i was trying to set up the back up on my computer and i keep getting a error message. it says the request is no supported (ox80070032) what does that mean. i currently run win7 ultimate.

Did you ensure the backup destination capacity/space is more than enough?

yea i did i was backing it up onto my external hdd

Hi, Please let me know what backup settings are configured? Back up files or the image of the computer? This could happens if the Windows Event Log and the Task Scheduler services are disabled. Try the following steps to fix the problem. 1. Click Start -> Services.msc in the search box -> Press {ENTER} 2. Double-click Windows Event Log 3. In the Start type list box, ensure that Automatic is selected 4. Click Start to start the service, if it's not already running 5. Repeat to start the Task Scheduler service. 6. Close the Services console and restart the computer to check the result.

Hi, The Task Scheduler service depends on Remote Procedure Call (RPC), DCOM Server Process Launcher and RPC Endpoint Mapper services to start. Please use the same way to check these three services. If any one doesn't exist, go to the download the registries from the following link and import the corresponding one. After that, go to start the Task Scheduler again.

Have you try swapping the external drive onto another usb port? Alternatively backup on a cd/dvd, internal drive or on a network

i imported the one that wasnt there but the task scheduler still wont start and it keeps saying remote computer not found nothing has changed.

Hi, Based on the current situation, the most efficient way is performing the in-place upgrade. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2255099 http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html Note: Since the website is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice.
