• Windows 8 filehistory always goes to the local disk

  I had my windows configuration 8 SL 64 bit to instant filehistory \\myrouter\mydisk\filehistory

  but when run the backup always goes on local drive instead

  C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory

  and the filehistory in the just network drive left blank

  What is the problem?

  

  Hi AmeerRadhi,

  This problem may occur if the history file drive has been disconnected for too long. To continue registration of copies of your files, you will need to reconnect to your history file drive and reselect your network. You can start a backup manually, or wait for the next scheduled backup.

  To manually start a backup

   

  1. Open history file by hitting swipe in the edge right of the screen, tap Find (or if you use a mouse, pointing to the top right of the screen, move the pointer of the mouse down and then clicking search), enter the parameters of the file history in the area of research and then by typing or clicking on the file history settings.
  2. Press or click back until now.

• ENVY of HP TouchSmart laptop 15: local disk D is not accessible

  My notebook Nr is: E1P04AV

  MODEL: 15 t - j100 ABA
  Rev: 1962-110
  CCDI: 0982110000405E00000320000

  I get this message when I access to 'My PC' and click on Local drive D: "local disk D is not accessible. The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable. »

  This local disk D is partitioned with local disk C. The two units are on SSHD, 1 TB, Seagate asa series drive.

  A 24GO SSHD is also installed with 1 TB HARD drive, but the SSHD is not visible in WIN10 in 'My PC' (or, indeed, it is this local disk D?).

  During each reboot, a message appears: "fix local disk D." But the local disk D does not seek redress.

  I just finished installing WIN10 and spent the day to reinstall all printers, scanners and software (with hindsight, I shudda treated first with this corrupted local disk).

  I'm going to local disk likely damage C which has the OS WIN10 on him (I guess), if I reformat local drive D? I would like to reformat ALCO D drive while in WIN10 (not in dos prompt mode).

  FOR INFO:

  My fingerprint reader has not worked in the month. It stopped working after I installed the update of the driver.

  Until I loaded WIN10, I tried to restore my inoperative SimplePass fingerprint reader by loading the newer driver for that I downloaded updates from the HP driver.

  Immediately after the installation of the driver SimplePass my laptop crashed with the BSOD on reboot.

  Each diagnostic single HP I ran in Mode BIOS says all readers and all components, everything going ON.

  What is happening with SimplePass driver software?

  I called Softex but no direct technical Support was available. I left a message, no one returned my call.

  I took the chance and selected the option "Format". The 'quick format' restored the local drive D.

  Hi Jasonbichard,

  1. what type of drive is D? Is - this another partition on the same disk?

  2 Windows operating system you are using?

  You can change the location of the disk to save the data in the d: instead of C: and check if it helps.

  a. navigate to the location (username) C:\Users\.
  b. right click on the folder that you want to change the location, and then select Properties.
  c. click on the location tab and change the location to D: drive.

  d. click on apply and Ok.

• Semi-automatic updates of local disk - how?

  Hello!

  What I want to do should be fairly simple, but I have not found the solution quite yet. What I want is for a machine target - with no internet or slow internet - to be able to pull updates from a locally attached disk, but also the internet.

  At this point, I will say that I don't want to apply updates individually or in a batch. One is laborious, and the other is not selective. Here's how I want the updates to work:

  1. the target machine determines the updates to download / apply. Either he finds this information from the Microsoft Update site or catalog stored locally (wsusscn2.cab) updates.

  2 present updates on the local disk are copied and applied.

  3 not present updates on the local drive are downloaded as usual from Microsoft Update by using the internet connection of the machine.

  -*-

  After some googling I found a script that partially accomplishes my aim here:

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa387290 (v = vs. 85) .aspx

  Simply, this analysis the wsusscn2.cab file and lists the updates that the machine will have to. It doesn't download or obtain it from a local disk. It is also a script, which is good, but more work I have to learn Windows scripting.

  Another suggested approach running WSUS on a laptop running Windows Server, or even running WSUS on a Windows virtual machine... the two methods seem too complicated for this seemingly simple task. And the two methods require a Windows Server license. Given that this is not intended to be used in the environment domain, but on some PCs to the home user, I'm not like buying Server 2008 ;)

  As I said, I'm sure this must have been done already. I know some 3rd party applications this offline update (now called WSUS offline update) t, for example, but don't wish to not use non-free software from unapproved sources. A MS application would be preferable.

  Thanks in advance for your help :)

• Update (KB967715) will not be installed. Cannot open the local disk C, with double click

  I have installed above updated 6 times, when install it says its 0 KB. said after complete installation, but the update is not installed. I just re-formatted my computer and this is the only problem so far. now when I goto:

  My computer
  Local disk C:
  Left click (to open), I get following error:
  Windows cannot find 'info.exe.

  I can only open the hard drive with a right-click then left-click Open. Not the end of the world, but I would like to address this problem.

  I think its something to with what precedes the day and the Autorun feature.

  Thanks for any information, that everyone has.

  Hello

  It seems to be a virus called protectfile.vbs or autorun.inf.

  Follow the steps below to remove this virus from your computer.

  Download the free tool http://www.emco.is/download/moveonboot/moveonbootsetup.exe MoveOnBoot
  
  MoveOnBoot open
  
  Go to rename Action-> rename file
  
  A dialog box opens, select the file. Because these files are hidden files, you will not be able to travel and see. Please enter
   
  Enter "C:\protectfile.vbs" in the section of the file selection.
  Enter "C:\protectfile.html" in the section of the destination file. Enter OK.
  
  Similarly, repeat steps 2 through 4 for the file 'C:\autorun.inf' and rename the in 'C:\autorun.html '.
  
  Do not restart your computer. We have implemented moveonboot to rename the .vbs ProtectFile in only one of the disks.

  Repeat step 2 to 5 for each disk. For example, if you have 4 drives on your computer (C, D, E, F), then you will have to rename '.vbs C:\protectfile', 'D:\protectfile.vbs', 'E:\protectfile.vbs' and '.vbs F:\protectfile' 'C:\protectfile.html', 'D:\protectfile.html', 'E:\protectfile.html' and 'F:\protectfile.html' respectively.

   
  Even renaming file "autorun.inf" in all readers for the corresponding ' autorun.html' files.
  
  Restart your computer. We have disabled the virus.
  
  Now we will remove it completely.
  
  Reopen MoveOnBoot.
  
  Go to delete Actions-> delete the files
  
  You will not be able to browse and reach the files. Then click Browse and enter 'C:\protectfile.html', 'D:\protectfile.html', 'E:\protectfile.html', 'F:\protectfile.html', 'C:\autorun.html', 'D:\autorun.html', 'E:\autorun.html' and 'F:\autorun.html '.
  
  Restart your computer.

  The steps above should solve the problem for you.

  I need to free up disk space on my Windows XP system.

  I need to remove all the system files that are not needed in my C drive.

  I noticed that I have two files above in my local disk on my C drive folder.

  I can't find any reference to what they are, and if they are needed.

  Can anyone provide info on them and if they can be removed.

  Also, I get a picture of the record required in my C drive system.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I wouldn't say that allows you to delete any system files that are associated with Windows. You can use Disk Cleanup tool to safely remove files that are not required by windows.

• Volume D: is dirty. Check Disk Local Disk d does not solve the problem

  Whenever I start my computer under WindowsXP SP3, chkdsk runs indicating that the D: Volume is dirty.  He noted no other problems.  I tried to run check disk Local Disk d with two checked options, but it does not solve the probem.  What should I try next?

  That is right.

  First of all, let us look at the ideas of the Microsoft support engineer:

  I would never not follow the suggestion of Microsoft Engineer in method 1.  This idea makes no sense.

  The Microsoft Support Engineer method 2 does not work for you (or most people), unless you have a XP installation CD bootable authentic with the same Service Pack as your installation.  In your case, you would need a true bootable XP with SP3 installation CD and most of the people do not have such an animal.  It is therefore extremely unlikely that will help you at all - and if your file system is damaged or dirty, I of course never suggests that in the first place until your file system is straightened.

  Volumes that contain file system errors is known as "Sales". When a volume is dirty, he has known file system errors, and you must run chkdsk on the volume to repair the problem.

  When XP starts, it automatically checks the on each volume's dirty bit (C, D, E, etc.), and if any volume is dirty, XP will automatically run chkdsk/p on next reboot on the volumes in an attempt to clear the dirty bit.  Which does not clear the bit of impurity or it may take several passes.

  If the volume dirty bit, one is set, this indicates that the file system may be in an inconsistent state. The dirty bit can be set because the volume is online and has some remarkable changes, because changes have been made to the volume and the computer shutdown until the changes have been committed to disk, or because corruption has been detected on the volume. If the dirty bit is set when the computer restarts, chkdsk runs to verify the consistency of the volume.

  Whenever you start a computer that is running one of the Windows XP operating system or the Windows Server 2003 family, autochk.exe is called by the kernel for all volumes to check if the volume dirty bit is set. If the dirty bit is set, autochk performs an immediate chkdsk /f on that volume. Chkdsk /f verifies file system integrity and attempts to fix any problems with the volume.

  A simple power interruption is something that could result in a disc was marked as dirty.  Have you had a power failure these days?

  You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.  Here's how:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open the command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive D, type:

  fsutil dirty query D:

  The sample output:
  Volume D: is dirty
  Volume D: is not dirty

  Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

  You can not enter any command to clear the dirty bit - only chkdsk /r or chkdsk/p can clear the dirty bit.

  When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you decide to schedule the chkdsk with error correction during the next reboot, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log to see what happened and no problems after running chkdsk.

  To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Search the Application log for an event originally by Winlogon, something like:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Winlogon
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 1001
  Date: 04/08/2010
  Time: 11:25:57
  Description:
  Checking file system on C:

  may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended
  that you continue.

  Windows has finished checking your disk.
  Please wait while your computer restarts.

  The dirty bit fade not until chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p) tracks clean when the system reboots (as in the example) or when you run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console.

  Many times, the best remedy is to just run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console so you can actually see what it does.  Sometimes, this also seems to be the only way to clear the dirty bit and this way you can see what he does.

  Note that you can not also question the bit of impurity of the Recovery Console and you can't turn off the bit of impurity to enter any command.

  If for some reason chkdsk will not erase the dirty, you can simply say XP never check the volume dirty bit, but who will not fix your fault of potentially hard drive, or it could be the drive just need to have chkdsk run on that (sometimes you need to run it more than once) or you will have to think about replacing the drive.

  If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can boot into XP from that (even a SP2) Recovery Console CD will work and run chkdsk /r manually from there and repeat until chkdsk /r is clean.

  If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, say so and I'll post instructions so you can make a CD of XP Recovery Console and how to run chkdsk from there.   There is no required XP media.

  I wonder why it is that I have never see an engineer Microsoft Support post instructions on how to make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console... probably because there is no KB article for them to post.
