corrupt c drive error

IM using window 98 and now I'm upgrading in the installation of window, that it is said that your c drive is corrupt and the installation of xp sp2, but it cannot continue press f3 to exit Setup. Please help how to fix this problem.

Use the avilable utility disk from your drive to audit manufacturer.

Personally I would clean install winxp (ensuring that data stored externally, all will be lost in a clean install)

  • Add/Remove components error and DVD driver error: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    Original title: Add/Remove components error and DVD driver error

    Yesterday, I removed several components of windows to attempt to clean my cpu. After the reboot, I noticed that my DVD drive disappeared. I tried to update the driver but told me I have the most updated version, I uninstalled and reinstalled the drive, but I still get the same error. Under Driver Details, it shows that I have a lot of drivers for my Phillips DVD player. However, the status of the device is the following: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device. I've done the troubleshooting, and the two options has not fixed the problem.

    Then I tried to add windows components that I removed, thinking maybe that was the problem. However, when I try to add them, I get an error message that says: 'Setup cannot copy the file zClientm.ex_' it shows the location of this file as being in windows/i386, and of course, the file is located in this folder. So when I go to browse to locate the file, I find and click on it to open it, but I keep getting the same error message that the file is not found and Setup cannot continue.

    I realize that this problem seems very rare and weird, but any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • Windows 7 backup error: "backup Windows ignored C:\Users\... because it's on corrupt C:\ drive.»

    Hello

    I bought a new computer recently with Windows 7 installed and regularly use Windows backup since my purchase with no problems.  However, a couple of days, I tried to backup my system and received a message saying that the backup completed, but some files were ignored.  As soon as the journal view, that's what I find:

    Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\Documents backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.
    Windows skipped C:\Users\Public\Documents backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.
    Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\Music backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.
    Windows skipped C:\Users\Public\Music backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.

    Backup Windows ignored C:\Users\Jonathan\Saved games as it is on corrupt C:\ drive.
    Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\Searches backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.

    It seems that Windows Backup jumped basically every valuable piece of data on my PC.  I did a search for answers and it seems that when people have this problem backup Windows still do not know the same libraries (pretend to prove that it is not a problem of material with the HARD drive). and the only suggestion I could find was to run the chkdsk utility, then attempt a backup again.  I have since run the utility chkdsk twice and it found no errors, and I continue to have this problem when you save.

    Beyond running the chkdsk utility and reboot for a third time, can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance.

    I think that this is the case because of a virus (incase your pc is not protected or a new threat has developed).

    Please install an antivirus.
    I suggest Microsoft Security Essentials.Scan all the files and then try again.
    Or try freeing up space on the drive you store the backup in the c DRIVE.
    or try to move your important files to an external USB key or hard drive and format your pc :)
    That will solve almost all your problems.
    In case you need help with anything else or this does'nt resolve your problem, mail me or reply to this post of mine.

    Hello

    ·        Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·        What are the fix and repair that you tried to solve this problem?

    ·        Outside this disk verification error, do you get any other error message?

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to do a scan of the SFC. File system (CFS) Auditor verifies that all Windows 7 system files are where they should be as they are by default and not corrupted, changed or damaged.

    ·        Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories, right-click on command prompt and select run as administrator.

    ·        Click on continue or provide administrator credentials if prompted.

    ·        In the command prompt window, type the following text, and then press ENTER:

    ·        sfc/scannow

    ·        You should see the following message on the screen:

    § Begin the analysis of the system. This process will take time.

    § Beginning verification phase of system scan.

    ·        % Of verification complete.

    ·        Once the scan is complete, a test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved or not.

    a. click on start, then run.

    b. in open, type cmd, and then press ENTER.

    c. use one of the following procedures:

    Procedure 1: To run Chkdsk in read-only, at the command prompt, type chkdsk, and then press ENTER.

    Note: If one or more files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message is displayed:

    a. Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

    b. Type O, and then press ENTER to schedule the disk check, and then restart your computer to start the disk check.

    Procedure 2: To repair errors, locate bad sectors and recover readable information, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume: / r, and then press ENTER.

  • Satellite T130-02F - display driver error

    Hello

    I just bought the Satellite T130-02F and after choosing 32-bit operating system, I had the power to recharge the battery and then started to get 'to display driver errors"where the screen black flash and then flash back on. I checked Device Manager and Driver Details, the reader is up to date and as far as I can see is the suitable driver. I searched websites to see if there are other drivers out there ar, but its update.

    I have nothing more have not installed on the computer again and find that I get the error more regularly on the farm rather than power, that concerns me. The computer is less than 24 hours old.
    Any advice?

    Mobile Intel (R) display firmware.
    Windows 7 32-bit is installed.

    Hello

    In your case I would try to reinstall the display driver. You can find the latest version on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    After that, make sure that the latest version of the BIOS is installed. You can download the Toshiba site too.

    If nothing works your only chance is an authorized service provider. It seems to be a hardware problem and should be checked for professional people.

  • Satellite Pro A40 guard stop with the ATI driver error message

    My girls having some problems with her laptop and get back to Uni at the end of week for me to have a look on.

    Basically, he keeps closing sometimes with an ATI graphics driver error message. I had updated the memory last Christmas and resinstalled from scratch.

    My first impressions are it is overheating and I probably need to clean the fan, was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

    Thank you very much
    Keith (South end)

    Satellite Pro A40 is about 3 years old and it is possible that the unit needs to be cleaned. If the appliance is used intensively, I assume that there is more dust inside. By overheating of the appliance stops suddenly without any warning.

    As a first step the device. I don't know if it's the right idea to do it alone, but if you are familiar with laptops, you can give a try. After having done that, your daughter should carefully watch what happens the next few days.

    Hey,.

    Correctly the HARD disk (drive c :)) has bad sectors and therefore a backup can t be polite.)
    Have you also tried other software like Acronis image backup?

    You should try to run chkdsk in DOS box. Maybe it can recognize and fix a bad sector.

    In the worst cases, your HARD drive needs to be replaced, but A660 is fairly new laptop to an authorized service provider can do it for free.

  • Satellite L350 - persistent master hard drive errors

    I've known persistent main hard disk errors. Errors, in their first incarnation, were windows freeze at loading screens and screensavers, and then developed by stopping Windows to boot at all. It certainly would not start normally and sometimes would not start in safe mode. I used the recovery partition to restore the computer to its factory settings. A day or two later, the same symptoms began to manifest again, although not as severely. The hard drive errors, freeze on screens and loading screen savers.

    My question is: if I re - format the hard drive master, thus destroying the recovery partition, I could then just restore windows from a newly formed recovery CD? And, in addition, what is the probability that reformatting the drive hard completely would have an effect on the frequency of errors?
    If the hard drive is simply borked, format or not? And if yes, what is the next step?
    Could I restore windows on my drive hard slave and give up on the master?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Buddy,

    Are you sure that all these problems related to the HARD drive at 100%? How did you check that?

    I don t mean it s not the HARD drive, theoretically, you could be right but before you think to change the HARD drive please use a diagnostic tool special for HDD as Drive Fitness Test:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/support/downloads/#DFT

    This tool can check your HARD drive for bad sectors.

    If the HARD features of bad sectors disk, formatting will not help you because the sectors are physically damaged. With other words, the only chance is to exchange it.

    But if you have already used the recovery feature of HARD Toshiba drive to reinstall Windows you can say s that no problem of software and it must be hardware related. ;)
