Windows 7 "works" but can not create folder or rename files

<< < (10/15) > >>

Boggin:
I just drag & drop them into an USB - don't do any NAS etc. although I use Macrium Reflect Free for my Win 10 System Images.

I use Windows own Create a system image on my Win 7 machine.

I'm in the process of performing a repair install on my Win 7 machine to see if it will complete this time.

I was a bit disappointed to see that you hadn't come back with a job done post when I logged into the forum this morning, but I see you are still in preparatory mode.

FreeCat:
Hi Tom - I tried just brining that folder to a USB, but still system would not let that happen.  BTW, that driver folder is 6GB; is that not a little large for drivers?

Boggin:
I can't check my Win 7 ones at the moment but 6GB doesn't ring a bell from when I backed them up before - I forgot to do it on my Win 7 before starting the repair install, but I have a recent system image to restore with if things go awry.

How many drivers folders do you have and do you have any external devices connected to your machine at the moment ?

Boggin:
In one of the steps - Installing features and updates - it installs your devices so I think you should be okay.

Boggin:
I'm going to have to shove off now as I have a couple of bits and pieces to do before I start my evening meal but will be back later.

I've just had an error message on the Win 7 machine that there's insufficient space but I think that refers to the 400MB recovery partition.

I'll have to look into that later.
