  Hey derizz,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

  If you cannot copy files normally, try to copy guest rather using Xcopy command.

  1. click on start, principally made programs, click Accessories and then right-click on command prompt, click Run as administrator.
  2. type the following command line and press ENTER. In the command line, drive is the letter of the CD drive or DVD drive.

  xcopy drive:-*. * /s > c:\test1

  See if that helps to successfully copied the files on your hard drive.
  Kind regards

  How much RAM you have on your system? (Right click on "My Computer"-> properties)

  As a general rule, Windows XP does not work well if you have less than 1 GB or more of RAM.  What usually happens is that your RAM capacity is exceeded leading to overflow on virtual memory (the drive) to compensate for the need of RAM in the computer.  This causes your system to beat on your hard drive and slow down your system.

  If this is your problem, the options are to increase the RAM on your system or decrease the non-essential programs that launch at startup on your computer using a tool like Autoruns.

• Bad hard drive or simply noisy

  OK, so my hard drive started to make sounds ringing about 1 week ago. Recently, about 2 days, it is whenever I put my PC to sleep and then wake it upward, the hard drive starts to make knocking sounds, freezes and I get a blue screen. Then the PC restarts, it also takes more time to start and the hard drive continues to make the sounds hitting until the windows is loaded.

  Im not sure if it's the hard drive or something, I ran the diagnostic test of the HP hardware on the drive and everything seems fine.

  I posted a picture of the exact error code.

  IM thinking that it might be something with the system files, so I could do a factory restore and see if that helps, any comment is very appreciated

  BTW, I HPE-310 t

  Hello

  I suggest to install an application called CrystalDiskInfo. This will tell if the hard drive will fail, no matter what file system on it.

• Hard drive LED flashes after Service Pack 2 installed.

  Hard disk LED (activity indicator) flashes or 'pulses' once per second, like seconds ticking of a clock after installing SP2.

  This happens on my Vista 64 Ultimate desktop and my laptop Vista 64 Home Premium of buddies.

  When we turn off the DVD/CD drive in Device Manager, the drive stops flashing...? Anyone?

  * After using System Restore to 'Cancel' the installation of SP2 on the laptop, the hard drive continues to blink.

  Disabling the 'Auto-Play' function does not work either.

  I do a system restore on the laptop. This operation he brings to "out of box state" and running on SP1. I follow the results upward.

  Problem solved!

  With the office running, I disconnected the power cable from the DVD itself, DVD player and cut the data cable from the motherboard DVD player, then reconnected them.

  It's now time to try this on the laptop.

  Keep in mind the two of them are running Vista 64 bit and this devloped problem only after installation of SP2.

  -Buy cables and a hand off USA door.

  -Installed, always the same answer.

  -Ordered the new HP's HARD drive.  Out of stock.  Finally inquiring was commissioned to a part 3rd US rep.  He recommended to buy directly from output, but higher speed.  Did this and then HP replacement HARD drive arrives.  Both outside the U.S. door hand.

• After Windows Update on 13/10/11 all reboots Windows is extremely slow and hard drive is on continuously.

  I ran the Windows, distributed update to my PC 10/13/11.  After restarting the computer is so slow as to be unusable.  I am able to get the Windows Task Manager to run, and it sees a minimum CPU (0-10%).  The hard drive light is on continuously.  The computer seems to be tied up access the hard disk.  The machine restarts do not help.  When you try to use Windows Explorer to view what is on the hard drive of each operation takes several minutes to complete.  I tried to launch the system restore to restore to before the update, but it shows a blank white screen.  Often trying to do something with the Windows Explorer I see in the title bar of Windows Explorer (not responding).

  How can I get the machine into a usable state?

  It's a shame that we know absolutely nothing about your system, but it's because the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked.

  You can probably fix your calendar to restore system back to an earlier date, but that would leave you without the updates, so you should really understand what the deal is with them and fix it (eventually).

  Here's how:

  If your system restore page display only the title bar 'System Restore', or your accounts settings page of users shows that the 'User accounts' title bar and the screen where information needs to be is an empty white box...

  System Restore is a frequent target of attacks by malicious software.  If SR was working before and is now afflicted, run some scans and then fix any problems.

  Remember that the system restore is not a time machine.

  Just fix the immediate issuance of the calendar vacuum system restore:

  Looks like your file jscript.dll became somehow not registered so you can re-record it.

  There are probably a few other things that do not work you know yet, so fix them all at once.

  Re-registration of these DLLs is correct, even if they do not need renewal.  THERE

  Click Start, run, and in the box enter orders following one at a time.  Click the OK button to execute each command one at a time.

  regsvr32 jscript.dll
  regsvr32 vbscript .dll
  regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll (it's a look of slash)

  The last order for mshtml load the DLL but can also contain a harmless warning depending on your environment.

  Now check your timetable for restoration of the system and/or the user account settings page.

  After you get through the other 'methods', then someone can help your mounting system, but it will be easier and go faster without wild goose chase if you provide additional information, first:

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Now make some clarifications:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Msinfo32

  Click on OK and when system summary information is displayed, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy) Ctrl + C) then paste (Ctrl-V) the information here.
