The problem has been ongoing for some time, but has become more common, that it shows by the pc is crawling along at less than snail PACE, or freezing. In the upper part of the casing, inbetween card reader locations that a red light, then it started to blink, then she stays all the time. I tried to reinstall Vista a few months ago and everything was going well for a while, then it started and got worse, it took 10 hours to reinstall Vista on reformatted lecteurC and he hooked for hours on end scene I have disabled the power, he left all night and the next day I reformatted the C drive even once, he did finally install Vista, this time after about 4 hours, but it's always freezing etc. Have you tried sfc scannow result was without windows integrity violations I've run Seatools and he said that some areas were difficult to read I tried checkdisk, running for 14 hours always on 14% of Platinum 5 my gut feeling is that the C drive has had, no complaints because he did a lot of work. My thought is, as there are 2 hard drives that the second was not very useful, I could remove the current C drive and move the drive D and now in the C drive of slot and reinstall Vista there? My thoughts are that if I can do this and it works, then I could buy another drive to put in the D slot, do not want to waste money if it turns out not to hard dive. Of course, that would be much easier (in theory in my head who knows nothing) would just swap the drive letters. Now, when you're all finished rolling on the floor laughing hysterically (which I probably deserve), can someone offer me some ideas, suggestions, or help please? I would be very grateful, because I'm very close to throwing the pc out the window.

Sorry for him was this post looks like, I use a little pathetic netbook, I have taken ages typing gently, but look at what happened to it... Sorry

The cost factor, an appropriate player motivated this answer because of your VIsta operating system.

You must copy the data files on the D drive to C drive.  Although RAID0 conforms to the standards of the AHCI, it is better to change to AHCI in the BIOS. See here that will allow a single hard drive. (The old D disk be reformatted and installation of the OS). In the end, you will need an adapter (like this one) to convert the old disk USB file copying, files of data back to the newly installed C drive.  Such an adpater can be found on Amazon.

I would have been back sooner, but I'm distracted.

  • my daughter received a comp. from a friend that the hard disk has been deleted how to get windows xp back on it

    I downloaded windows xp from mirowsoft up to 6 discs of A which I just it ready for the cd of window xp I don't have.

    Hi cjoyner66,

    Thanks for posting. I'm confused on 6 discs A you're talking about. Windows XP can not hold on 6 floppy disks if that's what you are referring. If the hard disk has been deleted, you will need to use your Windows XP disk and reinstall Windows using this disk and the key associated with this record. If you don't have XP media, you must contact the OEM of your computer or buy an extra copy of the XP.

    I hope this helps!

    Since this is a secondary drive chkdsk/r can be run without having to reboot.   Close all the programs that can access training and and when you run chkdsk say yes to "remove this volume first...". ».  This will cause no harm.  Although not strictly necessary, I recommend you to reboot once completed the disk check.   This will solve any problem related to the file handles.
    If chkdsk/r reports bad sectors, you should replace the disk.

    After obtaining a hard drive in working condition, you can reinstall the software using the discs if you bought the discs, or you can download your software as a trial version and use your original serial number to activate it.

    If the software is the latest version, you can download it from the Adobe product pages.

    If the software is an older version, you can download the demo version of the software using the link below and then use your current serial number to activate it.

It seems that user account control does not recognize the Windows programs that had found the new HD, but acknowledges those who is downloaded from the internet.

  • On NEW laptop keyboard does not work after that the screen keyboard has been activated and then deactivated.

    Look at my friend got a new laptop and went through the whole upward. the on-screen keyboard has been activated which invalidates the real keyboard when the on-screen keyboard has been disabled the real keyboard has NO return. If this is a bug... Fix it. This is not a driver issue, it is not a user error. Stop giving people answers, trying to pretend like it's not not the OS when most people already know that it is.

    I'm sorry, but I didn't not new meant only one day.  And when I got my new laptop, one of the first things I did was to create a point of files, even a day later I had a restore to use - point and that was possible here as well.  I'm sorry it wasn't the case.

    If the system restore option is not available, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not work, you can try to go into the BIOS during the startup (the key appropriate to push appear on the screen to enter the boot menu or boot installation - try them both in turn if both appear. It is possible that the BIOS contains an option to disable the keyboard (which may have been activated by the keyboard on the screen but not changed when disable you the on-screen keyboard) and you may need to re-enable manually.  There is a slight possibility, but it is an option to try.

    Another option to try is to set up a new user account that has never used the keyboard on the screen and see if the regular keyboard works when you connect to this account.  If so, you can simply treat the original as a corrupt account account and use the following procedures to complete the transfer.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.

    I hope that one of these aid procedures.  I'm sorry if they seem to 'generic', but we do not really know what is the problem - especially since the system is new.  We try and identify the cause and fix the problem at the same time using the procedures available to us.  I suspect there's a registry tweak will correct this problem, but I went through the whole registry, and although I found several referencers keyboard, I could find no which seemed to control or not activate the main laptop keyboard (though it has been in one of the entries that has been encoded in binary that I couldn't read).  It's possible someone who knows more about the registry will respond to this issue with a proposal to amend (or perhaps another solution).

    I hope that one of the solutions I proposed works.  Please post back in all cases we will know whether or not to continue searching for an answer.

    Good luck!
