Need advise re: my personal FDISR set-up

Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services / Volume Shadow Copy = Manual

Change back to vss and try again.

 

stapp, Erik....do i need to disable it? VSS start up type is Manual same with Microsoft Shadow copy

 

i already try my best guys, i think my new computer dont like FDISR.

back to option 1.....either ATI10 or Rollback Rx

 

No the good setting = manual, that is also the default setting after installing Windows.
Nothing seems to work and that's a pity.
Only support can help you now.

 

You certainly need an Image Backup Software, like ATI. That is a MUST.
Never work with a computer without backup.
FDISR and/or RollbackRx is LUXURY, it's easy to have but you don't really need it.

FDISR or RollbackRx is NOT a replacement for Image Backup software.

 

yeah thats why im interested with FDISR or any software that do the same as windows system restore....but of course more improve.

im looking now for Rollback Rx

 

Keep in mind that RollbackRx is not discussed here.
RollbackRx is for the forum "Software & Services" otherwise we get troubles with the moderators.

 

oopss. sorry.

i'll created thread in that forum hope you still help me even though you guys hate rollback rx

 

Forgot to ask if you've disabled Microsoft backup prior to installing FDISR? I disabled and deleted all MS restore points prior to installing FDISR on xp. I'd try using RSS before giving up hope. Their might be another program you are unaware of that is fighting FDISR for use of VSS, or leaves VSS in a bad state. You can see all the VSS writers on a computer by typing in "vssadmin" in a dos box without the quotes.

i give this link. hope they will reply. btw, the vendor is horizon

 

That's clever, I really should learn more about DOS, some clever features.

 

anyway i informed them the problem, its up to them if they want to check this link.


@horus...i try RSS and its not working also. what will i do with the "vssadmin", do i need to disable/enable anything?

 

"vssadmin list writers" will show you if their state is stable or not.

"vssadmin list providers" will show that microsoft software shadow copy provider 1.0 as the provider. version 1.0.0.7 should be the one listed for windows xp. If you have more providers I suppose they'd show up here. Most notably you'll probably see shadowprotect's vss engine listed here too.

You need to get ahold of forum poster "grnxnm" since he seems to be well versed in the use of VSS and shadow protect. See here.

That's why I don't want winVISTA on my computer, such new OS causes ALWAYS problems. When my new computer is worned out, most bugs of winVISTA will be fixed. After all it's just an OS, I don't work with an OS, I work with application softwares.

 

1. Uninstall bloatware (~5program)
2. Install CCLEANER (to clean registry after uninstalling bloatware)
3. Uninstall CCLEANER after cleaning registry (since its not advisable to clean registry when FDISR is installed)
4. Turn off system restore (save more HDD space, since FDISR will do the work)
5. Install FDISR

Lemme comment on this:

I say, when you get your laptop, the first thing to do is format it- ask around if you dont trust me.

Install your operating system

Get all your windows updates, and add whatever system maintenance programs you want, and do base level tweaks- let this be your base setup, and make an archive of it.

Copy from that archive and use it for your general useage snapshot- you dont need to uninstall c cleaner, its not gonna hurt your first defense, I dont know why no ones told you that.

Make an archive of the second snapshot also, and keep them updated regularly, either manually or by schedule.

The rest you'll eventually figure out on your own....

 

yup i do clean install. but FDISR is not happy with my Vista Premium.

i hope you guys visit this thread to help me re: Rollback Rx

Totally agree with this, there is nothing wrong with cleaning the registry with fd-isr insatlled, however, this presumes that when you are cleaning the registry you know what you are removing, much like the fad of "optimizing" windows by turning off/disabling services, perfectly fine as long as you know what you are disabling. If you do not know what you are cleaning or disabling then you are likely to end up with more problems than benefits.

 

OMG! After uninstalling Intel Turbo Memory....FDISR is now working with my Vista

 

Are you talking about this hardware and software combination ?
http://www.intel.com/design/flash/nand/turbomemory/index.htm
Where did you get that info ? From support ? From yourself ?

 

erik,

yes thats the 1gb turbo memory i used for my laptop.

I only assumed that its causing the problem (means only myself) because after i removed the device i can run FDISR and create a snapshot

but after playing with FDISR i got this static error. i change to VSS to RSS still not working. i disable my AV still not working. so i just use Rollback Rx to restore my system.


I send log file to Horizon.
