When I boot from disk, it says it cannot complete due to something with the hard disk. I ran the chkdsk, but it seems to freeze up. I don't know why, but I cannot get online with the laptop and I have no audio anymore. The volume thing in the system tray is gone. When I turn it on, my background will appear and nothing else. It takes like 5 minutes to load the taskbar.do you get a blue screen?
if so, run the repair when booting on the windows disk, type chkdsk.
Gold is a worthless investment IMO. It is an arbitrary standard. Perhaps water or timber if I wanted to be safe.
I think I bought some stuff with mine...I forget what though.
It says "Setup could not find any hard disk installed on the computer"
How do I do that? I'm thinking about just buying a new HDD. I wanted a bigger one anyways.hey Shaun you HD more than likely has a corrupt block. You probably need to partition it.
Laptop or desktop? not that it matters as far as the process just curiosHow do I do that? I'm thinking about just buying a new HDD. I wanted a bigger one anyways.
That's a good bet. If it has some bad blocks then more will follow. From your usage it seems like you need more space than that anyway.How do I do that? I'm thinking about just buying a new HDD. I wanted a bigger one anyways.
heh you put up 12.5 and I will too.I wish I could afford real time option quotes...instead of relying on 20 minute delays.
Was the laptop dropped? Do you hear a certain repeated noise while its loading everything? Like a noise that has a pattern to it?When I boot from disk, it says it cannot complete due to something with the hard disk. I ran the chkdsk, but it seems to freeze up.
