When I was reconnecting my hard drive, I mistakenly put the jumper in the wrong position and limited the HD capacity to ~30 gigs, so a lot of files went missing and some programs malfunctioned. Then when I figured this out and put it back in the right position, the system wouldn't boot up because"ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupted".

A client w/a laptop tried to boot his PC and got the error that the ntoskrnl.exe was missing. Is this a candidate for repair install or is it possible to copy the file from CD back to its original folder?
View 4 Replies View RelatedLast night I connected a friend's HDD to my PC so he could back-up some files onto my PC before he formatted his.He did that,and then insisted that he needed to format it ASAP,so he did so using my cables.So I turn my PC on later I find that most of the contents of my desktop are missing,and that several Apps are as well.I look in C:Documents and Settings and notice a new profile called "TEMP" alongside my normal profile with many of My Documents and personal settings for apps. For some reason, my PC loads up this TEMP profile only now, as opposed to my normal one.

Now my audio does not work.I tried reinstalling drivers,but I'm not 100% sure I got the right ones.Under Sounds and Audio Deives everything is grayed out.In the device manager all the "Sound and VIdeo Game Controllers" appear to be OK....however under Other Devices all options have a yellow ? next to them. I think it has something to do with this....especially the Multimedia Audio Controller one.

I did not format it while installing windows as it has lots of stuff in it. There's over 50GB free and i�ve been removing a lot of stuff from the hard drive to make up some space but in windows i get an error message that i don't have enough disk space, the disk cleanup utility runs cant free up space and i can not install or copy anything in the hard drive. I've noticed that when i deleted some file holding (or not) the shift key the free size goes lower although the files are being deleted from the hard disk.

this is a error message: Error code 0000007a, parameter1 c03dcf3c, parameter2 c000000e, parameter3 f73cf642, parameter4 22808860.
started up then there was the error reporting to settle, so it's a hard disk error, but what exactly is still not known. here's what i was doing just BEFORE this error occured.
I get this cyclic redundancy check error when I try to copy files from a DVD-RW onto my hard drive. I burnt said DVD about two years ago using Cyberlink DVD Solution Power2Go. I get this error with mulitiple DVDs, but not all of them (I've got five and I get this error with only three). Also, I get the error with some files, but not others (on the same DVD). I really can't lose these files! My guess is they were burnt wrong, but I'm really not sure. Is there any way I can recover these files?

a friend asked me to install a new hard drive for him because his crashed. So i purchased a new hard drive (maxtor 60 gb) set out to partition and format the drive, using a win 98 boot disk. I partitoned the drive ( for large volume drive.) Formatted the drive ( format c: /s ) to include system files.and proceeded with Os install Windows 2000. Everything went as smooth as silk... the when install finished, I was prompted to remove the disk from cd rom and complete installation with the onscreen prompt. I removed disk, clicked finish and the computer rebooted upon loading, when it went to start windows it said DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
I put the Win 2K disc back in and hit enter. It started windows perfectly no errors at all... then I took disk out re-started ( to check system stability) and back to the same error message: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER. I of course freaked out, I feel like an idiot cause I cant get this thing to work right. tried reformatting without the sytem files, re-partioning tried win 98, winXP, nothing same stuff! So I talked to a pal got a hard drive wipe program off the net "killdisk", wiped the drive and tried to reinstall Win 2K, same problem.
I am having an issue with a Maxtor Model Number 92739U6 hard drive. I have just finished formatting and installing windows xp home edition. Everything was going ok until I restarted the computer. First right after I restarted the computer I got an error message A Disk Read Error Occurred. Press CTRL+ALT+Del. I was unsure what caused this error message so I started to research this issue on Maxtor?s website and they advised me to use fdisk /mbr to repair the error. I did that and restarted the computer. Same Error?. The thing I can?t figure out is why I am able to boot right to windows using a boot disk.

View 6 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know why PCMark05 would give bizarrely low numbers for any disk-related test under XP 32bit? I tried upgrading to SP3 (was SP2) but still get crazy numbers. All other tests work fine, but anything disk-related and results such as 0.002MB/sec are given, even though the time taken for the tests, and all other tests (HDTach, Sandra, etc.) suggest the disks are working just fine (normal max sustained speed is around 100MB/sec). I'm using all U320 SCSI, 147GB 15K (Maxtor Atlas 15K II), both PCIX and PCIe U320 cards, and it happens no matter what disk I use, or what card the disk is connected to. I was hoping to try the test using hw vs. sw RAID, but so far there's no point trying as long as the disk tests are doing a wobbly.

I choose yes and restart the computer. But, after chkdsk runs, I dont have time to read the results as it quickly continues to load the OS when it is finished. Chkdsk (without /f) in cmd in windows tells me there is a problem with my file system although I do not have any bad sectors. I have run chkdsk /f (after restart) twice and it still has not fixed whatever the error is.

View 8 Replies View Relatedwe installed the Microsoft Fax process on an XP Pro PC. It is setup only to send faxes and works great most of the time. However, every once in awhile, it will stop sending faxes even though there are faxes still showing in the Outbox of the Fax Console and Fax Monitor shows Ready to send. What we do see in the Fax Monitor's more>> window is that the last fax said that the fax did not answer, fax was cancelled after about 5 minutes of sitting there trying and it requeued the fax. It then shows a message of Fax Device Error.There is nothing in the Event Logs showing that there is a device problem. Looking at the Printers and Faxes in the Control Panel show the Fax is Ready.
