Hi, Thank you very much for your help with this topic.

1) When I use the 6 xp start up diskettes, enter into the i386 folder by choosing recovery console

When I copy autofmt.exe to the first of the 6 xp start up diskettes - it then says it cannot find this file.

2) When I start up using the "xp boot diskette" from instructions from microsoft:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;305595

and add format.com which I got from searching xp,

It states "bad command or file name" or "incorrect ms dos version"

I need specifc instructions please if you could be so KIND to format a c: partition to be able to restore a image of the c: system paritition and have it boot successfully.

Thank you very much for your help

Should read

format e: /FS:NTFS

Take a look at this MS KB Article http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307881
Not to confuse anyone the format switch is important.

You can custom format FAT32 volumes too (if the program will let you) for example:

A:\>format x: /Z:n

Where x is the drive LETTER /Z is the custom switch and where n = 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 32 or 64 , and where 1 = 512 bytes.

So A:\>format c: /Z:8 would give 4096 byte clusters. (8 x 512)

This is what you get when you use the NTFS format parameters

format c: /FS:NTFSHi, Thank you very much for your support.

I was able to run format from the 6 xp start up diskettes. I copied autofmt.exe to the 1st floppy and when it asked for it, I put the floppy back in and gave it the path.

I ran format c: /fs:ntfs, did a recovery from Image For Dos and rebooted successfully!

Thanks again for the great help. Praise Jesus!

Good luck.Found the answer at a unique little web site : answersthatwork.com They have an index of tasks that run ... click on the "t" - you will find that it is a utility loaded with HP CD/DVD drives, allowing the user to write directly to the optical UNIT .... they also recommend a solution....nice thanx alot guys orr gals

12654.	Solve : Cannot open My Computer or Documents?
Answer» I am running Windows ME and every time I try to open My computer I get a error SFG38BA.DLL. I cannot access anything on Windows Explorer. Any suggestions?run this >http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/Thanks for the help, but it did not work. I EVEN did system restore and this did not help. When I click on My Computer I keep getting the error SFG.38BA.DLL I cannot find any info anywhere on this error. Anyone had a similar problem on Windows Me with opening Explorer or My Computer?no it may seem like a TROJAN to me....did you disable system restore before running stinger?you should do...i dont use system restore ...thats where all the bugs lurk? either right click on it and find more info on the dll file...also you could try spysweeper from webroot .comI NEVER get around to using System Recovery. My problems are serious enough to format. Not to mention when you donot have any problems, System Recovery causes one: unnecessary disk usage.... think maybe the 'unecesasry disk usage' is product of the installtion/restore using compressed files, which it expands, then FAILS to clean up the disk after the installtion/reload is completed ,,, I try to always run defragment before AND after any major install ...... I have never noticed any installation program which cleans up after itself... like a puppy not yet housebroken ....

The tools you have mentioned will run only in windows. I want a tool which can run at bootup (start up) time in DOS mode. I mean a tool which can collect important information from BIOS. Not a manual procedure Secondly, I need information from BIOS like computer name, PROCESSOR type, memory, TOTAL disk space.... I need those information in the form of a report, can be .txt or .html or any format. If the tool (.exe or .com or .bat) can be used to get basic system information from BIOS and which can run in DOS mode, then I can use the same tool to get system details from not only windows machines but also from other OS based PCs say Linux.... Thatz my idea to maintain by Lab machines. Friends help me in this REGARD. I hope your co-operation will be there for me.

12664.	Solve : How can we check existence of a USB device?
Answer» HELLO everyone,,, My PC has a USB port connecting to an HID machine. After restarting SEVERAL times, the HID will disappear and can't be shown in Device Manager. What I want to do is to write a program to restart the PC, check EXISTENCE of that HID and show the restarting count in CASE of HID disappearing. My question is how I can check existence of an HID in Visual C++....What is an HID? Human Interface Device...thank Bill Gates for the terminology...What, keyboard, mouse, trackball, touchpad, etc? They all qualify...thats why inventing that term is dumber than a sack of hammers...Microsoft supplies a program called USBview to diagnose this type of problem might be worth a look. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/usbview Or another OPTION is https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html Both programs will give information of what is causing the device not to load.

12670.	Solve : fail on int 24?
Answer» when i removed windows and try to install new windows xp i get this error (invalid system disk) and try to install it in dos prompt error (fail on int 24) appearSounds like an ancient machine to me...On computers old or new, MS-DOS INT 24 error MEANS a CRITICAL error has occurred, probably failure to write to disk. It is usually followed by the prompt (ABORT, RETRY, IGNORE). Possible causes: Hardware failure (hard disk drive or controller), hard disk cable faulty or loose, hard disk incorrectly partitioned. Other possibilty: ancient (reported 1992) MS-DOS virus ("Green JOKER") has infested every .com file in MS-DOS boot media. This is less likely given that the Windows installer also fails. I know I'm many years late to the party here, but I had this INT 24 problem with my 5 1/4 drive. I tried different floppy cables, different 5 1/4 drives, disabling drivers. It drove me crazy for hours. The one thing I didn't change? The actual floppy disk. Once I found a 5 1/4 floppy disk which actually worked, the "fail on INT 24" problem went away. Hope this HELPS someone.

12671.	Solve : Ryzen 3600 + b450 tomahawk mobo?
Answer» So I’m trying to flash my bios using the usb flashback feature. I only have the cpu and atx power in. No cpu or any parts are CONNECTED. The FILE is have is the v19 one and RENAMED as MSI.ROM after extracting to 4gb usb STOCK. When I try to flash the bios. I PLUG in the usb at the back and then press the flash button. But there’s no ref light blinking. Instead the light on my memory stick starts blinking. Then if I remove the stick whilst it is blinking the light near the flash button turns on and doesn’t blink. When I put the usb in whilst the light wasn’t blinking. The usb doesn’t blink too. Is my usb updating the bios or no? Before I thought that the light from the mobo was being displayed through the usb stock so i let the usb stick keep on blinking for 15 min but it still was blinking after this time so I stopped it.?help me pls. Cannot flash a BIOS without a CPU in place...sorry.

12674.	Solve : Xp media pkg 2 help?
Answer» Looking for advice I decided to revive my Dell Inspiron E1505 media package 2 which was pre installed. My end game would be to connect to the internet and use excel on it. I did not know xp went dark. Is there a way to have a newer version of windows installed and get the laptop working again? Side note I have wireless connected but no internet browser. Is this because of windows xp?Anything later than XP isn't likely to run particularly well on a E1505. You might "get away" with it for your tasks as long as you have the system maxed out with 2GB of RAM, but you would need to purchase a license and it doesn't seem LIKE it would work AUTOMATICALLY- you'd need to tinker with several drivers. XP only "went dark" in that the OS no longer receives security updates from Microsoft. So if it doesn't start or has a black screen that isn't RELATED to any support changes. I have a few SYSTEMS running XP and they are both FULLY capable of web browsing and using applications.

12663.	Solve : Installing XP to a blank HD?
Answer» I would like to put XP on an older computer. I'm not sure if it's a copy or an original disk. The mobo is an (MSIK9VGM-AM2 VIA Micro ATX) in a case. How do you do this and get around the problem of the registration (30 days) ? I should mention that the hard drive will probably be about 250gb since this will be a MUSIC machine with a lot of WAV files and old programs on it on it. Any information you have would be greatly appeciated. Thanks for your time If the old case has a sticker from Microsoft with XP product KEY, you're good to go. If not, don't even try. It is VIOLATION of copyright to use XP without proper registration. But you can use Linux Ubuntu and it would be suitable music machine. https://www.expertreviews.co.uk/software/operating-systems/1404547/top-5-lightweight-linux-distros-for-older-pcs They haven't been here since FEBRUARY...Hopefully, the machine is old enough that it doesn't use a SATA hard drive. The XP installer does not have drivers for and cannot handle installation to a SATA drive, machine will actually crash during install. If you have the SATA driver on a floppy disk (no other MEDIUM) then you can insert it at the correct time and the installer will install it. The other method would be to slipstream the SATA drivers onto the installer disk. *sigh*Sorry, missed that... No worries strollin...

Answer» I need to KNOW how to remove windows 98 and windows 2000 as I also have xp on my computer and it is running very slowly.....please helpIf you installed them all on seperate harddisks/partitions you can format each PARTITION. However, Windows XP can be uninstalled by using the Add/Remove software list. I donot know if that goes for Windows 98 or Windows 2000.

Answer» I have a compaq presario r3000 laptop. The operating systemXP cushed and I reset it with a clean reinstallation but I could not get connection to the internet. It was SP2 and I installed SP3 and then the MAXTHON5 browser, but the PERFORMANCE was not acceptable and I upgraded from 512 MB to 2 GB. the surfing performance improved to an acceptable level but the music audio is still defective, with frequent pauses of about half a second and some distorsion. SOMETIMES I get the pop-up to install new updates, I THINK described as java7 updates, but NOTHING can be done if I try to install them. I appreciate any information on how I can improve the quality of the music audio to at least an acceptable level.

I installed the drivers with the supplied drivers CD after resetting the OS windows XP with a clean installation, but I could not connect to the internet.

12680.	Solve : Trouble rebuilding old Bare Bones Laptop ASUS C90S winXP from 2007'ish!?
Answer» I am currently running XP Pro sp3 build 2600; 3GB RAM. When I attempt to install drivers for my audio and video cards, the installs fail because the installer can't find compatible hardware. It is always the same, whichever drivers I try and that includes the ones from the original driver install disk. Audio: I have Realtek audio of some sort, but at the moment I am having trouble locating exact info. Whenever I reboot, new hardware wizard attempts to help me install software for "Audio DEVICE on High Definition Audio Bus", but all paths lead to failure. (the original disks simply provides install driver failure message, as does V-R1.70 and recent driver for XP, R274 gives error: 0x0000227) Video: I have Nvidia 8600m GT 512 MXM2 However all attempts to upgrade driver end in error or failure. The OEM driver says it can't locate any drivers compatible with my hardware. Whichever, Drivers I attempt to install, (old and older) will fail with this same message. If I open sys info: components\sound device - says "unimodem 1/2 duplex audio device" with some additional info components\display - this section is completely blank. However, there is a listing in problem devices - "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)" If I upgrade to Windows 7, then all audio problems are solved and a proper entry will be listed in "sysinfo". I don't RECALL of hand, but it shows that it has realtek and audio works. Unfortunately, the video after driver upgrade is unstable and crashes the machine. There are old posts about incompatibilities with this video card and win7 (error10), that had me running vbs scripts, ect. but nothing helped. In the end win7 ran so slow with my 3 big gb of RAM that I decided to give XP a try. The notable difference is that with Win7 after install I have entries in sys info and am able to upgrade drivers, but with XP this is not the case. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Are you using the drivers from the ASUS website? It appears to list the drivers for Windows XP. Unusual t hat the original Driver install disk doesn't work, but It may be that the provided installation was Vista at the time and therefore has Vista drivers on the disc so cannot find the drivers for XP.I have tried the drivers listed on Asus Web site. They will not install... MANY of the oem drivers still work. This has always been an XP system. I ran it for a while on win7. I have difficulty finding a browser that will allow me to connect to microsoft for any support, if ANYTHING could even be available. I am running IE8, but can't really do much with it. I can do a little more browsing with UC Browser, but neither will help me access any support. I am not really concerned with opening email or surfing the web, I just wanna run a few old programs. It seems right now my pc is unable to recognize my sound and video cards in a way that win7 easily sees them. Unfornately, with win7 Video crashes (screen black, machine would still seem to be running) and on win7 the machine runs to sluggish to be easily dealt with; Browser issues, JAVA troubles, ect. So, that's why I was trying with to go back to XP. Thank you for your input.

Answer» my microsoft explorer keeps CANCELING out and closing... so the task bar and icons disapear off the desktop... i dont know how to fix it.. it just pops us explorer error, with the close or details buttons... then i have to restart in order to open any programs, as soon as i open something it all closes... what do i do to fix it... i have windows 98, hewlett packard pavilion..?? please help!Did you install the latest security updates? Scan for viruses, trojans and spyware.i did a norton virus scan a few days ago and this started happening after, i deleted the bad files... i also have 2 weird programs in my ctrl+alt+del menu... they are called Rnaapp and Ccapp, i cant get rid of them... please help!!I am not certain, but I donot believe you would want to remove those. I suggest you go to the Viruses & Spyware section and read the 'Please Read This First - Viruses & Spyware' sticky for more information. This may help you solve your problem.ccApp is an important part of the protection that Norton AntiVirus (NAV) or Norton Internet Security (NIS) provides and should not be disabled at startup. ccApp.exe is the common hosting application that is used by both NAV and NIS. It calls the different program features in NAV and NIS. For example, in NAV, if Auto-Protect and Email Scanning are enabled, then ccApp.exe makes sure that those programs are running. If ccApp is disabled, then Auto-Protect and Email Scanning will not run. Rnaapp is part of DUN (dial up networking). Some programs that access the internet will load it, whether it is needed or not. You use task manager to "end task" without doing any harm as long as you are not connected through a MODEM. Odds are that it will just be RELOADED if you have a modem and a program requests a connection.just wondered if you are using internet explorer six?if so uninstall it?no i do not have internet explorer 6... i use aol... but when the illegal error message is on the screen i can still open and use any programs, but if i CANCEL the window then the taskbar and icons disapear... so what should i do to fix this error message??? please help, thanks!The problem is windows explorer, not IE. Sometimes, but not always, the problem will go away if you do a cold reboot. When you use "restart", windows does not clear everything out of memory. Use "shutdown", then turn of the POWER to the computer. Wait at least 30 seconds, then power back on. If you have Norton System Works, run Win Doctor.i tried the cold reboot, it didnt work.. i also tried a scanreg/ thing... but nothing has worked! please help... the windows explorer says it has preformed an illegal operation, and you can open programs but then in order to use them u must close the explorer. The ctrl+alt+del menu doesnt work unless the explorer is closed.... please help!ok here is the options in the cotrol panel...go to the add/remove icon click it....then scroll down the list and click m$oft internet explorer..click it...and then click remove ...dont panic...a splash screen will appear it may say repair internet explorer...or there is this link>http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=249191its not my internet explorer that is broken, its my microsoft explorer, the taskbar at he bottom of the page disappears after i have to close it... should i still fix or whatever the internet explorer>>whoops got my wires crossed try this try deleting \Windows\Shelliconcache this is a cache file for icons it can cause these types of errors if it gets corruptedWindows will re-create it upon reboot. ok... ok, i would love to do whatever u told me, but im not sure how to get into the computer cache to delete that, or whatever, so if u could elaborate it would help, thanks!!!this is almost the exact thing that was/is happening to my computer (windows ME).. I would try to open internet explorer, but then a prompt would come up informing me that it was causing an error in unknown. "Ok.. close it" then it would prompt me again saying that the winodw was busy, and that closing it MAY cause problems. Minimizing or maximizing would look as though it was moving to BELOW my cpu clock. Norton couldnt find anything, and ad-aware couldnt finish its deletion process... Honestly, I dont know what do do, so as of right onow, I'm formatting my hard drive in an attempt to reinstall win98... but for some reason I foresee problem with this action.... any help is appreciatedthe both of you have problems related to nav it seems i dumped mine and got a free one anti virus program?emily can you take win2k dummys advice and run win doctor it was silly of me to suggest that you to play with your reg?...can you plaese bth of you post the error messages....thanks..

12686.	Solve : Isolating a winXP machine from the network.?
Answer» So im got a freebie the other day and im going to stick XP it, mainly for retro gaming. What i want to know, is the best way to isolate the MACHINE from the other computers on the network. Im not at all fussed about the xp machine becoming infected, and might actually intentionally infect it for a BIT of fun a virus related nostalgia, but obviously need it to be isolated from the other machines. Has anyone done this and got any tips? Im guessing its just a case of setting up a firewall on the xp machine to prevent any outgoing CONNECTIONS to the other machines? Cheers. Hi Just don't attach it to the network, if you need to use it on the internet then PUT it on wireless. Then setup a guest network on your modem/router and only attach the XP to the guest network. The Guest network on a modem/router only has ACCESS to the internet not the other computers on the network.

We are doing a hard drive retention for the legal DEPARTMENT and one of the steps is to put the accounts from a hard drive into a spreadsheet. It is one drive to a LINE, the accounts into one cell in that line, number of accounts can range from 1 to almost 200 depending on the use of the computer.
