vista lite

I am trying to create an image I can use to boot from USB. I don't have the
XP installation CD instead I have the ghost file. I created a ghost image
using Ghost 8.0. I am able to use the Ghost explorer and view all the files.
Is it possible to create a bootable image ?.

Can I format the USB key and copy all the files from the ghost image ?. Is
there any way I could make this work ?.

Thanks

Hi everyone, well I have a serious problem. Accidentally I was adding some
files to movie maker, and I select a Dynamic Linking Library file ( .dll ).
After that all the Dlls files change to open with windows movie maker, making
me some dificulties in other programs such as stoping programs, making
aplication unable and more things like that. How can I fix that problem?
Thank you for your time & help.

Question:
When I tried to use Office LiveMeeting 2007 Record Manager to save my
meeting recording, the vista will be crashed (Blue screen APC_INDEX_MISMATCH).

Environment:
My machine is Dell D620
OS is Vista 32 business with SP1 . Graphics driver is latest one.
(User profiles , such as my documents, have been moved to disk D , not disk
C as default).


The following is the information:
================================================== =======
From Memory Dump File:
APC_INDEX_MISMATCH (1)
This is a kernel internal error. The most common reason to see this
bugcheck is when a filesystem or a driver has a mismatched number of
calls to disable and re-enable APCs. The key data item is the
Thread->KernelApcDisable field. A negative value indicates that a driver
has disabled APC calls without re-enabling them. A positive value indicates
that the reverse is true. This check is made on exit from a system call.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000000, address of system function (system call)
Arg2: 7ffdf000, Thread->ApcStateIndex << 8 | Previous ApcStateIndex
Arg3: 0000ffff, Thread->KernelApcDisable
Arg4: 00000000, Previous KernelApcDisable

Can anyone tell me the reason and how to solve it?

I am running Vista Home Premium on my box. Will this idea of mine work to
back up my computer. I have my computer set up in a simple way. I have my
administrator account I named "Bob" that I use only when absolutely
necessary. I set up one user account named "Bob1" (Wow, that's original!! -
LOL) using all default settings and permissions. "Bob1" is my main and only
user account I use all the time and it all runs excellent with this simple
configuration. There is nothing in the administrator account I need to
backup.



Here is my plan. I have not done this yet. I first backup my outlook
calendar to a "todays_date.pst" file and put it a folder named "backup" in
"Bob1" account folder. I do not use outlook for email. I use "Windows
Mail" as my only email application. I use "Windows Contacts" exclusively
for contacts. I am a simple user. All the rest of my working files and all
other files that are important to me are in the "Bob1" user folder. So
next I highlight the "Bob1" user folder and copy and paste the whole thing
to a USB hard drive and go to bed and in the morning my computer is backed
up.



Lets say my hard drive fails and I replace it. I install vista. I install
ms office. I copy and paste my user folder backup into my main user
account. I reinstall my calendar in outlook from my .pst backup file. I
then reestablish user preferences in vista and office, etc.. Now all is
restored the way it was before my hard drive died.



Would this backup method work? I do not mind reinstalling each piece of
software individually, I actually would prefer it.



If this backup method would not work the way I describe, how do I modify
this method so it will work?



My goal is a fast method to back up just my files and data quick. In the
event of hard drive failure I reinstall the operating system and then each
individual software application I use and then reinstall the data and files.



I currently use Acronis True Image Home 10.0. The dirty dogs run three
processes at computer start up. I emailed them and told them I only need to
backup every one or two weeks, why have three processes running all the
time? They answered that those three processes are needed and gave me a
complex method to get around it that I do not want to spend five hours
figuring it out. Besides, I just don't trust a restore from an image
backup. I just want to get away from trusting commercial backup software.
I just cannot be comfortable with trusting years of irreplaceable files to
commercial image backup software. A low-tech manual file backup described
above seems much more reliable because it is the same process I use every
day moving files around my computer.



Thanks for the help.
