If you have read my other posts you are aware of the 'SAGA'. And that Im so appreciative of the wonderful help here. The start of this 5 day nightmare was trying to do a backup and I ended up uninstalling my Graphics program, yeah I need to stop. Well my backup still will not work?? It says my media needs to be formatted , that's the message I get as its attempting to run, then it just stops! Error, I have never had to troubleshoot this before and I can't seem to find the info that helps get it going in the right direction. If anyone could give me some steps to resolve this issue where do you start to find why my backup won't load onto the media I have, I have CD's and flash sticks? 4GB? Ill keep looking and hope someone has a moment to 'direct' me. Thanks again, anyone who takes time to read my ramble.

I won't go into the 'Saga' that has been my life these past 5 days, again Thank You. I am still left with the urgency of my ''backup'', I still have the 'error' (I have never had issues with a backup?) concerning my 'media'. I have always used CD's, now Im getting messages about 'formatting' issues. Yes, I know you know at this point , I am not literate when it comes to this subject :), and in reality I have NO computer savvy my conception of how to fix a problem is based on a time before PC's. When you do your research , know your problem then go to the source for your answer?? right , the people who made it?? That doesn't work any more, so many variables are there, and I am fried there is too much , too much information about 'your PC issues'' on the Net.

So Im having this major problem doing a BACKUP , I have read detailed instruction on the 'how to' Im missing something , because my issue really appears to be ''the media'' Im trying to apply it too, and I really need to do this, my backup somehow got on my D drive, with my windows 7?! please don't give up on me I have NO Idea,, and now I have to. do a backup and get it off my D. I have said enough, this is the 3rd time I have written this post in one form or the other? I think Im done, do the follow through , post the question, come back little later and see who has come to my rescue, and no question, this could be a conspiracy? > I have been on this Laptop for too many hours, days help me so I can rest my brain.
Thank You for Your Time,

I'm trying to sift through all of the recent posts made by yourself and others pertaining to this "SAGA". To be honest I am more confused after reading it then I was before...

I understand that you needed a video driver, so you did a Windows Update which seemed to fix the issue. Upon trying to backup you lost your video driver? BSODs??

Please for the sake of confusing me with so many posts, can you write "one" post stating what happened, what program you're using to backup and errors?

I realize you have written about it but upon reviewing ALL of your threads, (as stated before) I am more lost.

Im sorry for the confusion I have a tendency to write the way I (think, talk) which can be fast :( -
The problems started after I installed Windows 7 SP 1 , it started right away, within the day but Im not sure of what was the first thing I noticed for sure. The first thing that was odd, when I went into my music it pulled up Windows Media? Ive never used that to open my music. My Adobe Flash was no longer working. Yes I do have a 64 bit and I use Firefox most of the time but I had addressed the issue long ago and had it running fine. Now Adobe won't work and I have installed Adobe Square still no luck but I can get around to that myself. The blue screen error came up again yesterday? I have never had that error prior to the SP1 installation. After days of errors I bought Reimage to troubleshoot and fix and it did an awesome job I was missing drivers and from what I can 'understand' lots of corrupt files. This a.m. when I turned it on just a blue screen with a row of numbers??

I have to ask did you do a fresh install of win7 or was it an upgrade ?
