Solve : Back up bother.? |
|
Answer» PERHAPS once again you can help please. I am running vista home premium 32 bit. I have been backing up files to an old external hard drive every MONTH or so.with no trouble using the windows back up system to the external hard drive designated "I " I have recently DOWNLOADED the Paragon back up system and decided to back up the entire contents of my C drive to this external hard drive. I formattted the hard drive and commenced the paragon back up. Unfortunately the external drive was too small and it stopped three quarters of the way through. I cancelled it and tried to re install the original file back up using windows. As usual I got in bother and it would not recognise the external hard drive, with a fault notice coming up saying fault no Ox80070002 was occurring. I tried a system restore without success I am stumped and would welcome suggestions, bearing in mind that I am not computer literate and any help offered would need to be in simple terms. Thanks in anticipation. I suppose you could try (if it's a USB) drive to remove the drive info by going to control panel then device manager finding universal serial bus controllers click on that then find the device within that right click on it and choose uninstall. Then it may be best to reboot and when you have fully booted back up re-attach the drive and see if the drivers etc install and the drive becomes recognised. If not: That code may be related to a 'failed backup'. The only thing I could suggest is a clean format of the external drive and make sure that the drive is big enough for the backup. Thank you Mulreay for your reply. Firstly to your last paragraph. I have done a clean format of the external hard drive. The problem was that that hard drive was apparently not big enough to accept what I tried to load into it so I cancelled it. I then left the Paragon program and went back and tried to install my files only, onto that hard drive (they were on it berore I formatteed it. ) with the Vista back up program, when I kept getting the Back up failed message and the number quoted. I tried going to a different USB socket and got the same result.The Backup failed message. 2. Would the paragon programme conflict with the Windows one? 3 Every time I tried to active the back up a pop up APPEARED notifying that it was searching for drives. I tried to follow your instructions in your first paragraph, and got as far as opening theUSB drive list. As stated I am a compluter numpty. Could you tell me how to locate the specific one that requires attention as per your instructions as I have tried to copy and paste the page showing the drives into this page without success. Thanks again for your interest. I never Like to use the built in backup. Ive always had problems. I normaly only like to back up fully only once then i use a 3rd party software to do the REST. |
