Partition C - Formatting With Pro / Floppy Doesn't Work

Jan 12, 2009

My Sata HD has 7 partitions. I am trying to format only C: & do a clean install of XP, without loosing all the staff in the other partitions. I did it a few times before, but this time booting in my win98 floppy does not work. Tried 2-3 floppies. My "Paragon Partition Manager 8.0 Personal" cannot do it as is working within windows. Tried various ways to get to the DOS prompt A: & use "fdisk or format" without success. My Full XP CD can only format the whole HD.

My hard disk arrangement is C(primary partition FAT32)for Windows XP

I am formatting F: and then C: through XP installation CD
(and C->NTFS from FAT32)
is this ok???
will D: be accessible after installing XP on C???

Doesn't Read Floppy Drive

Apr 27, 2005

I just did a clean install of Windows XP Pro with SP2. Everything seems to work fine but i wanted to make a bootup disk with a floppy. I inserted a new one into A: drive which is the floppy drive but the 'Insert Disk' window keeps popping up. I tried to format the disks but it's as though it doesn't recognize the disks. I checked the drivers and it says there's no conflicts. I used to have Win 2000 Pro and it recognized my floppy without any problems. Could the problem be my BIOS or WIN XP?

Doesn't Reboot - Safemode Doesn't Work

Jan 15, 2008

Was never able to restart after that. Normal boot shows the windows initial screen, but eventually just restarts, safe mode does the same thing whether it's with network, command line or plain safe mode. Last known good configuration does the same.Needed to use a file so decided to remove the HD and re-install to another PC. I did have access to the file in question but now I'd like to fix the problem.
The other system uses AVG. I started a scan and it detected Cekar.d (A0003977.exe, wdfmgr.exe and initially ntldr.exe), Dropper.Inor (ntdetect.hta, A0003979.hta), PSW.Generic5.ABVW (ctfmona.exe), PSW.OnlineGames.AAFI (ctfmonb.exe), PSW.Generic5.AFYK (ctfmond.exe), PSW.OnlineGames.ZWT (LotusHlp.exe) and some others but for whatever reason the scan stopped. I restarted it and now the AV still finds most of the threats it was seeing before but not Cekar.d. in the ntldr.exe file.

Converting FAT32 To NTFS Without Formatting The Drive/partition?

Aug 9, 2005

With W98/W95B you could easily use a tool to convert FAT16 to FAT32 from within windows and not lose the data (most of the time anyhow) that was on that drive/partition.Is there any tool to convert FAT32 to NTFS without wiping (formatting) the drive/partition? I haven't been able to locate any tools to do this with and so far have been moving/copying the data I want to save on a partition to another partition and then right clicking the partition I want to convert and choosing FORMAT to NTFS instead.

Disabling The Floppy Drive To Work At Every Boot-up?

Aug 19, 2005

I keep noticing that my floppy drive would activate when I'd go to log onto the computer or turn it off. I disabled the A drive and since then things are kind of going the way it was when I first bought this computer. I did manage to check the areas that were mentioned before. I found nothing that came close to what was mentioned to look for.Did I manage to contain this thing in the floppy? I still want it off of my computer.

Definitive SEARCH In Doesn't Work

Aug 26, 2005

Going to START/Search button then adding parameters to close up search such as choosing "Case Sensitive" DOES NOT WORK. When I pressed Go for the search, all kinds of files popped up in the search such as Realization.doc, Capitalization.xls, anything that had the letters liz in it when I had typed in the "File and Folder" box Liz (Capital L lowercase iz) and then a space after the z. I have files named Liz(space).this and Liz(space). that, and that's what I was searching for. But files still appeared that had lowercase liz in the middle of a word like Capitalization. So what's the point of having a Case Sensitive box to check, when it doesn't work! Am I doing something wrong here?

Bunch Of Stuff Doesn't Work

May 19, 2009

Alright, my in laws are having a problem with their computer and they said that last weekend Windows XP (SP3) asked to reactivate so they did without a hitch. I've never had a computer ask to do that unless I changed some hardware (which they did not) but maybe it's just never happened to me! So last week (a couple of days after the reactivation) they said weird things started happening. For instance if you go to the start menu to active windows, it comes up with a blank screen, the Windows search function comes up with a green screen and the little dog but that's it, IE doesn't load unless you type in an address and I couldn't get any web page to load that uses Active X. I ran the Kaspersky online test with no problems found and I couldn't run the antivirus from Eset because it requires Active X. Windows media player also doesn't load, it just brings up a blank screen. My father in law was able to defrag the computer though. I didn't have much time to really play with it so I'm not 100% sure what else isn't working but I know Firefox, Utorrent and VLC work fine. Has anyone had a similar problem or know where I should start to fix this?

Run Regedit Doesn't Work Anymore At X64

Oct 25, 2008

some hours ago, I tried to run regedit as usual by using "Start | Run", but it said:regedit.exe - Unable To Locate ComponentThis application has failed to start because clb.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.
I checked my running processes as well as restarted the PC. clb.dll was located at SysWOW64 (being a 32-bit dll, obviously) but not at System32 (where only 64-bit-files are stored), copying it to System32 didn't change anything.After a while of searching the inet in vain I realized I hadn't tried to start regedit.exe or regedt32.exe in SysWOW64 (but regedt32.exe in System32, which gives the error), and surprisingly, it worked. Still the problem remains: I can't start it using "Run" anymore (which worked since 18.05.2005), and I didn't change anything big but uninstalled WindowBlinds (a windows skinning software which worked quite well for many months). Could WindowBlinds be the reason, and if so, how? Moreover, will I experience further problems?(msconfig still works normally and can be started by "Run"; often, this isn't possible when encountering the regedit clb.dll error).

Keyboard Doesn't Work After Booting

Jul 13, 2010

A friend of mine has been given a computer without a keyboard. It works fine except WinXP doesn't find a keyboard when a normal PS/2 keyboard is connected. The keyboard is working fine when running DOS or BIOS setup. I tried reinstalling WinXP but the keyboard doesn't work after booting the XP cdrom.Now the computer says "Restarting XP installation" after booting from the hdd. But it doesn't complete the installation without an usable keyboard.

Entering Explorer In Run Box Doesn't Work

May 22, 2006

I have the option to 'open explorer window' in winzip checked so it opens an explorer window of the destination I unzip files to. Recently I noticed that stopped working. Then explorer crashed causing my start menu to disapear so I used ctrl-alt-dlt to open task manager and entered 'explorer' in the run box and clicked ok. Nothing happened. explorer did not reopen.I then figured out if I entered 'c:windowsexplorer.exe' in the run box explorer would then open.I'm guessing both these problems are related as it seems winzip is unable to to open explorer.Does anyone know how to fix this? I just recently scanned for virus' with 2 seperate scanners & and scanned for spyware with 2 separate programs and im clean & i only surf with firefox. So its not virus or spyware.

Second Hard Drive Doesn't Work

Oct 28, 2007

So, I have the same problem few seems to have here, my 2nd HDD doesn't show up. The problem came when I formated my main HDD and installed XP on it. After that I can't get the 2nd HDD working.First of all, it shows on BIOS, its connected with cables (tried several, thought if the cables were broken), shows on control panel, on system. But I can't see any drives, not a single one. It has worked correctly for over 5 years, which 4 of them has been with the main HDD and XP, the same thing I have now.The 2nd HDD is Samsung SV4002H, I have few pics to clear the problem.

MS Automatic Update To SP2 Doesn't Work

Apr 3, 2005

My OpticPro 9636T scanner parallel port scanner initially would not work under Windows XP Pro. Plustek does not support XP on this model. I finally found a driver from Germany. When installed with right mouse clicks, it installed in English, and worked perfectly. Since the MS automatic update to SP2, it no longer works, and the driver from Germany won't install.Does anyone know of a driver that will work?

IE / Firefox Doesn't Work Correctly

Oct 8, 2009

I have a very specific issue here with user wallpapers. I have about 20 remote offices or so that are set up with a company wallpaper and we are using BGInfo so they can easily tell us the info we need to support them. Many computers are on sales floors and we need to keep them from changing the wallpaper for obvious reasons. I have tried the solutions of using a Group Policy, changing the registry keys, denying permission to registry keys, etc . . .

All of these solutions either have the problem that the user can still right click an image and set it as the background (IE, Firefox, Paint, Image Viewer), or it does not let BGInfo work correctly. I have spent a couple days searching forums everywhere and cannot find a a solution yet.

I tried running a virus scan but it catch anything so I have no idea what I can do. I've tried system restore but that didn't fix it.

PC Damage With Water - Monitor Doesn't Work

Dec 27, 2005

My daughter 'flooded' the basement yesterday. We quickly unplugged her computer and found a slight amount of water on the bottom of her tower. Now, her computer seems to start up ok but there is no picture on the monitor. None of the wires got wet, but there is a small opening on the bottom where the case closes. Is it possible that so little water damaged her computer? It's only the monitor that doesn't work. We hooked up an old one as well, no luck.
