How can I save a Flash DRIVE in Windows 7?
I want to backup my Flash DRIVE using my Windows 7 computer. Please note: I am NOT interested in the backup of my hard drive. (I can do separately.) What I want to do is to backup my USB, drive hard or on another USB drive. Backup in Windows 7 does not give me the possibility to save all records other than the hard drive and I'm frustrated trying to find suggestions on the web for how to do this.
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
If you want to save only the latest files and not to remove all the files in the backup that are no longer on the key USB, a command like this would be good.
(This implies that the USB is T: and copy its contents into a folder on your C drive.) Run xcopy /? in a quick order if you want to see the significance of the switches).
xcopy /s /d T:\*.* C:\MyThumbBack\ /y
This could be saved in a batch file and made a scheduled task to automate it. Note, however, in this case I would add some error checking to confirm that the USB is in fact available in t:
If you want to copy the new files to the USB and also remove all of the copy which are no longer on the USB, robocopy /MIR could be used in the same way. (Be VERY careful if you experiment with it. It can do a lot of damage if done incorrectly).

How to reinstall Vista
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence

How can I delete my flash drive it tells me it is used
2010 iMac desktop computer, last iOS.1015 El Capitan system
I inserted a flash drive in order to print a file on it and I couldn't.
Then I went on goolge and asked how to print from a flash drive, I realized that I can insert my USB in my printer.
Now when I try to bring it down to throw it in the trash - I am told than others? use it, I'm out everything, even safari and he tells me the same thing? Thank you...
You could try to leave by force (Apple Menu > Force Quit...) the Finder that can hold in the file/disk.
Restart should fix the problem.
You could also simply disconnect the drive - while it is not generally recommended that it should be strong enough, if nothing is written on the disc.
You can also use the Terminal commands to force deletions of files or to disassemble the disks, although applications can use them.

I install norton ghost 2003. but it shows this error: unalble to find free mbr slot in the dll of the virtual partition. This is usually because there is no slot free primary partition left on the startup disk.
How can I backup my drive with norton ghost 2003 or another program win.
This restore disk from dell with 3 GB of storage is for what.
TNX.
Hi Hamid390,
This problem occurs when the computer has exhausted all the four primary partitions in the table to partition of the boot drive. An extended partition takes a prime location, in order to have three primary partitions and an extended partition would also cause this problem.
Start the computer from a startup disk Ghost rather than a Ghost virtual Partition. You can use the Ghost boot Wizard to create a Standard Ghost Book disc for this purpose.
Repartition this disk. If you re-partition the drive, make sure that you create backups of your data before doing so.
For more information, you can also check for a link: http://bit.ly/Qvwpaw
I know if that restore drive are you referring?
Is - Dell Datasafe online? If so, Dell DataSafe Online to protect your music, photos and other important files by placing copies of backup to a secure storage site using your internet connection. For your security all data is encrypted and compressed before leaving your computer.

How can I download Adobe Flash Player on Windows XP?
I reinstalled Windows XP computer that HAD Adobe Flash Player on it, then reinstalled Firefox. Only, I couldn't reinstall Adobe Flash Player! Check why I can't download Adobe Flash Player on my Windows XP? Yahoo Answers. There is no error message, no matter what. Simply Setup does not open. I've tried everything. The Adobe Live Chat was no help at all, and I created an Adobe account to get help. Someone help me?
This Service Pack, if any, you have installed on your XP system?
See How to check that Windows XP Service Pack is installed on your computer?
If you have not installed Service Pack 3, you will need to install it, at least for setup work. Latest Flash Player installers are signed using SHA-256 signature certificates. Older versions of XP don't support SHA - 256. The link I posted previous provides more information on this.
The browsers Google Chrome and chrome are two different browsers. Google Chrome integrates the Flash Player. Google incorporates no Flash Player in chrome. Therefore, you need to install the PPAPI Flash Player plugin for chrome.

Can you please help me to download different flash player or application on my shelves.
Adobe support dropped for Flash Player on Android a few years ago. Although it is possible to side load an old version of Flash Player, you're going to Miss years of updates of security, which leaves your tablet at risk.
The only good option I know for now is that browser, which extends from Flash content in the cloud and disseminates results to your tablet. This gets you the features of the current Flash versions, without the risk to run a local version, insecure.

How can I save a photo rotated in windows 8?

How save my versions rotated so they do not change back? They look correct in my images and the Viewer. Aaah!
Hi Lisa,
What application should I use to rotate the photos? You use the Windows Photo Viewer?
I suggest you to rotate the pictures using Windows Photo Viewer prior to registration and installation.
If this is not enough, you can download and install Windows Photo Gallery to get more advanced options.
