I was hit by the hurricane when it was a category 1 hurricane and lost power for several days. During this time I had my computer off. When power finally came back on I turned on my computer, but even though I didn't lose power again the phase went up and down. When I tried to turn my computer on again I got a blue screen, and then I started getting an error message when it tried to load windows 2000.
View 2 RepliesI have a 250GB Western Digital hard drive with a ~195GB partition formatted as FAT32. The partition is called "Documents" and has the letter C: assigned to it. The rest of the hard drive isn't formatted. The operating system (WinXP) is installed on a different hard drive.Since yesterday in My Computer or Explorer it's called "Local Disk C:" and whenever I click on it I get a box that says "The disk in drive C is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?". For two hours it came back and I backed up all the most important information but then the same problem came back again. I was able to see the contents of the partition through a few applications but not access it. My whole computer is working sluggish since this happened.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy friend's computer seized up in the middle of the boot. Tried recovery, but it isn't able to go forward. The hard drive seemed to be spinning tho, so chances were good we could recover the data. I removed the hard drive and copied everything to a back-up external drive using my own computer. Replaced the hard drive in the disabled computer. Question is how do I install Windows XP? The recovery files on the hard drive are not accessible, I assume, so we can't use those - right? We misplaced the disks that came with the computer, so I'm buying a new copy of Windows XP.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have two laptops, a ThinkPad T30 and a Latitude C840 (they are both working with XP SP2, except the T30 doesn't have a screen). I'd like to move the T30's drive into the C840, but when I do this, the C840 will hang right after the BIOS screen (incl. the XP CD's Press a key to boot off the CD if I tell it to boot from the disc drive first). My first thought was to try Recovery Console from the XP CD. I can log into the install, and I've already tried fixmbring and fixbooting it. This doesn't help.
This leaves the option of the drivers not being right. I installed the C840 chipset drivers, nothing. I'd really rather not go on a wild goose chase trying to figure out what'll get things up and running

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I'm running Win XP Home SP2 (all up-to-date) on a 6 month old HP laptop. I just bought a new 250GB external USB IDE drive which I formatted to NTFS and just 1 partition. Now I want to partition the disk to 3 different partitions. I went into the Win XP Disk Management utility and when I right click on the external disk one of the options is Delete Partition. Is that the correct first step I need to take before creating the 3 partitions? Or is there some other way to create the 3 partitions? I want each of the 3 partitions to have their own drive letter.
Thanks,
Tom

I have Windows XP , total physical memory 2,058MB, available physical memory 1.26 gb. My hard drive is partitioned into Drive C, with 20GB capacity, 1.45 GB free space (7% ), and Drive D, with 213 GB capacity and 213 GB free space.
With only 7% free space in Drive C, I am restricted in doing some things such as defragmenting and using some programs. How do I take advantage of all this empty space on Drive D, which is just sitting there, to relieve the pressure on Drive C?
I'm currently in the process of selling my laptop. I wanted to nuke the while disk to make sure all my confidential information had gone, using DBAN, but I couldn't get it to create a disk, so instead I'm deleting the partitions on my computer, formatting them, then erasing them using Heidi's Eraser (35 passes).
I had two partitions: a C and D drive. I installed two OS's on the C drive, and I deleted the D partition, and created a new one which became F. i then erased F, so that anything that was on the previous D had been completely cleaned. I then put on a copy of XP on F. So, when I start up my computer, I use the OS which is logged on F. Can i delete the C partition now, which has two OS's on it, whilst I'm using the OS on F? I want to do that, create a new partition, and then erase it 35 passes.
My sony vaio computer ( C drive ) is getting slow and has only 3.67 GB free space left out of 13.76 GB. The D drive has 60.5 GB of unused space. Is there a way to transfer some of the data on the c drive to the d drive and still have it available?
View 12 Replies View Related40GB HD installed recently. Unfortunately, the installer took the simplest option of making the whole new drive a single partition, instead of two of 8GB and 32GB, identical to the other drive. The organisation is therefore now as follows:That's obviously more secure than before, but I'd like to go further. I want to use DriveImage 2002 to copy the OS to F, so that in an emergency we could boot up to that instead of C. But DI won't allow that. Even though C contains only a TOTAL of about 7GB, and F is 8GB,it says there is insufficient space. It's been a long time since I last used DI, and I'm nervous about how best to proceed at minimum risk. Can I achieve my aim by using the facilities under Disk Operations to 'Redistribute free space among partitions'?

When the system boots into the new drive R:, it still wants the boot partition c: for something. If I boot with the IDE disconnected, it'll boot to the login screen, and allow me to log in, but after a few minutes of a blank screen & cursor, it drops back to the login.
I have PartitionMagic 7.0, and used DriveMapper to change all references to C: to R:, but that didn't do it. How do I cut my system's dependence on the failing drive, before it fails altogether?
