How do I format my HDD to Advanced Format/512E to use 512K blocks with Windows Backup?

I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. When running Windows Backup onto an external 4TB Touro HDD (2TB partition), I receive the error:
The last backup did not complete successfully. One of the backup files could not be created. Details: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.
Error code: 0x8078002A
The cause was given on a forum as:
"The "root cause" is that Windows 7 (and its system tools) does not support a 4K native block size. As a workaround the disk can be formatted with "Advanced Format"/512E to use 512K blocks."
It was suggested I try WD Quick Formatter, but this only works with WD HDDs.
How do I format my HDD to "Advanced Format"/512E to use 512K blocks, so I can use Windows Backup with it?

  • How do I delete unwanted documents in Pages? I am using Toshiba laptop with Windows 7, 32 bit

    I have deleted unwanted documents rom my ipad 2 but cannot delete them from Pages on my Laptop.

    No. This is what the Pages User Guide, downloadable from Apple, says:
    +You can create a new Pages document by importing a document created in another application, such as Microsoft Office 2007 or AppleWorks. Pages can import the following file formats: plain text (.txt), Rich Text Format (.rtf and .rtfd), AppleWorks 6 word processing (.cwk), and Microsoft Word (.doc).+
    What is .wpd by the way?? A new format of some kind?

    A senior citizen needs some help.
    Thanks

    Saving each image as different size - is it an option for you?  I would save images with their name as: 20x30.png, 16x20.png etc etc.
    Or explain whether you want these in a webpage  in which case only one image is necessary and different sizes are displayed with good CSS code.  this is question for Dreamweaver forum if this is what you want.

  • How do I take data from a query sample record and query another block with it?

    I have a master/detail form (6i) that contains a master block (staff), and a detail block (phone). I would like to be able
    to query by phone number, but when I execute the query, I would like a 'search results' box to pop up that contains the
    phone number I queried for, as well as some other staff info. There might be multiple records that match my query,
    and I'd like them all to be listed (or list 10 or so, with a scrollbar). I'd like a push button next to each record that will take
    me back to the master/detail window with that record displayed. So, I created a third block that is based on a joined
    view of the staff and phone tables. It is a multi-record block, with 10 recs displayed and a scrollbar. It is in a separate
    window. I don't want the user to have to navigate to that block, however, to perform their query. I would like them to be
    able to enter the query in the phone number block, then somehow grab the phone number they've entered and use it to
    query my 'search' block. This is the part I'm having trouble with. Can someone please help? THANKS!

    Where do I put that line of code? I see that it goes at the Script part near the top, but how can I use that, I am pretty new to this language. I am not familiar with this line, where does it bind the value from the datagrid to the variable?
    fullXML[myDataGrid.selectedIndex].FIELD_NAME;
    myDataGrid would be the id from the grid I am guessing?
    and selected index would be the channel.description part?
    and FIELD_NAME; is the variable name?
    does this go into a funtion or is it placed at the top where the variables are declared?

  • How can I copy bookmarks from my old computer to my new computer, both with Windows XP Pro?

    Transferring bookmarks from old computer to new computer, both with Windows XP Pro?
    Thanks for your h4elp.
    Also, can I create a file of bookmarks in MS Word or Open Office so that I can save them?

    You can export your bookmarks to an HTML file on your old computer, and them import that file on your new computer. The HTML file also is your backup, and if you open it into Word, you could save it as a DOC file if you prefer.
    For more information, check out these articles:

  • I am a new Mac user.  How do I easily move files to new locations and folders in Finder, like I was used to doing with Windows Explorer?

    I am a new Mac user, converting from the Windows world.  How do I easily transfer files from one folder location to another in Finder, like I was used to doing in Windows Explorer?

    You can expand Finder into multi-panes, I am not at my Mac right now to get the exact key strokes so don't want to mislead you.  Do so many things on auto-pilot that when someone asks I need the machine so I can get the exact things to click on.
    But you can get the multi-pane view and drag and drop from pane to pane.
