Can't create Shadow Copy after full repairs v 3.9.12 - Windows Vista

<< < (2/3) > >>

Willy2:
- Ah, but when one is using Windows Explorer then it won't display the size of a folder, it will only show the size of files. You have to open those folders to see what's inside. (I use a different program instead (XYplorer)).
- See if you've got a file called "_Windows_Repair_log.txt". That will tell what repairs you have run. That's the one I am interested in.

Willy2:
- The repairs that are most likely to break VSS are #4, 5, 7, 8 and 17. Each of these repairs register a bunch of files. In the thread you referred to, changing the order in which these files are registered solved that problem.

saka:
Ok, here I am again,

I ran repair #4 alone, and it broke VSS. I repaired with #19, it was ok.
Then ran #5 and #7. None of them broke the VSS. So here I am now. Don't have time to test #8 and #17 now. If it's important to you, pls let me know and I'll try tomorrow.

As far as the log files are concerned, I tried with Windows Explorer, with Shadow Explorer, with Qdir. None of them can open those folders, sorry. TWR seems not creating proper log files on my machine, don't know why.

Cheers

Boggin:
Are you still using 3.9.12 or have you updated to 3.9.13 and still getting the same problems ?

Willy2:
- Grab the file in the attachment and change the extension from ".txt" to ".bat", run the (*.bat) file with administrator's rights. It's a heavily modified version of repair #4. If all is well, then it shouldn't break VSS anymore. If it works then I know where WR needs to be improved. (I know, VSS has been a "REAL pain in the a**")

- You also can try "ExplorerXP"
(http://www.explorerxp.com/)

to view what's going on, on your HD. Although it was designed for Win XP, it still works on my Win 7 system (and I assume on your Vista system as well.). It has some "rough edges" but in spite of that it does work well. And it is in some regards better than Windows Explorer.
