Guest annonymous Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I have problem with my computer running windows xp home. I have reinstalled windows many times in last 2 weeks and during this I also opted for the complete format (not the quick one) of Hard drive but after a day or two computer again stops working showing a blue screen and telling that windows have shut down to prevent some damage and from here it doesn't boot anymore. Some body told me that I would have to format Hard drive by DOS. Can anybody please tell me how. Remember that currently computer is not in bootable stage. thanks.

Guest R. McCarty Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Re: How to completely clean hard drive so that no virus or malware is I'd stop formatting & re-installing XP. Next time the machine BSODs write down the codes that are presented. With that information you can determine what is the cause of the stops. Unless you have another physical drive in the machine with data, it's not likely a fresh install is infected. This assumes you have AntiVirus on the computer. When you capture the BSOD, post the stop code 0X________ here and someone will help you isolate the problem.

Guest Anteaus Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 RE: How to completely clean hard drive so that no virus or malware is Firstly, are you sure this isn't a hardware problem? It sounds more like it. Possibly the HD itself, the PSU, or the mobo's disk-controller chip. Assuming a virus, if you have formatted the disk but the virus returned then it may be that you didn't clean the MBR. Do this by booting witha DOS disk and typing FDISK /MBR Alternatively, it may be that the virus has reinstated itself from removable media. You need to practice a thorough disinfection of all possible sources. To clean a disk completeley I generally use Ranish Partition Manager. The "E" option will fill a partition with zeros. Although it would be unusual for a virus to survive a format UNLESS it's an MBR type. "annonymous" wrote: > I have problem with my computer running windows xp home.

Please describe your problems in detail.Especially what is the error code shown on the blue screen. Another possibility is that you are experiencing a hardware problem, not a Windows one. > Remember that currently computer is not in bootable > stage. thanks. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup

I will check the hardware first like: - System Get overheated or Thermal component burnt (or dust accumelated ) - Defective RAM - Going bad HDD - Losse Connectors - Power supply specially fromthe Motherboard to the Power supply check for burning Connector. Try a Full format/Clean install. HTH, nass --- http://www.nasstec.co.uk

Guest R. McCarty Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Re: How to completely clean hard drive so that no virus or malware Re: How to completely clean hard drive so that no virus or malware This error is usually associated with a disk operation. The number of possible causes is fairly long. It could be a defective drive or the controller that hosts the drive. Along with that it may be a BIOS setting or the BIOS requires a firmware update to address a known issue. One diagnostic that may help is to download the drive vendor's diagnostics disk. This is usually bootable and will run tests on the disk to verify that it is not defective and reliable. Depending on which type of interface you may have a defective cable ( SATA or PATA ). There are too many variables to give you a definitive suggestion on what is wrong. After the amount of time you've spent on it, it may be time to take the machine to a small/reputable computer repair shop.

However, you've carefully left out any details that might have help us guide you in the correct direction. Generically: Start with testing the RAM. You might try MemTest86: http://www.memtest86.com/ It's free. Then you can download and use the hard drive manufacturer's diagnostic utility to test the hard drive. If both RAM and hard drive test out clean, check with the motherboard manufacturer for any diagnostic utilities. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. ~ Denis Diderot

"The Stop 0x7A message indicates that a page of kernel data was not found in the paging (virtual memory) file and could not be read into memory. This might be due to incompatible disk or controller drivers, firmware, or hardware." The second and third parameters point directly to bad RAM (or possibly bad disk cache). Do you have more than 4GB of RAM? The base address translates to 4,179,195,786.
