Interrupt the interrogation of the drive - acer lappy

Hi all. My laptop decided to investigate the disk hard whenever it is turned on. It gives me 1 second to press a button and thus circumvent this operation. the investigation of disk operation takes 5 hours to result (but 1 minute to 75% full!). I have not put in place, and my little dollytots are not always fast enough to stop the op.

Any ideas on how to get rid of this nuisance? Otherwise, it was an all-in-all machine brill

If factory reset has not fix it, is probably a problem on HDD/SSD, so save all your personal data and if it is under warranty, contact Acer supports service.

  • installation of the driver Imation superdisk120 (LONG)

    Under XP, service pack 2 and not connected to the internet. The Imation SuperDisk is parallel port model not a USB device.  It plugs into the printer port connector.

    Eager to recover an old file off a Superdisk Imation 120 I tried to connect the drive to the old computer, where it was once installed.  Drive was not working so I uninstalled and installed again since the original Imation disk.

    The installation seems to work and the display the message says that it has been installed successfully.  But when I try to use the PC hangs.  The device is not correctly displayed on the Explorer window - it says "diskette of 3 1/2 (b)" if I do a forced shutdown, Windows XP is up with terrible disk addressing messages to not be consistent, files not where they are supposed to be, etc..  But if I start in safe mode and uninstall the Superdisk, Windows XP is happy once more and does not seem to suffer persistent problems.

    I tried to find a more appropriate (XP) or a more recent driver using my PC every day, but this product is obsolete for a long time.

    There is a ReadMe.TXT file which involves potential problems with the device and the IRQ addresses, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to make heads or tales of what he says.  In part because it is written for older versions of Windows 95 or NT.

    I suspect that it is indeed addressing conflict but have no idea how to go about fixing.  Here's what says the ReadMe.TXT file:

    *****************************************************************************************

    Overview of the Parallel Port
    -------------------------------------

    Parallel ports have traditionally been seen as "printer ports".
    As mobile and external devices are becoming very popular, new
    standards of port as Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) in parallel and
    Extended features (ECP) port are breaking the barriers of performance
    and which allows operation at full bus speed.

    Machines IBM-compatible supports 3 parallel ports.
    Each parallel port has a unique i/o address.  The three commonly used
    O/r address are 0x3BCh, 0x378h, 0x278h with two available interrupts
    (IRQ 7 and IRQ 5). Systems not IBM as NEC 98XX have ports such as 0x140h.
    and IRQ 14. These addresses are also called by the "logical device name.
    some LPT1, LPT2, LPT3.

    Normally, the first port is configured for 0x3BCh/IRQ7, the second at 0x378h.
    IRQ7 and the third in 0x278h/IRQ5. However the ports can be assigned to one of
    These three addresses. It is possible to set up a parallel port to share
    IRQ, like most software does not IRQ use while using the port. However
    interrupt the driver software as an external hard disk, cdroms, etc., may require that
    IRQ for improved operation. Most of the systems on the market have their
    first parallel port (LPT1) assigned 378 h, IRQ 7 by default when shipped.

    The base address and the IRQ can be identified by the search:

    a. in the CMOS settings.

    b. with the help of MSD (Microsoft Diagnostics) in the BACK, the Device Manager under
    System of WIN95, WINNT Diagnostics in NT

    In some systems, the CMOS does not address basis nor the IRQ, but
    Specifies 1 parallel to 3BC/IRQ7, 2 parallel for 378/IRQ 7 and parallel 3
    for 278 /IRQ 5.

    In some LPT1/378 systems options assigned LPT IRQ 7 and assigns LPT2/278
    the turbine BP to IRQ 5.

    Troubleshooting tips
    -----------------------

    General:

    1. the questions of recognition of parallel Port
    The system has a parallel port EPP, but do not initialize in EPP.

    Solution:
    The pilot of the shuttle initialize EPP only for parallel port basics set
    to 378 h and 278 h. If the parallel port to which the device of the shuttle is
    connected is configured to 3BCh, the driver will initialize not in EPP.

    2. the driver fails to load or to identify the adapter. Pilot reports
    "Error during initialization adapter, driver failed to load".

    Solution:
    a. unplug the unit and set up the system.
    b. Add the option "/ a" to the driver.
    d. Save and reboot the system after the connection of the shuttle.
      
    If this does not work:
    Repeat steps a and b.
    c. Type "/ DI/R2 /W2"
    d. Save and reboot the system after the connection of the shuttle.

    If this does not work:
    Repeat steps a and b.
    c. Type "which / / W2/R2 OF."
    d. Save and reboot the system after the connection of the shuttle.

    Configuration of the clashes often lead to problems that system or to prevent crash
    the pilot of the shuttle from loading successfully. Make sure that other devices
    installed in the system are not configured to use the same base port and the IRQ
    values. A typical example is of sound cards that are popularly set to
    Use IRQ 7.

    BACK:

    1 Shuttle hard/removable disk drive and FDISK

    Solution:
    To partition the hard drive or removable drive with the
    The command FDISK, support INT 13 h must be activated.
       
    Add option/b to the driver in the CONFIG. SYS to enable INT 13 h support
    and re-start the system.

    Run FDISK displays now the shuttle HDD as well.

    Win 95:

    1 uninstall or prevent a shuttle loading MPD

    Procedure:
    To uninstall the shuttle MPD in Device Manager expand SCSI
    Adapters section, select the entry for the device of the shuttle,
    Click on delete. Confirm when the confirmation dialog box appears and
    Reboot the system to reflect the change.
    The entrance to the MPD shuttle now will no longer appear in Device Manager
    under SCSI cards.
    The MPD is NOT deleted it has installed the path.
    To prevent the MPD of shuttle loading, in Device Manager, expand
    the item of SCSI cards, and then at the entrance of the MPD shuttle.
    Click Properties and uncheck the box that reads Original
    [Current] configuration.
    Re-start the system, the MPD will not charge.
    (This can be checked by the Red 'X' that will appear
    alongside the MPD entry in Device Manager.)

    2 assignment/Reassigning the drive letter of the device of the shuttle

    Procedure:
    In Device Manager, select the device from the shuttle by clicking on it,
    Click the settings tab, change the drive letter appears.
    Reboot the system to reflect the change.

    3 shuttle MPDs running on machines not standard parallel port
    Addresses basic or IRQ.

    Solution:
    On machines like the NEC 9800 series, the MPD requires that be explicitly
    with the parallel port IRQ and port values.
    In Device Manager, expand the item of SCSI cards, click on the
    Shuttle MPD, click Properties, select the settings tab and type
    base port and the IRQ values as follows:
    PORT = 0xYYY IRQ = Z
    The prefix 0 x is required. YYY is the port of departure for example 140 and Z is the
    IRQ 12 value for example.

    4. the shuttle hard/removable disk drive and FDISK

    Solution:
    To partition the HARD drive of the shuttle with the command FDISK, INT 13 h
    support must be enabled.
    In Device Manager, select the device from the shuttle, click on properties,
    Check the box relating to Int 13 support and re-start the system.

    Run FDISK displays now the shuttle HDD as well.

    5. general controls and advice on improving overall performance

    a. make sure that the configuration of the CMOS setting for the parallel port
    and the setting in Device Manager is the same.
    (b) ensure that there is no Port Base and IRQ comes into conflict with others
    devices such as sound cards.
    c. If the compatible parallel port EPP, ensure that the parallel port
    in the system CMOS is set to EPP.
    d. to step to the top performance of the system, in the Control Panel,.
    Select system, select the performance tab, click file system.
    ensure that the Performance is set to Full.
    e. Select the Troubleshooting tab and make sure that writing it back
    Cache is enabled. These are usually the default settings.

    1. in the start of Windows NT does not recognize cartridge not
    drive letter is assigned.

    Windows NT will not assign a drive letter unless a cartridge has a

    Would appreciate help from the members of the Forum.

    The drive on my Acer Z5610 is overheating and stop unexpectedly. I bought a new 1 TB WD HARD drive.

    The only access I have for execution of orders made by the tasks Manager command-line and F11. What is this 'locked' drive, anyway? Someone at - it any information on that?

    Hello Lara.

    IF you have updated from 8 to 8.1 and the process was interrupted during installation, this may damage the disc and therefore locked error. "Refreshing" the system would not be the answer that you need to clean install Windows 8 again. 8.1 update can break the bond of the recovery partition, especially if it has become corrupted as indicated.

    You must clean up the installation with the recovery discs, you must have created before you updated to 8.1.

    In addition, if you do not have the recovery disks, you can buy a set of HP or install a regular copy of Windows 8 and then update the drivers manually. HP has the Windows key now integrated into the bios.

  • Latest version of the driver AT/GPIB/TNT built with VAT Statement - 32.h?

    Context: AT-GPIB/TNT card linking 488.2 driver see 1.70 in Win98 TransEra HTBasic 8.3, driver GPIBNI. A device on the bus requires that interrupts is disabled. This allows this device works properly, but other devices hang. For NI Spy restores proper operation, which seems to indicate a timing problem. Technical support TransEra agrees with this assessment. Earlier versions of their software (non-Windows) error-free work. So the problem is their driver interfacing to the pilot of 1.70.

    8.3 is not the current version, they are not too motivated to fix it. However, they did look at history and found this:

    "One of our engineers did some research and I could at least limit change that probably caused the problem. Apparently, our driver GPIBNI was built using the VAT Statement - research online and 32.h include file, this file has been replaced by OR with NI488.h. He was not able to know exactly which version of the software OR it was replaced, but NEITHER are likely to help with this, or you can try just a couple of their older versions. »

    So the question is, what is the latest version of the driver OR card AT-GPIB/TNT for Windows 98 built using the VAT Statement - 32.h include file? And where can I get a copy of it? TransEra suggesting that as the solution.

  • Pavilion g4-1100au: cannot download the driver (sp64116.exe)

    Hello, I tried to download a driver for several days, but it stops downloading almost as soon as it starts.

    It is be the sp64116.exe file, but it seems to be a general problem with the download server. When I try with Google Chrome, it stops after about 16 MB (the file is about 350 MB). When I try with Internet Explorer, I get a message saying downloading is interrupted and I went back several times - but it downloads only about 10 MB and then is interrupted again.

    Unfortunately, driver download pages all have some sort of script to download software files. There is no way to enter a URL or use FTP or torrent or something like dropbox to get the file directly.

    Please can you must solve this problem or provide alternative means to download the driver files.

    Another problem with the pages of drivers, is that if you select an OS like Windows 8 and drivers that you need happens to be Windows 7 drivers, then it will not be displayed in the list. Apparently there are several devices to an HP laptop that does not work directly with Windows 8 (or 10?) and you need to get the name of the device (and it is not one easy way to know what devices are built the laptop, if Intel or Qualcomm or Radox or another) and find the specific driver for this particular device file.

    Y at - it another site (other HP sites where the drivers can be downloaded directly or through ftp or torrent clients or something?

  • No Solution center after you download the driver for HP Photosmart D110

    My friend has a Touchsmart 300 PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded and installed the driver and the latest software, or so I thought. I downloaded the D110a driver and software. There was also a D110b but I do not know the difference. The printer worked very well for its network, but there is no Solution Center or additional software installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times without success. I also got "Fatal Error". When you try to open the solution Center, there is a message box with different solutions on how to fix: did not complete installation, use the CD (we tried), or go to "Configuration files" on the computer other options. Nothing has worked. Should I have downloaded the D110b driver and software?

    I appreciate your help.

    Erna

    Erna - I'm at a loss and you are probably right, go to the register to search only the HP files dealing with the printer on an HP machine would probably be very long and delicate.  I had a Sony so I have them cleared out by searching "HP" and then looking at each register who came and delete those I knew come from HP software.

    To Sherwindu - yours sounds like an installation problem that might be able to be erased by a full unistall and reinstall from the website not a CD Rom  In addition, during the installation make sure you have a strong internet connection.  I know that I have DSL (and a small DSL to this) who gets interrupted all the time and had difficulty to install the HP software because of that with many tries sometimes to do things.

    Each of you - material is generally NOT a problem of HP, which means that in general, their hardware devices are made robust enough.  My experience and my knowledge of HP and its service which is their software to run their devices is usually wrong and their organization so large with so many products that their technical departments are overwhelmed and just giving the standard corrections.  You have both found not a good internet connection without own interruption during installation, or the software is not properly written (I know that their Vista drivers weren't properly writings/facts for my HP machine, but that's another story).

    Good luck to you two.
