OT: Test / fix MFT corrupted hard drive
Last year, I "suffered" a MFT corrupted boot drive (c:) failure. Now,
I am working on recovering may data and checking the drive this past
month. I have connected the old IDE drive into a USB 2.0 drive
enclosure and succesffully recover several files. Now I am trying to
check the drive's "health" statsu (without any success yet.) The
drive is a Maxtor (now Seagate) 120GB EIDE drive but most of the
Maxtor tools can not seem to be chek it out.
Where could find how to check it out or how can I check it out? Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329522
EHD not given Drive letter but shows in Disk Management
My Maxtor EHD Personal Storage 3200 is not given a drive letter and I can't
access it, though it is shown as Disk 1 in Drive Management. (right clicking
to allocate a drive letter not an option, it's not there).
It worked finer a couple of weeks ago on an XP machine in England (I'm in
France). Then I got a new Vistas PC and it wouldn't work with that, but
would still work with the XP Pro machine. Now I'm here it doesn't work in
either a desktop or laptop both running XP Home edition.
I started to run Seagates File Recovery programme. After 24 hours it had
only scanned 20%. It's unlikely to go for 5 days without needing booting as
I need it for work.
Disk Management is showing Disk 1 unknown 279.47 Gb Not initialised.
Unallocated.
How can I get to my data.? Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329519
Retrieving Documents and Settings data when XP/NTFS denies access.
A Western Digital SATA (system)drive suddenly failed SMART and I replaced
it and re-installed everything. Chkdsk attempts to fix it but always gets
stuck at a certain point.
When attached as another internal drive or hooked up via USB I can see and
managed to retrieve everything else I needed on the drive. However, my
(admin) account, within Documents and Settings, is reported as not
accessible - access denied.
I have a lot of pictures etc on there and was hoping there was some way I
can bypass this and retrieve them.
I've tried everything I can think of and believe it's a Windows XP / NTFS
thing. Can I convert it to FAT and then get these files?
Any help greatly appreciated,

HP Pavilion 524w's hang ups/lock ups.
=A0
Will be much indebted if a good techie/soul could give me useful
insights as to these endless hang ups/lock ups from my HP Pavilion
524w ... because I just can't function; PC is my CentCom.=A0 Believe or
not, have been putting up with this crap for nearly three (3) months
now.=A0 Argh!=A0
=A0
=A0
SYMPTOMS=A0
=BB The first sign of future hang ups --though these may still be hours
ahead-- is that after each boot up, the mouse pointer is jerky the
very first time one moves it.=A0 It jumps anywhere from 1/4" to 2" or so
from its initial position (from wherever it landed after boot up) to
whatever direction I'm pointing it to.=A0 Note it only does this one
time initially at the beginning of the session until the next boot
up.=A0 From then onwards during any given session, the mouse is as
smooth as expected at all times.=A0 This behavior occurs regardless of
the mouse used, either a Microsoft PS3 or a Microsoft wireless USB.=A0
=BB Freezings occur when using any software that needs to scan.=A0 The
worst are antivirus online scanning but lock ups also ocurr when
copying large files say, above, 50 MBs.=A0
=BB Just as successful in freezing the machine is any software that
gets in the registry, such as various either online or installed
cleaning utilities.=A0 Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool sure
does it, for example.=A0
=BB Anything that uses ActiveX and/or web-rize bloated sites with Flash
this, Schockwave that, etc., like Huffington Post or eBay, for
example, can easily cause lock ups.=A0
=BB When lock ups get bad enough, sometimes there are checksum errors
on boot up in which case the default BIOS configuration is reloaded.=A0
=BB After repeated and increasing crashes, the behavior of disk
scanning when rebooting changes even in this semi-DOS environment.=A0
This is when running disk scanning from Start -> Run -> chkdsk c: /f
-- the bootup drive on the primary master, and chkdsk e: /f --a
logical drive on the same HD.=A0 First one gets the standard full 10
seconds to escape if one wants, then suddenly it starts giving me only
5 sec., then ... no option to escape no matter how much the [Esc] key
is tapped on.=A0 The text allowing the user to escape is dropped
altogether, gone, and repeatedly pressing the [Esc] key doesn't abort
it.=A0
=BB After repeated and increasing crashes, another example of changes
of behaviors is the sequencing of these check disks pass the BIOS
screen and about the time Windows itself begins to load.=A0
=BB The only way out from these hang ups is to turn the machine off,
patiently wait for a minute, then restart it.=A0 After repeated and
increasing crashes, another example of changing processes is that the
machine restarting by itself, anywhere from a couple to 10 secs, to 30
to 40 secs later than powering it off.=A0 When it happens repeatedly,
the only way to stop it from restarting all alone is power it off
after the lock up, then quickly unplug the power cord from the surge
protector.=A0 My new power supply doesn't have an on/off button.=A0
=BB For short periods of time, PROBLEMS SEEM NON-EXISTENT (i.e.,
machine seemingly works regularly, even flies) after re-installing XP
Pro, which I have done twice already.=A0 Soon enough, anywhere from 5
hrs to as much as 30 hrs later, freezings begin to ocurr and, from
that point onwards, things get worse at an increasing rate.=A0 It is not
only the frequency of lock ups, but also how bad the machine
crashes.=A0
=BB ONE THING MAYBE POINTING TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM IS FOOLING
AROUND WITH THE MEMORY MODULES though, by now, don't think it's got
anything to do w/ the modules themselves.=A0 About 3 1/2 yrs ago
replaced the original 256 MB single module with 2 x 1 GB modules, also
PC2100 ... and this puppy took off, literally, right there and then.=A0
Modules worked fine ever since.=A0
=BB THE LAST OTHER THING MAYBE ... is fresh Win XP reinstalls.=A0 See
also possible solutions below.=A0
=BB But the one telling bitty, every time around, is that jerky mouse
only at the beginning of each session until, in time, hang ups begin
all over again.=A0
=A0 =A0
BIT OF HARDWARE BACKGROUND=A0
=BB For reference, about a couple of months problems started,
successfully changed the power supply from the original paltry 200
watts to some 350 W, may a tad more, and the heatsink/fan cooler
assembly.=A0
=BB Moreover, when the lock ups first began, the original 57 GB Samsung
SV0602H hard disk drive was only reading and writing at half its specs
but, even then, appreciated HP putting in there.=A0 It would simply not
quit, allowing more than enough time to research and get a
replacement. Equally importantly, it also allowed me to save all my
data intact on a logical drive on my current HD, a 115 GB Maxtor
6L120P0.=A0
Is it possible that not replacing it right away could have caused
these lock ups (or spoiled something at a very low level or upstream,
if you will)?=A0 Because the state of the old hard disk was so bad, at
the time I blamed it all to the drive.=A0 It never occurred to me that,
simultaneously, the lock ups were due to something else.=A0
=A0 =A0
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS?/Other already tried ...=A0
The following 2 bullet points should narrow down whereabouts the
problem is but I'm unable to pin it down myself since I'm no techie;=A0
=BB First, whenever re-installing Win XP anew, things go very smoothly
for a a while.=A0
=BB Second, fooling around with the memory modules is another that
seems to take good care of things.=A0 For a while, PC can't run any
better.=A0 From about 2 1/2 months ago trying to narrow down these hang
ups, lately I pulled out the modules and then put them back in place.=A0
Also tried swapping them around, or taking of one or another and
leaving the other memory bank empty.=A0 Just to make sure these two (2)
1 GB PC2100 were not the problem, replaced them both with the one
original HP 256 MB module.=A0 Every time I fooled around with the
memory, the machine behaved as if there no problems at all, again even
flies, but only holds anywhere from 5 hrs to as much as 30 hrs.=A0 All
three (3) modules passed Microsoft's Windows Memory Diagnostic test
tool with flying colors.=A0 In the off the wall case problesh have
anything to do with memory timming specs differences, this week
changed to a new pair of 1 GB PC 3200 Samsung modules.=A0
OTHER SOFTWARE;=A0
=BB Already tried Microsoft's Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset.=A0
Problem is it relies on dump files it needs for analysis ... but my
system hasn't got any!=A0 This is, when the machine hang ups, it just
hangs up, right there and then.=A0 Have yet to see a single blue screen
of death.=A0 Wish that was on the way down so, maybe, there'd be dump
archives around.=A0
=BB Independently, Dr. Watson informs me all is swimmingly well
whenever I run it.=A0
=A0
Machine was working fine indeed with old software when the lock ups
began.=A0 Still, in the search for solutions updated some HP and VIA
software as follows (not being all inclusive here; there's a lot more
I have done);=A0
=BB The old BIOS was Phoenix Technologies version AM37307 but was
replaced with the package from HP and now is the AM37320 (08-01-23)
Phoenix Technologies.=A0 When booting up it reads BIOS core revision
V6.0, BIOS revision 3.20 08/01/2003, system BIOS supplier: Award.=A0
The update no difference at all, not an iota, as to the freezings and
was sorry to run it because functionality to end users is even more
constrained than the old one.=A0 For example, cannot turn off the video
shadowing.=A0
=BB Installed and run a couple of times the IDE Tool
VIA_IDE_MPD_V320b.zip found at;=A0
http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=3D420&OSID=3D1&CatID=3D1180&SubC=

leading to actual download page at;=A0
http://www.whitebunny.net/download?file=3Dmbd_via_ide_3.20b.zip=A0
Not sure why they call it the VIA IDE Miniport Driver but in any event
this IDE Tool allowed me to run the primary and secondary drives on
the max PIO modes my hardware allows.=A0 When doing so, the drives would
be listed as SCSI in the Device Manager.=A0 Other than running
perceptibly slower, it made no difference again so, presently, I'm
back on the max DMA modes my drives are capable of.=A0 By the way, the
front side bus jumper on the motherboard is properly placed at FSB
133.=A0
=BB Installed the Retro Chipset VIA 4in1 drivers VIA_4in1_443v.zip
package found at;=A0
http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=3D420&OSID=3D1&CatID=3D1070=A0
Turns out that "retro" bit on the title is no mis-name.=A0 Drivers were
older than a good many already in my system!=A0 I guess it served to
prove that none of the newer drives I happen to have in my system --
via Microsoft updates beginning with XP SP2, I suppose-- were causing
the hang ups because ... they continued unabated.=A0 Aargh!=A0 Same
package can also be downloaded at;=A0

leading to actual download page at;=A0

the version recommended for my PC.=A0 There is also a newer version
named mbd_via_4in1_4.55vp1.zip=A0
=BB Though my old Iomega ZIP 250 drive (still there for legacy
compatibility) has been disconnected for a good many months given all
these problems, I installed the VIA Latency Patch
mbd_via_ide_3.20b.zip listed at;=A0
http://www.whitebunny.net/hardware/chipset_via.html=A0
leading to actual download page at;=A0
http://www.whitebunny.net/download?file=3Dmbd_via_ide_3.20b.zip=A0
You know the drill by now.=A0 Made no difference ...=A0

http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=3D420&OSID=3D1&CatID=3D1070=A0

smoothly but, all previous, ...=A0 Grrr!, short of voodoo, don't know

CD intermitent on new XP Pro install
I posted a similar question several weeks ago but at that time it appeared
that the issue was a faulty system disk. I have replaced the drive and
reinstalled XP again for the umpteenth time and the issue is back. Details
follow:
I have a LiteOn CD writter (IDE 1, master) and a Memorex DVD writter (IDE 1,
slave) on the computer. Both drives worked properly before I started having
system disk issues. Both drives also show up as working properly in the
device manager and I've "uninstalled" the LiteOn and let windows reinstall it
using the MS drivers. Prior to the uninstall/reinstall it worked one or two
times reading a CD for use in installing a program. I've run CDCHECK on both
drives and gotten back an error 21 (not ready) for both. I suspected NIS 2008
might be an issue but I get the same results in safe mode.
Any thoughts on how to get either drive working would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Monotor won't display 16:9 (only 4:3)
I have the following Video card ATI Technologies Inc. 3D RAGE IIC AGP
and a BlueH H19W (16:9) monitor.
The monitor only displays as a 4:3. There are black vertical lines to
the left and right of the screen.
The driver I have installed is a Microsoft 5.1.2535.0 for the video
card, and the driver that came with the monitor.
I cannot locate a driver for the video card on any web site to see if
that rectifies the problem. I don't know if it would.
Note I can only manage to set the screen resolution to a maximum of
1024 by 768. Anything higher and I get a message saying input signal
out of range Don't know if this is relevant.
Can you provide me with assistance.
Thanks in advance. Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329488
FLASH DRIVE FREEZES MY PC
I just bought a flash drive for my WinXP SP2 Home edition. As soon as I
inserted it, my computer froze and locked up. I've tried it in all my
additional USB ports and it remains the same. Even if I insert it prior to
boot up, Windows stops and freezes. My webcam works fine and the memory stick
light comes on, but the `New Hardware Detected' indicator doesn't even show.
I don't have anything else taking up USB ports other than my webcam. I've
tried it in other computers, not my own, and it worked fine.
This seems to be a mystery, which nobody seems to have an answer for?????

PLEASE Help. HARDDRIVE GONE.
Hey everyone -- trying not to panic here.
I have windows XP. I have 2 harddrives -- the C drive, which is the
original drive that came with my computer, and the F drive, a 250 gig
internal drive I installed a while back.
I turned on my computer today and the F drive is gone. It's not
showing up in explorer, in disk manager, and any files I try to find
on it are gone.
This drive had everything on it...I have no clue why it's not showing
up. I restarted my computer 3 times. I don't know what else to do.
Thank you so much.

"USB Device Not Recognized" in USB2 ports but is recognized on USB1
I bought a new USB2 PCI card and am having some problems using it.
I've plugged it in alright and I'm able to successfully plug in a USB
optical mouse into each external USB port on the PCI card and it works
in each and every one of them. Same thing with a 128MB USB stick.
Both of these also work in the USB1 ports I have on the front of the
computer.
The problem I'm experiencing occurs when I try to plug a USB HDD
enclosure into the USB2 ports. It works just fine in the USB1 ones
(the computer reacts much as it would when a USB stick is inserted
into it). When I plug it into the USB2 ports, I get the following
error:
----------------------------
USB Device Not Recognized
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned,
and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this
problem, click this message.
I click on it and get a useless "Try reconnecting the device. If
Windows still does not recognize it, replace the device."
----------------------------
My question is... why?
Why would something be recognized by USB1 ports but not by USB2 ports
added by a PCI card?
I'm running Windows XP SP2. Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329452
Graphics Card problem
I've just bought and installed a new graphics card (XFX GeForce 5200). I
got it from Dell, so it's a 'good' card (not a dodgy second-hand one !). I
recognise it's not the 'best and latest' card available, but it is new and
it should work (someone on here told me to dump it and just get a newer
card - but you don't need a Ferrari necessarily to get from A to B !). I'm
running XP SP2, plenty of RAM etc, no other problems.
I want to attach a second monitor to my PC - an new flat panel LCD TV screen
which says it can be used as a PC monitor. The TV monitor is in a room
next to my office - I want to run a cable from my PC to the TV monitor so I
can watch DVDs, and other stuff I've downloaded in that room. I therefore
need to be able to run both monitors AT THE SAME TIME in 'clone' mode. I
found out that many graphics cards have two ports (DVI and VGA) but will
only support one or the other, not both at once. My new card claims it will
support two together. I've connected everything, downloaded latest driver
from website, set up 'clone' mode etc.
Problem - the TV monitor shows all the startup screens exactly as on my PC
monitor when I'm booting up, but as soon as Windows startup is finished I
just get 'no signal'. I've tried changing screen resolutions - no joy.
I've sent emails off to XFX and to LG (the TV manufacturer) but I guess I
won't get a reply till next week because of Easter. I've spent 3 days so
far fiddling with it - driving me nuts.........can any of you clever guys
suggest anything please ? Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329447

Printers keep going offline for no reason
All 4 of the printers in our offline on the network keep going offline.
Sometimes if we delete all items in the queue and recycle the power they
come back online. It is a completely random occurrence, I have checked the
network cables, I can ping the printers, but sometimes they bring themselves
back online, other times they don't! They are all different brands or
models but it happens to any of them. Three are over five years old and
never had this problem until recently.
What else can I check? Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329424
Anyone got any ideas how to troubleshoot a STOP 0x1000007e code
I am getting daily (sometimes 2 or 3 times daily) random reboots on my
system and it is getting really frustrating.
I used DUMPCHK.EXE to expand the minidump file produced but can't work out
how to stop the problem. I have reproduced the output below.
The things I have tried so far are:
* Looked up the STOP code on MSKB and there are two entries both related to
resuming from hibernation. I do not use hibernation so that can't be the
problem.
* The output below suggests that the sound system may be involved in the
problem as KMIXER, DRMKAUD, SPLITTER and DMUSIC are all part of the MS
Kernel for the audio system. I have uninstalled all my audio drivers and
reinstalled from scratch - they are Audigy ZS2 Platinum Pro drivers. I also
have a Hauppauge TV tuner installed which has audio drivers. Finally I have
SoundTaxi which converts ausdio files (but uses some driver technology to do
its job).
* Unlocker is part of a utility that allows files in use to be unlocked when
required (it is a user action so no automated unlocking of files). I have
uninstalled this and left it off my system for a while but it didn't make
any difference so I have now reinstalled it as i find it very useful.
* I have uninstalled and reinstalled all my motherboard and graphics card
drivers.
* I have removed a second USB disc drive (mentioned in another thread) and
that has removed the probelms with drive page errors appearing in my system
logs.
* I have run stress tests on my system which worked flawlessly for hours at
a time (I used nVidia's system stability test and while it was running I
used 4 different AV packages to play DVDs, Video and multiple audio files,
surfed the internet, scanned, printed images etc)
* I have run DOS based utilites to test memory and other onboard hardwear -
no problems were shown up.
Note apart from the SaveDump entry and other entires during recovery from
the STOP condition there are no other errors appearing my system logs. All
my hardware/software seems to work normally and 95% of the time I can do
anything I want with the system without problems.
Any help would be really appreciated
TIA

Wireless Keyboard Mouse Combo not recognized when booting up
Hi,
I thought plug-n-play meant just that, but I am having some issues.
I have Windows XP Pro, Office 2003 and I have a Compaq computer but it has
some updated hardware I have added so it's only partly Compaq today LOL
I had installed a Sabrent PCI USB 2.0 card and a hub. I got this new MS
Natural Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard/Mouse 7000 combo. I installed the drivers
the first time and the keyboard showed up in Keyboard and mouse showed up in
Mouse in the Device Manager. But anytime I reboot or start up the computer it
says to connect a kekyboard and restart.
Today I decided maybe it was something wrong with my OS so I reinstalled
windows on the C: Drive. This time when I reinstalled the Wireless drivers I
noticed it also placed something in the HID list.
I have been reading different sites and understand I might have to change
something in the BIOS, but I have no clue how to get there and what to change
and what to change it to. I do not understand why I even have to go to the
BIOS if this is supposed to be plug-n-play. But alas, maybe this is what I
have to do?
I went to F10 thinking this was it, but I guess not? Do I need to go to F1
when I start up? And what exactly am I looking for/setting in there?
The only way I can start/restart is by having the PS2 kb and mouse on here
unfortunately which totally defeats the reason for getting the wireless combo.
I am exhausted, I have been spending countless hours on this project for a
week inbetween everything else! I was on Tech Rep. but they only said my USB
was pulling too much power and not able to run the combo but after MUCH
work-INCL. reinstalling Win and all the updates and programs...I know this is
BS.
I just hope someone can be straight forward and help me navigate and change
things rather than talking circles or telling me totally wrong
information...I am worn out! lol
Thanks in advance :-) Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329407

new (or old) cd drive doesn't recoginize cd's
I tried to install a replacement cd burner (Liteon LH-20A1P) in my older AMD
Athlon XP 1700+ computer. The installation and auto driver install seemed to
go OK, but it would not recoginize a cd (audio ar data) when it is put in.
If the cd was already in the drive when the computer is re-booted it seems to
read or play just fine. When that cd is ejected and another put in it won't
see it without another shutdown/restart. I re-installed the original drive
and now it has the same problem. I tried: deleting and re-loading drivers;
attaching both drives at the same time (switching between master and slave);
put new drive in another computer(seemed to work OK); went back to a couple
of older system "restore" dates. The "Liteon" tech support dropped me like a
hot potato when the drive worked in another computer. Now I'm looking for
help/suggestions. Thanks, tomc Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329373
Hard drive error
What signifies this SCANDISK messge ?
(in Phase 1, I think, no later than Phase 2)
"Windows was unable to complete the task"
This is on a Dell-built WinXP(2SP) PC, running
as slow as molasses -- that did not get up to normal
speed when I removed several boot loads, e.g.
Norton and Dell Help Systems -- so I cleared off
junk files with a view to defragging. Then SCANDISK
would not complete.
DOS CHKDSK /F reports
1. Fixed 2 corrupt attribute records.
2. Cannot continue in read-only mode.
What does this mean? Is the OS stuck in what
Win98 would have called DOS compatibility mode?
I should be grateful for advice for
1. diagnosis
2. cure.

One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned
I just purchased a Magellan 4250 GPS, when I connected it to my
systems I get a "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has
malfunctioned" or something like that. I get this on my Avertec 2370
laptop both when I connect it to one of the USB port on the laptop and
to a powered USB hub. I then went downstairs to my Dell Precision 390
and connect it to the USB port (actually to both) and get the same
error. Both system are running XP Pro. I assumed that I had a
defective GPS. Took it to work where I have a HP Kayak running Windows
2000 where I have installed a USB 2.0 / Firewire PCI card (since
computer only had USB 1.1 support). Plugged the GPS into one of the
USB ports, came up like a champ.
Now I am confused, what should be my next step. I could always do my
custom POI update here at work, It is just unsettling to have two very
diverse systems (ok, they have same OS) have the same error. Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329366

How hard to run BOINC?
Are there any guidelines about how hard a CPU can be run and for how
long and/or how to tell if a CPU is overheating?
The other day, I downloaded BOINC to run on an old laptop that I
mostly use for testing shareware. It's an HP Omnibook 6000.
BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) is the
software that allows various compute-intensive projects such as SETI
(Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence) to ships small pieces of
the computations out to PCs around the world to sop up their idle
cycles. (Probably everyone already knew that.)
BOINC allows me to set various parameters that control how much of my
PCs resources it will use. One parameter controls the percentage of
the processor. I can set it from 10% to 100% in 10% increments.
It looks like BOINC achieves the throttling back by starting and
stopping the calculations. The Task Manager Performence graph is kinda
fun to watch. Each little grid on the graph appears to be about 5
seconds wide. BOINC completes about two cycles each grid.
I have done a little testing at various settings.
At 100%, the fan comes on tight away and runs continuously. The bottom
of the laptop gets fairly hot to the touch -- not so hot that I can't
stand it, but close.
At 90% & 80%, the fan comes on and runs continuously, but the laptop
doesn't feel quire as hot.
At 70%, the fan is on almost all the time. It occasionally shuts off
for a few seconds. I just tested it and it did not shut off at all for
10 minutes.
At 60%, the fan is on about 90% of the time.
At 50%, the fan is on about 65% of the time and the laptop is cooler
to the touch.
At 40%, the fan is on about 30% of the time.
At 30%, the fan comes on occasionally for a few seconds.
At 20% and 10%, the fan never comes on.
Is it safe to run BOINC continuously (24/7) at 100%? If not, what is
the highest level that can I run it continuously without damaging the
processor?
Would it be better to measure the actual processor temperature? If so,
what is the best way to do that? My hand is not a reliable
thermometer. Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329348
Hard Drive does not get an assigned letter????
I have noticed that this question has been asked a few times, but I can't
find a solution that works. I had two hard drives in my computer that
functioned properly before my master drive (C:) became corrupted and I needed
to format and reinstall the OS (Win XP Home). I saved everything I needed to
my slave drive (D:).
I have since reinstalled everything onto my master drive (with the slave
still installed, this may have been a no-no) and now 'My Computer', or
'Explorer' will not recognize the drive nor assign it a drive letter. Disk
Manager sees the drive just fine but will not allow me to change the drive
letter (change drive letter is grayed out). Device manager also recognizes
the drive and both utilities say everything is fine.
Now........originally the master drive had Norton Go Back running, and it
probably left some traces of itself on the secondary drive. Problem is I
cannot remove anything from the secondary drive now because I can't see it.
I did not uninstall Go Back before I formatted the master drive because I did
not realize that it was a problem and I have not reinstalled Go Back on my
reformatted master drive. The main drive is a Maxtor PATA 40GB drive and the
slave drive is a Western Digital PATA 40GB drive
Are there any solutions I haven't seen?? Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329332

The strange thing is that this event (and two similar ones) were generated
overnight while the drive was not used at all. It was plugged in and
switched on and there was an Explorer window open on the root folder but the
disc was not being used for any reading or writing at all.
Neither drive have a windows page file - so it must be ordinaryaccess to the
drives causing the warnings to pop up.
I have looked at the MSKB article relating to this warning and have even
taken the time to decode the error blocks (establishing that both drives
generate the warning for read and write actions a number of times a day, the
situation is resolved with a retry - only one retry seems to be required).
The block above (first byte Ox04) is about writing to the disk - why would
Windows be writing to a disk when none of the files on the disk were in
use - and certainly not for writing?
Could this be to do with the drives automatically going in to powersaving
mode and taking a while to wake up when a request is sent?
Any suggestions gratefully recieved as these warnings are really irritating.
Thanks

and thus cannot use any cd/dvd. I used the fix for cd drive when cd burning
is removed as I had recently uninstalled Itunes and although this worked for
2 days it has now disappeared again and the fix is no longer working when i
try it again. Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329311
Right-clicking several songs to play, freezes system
Whe I right-click one song to play it takes about six seconds to start Player
11. On more selected songs right-clicking takes much longer to show dropdown
menu to the point where the command just freezes the system.
But, selecting many songs with the mouse and then pressing ENTER on keyboard
opens Player and plays them right away.
Tried different mice, re-installed drivers but no change. HELP!!!!

Create unallocated space
Hi,
I've reformatted my system and all is fine.
After installing XP Home, applications and drivers I installed Xpress
Recovery 2 from the gigabyte chipset disk. I then tried to back-up my
system using XR2 which notified me of insufficient HD space.
I've since learnt that I must have appx 4gb of unallocated space to use XR2.
How can I release 4gb from my system HD to unallocated space or should have
this been done when creating my C: partition.

Help Needed for CD Burner
Hi all. I'm running into problems with my CD-RW.
Here's my specs:
Athlon 900 MHZ
512M Ram
Voodoo3 2k
Sound Blaster Live!Value
FIC mobo
IBM 20 gig HDD (Primary C:)
Maxtor 2gig HDD (Slave D:)
Sony CD-ROM (Primary Secondary E:)
Samsung SW-408B v.BS02 (F:)
Windows XP Home SP2
I know it's an old system but it's all I got.
The problem I'm having is with the Samsung. Everytime I try to burn a disc
in the middle of writing it reboots the system. Also in the middle of
xfering files from the Samsung to the hard drive it reboots. I don't think
the CD-RW is faulty because I recently reformatted and put Windows 98 (using
EZ CD Creator 4) and it works flawlessly.
Is there a way (updated driver perhaps?) that I can fix this? I really don't
want to use Win98 as it's very flaky for me.
Would appreciate any help anyone can provide as I've been trying to find a
solution to this problem for awhile now! Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329297
Need updated driver for CD drive...
Hope this is the right place for help with this problem.
I have a Dell 620 Latitude laptop. It came with Vista Ultimate. Several
work related programs weren't Vista compatible so I pulled the original hard
drive with the Vista install intact and I replaced it with a new hard drive
on to which I installed WinXP Pro.
Recently I've been trying to get Magic Jack to work with the laptop. If I
plug the Vista hard drive back in MJ works fine. With the WinXP
install...no joy. The MJ adapter won't talk nicely to any of the USB ports.
In doing some research I read a post that mentioned the MJ adapter uses the
same driver as the CD/RW drive. I plugged the Vista hard drive back in and
sure enough, with MJ mounted the driver is the very same as the driver for
the Sony DWQ-58A DVD-CD drive.
In my WinXP installation the driver for the CD drive is dated mid 2001. I'm
trying to find an updated version but have so far struck out. Can anyone
point me in the right direction?

What hardware do I need for this network?
Hi,
First of all, if you think this post belongs in another group then please
let me know, I really need help with this!
We will have 10 XP Home PCs and a network printer at work. Currently, we
just have a 6 port switch where 5 PCs connect to one that acts as the gateway
for the internet and the printer. The broadband is BT Business ADSL.
What I want to do is have a wireless router so our 2 laptops can connect as
well. Am I right to assume that if I buy an ADSL Wireless 4 port Router, I
can connect 3 PCs directly to the router and the other port can be connected
to the 6 port switch?
I am a bit of a novice when it comes to switches and routers. If you can
recommend a plan then that would be fantastic. We want to keep costs down as
well which is why we are sticking with XP Home and not getting a server.
Thanks for your attention and any advice you can give me.
Kindest regards,
David Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329271
Laptop won't boot.
I have a Tiny N18 laptop that won't boot from the hard drive. The bios
messages appear, drive light flickers then black screen and NO activity. The
bios recognizes the drive OK.
I can boot from CD and I've run chkdsk on the drive and it appears to be OK,
also run fixboot and fixmbr with no difference. I then did repair using XP CD
reinstalling windows with no joy.
Booted using Ultimate Boot CD for Windows and everything works fine. Checked
drive and no viruses. It just refuses to boot. Anyone any ideas ?

Re: Windows XP error message - "System halted due to hardware fai
We have a server with RAID configured in it and is running a XP
Professional version which is
installed in a separate hard drive. The problem which we face now is that
once in 3-4 days its
giving a single line blue screen error message as
System halted due to hardware failure.
and the entire system gets struck. We check out the event log of the OS ,
but there is no clue
from the Operating System. Is it related to RAM failure or some other
hardware failure. In MS
support doc also they don't have mentioned anything regarding this error
message.
If anyone can put some light over this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Some configuration note:
1. The server is running normal applications only.
Hardware Details
1. Intel Entry Server board SE 7230 NH1E
2. Intel Pentium D pro processor
3. 4 Transcend 1 GB DDR2 RAM
4. Seagate Baraccude 80 GB HDD (which holds the OS).
5. MSI Graphic card
6. 3ware RAID controller card.
7. 4 Hitachi Deskstar SATA 500 GB (for RAID array).
I can provide more details if needed. Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329268
card fan failure
On boot, I get this warning, and am prompted to hit F1 or F2.
But...the fan has not failed, nor is it blocked or running slowly.
The graphics card fan is after market and runs great also.
I don't see any control for this in BIOS
Dell XPS 400, XP Media Center SP2, original card fan.
Suggestions would be very appreciated! Tag: Unknown device Tag: 329248
