EMachines Netbook 250-1162 HDD Failing?
Aug 10, 2012
A friend gave me a netbook the one in title and I believe the sata hdd is failing, I just need some reassurance. The computer is just majorly slow, done some researching on the board and found out if the drive fails to spin up so many times it will put it in POI-I mode or something like and cause the data transfer to be extremely slow. When the computer FINALLY does turn on takes an hour sometimes no joke nothing will load. Acts like its frozen, after a while of letting it sit and do its thing I can slowly start opening stuff and it starts to speed up. I've defragged, ran chkdsk, and startup repair and everything I could think of and no luck. Is the drive failing ?

my netbook won't start. It happened when I accidentally plugged out w/o the battery on it. When I tried powering it on, It went to black screen with options:
safe mode safe mode with networking safe mode with command prompt last known good configuration start windows normally
We already higlighted all the options but it just kept on restarting all over again.

I am, at this point, completely baffled how I can even interact with my computer. And frankly whether this should be in this part of the forum.The problem is with this machine. . My understanding of the situation is that I google'd "Winrar", and carelessly downloaded a malware-ridden version of the software from a fake site.

a friend of mine bought an Emachines laptop from sweden aguess, and the HDD failed, so I had to install a new OS to a new HDD... but now the Network controller just wont install... and on Emachines homepage the version G730G is not even shown.I have tried many different ways of installing, even disabled UAC, safe mode, thru command promt and still not installing. On device manager it just shows under "other devices" as "network controller" with a yellow sign on it probably its for wifi, cause it doesn't work currently also I took it apart yesterday before installing new windows... cleaned and changed thermal paste. could it be that I might have broken WIFI wire or its not connected properly? (It's a pain in the butt to take this apart and put it back together)

before i gutted it out and put all new stuff in, my computer was once an eMachines C6415. it has a built in card reader that 7 identifies, but just as a generic card reader. there are windows xp drivers for it that will give them certain icons and specify what kind of slot they are, but i can't find any for 7. they work and all, but i want them to show up in my computer with all the correct information (instead of the generic icon that just says "removable drive"). i can't find any 7 drivers for it. any help?

Trying to install on an Emachines laptop. I get the following error:
Specs: 1.6ghz AMD Athlon XP-M, 512mb RAM, Integrated Graphics Card.
Also, I know for a FACT that the DVD works and is perfectly fine. I've used it on other machines before.

I have an emachine that my uncle, used for a while and reset the admin password. He recently passed away so now I do not know how to get into the system. He had an administrator account. But I don't know the password. I've tried all I can think of, but doesn't work... Also i've tried to login in safe mode.. but the accounts screen comes up and there is only one account (My uncle's.. which is also the main admin account)... and there's a link under that says "reset password". Is there any free solution that I can use or do I have to go show to a technician or re-install?

I currently use an emachines el1360g desktop. Full specs here:
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit pre-installed w/CoA
AMD Fusion Dual-Core E-300 1.3 GHz "Zacate" (40 nm) processor
2 x 512 KB L2 cache
AMD A45 Fusion chipset
2 GB DDR3 RAM (8 GB maximum)
250 GB SATA hard drive
DVD�RW SuperMulti drive
Integrated AMD Radeon HD6310 graphics
Integrated audio
Integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN
Multi-in-one digital media card reader
I bought this off someone who had purchased a week prior,but sold it cheap to pay rent-I live in a college type area and this happens now and again. Everything was in great condition and all I added was a new litescribe dvd burner. Since the first time I started it up, it has run incredibly slow. While I am aware its processor is nothing fantastic, it had specs loads better than my old desktop yet runs much slower. My main use is simple web browsing and word processing, using mainly chrome and ms office. Any more than 4 tabs open on chrome with no other programs up and it starts to crawl. If I have multiple programs open,say chrome with office, it goes even slower, I've run the diagnostics windows includes and everything looks fine but yet it still goes incredibly slow. I ran the repair disk to no effect, and my next step was to reinstall 7, or drop down to either vista or xp.
EDIT: Also ran several malware/virus scans using malwarebytes, avst, norton, etc. All scans came back clean

When going to device manager it states that it is installes and working properly. When clicking device update it states that I have the latest update. However, I don't have any software to access it. Search doesn't provide any results.
I have windows 7 32 bit. The webcam doesn't have any buttons to it.

I tried to reload the original factory format using f8/alt (due to virus). When it rebooted it went to "emachines recovery maintenance" window and inside the window said "please wait a moment". I went back several hours later and it still had the same message. I then purchased the reformat software from emachines website. I put the system disk software in the dvd drive and rebooted the system, hit f12 on the splash screen and it still gives me the same window and message. Is my hard drive fried or is there something else I can do to correct?

Win 7 Home Prem SP1, 64 bit, 8 gb ram. Only using the screensavers that come with Windows, no matter which one I select at varying times it will fail. I can normally reboot and it works again for a time or switch to a new selection where it will work for 2-3 weeks again. I can't find any information on others experiencing the same issue and have been using numerous virus/spyware apps to find anything. MS Security Essentials, Avast, Stinger, Housecall, SuperAntiSpyware and only find tracking cookies.I know it would help if I could get the exact error message and will update when I do get a chance to write it down.

I found my laptop hdd had several bad sectors. Lacking the cash to just buy new i did a full format to get them flagged as unusable. After that took 17hours i installed windows 7 ultimate x64. When it needed to do the necessary restart it failed on the bios screen (the mobo logo intel for example). I tried gettin in the bios to change boot order and cant. However take the hdd out and i can boot from cd or access bios options etc. hdd back n boom fails still. However the processor is still working hard.

I have tried 3 times backing up my system to an external HD I have. Each time, it gives me an error saying it failed. I also see an error code: 0x81000015The strange thing is I have backed up to this HD previously with no problems and now it's not working.The HD has a capacity of 500 GB and currently has 225 GB free. I have cleared out all the backup related information off it and try again and it fails as it gets towards the end of the backup process

I recently built my new rig (specs in profile). Now last night, I was running Prime95 to get an idea of my stock temps, and Core 3 failed (expected x, returned y). Fearing the worst, I reran it, and it again failed, but on a different core. Just to eliminate any RAM issues, I did a couple of passes with Memtest, and seems to be alright there.
