go get symantec ghost server. the trial version never runs out and you are only losing a few features that you will most likely never use. you can make a ghost of your system then use ghost explorer to browse the backup

I just tried to install Symantes Ghost, and it told me that it couldn't be installed on 95, 98, ME, or XP?? then what can you install it on? just 2000? but that was a good idea, if anyone has another one like that, let me know.

This problem has been solved, one of mmy friends finally got fastconv from someone that's had this problem too. Don't know where he got it. But anyway, i have to now and it works incredibly well. to download it yourself, go to:
http://www.geocities.com/bbacle2003/ spread the work that it's publicly available now and maybe we can rule out one more XP quirk. it comes with instructions too. Thanks a lot to everyone who helped. |

Yes I just used it today and it works incredibly well. you can uncompress a 2GB file in about 30 minutes. It puts all the extracted files in whatever folder you want them in, and in exactly the same way they were before the backup. Now... if anyone has drivers for a Sony PEG-NR70V PDA, Sony seems to have quit supplying them. I know that's an unrelated question but I thought it was worth a try.

Thanks from me too Brion for digging that out.
I'll not have to slave a drive again (maybe).

For those who used FASTConv.exe:
I'm trying to use it to extract some corrupted stores, but when I get the command line correct it gives me the message, "Access is denied". Have any of you encountered this? Or know what I might be doing wrong? Thanks. |

Are you logged in as an administrator? I am not sure if that makes a difference, but may need to be an administrator for that program.

I'm running WinXP; my account is Admin status, I even tried restarting in safe mode to use the Administrator account. Nothing works. I input my the command into C-Prompt, but tells me "access is denied". I don't know what to think. I don't have too much experience with DOS prompt, and I'm doing everything it says to do in the FASTConv instructions.txt notepad document.
