should I buy a drive for backup with my digital copy?

I am looking to buy Windows 7 Ultimate of MS online and would like to know if the backup drive is worth the cost. I read the posts that you can create your own backup disk and you can image your installation on a h/d for guard duty. But if these options are already available why offer the backup drive? Any ideas would be great. Thank you.

  • I want to use a flash drive for backup, BUT I want a full backup of the entire drive.

    I had once an external drive for backup.  It was supposed to be a backup that would replace everything and put it back where it was.  I cheated because when I got to use it I found that it would reinstall was certain documents and photos.  None of my downloads and all the update programs has been lost. I wanted a mirror image!

    Now, I think a full image on a flash drive would be the way to go, but I don't know what software to use.

    I need help from someone who has this software and a USB flash drive.  Thank you

    Hello

    1/10 1.5 TB = 150 GB - buy a 150 GB flash drive (if you could find it on the market today) could cost you an arm and a leg. Buy a 1 to external portable HARD drive can cost you a little more $ 100.

    I hope this helps.

    Looking at the website of Olympus, it would appear that we do not
    There are.

    But you do not need a driver because you do not need to connect your
    camera to the computer. Just put the memory card in a card reader and
    access like this instead. I prefer to do it with my camera,
    because it is easier, faster and uses no battery in the camera.

  • I can't play DVDs in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 Pro and get this error msg: Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection.

    Hello, thanks for reading and helping me.

    I try to play a legitimate, belonging to DVD, but Windows Media Player 12 will not play on my computer Windows 7 Professional.  The DVD worked a few days ago, but all of a sudden, I get the following error message:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card.

    I did a lot of research of these forums and on the ' net.  Here are the suggested steps I tried without success:

    • I tried VLC player.  This works.  However, rather than use this workaround, I wish to find a solution to my problem WMP/WMC.
    • I tried several DVD for years over the last decade.  These DVD works on my laptop, also running Windows 7 Professional and the shark 007 codec.
    • I uninstalled my Shark 007 codec
    • I tried other codecs (K-Lite)
    • I assured that the latest drivers are installed on my video card, XFX ATI Radeon 5850
    • I tried to uninstall Nero 9
    • I tried to use the Windows 7 troubleshooting options:
    • > Reading and burning CD, DVD and Blu - ray (no problem)
    • > Windows Media Player DVD (no problem)
    • > Windows Media Player Settings (detects a problem, wants to restore factory settings, every time, no matter what happens)
    • A system restore to a time when the DVD was working did not resolve the issue
    • The different links in Microsoft, I found in this forum about this problem do not seem to be useful.  There is a link that points to the set-top boxes, but this page just says: "Windows 7 comes with a decoder.
    • I assured the latest driver is available by going to "Device Manager", right click on the drive, then click on "update driver software".
    • I assured that the latest firmware is installed directly from the manufacturer's website.
    • I tried to reset my DRM by renaming the DRM under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows folder and by going to this Web site to upgrade:http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp?force=1
    • I've uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Media Player 12 and Windows Media Center via the function "functionality in Windows.

    I would be very grateful if a Microsoft technology could chime.  Thanks for your help!

  • My laptop is windows 7 and with most of DVD it says that there is a problem with the digital copy. I'm also having trouble changing the region

    the exact message is: "windows media player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection. Try to install a driver available for your video card. When I click close it comes with this another message saying that my DVD system is set to the region one and I need to change it to region 2. I have change for the region, but he said: "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because the disc prohibits playback in your region of the world. You must obtain a disc that is intended for your geographic region. ». I don't know what to do.

    There is a chance that the free VLC Media Player
    would be to read your DVD without changing the region code.

  • A Blue Ray disc with a digital copy of the film sends me to a page to update Media Player security, but the button updated it does not work

    I bought a 3-disc Blu - ray Star Trek film set.  The 3rd disc is a DVD-ROM with a digital copy of the film, for transfer to a PC.  When I try the transfer, there is a message saying update Windows Media Player to my system with the functions of security necessary to play protected content.  Then a link in the transfer of Star Trek dialog box sends me to http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp where there is a button to upgrade.  But it is faded, as when a disabled function is grayed out...  If clicked, the button will not activate.  What should do?

    I ran Windows Update and updates was not available in Media Player.  I have Windows 7 Starter on a netbook Gateway

    1/2 hour later, well, what do you know?  After many attempts and refresh in Internet Explorer, the upgrade button finally loaded and worked.  Problem solved.  Transferred film and plays very well.

  • External hard drive for use with FCPX Thunderbolt

    I got a new iMac, but the SSD in it's tiny, so I need to invest in an external drive at least some of TB.  Should I go Thunderbolt because I think it's faster?  I'm looking at Fantom and Lacie but I'm not sure what would work best for use with FCPX.

    Any tips or suggestions for these two manufacturers?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Well, a disc of Tb2 (which takes care of your iMac) will offer excellent performances. If you need these speeds depends on really how ask your projects are. A USB3 drive will be fast enough for the vast majority of HD projects. Expect to spend more for the readers of Thunderbolt2.

    Here is a good article on configuring systems with external drives.

    Good luck.

  • Using a USB flash drive for backup more driver and application backup recovery

    I have a 32 GB flash drive I used to create a recovery for my Aspire S7 backup using Windows 8.1. I understand that in creating this backup everything on the flash drive is deleted before creating backup. Can I now use this drive for other purposes, e.g., pilots and backup applications, pictures, documents, etc., or this flash drive now should he remain dedicated to the sole purpose of being a backup recovery?

    Hi zimmerbob

    I keep as a backup to dedicated recovery flash drive and use one for drivers & applications.

    It is always wise to keep the recovery discs, as well as the recovery disks. Flash memory is quite inexpensive for the moment!

  • Need assistance, transfer of files to a flash drive for backup.

    I need to delete my aol files to a flash drive for storage. I tried to find the path on my pc but cannot locate. I need to know if it is possible? Also, I need to know if I'll be able to open the mails from the flash drive after I download, it is possible to download the flash player.

    You will not be able to move your emails of aol.com to your USB key (they are on a website, not your computer) If you are using AOL desktop, you may, but you will probably not be able to open them. In any case, it is a site of firefox support, not AOL, I would contact them.

  • G2 HP ZBook 17: additional drive for backup

    in my HP ZBook 17 G2 I want to create a backup to avoid any possible malfunction

    the idea was to add a backup drive, theres 2 free slots but I'm not sure what disc ive old buy

    The idea is to use just to back up so probably doesn't have any SSD, but I'm not an expert

    So were I can find the exact type of the disk that fits in my notebook?

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See page 44

    It would seem that the laptop is running the operating system of a type of mSATA SSD or there is not two bays open for full 2.5 inch wide SATA hard drive.

    For pure storage, what you need is a 2.5 inches wide 7mm or 9.5 mm thick laptop SATA like this:

    http://www.Amazon.com/Blue-Mobile-hard-disk-drive/DP/B00C9TEBJQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&QID=1461856475&SR=8-2&keywords=1+TB+2.5+inch

    It is 1 TB of storage for $60. In addition, if you haven't already, you must the kit caddy/Caddy hard drive into the drive Bay:

    Citing the Manual:

    The hard drive carrier, cover and screws are included in the hard disk hardware Kit, spare part number 734280-001.

    http://www.Amazon.com/HP-734280-001-hard-drive-hardware/DP/B00FYLN13I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1461856586&SR=8-1&keywords=734280-001

    The operating system will continue to operate from the SSD and when you install a blank disc you can initialize and format it in disk management and be a place for lots of storage. 2 TB drives are available if you need even more space. Theoretically, you can install 2 x 2 TB and 4 TB of storage. You can create a partition on one of these drives and configure Windows file backup/history to make an image with a backup system, at regular intervals, the so if the MSSD goes bad break out you in a new and to recover the laptop to exactly the State wherever it was when the last backup. The rest of the readers add-in, you can use for storage of work.

  • How to use Ready Boost, and what are the requirements for the use of portable hard drives and flash drives for use with Ready Boost?

    I have Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate Edition and try to get Ready Boost to work on my PC using portable hard drives or flash drives. I have 2 portable hard drives (iomega 120gig, Seagate 250gig) and a 8gig sandisk cruzer flash drive. All this deterioration when you try to use the ready boost said that these discs only are not compatible or not supported. So what do I need?

    Not all readers will work with ReadyBoost. There are some readers who actually will specify that they are capable of ReadyBoost.

    By WikiPedia:

    • The device should have an access time of 1ms or less.
    • The device must be capable of 2.5 MB/s for 4 KB random read speeds indicates the spread uniformly across the entire device and 1.75 MB/s write for 512 speed random writes spread uniformly across the device.

    You must also put the device and let it plugged in for ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost is therefore best suited for a small thumbdrive (up to 4 GB) that greater thumbdrive or external HD that you would probably be disconnect from time to time.

    Open solutions Explorer window, find your Cruzer - right-click on it and click Properties. If there is a ReadyBoost tab, you can set up - set it to dedicate this device to ReadyBoost. It will be implemented and save a file on the USB key. Click Apply and're you good to go.

    A caveat which I can testify first-hand. Apparently while booting, Win 7 has trouble with some USB key - it will search the thumbdrive, the operating system, the process of starting to stall and you say: ' Missing Operating System ' - Fortunately the solution is very easy. Shut down the computer, remove the USB key, restart the computer and it will start normally. I had this happen with a 8 GB Cruzer. This seems to be a random thing, because I had the Cruzer plugged in and booted several times without encountering the error of missing operating system message. No idea why or why it is injury. Currently, I use a Kodak USB 2 gig key that seems to work very well.
