    Troubleshooting a server hang

    Have recently taken over management of a server that hangs every few days. It is a hard hang in that no keyboard or mouse interaction enacts a response, even as the server appears to still be running (fan noise, power LED, etc). Now, I've just started looking into it and here's what has caught...

    Copy files easily

    If I understand the original post correctly, you are effectively trying to merge two folders. Is that right? You can do this with two xcopy commands, avoiding prompting. The first simply copies the 1st folder to a new folder and the second copies the 2nd folder over the first, replacing any...

    WinXP Pro SP3 ntbackup issues

    [link technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx]Process Explorer[/url] is different to [link technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx]Process Monitor[/url] though also quite useful in its own right.

    WinXP Pro SP3 ntbackup issues

    Thanks for your post, goombawaho! You do some great work here and I appreciate your response. In spite of limited access to the machine at hand, I performed all the steps you laid out. I thank you for the reminder about SFC. Always a good thing to try. And MalwareByte is my new favorite...

    WinXP Pro SP3 ntbackup issues

    I'm here because the thread I attempted to attach as a URL to this post provided the most information of near a hundred links I investigated to determine the problem at hand and it was recent. As per that thread, at least to begin with, ntbackup.exe fails whether run from the GUI or the command...
