Startup problem; XP continuously restarts. Can not read files

I have a problem starting with a computer that running Windows XP SP1a upgrade to SP3. It belongs to another Member of my family, which has switched off the power when a BOUNCING mouse problem has prevented the normal shutdown procedure.  At startup, it shows the screen boot options that if I choose "Safe Mode" or "Start Windows normally" it loads normally to the point where it shows the screen of flying windows for a while, becomes empty briefly, then restarts.

I tried to leave, he in Repair Mode using the Windows Setup disc in the hope to repair the startup files, but have problems to read the files on the C; drive. If I try to look at the records, or change to a different folder, I get the error messages like "invalid drive specification" or "an error occurred during directory enumeration" I guess that's because the XP SP1a installation disc which I use can not handle the 80 GB hard drive and the NTFS file format.

Is it possible I can get access to the boot files

I solved the problem

After the announcement of this question, I ran CHKDSK from the repair mode and it corrects an error in the file system, and I was able to start Windows.  As a precaution, I have since set a system restore to a few days point more earlier than when the problem occurred, and all goes well now.

  • Can not read files in Simulator

    I used a folder on my pc to the SD card file system.

    I used the following code to read the file that I copied to the shared folder. But the app could not find the file. In debug mode, it appears an error code 1003.

    Try
    {
    FileConnection fconn = (FileConnection) Connector.open ("file:///Media Card/my.xml");
    If (! fconn.exists ())
    {
    System.out.println ("the file do not exist!");
    }
    }
    catch (IOException e) {}
    System.out.println (e.getMessage ());
    }

    I also tried to use the FilePickerDemo which is an example of a project. The FilePickerDemo can navigate in the file but can not find the file my.xml either.

    Does anyone know where I could be wrong? I worked on this question since yesterday afternoon. Thank you very much!

    BTW, I use 8900 Simulator, Windows 7 Pro 32 bit Eclipse with the plug-in.

    The Simulator freezes after a while, it looks like a memory leak. Also, if I use the simulator of 9550's, it could be worse. The simulator of 8350's is the only does not freeze at any time. Anyone happens to know on this issue?

    Problem solved. The directory must be file:///SDCard/xxxxxx

    I misunderstood to file:///Media card/xxxxxxxx, since when I've explore it media, is what shows on the screen.

  • can not read files is mod more

    Hello

    "I think that ' since I upgraded to final cut pro and the new OSX, I can't read my files is a mod for all older projects that I've done.

    I connect etc, fcp detects files, the film is always black with no sound. How can it be resolved?

    Thank you and best regards. Kristof

    Had to look at this mod to the top: old mechanical Stoppers video consumer or Amiga file extension. You will probably need to find some obscure App video conversion that Final Cut Pro X has been out for five years. Earlier, you started using it?

    An article of the wiki:

    The first version of the format was created by Karsten Obarski for use in the Ultimate Soundtracker; Tracker software available for the Amiga computer in 1987. [1] [2] the format has since been supported by hundreds of playback programs and dozens of other trackers.

    The original version of the MOD format featured four channels of simultaneous audio playback, corresponding to the capabilities of the original Amiga chipset, and up to 15 instruments.

    Later variations of the format have extended up to 32 channels and 31 instruments.

    The format has been designed to be directly playable on the Amiga without additional processing: for example, samples are stored in 8-bit PCM format ready to be played on the Amiga DACs, and given on the profiles are not packed. Reading required very little time CPU on an Amiga, and many games used MOD files for their background music.

    Is wrong, is that the magic number "M.K." in the offset 0 x 438 of MOD files are the initials of Mahoney and Kaktus, two prominent Amiga most in time, who played an important role in the popularity of the format. They actually represent the initials of Michael Kleps alias unknown / DOC, another developer of the format. [3]

  • Player can not read files after transfer

    Hello world. I'm using ubuntu 8.10, MSC mode.

    My drive cannot read s mp3 I have tranfered on it. My computer can read and transfer files very well, but when I disconnect it the display freezes when updating of its database. I let it go for about 20 minutes, several times, still nothing.

    What has not worked:

    -now the Start button / stop for 15 seconds

    -updated to latest firmware

    -formatting and transferring all the files again

    any ideas?

    An update: form and using MTP mode with Rythymbox seems to have solved my problem. I am a user of Exaile, I couldn't PSG works with it before - that's why I was using MSC mode in the first place. Another player in the middle of a song by freezing twice yesterday (which he never did before) I can transfer and delete files very well. I think an update to Nautilus/GNOME must have broken something. I hope that this thread helps someone.

    I bought a new carmera and Photoshop CS4 camera Raw can not read the ARW files.  I downloaded the lateset update but still can not read how can I get this problem solved thanks

    Hi tonyf,.

    Greetings!

    Each device is compatible with a minimum version of camera raw.

    Here is the complete list: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

    Please check if you have this version of the camera installed which include your raw files.

    It would also be that your photoshop will not have to install this version of camera raw as its very old.

    In this case, you can convert your raw files to DNG and can use it.

    To convert the files to DNG, you must download and install the DNG Converter.

  • Re: Satellite P500 of USA - can not read the local DVD

    Hello

    Sorry to appear such a luddite acquired but this laptop great USA from eBay.
    User manual appears to indicate that the player is going to adapt to the locality of the drives I want to play.

    Not had any luck with playback at all to this day, the error message 'not compatible' etc., any guy of suggestions?

    See you soon,.
    Michael

    Hi mate

    I think that the portable player s (optical disc) DVD region is set in the United States and therefore you can not read the DVD released for the European market.

    To resolve this problem, you must change the option of DVD region 2 region.

    My computer-> drive CD / DVD-> properties-> Hardware tab-> choose the CD drive / DVD-> properties-> DVD region

    Notes; You can change this settings ONLY 4 times. After that the parameters is no longer editable.

  • Computer to read DVD - one message says that I can not read the DVD, except that I have installed a new driver.

    I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?

    Hi Bill,

    To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible.  Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba?  By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?

    As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this.  Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true.  Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found.  They should be able to help you.  They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation.  I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it.  Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • can not read attachments Notepad

    When I get Notepad attachments via email, its gobbledgook all the

    What is a notebook accessory?  Do you mean a .txt file type (or another type of file that is supposed to open with Notepad)?  Go to start / Default programs / associated with a file or Protocol with a program and highlight the file type of the attachment (the extension to three digits following the name of the file) and make sure that Notepad is selected to open this type of file.  This happens with all Notebook Accessories?  Try opening a Notepad file on your system that you can read and send email to yourself and see if you can read in the email - if yes, then the process works properly and issues is with these attachments.

    If the notebook is properly selected, perhaps these file extensions are incorrect - they do not represent the real file of the file type (so Vista using the wrong program to try to open).  Or maybe that extensions are correct, but they were created by another program that is unable to read the notebook (which happens with some programs where the notebook is considered the value by default but can not read these files, because they were created in a way that cannot interpret the notebook).  Discover the sender, this program was used to create the files - you may need to get some programs which can display these types of files.

    I hope this helps.
