Local hash folders or Original hash folders?

[shaneturner12]

Sounds good to me - I get email replies of thread updates anyway.

I' am in the process of reinstalling TS 12. My local hash folder is 210 GB my original hash folder 160 GB. Copying the TS 12 folder on a harddisk with USB 2.0 was an affair of 16 hours.
How do I import best the local and the original folder into my new installation of TS 12?

Your best bet is to import the Original folder first, then the Local folder.

For best results, copy both folders to the hard drive first.

O.k. I'll give it a try a little later, I gotta get some sleep it's 4:05 AM here. I'll let you know how it goes. And I'm running Windows XP SP3. Thanks Shane for your help. -Robert-:wave:

Hi Shane, well I did what you said and I found that a Windows i386 file is completely
missing. (It's the SP3 file) So I,m wondering if I could copy that file from my other computer and install on my main computer,or will that cause me more issues than it's worth. Or another option I have is remove the hard drive, and hook it up as a 'slave drive on other computer, so I can backup ALL my files on my external hard drive. What do you think I should do? -Robert-

P.S. I would rather do option 1, if I could, it sure will save me some work.

Robert,

I'm not sure you can copy that file because it will be in use by the other system. You could try though and see what happens. If anything try this in safe mode.

Shane should be coming online soon. It's about 6:00 in the UK and 1:00 here in the East Coast so I'm going to bed.

I am here now - ended up having a bit of a sleep in this morning.

Did you have any luck with the SFC command as detailed above? If not, you may be able to copy an i386 folder over from another XP SP3 system into the root C drive then use the relevant Expand command mentioned previously.

Nope. that one didn't work ether. I had this error saying that that it could not find the path, or the files were locked.

 

[shaneturner12]

On which command? SFC or expand?

With XP systems, if it is an OEM copy, pressing F8 before the system boots into Windows may give access to a 'Repair your Computer' option which will access a special diagnostic mode where the Expand command can be used.

Both of them Shane. just for the heck of it I transfered the sp3 file (copied) from my other computer to see if that would work, but it didn't there's still some files that I can transfer over, but there is a rick that it might bugger the computer up to whare I won't be able to boot it up. give me a few minuets, and I'll tell you what files are still missing.

 

[shaneturner12]

Sounds good to me - I can then advise on the best course of action.

I got this list off my other computer since the one that's messed up don't have these files. I don't think that I can use any of these because these files are for a Intel cpu computer, the other one is AMD Athlon Dou Core cpu computer.

By the looks of things, a windows reinstall is going to be needed, as at least two or three files in that list are critical for correct operation.
