Many thx illutian and adamf I created a system image successfully and then took the plunge and have updated to 8.1 Pro with Media Center via the Store. It took quite a while but so far so good and my applications and files are fully accessible. I'll let it settle down for a day and then create...

Thx for suggestion, but unless I can resolve the 204 error first, it will be perpetuated in any system image I might create. Pedro

My 12 month old Win 8 64 bit self-build pc has been very stable and as yet, no BSODs. I want to update /upgrade to Win 8.1 (I have also acquired the ISO) and have managed to execute a File History to my Samsung USB3 1TB ext HDD as a safeguard in preparation. I would prefer to update via the...

That's not quite correct. In both Windows burn and Power2Go burn, the laptop 'saw' the blank DVDs, and asked me whether to be a re-writable or mastered finish. In both cases, the files wrote to the media and it was only in the final stages of verification that I got the 'burn failed' message...

Burn to DVD failure. I d/l win 8.1iso and burnt to DVD on my win 8 desktop with no problem. On my wife's Samsung win 8 laptop I also d/l win 8.1 iso ok but burn to DVD failed twice, firstly with windows burn and secondly with PowertoGo. For the latter I got an error code 0xeb020ba0 which could...

Thx Alpha...... Great bunch of v helpful chaps on this forum. Pedro

Thanks Alpha..... Just to be sure, is that per Mosharino's first post again rather than going direct to the 8.1 install? Thx again, Pedro

Thanks Mosharino, I downloaded and copied the ISO to a USB drive successfully. Probably rather a simplistic question but I'd also like a bootable DVD. Can I just burn the USB files to a DVD to achieve this? Thanks in advance Pedro

Many thanks norepli I've installed PDF Exchange Viewer. It works a treat and interfaces with my Canon 990 100pct - so kudos to you. HBHB, my MP990 functions all work properly and I do have the latest W8 drivers. I think it is that the Reader App has gone flaky and I shan't use it anymore...

I have a Canon MP990 All-in-One which has been working perfectly from when I installed the Canon drivers on my new home build W8 64bitpc a few weeks ago. This included successfully printing pdf files via the W8 Reader App. I set up the MP990 to always show a print preview before printing. All...

Hi Keith, yes the 500R is indeed rather different to my 400R. Just wondering if it would be possible for you to take close up photos of your front panel lead ends and email them to Corsair as evidence of your problem. Pedro

Hi brkkab123 I recently built a new system into a Corsair Carbide 400R case. Agreed the instructions are non-existent, but I got it together OK, managing to connect all the front panel leads as well and, from my recollection, they were all marked appropriately (as otherwise, I wouldn't have had...

Just fyi, my sister has an Acer laptop on which the optical drive was not working nor appearing in Windows Explorer or Disk Management. Took it to local pc shop which, after assessing drive itself was ok, fixed it with adjustments to the Registry. All well now. Working fine. Pedro

Hi Brink, Rather puzzled. I changed the SATA leads over at the HDD end (shouldn't matter which end should it?) and when I booted it up, nothing had changed. My 1Tb C:\ drive was still disk#1 and the 250 Gb D:\ drive was disk#0. Everything works and boots up ok so I think I'll leave as is...

Many thanks, Brink, What stellar service! Pedro

I recently installed win 8 on new clean 1Tb hdd but forgot to firstly disconnect the second 250Gb hdd disk #0, so the OS ended up on disk #1. I then disconnected the 250Gb drive and reinstalled Win 8 on the 1Tb drive. I then checked Disk Management and found, as I thought, that the 1Tb drive was...

Many thanks Robinb9 and Brink Regards Pedro

Hi Robinb9, Thanks for your reply but sorry to say it's my first venture into Scheduling a task. I get so far but am stuck on the Start a Program Window in the Create a Basic Task Wizard pictured in the attached Word file and the insertion below. I haven't a clue how to complete the...

Hi Robinb9 "Yo set WD to scan lets say Monday at 2 pm weekly", I've removed N360 because of Win 8's WD conflict and have installed MBAM Pro to complement WD. I can see the point of WD and MBAM scanning at different times to avoid clashing; however, unlike MBAM Pro, I can't see any option in...

Thx Brink; I've made Reader the default but will keep Adobe Reader on until it has a printing option. Although my Canon printer shows under PC Settings\Devices it seems I should assume it will only show under the Devices charm for Apps which support printing (such as Reader). Thx for your help...
