    Hello.

    I am asking for help, because I wanted to rip the whole system - a backup of the Win10 system on a pendrive, because I have no disk space, and besides, I only have a C drive on which I can not save, because I can not see.

    When choosing a USB flash drive, I have a message that this is the wrong medium for saving data and I cannot go to the next step.

    How can you solve the problem?

    You only make a backup on a disk under the USB pocket, if it is a laptop and if you are a stationer, then mount the additional disk to the computer.

    ... and in the case of e.g. a tablet? :)

    It was Win8.1, but they did update on Win10.

    And you want to make a copy of the system, save it to the ONE DRIVE cloud or via a mini USB connector to a pocket with a 2.5 "disk

    Ok, I managed to do it by using a docking station, but the next problem, namely creating a disk to repair the system, or uploading an image ... I can't create it, because I am calling for a CD burner :)

    And so the boot disk must still be burned so that you can load copies of the system.

    ... and e.g. you can restore an image of an already created system on another, uploaded system in case of failure?
    - without creating this boot CD?

    Clone, but you must have the right program. To clone a disk into a 2nd disk.

    I got a topic with an external drive (DVD recorder), but as it is in my life ... I encountered such an error while creating the repair disk - Unable to create the system repair disk. The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057)

    I looked for information on the microsoft website ... and all in all I could not do / fix it. I even downloaded the Microsoft FIX program, which will not work either, because it shows that I need to check the internet connection (WiFi works approx.)

    Please help. I have updated the entire system.
    Anyone have any idea to solve this problem? :)
