Scanning for bad sectors will not complete the scan on the c: drive

I'm especially to keep my computer clean and virus-free. I'm doing a viriety of scans on a regular basis. Recently, however, the analysis of bad sectors is competing in 3 of the 4 phases then hangs at 71% on the 4th phase and did not finish the scan. I use Windows XP Pro Media Center Edition on your desktop HP 864n. I tried to use the scan at startup upward as well as the patch file without result system errors. I also tried the safe mode.  I even made a destructive system recovery, windows reinstallation. Nothing helps!

The hard drive is probably bad. Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. If it fails the physical tests (or cannot finish their), replace it. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Problem reinstalling Windows XP

    I'm having a problem reinstalling Windows XP.  After formatting the disk and create partitions, it will not complete the installation.  He goes back and reinstall Windows again.  I go through the installation of 39 minutes, the computer restarts to complete and it loops back and start the installation again. Why it does this and what I can do to move beyond this?

  • Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

    Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

    It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

    It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

    What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  • 6 days years Samsung Mega 6.3 - Skype will not complete the connection process

    I downloaded Skype on my Samsung Mega 6.3 new since I use Skype at work for messaging and want to be able to use it on my new phone like I did on my previous (iphone 4) when you work remotely.

    After entering my microsoft account information, it tries to connect, but starts a loop where it climbs from the home screen to the loading screen and back Skype, constantly.

    If I press the back button, it will make starting Skype and considered as being active on my header bar, but if I try to pull up, we start the loop.

    Phone AT & T. cannot change my APN settings, so change my proxy to 0 will not fix the problem.

    Have you tried to empty cache. No help.

    Have deleted and reinstalled several times now (I think I'm on 5).

    Ideas people? Or I'll just have to in the loop and wait for the next update to use this great software?

    Looks like the update today resolved my problem. I can now use Skype without any problems.

  • NetInstall/Netrestore will not complete the boot process.

    Hello world

    I searched through the forums (and days of Google searches) try various process of troubleshooting with no progress. I hope someone can shed some light on what I'm doing wrong.

    So I'm under OS X Server 5.1.7 (Build 15S 7055) on a iMac (21.5 inch, end 2013) OS X 10.11.6 (Build 15 G 31).

    Try to get a server NetInstall if I can image a full Lab of iMacs (same model as the server)

    Server runs on a closed network offering DHCP clients through a Nortel switch. No firewall, no ports blocked (no connection with the outside world). File sharing and NetInstall are on.

    Clients receive IP addresses and can see each other (sharing, ping, see Manager boot images provided by the file server)

    When you launch Netboot (I use the method 'hold the Option key', but I tested with "n" just with the same result) the client displays all hosted images. For my test, I use a NetInstall image built from the 'install El Capitan' downloaded application from the App Store using system image utility.

    When you attempt to start the client image will display the progress under the apple logo bar and it will take about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to fill full and won't progress of there. Sometimes the progress bar only about 3/4 of the way to make and freeze there for hours.

    Here are the journal entries of NetInstall for my last test:

    I know what I don't see is a BSDP DISCOVER/OFFER but I don't know why.

    Verbose mode on the Client does not give me something that I can understand what it is to do (or not do).

    I literally read the chapter NetInstall and followed the examples set up in OS X Server 5.0 Essentials book and I still don't see why its not working.

    If anyone can enlighten us or if there is more information/papers/tips I can give you please let me know. (I hope, that I forgot to mention something that I didn't want to as it is lengthy and unreadable)

    Thanks in advance.

    Oh, I should mention that I did whitelist the server on the client side.

    I also tested the images via NFS.

  • She launched 'System Restore' now the computer will not complete the installation

    Clean HP Pavilion bought in 2003.  With the help of daughter for school work.  Computer running very slow.  A ran all the relevant boxes virus / malware scans, the old deleted files ' ran fix disk, disk cleanup and defrag, still running slow.  A ran the 'System Restore' edge (press F10 during boot).  It works through the restore program and sit as I just opened the box.  Through the implementation of procedures and click Finish and it is just there for up to 6 hours before I finally gave up.

    Oh Dear Brian, I hope there is no data file on the computer, you will need in the future. The F10 key is the path to the system recovery that restores the computer to the factory settings. It comes to the computer when it was bought new in 2003. It erases all the data files and installed programs from the drive. In other words, you start again:

  • My computer will not complete the update

    I've updated my computer tonight and after the reboot. Until I can connect the "configuration of updates: stage 3 of 3" came, as usual, but this time he remained at 0% for a few seconds and then the computer restarted again. It always restarted it self shot 10 times until I forced to close. Cannot start without failure or something.


    What should I do?

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Google Mobile App will not complete the installation.

    I don't have a data plan, so I can't get the App Store.  This is the case, I went to Google to download Mobile from Google directly (via WiFi).  I was able to do, but when I went to run the application, he said he needed to complete the installation, and after that for a while, he said that it was impossible to complete the installation.  I was always connected to WiFi, as this was happening.  I don't think that it has nothing to do with not having a data plan, as I was able to install the Opera Mini browser (which I deleted it since) without a data plan, but perhaps I'm missing something.
