6652.	Solve : Invalid System Disk Error in Vista?
Answer» <html><body><p>Hey all,<br/>I just recently started getting the "Invalid system disk...Replace the disk, and then press any key" error at bootup, and I can't seem to figure out how to fix this. What is interesting is if I change the boot order to boot from the CD-ROM first, and put the Vista install disc in, Windows will boot fine. It says to "Press any key to boot from disc"...I dont press anything, and then Vista boots up. Here is what I have tried so far:<br/><br/>-Made sure all IDE cables are hooked up properly and that the system detects my hard drives in BIOS(it does)<br/><br/>-Tested the Motherboard battery by saving new <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/settings-771535" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SETTINGS">SETTINGS</a> in the BIOS and seeing if it remembers them on the next boot up (it does)<br/><br/>-Put the Vista Ultimate install disc in the drive and running the startup repair test (it passed saying it could not find any errors)<br/><br/>-System Restored <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/back-389278" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BACK">BACK</a> to a previous day (Only boots if the Windows disc is in the CD drive)<br/><br/>-For fun, I defraged my C: drive (the drive with Windows on it)...still doesn't work.<br/><br/>It seems to me like one of the system startup files may have gotten corrupted because Windows boots fine from the disc, so I dont think its the hard drive. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!<br/><br/><br/>is this vista an upgrade? when did this start? are some other specs of your machine?This was a full Vista install. The computer has been working fine for the past month and a half or so and it just started happening last night.

I would back up your data and than shop for a new hard drive.<br/><br/><br/></blockquote>This error appears to be a problem with the CD-ROM drive, not the hard disk. <br/><br/>Since the issue is happening before boot, I think we can rule out virus. <br/><br/>Here is what I would recommend:<br/>Unplug the computer completely, and remove the BIOS battery for 10 minutes. <br/>This will reset all its configuration data. <br/><br/>For some reason, my brain is telling me that it could also be your IDE cable selections. <br/>I would double check and make sure that the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/right-239192" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RIGHT">RIGHT</a> IDE is going to the CD drive.</body></html>

6658.	Solve : Wireless Network Search?
Answer» <html><body><p>My brother-in-law's work laptop (IBM ThinkPad with Centrino Mobile) has Windows 2000 but does not appear to have any way of searching for a wireless network. The wireless network we have set up at home works fine but for that to be so I had to enter the information in the wireless card's <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/properties-11511" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROPERTIES">PROPERTIES</a> (SSID and such) but that limits it to home use. Is there something missing here or anything to download for a wireless network search tool? I know my computer with Windows XP has it...it looks like a little computer with three lines next to it.In your System Tray (very bottom right hand <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/side-244750" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SIDE">SIDE</a> next to the clock)<br/>There should be a Wireless icon of some sort. As I recall, Windows 2000 does not have built in WiFi capibilities. Make sure your wireless card software is installed. <br/>I know about the icon you're referring to, as described in my initial email (the little computer with the curved lines next to it) but it's not there. I had a laptop a few years ago with the same system and it had the ability to search but this <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/one-241053" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ONE">ONE</a> does not. It appears the only way to connect to a network is through properties and entering the SSID manually and such, which is cumbersome. Is there a program or update I can download?The driver program for the wireless device may include a connection wizard...or maybe try IBM's site and search under the model # of the laptop.I went to the IBM website and downloaded a driver update package but all that did was mess things up. The old one was from 2004 and the new one is from this year. I input all the info for my home wireless network and it won't connect at all. The time I input the information again it said it was connected but Explorer wouldn't pick anything up. I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/restarted-7314484" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RESTARTED">RESTARTED</a> and now I get nothing. What the censored?It sounds like you might have accidentally downloaded the Windows Vista driver, if it was from this year. <br/><br/>Go back to their site, and make sure you get the driver for your operating system, and if it still wont work, could you give us the link to the download site? Thanks to those of you who have assisted me in the past. I believe I have the proper driver downloaded and installed. I also downloaded and installed ThinkVantage Access Connections so I can scan for WiFi and such. I have input the security information for my wireless network at home and it gets to the verge of connection (and a completed task for me) but it won't finish connecting due to an error with renewing the IP address configuration (the last step). When I click on "Help Me Fix This" it takes me to a diag tool that tells me the DHCP server is not responding (Error <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/code-25512" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CODE">CODE</a>: 031). I can click on a "Repair" button but that doesn't help any. I know I have this option with Windows XP and that has helped in the past but not here since this is on Windows 2000. I know the wireless network is working because I'm using it as I type on my desktop right now. The only other suggestion it gives it to contact my network administrator but that's me and up to now, everything was fine (until I started screwing around with this stupid computer).<br/>What now? I want to finish this being that I'm so close.Basically it stalls on "Waiting for IP configuration" when trying to connect to the network.<a href="http://www.blackviper.com/WIN2K/win2kservice411.htm">Here Ya Go...</a><br/><br/>Courtesy and Kudos to Black Viper.<br/><br/>You may want to print it out.I appreciate the long list but everything appears to be set the way it needs to be. Any specific thoughts?<br/><br/>I should also note that under ipconfig in DOS the DNS suffix is blank, the autoconfig IP address starts with 169 (which is bad, I think), the subnet mask ends in two zeroes, and the default gateway is blank.<br/><br/>I tried to repair and release the IP address via the diag tool but that didn't work either.<br/><br/>Another attempt: I tried to renew the ipconfig via DOS but it said "the following error occurred when renewing adapter WiFi Connection: DHCP Server unreachable."<br/><br/>Finally, I tried to enter the missing information (IP address, DNS server) in the settings for my home wireless network. It said it was connected but really wasn't. I have tried to repair the drivers via Add/Remove Programs to no avail.</p></body></html>

6659.	Solve : XP choice disappeared on Multiple boot menu?
Answer» <html><body><p>Hi all, I have a major problem on my computer and been looking around for help. I'm new here and hopefully I can find some answers to my problem. THanks.<br/><br/>I have just built my new computer. Everything seems okay. I have installed XP Pro SP2. Ran perfect. I installed it in partition C:<br/><br/>Then I have decided to install VISTA business as a multiple OS system. I used Partition Magic to create another <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/primary-1165403" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRIMARY">PRIMARY</a> partition where my VISTA will sit. THis was partition D: Then I got some logical partitions for pure storage purposes.<br/><br/>FOr some reason, my computer froze in the process of VISTA installation. I restarted computer but installation did not continue where it stopped. So I installed a brand new copy onto that partition D: (Of course, I reformatted D: before I installed). VISTA is then installed.<br/><br/><br/>BUT, when I boot up, I thought I am supposed to see a boot menu with 2 choices: Earlier version of windows (XP) and VISTA. I didn't get that screen at all, it just boots right into VISTA. But I can see that my XP partition is still there. <br/><br/>What can I do to bring that boot menu up again so I can choose XP or VISTA?<br/><br/>THANKS!<br/><br/>PS: after all that installation, my VISTA partition became C: and my XP partition became D:....I duno what the censored happened here............. Take your pick:<br/><br/><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Vista+and+XP+dual+boot&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8">Dual Boot XP and Vista</a>Hey how are you doing?<br/><br/>I'm a computer technician and I feel sorry for you buddy. You tried to do the old Dual boot trick and it stuffed your mbr eh<br/><br/>Personally what I would do in this <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/situation-771598" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SITUATION">SITUATION</a> is create a very small primary partition at the end of your <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/drive-959713" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DRIVE">DRIVE</a> (you know how to do that). You should make it FAT and at least 2MB. Create a Bootable CD that can get into DOS prompt and copy a boot loader called XOSL <a href="http://www.ranish.com/part/">http://www.ranish.com/part/</a> into that partition. You will probably want to use a windows 98 boot disk or a dos boot disc, which might be hard to find but i'm sure you're smart enough. Once you have copied the XOSL folder into the partition, run it and install it to that partition. You now have a boot loader which allows you to choose which partition you want to <strong>set active</strong>.<br/><br/>In my opinion it's better to set the partition active to install and boot multiple Operating Sysytems that way, rather than compiling the windows boot.ini to multi-boot your PC.<br/><br/>After you have done this your computer may or may not work. You will get a little boot loader <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/start-239994" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about START">START</a> up and you can choose to boot off primary partitions so you can setup partition for windows xp and partition for windows vista.<br/><br/>If you get this far and everythings working then you can wipe the end FAT partition of your harddrive, since the bootloader is your mbr and doesn't actually sit on the end of your harddrive, however you <strong>should create a backup of your mbr</strong> by using a DOS based tool such as mbrrest and a windows based one as well (they both can load and restore mbr files no matter what extension it has).<br/><br/>If you get this far and windows xp doesn't boot even though you configured it in XOSL then you will need to rebuild your mbr by using a tool such as partition doctor. You can then try XOSL again and if windows xp now loads, but vista doesn't load then you will need to do these steps 1)Set the primary partion you are installing vista to as active 2)install vista onto the partition now that its active 3)Install XOSL again<br/><br/>Just a small note about active partitions - There can only be one active partition at one time, if you look in partition magic you will see which partition is active. If you see that your vista partition is active, then that is a good sign, if windows xp is still active then you are going to have a few problems and need to follow the lengthy process I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/wrote-2337746" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WROTE">WROTE</a>. The active partition is where your operating system will load from and it will also show up as C: which is what you said. Thats why I suspect you are in luck, but you should check the settings in partition magic and if it is active then get XOSL now and it will work fine.<br/><br/>just make sure you save your mbr before installing XOSL since it will overwrite your current one, just incase it doesnt work!<br/>Quote</p><blockquote>Then I have decided to install VISTA business as a multiple OS system. I used Partition Magic to create another primary partition</blockquote><br/>This is where it went wrong...you can only have one active partition per physical drive. Had you left it as an extended partition you would have been fine.<br/><br/>This is a gamble but you may have to start over anyways so the tradeoff is in your favor: using Partition Magic change D: (where the XP install is) back to active. Save the changes and re-boot<br/><br/>If you are lucky when you restart you will be presented with the dual-boot menu choice.<br/><br/>Best of Luck to You.<br/><br/>p.s. Just thought of this ...since the partitions were changed prior to the Vista install this probably will not work...however if XP loads properly all you have left to do is re-install Vista so it's still worth it.</body></html>

6673.	Solve : Vista/XP Dual Boot Problems?
Answer» <html><body><p>I recently bought a new HP dv9339 notebook PC with Vista <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/home-237767" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HOME">HOME</a> pre-installed. There's tons to hate about Vista, but I do acknowledge that it's probably what I'll want to use for some applications (if not all, eventually). With that in mind, I created a new partition, turned off SATA support (necessary for installing XP), and installed XP Pro.<br/>Since HP doesn't support XP any more, I had to search for a lot of the drivers I needed, but I installed them one by one (except for my audio drivers and USB drivers), and soon I had a pretty functional version of XP running. For about two days. Then, out of the blue and not related to any changes as far as I could see, I got a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD. When I turned my computer back on, the motherboard gave me a series of angry <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/beeps-7666977" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BEEPS">BEEPS</a> and the monitor failed to turn on. I gave it a rest, tried again, and got a message saying that "E:\Windows\System\System32\" was missing or corrupted (E was the XP partition I'd created). the weird thing is, after I reformatted E and reinstalled XP on it, these problems remained (MOST of the time; occasionally I could boot into XP just fine).<br/><br/>Luckily, Circuit City has a great return policy (no questions asked) so I got a fresh one. I'm just running Vista on it right now, and I'm scared to try XP again. I'm wondering if these problems were a hardware issue (in which <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/case-240222" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CASE">CASE</a> I don't care, I've got a new computer), or something I did by installing XP--and if it's an XP problem, is there any <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/way-246442" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WAY">WAY</a> for me to install XP on this machine without killing it?The issue was most likely caused by installing incompatible drivers. <br/><br/>Windows Vista can handle the newer drivers, but XP cannot in most cases, specifically with OEM distributed drivers. <br/><br/>Also, since it is an OEM distributed driver, you may have even more <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/trouble-344061" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TROUBLE">TROUBLE</a> finding the driver. <br/><br/>XP is old software now, just like ME, 2000, 98, 95, 3.11, 3.1, 3.0, 2.1, 2.0, 1.1, 1.0 You will have to Install XP first becuase of a Boot setting in vista.Quote</p><blockquote>Since HP doesn't support XP any more, I had to search for a lot of the drivers I needed, </blockquote><br/>Where do you get this info from ? ? ?<br/><br/>This topic is one month old...<br/></body></html>

6675.	Solve : 2 questions: windows vista, and burnt-out hard drive memory saving?
Answer» <html><body><p>My PC computer with xp started crashing. Is an acer aspire 5000. Might have been a virus. Regardless, at this point, I am trying to get all info off the puter. I tried using a CD -- it will not recognize the CD as something to be copied to. I came home with the wrong product when I tried to find a usb to usb cable to see if that would work, so might try that soon if answer still not found. I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/also-373387" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ALSO">ALSO</a> had a San Disk cruzer external small usb memory thing of 512 mb.... I just tried it, and it did work at first. I was able to transfer one folder over to my other computer. <br/><br/>In the meantime, I bought a computer with windows vista. Is a PC, acer aspire 5100. Large mistake -- i thougth windows vista meant windows xp with other goodies. Was not the case. According to info on this computer... 2.0 ghz, 512 kb, 100 gb, etc... this computer should be running faster then my other computer (the xp). Yet... I have a Ton of programs on my xp (was running out of space).... and I have hardly installed <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/anything-380254" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ANYTHING">ANYTHING</a> on the new computer.. and it runs slower. Even with the xp computer almost broke -- the internet still serves much faster then on the vista one, certain programs will not run on the vista one, and the vista one is just downright slow. I bought it on ebay, and there was a sliver in the "if this seal is broken, contact <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/someone-25657" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SOMEONE">SOMEONE</a>..." part. So -- I don't know if this product is what it was appearing to be online when I bought it or not. <br/><br/>My computer is my job... so I need desperately to find answers -- and my immediate thing -- is that I need to get my files off of the xp. I have an external hard drive being shipped, and will save things onto there once transferred. It will be very hard for me financially to pay someone to get the info off the hard drive of the xp -- and I am too chicken to just take it out and try to install it in the new computer. If I ruin something, I will not be able to purchase another computer.<br/><br/>Yet... to finish... when I tried to transfer the memory on the usb memory transfer thingy -- when I try to install it on the new vista computer -- it is now saying that it cannot recognize the USB. I don't have a CD for this product, and thinking about it-- don't think that it came with one anyway. <br/><br/>Not sure what to do -- if there is something to get the vista computer working better -- or was it just a fraud offer? And... how to transfer the information from my xp computer that has been crashing onto something....<br/><br/>And to add one more thing -- as I thought I just needed to wait patiently for the external hard drive to arrive (before trying much to get info off of the xp)... the longer time goes so far, the more files are getting corrupted on the computer... and the less functional the computer gets.<br/><br/>Thanks for any help!!!<br/>The first thing you need to do is to make sure that your old computer is free of viruses and bugs. What Anti-virus program were you running? You say your files are getting corrupted. This doesn't sound like a computer crashing. What <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/makes-248623" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MAKES">MAKES</a> you think that your old computer is crashing?I had no anti-virus program running on it. I think they make you pay monthly, or make you purchase their product (or both) -- and obviously with a new computer, I will make sure that I keep a working anti-virus program on it if I can afford it (though I realize the cost might be greater in the long run if I do not pay for the virus protection).<br/><br/>A lot of programs will no longer upload. I also, when trying to make more space in the add/delete prgrograms box..... deleted something that I was not sure what it was. And I don't know what the name of it was -- there is a chance that I deleted something that needed to be there.<br/><br/>As I have been looking at it more -- I am now realizing that this all may have been a virus as the main issue. I was getting the impression at first though, that the computer was just toast, as program after program started not being able to open or function properly, then files after file started not being able to open or be worked with, andfile after file started showing up as corrupt --- YET.... I now realize that signifies probable virus was a main issue.<br/><br/>In that case, perhaps if I get a working anti-virus program on the older computer, it Might fix a large part of the issue.<br/>Adding that I just now tried to install the free trial of norton anti virus on the computer that seems to have a virus. It comes out as a corrupt file, or while I am trying to use it it becomes corrupt, ... what do I do from there? Thanks!Windows Vista requires a higher amount of RAM to run. A<em> minimum of 1 G</em>B of RAM is usually recommended to keep Vista running smoothly.<br/><br/>You said 512kb. I'm presuming that that is the amount of RAM on the Aspire 5100. If you would like to get to get that computer running faster, I would install more RAM, but be sure to check and make sure that it is the same kind of RAM already inside the computer.<br/><br/>If you have questions or need help, open up the computer (the 5100) and pull out the RAM card. (Be sure to turn off the computer first! ) On the card there should be a small sticker with details about the RAM. Post those here and I can help you find what kind of RAM you need to buy. I completely forgot the other part of your problem.. <br/><br/>As far as transfering your files from your old computer to your new one goes, I would use an external hard drive. A small one (small meaning not a huge amount of memory space) would be fine if you want to save money and don't mind making a few trips from the old computer to the new one. <br/><br/>If your USB port on your old computer works, then you should be ok. Buy an external hard drive. Make sure it is <em>pre-formatted</em> and I wouldn't recommend a Maxtor as I am currently having troubles with one myself. If it has "plug n play" that is <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/best-390038" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BEST">BEST</a>, as the computer will instantly see the hard drive without having to install anything. <br/><br/>All you would need to do then, is plug it in your old computer, copy all your files and documents on to it, either manually or do a disk backup, and then plug it into your new computer and upload all the files. Simple, no?Kimberly, Let's just concentrate on the old computer for now. Google and download AVG. It's free and one of the best anti-virus programs around; certainly better than Norton. Once you install it, run a scan to get rid of any bugs you find. Please let us know. If you're using your new computer to go on the internet, install AVG on that computer to keep it protected, then burn AVG to a CD and install it on your old computer. DO NOT try to transfer any files from the old computer to the new one just yet. First off, I would like to thank everyone who has been helping me. I had ordered an external hard drive a week or few ago -- that I had to return as it did not work -- yet I received the new one that I ordered after from a different place, and as of today got all info off the old computer onto the external hard drive (took about 7 hours, as the computer was not wanting to work properly -- yet all I can say, is I am Glad I got my info off there! ).<br/><br/>The new computer, I will be returning soon, and in the meantime, ran the norton virus scan throughout all files on the external hard drive that came off of the crashing computer. There were no viruses, spyware, or any other problems found.<br/><br/>When on the crashing computer though, one file after another was still not opening. And as I was transfering things, more programs began not to work. In the end, it was not letting me send some things to trash. And it kept shutting down over and over. <br/><br/>I was finally able to download the norton virus scan on there (I had not read the last note yet on here).... yet it keeps shutting down in the middle of the scan. At this point, I can just recover the whole system, and let it whipe everything off. If I find I need to use a program on there while waiting to get a new computer, I might try to download the other virus scan that you were talking about.<br/><br/>So, at this point, I think all is safe regarding the programs on that were on the crashing computer. And it looks like I got them off right at the blink of time. I now will need to wait an see what to be doing while waiting to be able to get a new computer, as not sure when I will (or if I will) get a refund for this one (though I heard paypal will help give refunds for purchases on ebay that were frauds).<br/><br/>Thanks again for all the help!!!!Kimberly, when and if you get another computer be sure to download AVG or another free anti-virus program and install it on your computer. Once you have your Operating system install you can start transferring files. Do not try to copy any programs to the new computer. Programs must be installed in order to work properly. Please keep us informed. Bonne chance</p></body></html>

There is a condition of use that it is only to be used on the Cisnet computer that we purchased.<br/>I have been following the many comments (elsewhere as well as CH) re people's thoughts on Vista.

A Sony Vaio model PCV-RXA 842.This computer and it's problems are related in CH "computer software" ""problem with Sony Vaio Desktop" . <br/>2.Besides the generous help from the CH forum members i could not have achieved the success i have now without the additional help of 2 web sites <a href="http://www.geekgirls.com/windowsxp_install.htm">http://www.geekgirls.com/windowsxp_install.htm</a> & <a href="https://www.le.ac.uk/cc/dsss/docs/w2kprob.shtml">http://www.le.ac.uk/cc/dsss/docs/w2kprob.shtml</a> .<br/>3.

In this instance i had to format and create a file sysyem on the 44gb of the Samsung H/D that was recognized but not formated (G). Once both were done it was there that i installed the XP-pro.<br/>8. The only item remaining to declare "mission accompished" is to regain the use of the 80gb Seagate H/D originally installed in the Vaio. Thanks again to all of you that endeavored to assist me in these related issues. truenorth</p></body></html>

A JAR file is essentially a zip file that contains an optional META-INF directory.

They are used as building blocks for applications and extensions. The META-INF directory, if it exists, is used to store package and extension configuration data, including security, versioning, extension and services. "Ok I dont know about .jar I know that my comp wants to open all extractaqble files with java now and that doesn't work real good. I checked MS website couldn't find much except if your computer came with Vista installed they wont help, DuH!! <br/><br/>I cant believe all the problems that are solved here this would be an easy fix with no solution... <br/><br/>moving to drastic measures looks enevitable, any way to do a system restore like XPWhen you go to the properties of a compressed file and choose the change the file association, you don't see anything like <strong>Compressed (zipped) Folders</strong>?<br/><br/>Can't say how well, this will work, but you could give it a try...<br/>1. Download <a href="http://www.annoyances.org/exec/download/vistazip.reg">vistazip.reg</a>, and save it to your desktop.<br/>2.

If so, it might be the temperture. Perhaps it just need a cleaning. Also check the heat sink where it mates with the CPU, make sure it has good contact with the CPU. Just a thought.<br/><br/>B.Yes, the PC runs correctly before turning blue. I have cleaned the dirt covered the heat sink and fans, but I still got the problem.<br/><br/>I also suspect that it should be the graphic part, as when I changed the resolution to 640 x 480, it works fine. Everything above that resolution would render the same error message.<br/><br/>I tried to download and install the latest driver of the graphic card : ATI Raedon 9250 (128mb), but got the same error when set to a higher resolution 1280 x 1024 - 32 bit - 75Hertz refresh rate.
