• Error message "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Problem copying content from your PC to external hard drive.

  Original title: problem to copy content from your PC to external hard drive.

  I use Windows XP 2000 and am trying to restore my pc to factory settings as it is continuously 'stick '. When you try to copy my drive "c" on an external drive I get a message saying "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Close any program that might be using the file and try again "." What is 'hiberfil' and how do I close it down as I am not aware that I use?

  Concerning

  Pete

  The hiberfil.sys will be created every time that you start... If you put in hibernation enabled in your control panel, Power Options and the file is 'open' to think that you can actually choose to Hibernate at any given time.  When you Hibernate XP gives a note of it and will write a hiberfil.sys sometimes important in the c:\ folder so that when XP fires again upwards and returns from hibernation, XP will read the hiberfil.sys file and return to the situation that you were in when you put into hibernation.

  I use to be a chronic hibernant because it takes less time to return after hibernation as a cold start.  Sometimes, it can actually be slower that a cold so start your system based on the amount of RAM has.  The more RAM you have, the more your hiberfil.sys will, if sometimes it's faster to move with just a cold start if you Hibernate (26,03 seconds for me).

  If hiberfil.sys is giving you a hard time (you would not in any way copy it) disable hibernation in your Power Options and the file will be deleted immediately since it would be is no longer necessary.  That would solve this, but if you are trying to copy the entire C drive, you will have other files to complain after that.

  It is certainly possible to make a complete copy of the C drive, if you want, but you will have to initialize on something next to your drive hard if you want to do this so the XP files are not used - then you can copy anything and everything.  You can get some imaging software of disc that will also help you.

  It depends on what the problem is you want to solve and what you wand to end up with when you're done (so far, unspecified).

  I would work on figure our why your XP is paste and fix it in place.  XP should not be sticky.

  best way to transfer photos from the iMac on external hard drive

  If you are mobile loose photo files, drag them in here and if you are going to be removed from the inside, keep a copy on a second disc.

  If you move an iPhoto, Aperture, or photo library, make sure that the external hard drive contains a volume to the Mac OS Extended format, drag the library there, launch the application with the key Option key, choose it, confirm that it works and if you are going to be remove from the inside, keep a copy of it on a second disc.

• Can I use time capsule from Apple and an external hard drive that is connected to my Mac at the same time to save?

  I have an external hard drive (1 TB ADATA HV620) and a time capsule of Apple 2009. So far I have used the external drive-DATA to back up regularly on my Mac, but it uses one of my USB slots. I would like to start using the time capsule from Apple to everything back up, as it does so wireless, but I still want to be able to back up by using the ADATA hard drive occasionally. Is it possible to use two devices to back up or can I use only one device? Thank you.

  You can use the two devices, but Time Machine... If that's what you use to back up... can back up only to a disc at a time. So if you set up Time Machine to back up on both discs, it will support drive until one first, then the other after the first drive of the backup is complete.

• HP ProBook 450 G: drive recovery on external hard drive

  Hello!

  I had a few questions.

  I have a HP ProBook G2 450 with Windows 8.1 now, I wanted to create a disk recovery, but on an external hard drive. Is it so that it is not possible to put it on an external hard drive? When I try to make a recovery it says I should use one with at least 16 GB USB Flash drive. So this means that I could not even do a DVD recovery disc?

  And I would also know, if I put teaching 10 Windows (as our University offers), is possible later use the 8.1 Windows recovery disc to return to 8.1?

  Eager to help!

  Marta

  Hello

  Please use a few DVDs or good USB. The USB will be write-protected therfore no point to use the external HARD drive because you will not be able to use your external HARD drive, only read. Normally, you have 2 options: use of DVD or USB.

  Yes, you can use recovery media to go back to your orginal Windows 8.1.

  Note: you can create recovery media once.

  Kind regards.

• Windows XP - a problem to transfer big file from laptop on an external hard drive

  I have a problem to transfer large files (mail.pst - zipped file - 5Gbyte) of the laptop (Dell Latitude D630) on an external hard drive (WD 320 G - FAT 32) where each time, I got the message "there is not enough free space on the disk" although I did successfully drive clean on both sides and there is enough space on both sides (not less than 25 GB).

  Also, I did a checkdisk command and he succeeded, and I use Windows XP

  I did several tests to resolve and in the end, I found that I convert the format of external hard drive FAT 32 to NTFS, and then I could successfully transfer the file.

  I used the following commands:

  (1) command line then chkdsk to repair bad sectors

  (2) convert the command line to change the format to FAt 32 to NTFS

  Note: For Windows xp, "convert" command will not delete the files from the hard drive

• Unable to get the preview of images that are cut and pasted from desktop folder to external hard drive.

  Original title: I imported the photos of my card SD by cutting and pasting etil worked very well but when I did the same thing to the table and stuck in the external hard drive, I can't not open images as it is said no preview.

  Only this particular file does not open and you please help u to get the photos can save that a link is missing and I don't know what.

  Hi Gregory Trinidade,

  You can try to create a folder in the C: drive and copy the images on the desktop folder C: drive.  After copy in C: drive then try again copy on external hard drive and see if it works well or not.

  Make sure that you have access to the C: drive. Also instead of cut photos copy in another location.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Satellite A110 installs recovery disk but HARD DRIVE not displayed

  Hi guys,.

  After searching the net, I finally found a forum in which I hope you can help me.
  I tried to search this forum for an answer but couldn't find him.

  I have a toshiba satellite a110-159, who, after a setback, did not start.
  CHKDSK discovered many problems when I plugged the hard drive to another pc, but the laptop could not even boot from the disc.

  Anyway, I copied the most important data and back up the disk in the laptop. with product recovery center of disks that I was able to reinstall windows xp installation support, but after the first reboot, the laptopt did not find the hard drive, it is not displayed in the bios.

  strange, although the recovery disks installed... anyone know how REList the hard drive in the bios? It has been listed here before reinstalling windows xp mc...:(donc c'est comme il a fait quelque chose avec le bios ou presque.)

  hope you guys know what is the problem with this one.
  thnx in advance!

  Edit:
  the drive is accessible when it is placed in another system of system or desktop with converter and copy and works very well.

  What makes you look very risky!
  You are lucky that your laptop still works...

  I would not recommend doing so. If you want to set the BIOS to factory settings then set the defaults in the BIOS settings.

  In any case thanks for your comments

• problem starting after trouble disconnecting an external hard drive

  Starting system but touch panel (Mouse) doesn´t work. Shows a window with an error message "not properly disconnected hard drive '.

  Is the possibility of everything during the priming by press some special help keys?

  in the meantime a connected external HD and the message not correct disconneting about disappeared.

  But now she a new message appeared on a problem with finder. I have can´t open finder and I have therefore no change to start time machine or the hard drive service program.

  It would be best if had a DVD with an operating system.

  The question now is how to create a bootdisk from my iMac.

• Cannot start on USB 3.0 external hard drive?

  I have created a startup disk, so much for my new Mac Pro 2013 and finally to put in my old Mac Pro silver tour 2012.

  I did a clean install of El Capitan on an external HD. Nothing else on the subject. The Western Digital 2 TB Green is in a pregnant Sabre, connected to a USB 3.0 hub, which is connected to the new Mac Pro 2013. I tried a couple of different ways to select external HD and boot to it, but I keep priming in Macintosh HD SSD installed in the Mac Pro (2013).

  I was wondering if the problem is the hub. Should the HD be connected directly to the Mac Pro?

  Should the HD be connected directly to the Mac Pro?

  Yes, exactly.

  The reason is that a USB Hub arrives too late to be seen at boot time, so the drive is not available to start from.

  It is also a problem for the use of 'hang up the keys' at startup - beyond the hub keyboard is not visible at startup.

• Satellite L300, how to start from the cd/dvd external USB drive?

  I have an old laptop Satellite L300, latest version of the BIOS (2.20) installed.
  I would like to start on a connected external USB CD/DVD player
  PROBLEM:
  BIOS will not start on this CD/DVD disc.
  In the BIOS boot priority is: CD/DVD, USB, HDD
  BEHAVIOR:
  When starting, computer ignores the CD/DVD, ignores the USB and start on the HARD drive.
  QUESTION:
  Is it possible at all boot for CD/DVD USB external?

  Thanks for the efforts made to respond.
  Concerning

  It is NOT possible, I thought. REASON: The BIOS does not, does not reckognize CD/DVD (does not test if code such USB-CD/DVD bootable) drive connected via USB.
