In Windows XP, the BACKUP utility in system tools requires a floppy disk should be created when you back up an entire volume. Why should a disk be used?

As floppy drive are no longer included in laptops, the use of a USB storage device would make more sense now? Is this possible?

Richard1952,

Yes, you should be able to select an area on which you want to record on.

Start > all programs > Accessories > system tools > backup: make sure to follow the installation instructions USB is plugged on when you start the backup utility.

Good luck! Please rate me upward if you find my post helpful. Thank you!

    I have a question that has been published by someone else several months back and only received no response.  I am trying to install my Windows XP cd Windows backup utility.  After inserting the cd, the instructions say click on leave and navigate to the "CDDrive:\ValueAdd\Mfst\Ntbackup" folder on the cd.  Where can I find this file so I can complete the installation of the backup utility?

    The backup program is automatically installed on XP Professional, but not on XP Home.

    For reasons unknown, MS Answer does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, so we don't know anything about your system.

    If you have the genuine bootable XP Home installation CD, insert it into your system and navigate to this folder:

    I use Windows, and we need to make visible hidden files and folders in order to see the App data access path.  OSX has a similar feature?  If you have spent the hidden files and folders things, remember what I said about the registration of CC2015 the path of the CC2014 file.  That one made me as well, but I worked it out by asking Photoshop to load new brushes and checked the place he was looking for.

    I don't understand. You use vo and eo for you to use business components.

    Again, this kind of code call in trouble.

    You must post the changes to make them visible to the eo find vo. You must then run the query for the changes in the business layer strips then you must update the iterator he table is based on.

    In your code I see that happen, hooch maybe because it is more often than not formatted and undocumented.

    My advice is to do a small test case that you can manage with easy sql. Once you get it to run transfer you the results to the actual application.

  • Start Windows after the backup time machine!

    Hey guys

    I have a MacBook Pro MGXA2 and I used time machine for the first time for the backup of the stuff, but after completing the course, my Windows boot option missing from the start menu

    Now I have MACINTOSH HD and a new option named: option to START EFI!

    in disk utility, I have a Macintosh HD and BOOT CAMP

    boot camp disk is always seen in utility dish! I have many pic in the bootcamp drive

    now the questions:

    How can I access inside the car of bootcamp to retrieve my files from disks in windows?

    is it possible to bring back the old windows boot camp player option to the boot menu?

    Thanx

    Welcome to Apple Support communities

    1. You can access your Windows partition with Finder. Simply open a new Finder window in OS X and the access to your Windows partition (often called "BOOTCAMP").
    2. Out of curiosity, what happens if you choose 'Boot EFI'? Note that newer Macs run Windows in EFI mode, so maybe Windows still works.
