View 3 Replies View RelatedI just bought a hard drive to replace the small hard drive in my computer. I want to clone the old hard drive onto the new one. I found some very good directions on how to do this on the Internet and it says I need ultimate boot disk on a CD. I downloaded the ultimate boot disk to my computer and put the file on a CD. This is where I think I run into trouble. When I double-click on the file to expand it, it wants to install itself on the computer. Is that what it is supposed to do? I was expecting it to expand itself on the CD. I guess what I am asking is if it should expand on this CD, or do I have to install it on one of the hard drives when I am doing the cloning process? I hope somebody on here understands what I am trying to explain.

I then used combofix, it seemed to help, but I don't think it's all the way off. I see explorer.exe goes to 99% in the tak manager. When I bring up a ie browser, it tries to go to the ultimate defender page. I looked in the registry, I don't see any "ultimate" settings.Here is a hijackthis report after the combofix run.

When I put in my XP disc, it loads and states that "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. Make sure any hard disks are powered on and properly connected etc. etc." How come this is happening? I know people have downgraded this specific laptop before, as it is all over the internet but I can't find anyone else getting this error

As soon as i installed it i got the BSOD. i got BSOD from normal boot, safe mode, trying to use the windows cd(to do a recovery but crashes before first screen of options). If i use a linux based boot disk 2/3 kernal paniced. The one that didnt panic, Avira anti-virus, scans finds the virus but cannot remove it. It is definitely not a hardware problem and i have tried all of the boot cds with ALL of my hdds unplugged and it does the same.

I have been using Vista Ultimate 64 bit on my HDX 9001 tx notebook since over an year, and recently got fed up and downgraded it to XP.Strangely, the screen has become very dull. I remember XP had POWER SETTINGS, and the screen used to be dull if I used VISTA on "Save power" mode. But I am not sure why XP is running on this mode. I have checked all around, including POWER SETTINGS (which are different in XP and vista) but cannot find a solution.Yes I have downloaded and installed the graphic card drivers.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAll of a sudden, every time I boot, the desktop icons and background come up normally, and the mouse icon moves - but NOTHING on the desktop that I click on works. The mouse arrow becomes a hourglass icon on the blue bar at the bottom. No new software or hardware.The ONLY way to recover is to go to safe mode and restore to an earlier time. Interestingly, even if the restore says it was NOT successful to an earlier time and unchanged, the machine then works normally (until the next reboot). I've done: sfc scannow, crapcleaner, utility drive and registry scans, antivirus scans, chkdsk, etc - no help. I've looked carefully at ipconfig, but only the bare bones usual stuff is there.

The problem is, while using this computer, i had a hung-up process that was slowing things down. After doing CNTL-ALT-DEL to see the process list, i accidentally shut down the explorer process, thinking it was a hung-up internet explorer. Naturally, the computer shut down, but ever since, it does not seem to want to boot appropriately. From a cold power-up, it will go through the "Windows" logo screen with the blue scrolling bar for about 10 seconds, then the screen goes black and stays black for about a minute. Rather than coming to the light blue screen where the user-id's live, the system instantaneously flashes a "blue screen" (with some white characters on the screen), however, it's so fast that I can't read it, nor can I get a screen shot of it. Once that blue screen flashes, it goes back and tries to boot again, only it gives me the options of safe mode, start windows normally, start from last known good configuration, etc. I can boot up just fine in safe mode, but the blue screen phenomenon happens for all the other options. I have tried a system restore to a previous day, and that doesn't work either.
any ideas on how to proceed, short of an OS reinstall / repair. I have seen some suggestions for CMOS battery replacement,I can copy any utility files I need just fine while in safe mode, but I'd like to try and do additional troubleshooting
My nephew who is 4 came to stay for the weekend whilst his dad and I went fishing.Yesterday I discovered that my desktop wont boot up...at all.I took out the hDD and put it in another pc as slave and disovered the files were corrupted.Seems the little tyke kept switching on on/off my pc.I used powermax to check the drive which it says is ok, reformatted but it will not let me reload XP.Keeps meeting files it cannot load and asks
that I check the disk(original).
I live 4 states away from my little brother, and his computer is in dire straights. When we boot it up, he gets a blank desktop, no icons, no taskbar, no start menu. If we attempt to access programs via task manager (ctrl alt del) then we get the "Task manager has been disabled by the administrator. I need to know where to start so we can begin taking care of this mess. We can get into safe mode, and task manager will let us in, but I'm lost after that step. I've had him run a couple of cracks that are supposed to fix the registry, but they dont help when we reboot into normal windows. Someone lend me a hand and let me know what we need to do.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently using Windows XP home edition. On bootup, no icons or start menu is displayed. I have tried to right click and click 'show desktop', but all I am able to do is move the mouse. There is no other mouse function present. I am able to access the internet, email and run applications via the Ctrl, Alt, Del command and then selecting 'run'. All that is displayed is my background screen saver and the mouse pointer. Please advise me on how normal functionality can be restored. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
