txs Ricky, i did all of it until i reached:

Windows could not start the Background Intelligent Transfer service on the
local computer. For more information review the system event log. If this is
a non-Microsoft service contact the service vendor and refer to
service-specific error code -2147024894. (0x80070002)
If you receive this error message, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

....

i was stuck there, the black window appears, then disappears and it seems i
can't write anything.
