My files fail to back up automatically. I get an error code: FAILURE SIGNS: 0x8000FFFF. Someone knows how to fix this?

Hello


1. you have Windows Vista Service Pack 1 installed on your computer?
2. have you done any software or hardware changes on your computer before this problem?
3. you make a system image backup?
This problem occurs because the backup process detects that the system drive is dirty.
Windows Vista backup always includes the system as part of the backup drive. If the system drive is dirty, the backup process skips the system drive, and no snapshot of the system drive is created. Therefore, the backup cannot locate a snapshot of the system drive later, and the error occurs.
Error message when you try to perform a backup system on a Windows Vista-based computer: "catastrophic failure (0x8000FFFF)".

Note: CHKDSK.exe would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

Hope the information is useful.

    Hello Mohan,

    ·         You did changes to the computer before the show?

    These errors often occur if there are incorrect BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) settings.

    Method 1: Check if the computer startup options are changed in the BIOS. You can set the hard drive as the first boot device. In addition, make sure that this option "Wake on LAN" or one similar to it is off.

    Method 2: Load default BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) settings, and then restart the computer.

     

    Important : Change/update BIOS can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

  • When I try to use transfer of files on my Windows Vista machine, I get an error saying that "this update is not available."

    I have a new Win 7 laptop and want to transfer the files from my old Vista laptop. Recently I used Easy Transfer and a USB cable to do this on a machine for the wife swap so I know it works. However, when you try to load transfer them easily on my Vista machine, I get an error message that says that this update is not available. Anyone know what is the cause and what is the solution?

  • Cannot display a .avi file in Premiere Pro CS6. We get an error "not supported format or corrupted file.

    I am trying to bring three distinct animations in Premiere Pro, but it won't shoot them in the Source window or timeline of the sequence. The three files are uncompressed .avi files that were returned on in Autodesk Inventor. They are 15 second clips, around 2 GB and 40 fps. I can play them in Windows Media Player without problem. Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting? I can't imagine it's a codec issue, if the files are unzipped?

    Edit: I used MediaInfo to get the info on the video.

    > can't imagine it's a codec problem

    Imagine still once your screen printing said they are bitmap files... IE a string of images, not 'really' a video that the Organization recognizes... and a rate of 40 FPS is also "weird".

    Autodesk has other options... to create a file with a 'true' video output codec?

    Because the Assembly is not the same thing as play, you may need to find a codec to be installed to be able to edit (NOT a codec pack!)

    Autodesk has a place where you can download and install 'their' codec to edit files?

  • synchronization between the editor in the browser and file failing muse

    In the past I had problems with changes in the browser to a client site hosted on Business Catalyst not successfully implemented Muse who have never explained Re: Muse is not merge changes

    Last week, I got a trouble with this same site (opbarks.com) and have a frustrated customer, angry as a result. Restore things, here's what happened:

    Last week, when I open my file of Muse, I sometimes got a notice stating that the site had changed through the editor in the browser, and I agree to incorporate changes. However instead of the request for review and merge the changes, the window has very quickly to full synchronization screen.

    sync-complete.png

    I thought that maybe site changes had been made and then cancelled or returned back to match what I already had so so no change despite the alert - or that Muse was just confused. So I continued to work on the site and published some tests I did with Wufoo forms. Unbeknownst to me, I had crushed my client did to two of its significant changes classes pages. Annex OpBarks Sweet Spot cottages Quakertown   and OpBarks calendar Little White Dog East Falls

    Before you crush me, my client had used in the browser edition to publish information for may and June classes. Because my Muse file has not been updated (because no changes were to merge), I published the outdated class dates and descriptions on my customer changes. First noticed my client (because one of his customers asked when she could run classes), she thought that maybe amended no had not stuck because she forgot to hit publish them in the browser - then blamed editor itself. While she paid his assistant to redo the changes and they both checked the site online to ensure that may and June were posted. They have been. They don't have to tell me about it and it wasn't until they looked back a day later and seen their changes went even once they contacted me to help solve. Turns out that the dates of their endangered changes coincided with the time Muse told me the site changed, but had then no changes to show me and I had published it. Beyond technical frustration and overtime costs, my company customers was hit - registration was non-existent because customers could see only old and outdated classes.


    Temporary workaround: now that we have understood what the problem was (bad timing), my client is pay me to make any changes directly in the Muse and publsih until we can trust the synchronization again. Of course, we could continue to use the editor in the browser and if I get a alert Muse change, but no change to merge I will not post and he will ask my client if she has made changes. But it does not solve much - I have no way to get my Muse folder to update without doing manually what is already done in the browser.


    I'm looking for an explanation or if it is a bug, I would like assurance that she is treated and want to know when I can sync trust to accomplish his task again.


    In case it helps to solve the problems, I am totally up-to-date on Muse software and faithfully were rename files .muse publishes in the browser do the merge (a solution that I read on a forum somewhere). I don't know what else to try. This is a link to the muse file that do not correctly accept the changes in the browser. Dropbox - opbarks_Apr22 - 2015.muse and it's a current a Dropbox - opbarks_Apr29-2015-for - AdobeHelp.muse I can not always going to work. (more on that below)


    ------


    Re: Dropbox - opbarks_Apr29-2015-for - AdobeHelp.muse to make it worse, I did a test see if I could reproduce the error. Successfully, I got a change in the browser, I did to the homepage of bend in my file of Muse. BUT I can't get a small change, I did to OpBarks annex Sweet Spot Farm Quakertown able to trigger an alert in Muse that an amendment was filed and manually using file > synchronize with the web version displays a window that says no changes detected.



    It's small change I made to the editor in the browser. Add a hyphen and has published.

    hyphen-on-qtown.png


    My Muse file may not see the change.

    no-changes-merged.png


    He has given some time and closed my file of Muse, reopened and I always get a message "no changes detected.

    Screen Shot 2015-04-29 at 12.06.36 PM.png

    Yet once again, I would like your help to understand this.


    Thank you

    Janine

    Hi Janine.

    There are a handful of circumstances that may prevent the Muse of the merger successfully completed through editing in the browser changes. One of them is the invalid HTML markup on your page.

    This seems to be the case with OpBarks annex Sweet Spot Farm Quakertown

    Specifically, the HTML for the form at the bottom of the page is not valid. Do you remember how you got/integrated HTML?

    Thank you
