"SMART Command Failed"

Apr 17, 2012

So the PC froze up on me today, was getting very random CPU spikes. So i rebooted it, upon reboot i saw as the Bios loaded up:"SMART command failed" on one of my Hard drives. It was my WD 1Tb (not a boot drive, just data).When i finally got to windows, i couldnt access the drive, it told me to format.So i rebooted once more, CHKDSK ran on the HDD. It found 4 unreadable file sectors. Still cant access the drive.Then i boot into my OSX installation (dual boot), and i can access the drive perfectly fine, all files in tact.So now im running CHKDSK e:/r and its taking a long while. Is there anything else i should do apart from backup?How can i get it to just delete the 4 bad sectors and mark them as bad sectors?

Can SSD Kill Other Drives - Hard Drive Failed SMART Error ?

Feb 4, 2012

I upgrade my pc with SSD everything seem to go fine but 2 of my 2TB drive giving me a Smart error now. i wonder if SSD has anything to do with Drives failing. My theory is that.

SSD runs on a flash based chip ... it is very stable but mean time it has huge access point of data that why it is fast. The reason i am thinking that SSD is killing my other drives is because my setup is a Media center. Software such as windows media center and media browser keep accessing my 2 TB Hitachi drive for movies, TV show and so on .. SSD in my opinion is running other drive to max point of spin and read/write in same time. which could caused these drive either over heat or over used that is just a theroy of mine

MY Setup : Media center pc with 4 2TB Hard drive Hitachi and 1 60GB SSD drive

Error Message: Smart error bad backup and replace

Dependency Service Or Group Failed To Start - Command Prompt

Aug 15, 2012

I'm having a pretty big problem on my laptop- I can't connect to the internet and when I try to connect in the network and sharing centre it simply says 'The dependency service or group failed to start' and I am unable to connect to the internet (Using wi-fi). There's a lot more to it than that though. Simply put, here is a list of the problems I am facing:

1. Can't connect to the Internet
2. Cannot change theme, stuck in basic (Themes are grey and do not respond when I click on them in the control panel)
3. Overall brightness of laptop screen has decreased.
4. When opening my anti-virus software (avast) it says that the software is off and I should click the fix now button to turn it on. However, when I click on it nothing happens.

Please note that this problem occurred when I was messing around with command prompt ( I booted windows 7, pressed F8 and tried to check weather I could launch a USB program through safe mode- command prompt). I figured out I had no idea what the commands were and tried using one of the few commands I knew- ms config. I may have changed settings there and this could be how it happened, I'm not really sure. I'm not very experienced with command prompt but have full knowledge of control panel options, computer, etc.

Command To Change The Path Using Environment Variable From Command Prompt?

Jun 9, 2012

In UNIX, for changing the directory path, there is "cd" command. .This works fine in windows 7 too.. But the problem comes when we are trying to change the path using environment variables. .

In UNIX, cd $JAVA_HOME changes the path to the value set for JAVA_HOME,

Similarly is there any command in Windows which does the trick from command prompt for changing path using Environment variables. .

Microsoft says that Smart Cards can be used in conjunction with Encypting File System (EFS) to keep the encryption key off the computer.

What are smart cards, and is that the only it can be done? Why not a regular SD card or flash drive?

Connecting To A Smart Phone

Oct 6, 2012

Received an iPhone 4 S. D/loaded iTunes (for 64bit) and installed. Connected phone via usb port.iTunes does not show phone icon; no connection or synchronisation can occur.I have spent ages looking on the Apple site (boy they are tricky over there!) and the trouble shooter offered didn't help.As far as I can tell it's a conflict problem possible with anti virus (MSE).What I don't know how to do is: -properly test the usb port (which works fine for remote mouse plug in, any temporary flash drives via a hub) and test for what is preventing the two from recognising one another.

Gemalto Smart Card

Nov 23, 2009

This isn't really a driver issue but more of a some help with local policy / permissions (I think).

I have just put a new Windows 7 PC on our domain and I am having a few troubles getting the Gemalto Smart card to work as a user. This card has the Gemplus esigner which lets us authenticate to connect back to our bank for secure banking.

Basically this PC is in a domain which locks the desktop and programs down so a user cannot access Programs etc. We then place an RDP icon in the start menu and they access their programs via RDP into a terminal server. Only a few programs are run locally on the PC.

When we install the Gemalto software on an XP machine we set permissions on the installation folder for everyone to have read / write access along with the registry key and this works fine an allows users to be able to use this on the local PC.

With Windows 7 I have tried this but I keep getting "Cannot fine the certificate store" error – however this works as administrator (local PC) which leads me to a permissions thing or a domain setting.

I can insert the smart card and manually import the certificate which reports successful yet the same error occurs.

Has anyone else has this issue or can anyone point me in the right direction?

Smart Card Reader Issues

Jan 31, 2009

This is the only major showstopper for me in using Seven 95%

ActivIdentity USB Reader V2

ActiveClient 6.1

Both work fine in Vista 64 on the same box in dual boot.

In Vista the driver used is the generic MS usbccid.sys driver version 6.0.6001.18000 dated 6/1/2006

In Seven there are 4 MS drivers all version 6.1.7000.0 dated 6/21/2006:

- scfilter.sys

- WUDFUsbccidDriver.dll

- winusb.sys

- WUDFRd.sys

In Device Manager status I get the "This device Cannot Start. (code 10)" message.

If I uninstall the device and plug it back in I can see that Windows sees an ActivCard USB reader V2 (shows up in "Other Devices" while drivers are trying to install) but the install fails for the Microsoft Usbccid smartcard Reader (WUDF). I have tried the latest drivers to no avail.
