Get 'a backup location not valid' when trying to image backup on 64GB Kingston flash drive system.

I am running Windows 7 on a week old HP DV6-6c35dx. I formatted the drive in NTFS but still does not work. I bought the flash drive for this specific thing. Please help since I spent $100 on this flash drive. No matter what n any help is appreciated.

UPDATE: I've been successful this morning to create a bootable USB key. Now, I know it's a stupid stupid question, but I still have more of 40GBs space on this flash drive. Now, can I use this as my weekly data backup? Or is it just stupid? I'm a newb as everyone can see.

I appreciate the answers ive got so far on the first?

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • In the face of "the device associated with this extension or the dial number is not valid" when you use DX80 telepresense phones

    Hi team,

    We have EX and DX series telepresence as endpoints agent. But DX series phones are facing issue "the device associated with this extension or the dial number is not valid" when checking in the agent. EX works very well. Both phones are properly recorded in CUCM.

    Can you please help me out here to solve the problem.

    Thanks in advance,

    Sisi.

    In my case, we tried to do a few different modifications here and there on the DX650 but never managed to do work.  Randomly, I was able to connect to the fineness with the DX650 as my camera, then my colleague could not connect to the Finesse with his 9971 as his camera - (keep in mind this was in an environment of model and it was just her and me as agents).  Since I saw this strange behavior and doesn't do not sense, we rebooted the server CCX. Once she is back to the top, we were also well able to connect successfully and had not had the problem since.

    Thank you

  • Could you please let me know if Flash Player will inform a user that its system requirements are not enough when you try to use a version of Flash Player?

    Hello

    Could you please let me know if Flash Player will inform a user that its system requirements are not enough when you try to use a version of Flash Player?

    Concerning

    It depends, but generally, no..

    Guidelines for the minimum system requirements are especially on what we and won't fix the bugs for.  Flash Player probably works on Windows Server 2000 and we will not intentionally break it or prevent you from installing, but we will also not fix it if it breaks.  In cases where it will crash on launch or some other out-of-box horrible experience, like trying to install on a Mac PowerPC, then we will prevent pure and simple installation.

    I'm trying to back up my files on an "External" hard drive It's me E: drive as the location, but it just hangs up there says "not responding". I tried to do an "Archive" in the "My Documents" folder, I saw files transfer, however all my names of my files are now blue in 'My documents' whatever that means? What drive letter should go a hard drive 'external '? I should be able to click on that drive and see what is on my external hard drive, but it doesn't "not responding"...

    External drive (E :) will not name until you give him one.  It is possible that the disk has not been formatted yet.

    Open disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK).
    You will see something like this:

    You will have a line for 'Disk 2' but which shows next to your "disc 1". Please provide ALL information in the "Disk 1" line.

    For example, if you had the image above, the response from you I'm looking for would be:

  • Error: ' ATL. DLL was not found"when trying to run any application.

    Original title: ATL. DLL was not found.

    I can't run applications in my pc someone in my house could not get into the computer and changed operating system to windows xp, which allows to be decommissioning of this t. Now, I get this message when I try to run an application: the application failed, because ATL DLL is not found, re - install the applicationmight solve the problem, but I get this message after you have re-installed and I don't know what else to do. Slow computer charges and freezing, something he has never done before. Same IE you have a problem, the only thing that works well, it is the remote assistant who helped me to get here and to him intermet, actually all of this with the dll thing started after I deleted the firefox browser because it froze the computer. Unable to restore my recovery utility, I tried a TI ran and told me it is impossible to get it back before I uninstalled firefox.

    Unfortunately, the support engineer technical 'expert' who is hired by the tips from Microsoft to run sfc/scannow will not help you.

    I would say that, as usual, the technical support engineer has not bothered to reproduce the problem and tried their own suggestion.

    If the atl.dll file is missing, sfc/scannow will launch but it does not work.

    It's just another wild goose chaseSupport Engineer.

    A lot of things will not work if the atl.dll file are missing.  System Restore will not work, Event Viewer do not work, you will not be able to get on the Internet, etc., until the file has been replaced.

    You try to run the system restore, you see the following message is displayed:

    Rstrui.exe - Unable to locate component
    The application has failed to start because ATL DLL not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    Try to open the event viewer, you see a message like this:

    MMC could not create the snap.
    MMC could not create the snap.  The snap-in may not be installed correctly.

    Name: Event Viewer
    CLSID: {975797FC-4E2A-11D0-B702-00C04FD8DBF7}

    Running sfc/scannow will be launched, but it will not run if the ATL DLL file is missing and you will see events like this in the event log (when you arrive, it works again):

    The server {8BC3F05E-D86B-11D0-A075-00C04FB68820} is not registered with DCOM within the required time.

    You can't get on the Internet using any browser.

    You have to somehow replace the missing or damaged file.

    The file might really be missing if he has been quarantined (actually deleted) by your antivirus not specified.  If the file is simply missing, you can just replace it and then later determine what happened to the file and decide what to do about this.

    You can search Windows on your system for ATL DLL and replace the missing file.

    THE ATL. DLL file must be in this folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32

    Check and see if you can find the ATL DLL file in this folder, or if he's really missing, you will need to replace it:

    Depending on what applications you have installed, when you search for your ATL DLL system, you can find ATL DLL in several places on your system.  You must be sure get you the correct that belongs in c:\windows\system32.

    The most likely place to find a good copy of Atlant. DLL will be in one of these folders:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache
    c:\windows\system32\ServicePackFiles\i386

    Locate a copy of the correct Atlant. DLL from the file in one of these folders and copy/paste in the folder c:\windows\system32.

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

    There is a copy of the file on my SkyDrive, you can download a system not affiliated and then copy the file to a Flash DRIVE or a floppy disk and apply it on the afflicted system c:\windows\system32 folder.  Here's how:

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called atl when the name of the file should really be called atl.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.
