I don't want pagefile.sys, just using it to explain that XCOPY didn't work. I don't use images because they add an extra complication, one more thing to go wrong, with the backup process. During restore, I have had images fail on me twice, making my backups useless garbage. I'm not going to...

Unfortunately, neither of those ideas worked. Windows Backup can only create images. XCOPY crapped out as soon as it saw pagefile.sys ("sharing violation"), it also crapped out when I tried to exclude pagefile.sys ("/EXCLUDE: PAGEFILE.SYS Can't read file: PAGEFILE.SYS."). I can't accept...

Unfortunately, I've already tried all of this, it just wont go into safe mode. Maybe HP has changed the key sequence for accessing safe mode? In the event that I have to restore the OS (Win 8.1) is there a way to do that without erasing files? I don't want to have to reinstall everything and...

I'm getting desperate here. I ALWAYS keep Windows Update turned off (I do not want to debate here whether that's good or bad, it's not the issue). Windows 8.1 tried to run it anyway on reboot. I tried getting into safe mood to shut off Windows Update, pressed F4 at the right time, safe boot...

DandalfThe authorities cannot win. This will only stop when the hackers decide it should. Uh huh... I think it might also stop when the hackers are all in prison getting raped up the ass in the showers.
