View 1 Replies View RelatedMy laptop died and I removed the hard drive.I hooked the hard drive up to my new laptop via a SATA/IDE cable.I can see the old hard drive in the E drive and it appears that all the contents are there by the size of the hard drive (same as when I had it in the old laptop) but I can only see, actually view, a very small percentage of the drive. My goal: I want to transfer all old music, word documents and photos from old laptop into new laptop.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been given a laptop (dell latitude l400) which has had the hard drive wiped clean. All i have is the floppy drive.When i run the XP boot disk, i get an error message of ' bootinfo.inf', whereas when i run a 98 boot disk it does at least get further but stops at the C: prompt but cannot get anything else to work.
I have run a Dir check and found that all the hard drive recognises is the command file. Also i have tried an external cd drive but cannot get the laptop to recognise it.
I have brand new acer .I have disabled a few things but could do with a bit of help on the rest.Trouble is I am not too sure what they are for,tried reading the manual,ended up even more confused.I basically go on I.E and Google things and read this website,that's about it.

"Checking file system on C:
Type of file system is FAT 32
One of the disks needs to be checked for consistency
Windows is verifying files and folders
Checks until 100% completed then shows "Windows has made corrections to file system".
Then goes back to windows is starting up and then log in again. Cannot find a way to break this loop. Is this virus or Windows fixing itself. Problem started out of the blue, nothing like it before (over 18 months).
how can i get rid of it?

A laptop that I have to turn in soon. I use this more or less as a personal laptop (I work from home). I want to clean this up (remove history, etc) before I send it back to the company. I am not really trying to hide anything, but more prefer to not let them into my personal life. Please do not start preaching about ethics, or that it is a company comuter, etc....
The computer is a Dell Latitude D610, with Win XP. I have done the basics, like the Browser history, but I am more concerned with anything that may be kept in the registry, etc.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy laptop was in perfect working order last night but when I came to turn it on this morning it wouldn't. No screen, no sound. Tried again and got a high pitched continuos beep from it so turned it off/on again, nothing. Pressed F8 to try start it up in safe mode but it wont do that either. There is NO screen at all coming up. If i cant start it up in safe mode is it DEAD?

When you try to switch it on, you get a black screen with a white message. the jist of it says that Windows shut down and that to restart it you need to choose a mode - it gives you options 'safe mode' 'last known settings that worked' 'normal mode' etc. We have tried all of these modes. the most successful of which always looks really promising - you get the blue windows screen, logo and jingle it looks like it is starting up but then dies and the screen goes black. When you turn it on you get the black screen again and go around in circles.
View 2 Replies View Relatedever since I downloaded an episode of a TV show I missed last week (yes, bad idea..) my laptop has been acting up. It takes forever to open web pages if it will do so at all, and programs will give error messages and close. The messenger program will pop up showing others I am online although I have chosen all the options not to do that. I am sure it is a virus or some malware/spyware, but I run Norton (up to date) and Spyware Doctor (also up to date) and they can't find anything except a few adware cookies to delete. How do I find out what's causing this and get rid of it? It must have come in with the peer to peer program I would think?

My Laptop has been having on & off problems booting to Windows, Some days it will boot to windows other days it won�t. The days it won�t I have to go thru the procedures listed below:
When I turn on my laptop it boots to the HP invent logo/intro & then that�s it, it doesn�t proceed to windows. Below in the left hand corner are a few instructions such as:ress <Esc> to change boot order
Press <F10> to enter Setup, <F12> to boot from LAN
Laptop has no sound. New XP install. Divers installed. Device enabled. Device working properly. Still nothing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWell, I really did it this time... I decided to upgrade my laptop to XP... backed everything important, did the upgrade...everything seemed good. Worked. Then it notified me that the Norton was not working, & advised me to uninstall & reinstall... so I did... only thing is, I went ahead with the restart! I should of looked for junk/trace files, especially since it said it didn't completely remove it. So, when I restarted it, XP keeps coming to a screen that checkes the file system, fat ,32 scans & fixes files... dump files, etc. I can get to the IBM Bios setup, but I don't really know what to do from there.When I use a boot (maybe the one I'm using is no good) it says C: doesn't exist... I did try to start in safe mode, one of the times it appeared... but it didn't change the screen still did that fix-it thing.

My uncle was given an old Dell Latitude cpi laptop at work. Though, no discs or anything were included and the machine isn't formatted, it loads up to the password entry screen and I can't get passed this because they didn't include a password. Is there anyway to format without having a disk? There's no floppy drive, only a cd-rom.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I just bought the HP Pavilion DV5 and it came (of course) with Vista. So I rounded up all the drivers I needed and prepared to wipe it and install XP. I have done this before on many computers.However I get an error message after it boots from the CD. I get the Windows setup screen with the blue and the grey bar at the bottom telling you what it's doing. But after that, instead of the menu I get:"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer."It tells me to check for viruses and remove any new hard drives and such.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is probably a fairly straight forward answer to this and I have searched the forum but can't find someone with exactly the same problem so I thought the best thing to do was post a new thread. My brother has a dell laptop which came pre installed with windows XP Home edition when he brought it. Some time ago he had some problems
with it and because he could not find his recovery CD at the time someone gave him a different copy of windows XP Pro which he tried to load because the serial number that he was given was incorrect it did not complete the installation.After speaking to Dell they sent him out the restore CD which loaded the XP Home Edition on which works fine but on boot up it give you the option of booting into either.
I am selling my laptop, and it is running Windows XP. How do I (fairly new at computers) delete the whole entire thing so that I can reinstall using my OS CD. There are some funky viruses and I want to clean out all data and passwords so that whomever buys it has a clean start.
