    You should not use these programs, but if you want a USB key to install then you should make an ISO file and then using Unebootin according to me this is a best software to USB for xp and if you have windows 7 installed in one of your system, then you can use tool usb windows 7.

  • How to fix a packaging error - "cannot copy the linked files?

    I use a file that I used previously to a directory.  I rename to use the layout, but use all of the new images, etc.  It shows all links are good in the document, but when I go to package, I get the message that it cannot copy the related files.  I have InDesign CC 2014 and OS X El Capitan.  Any ideas on a fix?

    Looking for special characters in link names. I think that only dashes and underscores (maybe a few others) are allowed in file names. Also look for foreign language characters.

  • Restore failed image because of the message error "system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002). Is my file of the backup OK folder structure?

    I had to reinstall clean Windows 7 64-bit because of the failure of the RAID 1. I have a picture of my original installation system, but I can't restore it; everything I try, I get the message "system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002).  I work through a number of possible solutions, without success so far.

    According to the kb/951002 (that is for Vista but I can't find an alternative for Win 7) I made sure that the SYSTEM account has read permission for the backup folders and subfolders.  However, the file structure of the specified in the above article backup folder is different from my image file structure.  Specifically, article specified a structure of 'N.zip' file for the backup files but mine are a mixture of XML documents and VHD - i.e. no "zip" files Also, my GlobalCatalog file does not what kind of file, for example, it wouldn't ".wbcat" required file type specified in the article.

    The differences above could explain the inability to restore the image and if so, any ideas on what to do about it?

  • How to print after the Error Msg: cannot convert the postscript file

    "Maverick", we installed our MacBook Pro and our printer is a HP 8600.  We have failed to get our Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 to print our PDF files.  Instead, we got the error msg: impression: cannot convert the postscript file.  We have used this application for years without any problem.  How do we solve this problem so that our request will BE "convert postscript file" or do we not have to spend several hundred dollars to upgrade?

    I think that we have solved the problem.  Instead of looking for the solution via Adobe, we went to our info from the printer online, which was the HP OfficeJet 8600.  We found the printer drivers special for our system of operating newly installed Maverick for our MacBook Pro.  After having downloaded and installed the new drivers by fashion, we tested print a pdf document, and it was printed without any problems.

  • System cannot find the specified file (installation HPC4680)

    I tried to install the HP C4680 without result. I get the system cannot find the file specified error meessage. It is a brand new computer. Windows 8. I already followed instructions from another post on how to uninstall and I restarted the computer.

    Hello amywatsand welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I see your are your printer installation issues.  I would like to help.

    I would say uninstalling the software of the printer.

    Once it is uninstalled, I suggest you put your system in clean boot mode in the configuration of Microsoft.  You can do this by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.

    Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest to reinstall the HP printer install wizard for Windows.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
