O.T. eBay malware/virus?

I also did not find any Kapersky file in
Program Files or Program Files(X86).

Robert

This is getting very involved,.. you want me
to open up the 8500 just to do the same tests
for the 780 HD? What if it screws up the 8500
somehow?

I do not understand why S.M.A.R.T. isn't working
because as you said the HD is plugged directly
into SATA port.

If I do move it over I shouldn't have to change
the boot sequence since the 8500 HD is already
selected is that not correct?

I don't want to experiment on my computers with
programs that aren't supported and have no manual.

Robert

I'm thinking perhaps it would be best to
just clone the drive since it's the original
versus opening up the 8500 and putting it at
risk.

I would hate to have anything go wrong with
the 8500 but I seem to get hit with 'Murphys Law
every time I have a computer problem.

That's why I held off on making these suggestions.

Cloning keeps the procedure isolated to the 780.

It's not going to be there.

When you boot the Kaspersky CD, that is the
operating system while the test runs.

The data files (done during the definition updates)
are stored in "C:\Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10.0" .

The program does not run from "C:\Program Files"
area, because that would be for the subscription
version that runs when Windows 7 is running. I gather
you don't have a subscription, and are using the
Rescue CD for offline scanning.

The CD uses "C:\Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10.0" to store
data files. If you clean out and remove that folder,
that "resets" any corruption of data files. It's
probably not corruption, and is just as likely
to be a change in the program version at KAV
headquarters which causes a problem with
older versions of program. Normally, you would
design the definitions to continue to work with
older versions, so I don't understand such a
design decision.

When there are multiple OS disk drives in a
computer, Kaspersky selects just one of them
to hold "C:\Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10.0" and in
such cases, you have to search the disk(s)
until you find that directory, to figure out
where the "home base" is put.

When the normal operating system (Win7) is
running and not the KAV CD, that folder does
not affect operation of the machine. Neither
is there any AV effect coming from the folder.
The folder is dormant while Win7 is running,
and only useful to the CD when it is the
booted operating system and scanning program.

I was using the same CD-=RW disc that had the old
Kapersky10 on it but erased it and started to burn
until I stopped it. Now it's asking for DVD-R format.
I had one left so inserted that and I still get the
error.

What's going on ?

I don't think you're doing anything wrong.

https://www.thewindowsclub.com/burn-...party-software

So we need to find "error 0xC0AA0406" and see
what it hints at.

I think what is happening, is the built-in optical disc
burner is assuming you want some sort of multi-session
disc. 561MB+561MB of information, is more than the 700MB
disc can hold. Well, you never intended this to happen
in the first place.

You need to erase the CDRW so there is 0 bytes on it,
before burning the 561MB ISO again.

I'm assuming the IMAPI2 interface in Windows knows how
to convert the KRD.iso into a bootable CD.

I normally use Imgburn here, but the interface on it
is imposing. Even finding the erase command is a chore.
To erase, I pretend I want to burn an ISO first, and
use the upper-left tile as my option. When that is done,
there is then a menu on the right presented, and part way
down that menu is the Erase Disc option and that's how I
fix up media.

Then, I can go back and select any tile I want for
the next step. Now, in this case, I'd still be using
that upper-left tile to burn the ISO file to disc
anyway.

Imgburn tends to do single-session work, so there's
less chance of me ending up trying to write
561+561MB of files to a 700MB CD.

Your mission then, is to find an Erase Disc option, using
some software on your machine. I presume the Windows IMAPI2
software has such an option.

OK, with the disc in the optical drive, go to My Computer and
right-click the optical drive letter. See if there is
an "Erase this disc" at the bottom of the menu. Try that first,
then go back to your original operation and see if the
C0AA0406 doesn't show up this time.

I did erase the CD-RW because it gave
me a pop-up prior to running the download
that it had data on it (Kapersky 10) so
I clicked OK to erase it.

I went to the Program files because
I didn't find anything he

Robert

Apparently it was a bad CD,.. I put in a new CD-RW
and no problems:

http://i67.tinypic.com/25s9cue.jpg

However during the verification it opened the CD-tray
and not thinking I clicked close, thinking it was to close
the CD-tray but closed the program instead.

Here's what on the CD:

Should I re-do it?

Robert

Agreed,... I think it's time to clone
the 780 and put in a new fresh 2TB HD.

Then I'll pick up more spare HD's after
December.

I'll let you know how it goes,...

Robert

I started to Clone but instead of
saying Disk Image it says Backup


http://i67.tinypic.com/jsft6x.jpg

I opened Macrium on the 8500 and it
shows Disk Image but for some reason
the 780 shows Backup and there were
no updates.

I do "Verify" with Imgburn.

Have I given you details on this program before ?
Maybe you already have a copy of this.

https://i.postimg.cc/k4W1fsqq/imgburn-verify-disc.jpg

It can compare a burned CD against an ISO file.

HTH,

No, you haven't give this to me before but
I've saved it.

I ran Imageburn verify and although it didn't
have any read errors it had allot of Miscompare's.

So it seems I have to re-do this.

Robert

I forgot to give you the screenshots:

So how do I proceed to clone the 780
without Disk Image?
