Reading efforts and errors you received on your other thread it seems pretty obvious that your hard drive is bad. It could be as serious as a bad on the motherboard controller, but usually, it's only the hard drive.

A hard drive can be replaced for about $40 and takes about 15 minutes to change. EX HERE

  • Treatment of intrusion via CFMAIL error - what is wrong with my code?

    Hello world

    I'm not a person tech but I will try my best to describe the situation.

    When I tried yesterday to resolve an error message (which always showed what not all required fields have filled our 'Request for quote' company site), I think I messed the system of any transfer of investigation. I have deleted everything.

    My company using Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and the guy who wrote that the pages are long gone. If only I could go back the current system works, how it is used to be, but it's too late, I already turned off my computer yesterday.

    The way it should work, it of that client in all information types, we need him, then pushes the submit button, which sends an email to us, and then directs the customer to our page "thank you for your request. If some eror happens, it brings the customer to our mailto.cfm page, which now displayed an error message I don't understand on the 3rd line,

    variable.fieldnames = ListDeleteAt(variable.fieldnames, ListFindNoCase(variable.fieldnames,"RECIPIENT") );

    Here is what I found as a veteran backup to our mailto.cfm page (which I changed yesterday, and that has caused the whole problem), that no longer works is:

    < cfscript >
    variable. FieldNames = form.fieldnames;
    variable. FieldNames = ListDeleteAt (variable.fieldnames, ListFindNoCase (variable.fieldnames, "CONTAINER"));
    variable. FieldNames = ListDeleteAt (variable.fieldnames, ListFindNoCase (variable.fieldnames, "SUBJECT"));
    variable. FieldNames = ListDeleteAt (variable.fieldnames, ListFindNoCase (variable.fieldnames, "THANKURL"));
    < / cfscript >
    < name cfparam = "FORM. "By default the SUBJECT" = "Site Web Form" >
    " < intrusion via cfmail to = ' [email protected] "from =" [email protected] "subject =" #FORM. TOPIC #"> #FORM." TOPIC #
    Envoy #DateFormat (now (), "dddd d mmmm, yyyy") # @ #TimeFormat (now (), ' hh: mm tt ') #.

    < cfloop index 'i' = list = "#variable.fieldnames #" > < cfif len (evaluate("form.#i#")) > < cfif uCase (right(i,6)) eq "_BREAK" > #chr (13) # < / cfif > #ReplaceNoCase(i,"_BREAK","") #: #RepeatString ("", evaluate (15 - len (ReplaceNoCase(i,"_BREAK",""))) # #Replace (evaluate("form.#i#"), Chr (10), Chr (10) and RepeatString ("", 17), 'All') # #chr (13) # < / cfif > < / cfloop > ")
    < / intrusion via cfmail >

    < cflocation url = '#form. "THANKURL #" addtoken = "No" >

    This seems simple, the spot is correct, the-field must be too, why do you still think is not sending more surveys such as emails? When this code is broken?

    I'd appreciate very much all the suggestions, I really need your help!

    Okay, this is weird, but your system does not appear to be accepting the line returns in the code.  This isn't normal behavior.  But you can hard-code in.

    Out of curiosity what kind of systems work?

    
    
    #FORM.SUBJECT#
    
    Sent #DateFormat(now(),'dddd mmmm d, yyyy')# @ #TimeFormat(now(),'h:mm tt')##chr(13)##chr(10)#
    
    #repeatString(" ",20-len(replaceNoCase(field,"_BREAK","")))##replaceNoCase(field,"_BREAK","")#:#replace(form[field],chr(10),chr(10 ) & repeatString(" ",17),"ALL")##chr(13)##chr(10)#

    Hello

    I had my Equium A200-1VO since December 2007 and has never really had any problems with it atall.

    However, last night after a Windows Vista update and restart, my laptop won't start upward. I get a black screen announcing:

    "A disk read error has occurred.

    Please press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart»

    I've had no BSOD, and no other suggestion that something was wrong, everything worked perfectly. I checked the HARD drive to see if it had come off his link and reinserted it. But I get the same message.

    I am presented with the only possibility to use the recovery disk, but this means wiping everything out there and start again. I'd rather try to recover my documents before taking radical measures, if it is possible atall.

    If anyone has any suggestions I would be very appreciate.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    In my view, the error message says a lot: theoretically, your HARD drive may be defective and must be replaced but before that I would test using fitness to drive or another program. Just use Google to find such programs.

    Maybe something was tangled up in your Windows installation. About reinstalling Windows?

    You didn't back up your data to a second drive? I m wondering about this, because the backup should always be made.
    However, if you use an external HARD drive box you can save it on another computer.

    Good luck! :)

  • A startup problem after that Windows updates were installed and a disk read error occurred.

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 9400

    Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 operating systems

    Last night, he showed 16 updates are ready to be installed the automatic updates.

    Restart now and he acted like he was going to reboot except is went to a blue screen with a message that says:

    A disk read error has occurred.

    I tried several times by pushing the Ctrl + alt + del keys to restart my system, it does not start...

    It shows the DELL screen with the loading bar, which is in charge of the left to the right.  It then displays

    Back to the blue screen with the same Message (an office read error)...

    I tried once or twice as the system restart in Mode safe mode (F8)...   This doesn't work anymore...

    He always flashes back to the BLUE SCREEN with the same message.

    Please, can someone tell me why this would happen as a result of the windows updates...?

    How this can be fixed or what should I do to get my back operational system?

    Thank you...

    Hi Shelly928,

    You can read the following article and try the steps to solve the problem:

  • Satellite Pro 4600: disk-read error occurs - press Ctrl Alt Del to restart

    I have a Pro 4600 which displays the error message "a disk read error has occurred. Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart "as soon as TOSHIBA logo goes.

    The laptop was given to me because the person who had tried to move to XP Pro and don't could not make it work, error with the CD Rom drive and she deleated the old OS (Win2000) off the coast.

    I took the hard drive and did a fresh install of XP by attaching the drive to another computer. The hard disk starts well on the other computer, but I get the error message on the Pro 4600.
    Any ideas. I know that I need to replace the CD Rom, but if I can't make it work, I don't want to drop money in it for a new CD Rom

    Thank you, Bob

    Hello

    Are you sure that the CD drive is dead?
    I have goggled a bit on the net and found some practical information that there may be some HDD malfunction.
    Some guys advised to use the command CHKDSK C: /R to solve this problem.

    But if it's a cd player error, it should be possible to disable the drive in Device Manager.

  • Satellite M40 does not start from hard disk - read error

    "I push the button - briefly see the In Touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA screen - then ' + a disk read error occurred press Ctrl Alt Del to restart +".

    I control alt delete brings me briefly on the screen TOSHIBA where I can choose either F2 or F12.

    Do I need a startup disk and where can I get one in order to boot from the CD ROM?
    Do I try to get into the Satellite M40 product Recovery DVD-ROM - this concern for me as the hard drive will be reformatted and all data will be lost.

    I'm stuck please help!

    Hello!

    If you enter the product recovery disc, Windows will be relocated and will be erasing all data on the HARD drive.

    I think that your HARD drive is damaged. You can check this with the Drive Fitness Test. Here you can download:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
    Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

    By the way: you can save the data on the HARD drive, when you put it in a box external HARD disk. Then you can save the data on another PC, if the HARD drive is ok and have no errors.

    Good bye

  • Satellite L305D-S593 - disk read error

    My Toshiba Satellite L305D-S593 suddenly stopped. At first I thought he had a little more heated or something, but when I tried to turn back on it gave me a message saying disk-read error press ctrl alt del to restart. I did several times in the same direction. While I tried to reinstall windows, I got lucky if she showed to the installation screen once it did, I followed the instructions for installation clean (I had to do it once before, but for different reasons).

    Once he brought me to the menu had to select a partition to install on I said to do it on the main HDD after some loading and that time, he said that it was impossible to complete the formatting required. So I Redid the process and I noticed the music said it had 288 GB of available memory, but before that, I had only about 40. To remedy this, I clicked on the format button and it says that it cannot complete the action because the disk is about to fail.

    PS My processor is 64-bit AMD Turion dual core mobile, with 4 GB of RAM

    Hey,.

    In my opinion, it has something to do with the HARD drive itself, I guess that it s a bad sector so Windows Setup can format t HARD drive properly. I mean before you tried to reinstall Windows, the system could not start due to a disc read error. This means that the files on the HARD disk are confused because of bad sectors

    You can install Windows Toshiba Recovery disk?

    If it doesn t work too, I'll try to replace the HARD drive. Usually, it is not complicated and can be done in 5 minutes.
    In addition, you can check the HARD disk for errors with diagnostic tools special as Drive Fitness Test. Google a bit for such tools, they are freeware, so it s no problem to find. ;)

    Hello

    I suggest you get into the Recovery Console and use the where command prompt to run the chkdsk command. This scan the hard drive for bad sectors and recover any information from reading. To get instructions on how to enter the recovery console in Windows XP:
    The KB above also shows how to use the Recovery Console prompt.
    a. Insert the Windows XP startup disk in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD drive and restart the computer.
    b. Click to select all the options required to start the computer from the reader, if you are prompted.
    c. when the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
    d. If you have a computer dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you must Access from the Recovery Console.
    e. When you are prompted, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
    f. type in the following command and press ENTER:
    Chkdsk /r
    g. once the command is executed type "exit" (without the quotes) to exit the command prompt and check if the problem is resolved.

    I have a problem of access to the Outlook account and other pages because appears "certificate error" what's happened with these certificates? Help please.

    There are two main reasons for the mistakes of certificate:
