Deleting account

[joe_41786]

Ok i downloaded it and transfered it to my other computer and created the bootable diskette, After that it told me to remove the disk and shut down windows then put the disk back in and power it back on. Now what do i do from here?

[glc]

Exactly what it says. Make sure the floppy drive is first in the boot order.

[joe_41786]

So i have to change the boot order in the BIOS for it to work?

[joe_41786]

Ok i changed the boot order and restarted with the disk in and the floppy drive as the first boot device. Is something supposed to happen or do i have to open something off the floppy?

[glc]

It should boot into a GUI, it will be self-explanatory.

[joe_41786]

I booted it up with the disk in and nothing happened.

[glc]

Did you make the floppy disk according to the instructions? Try downloading it again and use a new floppy disk.

[joe_41786]

Ok, i got it to work, i guess i just had to wait a little longer. It said everything passed, except it said the NTFS 250GB failed. What do i have to do to fix it, and do u need to know anything else from the report.

[glc]

Boot with the XP CD, use the repair console, and run CHKDSK /P.

[joe_41786]

And how do you do that? I ran the XP cd and didnt see anything for repair. Do i have to make the CD-rom the first boot divice and restart with the CD inside?

[glc]

Yes.

Ok when i launch the repair console it gives me a prompt to enter something, but it only lets me enter one letter, it wont let me enter CHKDSK /P.

Please read the article I provided the link for.............

After you start the Windows Recovery Console, you receive the following message:
Microsoft Windows(R) Recovery Console

The Recovery Console provides system repair and recovery functionality.
Type EXIT to quit the Recovery Console and restart the computer.

1: C:\WINDOWS

Which Windows Installation would you like to log on to
(To cancel, press ENTER)?
After you enter the number for the appropriate Windows installation, Windows will then prompt you to enter the Administrator account password.

What is the the number for the appropriate windows installation? And is the administrator password just the password for my account? I just entered 1 the first time then put it my password and it siad it was an incorrect password.

[joe_41786]

I read the article and i dont know what number i am supposed to enter.

[glc]

If there's only one listed, it must be 1, right?

It then will ask you for the ADMINISTRATOR account password - if you never gave that one a password, just hit ENTER.

[joe_41786]

It said that there are one or more errors.

[glc]

Did it fix the errors? You typed chkdsk /p - correct? You have a corrupted hard drive. Do it again but this time type chkdsk /r

[joe_41786]

It said found and fixed one or more errors on the volume.

[glc]

Okay, now run SeaTools again.

[joe_41786]

It siad the NTFS failed, is it ok the i ran all the tests on everything simultaneously?

[glc]

If the NTFS still failed, you are looking at a reformat and reinstall.

[joe_41786]

Ok, can u tell me how to do that, and will i lose all the stuff currently on my hard drive?

[glc]

Yes, you will lose everything.

Boot with the XP CD and choose setup, delete all partitions, and install XP in the resulting unallocated space.

[joe_41786]

Ok i reformatted and reinstalled, then i installed the drivers. And i connected the thernet cable and it restarted again, is it possible it could be a hardware problem?

[glc]

Did you ever run memtest86+?

[joe_41786]

i was was reading this post while doing a daily virus scan when i came across this, not sure, but this might be your problem.
