Windows XP installation appears completely - but doesn't do anything.

Hello!

I just spent the last three hours trying to reinstall Windows XP (SP3) on a computer. I used a typical drive and ran through the usual steps.

I choose to format the hard drive freshly install Windows. It took almost an hour and a half to get into shape, then a few minutes to do the installation.

Then, it starts in Windows - nothing had changed. Installing windows system and old entire file was completely intact.

What is the problem with that!

Not sure why the format didn't work, I'd do a "full" format But before you start running Partition Wizard or one of the hard drive to write zerros disk utilities, which will remove any reminants of the previous version.

Partition Wizard Home Edition:
http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
Note: There is also a CD bootable or versions of the bootable Flash drive:
http://www.partitionwizard.com/Partition-Wizard-bootable-CD.html
http://www.partitionwizard.com/bootable-Flash-drive.html
Among the features and functions: create partition, Delete partition, format partition,.
A partition resize, move partitions, Partition recovery after an accidental deletion,
Convert the partition, partition Explore, Hide partition,
Change the drive letter, a partition active Set, Explorer (content display) of the partition.
Note: To complete any task use the "Pending Operations" box at the bottom left.

Hard drive test - CD Bootable: (some utilities like WdDiag can write zerros to the first and the last part of the disk that should do the job)
If you have a new hard drive Seagate the very next thing would be to download Seagate Seatools (bootable CD)
and check bad sectors:

    ANY THOUGHTS WHY INSTALL THE PIA IS A FAILURE?
    Thank you

    I don't know if the deployment of PIA has failed. You do not check the files in the directory to the right path.
    Try under $PS_HOME/webserv /.

  • Why can't get 13 elements Photoshop to open in Windows 10 on my surface 3 pro, even after several reinstall attempts? The installation is complete, but when I click on the shortcut, nothing happens.

    I tried several times to reinstall Adobe elements 13 on my pro 3 surface. Since the Windows 10 update, it never worked, opening only briefly and then crashing once the installation is complete. I really have the drive, but I tried the version online as well. Both have the same results.

  • On 10 Windows, Firefox installs and loads, but crashes at about 15 seconds later, even if I do nothing. This can be corrected?

    This was happening on Windows 8.1, just until I upgraded. There are so many updates happening that I don't know what could have triggered this. I think I had just updated Flash and I see some comments on this. I tried the beta version of Firefox with the same results. It of just crazy that it installs and actually loads, but only for a few seconds and then it freezes and comes from the box with the message to send to Mozilla. So far, no help from them. A few times he asked me to synchronize my Firefox and this process has started, but then it crashed before it finished.

    Sorry, you're not on a Mac. This is a correct version of the above for Windows:

    Thanks for incident reports. Unfortunately, I think you need to temporarily disable or remove the iCloud bookmarks extension until the source of the problem or conflict is determined.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox. A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Then, you can delete favorite iCloud of page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then you can find it on the right side.

    After leaving Firefox and run it again (not holding SHIFT), runs from Firefox?

  • Application builder appears complete but does not create executable not

    I'm working on a major project (~ 5000 screws, LV2011 SP1, Win7 32 bit) and have recently from problems with the Application Builder. This is after 3-4 years of success is based on this project...

    When I try to build my application of following higher level occurs:

    1. "build status' window opens as usual and starts the processing of my file:

    2. Subsequently, the progress bar reaches about halfway and the message becomes "Compilation."... » :

    3. then the progress bar jumps sharply at the end and the message becomes "Save...". ». In addition, the 'Done' button becomes active, as if the build is completed. The window remains like this for always. Notes on this dialog box:

    • The 'Explorer' and 'Help' buttons work normally in this State.
    • If I press the 'Done' button (or close the window with the Red 'X') then the window closes but Labview is suspended. The only way out of here is to kill the process in Task Manager.

    4. If I sail in my generation folder so I see temporary build files are still sitting here, i.e. the manufacturer failed to create my exe...

    When I turn on logging, I see that all the files seem to be treated successfully (in comparison with a previous successful build log), but the paper stops before writing the article ' [output file Version]]... ".

    Anyway - I'm trying to restore a large number of small changes to see if I can isolate that my changes of code causing the problem.

    Someone out there knows what could cause request the manufacturer to get as much as he does, thinking it's done (even if this isn't the case)?

    Thanks for all the ideas...

    Well - I finally managed to isolate the problem... Corrupted code is attached!


    The attached code is a version of a dialog box that is used in my project. The question turned out to be associated with the order by radio inside the tab control:

    • If you open the library and then try to REMOVE the two controls private library (simultaneously), then you are greeted with the accident below report. NOTE: Remove the private items one-at-a-time does not cause the accident. (weird...)
    • The same happens if you try to rename the library

    The solution:

    • The inclusion of this library in my project was originally my application build will fail every time.
    • Given that the report mentions "RadioClust.cpp", I made the amazing jump that the question has been connected with the radio control... so I just unplugged all instances of this control their typedef. That seems to have fixed!

    ASIDE: I have not checked if including this library in a different application will cause his generation to not too... Something to try out a rainy day!

    That's how it should be.  Now, you have to click with the right button on the partition (c :)) 150,00 GO NTFS.)  Then you should be able to select "extend volume" in the list.   Go through each selection without changing anything.  When it comes to the size of the extension must only allow you to configure the maximum size of what is available.  You can choose any size between the minimum, what should be the maximum of 455 GB and 150 GB. (FYI the numbers displayed will be slightly different from these figures because of the way actually windows reports disk sizes.)  1 GB = 1024 MB).  Simply select the full value or a value inbetween.  Continue to the end and let windows works.  You should now have a drive C: size more.

    The easiest way would be to install the latest version - unless you already installed it manually.

    Click the Start button > run, type msiexec and press ENTER. A dialog box opens with a text in it - in the upper part of the Windows version Installer appears.

    Hello Lowki11,

    You can also try a System File Checker to see if you have corrupted system files.

    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

    This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

    Reboot your system.

    I hope this helps.
