Blue screen error CANNOT ACCESS HARD DRIVE SPACE

I'm trying to install windows xp after removing windows 8 of my computer and creat new partition using the boot disk windows 98se, fdisk, but the installation during windows startup I get in trouble when get a blue error message screen telling
"YOUR COMPUTER'S STARTUP PROGRAM CANNOT ACCESS THE DISK THAT CONTAINS THE PARTITION FREE SPACE, YOU CHOOSE. CANNOT INSTALL WINDOWS XP ON THIS HARD DRIVE. »
Image of the screen available message if necessary. There is no error due to this error code.
Please help me to solve the problem, and I'll be really thankful to you.
Kind regards

First of all, you need not use a setup of Windows 98 to work partition disk before installing Windows XP, Setup of Windows XP has the tools to do this job.

Windows XP Setup cannot see the hard drive as it doesn't have drivers for the SATA controller on board.  To install Windows XP you must go into the BIOS and put the hard drive in IDE mode you will need to integrate the SATA drivers in the XP installation CD, or you need to feed them to the Windows XP Installer with a floppy using the F6 method drive.

Your new PC does support Windows XP, it has Windows XP drivers available for it?  If this isn't the case, you will have a lot of crying by train to get there.

  • Get blue screen errors. My hard drive died?

    How - to what support - did you back up your drive?

    Is a version of Norton antivirus or security program installed?

    When you use F12 to select boot device, what device were chosen to boot from?

    What happened when you tried to use the CD "OS and recovery?  Please report any error completely, without paraphrasing.

    See the following tips from frequent poster Jose Ibarra:

    For those who STOP: c0000218 error, a chkdsk /r usually will fix you right up and then you will start normally once again, then it will be broken again with the same problem until you run chkdsk /r once again, so you have to work, do what you have to do when you get started - uninstall Norton completely and correctly.

    After the chkdsk/r, you will still be able to boot mode safe but as Norton components not load safe mode and rush through the file system when loading.  Then you can go on the WWW of Norton of the site and use their instructions to get rid of the beast to uninstall...

    Here are some instructions in order to at least run the Recovery Console:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  • 696e647863686b2e 7be error cannot access hard drive.

    A few days ago, I copied all my data on a 1 TB external HARD drive and used Lenovo one key recovery to reset my laptop to its factory settings, because I couldn't move to 8.1. Now when I plugged the hard drive of the laptop to get all my stuff it says an error similar to this every time:
    -H:\ is not accessible. Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
    -Drive not accessible. The parameter is incorrect.
    I checked and found a similar problem on the forums, so I ran chkdsk /F R/x H:

  • Blue screen error caused by display driver igfx

    Origin: the title display driver igfx

    My Toshiba Satellite L305-S5907 started suddenly to do all kinds of crazy stuff, the screen was all distorted and it flickered and then it would break.  Then I had received a message indicating that the screen was confronted with a display driver igfx problem and had been recovered.  This has happened about 5 times and I was trying to see if I could get some info on the help and support page, and then the screen went black.  Now my laptop won't open at all.  I pressed the button 0 and holding it down and then through this recovery process and it will get so far and then a blue screen error appears and says that he is arrested for not to damage my laptop.  It is as far as I can get and it won't let me on my computer to get to the control panel or to download updates.  How can I return to my laptop to download the updates?

    Hi Tempol,

    Since then, you receive a bluescree and unable to boot in normal mode, you can try to boot from the Windows Vista full version installation disc and perform a startup repair.

    If restarting fails, then try a startup to restore the system from the installation disc.

    For more information, you can consult the following articles:

  • Inspiron 6000 - won't start Windows - Blue Screen of Death - the hard drive is Toast! Help me!

    I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 2-1/2 years, with XP Media Center.  Last night at the start, he went to the Blue Screen of Death.  I tried to restart about 10 times, each time by selecting a variety such as 'use last known good Configuration, Safe Mode, Etc.' nothing works.  Get to the point where the windows flag is waving in the wind (may be waving goodbye?) and then hangs at Blue Screen of Death.

    To make matters worse, this is the only hard drive, I have not saved for a few months and I can't seem to find my recovery/boot drive... I swear to you that I made a copy when you are prompted 2-1/2 years ago?

  • Satellite A215-S4757 blue screen & startup failure after HARD drive partitioning

    I just bought a Satellite A215-S4757 a week ago & I tried to divide my hard drive coz, I was only one partion (250 GB) using acronis disk director.

    After that I got the blue screen and now I failed to start and I tried all the options to repair my windows or load in SafeMode to no avail coz it crashes just from the window of microsoft corporation.

    I tried to reinstall windows vista with the cd but still does not!
    pls someone helo me :(

    Hello

    Creator of disc of Acronis does not for me but I know for sure that you can split the capacity of the HARD drive into two partitions with rendering recovery DVDs. Start your laptop with recovery DVDs and check the option to install it.

    You must have a mobile US model. I am from Europe and I don't know about you how it works with the recovery media in the United States, but it should be similar to the European and because of that it must be an option to divide the capacity of the HARD disk with two partitions.

    Please try again. It should work somehow.

  • Cannot access hard drive child

    Hello

    I'm relatively new to VMWare. I had installed a VMWare Server 2 times back. The host OS is Windows Server 2008 64 bit version. I created 2 virtual machines. The guest operating systems were Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, and Windows Server Standard. The host crashed yesterday. I had to reset hard. Once the host has increased, VMWare would not come to the top. I uninstalled VMWare. Help of the positions of the community how to uninstall and delete files, registry clean. Then I installed VMWare server 2 once again. The installation was successful. Now, I created 2 new virtual machines (there is no virtual machine appears in the VMWare server console). The virtual hard drives were available. I connected them to the 2 VMS newly created. Two of them connected. I began VMS and they can be started. But the Windows Server 2003 Standard do not have data on the D: drive. The D: drive is showing all the 165 GB on 165 GB free.

    Then, is not so much known, I tried to connect the hard drive of the child Win2K3Standard - 000001.vmdk to the virtual machine. It could not be connected and I got the error message. After through messages, I came to the conclusion that the good virtual drive to connect is Win2K3Standard.vmdk that corresponds to the parent of reader. This conencts to disk parent, but I think that the virtual machine is not at all to access the child disk.

    The parent disk is about 7.5 GB while the child disk is more than 70 concerts. And unfortunately, I don't have a snapshot backup of the machine. I got the suspicion that there might be something wrong with the machine of the child.

    Please help me.

    The snapshot of course - otherwise repeat you the same mistake.

    Then make sure the vmx has this line

    scsi0:0. FileName = "Windows Server 2003 Standard - 000001.vmdk"

  • E1550 cannot access hard drive NTFS.

    I had already posted about problems with the E1550 is not able to recognize NTFS formatted hard drives.  After several attempts and reformats I was finally able to run and has been able to back up my hard drive NTFS system files.

    Now, little more than a week later I set up to run my backup to run again and once more the E1550 not access the hard drive.  The same as he had previously recognized and allowed me to save in.

    Twhat he E1550 sees that there is a hard disk there, but all he says is «detection...» ', this does not change.

    I need this to be fixed and remains fixed.  If he's going to do every time I turn on the drive to make weekly backups, then I need to get another router wireless.

    Thank you

    I had to call tech support and the Department of advanced technology does a remote to connect to my network.  After a lot of control and looking around, they discovered that two of the hidden system files that the E1550 creates hard disk were corrupted.  Once these two files have been deleted the E1550 completed the connection and makes accessible drive.

    The device ' Time Capsule 802.11n (3rd generation).

Internet access and WIFI configured etc...).  I reformatted the HD to start from scratch.  And last updated as indicated by the Airport utility application.  The intention is to create a new WIFI area with backup (Time Machine).

    When you set up Time Machine I stressed the internal HD of TC, and then it says "connecting to etc...".  After a few seconds, a new mold box presents itself to ' enter your password for the server (name of TC) for Time Machine can access.  I enter the HD password I had setup in Airport utility with nothing doesn't.  I checked all passwords with Airport utility "Show passwords".  Tried all the passwords, and of course which none worked.  And Yes, I even try the previous passwords even if I had changed their

    I noticed that using the Airport 6.3.5 utility running on my OS X 10.10.5 machine I can see and change the TC.  But when I use another computer running 10.11.6 is the Airport 6.3.6 utility does not see the TC?

    Thoughts and comments please?

    Next step may be reset to the factory settings, but feel something going on here...

    (1) try to reset the password for the utility disk AirPort

    (2) open TextEdit on the Mac and type the password in plain text in an editor window.  This will allow you to ensure that all the keys on the keyboard are recognized.  I've seen cases where passwords fail again and again because of a problem with a wrong key on the keyboard or a habit of typing that makes you believe that you enter the password one way, but the result is something else.  Be able to actually see that typed password allows to check that.

  • Blue screen error: 0x0000001a when using system to restore with new hard drive disk

    original title: blue screen error when you use the system disk to restore with new hard drive

    I bought a new hard drive to my computer because the old one gave me a bunch of error messages on screen blues. I installed in the tower and tried to use my restore and system recovery disks that the manufacturer has given me, the process has got to the last disk then asked for the system once again restore disc, and then began to load the last steps and went to blue screen error. I don't know what to do, I mean it's a whole new drive hard, so where could the error come, theres nothing on the hard drive because I have not yet used really, yet. Help, please

    I have finally fixed the problem myself. The problem was that one of the sticks three memory was bad and the only way I could test this error. I took two sticks a left, used disks I had and was able to restore my computer, then I put a stick, turned on the computer, had no errors so I let him, so I put the last stick in and com immediately on, I had the Disconnections: memory management and that's when I knew that the last stick of memory was bad I took it back and now my computer works well and I can't buy more memory for not too. So if someone gets this BOSD error on memory, I'd say 8/10 computers have bad memory (not a number). If youcannot run the tool of diagnosis of memory like me then I would suggest to do what I did with the trial and error, it was the only way to understand the problem. Thanks for your help

  • Error on Windows Vista blue screen about crash of hard disk after every 10-15 minutes.

    My system crashes after every 15 minutes showing this blue screen error. Since a few days before this error, hard drive, reading ability has been slowed a lot. When opening a disk or a file, it takes a lot of time compared to the normal fulfilment. After this blue screen, my system goes for a restart, then another error appears as hard drive not found. I use dell Studio and ran the diagnostic system and it too hard disk error found. Is it possible to solve this problem in my old hard drive with new replacement?

    Vista/xp have already installed software to transfer the BONES of one HD to another, if youre pc is

    a desktop computer, it's fairly easy. Or, install a new HD to the pc boot, enter the BIOS, install the vista installation cd,

    set pc to boot from the cd (1st boot priority) 2nd HD, save and exit. The installation menu to display, follow

    instructions, select 'format' of the HD and windows will automatically install.

    Or 2nd HD, installing under windows, go in run, type: diskmgmt.msc in msc, R.click on the new hard drive, create a

    partition, use the default settings in the wizard, once thru, re-click, select to format, once through exit msc.

    Back to run, type: XCOPY C:\*.* D:\/c/h/e/k/r are for everyone in the DOS window, once its through, the new

    very well, but with a hard drive faulty, data could not get transferred, or it may be damaged...

  • We get an error "D: / is not accessible." a device i/o error"when trying to access hard drive

    * Original title: e/s problem

    I am not able to access my hard disk.windows that says: -.

    "D: / is not accessible." an i/o device error. "

    I also tried chkdsk but it says that it is not directly operatable.

    Hi Rishanpc,

    Thanks for the post. I am sorry to hear that you found a mistake "D: / is not accessible." a device i/o error"when trying to access hard drive.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely help you with this.

     

     

    To help you suggest several steps to solve the problem, I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions:

    1. have you checked if the cables are connected properly?

    2 what is an internal hard drive or external?

    3 have there been recent changes made on the computer before the show?

     

    The most common cause of a non-accessible i/o error is a disconnected cable. When the computer tries to access a device, and it's no response after several tests, it will generate this error. Another common cause is when a program tries to access a file that has been removed or eliminated.

     

    Disconnected Hard Drive/cable misconfiguration

     

    Internal hard drives require a specific set up. IDE hard disks can have only one master. If another hard drive has its defining together correctly pin code, a user is perhaps not able to access the data, and he will receive a message that the drive are not available. Cables come off inside the case of the computer also cause a not accessible i/o error. The user can correct this problem by opening the case and attach the data cables for each drive safely at the back of each drive and the motherboard.

     

    You can follow the steps below and check if it helps.

     

     

     

    a. go to "Control Panel" in the start menu and choose 'performance and Maintenance '.

    b. click on 'System' then go to the Hardware tab and click on "Device Manager."

    c. find the device that records an error by developing the appropriate category nodes. If the device has a red "X" on the icon beside its description, the hardware is disabled; Go to step d to activate it. Otherwise, go to step e.

    d. go to the general tab and click on "Activate the device" found in the device status section. then press 'OK '. (Note: you may need to follow the guests, as indicated via an assistant of favorable device.) If you do, continue to click "Next" and follow the instructions until the process is complete.) Test the equipment. If an error is displayed, go to step e.

    e. click the general tab and click "Troubleshooting" found in the device status section and then press 'OK '. Follow the prompts to fix the problem. If an error is still displayed, go to step f.
