| 574559 | 2007-07-31 10:17:00 | I've recently just cloned my old seagate drive onto a new one using the Seagate Disc Wizard, everything seemed to go perfectly except now when I try to disconnect any hardware attached via usb using the Safely Remove Hardware tool I get this error message: An exception occurred while trying to run "shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll" Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? Thanks as always. (P.S. System is Win XP SP2 up to date) M. |

| 574561 | 2007-07-31 10:42:00 | Looks like you have to do a repair install of XP (www.wilderssecurity.com) Yeah I found that page too... I tried the windows repair last night, but after the repair, I could not update windows, it would not install any of the 77 updates I downloaded after the repair. So after spending the night trying to fix it, I finally gave up and re cloned the original drive hoping to fix the original problem. Thanks for the suggestion... Any other ideas....? Cheers. M. |

| 574562 | 2007-07-31 10:52:00 | Dont use that program, for cloning? Or send Seagate an email. Is this the 102 mb file that Acronis did?? If it is I would send them an email. |

| 574563 | 2007-07-31 11:51:00 | You will probably need to reinstall windows update, at least (you can find it on microsoft's site, the installer may need to be run with the '/WUFORCE' switch) I've used seagate disc wizard before, didn't like it, it was bad at copying all the files. Norton ghost on the other hand... never had a problem with that |

| 574564 | 2007-07-31 23:24:00 | I prefer Ghost too, however I have recently found when copying a HDD Win Update gets somehow screwed over. Really don't understand it, but heres the fix for it :D Reboot in safe mode. Delete the following files, all in c c:\windows\system32 wuapi.dll wuauclt1.exe wuauclt.exe wuaucpl.cpl wuaueng1.dll wuaueng.dll wuauserv.dll wucltui.dll wupdmgr.exe wups.dll wups2.dll wuweb.dll Also while still in safe mode delete c:\windows\software distrubution and c:\windows\windowsupdate.log and .txt Then reboot, do another repair -reinstall and the Windows Updates should work! |

| 574565 | 2007-07-31 23:36:00 | The easiest way is just download download.windowsupdate.com and run it with /wuforce switch. |

| 574566 | 2007-08-01 09:14:00 | The easiest way is just download download.windowsupdate.com and run it with /wuforce switch. I did a repair install of windows on the cloned drive and then ran the updater with the /wuforce switch. It has worked like a charm! I just wanted to say thanks for the help and suggestions! The Pressf1 Forum wins again.... Cheers. M. |
