  Hello

  Why you didn t create a DVD recovery Toshiba at the beginning?

  In my view, there is info in the user manual and a notification that recovery HARD disk image should be burnt on the DVD using the Toshiba recovery disc creator.

  I don't know if you will be able to reinstall Vista now without buying the DVD of recovery of m.

  Try to boot the computer and press the F8 key. Usually a start menu should appear providing some options. The first option called fix my computer will allow you to reinstall Vista. But I doubt that this option is now available after installation of XP!

  This is why you last chance would be a recovery DVDs you can buy here:

• Volume shadow copy error after moving to MSATA SSD on R7 - 572

  A while back I cloned the value default 1 TB SATA drive on an MSATA SSD plugged into the slot unit MSATA.

  At the time I had been unable to conceive the MSATA as boot drive, while the original (also bootable drive) was in the system such that it does not appear in the BIOS from startup list.

  http://community.Acer.com/T5/S-and-R-series-laptops/cloned-SSD-in-Boot-Manager-but-not-boot-priority...

  As I did not need the 1 TB, I just removed and have used the system very well with just the MSATA SSD.

  Today, I tried to make an Image of Windows backup system and ran a (below) Volume shadow copy error

  Volume shadow copy service operation failed. (0x807800A1)

  Writer has encountered a transient error... (0x800423F3)

  I check all the main remedy online by ensuring that all VOlume shadow copy served are running, but without success. I feel that the fact that I'm on the SSD MSATA which was not visible in the list of the BIOS boot maybe being tied to the backup crashing.

  Anyone running the R7-572 on the MSATA port that is able to make a system image backup?

  Thanks for your comments

  It took me awhile, but I finally understood what was preventing the creation of the image of the system.

  Looking at the event viewer, he had a lot of mistakes, the first mistake we a CAPI2 with event 513, then it was a VSS error with event ID 8228 stating an invalid character in an XML file.

  Error says:
  Do not parse the XML file.
  Reason, an invalid character was found in text content.
  Line 0x000003c0
  Position 0x000009c8, the file below is damaged.
  0xc00ce508 error code
  Text problem<>

  Search through dozens of threads and try a number of bugs without success, I finally found one who mentioned their question came from bad characters in the names of partition after cloning with EaseUs Todo backup.

  It's the tool that I used to clone my drive to a SSD, I decide to check it out.

  The thread mentioned using GPT fdisk utility found on sourceforge, so I downloaded the tool.

  You just run the executable in administrator mode. Find how to use it was a little hard, but basically the commands below does the job

  0:-enabled disk 0, which is my drive.

  I - to view the information on each partition

  It will ask you the number. This allows you to see the names. Some of my partitions had some very strange names did not, we had a quote.

  I checked what names when used on another laptop and decided to appoint mine as follows (I think you can use any name)

  first 600 MB partion: database partition

  Second partition of 300 MB: EFI system partition

  Thrid 128 MB partion: Microsoft Reserved partition

  Fourth 205GB partition: partition database

  Fifth 17 GB partition: partition recovery

  To change the name of the partition, use the command

  c ask for the number of the partition, then the name

  Then save with

  w - written revisions and outputs

  I rebooted, tried the system image backup and no problem this time.

  I lost a full day on this topic, so I hope it can help someone else in the future

• When I defragment I get message "suspended for the shadow copy of volume.

  Original title: Defrag problem

  When I defragment I get message 'suspended for the shadow copy of volume' whatever that means?

  The VSS Service should not be run unless you do some kind of a backup that uses it.

  Are you using any kind of third-party backup software that would force the VSS Service to run all the time?

  If defrag used to work, what do you think might have changed since the last time it worked correctly?

  I have my VSS Service set to "Manual" - in this way, it not start with XP on a restart and run all day to do nothing, but he will start by itself when I do a backup and stop when the backup is complete (it runs when you need).

  You check the VSS Service, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  services.msc

  Click OK to open the Services applet and find the Volume Shadow Copy Service.

  Select the status and Startup Type columns.

  If you do not have a backup at this time there, the Status column must be empty (not started) and the Startup Type should be set to manual.

  If this is not the case, let a right-click on the VSS Service, properties, Stop (to stop it), change the Startup Type to manual and OK your way out (ensure that it is reactivated by itself).  If it starts up again without a valid reason, you need to understand why and fix it.  Restart to make sure the changes 'stick '.

  See if your defragmentation works when the VSS Service does not work...

  Sometimes a reboot will fix this. You can also try a system restore to a point before it started happening

  Hi rebick,.

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  We would like to get more information about you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

  • When was the last time it worked?
  • Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

  First of all, I would say that you unplug any external drive connected to the computer except the keyboard and mouse.

  This error message can occur if there is some system files corrupted on your computer. Suggest to run a SFC scan, which would be a search for system files corrupted on the computer and replace them.

  Scan SFC enforcement procedure:

  1. click on the Start button

  2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories

  3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

  4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option

  5 If you have the enabled User Account Control (UAC) you will be asked to consent to the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter

  7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.

  8. be patient because the analysis may take some time

  9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue

  10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

  11 after the scan finished, close the command prompt window reboot the computer and check.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista.

  For more information please visit the link below.

  How to repair the operating system and how to restore the configuration of the operating system to an earlier point in time in Windows Vista

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936212

  If the step above does not resolve the issue, I would say that you create a new user on the computer account.

  Log on to the new user account and check if you can create a system restore point.

  1. Open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, then clicking on user accounts.
  2. Click on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  3. Click on create a new account.
  4. Type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click on create an account.

• Can't update or restore? The shadow copy of volume? problem

  The last time I could work happily without errors was right until I downloaded IE9.  I have a x32bit. Dell PC and have Windows Vista Home Basic.  I can't do updates longer without error codes (80040154) as well as since I bought it, for some reason, I've never been able to use the system restore it always comes back with the unfinished system restore.  I'll try to run now just to see what error message is.since I did not note.  Can make backups, I noticed just recently, but did not have one yet.

  The problem that I continue to have is that I get an error message stating "the Volume Shadow Copy used by the system restore does not work.  See the event log for more information. (0x81000202). "I think that my system is unstable.  I no longer, since IE is unusable since October last I now use Google chrome or Mozilla Firefox.  A factory re install easier than anything else.  Please advise I have tried several times to follow the instructions given by others and it never works.

  Asked for a 3-4 years old Dell would be of any effect to all the factory re - install?  Which means it would be easier to fix the problem otherwise.  In any case, please advise as soon as POSSIBLE to let it just the way it is if you think I don't no need for updates, etc.  I use the PC for research and e-mail.  Not much.  Long-term I can't help him.  I never know if I have given you enough information. Thank you so so much.

• Shadow Copy Provider cannot create system restore point error Ox8004230F?

  When I try to create a system restore on my Vista operating system, you get the above error message.
  I have entered what has been suggested in the forums and Services.
  What should I do now?
  Thanks for you help.

  When researching other forums via Google, I found this in 'My Digital Life '.  It solved my problem so I post here to help people who may have tried all the "fix - its" that did not work!

  "The error occurs because the Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider service is stopped or disabled. The Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider Service manages shadow copies of volume based on software taken by the Volume Shadow Copy service. If this service is stopped, shadow copies of volume based on software cannot be managed. If this service is disabled, as when you manually disable the snapshot, all services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start. "

  The Shadow Copy Provider MS and the shadow copy of Volume must be enabled.  With my problem I'm not far enough to allow the Shadow Copy Provider MS.  When I did, it has allowed me to create a restore point.

  Thank you.
