I have a new hard drive as my old one experienced problems with chkdsk. This new drive is a hitachi from pc world. The drive refuses to defrag the system partition/c:? It hangs whilst being analysed on %20 also hangs on a straight defrag at the same point? I've tried using the trial disk keeper software. This hangs on %30? Maybe im being to impatient but the system appears to lock up completely? Is there a know solution to this problem? Any advice most welcome.

Recovering an uninitialized NTFS hard disk
by Guest Poldie- 1 reply

I booted from my XP SP2 CD to try and perform scandisk on a drive. (I couldn't defrag it because there was some problem or other which Windows suggested I run scandisk to fix). The PC loaded up the drivers etc, but then the PC rebooted. Great. Even better, now, my other 300gb drive is showing as "not initialized" and "unallocated" in the Computer Management tool. This has happened before, and I fixed it by initializing it, then running some freeware app to recover files, which it sort of did, although it couldn't get everything back, but it was mostly ok. I have no idea why this happens. It doesn't seem to be something which I can find references to on th…

Recently, my computer has been giving me error messages with these programs listed in the subject. Web browsing has been working fine. At first, I thought it was my wireless router but I connected to multiple different connections over the past few days and it's still giving me the same messages. I can't figure it out. Help?

MS Search is problematic?
by Guest MapleE.- 0 replies

Hi: Since last week or so, when I click one of tiny box with picture on the right pane, the site comes right away. Afterwards, I clicked the word on the left-pane, I am NOT able to access the site. There is only part of the desired site that is useless to access. Wonder whether MS Search/Live Search with Google got screwed-up or some transition to change? I only access the desired site by clicking tiny boxes/picture on the right-pane. In the past, I could easily access any sites by clicking either the word of the left-pane or a tiny picture on the right-pane. Any help would be truly appreciated.

WMP11 and Sysprep HotFix
by Guest Zachary Dundore- 1 reply
- 85 views
I have a know issue with Windows XP that I am working around right now. Sysprep won't work on an image with Windows Media Player 11 on it. Right now I am working around it by keeping Media player 11 off of all of our images but this is not ideal. I know that if you choose the mini-setup option on sysprep it runs fine, but this is a pain since there are many more steps to the sysprep process when you run it with the mini-setup option. I would like to be able to leave WMP11 on our corporate images and not have to run the mini-setup to run sysprep. Has Microsoft come up with a hotfix to the sysprep program, or to WMP11?

How do I stop that low-memory on the disk reminder popping up regularly? This is a logical disk and XP should not bother about free space on it
