Solve : Buddy's PC Won't Recognise System Disk? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hi, I am attempting to reboot Windows ME onto my friend's crashed PC that was running Win 98 (90% sure it was win 98). The method of installation was through CD-Rom. The computer was searching the floppy drive for system files, but not the CD ROM drive. The Boot Sequence would only display this one prompt, and nothing else:<br/><br/>{Non-System Disk or Disk Error. Replace and strike any key when ready.}<br/><br/> I can't get past this screen on that computer. The computer that i'm using RIGHT NOW is my friend's only working computer, and it has no floppy drive to load the Windows AutoRun Files or Boot-Up Files. I tried forcing the non-working computer to read CD Rom only, by disconnecting the Floppy Disk Drive, and I have no clue if it read the CD Rom or if it was just making a loud noise. - I PULLED UP THE CD ROM CONTENTS ON THIS [WORKING] COMPUTER AND I NOTICED AN AUTO-RUN FILE .TXT FORMAT FOR NOTEPAD FILE AND ALSO AN AUTORUN FOLDER, WHICH CONTAINS TWO FILES, ONE WAS DESCRIBED AS AN AUTO-RUN PROGRAM IN PROPERTIES, BUT I DON"T EVEN KNOW IF THESE FILES ARE CAPAPABLE OF AUTOMATICALLY INSTALLING THE NEW OS FROM THE BOOT SEQUENCE THAT IT WON'T LET ME GET PAST!!!- If that makes sense. Do I need a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/different-951434" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DIFFERENT">DIFFERENT</a> auto-run file from the internet, is it a hardware issue, is there a way to (while in this boot sequence) switch to the cd rom drive as the boot-up disk for OS installation, and last but not least- is there a way to enter safe mode without any OS???? (I'm assuming the OS is non-existent, and further assuming that it has crashed) I can't even be sure if the OS crashed or not, because the boot sequence will only display that one prompt about a disk reading error (mentioned earlier). And the disk should be fine, it's just a backup i made of the original ME Os Startup Disk I have (but unfortunately misplaced). I need some expertise please- and if possible, a list of different troubleshooting methods that would work for multiple different scenarios (<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/since-644476" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SINCE">SINCE</a> I can't diagnose the problem for sure.) Could it have to do with hardware, software, or maybe both? I have so many questions, and would appreciate any sort of bone that could be thrown my way. <br/>Thank You<br/><br/>Oh and by the way, I was not yelling in the ALL-CAPS text above; I'm just a tiny bit frustrated and am on the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/verge-726091" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VERGE">VERGE</a> of scrapping the project and boxing the computer back up.<br/><br/><br/>thanks a million!!!!i believe i am lacking the boot software for the installation, so i checked microsoft downloads page, and they only have one for XP. Is there somewhere else to download the boot files for ME?<a href="http://www.bootdisk.com">www.bootdisk.com</a> for whatever you <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/might-560522" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MIGHT">MIGHT</a> need.

Quote</p><blockquote>I have two hard discs in my PC. one 20GB and the other 200GB. The 20GB capacity Disc is &#8216;C&#<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/aeuroe8217aeur-1474538" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 8217">8217</a>; and is totally devoted to Windows XP Professional and all installed programs. <br/><br/>According to Windows Explorer, &#8216;C&#8217; has 11.30 GB used space and 7.28 GB free space for a total of 18.58 GB useful space.<br/><br/>According to Windows Explorer too, total occupancy of all programs installed in &#8216;C&#8217; accounts for 7.101 GB.<br/><br/>So what is the difference of 4.199 GB devoted to?<br/><br/>Why do I not have this space available?<br/><br/>I checked my daughter's PC (one hard disc only) and there is a discrepancy too.</blockquote> <br/><br/>First of all there is a difference between the manufacturer's Metric sizing and the binary size after formatting.<br/><br/>The 20 GB drive is actually 18.6264514923 GB (18·63 GB) giving an initial 'difference' of 1.37 GB<br/><br/>11·30 + 7·28 = 18·58 , and , 20 - 18·58 = 1·42<br/><br/>System Restore hidden files probably.<br/><br/>The 200 GB drive will be 186.26 GB binary.The industry standard for 1GB is 1024MB. <br/>Some manufacturers use a shortened specification of 1000MB so you would lose a chunk of size.<br/><br/>Also your hard drive is 200GB from new, but when you format it you use a portion of the space for the Master Boot Record, Drive Mapping and recording of where the data is stored. A bit like an indices of where your data is when you save it.<br/><br/>If you take a floppy 3.5". From the factory it is 2.12..ish MB but when formatted for use it's 1.44MB.<br/><br/>Your hard drive is larger and so loses, in relation to it's size, that same amount of space.Yes, my calculations are based on an available of 18.58GB for the "supposed" 20GB Disk 'C'.<br/><br/>Before making those calculations I selected the option for displaying ALLfiles <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/including-773415" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about INCLUDING">INCLUDING</a> the hidden ones and I added up all them.<br/><br/>It's for me hard to believe that could be Sytem Restore hidden files <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/taking-1238585" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TAKING">TAKING</a> over 4.2GB of useful space.<br/><br/>If this were the case, is it possible to move them to other disk or to delete at least some of them?What are the makes and models, or are they both the same?

Solve : XP reinstall failure.? |

Solve : Laptop partition? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hi Group,<br/><br/>Can you help ?<br/>My friend has an 40 gig Acer laptop which we have discovered has 2 x 20 gig drives one is "C" and the other "D"<br/>D is empty and C is nearly full.<br/>How do we get the 2 seperate drives to be just 1 as is normal.<br/>He has bought a 40 gig portable hard drive (USB)<br/>It is an XP system and the supplier says they don't even open the boxes. Why would Acer sell laptops like this ?<br/><br/><br/>Best wishes<br/><br/><br/>Dave Edwards<br/>Hello Dave. Are these...<br/><br/>1. Two separate physical drives or...<br/>2. Is this one physical drive partitioned into two?<br/><br/>Have you considered moving the My Documents folder and email folder to the D: drive so that your data and operating system are separated?<br/><br/>It is more usual to partition a drive, when you have sufficient experience.Dave:<br/><br/>You may use the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/windows-22662" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WINDOWS">WINDOWS</a> XP disk managment <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/utility-772057" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about UTILITY">UTILITY</a> to determine if it is one hard drive or two.<br/><br/>DocHi group,<br/><br/>It says it is one 40 gig drive.(37.?)<br/>in computer management.<br/>It list then C as approx 20 and D as approx 20 and system as 3<br/>I do not think Acer should supply like this <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/unless-774664" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about UNLESS">UNLESS</a> requested. My friend is a total beginner and I helped buy it in May. I would have had no reason to believe it would be partitioned.

But would it join the C automatically.<br/><br/><br/>Best wishes<br/><br/><br/>DavePersonally I always make two partitions on a Windows box. The second is great for data storage, etc. for when you format and have to reinstall Windows on the C drive. (And you will have to reinstall Windows eventually!)I'm sure I can hear a Pengiun singing....<br/>"What about me"? Quote</p><blockquote>Hi group,<br/><br/>It says it is one 40 gig drive in computer management.<br/>It list then C as approx 20 GB and D as approx 20 GB and system as 3 GB (?)<br/><br/>I do not think Acer should supply like this unless requested.

But would it join the C automatically?<br/><br/>Best wishes,<br/><br/>Dave</blockquote> <br/><br/>40 GB (Metric size) = 37.25 GB (Binary size)<br/><br/>System as 3? Do you mean that there is 3 GB used on the System volume C: or is there only 3 GB free-space on C: ?<br/><br/>If you look carefully you will see if D: is sitting inside an Extended Partition shown by a green outline.<br/><br/>You would need to delete D: and then delete the Extended partition first of all and then use a reliable partition re-sizer to extend C: the full size of the drive.<br/><br/>If it was me I would move the My Documents and Email folders to the D: drive and see what space is left on C: then shrink the C: drive down to a reasonable size, make the Extended partition larger and then increase the size of the D: drive and make a drive image of the C: drive.<br/><br/>Say...<br/><br/>[10 GB C:]{[27 GigaByte Logical drive D:]}<br/><br/>Where 10 GB = 10240 MB, and { & } is the extent of the Extended partition.<br/><br/>As it is...<br/><br/>[20 GigaByte drive C:]{[20 GigaByte drive D:]}<br/><br/>Delete drive D:<br/><br/>[20 GigaByte drive C:]{---------------------}<br/><br/>Delete the Extended partition...<br/><br/>[20 GigaByte drive C:]<br/><br/>And make drive C: bigger...<br/><br/>[ 37.25 GigaByte Primary C: as one partition]<br/>Hi Mac,<br/><br/>Thanks for trhe comprehensive reply.<br/>Don't know how to make an image of the C which is what we are afraid of. Could we do it on the 40gig portable hard drive I have bought him. We are at the momentg putting anyrthing large and important on to it.<br/>Photos etc.Don't know how to make C drive larger after deleting the unwanted D. It would seem the best answer.<br/>Will the windows XP system stay ok on the C drive whilst this is going on or will i be with the image<br/>The Empty D is green surrounded. I thought it best to at least keep that free of anything and transfer anything important to the portable drive.<br/>Thanks for helping.<br/><br/><br/>Best wishes<br/><br/><br/>DaveHi Mac again,<br/><br/>Is the last bit of your letter an alternative way of dealing with the situation.<br/>I know how to delete the D drive which is empty.<br/>How do I delete the extended partition ?<br/>How do I increase the size of the C drive to 37.?<br/><br/>Would be an ideal way of getting what we want<br/><br/>Best wishes<br/><br/><br/>DaveRight-click on the D: drive and choose 'Delete Logical drive' then right-click on the Extended partition and choose 'Delete Extended partition'.<br/><br/>You will need a partition re-sizer such as is incorporated in BootIT NG (See links below) to increase the size of the C: drive or, if you make a drive image using Image For Windows first, you can delete the C: drive in the same way as above and make a new one using the full size of the hard-disk.<br/><br/>But you - cannot - do that from Windows, you would have to use the XP CD to make the new partition and FULL format the drive, and when the install starts stop the install and commence restoring the drive image.<br/><br/>Drive imaging is a whole subject on its own and you can download the manuals from the TeraByte Unlimited site, if I remember. If not then download the trial version, unzip them, and you'll find a .pdf Instruction Manual.<br/><br/>If you make an image first with IFW or IFD so that your install is safe and then use BootIT NG's resizer you may be pleasantly surprised if it works for you.<br/><br/>It should be alright (no guarantees) as you only have the single primary. Disconnect from the internet and uninstall the anti-virus program before re-sizing.<br/><br/>You do NOT need to install BootIT NG so skip the install screens and go to the Partition Work button.<br/><br/>For US$ I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/paid-1145567" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PAID">PAID</a> for BootIT NG, with its Partition Resizer, Image for Windows (IFW) and Image for DOS (IFD).<br/><br/>Very good value for money with excellent support and frequent updates.<br/><br/>BootIT NG and IFD both run from a bootdisk. Note the time limitation for use of the trial version.</body></html> | |

I am sure that it is not a problem with my MC500 Neuston music center, and the problem has only started sice installing the Netgear SC101. BTW I have contact Netgear, and I am on a 10 day wait before they look at at. I did manage to found out that the file that could be causing the crash is made by dataplow, incorporate and that it is a SAN File SYSTEM (SfS) what ever that is and the File version is 3.41, so I have sent an email off to them and they have asked for a memory dump which I have supplied, so i am waiting to hear from them.

Solve : Help with installing Linux while keeping windows? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hi,<br/><br/>how do i install Linux onto my windows XP machine without affecting my windows?<br/><br/>Honestly, i've never done partitioning before. I was wondering if anyone would be kind to show me a step-by-step guidelines as to partition my harddisk so that i can install linux as well as having all of my windows settings or data intact.<br/><br/>Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanceAre you starting completely from scratch?Use Partition Magic for partitioning and GRUB for dual booting.<br/><br/>For PM: <a href="http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html">http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html</a><br/><br/>and <br/><br/>For GRUB <a href="http://www.webtree.ca/newlife/using_partition_magic_5.htm">http://www.webtree.ca/newlife/using_partition_magic_5.htm</a>If you are using a blank hard drive, or one that could be, partition and put in Windows first. Then install Linux in the empy space not included in that. Linux will install it's own boot loader. Be sure and leave a fair amount of space available for each. Don't try to squeeze Linux in a 2 gig partition and expect to have an enjoyable experience.<br/><br/>By the way, if you can list your specific hardware and Linux distro we may be <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/able-361137" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ABLE">ABLE</a> to offer some advice, if your mind is not made up.Hi guys, thank you for your reply.<br/><br/>Yes, i'd like to install the Fedora linux onto my Fujitsu laptop that has 60G <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/memory-11894" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MEMORY">MEMORY</a>, 1.6GHz, 512M RAMs. It's got the windows XP already so i guess i need to create a new partition for Fedora. I need what's called dual boot system. However, my concern is that this is going to be my very first time to do any partition on a hard disk. Not sure if Fedora is smart enough to find itself some room in the hard disk without affecting windows.<br/><br/>My other concern is that say the fedora is already installed, then i need to reboot the computer. Can i get to choose which OS i want it to run on? or is it automatically boot up linux? Just to be careful about this(of course i'll make a backup <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/copy-25621" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COPY">COPY</a> of my important files before getting down into this business).<br/><br/>Thank you very much in advance and look forward to hearing from you.Fedora will have it's own boot loader. You will get a screen showing which operating system you want to load. <br/><br/>If your hard disk is all one big partition as it usually is, then you will either need to reload windows after making the hard drive into a smaller partition, leaving room for Linux in the empty space OR you need to use some kind of partition management software such as Partition Magic, etc. I don't remember if Fedora has this built in (QTPartEd o womething <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/similar-1207900" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SIMILAR">SIMILAR</a>).<br/><br/>How did you decide on Fedora? Some of those distributions have <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/live-543270" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LIVE">LIVE</a> CD so that you can take it for a test spin first and see if everything is compatible. As manufacturer's are honed in to the Windows audience sometimes that CAN be a problem.<br/><br/>Have you ever run Linux before? You may want to try the Linspire 5.0 Live CD a try. It is the most Windows like. You may also want to look at Knoppix. They just boot from your CDROM without writing anything to the hard drive.<br/><br/><br/><a href="http://iso.linuxquestions.org/distro.php?distro=58">http://iso.linuxquestions.org/distro.php?distro=58</a><br/><br/><br/><a href="http://iso.linuxquestions.org/distro.php?distro=5">http://iso.linuxquestions.org/distro.php?distro=5</a></p></body></html> | |

Do you have applications that are currently in the background? PS. Make sure your update speed is on fastest not normal so it wont seem like spiking all the time.oh thank God for the quick reply! you guys are the best!<br/><br/>how do i make sure the update speed is in the fastest and not normal?<br/>i already checked the processes and its seems normal to me, theres no foreign process and theres no process that is superhigh on its mem usage. <br/><br/>ok here i got some more info. here are the list of the security softwares im running, kaspersky antivirus ver 5 (realtime protection), outpost firewall, trojan hunter (trojan hunter <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/guard-1013895" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GUARD">GUARD</a> enabled), ad-aware, spyguard,spyware blaster and spybot S&D and counter spy ver 1.5 (active protection enabled). ive been running this programs for quite a while now and in the past they have been consistent,giving me no problems at all.<br/><br/>oh..isnt this problem a common one? i dunno..im getting a bit worried now.<br/><br/>as i noticed the spikes turned relatively low now, but then when i opened the counterspy 1.5 it the cpu usage went crazy again flying up and down the screen! but this is the 1st time this <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/happened-482146" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HAPPENED">HAPPENED</a>, im using the CS 1.5 for 5 days now and for the past 4 days everythings normal. im not sure if its the CS of the Spybot. i really havent got a clue.<br/>maybe the CS is the one whos causing the problem because i have it only for 5 days now.and its the one who is new to my security arsenal.<br/><br/>(should i uninstall CS and Spybot?) what do you think? maybe i could use Hijackthis log to show you guys more info bout whats happening in my computer? (i havnt used that yet but maybe il figure it out if i needed to use that). Indeed thank you so much. hope you guys can stick around til i solve what the *censored* is wrong with my computer. i rely on your expertise to solve my problem as i have no where to run to. Thanks again, you help is greatly appreciated. Godbless you.oh. ive set my update speed now to high and its still spiking! its still going crazy like *censored*!<br/><br/> oh..boy. what to do?! <br/><br/>thanks again for your help.CPU usage only spikes when there are background applications running. Ex. The windows you see Windows Task Manager uses alot of CPU well I have a 466mhz so it is alot for me. When you run an application or have applications that are providing real time protection it can cause the CPU on the screen to go up. THe refresh rate on it <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/must-1702064" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MUST">MUST</a> be on normal so that is why you see the sudden jump so high. Also note while doing anything when you have task manger running can cause it to spike. As long as you are not opening and running applications and it does not stay at 100 % CPU for more then a minute everything should be fine.<br/>thanks windows 98 for your time and help. i really appreciate that you took the time to help me out with this. thanks man.<br/><br/>i found whats causing it, its a bug in the CS ver1.5. and everything is cool now. thanks windows 98. i didnt know how to look at the taskmanager properly the 1st time thats why i cant find whats causing the spikes from *censored*, now i know. thanks again. and im sorry i known that earlier i shouldnt bothered you. thanks again. <br/><br/>Godbless good souls like you. keep up the good work man, keep helping people like me. we desperately need some1 like you.</p></body></html> | |
