Scan Does Not Work By Adding Space/f
Apr 6, 2006
I still do not have a fix for what it wrong. and by the way adding the space / f for the scan does not work.My chkdsk states: free space allocated in the master file table BTM.Problems with the file system.IT states different things in the read only mode, and I repeat I CANNOT do a chkdsk /f at all. It will not boot into the check disk mode to fix the file system. Please what can I do. It will defrag but not fix the file system. In fact, the computer will not reboot into the check disk mode when restarted.

I went to use PerfectDisc yesterday, it suggested I do a bootup scan, I did, allowed it to do pagefile scan too. Ran fine. Then rebooted, went to do regular scan. it locked up on the Blue Screen of Death.
"Bad_Pool_Header" and gave some error info... 0x00000019, and so on.
Computer runs fine though otherwise, which is funny.
Then when I try to go to Registry Mechanic and scan, it goes all the way through, and on I believe the deepscan, it always goes to BSOD there. I think while it's in the HKEY section of current user.
There may be other programs that will cause the BSOD, but these 2 are the only ones so far. Please guide me through this....Anyone.

My Sony VAIO RZ40 has drives C and D. Drive C is so full that Defragger will not work.I have deleted Microsoft Word from drive C (planning to reinstall on drive D) but Properties in drive C does not show any reduction in space used.In addition to Defragger not working, when I choose Disk Cleanup it runs for hours and never does its job.

The problem I'm having is, every week I do a scan disk and defrag. I've noticed that once defraged since a few weeks ago I HAVE GONE from over 70% free space down to only under 40%....I don't run any major software at the moment BUTDO use the internet on ADSL most days BUT not to any great extent. The only connection I can c is this copying Dig pix straight to disc...Am I right or is there sumthing else going on

i wanted to copy a cd image 4.18GB ISO format from partition F: NTFS 9GB free to partition D: (FAT32 12GB free space) and windows gives me that crap there is not enough space and i should do a disk clean up.
I made a disk clean up to partition D: and there was 3GB of system restore files!!! maybe coz i deleted 6GB earlier anyway i deleted the system restore files
Only NTFS partions can have files with file size more than 4GB..i hope theres nothing wrong with my windows or my hard disk..and i wanna know if theres a way to move that ISO image..thanx in advance.

I've noticed sometimes that the Free Space on my harddrives won't reflect changes I've made. For example, on my 28.6gb F: drive, I had about 586mb free. I just deleted a video file of about 700 mb, so it should be up to about 1.2 gb. Oddly enough, its still at 586mb.

I recently noticed that my free space on hard drive has been eroded and my used space has been increasing. I have not added any software. Much to my dismay I cannot figure out why this would occur. We did make recovery disks and removed our partition some weeks ago. It seems our C drive is using up space without any explanation. Ran many different anti virus and spyware software and they did not detect anything.

I add a Favorite to IE.
It's OK to add a new Favorite Folder, but when press final enter, it hangs IE for ages, the hard drive goes bananas, and FINALLY it comes back to life, entered.
I do have a lot of favorites. Is there a Tweak for this?

Windows XP has only three color schemes to choose from. I wondered if there was a way to add new color schemes (and for that matter, a place to specifically find new color schemes) without installing software like Style XP or WindowBlinds. I just want to configure the color scheme, not everything else. Can this be done?

I need some help. I have a Compaq Presario 715us laptop that I just added 256mb of ram.Since then the laptop freezes and the only way to get it back is to hold the power button.It will run from between five minutes and four hours before it freezes. If I remove the new Compaq ram all is well. It is the correct ram per Compaq. I've run looping diags on the ram and they all pass.
I've spent hours on the phone with the clueless folks at Compaq. I've called Kingston to see if they know of a problem, and they didn't. There are no logs associated. I've changed hard drives and reloaded xp with all the updates but it still locks up.I searched the web and found tons of posts on the HP busines forum site of people with many models of Compaq laptops freezing after adding ram. They used all different ram other than Compaq's. They were from three years ago. They found that if they removed xp patch Q811493 in sp1 it corrected the problem. They said that this patch was rolled into KB826939. I've searched for both of these on my laptop and found neither. I've checked add remove programs with show update checked and it isn't there. It may be in SP2 or it may not be related to this issue in my case.

I have a Dell Dimension 8300 desktop with 80GB hard drive and 3 GB RAM. Dell do told me I can have only a total of 120GB hard drive on my machine. Dell forum said that is not right. The Dell manual states there is are 2 bays for 1" high hard drives and it gives installation directions for adding a second internal drive. I have 3 external hard drives for backups, photos and much of what I don't need or want on the C drive. I need to install more programs for photography since they can not be run from an external drive according to those I have asked.

I have 1 memory slot left in my motherbaord and it supports a maximum of 1GB in that slot - I have used the previous 2 with 1GB in each channel running as dual channel memory.
Can Windows XP MCE 2005 work with more than 2GB of memory? I heard that XP with more than 2GB of memory is like Me with more than 512MB. Under Me when I used more than 512MB RAM (768MB) it worked but after performing intensive tasks I has incredibly slow performance to the point where the system almost grinded to a halt!! I wouldnt even dare make full use of the 1GB as I saw articles on MS website saying that 1GB will cause 9x OS's to completely not start at all!! Oh and lets not forget the glorious BSOD - those bring back some memories!
Once I upgraded to XP the 768MB of RAM worked fine. Then went onto 1GB and then afterwards a nice comfy 2GB.
Simply put, if I have 3GB of RAM, will I experience slowdowns or lockups in XP MCE 2005 much like I did in Me, when I had 768MB of RAM? Is 2GB of RAM the "ceiling" in XP MCE 2005 for good reliable performance.

I understand that this is a widows update client running process, but I have 18 of them running in my task manager!!!I can't browse the Internet or open applications (MS Word, Windows Media Player, etc.)and I can't access its files on my network. It tries to run the app when you select it, but then itquickly goes away. Seems like over time the wuauclt's keep adding on in the task manager, like it's trying to update but can't.All my computer can really do is open task manager and get into control panel.

I read somewhere that after adding RAM you also need to adjust the Paging File. I just found an informative article on this. I checked my Page File properties and it reads: C Drive (that's the only drive, no partition)
Custom Size:
Initial: 336 MB
Maximum: 672 MB
I have 990 MB RAM, hence the recommended 1485 MB (1.5 times)Should I increase the Page File size? I don't have a problem with performance, but I also haven't used any memory intensive programs. Also, is there a risk in allowing the system to set Page File? "System managed size"?And why some people recommend the same size for minimum and maximum?

I am trying to figure out how to add changing content to my background. I decided to use the Web option in the customize desktop area of the display settings. I made two test attempts trying different things out to see if it would do what I wanted. I had no trouble and so I went ahead and made my image. Now when I went to add the actual image in it let me, but wouldn't save the changes after I logged off. It works fine while I am still logged in, but as soon as I log off my changes are gone. So I thought that maybe there was a limit on how many items I could have in the list at any given time. I had no need for my test objects, so I deleted them from the display control panel. Now for the surprise - Those changes don't save either. After I log off the test objects are restored. I now thought that maybe it was some kind of safety feature so you don't remove it by mistake. I went through and found where the registry keys for it were located and deleted all of them. This only effected my current session - After I logged off, the test ones are put back and my actual one is removed, from both the control panel and the registry.

I got an old, free system from work with no manual, etc
1) I am curious if this board came with an onboard graphics system. Under device manager, I only show Viper V330 under display adaptors.
2) 2 separate 64 MB strips are installed and I did a barclay advisor profile. It shows that I have these two strips installed, but under 'my computer' it shows only 135,010 kb of RAM

I'd like to add a floppy drive to my newish XP based desktop (which came without), and am debating whether to put in an internal drive or get an external USB drive. Since I don't expect to be using it a lot (mainly to read floppies from previous systems), I'm leaning toward the USB drive for reasons ranging from convenience to leaving a free bay for another hard drive,
