Hello.
I am writing from France (though in English, hopefully).
I recently had to reinstall my laptop (Dell Inspiron). Before that, I had lots
of problems with backing up data onto USB keys, as the system required up to
thirty
minutes to copy some 600 favorites. It was just as slow when it came to erasing
files from the same.
After my hard disk failed I reinstalled the whole thing--accessing Vista's SP1
at last. Unfortunately, with the machine being updated and all, I am still
experiencing just the same problems with USB ports.
I asked on French forums, but no-one seems to encounter the same issue.
Therefore, I have two sets of questions:
- 1. are there really very few people who are faced with hyper-slow USB?
- 2. would anybody know why some of us have to face this?
- 3. when Vista first came out, my Windows Mails was desperately slow, until
someone sent me a reg file (found on some American forum) which, though nobody
seemed to quite know why and how, made Windows Mail a usable program at last;
would there be such a "patch" to speed up the USB?

If I can't use USB ports, then I'd like to use DVDs, but I am still looking for
a good program, one that can erase a file from the DVD after noticing it was
from the hard disk.
- 4. would anynone know of such a program?
I am using Nero on another machine with XP SP3, but it seems to malfunction:
each time I back up a directory onto a dedicated DVD, I find that the program
uses up more and more space, though the backed up files are listed only once, so
that after a few times the DVD is full with just the same files, although said
files are of course not 4,7Gb big; then I have to erase the DVD and do it all
over again.
- 5. would anyone know why Nero does that, and how I could change it? I can't
seem to find any parameters that I could alter.

....Well, thanks for reading, thanks in advance for helping if you can.
PS If you think of any other forum where I could ask, kindly let me know.

Imgburn will do what you are looking for and it's free ~ 'The Official
ImgBurn Website' (http://www.imgburn.com)

Sounds like you may have multisession enabled....not a good idea.
Again Imgburn should fit the bill.

I downloaded it; I'll check it does what I need.

Under "contrôleurs de bus USB" (I hope you can make it out), here is what I can
see:

Concentrateur USB générique (listed twice)
Concentrateur USB racine (listed five times)
Intel (R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB Universal Host Controller - 27C8
Intel (R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB Universal Host Controller - 27C9
Intel (R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB Universal Host Controller - 27CA

Intel (R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 27CC
Périphérique de stockage de masse USB

I see that "USB*2*" appears only once.
I bought that Dell laptop from Dell last year: it *has* to be USB 2.0!

From there, I can't see whether these are 1.0 or 2.0; where should I look,
please?

I just did, and the answer always is that the pilote is up-to-date.
Thanks again, thanks in advance if you can think of anything else.

So I tried it, but I'm afraid it didn't go right.
Look, this is what I am looking for...
Say, I have this directory:
C:\PRIVATE\
which contains the following:
FILE1.DOC
FILE2.DOC
FILE3.DOC
I opened Burning Studio, saved C:\PRIVATE\*.* onto a DVD, and saved the project
as MyPrivate.ashprj.
Now, after that, I altered the contents of C:\PRIVATE\ on my hard disk by
deleting FILE2.DOC.
Then I launched MyPrivate.ashprj, fed the proper DVD into the machine and chose
and went Next; the program obviously reads the contents of the DVD and then
displays the list of files on the DVD, but when I go Next, it demands that I
"add at least one file or folder to the list". What I want it do is check the
contents of the DVD against the same directories on the hard disk, notice that
the latter now missed FILE2.DOC, and so understand that it must erase that same
file from the DVD.
Which it does not. At all.
Am I doing it wrong, do you think?
Thanks again/in advance!

Thanks. I tried it too, but I can't understand why the program wants to erase
the disc each time I put it into the machine (not to mention the fact that when
I put the DVD in and launch the program, it doesn't recognise the DVD as having
been used the time before and sees nothing on it, just says the disc needs
erasing before being used).

PS: For some reason the program has now become aware that FILE2.DOC has
disppeared from the directory in the hard disk, so when I launch the short-cut
for MyPrivate.ashprj it warns me and asks what to do; then it warns me that all
data on the DVD will be erased--but it has not noticed that C:\PRIVATE\ now
contains a new file, FILE4.DOC, which it misses completely. Far from what what I
expected it to do...

Imgburn doesn't support multisession, that is why it wants to erase your
RW if it's not blank.

That simple?
Well, thanks for helping me on that, I won't waste anymore time on that
software.
Thanks again!
