Need software!

[yoco]

If I wanna try and see on live os. Does this mean I need to install new os (linux or this mini xp)
And I use software Paragon Hard Disk Manager™ 11 Server for backing up!

no, nothing gets changed in your hard drive (unless you edit or copy files there) all the live os's do is boot from a cd/dvd/hdd.. and it loads to your ram memory once you turn off the system its gone, and you're back to your os

there you go, burn this iso file to a cd and boot from it

Gonna try it and post result tomorrow!

I downloaded, extracted the zip file. Now I have a few files. Do I only burn ISO file or all of them?

I noticed this also happens a lot lately when I try to copy large amount of data (more than 4GB) on my USB key.

Faulty key or something like an antivirus blocking/delaying the copying process or an improper formating operation done to the key.

I tried yesterday and every time while doing backup my PC freezes.

Assuming it worked fine until yesterday, what changed? Did you do something different on your pc (ie. install programs, changes of any kind etc.)
Since the last backup did you reinstall windows?

Paragon server edition is a windows application or it runs outside windows (bootable cd)? How does it create the backup (partition/drive image or just copies the files)?

If it's just a simple copy operation the process may be stalled by a corrupt file (it can't be read so it keeps trying until it reads it). However, if it's a hdd image then we might be talking about a corrupt location on the hdd.

I only have installed MalwareBytes.

Last time I did full music backup was october 12.
I didn't reinstall windows for a while now.

It creates a folder and inside I get files archive.001, archive.002, etc.

I ran a HDD check and it doesn't look like it's corrupt.

Someone plz recommend a really good software that would completely scan my PC and tell me exactly which hardware it's on!

[anon]

There are many tools for that. Try Everest (looks like it's called AIDA64 now) or Speccy - System Information - Free Download

[Master Razor]

As a freeware alternative you could choose PC Wizzard or SIW

anon, can you plz post the name of that software for changing TCP connection numbers? I can't remember the name, and I had that on my HDD that died.
And one more thing I'm looking for. Is there an alternative to windows copy->paste? For some reason I'm having big problems when I want to paste a large number of files on my sisters USB key. It's in FAT32 format, and I don't want to format to NTSF because she has her music on.

You probably want this?

Any chances one of those files is bigger than 2GB?

Yes, ty!

No, they're video files, ~350MB each. The problem is, when I click on copy then paste into USB key drive sometimes it doesn't show that copying window and if I repeat the process it gives me an error of somekind, so I must plug out the drive forcefully and hope it'll work next time.

If you want to try an alternative copier, there's TeraCopy, but I'd run a chkdsk on the flash drive first.

[yoco]

Will check this one!
And I checked for error already before, said it's fine!
