K:\ is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect.
K is a HP Personal Media Drive
OS: Vista Ultimate and 64-bit SP2 installed
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66 GHz
RAM: 4 GB
RAID 0
The drive appears in my computer and explore, but I cannot access it. I only noticed because I only use it for backup and the backup does not work from about 3 weeks. Could Norton Registry Cleaner have deleted the files needed to access the drive when it was not connected? If so, how can I restore?
Is probably something else?
Hi, Willbo17, Try a system restore to a date and time before the period of 3 weeks that you mentioned above. This may show the missing files.

I can't open the files or download anything to try to fix. I also got the message "the parameter is incorrect." Can anyone help? I suggest that, as it is a laptop that you reinstall Vista second-hand: Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings . There is no Vista free download legal available. Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set. Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small. In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings. See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery. Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process... Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option. Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure. They will tell you how to do this. Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s. Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc). There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system. If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks): Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive. At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/918884 MS advice on the conduct of clean install. http://www.theeldergeekvista.com/vista_clean_installation.htm A tutorial on the use of a clean install http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_install_03.asp Super Guide Windows Vista Installation After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.

[It is ironic to get an error during the installation of software that is supposed to fix the errors of installation...] What should I do now? Hi MeProgrammer, Temporarily disable the antivirus software on the computer as a test and try to install the update and check if this is useful to fix the problem. If disabling the antivirus software works, then you need to configure the same so that it does not disturb. Please contact the software vendor for assistance in this regard. Warning Antivirus 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. Additionally, make sure that you download and install the correct version (32-bit or 64-bit) system from the link below for Windows Vista Update Readiness Tool: Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2 http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947821 In addition, I recommend you check the following logs for more information: %SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log I hope this helps.

Please visit the link below to find a community that will provide the best support. http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/itproxpsp/threads Error code; The parameter is Incorrect My operating system is "Windows XP Home." I tried to print a multitude of photos using the "Photo Print Wizard." When I click the link icon in the "picture and Fax Viewer", I get the error code; The parameter is Incorrect. The wizard does not open. I noticed that the icon in the 'Control Panel' folder has changed and the name is 'File' rather than 'printers and faxes '. I made every effort to change, including to remove and reinstall my printer but nothing helped. I can't delete the file or find the root of this folder in 'windows '. It seemed to me that the path of the file has been changed due to a change of name of this file in the path. However, I can still use a printer installed by other software to print. By the way, when I reinstall any printer, I do not see the printer in this file but it always says 'File' in the 'control panel '. The shimgvw.dll file is registered correctly as I can tell. If I try to launch 'Photo and Print Wizard' from the link on the left in the "Control Panel" itself, I just get a beep for error but no error code. The wizard does not start. This wizard is a very important tool to print multiple selections at once. I havn't used in awhile, so I don't know when it is first of all changed. Any thoughts?, anyone? Is there another install name of the package in the wizard to reinstall it from Microsoft? THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM 1. Click Start> run type REGSVR32 photowiz.dll click OK NOTE: leave a space between the two. FACT! This will re - save the "TheAssistant printing photographs"and it will work from the folder 'My pictures'. * However, this does not resolve the question "renaming" of the file folder in the 'Control Panel', 'printers and faxes '. That remains a mystery, I hope I can solve. 2. If you are unsure if you have this module, DO a SEARCH using the search tool in the "Start Menu". 3. If the search shows nothing in the directory... (drive letter) \Windows\System32, and then search the directory(drive letter)\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386, Scroll to module; photowiz.dll and 'Copy and paste' to your windows folder directory as described above. Depends on your drive letter on which you originally installed "Windows XP". It is usually a letter'C'. 5. If you had to 'Copy and paste' this module in your operating system folder. Then, you must re-register the above method module. Thank you, GARTH I get the windows\system32\rundll32.exe error following the parameter is incorrect.

Hello Tjohanne This problem can occur because of a bad sector at the end of the volume that you are trying to save. However, as a workaround, you can try the following methods: (A). if you save the backup files in the first 750 GB hard drive, you can save the backup files in the second hard drive 300 GB with the letter E to test this issue. However, if you save the backup files to the second hard disk 300 GB with letter E first, you can try to save the backup files in the first 750 GB hard drive with the letter C or D.
