• 0x8078012D error code when you back up the new pc for external hard drive

  I have a brand new HP Pavilion Windows 7 Home Premium desktop/8 GB memory/1 terabyte hard drive. Just hung up 3 days ago, and after installing my software, attempted to perform a full backup with the image of a brand new Toshiba Canvio 500 GB external hard drive. I get 0x8078012D error code, without interruption.  I did a check on the external hard drive disk, and it was good. I did a check for virus on the external hard drive, and that was good. I have triple checked the settings for backup and they are as I want them to be. -What is the Toshiba external hard drive or my bad nine HP desktop computer?  I had to call HP tech support yesterday as 2 programs, I had already installed has stopped working, but also Java and Adobe Flash Player. HP technical support was not only bad in his work, but right has supported up and hard with me and talked to me. I told her to give me control of my computer and down the phone that I reported him. He wrecked settings that I had, I did a system restore on the eve of the appellant, which was day 2 of owning the new pc. Now everything works as it was and I think that the 2 programs stopped working due to a Microsoft update that I had done that day. I don't have re-uploaded the 6 latest updates from MS and pc seems to work very well, but I can still save on the Toshiba Canvio external hard drive. Last resort, I reformatted the Toshiba Canvio to NTFS, even if it has already formatted to. Still can not make a backup on the external drive. I don't know what to do. Return the pc?  Return the Toshiba Canvio?  I'm in debt $650 for these 2 pieces of metal. Help please!

  Hello

  The error would have occurred if the services related to backup Windows could have been disabled. This can also occur due to other security software installed on the computer.

  Y at - it a third-party security software installed on the computer?

  I suggest you to check if the services are running and in manual mode.

  You can follow the methods:

  Method 1:

  Follow the steps to check if services are running. If not, restart them and check if that helps:

  (a) click Start.

  (b) type Services in the start search.

  (c) in the Services window, search for the shadow copy volume.

  (d) right click on the Service.

  (e) click Properties.

  (f) select Start on ManualType.

  (g) click OK.

  (h) now repeat the same steps for Windows backup service as well.

  Check if you find the same error trying to save using the hard disk. If Yes, proceed to method 2.

  Method 2:

  I suggest to temporarily disable the security software installed on the computer and check if it helps. Check out the link to do so:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Important note: security software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• Restore the backup to an external hard drive

  original title: if I reinstall my Vista, how to make the backup on an external hard drive? Is it a procedure drag-and - déposer? I use a Seagate external hard drive and there is no help section.

  Have run the back up to the external hard drive, I would like to know how to use it when I reinstall Vista Home Premium system.

  Also, I tried to check the hard disk for errors, and he has not finished the event.

  Assuming that you used the backup of Vista and made program a full backup and not an image backup (although some of these procedures include the restoration of a full image backup), here is some information to help you restore data.  Try to read or at least most of the analytical documents before you start, so you get a good understanding of the process and the procedures involved.  Restoring from an external hard drive is a little different from restoring a secondary internal hard drive, CD/DVD or Flash drive or on the network (although quite close to the procedure of network). If you have used the Vista backup program, you can not restore using drag-and-drop - you must use Vista restore program.

  Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

  This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

  Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

  Back up and restore: frequently asked questions
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions

  I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

  1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

  2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

  3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

  4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

  5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

  6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

  7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

  8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

  9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that thebackup location is not available " ")

  10. and you press "next".

  11 guess what... no error!

  12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

  13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

  14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

  I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works and even when it does not).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now want to import some RAF b HD files

  I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now have to import some RAF of the HD files but LR shows them as dazed out and said that they have already been imported when I hover over the thumbnail. I have this problem when importing files in the same HD Canon CR2, and who have been treated exactly the same. Anyone got a clue as to why this is happening? Thanks, Phil

  Hi Phil,

  If Lightroom then reads these as duplicate files, it shows that they are already present in your Lightroom Catalog.

  You can search by file name and check if the image is present in your library.

  Kind regards

• How to reset the password forgotten on external HARD drive

  Hello

  I forgot the password of my external hard drive.
  How can I reset this?

  It has all my photos out there I want to come back.

  The external HARD drive comes with software that the password. Have you used this software?

  I m not very well what HARD drive you have exactly, but in the case of the password disk HARD unknown could be deleted, so I guess that by using such software.

  But I'm afraid, this is not possible and if yes, then secure files could serve more than m.

  I say it in a different way: password protection would be useless if you can remove any unknown or forgotten password. Don't you think?

  1. click Start allprograms,Accessories, System Tools folder and Disk Cleanup
  
  2 check the photos and click OK.

• You can use migration assistant to transfer the time machine backup external hard drive?

  Hello. I just bought a new macbook pro with a 256 GB flash drive to replace my previous macbook pro that had a breakdown of all the systems. My problem is that I have a time machine backup that is greater than 256 GB (it's almost 450 GB) and I try to find out if I can use migration assistant to transfer all the content directly on an external hard drive, then move the content I want on my hard drive from the external hard drive? My goal is to let my music and photos on the external hard drive and for all port hardware I need for work.

  I don't have access to another mac with storage well enough that I have the old HD so could potentially be installed in an external enclosure and extracted files directly from there if it's easier.

  What I intend to do in the long term is to buy a big external hard drive network and put all my photos, music etc over there and use the laptop as expected - that is for files from day to day - then it will be just a short-term problem.

  Any advice would be really appreciated.

  Thank you

  Nick

  Migration Assistant is user to transfer data from one computer to the other.  If I read your post correctly, you want to copy your data from Time Machine on another HARD disk.  Thia may be useful:

• I can run vista windows on an external hard drive?

  Hi I was wondering if I could run windows vista Home premium (64 bit) on an external hard drive...

  and how would I do it?

  I was reading around and found some info that said that I need to start from the main internal drive, but I think that my internal drive has some errors and im not sure how long it will last... Although I did have too much problems with it since my last restore full on a month and half ago.

  any suggestions or steps I must take to be able to do this?

  I don't think that this is possible. It is possible to install/boot from a HDD external bootable with some revisions minor http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/07/15/how-to-install-windows-7-or-vista-from-bootable-portable-usb-flash-memory-key-or-hard-disk-drive/ (assuming that your BIOS supports this)-say if your CD/DVD has not, recovery or reinstallation, but it is not the same as Vista from the external HARD drive.  I think the biggest problem is the drivers who won't be loaded until the Windows startup and Windows could not start without the USB already loaded if it was located on an external USB drive (and the other drivers as well) and there may be some problems with the boot files.  There may be other issues - I think XP and Vista are INTENTIONALLLY DESIGNED to work this way (for reasons of piracy among others)...

  I read a post from Carey Frisch MVP, who says flatly that it cannot be done.  Here is an article on the topic which also categorically states that it cannot be done with XP or Vista http://computer-drives-storage.suite101.com/article.cfm/can_you_boot_from_external_hard_disk_drive.

  I read a few articles that say it's possible with XP using the appropriate BIOS and a whole bunch of changes in the registry (changes that have not been identified), but I frantly in doubt.  Too many other articles argue against it.  In addition, it would be MUCH slower (no matter how fast the hard disk) due to the method of connection - you do not use this way on a daily basis.

  Many of the dismantled external when hard drives are compaatible with and will fit inside the computer case and work as internal drives - maybe you can try that as an alternative (assuming that you do not want to buy another drive HARD internal for now).

  To test your hard drive, check the manufacturer and then get the diagnostic utility of: http://www.techsupportforum.com/hardware-support/hard-drive-support/302602-hard-drive-diagnostic-utilities.html.  If she failed the test, replace it.  If she passes the test, then it's probably nothing wrong with it.  You can also run chkdsk /f /r from the elevated command prompt and see what happens - happens to you lots of bad sectors and a lot of corruption, then it is time to replace the drive before it will totally fail...

  I hope this helps (although it is probably not the answer you were hoping for).

  Good luck!

• CS4 won't open the files to an external hard drive. "not supported format or corrupted file?

  Hello

  I'm having a certain hard using first but the passage between different computers.

  So I created a project on another computer, in which I put the video files that are located on my hard drive (external). I saved the project on the same hard disk. Realization of my project, I noticed that creates the first "preview files" in a separate card.

  I got a new computer in which I put the 2 GB of ram necessary for myself so I could work at home. BUT when I connected my HD on my computer and tried to open the project, the computer said one of the preview files were missing. No big surprise, so I'm going and find the file. Click on it, but then it says:

  "not supported format or corrupted file", which is absolutely B * llshit because the Prime Minister created the file itself?

  In addition, all media, I imported in the left part of the screen of the user (not sure what you call) IS 'off CONNECTION '. It gets weird, because when I try to find the media using FIND in first, not all the files SHOW UP?

  Im getting quite nervous, because I need it to work hard enough

  Maybe its helpful to mention that my new computer is a complete novice blown [no internet connection, does not sound again: I just installed Service Pack 2] and maybe I'm missing some drivers?

  Please, please help me I'm wasting enough it actually...

  Thank you

  Jef

  Jef,

  Open the CS4. Create a new project and when you get the sequence settings screen, are selectable AVCHD, HDV, and XDCAM presets?

  If this isn't the case, you are using the trial version, or your full version has been restored to the status of the trial. The trial does not support anything MPEG, even when encapsulated in AVI format.

  If you have the full version which is returned to the status of first instance, follow these steps:

  1. disable

  2 uninstall

  3. run the Script own CS4

  4 reboot

  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4

  6. Repeat steps 3 and 4

  7 install

  8 activate

  9. turn to update to 4.2.1
