CD-Rom indicated that all disks are not formatted.

All of a sudden (no major changes to the system) the CD-Rom on my laptop started to say all CDs (burned and commercial) are not formatted and that Windows is unable to read the disc. I reinstalled the drivers and windows updates, but the problem is still there. Thoughts?

1 swap hunt for a well-known work. OR
2. put the drive in another computer. OR
3. start with a bootable CD as the disc to install XP or a Linux Live disc and see what happens. If the drive cannot read a bootable CD (and this will happen outside Windows), then you will know for sure it is a defective material. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • During the process of closing on windows 7, my PC does not enough time see that all programs are not closed

    When I closed my computer to Windows 7 Desktop, the time allowed to see that a program is still running is so brief that there is no time to cancel close long enough so that the other program is finished. I changed a few settings to 1 second earlier, which is probably the problem but I can't remember where I changed the amount of listening time. Do you know where can I change these settings?

  • To run all the applications of the laptop or install download applications works does not error message indicating that the application is not valid "win32.exe or win32.application.

    To run all the applications of the laptop or install download applications works does not error message indicating that the application is not valid "win32.exe or win32.application.

    Hello m.velentino,

    Not sure if you are still having the error message isn't valid win32.applicaiton.

    Get the error: not a valid 32-bit application can have several origins:
    I have listed some of them below.

    The file is corrupted, bad or missing.
    -If the hard disk is damaged or hurt it cause work programs to fail, either because not all data can be read from the hard drive the program is damaged on the drive. Run scandisk and defrag on the hard disk to check for potential errors.
    -If you run the program from a shortcut on the computer, verify that the program is still on the computer. In some cases if the program is no longer installed on the computer, you can get this error.

    File is not designed for your version of Windows:
    -If you try to run a program that is not designed for your version of Windows, you can get this error.
    -Although many old programs designed to work in older versions of Windows will work with new versions of Windows, unfortunately, not all programs will not work.
    -If the program is an MS-DOS program more former start program or Windows, you can get this error.
    -If the program is designed for a 64-bit version of Windows and you are running in a 32-bit version of Windows, it will not work and generate this error.

    File is a virus, worm or other malicious program file.
    -
    This error can be generated by a file that is a virus, worm, Trojan horse or other type of malware file. Often, this will result because the antivirus installed on the computer will not allow the file to install or run. Try to analyze the file to check, it is not a virus or infected.
    -If the file has been checked and is clean, it is always possible that the virus protection program or a another program installed on the computer is at the origin of questions during installation or execution of the program. Start the computer in Mode safe and try to run the program. start the computer in Mode safe will be that nothing is running in the background that could cause this problem.

    Hardware incompatibility.

    -If you get this error during the installation of a program, it is also possible that the CD-ROM drive or the drive that you are installing the program from is not compatible with Windows or has drivers that are not compatible with Windows.
    -Download the latest drivers for your CD player or other of the manufacturer of the computer or the manufacturer of the equipment. (Microsoft does not pilot for other materials)

  • NSS4100 RAID DOES NOT START, please check that all components are present

    Hi, NSS4100 storage system could start the raid10.

    The message is:

    --

    The RAID boot failure
    Please check that all components are present

    --

    All disks are present, as you can see in the picture as an attachment. The system has been restarted twice. Is there a possibility to start the raid without losing data?

    Thank you, Dan

    There number so that you can configure for RAID Array (JBOD, RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID5 + Spare and RAID10). I read your posted, the system configured for RAID10. RAID10 is operated like a pair of mirror of data.

    Here are a few RAID array information:

    (1) JBOD (no data protection, when your drive is bad.) You have lost all the data). The notion of read/write date is the same for PC. Fast at the beginning, but the data you have on the disk, it will eventually slow down.)

    (2) RAID0 (no data protection, however, to write the disk data is better in performance. A drive is dead, then the data is lost)

    (3) RAID1 (data protection. A drive is dead. Others always in activity and degrades performance.)

    (4) RAID1 + Spare (Similarly for RAID1, just an automatic rebuild RAID1 for when a drive broke down)

    (5) RAID5: (Protection of data. Minimum of 3 disks. Authorized a disc goes down)

    (6) RAID5 + Spare: (data protection. Need 4 drives. Auto regeneration when a faulty drive)

    (7) RAID10: (Protection of data. Working together with the disc into the slot 1/2 is first pair and disks in the 3/4 Groove is the second pair). This is important because the disks in the Groove 1/2 cannot be placed on the slot 3/4 if she already had the information RAID10. Error I've seen since the GUI is like to drive may have been moved or exchanged around unintended.

  • I like the develop module, but I'm doing something wrong in the library in library, under 'Catalogue, all the photos', all my photos appear showing the stars, cropping, and development. The problem is that these changes are not for the photos on my hard d

    I love the develop module, but I'm doing something wrong in the library

    In the library, under 'Catalogue, all the photographs', all my photos appear showing the stars, cropping, and development. The problem is that these changes are not for the photos on my hard drive. When I re-import them in Lr, the changes are not there. My workflow is to do nothing after development or export them to the original with a new file name destination. Anyway, it is that they get a new file name without change of development when they are imported into Lr.  Please help (PC user)

    And others have explained, Lightroom does not apply the changes to the file. All changes are stored in the catalog, and then applied to the image when it is displayed in Lightroom. If you want a copy of the image with any changes so that you can share with others or send it to a laboratory to print, then you must export a copy of this image by using the export dialog box in Lightroom.

    Features of Lightroom as well by its design. The images that you import are always left in their original condition, unmodified.

    Hi imoffshore,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         When was the last time it worked?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

    You must make some changes in the windows registry.

    Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • Error "the dynamic disks are not supported by this operating system." what configuration Raid 0 (striped) readers.

    I have my operating system installed on a single disc, and I bought two additional discs I want to implement in a Raid 0 configuration. I'm going to administrative tools > computer management > disk management > right-click on a single disc and select the new striped volume > add the second drive and fill the dialog box until I get to the part where the formatting is supposed to start. Then I am stopped by an error that says "the dynamic disks are not supported on this operating system."

    Who says that hard drives, I bought are not compatible with vista interlacing or it says that vista can not the striped disks. What is the problem?

    You need to configure raid 0 before installation of win, you cannot "convert" s simple drive to the part of a matrix of blocks.

    In general this is not a good idea to use software raid, too a overload the CPU. If you want to raid, invest in a dedicated hardware raid card, which for a decent cost probably more than your motherboard

    [Moved from the Word forum; please move again, if this isn't the right subforum]

    At best, I think all you can do is Pin password to your taskbar,

    Enable recent items, jump lists

    Right click your Start button and select Properties,

    Check the two boxes of privacy,

    Then at least you will have this item / items on the jump list, you can open it immediately when you log back in.

    You will still need to manually, save your work or value Word Auto save every minute / 60 seconds...

    But when your disconnect there is no way to have a program remain open.
