cannot access my second hard drive
ATTN: Long Message :-) I was trying to be as detailed as possible.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello:
A few days ago my desktop was running Windows ME. I started having trouble
with the OS and felt it was time to upgrade to XP (my laptop has had XP for
about a year and I have grown to like it more than ME). I have a 80GIG Hard
Drive on my desktop along with a 20GIG Hard Drive which I use to back up
files. Before installing XP (Full Home version, not an upgrade) I moved all
of the files I wanted to back up to the second 20 GIG Drive. The install
went smooth, and before I knew it XP was up and running.
After setting up a few basic settings I went to My Computer to bring some of
the files over from the second drive, but to my suprise the second drive was
not being listed at all. After looking around for a few minutes I found that
the drive is listed under the device manager and Disk Management, but not
listed in My computer, so I had no way of accessing it. Under the disk
management I noticed that there was no letter assigned to the drive and I
was not able to assign one either. By right-clicking on the drive the only
option I had was to delete the partition. It listed the drive as Healthy
and Active, but would not let me assign a letter to it. I did a rescan and
a refresh but nothing came of it.
I even went as far as uninstalling xp, formatting again, and re-installing
ME to see if that would show it...and nothing was there.
When in DOS I would try every possible drive letter and nothing showed up.
What was odd though was in both XP and ME, the drive was listed under the
device manager. Also, when I used FDISK, it listed the drive with all of
the info.
I then formatted again, put in the WIN XP CD, and click "R" for repair. To
my shock (and happiness) I noticed that the drive was listed under F:
(though there was no sign of that in DOS or when in the OS, I had tried F: a
few times). It also listed all of my files, but gave me no way of accessing
them. So I re-installed XP thinking that maybe now the files would be
listed under F: But no such luck. Once again though it is listed under disk
management. So where do I go from here????
I APOLOGIZE FOR SUCH A LONG MESSAGE, BUT WANTED TO BE AS DETAILED AS
POSSIBLE. I had seen this question asked many times during my never ending
Google search to find an answer, but did not see any answers....hopefully
someone out there has had this problem and can let me (and others) no how to
fix it. It is very important that I get these files on my drive.
Thanks

ME Problems
In the last week, I have been experiencing multiple
problems with my Me machine. I keep getting frozen
screens, and usually can't even use CONT_ALT_DEL to bring

error! I'll reboot, and still get errors, once or twice
before I can use the thing for 10 minutes till the next
thing I do pisses it off for another blue screen. I was
starting to think that it was related to a new memory chip

has been experiencing the same symptoms, especially since

WINDOWS/SYSTEM/AdCache

located in my Winodws Millenium directory:

they are also dumped into the Recycle Basket. In other

Can anyone suggest a method of removing these files?

State Manager problem

no msconfig, no regedit
Hello,
I'm sending this now for the third time, as my message / request for help
showed nowhere up.
My friend's computer (PC) had no AV programs. After some problems he
installed an AV program and it found 6 viruses (worms, BackdoorHacker, etc.)
in total.
Before the AV program was loaded, one could not enter the 'msconfig'
utility, neither 'regedit', because the sub window containing 'msconfig' or
'regedit' respectively, remained open for 1 second only.
After the removal of all (hopefully) viruses, the behaviour of the two
utilities (system tools) remains the same.
Any idea/suggestions?
Thanks.

Shutdown? Nope, reboot!
Ok, now here's an interesting question for all you kind
souls out there!
After having all 4 versions of the Dyfica (sp?) virus get
together and beat the hell out of my poor Win. ME, we
needed a full reinstall of Windows to get it up and
running again. System Recovery didn't want to know!
Although the PC works now (or I wouldn't be typing
this... :o) ) when I go to Shut Down the PC, instead of it
coming up in the orange "It is now safe to turn off your
computer", it reboots the PC as though you just turned the
PC on!
No system conflicts as I can see from the devices inside,
so can anyone help me? Btw, I've also reformatted the HDD
twice tonight and it's still having no effect...! Tag: Digital pictures Tag: 215215

Lost restore points w/setting in AVG
Hi all - AVG 6.0
I am having a problem with losing all restore points, and my system crashing
after enabling a setting in AVG 6.0
In the E-mail section of the AVG there is a selection for OE 5 Plugin, and
when I select this when Windows is loaded, I have a problem with opening the
Delete Box. It just hangs, and I have to shut down using the power on/off
button.
Then, when I start up again, Windows will load but hangs at the desktop, and
when I try to shut down with ctrl-alt-del the system goes to the blue screen
and I have to shut down using the power on/off button.
I started the system up in Safe Mode, and tried to do a System Restore, but,
there were no restore points, not even the one I set yesterday afternoon,
and even though the disable restore was not checked. I was able to open the
AVG Control Center and uncheck the OE 5 Plugin and then reboot. The system
came up find and all is working ok now, but, still no restore points, even
though I have set a new one since the reboot, it is not there now.
I would truly appreciate it if someone could provide me with a website or KB
information that might address this problem so that I can perhaps have a
better idea of where and how to troubleshoot this problem, or find a
resolution.
Best regards,
Jan :) Tag: Digital pictures Tag: 215202

Update ME error!! OS lost afterwards!
2 weeks ago I updated the critical updates from microsoft
site (including IE updates). upon restart I got errors and
the IE kept hanging, so I went to Control Panel and
deleted
the new application downloads including the new IE. Upon
reboot this time the system said there were errors and was
going to reconfigure or something to a previous good
configuration. Now when I start my computer, the Windows
ME
screen comes on and looks like everything loads properly,
but I get to the windows interface and the blue background
comes up on the screen but nothing else is shown. When I
hit CTRL+ALT+DEL only one program is listed (unlike before
when I remember lots listed). I can't do anything else,
just a blue background on the screen and nothing else, and
the only function available is the keyboard shortcut for
CTRL+ALT+DEL. How can I recover from this disaster? Help
please!!
I also thought I could just upgrade to XP professional,
but
when I put the CD into the CD drive and turned on my

May Be OT Problem, But I'm Going To Try Anyway.
(I'm only posting this after a number of unsatisfactory emails from
NTI support; those kind of emails that treat users like idiots and
don't address the questions asked.)
I'm running Windows ME with NTI CD Maker Software. Since I began
using this burning software, it has been bullet proof. Over the past
year, they've had several updates, all of which have worked without
problems. And now, their latest update gives me this message after
install and won't run.
'The CDMkr32.exe is linked to missing export
SKINDIALOG.DLL:SetSkinIniFile.'
First, the file mentioned above is not 'missing'; it is in the folder
where it should be. NTI sent me another copy of the file, but this
didn't change anything. This file is also present (same version) in
all previous versions of NTI CD Maker.
I've even tried installing the software in C:, rather than the Program
Files Folder, but the second update doesn't give an option as to where
you want it installed and goes ahead and uninstalls the program in C:
and puts it in Program Files, so, that didn't work. I've gone through
several install cycles, including disabling all running programs.
My suspicion is that it is an NTI problem, (given how reluctant
software producers are to admit they have a problem) but if anyone
has an idea that the problem could reside in Windows, or my system,
I'm wide open for suggestions. Thanks for taking the time to read
this rather long post, but I would really appreciate any suggestions,
no matter how wild they may be. (I can run the program without the
update, but the problem is NTI has not been forthcoming as to the
reason for the update.) Tag: Digital pictures Tag: 215160
