /R

    Note: Please replace "C:" with the actual drive letter of the system drive on which Windows 7 is stored.
    6. Please let me know if an error is detected.

    C. now use another backup tool to check if you can back up files on the computer correctly.

  • Error message: C:\Windows\System32\rstrui.exe "the parameter is incorrect."

    I'm so frustrated!  I tried to download Google Earth, and it would not load - so I started to experiment and I really screwed up the system!  Now, I get error messages saying the C drive is not accessible, and access is denied - trying to make a system restore I ge the message above saying the parameter is incorrect.  When I right click on the c drive, it shows that it is TOTALLY FULL - it wasn't a couple of days! I am running Vista 32 bit.  ANY help you can give me will be GREATLY appreciated!  I use the discussion groups in the office all the time and have always been able to get the right answer - I am hoping that will be the case here, although I do understand that this might be a bit more complicated.

    Thanks for getting back with me!  But I was so freaked out I got back my computer gurus and it costs $100, but it's fixed now!  Yes! If she was my own computer I probably would have continued to try here, but because it belongs to someone else, I didn't take a chance of really of screwing.  It turns out that the C drive was full (in color), and yet he says there's ZERO bites on it!  I wish I could be with my guru to see what he did... but at least I am in place and works now, so it's a GOOD thing! :))) Thanks much to answer and try to help me! Have a great week!

  • "The parameter is incorrect" Error Message is displayed on the computer

    I'm running Windows 7 Home Pro on an Asus laptop and recently decided to add my old printer USB, HP Oficejet v40, to our network via a print server, LPR Networking USB wireless home. The Installer seems to fill correctly, and my printer appears in the list of available network printers (I alone). However, when I try to print wireless, I get one or more error messages. The first and the most persistent are: a StartDocPrinter call was not issued. Sometimes (not always) this is accompanied by another popup error: the parameter is incorrect. In each case, the document I am trying to print is no longer in effect. My USB utility Server network sometimes prints, and sometimes it is available. Running the printer troubleshooter cannot correct the problem (s) and always results in the following error: printer HP Officejet V40-P05d0443eb can be contacted via the network. If I connect the printer directly to my laptop, USB port, it prints as expected.

    The print driver is up-to-date. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer and print server and have also tried to reset the print server and the router, to anything will do. Any help to fix these problems is greatly appreciated!

  • Try to change the drive letter, but get the error "the parameter is incorrect."

    I am trying to upgrade my PC to run Windows 7 64 - bit on a new Intel Solid State Drive (SSD). I install Windows 7 from scratch on the new SSD (which uses the drive letter J) have just completed and changed the drive letter of my original system from C to M.

    My intention was to reuse the drive letter C to the SSD, but the Win 7 disk management tool will not allow the use of C. "All I get is a' setting is incorrect" error message.

    My first thought was to check the location of the Windows page file. It was indeed using drive J, so I put the pagefile on the D drive instead and restarted my PC.  However, this has not fixed the problem. I always get "the parameter is incorrect" when I try to use the letter C.

    What else could be the cause of this problem?

    David

    I tried a change of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices registry but it is just screwed to the top of the new installation of Windows on the SSD (it starts in a unusable mode "is not a real installation"). I was not too concerned by what I had already made my decision to reinstall Windows 7 after making changes in bios to disable all disks except the SSD and force a boot from the installation of Win 7 DVD.

    This relocation is now complete and the new partition on the SSD system has the C drive letter. A reboot with the other shows, active records that the original disc of BONE has been reassigned to the next available drive letter.

    My problem is thus solved. If it was the only way to do so is now a moot point.
