Okey Dokey...

Start the programme and select backup
[attachment=61169:backup.JPG]

Select the areas to backup
I have selected here my main C drive and everything on it
[attachment=61170:what.JPG]

Select where to save the backup
I have selected to use another partition on my disc, but it can also be backed up to a DVD
[attachment=61171:where.JPG]

Now show the programme where that location is (either another partition or DVD)
I have selected my G drive
[attachment=61172:location.JPG]

You will then see a summary of what you have asked for
[attachment=61174:summary.JPG]

This is where you can make a name for the backup, or date if you wish.
I have selected here to backup immediately
[attachment=61173:name.JPG]

Then the programme will do its thing
Whilst this was going on I was still using the computer for other stuff.. Not intensive though just typing etc..
[attachment=61175:working.JPG]

And then you will see this
[attachment=61176:done.JPG]

Is that ok ?

fantastic essex
thank you for
everything your awesome

i will attemp backup now
lol

[Essexboy]

Once that is done then assume you hit a disaster on the weekend like 600 viruses attack you en masse ... Then all you need do is restore the image you made today and all will be well again

Let me know how it goes and any further questions you may have

[snowysdad43]

well i did the procedure and had a disk in the drive but it did not write /burn to disk ? i got the finish screen like you displayed and finished but nothing happenmed am i now supposed to contact them for my files ?
remember i was having problems with the cd rom drive ? computer will boot from the cdrom but if i put a blank disk in there then click my computer it says insert disk in drive like it doesnt detect the drive
i just downloaded image burn to see if i could burn something but dont have anything on my computer except thre tools installed here
i put a pictutre in my documents to try to burn iyt to a disk and it did not work .i guess i have to be smarter than the blank disk

OK lets fix the CD problem next

Download and install the MS Fixit center
This is an excellent programme to have on your system
Once installed then run the fixit centre
Run the CD/DVD reading and writing fixit
[attachment=61179:Capture.JPG]

This will ensure that all the right settings are present
Let me know if that fixes it
If it doesn't it may be a hardware problem

[snowysdad43]

thanks essexnot it seems my device is not capable of writing who would have thunk it lol i replaced it a while ago with one from an old computer and well it is what it is lol
so i will have to get another drive down the road but for now i think we are good
i suppose i could pick up a flash drive or 6 to put the backup on
Unless you have any other words of wisdom for me i would say you resolved all my issues ( well not all my personal issues but that i will save for the shrinks couch) lol
cheers mate great work thank you again

Hi Todd could you do the following and let me know what the problem is with the laptop

Download OTL to your Desktop
Secondary link

• Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
  
  
  
• Select All Users
• Under the Custom Scan box paste this in
  
  netsvcs
  BASESERVICES
  %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
  /md5start
  services.*
  explorer.exe
  winlogon.exe
  Userinit.exe
  svchost.exe
  winsock.*
  /md5stop
  CREATERESTOREPOINT
  
• Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
  
• When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
• Post both logs

Is this a 32 bit or 64bit system ?

[snowysdad43]

64

[Essexboy]

OK lets have a look see, this will enable me to see what is on the system without having to load windows

Download the following three programmes to your desktop :


1. WiNTBootIc
2. Windows 7 64bit RC
3. Farbar Recovery Scan Tool x64

Extract wintoboot to your desktop
Insert a USB drive of at least 1GB
Run Wintoboot



Drag and drop the Windows 7 ISO to the programme in the space indicated
Tick the Format box and accept the warnings
Press Do It

You will see it progressing



It will let you know when it is done
Then copy FRST to the same USB




Insert the USB into the sick computer and start the computer. First ensuring that the system is set to boot from USB
Note: If you are not sure how to do that follow the instructions Here


When you reboot you will see this although yours will say windows 7. Click repair my computer


Select your operating system


Select Command prompt


At the command prompt type the following :

notepad and press Enter.
The notepad opens. Under File menu select Open.
Select "Computer" and find your flash drive letter and close the notepad.
In the command window type e:\frst64.exe and press Enter
Note: Replace letter e with the drive letter of your flash drive.
The tool will start to run.
When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.

Press Scan button.
It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. Please copy and paste it to your reply.
