Wont Reboot Xp Drive, Repairing Comes With An Error?
Aug 7, 2003
I attached my xp drive as a slave to my 2000 pro drive and booted. It checked my xp drive and then started to truncate everything. I now cannot reboot my xp drive. I tried using xp cd to repair but it says I can't due to error on partition, drive full etc. I have tried my friends partition software but it finds no errors. When I use his xp drive to see my xp drive, it says it is unreadable. Is there something out there to repair my truncated files? Is this fixable or is formating my only option. I am desperate to retain my xp drive data. Using parition magic 8, it shows my xp drive as a type 07 and my 2000 as a FAT drive.
About a week ago, I performed a fresh reinstallation of Windows XP Home (I posted here about it) in order to allow it to work with my new motherboard. Since then, everything had been working fine until I experienced a sudden Blue Screen of Death, yesterday, while playing the game 'The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay'. I rebooted and attempted to play the game again, but experienced another almost identical Blue Screen at a different point in the game.
It has 2 drives and the boot drive is split into 2 partitions. I was 'upgrading' his XP (was on C: volume) to XP-MCE and there was a failure, I decided to just do a clean install onto that partition. I deleted the old boot partition and started installing XP-MCE into the now unallocated space. After the reboot to continue installation it stops after post with "Disk error" and "Press any key to restart" messages.
If I boot to the install disk again it shows the storage space as C: and the new installation as D: (opposite of pre-reinstall). I retried with the 2nd SATA drive disconnected and it's the same every time.I can't reformat the whole drive; the storage partition has all the backup data that I saved from the original XP installation.
Just installed XP Pro last week no problems . Last night, my computer will not work.I try to Repair from the CD, but the I get the same error over and over.I get the same error even if I try to run set from scratch.
My wife bought me an Acer pc pentium 4 etc etc running Win xp home.I am trying to repair this O/S but in real terms I would like to use XP pro 2nd ed. again! When I got the machine it had Windows pre installed and now I have a few probs I really would like to either repair the O/S thats here or better still Format and install XP Pro ! Other alternative is to put XP pro on another drive ....The system came with 80gb split into two and I have also an exterior H/D which is 250gb could I do this/
I need to do an XP repair install on my Dell Dimension 8400 to fix several programs that no longer work (Update being the biggest problem). I had used this Forum a couple of months ago and doing the repair install was the recommended solution. I have a copy of the michaelstevenstech.com directions so I know what to do. Unfortunately, when I try to launch the "to setup Windows XP, press enter" step, the program comes back with an error message saying the hard drive is not found.
I have a hardrive( Maxtor 6Y200P0) wich have got corrupted and bad segments. (this seme to be a common problem with Maxtor drives) Im almmost sure this drive have psychical damaged clusters, cause i have tested alot & alots of tools that should fix this has failing in repairing this damaged clusters and segments. this includes Maxtor official PoweMax v 1.21, wich fails to complete the surface test. i have got an Error Diagnostic Code=de676679. a code with a 8 numeral should indicate that a Maxtor Drive drive is broken,and is in need of replacement. thats all i know where should i send this code for a real analyz?, cant find anything on Maxtor Website, Another question, there is allso an option to do a Low ore High level formatation of the drive. I have heard that this could fix corrupted segments, If so,this must only be possible on logical damaged hardrives, not psycial damaged drives right? i have waiting with reformatation cause im unsure what type damage the drive have, and this is my last alternative to do.? should i do a low/high level formatation anyway?
I went to bed 2 nights ago with a statistical program running on my computer. I woke up the next day to find a black screen with a small window with an error message. It said: "lsass.exe - System Error" "Object Name not found." When I click OK, the computer tries to restart.it shuts down, but then when trying to reboot it comes back to the black screen with the error message.
I got this blue screen error message which came up when I was usingmy PC.The details are: *** STOP: 0X00000001 (0X005C007F, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0XF2E312AC)*** LF30XQ.SYS - address F2E312AC base at F2E2C000, DateStamp 403C6159 beginning dump of physical memory Physical memory dump complete.It also said to turn off BIOS Memory Caching or shadowing. There is only Video BIOS Caching enabled on BIOS. No other shadowing or caching is stated anywhere.
Each time I re-boot my Windows XP sp2, I get an error message on a blue screen: "AU program not found Skipping AUTOCHK". In the control panel, the Security Center shows Automatic Updates is ON. Doing a support search on the Microsoft website, a Repair Reinstall of XP will cause problem's in- it- self.
This is kind of a long one, so please bear with me. In the last week I've been getting a lot of pop ups (almost every time i clicked a link or visited a new site) which i never used to get before. Many of them were things saying my computer was at risk and i should download such and such software, but i didn't know if they were legit so i didn't do it.Then one morning a couple days ago i woke up with the computer running the windows loading page. It took me to the password screen, i entered my password and windows started. But then once all the programs had loaded, it flashed a blue screen error, too quick to read, and then went black. Then it started loading windows again and took me back the password screen. I logged on and the same thing kept happening over and over.I started it in Safe Mode and did a full scan with my virus protection software (Symantec). It found six threats and i deleted them all. Restarted the computer but the same thing happened. I tried the disk defragmenter in Safe Mode but that didn't work either.
Finally i changed the System Config Utility in Safe Mode to diagnostic which allowed me to open windows outside of Safe Mode, but not use any programs. So i went back to the system config and turned off all the programs that i could recognize as unnecessary (AIM, Kodak, winAmp, etc) and restarted. This time windows started fine and stayed up for awhile. Just to be on the safe side i disabled the automatic restart so that if it happened again i could write down the blue screen error. After about a half hour of working fine it went to the blue screen error again.
Trying to help my daughter with her computer. Every once in a while (sometime twice in a day, sometime not for several days in a row) she hears her computer rebooting. Even when she has nothing open and not even using it - just a desktop open. Created a system restore point before started all this. The computer reboots and gives the following error message: "The System has recovered from a serious error", then she can click Send to Microsoft, or don't send. She clicks don't send and everything words just fine, her applications run fine, email and Internet work fine. This doesn't happen very often, but something is not right. Not much to gone on but that's all that happens.The computer is nice and fast, boots up fast, everything runs nice and fast. Internet and email work fine.This started a few months ago and she can't remember doing anything that would cause it to start. She has not installed any software or hardware in over a year or so. I did a complete backup right away so her files are backed up and safe.
Thought it sounded like a heat issue so I opened the case and she had it very, very clean. Fan and heatsink very clean and fan working fine as well as the other fan in the case. I checked the hard drive cables (SATA 250 gig HD) and they were nice and tight. Reseated the memory modules just in case one crept lose. check CD/DVD drive cable and it was tight. Cleaned out her temporary Internet (cache) files.Next, I clicked on My Computer then highlighted the C: drive and right clicked the C: drive and selected Properties. Then selected Tools and was going to select Defrag button but it was greyed out and said "No defragment tool is installed. I then opened the Control Panel and click the Add/Remove programs icon and once that opened I selected the Open Windows Components and it opened fine, but I couldn't find anywhere in there to install the Windows Defragment program. Am I looking in the right place for this?
My computer started to crash a bunch, so I reloaded windows. Now it does it all the time. It reboots randomly and does not record anything in the error log. It did however just give me a stop error. The error was 0x0000007E (0xC00001D, 0x804FFDB7, 0xF789E678, 0xF789E374)
i have a customer that is getting a stop error when they boot the pc. the error flashes too quickly on the screen to catch it. i know there's a registry entry somewhere that i can change that will change the reboot automatically setting. does anyone know what it is? there should also be a log file that will also show me the what the stop is, but everything i see is all binary data.
My friend goes to college and is home for the holidays and asked me if I could find out what is wrong with his laptop.First you turn it on and there is a constant clciking noise but that I don't think is the main problem. when you turn it on it doesnt boot it goes right to a black screen with whitle letters and says this Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key Could I person put in an xp pro system disk and boot with that? He isn't home right now and I don't know if it is xp home or pro but I have a pro disk, it has not got a floppy drive so can't use floppies to boot with, So can I set the BIOS to boot from the cd-rom and try the xp pro disk? and if so what do I do after it boots? or can I click on I think it is F10 when starting and see if I can get to system recovery? and if so what do I do after I get there?
toshiba laptop keeps rebooting i have a toshiba satellite a100/a105 series laptop. it was working fine until i hit a link from a Internet video. i try to log on but it keeps rebooting indicating the following message:"we apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully. a recent hardware or software change might have caused this.if your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically shut down to protect your files and folders, choose last known good configuration to revert to the most recent settings that worked.if a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the power or reset button was pressed , or if you aren't sure what cuased the problem, choose start windows normally.
I have a gateway running windows xp. I had a virus and ran mcafee. It told me to reboot so I did and now nothing happens. hte gateway screen comes up and nothing after that it just stays on the gateway screen. I can't enter safe mode and it will not read my recovery disk. I called gateway and they told me that because my computer is out of the warranty, they would be happy to help me and then gave me three payment options. I have come to grips that I will need to format the hard drive, but I just don't know how to get it to that point. the only thing that happens is the gateway screen and the fan runs really loud.
I am using XP Home SP2. Everytime I power on I lose 1gb of hard drive space. For example I have a 60gb harddrive on my laptop and am actually using about 20gb, however, if I power off and reboot and then go to Windows Explorer and go to C drive and check properties it will list my C drive at 21gb in use. f I reboot again and go to Windows Explorer and check C Drive and check properties it will say 22gb in use. I am now at the point that it says I am using 42gb of hard drice (C drive) even tho I am only using 20gb in actuality.
Okay every time i start my pc i get this error. I insert my gigabyte system cd with gives me option to backup or reboot.Back up = error dont have enough hard disk space reboot = nothing the same error as in the title
I have a friend who has a Dell Dimension 2400. She had a blue screen error with the following parameters 0x00000050 (0xfa3bedeb, 0x00000000, 0xfa3beded, 0x00000000). She was able to reboot at the time of the error but now she's getting a black screen and can not do anything at all.
I left my computer on for about 3 hours, when I returned the screen was black with the a message First time this happened INVALID System Disk Replace Disk and then press any key There is or was no 3 1/2 floppy disk in the computer. Every time I hit any key nothing would happen. When I would reboot I would get to the same screen with the same message and nothing would happen. Then I would reboot again and when that screen would come our I would insert a 3 1/2 Floppy into the computer and the computer would start up. So now the only time I can get the computer to start up I must insert a 3 1/2 floppy.
I'm trying to recover the data from a SATA drive in a new Dell computer. I have an old computer that has an IDE drive with XP on it. I tried to install that old drive into the other computer and boot off of it and see if it can see the files on the busted SATA drive. It boots up and the XP loading screen flickers very quickly and then the system reboots. If I start it in safe mode, it also reboots while its loading all the drivers. The last driver it shows is "agp440.sys"
Built my computer about 1 1/2 months ago, have been having various random reboots at times when I seem to be running a lot of stuff. Most notably crashes during memory intensive games. I sent for replacement ram, even though memtest gave me no errors after 7 passes. I had an Audigy 2 that was in one of the PCI slots, but I removed it and uninstalled all the drivers and apps. I also uninstalled my video drivers, deleted, and reinstalled to updated drivers. Some Errors picked from Event Viewer: (occured last night while playing World of Warcraft)

running XP setup from CD to try to do a repair results in "no installed drives found." when placed in another system as a slave, its found as quickly as the master HD is when its alone, and seems to function normally - chkdsk & surface scan find no errors & kaspersky finds no MBR or other problems. i even used TestDisk to rewrite the partition table and MBR to no avail. i'm able to copy off all my files, but would like to know if there are other things i can try. is there a way to XP setup repair / replace boot files on a drive other than C:? or can i use anything from a working system to fix the slave drive? can i ghost the partition and put it on a new HD and run repair there or will the boot problems be copied with the image?
My friend has a laptop that was starting to fall apart on him. When it boots it will only go into safe mode. When you try to put in his password that he has had for a long time, it doesnt work. My question is this, can I repair XP pro with a xp home disc?? Or does anyone have any ideas as to get in to XP pro?
hi i'm very untechy, i am getting an rpc server error and cannot figure out how to fix it. it keeps rebooting my system. so it's in a continual state of shutdown and reboot. RPC Server Unavailable, hres: 0x800706BA Register Class Objects Fail when i try to do anything it shuts down before i can complete it.. and i try to type command, but i have to go through ctrl/alt/delete to get to the run function because the taskbar isn't there?
I'll try to remember, to the best of my ability, the sequence of events...Suffice it to say that I downloaded and tried to install something I shouldn't have. I Immediately tried to get out of the errors from AVG (free version) and stop the install. All seems good, then IE keeps opening to bogus ad sites. I realize I've got something. AVG and AdAware both fail in removing this Win32Trojan.tdss (I think AVG gave me this description). AVG tells me to reboot to remove it properly. Reboot throws me into "can't verify this installation of Windows". Boot in safe mode work, then I get the same error on reboot...even in safe mode.
I don't have the original Windows CD (separated from husband and software at the same time; cannot find any software now), but it's a Dell and it came with Windows XP Home (product key on box), but I installed XP Pro instead. Don't know what product key was used or how to get it.....
I have a Toshiba tablet PC XP2;It boots up very slowly and I have narrowed down issue to two services which when enabled cause the problem.Workstation and Network Location awareness services.When disabled, the machine boots fine. But is useless unless the services are started manually.
