• Need help: invalid system disk error

  I must have left my laptop on the week last with only a small battery backup as victory, that I woke up in the morning, he had absolutely no power.  When I plugged the laptop and I tried to reboot it wasn't going to the normal microsoft vista home page.

  Instead of this turned back or the system bios and on the top of the screen, he said.  Invalid system disk error.  I pressed ESC and immediately thereafter loaded up normally.  Once on the page of windows, he showed he was about 8 windows updates.  (this every way - when I left my computer on automatic update of windows, running and starting to update my computer.  Since I only had a remaining battery minimum computer must have lost all power during the update.  Because update has not been completely loaded my computer now has a problem starting).

  Whenever I turn on computer, need me the black screen with the comment of the system disk error.  While hitting escape when this screen is easy to do and makes windows vista starts normally - I'd rather have a completely normal vista installation program.

  Help, please.

  What should I do?

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

• Need help with the disks 'unreadable' configuring software raid after the death of the startup disk and system restored.

  I'm looking for some advice on how to restore a windows xp installation software raid 5 that was running on my XP system. I had a problem when the startup disk has failed, but I was able to backup the system before it can. I replaced the drive and restored the system and everything came, but I was not smart to do this and accidently left the readers connected when restoring raid. I don't know if windows has done something when I tried to install XP on the new drive, or maybe something else has happened when I restored the system from the backup, but my raid drives can not be used. There was a moment in the restaurant business I saw a message on the MBR, but I thought that was just for the drive being restored. I didn't have a single player who held any information on the other disks in the system, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

  When the system boots the windows logo screen takes 10-20 minutes before you get on the desktop. Windows Disk Manager takes 20-30 minutes to fill the list of drives and status on the disks three raid is 'dynamic' and 'unreadable' is not reassuring. I suspect it's a problem MBR or partition table that must be corrected before trying to reactive the raid, but this is just speculation.

  The raid drives are on a promise ide/scsi disk and make it appear to start correctly with names and sizes. After that I get nothing. I do not have another scsi controller (or), but I thought I'd try active @ partition recovery to see if she can find information on the disks.

  I hope someone has some experience with recovery like this, because this is a first for me. I thought I was pretty sure running a raid-5, but wouldn't you know, the tech gods have found a way to crush my plans...

  Thanks in advance for any help!

• need help with backup

  I had a mini ipad for some time, but as I travel a lot I have not been able to save. connection to my itunes allows only set up like the new ipad. I don't want to do what I'm going to lose all my data.how can I save in this case?

  It seems that if you have a major problem since you have never saved before iPad, therefore, the iPad thinks it's a new feature.

  These measures can help:

  If you are unable to make a backup of your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support iTunes

  Or you might be able to try the file > devices > save in the iTunes menu as soon as you plug your iPad on iTunes.

  Frankly, I'm pessimistic, but none of these will work for you.  They are worth it, however.

• Need help with replacement disk on port 0 in Raid1 desktop machine

  I have a HPE 380 t. I have has a RAID1 (mirror) with 2-500 GB Western Digital. When I boot it says the raid has deteriorated and an error has occurred on the player connected to port 0, port 1 player shows ok. It's in the Manager of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, (Ctrl + I on startup). The machine starts again, but I want to replace the drive on Port 0 with another disk of 500 GB.

  How can I go on that so I don't toast all data on the drive Port1?

  I searched links and other places for help on this but nothing helps! Is there a tutorial or step by step instructions somewhere that I can go?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Mike,.

  Lucky for you that you are using non-RAID 0 and RAID 1 or your table would probably unusable.

  You can determine the status of your RAID configuration using the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) software.  If you do not have this software on your PC, then you can Download IRST from the Intel web site.  I recommend that you use the latest version available from Intel.  General information can be obtained from the TSRI User Guide.  When you launch TSRI, help topics are an excellent source of information.  You can access TSRI by going to the control panel and select Intel Rapid Storage Technology. You can also access TSRI from low location of the taskbar.  TSRI should resemble a hard disk icon and it normally has a green check mark.  By default, TSRI is defined as delayed start, so don't expect to see active immediately.

  1. Launch the IRST while under Windows
  2. Click Help
  3. Click on troubleshooting
  4. Click on gradient volumes and follow the recommendations. Scroll to RAID 1.

• I have a new backup disk (a disk of 5 TB of Seagate) and need help setting up with CCC!

  Hello world

  I have a new backup disk (a disk of 5 TB of Seagate) and could use help setting up with CCC.

  I did in the past without problem, but I want to assure you of a few things:

  1. This particular drive has software available in a folder on the disk backup (w / the PC and Mac versions). But... I intend to use this disk as an exact copy of my iMac HD; It must also be bootable.
  2. Should I format the drive with disk utility? Or load the software to the CCC on the disk and just leave their only backup software?
  3. One last question: I also have a MacBook Air, an iPad and an iPhone. I want to save them as well. Should I put them on separate partitions, I created? Or can we just one big happy family? The last is best.

  One last piece of information: two computers, etc, were all backed up via Time Machine. My data the most important, photos, etc., are also saved on deposit box and/or iCloud on a regular basis.

  Thanks for any suggestions or comments!

  Sally D.

  Delete and partition the drive by making a separate partition for each computer. The iPad and the iPhone is useless their own partition because they back up using iTunes and would appear in the clone of the computer that you use for each save. Each partition must be the size of the current cloned drive that can leave you with additional partitions for other stuff. Then format the drive Mac OS Extended journaled. Do not install any software that came with the drive, none of this is necessary.

  I use a very similar setup with a 3 TB drive. I clone my boot SSD in a single partition, my drive internal 1 Tb in a second, my Macbook to a third party, and I have a fourth partition which is currently empty, because I haven't decided what to do with it yet. I also have a 3 to Apple Time Capsule.

• I need help to retrieve my hard drive using the recovery of Neosmart disk (it takes days)

  To get a better perspective, I'll tell you the history of what has gone wrong.

  What happened is that the computer has a virus and it changed some coding on the computer. When this happened to that my computer wouldn't let me enter my account and the only account that I could go on was the administrator account. I tried on a few websites and the other microsoft Web sites told me to do something with the command userinit or something like that, which led to the black screen of death that I managed to fix it on my own.

  Another website told me to use the recovery disk but like a lot of people that I don't have a recovery disk, I only had a reinstallation disk that said I could fix the computer, but it would delete all hard disk that I didn't, I need the intact files because they are important to my family.

  Then I discovered on the recovery disk that you can buy from Neosmart.com and this disc is made like the original Vista recovery disk. Anyway I bought it and I clicked on "Automatic repair" and it comes up with 2 dives eligible for recovery (it says at the top) a player is 10 GB and the other is 288 GB (it says active is the 288 GB we) I clicked on repair automated on one of them, but I don't remember. Apparently fixed it (coding I guess) and I restarted but no consideration was there. He says "Please wait" for a long time, then it comes up with a single account that says "User" I click it and it says user name and password you will need to connect to a computer at school or something. I put my username and password anyway and it does not of course and it comes up with "the specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted.

  So, I went back on the recovery disk and I so I click on system restore to get my stuff back and I can put it on a previous date until the virus has arrived and I click on it, then it is said that his recovery, files, but just like that, I let him recover and he was recovering for 3 days before I came on this site and tried something but it did not work. Like I said before it is 288 GB so I guessed it would take a long time to recover only the amount of data, but it seems just silly.

  Could someone please help me with this with words that I can identify the disk recovery Neosmart.com please

  Important additional information

  I said before that I don't remember what I have fixed drive, the thing is that there might be I have set the wrong drive, but to be honest at this point, I feel like if I do a movement without knowing what it will do, im going to lose what's on that hard drive

  Important files are not for work, they are files containing family photos of many years we couldn't print on paper of good quality printing. There is no other copy of these pictures and I really want to keep them, even with my parents.

  The recovery of Neosmart disk contains the following options

  • Auto repair
  • Score editor
  • Browse/Backup of files
  • Internet browser
  • Launch the command line

  Within the Automated repair is where you can get the system restore. The others you can kind of guess, if you want to know so just ask.

  Help, please

  Thank you

  To recover the photos, you can remove the drive and it slave on another computer (you can get very cheap external envelopes) and remove your data (you have just learned an important lesson in why you need to have backups).

  Once you have saved your data, your best bet would probably be to reinstall. A good Web site for the removal of malicious software is that one.

  Are you needing information to create the recovery disk set? HERE

  As for activation Office 2007-if you paid for a license extend the 60-day trial version, simply enter your key when asked to activate. If you have not purchased a full license, you should be the link for the purchase of Ms. You can also buy Office 2007 locally(probably cheaper) and just use him license key to activate your preinstalled version.

• Several VSS writers fail and my backups are failling too. Need help!

  Several VSS writers fail and my backups are failling too. Need help:

  I have a desltop installed SP3 x 64 XP and a laptop with seven x 64 SP1. In both the machine that my backups fail. I'm trying to back up data by using boats to storage, backup Windows also is failling. I'm taking a full backup on a USB external drive (2 TB).

  I did "vssadmin list writers" and showing several writers are in the failed State.

  I've done SFC/scannow, it did not help. There is no error in the disk and Chkdsk.

  I don't know how VSS works and how to solve the problem. Help, please!

  A lot of people told me they found this informative article. That's why I upgraded that and display back again.

  -------------------------------------------------------

  Before you stat is working on this issue make sure that the volumes have no system disk/file error. Run Chkdsk and ensure.

  (1) in the case of a failure of backup/writer, we first check the drivers associated with the VSS backup.

  These drivers are:

  VOLSNAP. SYS

  NTFS. SYS

  SWPRV. DLL

  -Check the version of above mentioned MS 3 files and update using MS Hotfix.

  If we have installed other suppliers, who might be the supplier of StorageCraft, Symantec suppliers and suppliers of Acronis, he must ensure that their files are also updated.

  Note: You can see the list of suppliers using this command: VSSADMIN LIST PROVIDERS

  Some of the DRIVERS PROVIDER commonly find are:

  stcvsm.sys

  symsnap.sys

  snapman.sys

  (2) this step is performed only when we find him

  VSS writers in a failed State. If we find the stable writers and backups still fail, or we get errors, do not perform this step if you please.

  In this case, the VSS writers fail, we can delete the following registry key, after of course saving and restart the server.

  HKLM/Software/Microsoft/EventSystem/{26c.../Subscriptions.

  This key will be automatically recreated when you restart and writers should return to the stable state.

  The writers pending the completion status is not a problem. It's also good that Stable.

  We can do on the Server 2003, 2008 and 2008 R2 OS as well.

  However, in Windows Server 2003, after you delete and restart the "vssadmin list writers" server cannot display all the writers, in this case must register the dll:

  For a list of the dll files to register, please check KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940184

  Note: The reinstatement of dll in Windows Vista/2008 and especially is NOT recommended.

  (3) if we have only one / specificwriter (s) in a State of failure, which would always be SQL, EXchange, IIS or NTDS, then we have need to revive their respective service Console of service.

  If they fail repeatedly, then make sure that the application and its components are updated. See their respective engineers immediately. Make sure that the latest service packs and patches are installed.

  (4) make the foregoing, resolves generally 80 to 90% of the questions. If we believe that the issue is occurring, or we have VSS event errors, it may be the providers, the origin of the problem. If the creation of the snapshot does not properly, it can affect writers and other components involved.

  Please check providers using "vssadmin list providers. If we find any other provider, other than the Microsoft software shadow copy provider, we have to remove from the list.

  To do this: start the registry editor.

  HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VSS/suppliers/GUID.

  One GUID would be for Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider. The other GUID would be for other providers such as StorageCraft. We will save the GUID, and then delete it. Then restart the machine.

  Now when we do vssadmin list providers, we will see only the default Microsoft provider.

  I have seen in many cases where our supplier of StorageCraft may not work properly and continue of not not the authors. In such

  case, if we get rid of the supplier, then the issue is resolved and not re occurs.

  -However this would impede the functionality of StoaregCraft or any other similar to this backup software.

  That's why to engage respective software tech support for further assistance.

  (5) If a shadow copy is enabled on the volume, make sure that the storage area is set to the default location.

  For example:

  If we take a snapshot of C: then the storage area should be C:

  We are changing that, if we do not have enough free space (at least 300 MB) free.

  We can click with the right button on the volume, goto the cliché tab and change it accordingly.

  Also note that the minimum value of the storage area should be 300 MB and maximum can be 3000 MB.

  We can also set any value between the two, which is a multiple of 300, 600, 900, 1200, 1500 etc... According to the available space.

  In the cases where errors in the event viewer on wait times (event id: 12298, 12310, 2004, 12290) then we also need to put the MinDiffArea in the registry.

  HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/Volsnap

  Right side, new DWORD VALUE - "MinDiffAreaFileSize" - change and set the value between "300-3000 Mo" or any multiple

  300 between the two. Ideally, we can define it on 3000 MB which works even better if we have space.

  Ref: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826936

  (6) also, please make sure we have plenty of free space. If we go by the book, a snapshot requires at least 10% of the volume

  to be free.

  Storage controllers (SCSI/RAID controllers) could also be a problem and may need to be updated.

• Need help to choose a hard drive of my iMac desktop backup

  need a recommendation for at least a desktop hard drive 3 TB to use with Time Machine.  with Thunderbolt 2 or 3 USB my iMac is 10.10.5 Core i5, 16 GB of memory. In view of the Weston Digital my passport Pro 4 TB or LaCie2 6 to

  There are many choices, and they are all good for use with Time Machine or may even come with their own such as My Passport templates backup software. You will also find very competitive prices on amazon.com.

  If you plan to use Time Machine, so be sure that your backup disk is 2 or 3 times more capacity than the drive on your computer. Time Machine can use the space quickly.

  Time Machine deletes the old files if they have been deleted from the source when he needs space on the backup to a new incremental backup drive. Time Machine "Jules Destrooper" its backups. over 24 hours, old backups, except the first of the day; These "dailies", old more 30-day backups, except the first day of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there is room.

  How long a backup rest file depends on how long it was on your Mac before you deleted, assuming that you do at least one backup per day. If she was there for less than 24 hours, it will be maintained for at least a month. If she was there at least a week, it will be maintained as long as there is room. By default, Time Machine backs up every hour. This can not be changed in Time Machine. There are third-party utilities that will modify the as Editor of Time Machinebackup interval.

  Time Capsule sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but not descended. So, from the point of view of the user of the time Capsule, it seems that no space was released, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.

  Once Time Machine finds he can't free up enough space for new backup it reports the disk is full. You can erase the backup disk and start over or get a larger drive.

  Hello

  You are welcome

  If the CD/DVD drive in the works of PC Gateway, you can (at least temporarily) remove it and install it in the HP, you can run your recovery disc and reinstall Vista.  Once everything is running on the HP, you can always remove the CD/DVD drive and reinstall it in the gateway PC if you wish.
