Flash drive/computer backup

• Need assistance, transfer of files to a flash drive for backup.

  I need to delete my aol files to a flash drive for storage. I tried to find the path on my pc but cannot locate. I need to know if it is possible? Also, I need to know if I'll be able to open the mails from the flash drive after I download, it is possible to download the flash player.

  You will not be able to move your emails of aol.com to your USB key (they are on a website, not your computer) If you are using AOL desktop, you may, but you will probably not be able to open them. In any case, it is a site of firefox support, not AOL, I would contact them.

• I want to use a flash drive for backup, BUT I want a full backup of the entire drive.

  I had once an external drive for backup.  It was supposed to be a backup that would replace everything and put it back where it was.  I cheated because when I got to use it I found that it would reinstall was certain documents and photos.  None of my downloads and all the update programs has been lost. I wanted a mirror image!

  Now, I think a full image on a flash drive would be the way to go, but I don't know what software to use.

  I need help from someone who has this software and a USB flash drive.  Thank you

  Hello

  1/10 1.5 TB = 150 GB - buy a 150 GB flash drive (if you could find it on the market today) could cost you an arm and a leg. Buy a 1 to external portable HARD drive can cost you a little more $ 100.

  I hope this helps.

• Using a USB flash drive for backup more driver and application backup recovery

  I have a 32 GB flash drive I used to create a recovery for my Aspire S7 backup using Windows 8.1. I understand that in creating this backup everything on the flash drive is deleted before creating backup. Can I now use this drive for other purposes, e.g., pilots and backup applications, pictures, documents, etc., or this flash drive now should he remain dedicated to the sole purpose of being a backup recovery?

  Hi zimmerbob

  I keep as a backup to dedicated recovery flash drive and use one for drivers & applications.

  It is always wise to keep the recovery discs, as well as the recovery disks. Flash memory is quite inexpensive for the moment!

• HP Pavilion g6 Notebook Windows 8 flash drive system backup and recovery

  I have a HP Pavilion Notebook PC g6 with an operating system of Windows 8. I want to create a feedback system for recovery with a flash drive. The HP support assistant says that a minimum 22GB flash disk is required. I bought a 32 GB Cruzer flash drive and tried to create my recovery disk. Although my computer recognizes the device, the HP Wizard not to light up when I pushed the flash drive option and the position of the screen continued to read insert the media device. It was'nt by registering or by recognizing that I had inserted device. In one of the pages HP I was reading, he said not to use a widows compatible flash 8 player! I don't understand. What should I do? What kind of flash drive I should get that would do the job and what size of capacity? Please, please help me someone!

  Hello

  The problem is caused by the application Recovery Media Creator not recognizing flash drives that show, like 'Fixed readers'-, it will only recognize the flash drives that appear as a "removable disk.  In the example below, Dave (G) shows as a reader fixed and won't work, while removable disk (H) will work.

  

  Unfortunatelt there is no totally reliable method to predict what flash drives are suitable, but thanks to @erico the following flash drives known to work.

• I have enough space on the flash drive backup but message says no space.

  Original title: complete PC Backup

  I have Windows XP on my computer and try again to back up my computer before a move.  I have two 2 64 GB San disk flash disks that should accommodate more than what I have on my computer.  However, I get the message that one of flash drives is not enough, so I inserted the following - which is not big enough.  Positively, I don't have that much on my computer to consume up to 128 GB of backup space.  Do I need to use a different backup program other than that of the control panel?  Is there another one that is good, useful, fast?  Help!

  If you are using in relying on the built in NT backup to back up your system, it is the primitive technology (obviously - since you will be asked for a floppy disk when it is done).  If you have a disaster (even minor), you'll have a big problem trying to retrieve your orders if you do not have a floppy drive - and maybe even if you do not have a floppy drive you are most likely still a big problem if you need to restore your stuff.

  If you want to make a backup, an image, or a sort of clone of your system, it makes sense to use modern technology - and that the technology is not integrated into XP.

  There are many popular options for XP Backup and imaging software (s) of third parties.

  A people a popular seem to like is Acronis.

  With this (free 30 day trial) you backup, you can make a bootable CD or bootable USB (which is modern, huh?) and use than disaster.

  They used to have a completely free version - maybe no more - just the 30 day trial, and then you have to buy, but it is highly respected.

  It is so much more robust than the XP Backup, it's laughable.

  There are many other options if you do a little research on Google...

  Here are a few products that other users of the forum could be appealing.  Use Google to find and read about their features and capabilities.  Some have free versions, or you can buy to get more features:

  If you have a Western Digital drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD:

  http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?Swid=119

  Or you can get the backup software and cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

  Acronis True Image Home
  EASEUS ToDo Backup free
  Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
  Casper
  Norton Ghost

  Some disk cloning software for you to Google ideas:

  XXClone
  Marcium account
  DriveImageXML
  Acronis True Image Home 11
  EASEUS ToDo Backup
  Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
  Casper
  Norton Ghost

  No matter what method you choose, it is prudent to test your method of end to end to make sure that it works.

  You can create a temporary folder somewhere on your system and copy a bunch of files, perform your backup, and then delete the temporary folder and don't forget that you can retrieve your backup.

  The day you have your backup/restore process to work is not the day, namely that it does not work.

• How to get windows xp re - install for installing the flash drive to the computer error portable "windows\system32\config\system".

  My Acer Aspire One has error "windows\system32\config\system" How can I get a copy of windows xp original usb? When I bought the

  computer laptop windows xp made & paid for. Product key is on the back. Can I download & reinstall using a flash drive?

  C:\Windows\system32\config\system is one of the files that make up the system registry.  Backups of the system registry files are kept in the 'C:\System Volume Information' folder under the system restore program.  Probably all you need to do is copy of registry backups in the Windows\system32\config folder.  A reinstall of windows may not be necessary.

  To do this is to start your machine from a free "Live Linux" thumb drive.  You can create a startup disk Ubuntu here:
     <>http://www.Ubuntu.com/download/Ubuntu/download >

  Follow the instructions of "Try me" and you should be able to copy backups of registry in place.  Windows has "Hidden doubling" the System Volume Information folder, but Linux doesn't seem to have any problems with it.  After starting from the Thumb Drive Linux, follow the instructions in the following article from part 2, step 6, using the graphical interface of Linux to copy files (right click copy, make a right click Paste) instead of the lines of command in the article.  With a little patience, you can restore the registry from a backup, and be back in operation

• USB Flash drive can be used only on 1 computer?

  I have the Cruzer Blade Flash Drive 8 GB USB key.

  It seems that I can use it only on a single computer. I am running Windows XP Home SP3.

  When I try to copy files to the flash drive on the second computer, I get an error message.

  "You are currently on a guest PC you can not create a new online backup. '.

  Please notify.

  DRM

  I decided to call your Technical Support number.

  1-866-SANDISK (726-3475)

  First thing I asked was if I could copy files on the flash drive using SanDisk Secure Access Manager on multiple computers? He said: "Certainly."

  So, then I explained that I was getting the error I described above on computer 2.

  He had me try again. I copied a single 24KO file and this time there was no errors.

  Naturally, I am always intrigued by the error message I received last week. It was agreed that the text of the error message is misleading and can indicate a variety of problems such as a bad sitting flash drive for corrupted data or a user error is a copy & paste or click on & drag. He recommended to click & drag as the best option.

  I make backups more before this closing. But so far so good.

• using usb for file backup flash drives

  When I bought my HP Notebook PC about a year ago I made both of the system recovery discs and disc repair system for windows 7, 64-bit operating system.  My first question is what can I transfer the DVR recovery discs to a USB flash drive and if yes what size GB do I need?  The same question for the repair disk.  Are readers flash reading and writing?

  Also, I have a large number of CD with photo and DVD with slideshow and vidios and music.  I want to transfer them from flash drives for the primary purpose of the ease of storage and portability.

  Any suggestions would be apprieciated. TIA

  Again, during a support request, please provide the model name and product number complete (p/n) of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

  Having the above information allows us to provide you with the best possible answers.

  I don't think you can use a USB Flash drive with Windows System Image backup tool. A NTFS formatted external hard drive USB 60 GB or more should work. Any USB 2.0 / 3.0 about 500 GB to 1 TB external hard drive would work for your object. Yes, I know it's more you want, but it is what will work.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  Original title: I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305-S5894 with Windows Vista Home Premium installed (32 bit).  Unable to get a backup to a flash drive.

  After back back, very many updates of windows, my computer is full of problems and it is not representative of the restore points far enough back to correct.  I want really to save my data and programs for flash drive (s) and then go for a full recovery of the system (return to factory).  When you try to do the backup on a 4 GB USB key I get an error including 0 x 81000029.  I have seen posted answers to this.  Everything is included to aid Vista disk from the window which was not included when I bought my computer. Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  The following article should be useful. To use system recovery options, you have Vista installation disc. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) repeatedly will install on the computer Windows recovery environment. To cross check if it is installed, try the following steps.

  1 start the computer and press the F8 key continuously to get advanced boot menu options.
  2. on the menu advanced startup options, check if the Startup Repair tool is in the list.
  3. If so, select it and press ENTER.
  4. If not, then you should organize a Vista installation disc.

• Vista backup cannot reuse the same flash drive

  How can I reuse my flash drive to another backup? Vista knows it has been used before, even if I deleted the old backup.
  thanx

  Hi Joy77,

  Is there anything else being stored on another flash drive backups? Otherwise, you might save a few headaches and just format your drive.

  Warning

  • Formatting a volume will destroy all data on the partition. Be sure to make backups of all the data to save before you begin.

  • You cannot format a disk or partition that is currently in use, including the partition that contains Windows.

  • Quick format is a formatting option that creates a new file table, but do not completely overwrite or erase the volume. A quick format is much faster than a normal format, which fully erases the existing data on the volume.

  1. Open Computer Management by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools and then double-click computer management.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  2. In the Navigation pane, under storage, click Disk Management.

  3. Right-click the volume you want to format and then click on format.

  4. To format the volume with the default settings in the dialog box format, click OK, and then click OK again.

     For more information about the formatting of a partition, see create and format a hard disk partition.
