• XPS 400 - Windows XP SP2 can not find my two hard drives when you try to install the OS

  Help, please! My XPS 400 system crashed with an error hal.ddl.  Was able to copy my important data on a disk external usb.  Tried to re - install windows XP on the old disk and windows does not recognize the hard drives.  I have two drives a Maxtor 250 GB and a 160 GB Maxtor.  I am able to run the utilities on disks and they spend.  After many trys, I thought since I was my important data on the external usb drive, I would go buy a new HD and start all over again.  I bought a WD 500 GB drive and you guessed it, windows xp couldn't recognize the disc. I use Windows XP service pack 2.  I read that Dell had the F11 recovery tool and I ran with success.  However as I started to load some of my programs on the disk, it seemed super slow and I don't know that I have confidence in it.  What should I do to get Windows XP to recognize my drives on the installer?  FRUSTRATING!

  
  

• How to install WinXP on Satellite L40-139?

  Einf.
  I can't install Windows XP Home edition on my laptop.

  If i press a key to start to install for a view very short time just "Setup inspects the hardware configuration of your computer' and then nothing happened.

  Have someone some practice with it?

  I assume you are using Microsoft WXP CD installations. Am I wrong? Is the visible HARD disk when you start the process facilities?

  I found a few topics on similar problems. As in the other thread suggested that you must first install an Intel Matrix Storage Manager before you continue the installation of XP. The installation is very easy. During the installation process you must press F6 to include the Intel Matrix storage manager from an external USB FDD drive.

  After this instillation please don t HARD drive format but continue installing XP

• DIFx Driver Package install error = 536870141 when you try to install the MFL-ProSuite for a Brother MFC-J870DW printer all in one

  Hi everyone, I have read the various issues pertaining to the Brother software and the IS052 error that I got also.

  I spoke with brother two times and they tell me that I'm missing a driver and if I sent the error message DIFx Driver Package install error = 536870141 to Microsoft, they would be able to provide me with the driver I need.  Brother also had me try to install from the disk and also on their site and I got the same error.

  I am a home user, so not very technical when it comes to drivers, etc..  I know that you need.  So please don't you technique on me.  I have been messing around with this now for almost 2 weeks and can that copy and print.  I can't scan or fax due to this error when you try to install the software.

  I have the disk with the drivers on what I did when we first got the computer.

  I use Windows 7 64-bit.  I really need help so I hope that there is someone who can solve this problem.

  Thank you very much

  Karthik, sorry it took me so long to answer.  I hate it when people do that to me then again I am sorry.

  After trying your suggestions, nothing seemed to work so I asked my son who is a type of systems to help me.  I he provided with suggestions and error message, etc..  He read about all this and then remote connected my suburb.

  He renamed the errorlog and then tried to reinstall the Brother software and got the error.  He was then able to read this file was causing the error without reading through the tone of the error messages.  It turns out that there is a file that brother was looking for in one place, but it was in another.  He copied to where brother was looking for her, has done a reboot, loaded the software without problem.

  I am now scanning and everything works as it should.

  So maybe it's the same problem that others causing a problem.  If they can get the steps to find the error Log, look at the error message that is created in the error log, which will tell them what brother file cannot find and then go from there.

  I don't think I could have done myself, but he knew where to look for such things, and I don't have.

  Thanks again for all the help I got from this forum.

Use disk utility to enable logging or reformat the disc. Can anyone help? (My disk utility shows that she in MAC OS extended (journaled) format.)

  It shows that it is Mac OS extended, not journaled. Click enable logging in the toolbar.

  The thing you read is if you format the drive using the RAID settings you have selected. You have to look at the bottom of the window where it shows the Format.

  I don't understand exactly how errors in the two newspapers are related, but my opinion is that, if I can solve my CheckSUR.log errors, CBS.log errors will disappear to, and then I might even be able to install SP1.

  Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

  For what is interesting, what I ended up doing to solve my problems was to re - install Vista with the 'upgrade' option, so I don't lose any of my files or desktop settings...

  After that, I had a few problems with my OS reinstalled with several (80 +) updates, SP1 and SP2 from catching up.  But overall these problems were minor compared to it, that I lived just to fix some missing files.
