mercylicious: Plz my ppl, I have a challenge.
I have hp 6000 pro sff dt is having windows issue.
On booting, It prompts d error message, dt a windows file is missing and dt I shld repair.
I've tried using d two types of repair on win xp bootable cd ( chkdsk repair and the full repair) but it seems the pc was built nt to accept this kind of repair.
I have also used the os dt came wit it, put d os, it asks for the restore cd, put the restore cd, it confirms is geniune , put back d os and repair, but all to no avail.

Each time I have d issue, I back up and format. Bt this reinstallation takes my time as I have a lot of other applications to install and configure.

I feel someone in this forum shld have a solution to this repair issue.

wolebaba:

what operating system are you running on. you may need to restore your PC first before installing any Antivirus. for a start download the Kasparky virus removal tool and run on your PC.

connect the usb modem

Press the Windows key and R key simultaneously. A Run box appears.


Type Devmgmt.msc, then press Enter. This loads the Device Manager.


Double-click on Universal Serial Bus controllers


Double-click on USB Root Hub.
You may have more than one USB Root
Hub listed in the Device Manager.
Double-click on any one of the USB Root Hubs.


Click on the Power Management tab.


Uncheck the box next to Allow the computer
to turn off this device to save power.

repeat this steps for everything underneath
universal serial bus controllers. some may not
have power management as option don't bother with them
just the one with power management and remove the tick

Push the OK button and close the Device Manager.

Continue using the modem as you would normally do and
and take note of any changes.

wolebaba:

You original files are still there hidden and replaced by the .exe files.

To Restore your files:

Start-All programs-accessories-System tools- system restore
you will see a dialogue box on restore. (Choose a date before the Virus started its wahala)
OK and your system will be restored.

to see your files:

open the flash drive.
click on the "tools" tab then click on "folder option" from the drop down.
From the folder option dialogue box, click on the view tab and check the "show all files,folders and drives" option.
click OK.

you should now see all your hidden files and copy them out.

Goodluck.

Emzybrown:
thanks sir i did as u said but its not resolved yet,which antivirus do u recomend 4 me and hw much is it?

wolebaba:

I can do a remote connection to resolve your issue. But:

Do U have good internet access? This very necessary for remote desktop.
Do you have the teamviewer app? Download and install the app on your desktop,send me the ID and password.


CAUTION: I may be a hacker looking to steal your info. Lolz am only trying to let you know the implications.

deji2009:

let's woleba remot fix your system and the if no joy.
make sure you have previously followed all wolebaba advice.
make suure you're asking the antivirus to point to the right
usb stick and not your compu..hard drive. have you tried malwarebyte ?

do you have sgns like recycle $ sign on the usb stick
if at the end of the day nothing happens.Last resort

click start and run and type in cmd a black bnox should appear
Once all d infected files are removed from d pen drive,
go to command prompt or CMD on your computer and run the
following DOS command. Here we assume that the Flash drive
is G: drive. If its not G: then replace G with correct letter
as applicable.
ATTRIB -H -R -S /S /D G:\*.*

or

Click on the Windows Start button.
Click on Computer or My Computer tab. It
will show your Flash drive icon there.
Right click on your flash drive and choose Properties.
Click on Tools
On the new dialog box, under Error checking
to fix your flash drive, Click Check Now button.

Thne test it

deji2009:

Good point by wolebaba. It would appear the error msg should be something like
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SYSTEM file is missing or corrupt

or HALL, NTLDR,
NTDETECT CONFIG. SYS, loader
kernel HAL
boot drivers
system registry hive

The computer needs to be instructed to cop
the corrupted file from the cd into the installation
path.if you have an original cd as suggested by wolebaba it
may do it automatically but i doubts that happening.

specify the actual error msg to us so we can give you the command
to type. it best to get the correct windows xp cd. if you installed
xp home get home cd or professional vice versa. does not really matter as
such as they both use the same system files but would recommend to get the
correct one

What's the full error msg please ?

Pls guys help me reply to this
as am going to work and may not
be able to reply within the next 24hrs

mercylicious:

Thanks for your response. The issue doesn't keep happening to a particular pc, I manage close to 120Pcs, so Its on different pcs.
The error message is ;
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SYSTEM file is missing or corrupt
I have both d restore cd and OS. I also have win xp which I use to repair pc's, bt this particular model of hp- 6000pro small form factor is d one giving me issues. Has anyone fixed this particular model? And also 6200pro sff?. If u use d option of bootable, after loading the os frm cd, it will tell u an error occured, either from a recent hardware or ....
I've tried slaving it and copying files frm dt path on a working pc, bt it can't be copied.
Please any further advise.

Debokan: Good day guys. I have a Toshiba e-STUDIO 151 photocopier. I've searched online for the driver so I can use it as a scanner/printer also but cant find any reliable one. I'll be very grateful if someone helps me out here. Thanks.

Debokan:

Someone pls help me out.

wolebaba:

Have U searched the Toshiba website? I am not a Toshiba fan because of their lack of proper service centre. Well I will look it out for you in the morning.

What OS are you using?

deji2009:

Pls answer these in order

HP model number pls? e.g., HP DV6000

flashing white cursor on the black screen ?

Any peripherals attached ?

Is it Nvidia video graphics

can it boot to safe mode by pressing f8,
does this behavior happen when going to safe mode

we could run system restore in safe mode by turning the
clock to a time when it works ok

Has this been happening for a long time now ?

Enter the bios by f10 and run diagnostics Hard drive test,
if you have enough battery or if it is AC powered run the
memory test as well.so we know that they all ok.

Has it ever had a graphic re-flow before ?

wolebaba:

I have resolved this issue before. I actually tot my method was crude and silly back then but now I see that it wasn't.

After going tru all the above stated options:

I looked for a perfectly healthy PC of the same model and slaved its HD then copy out the required file.

I then slaved the faulty PC's HD and copied the missing files into them. Se you understand sha. If not send me sms on o8o23996132 hope U have BB I will send U ma PIN. Then we can work together, but only in the evenings.

Really hope this works for you!!!!

Emzybrown:

thankz boss i have final resolved and repair my lappy and flash drive,i did it through thorough using google,thanks to google i have so many peepz with same probz with me,so the white guru on many site did help me tackle the deadly malware autorun.inf its hides file and convert them with same name with .exe,the ish is dat the virus cant be detected or deleted by some of our nonupdated antivirus,flash driver disinfector wont work on windows7,i used autorun eater software to detect the malware buh cnt delete it,so i did stop the malware frm running tru windows taskbar status, blocked using windows firewall,and also deleted frm regedit and disabled from msconfig.
Hahaha now am free frm the malware,so how can i prevent future reoccurence?

wolebaba:

Get a gud antivirus...wat U did is an ingenious way to stop the Virus from running. It still has to be removed. To prevent a re-occurence, always scan any USB stick U wanna use on yo lappy.

Treat your device nicely people....se you see all the wahala U have to go tru to resolve this problem.
