cutisman50: HELP... HELP..... HELP...
Pls my Hp compaq nc612o widows XP is hanging,
some times it will trip off by itself when im busy.
i have flashed it but it is still doing the same thing
flashing or formatting would not help anything. Does your system heat up? If it does then Your system is overheating and trips off so as not to fry your motherboard. Its either your system fan is bad and needs replacement or is clogged with lots of dirt. Also conflicting hardware or inappropriate device driver installation might cause the tripping. Make sure you check and see you are using the manufacturer's recommended drivers.

did you buy it brand new? Your system is having hardware conflicts. If its new and warranty still intact i will advise you return it if otherwise. I suspect the hard disk going nuts also you might need a bios update. Whats the system model?

semid4lyfe: Tried all these without success yesterday before coming online and I've done it again still no show. The External HD still appears as a local disk (RAW file), a format which Windows is unable to mount.

See screenshots from disk management and properties of the external hd
still mobile but got this step by step method of the site.

If TestDisk is not yet installed, it
can be downloaded from
TestDisk Download. Extract the
files from the archive including
the sub-directories.
To recover a lost partition or
repair the filesystem from a
hard disk, USB key, Smart Card,
etc., you need enough rights to
access a physical device.ng Under Windows, start
TestDisk (ie
testdisk-6.13/
testdisk_win.exe )
from an account in the
Administrator group. Under Vista,
right-click testdisk_win.exe and
then "Run as administrator" to
launch TestDisk.Choose None if you do not want
messages and details of the
process to be written into a log
file (useful if for example
Testdisk was started from a
read-only location).
Press Enter to proceed.Disk selection
All hard drives should be
detected and listed with the
correct size by TestDisk:
Use up/down arrow keys to
select your hard drive with the
lost partition/s.
Press Enter to Proceed TestDisk displays the partition
table types.
Select the partition table type -
usually the default value is the
correct one as TestDisk auto-
detects the partition table type.
Press Enter to Proceed.
Current partition table
status
TestDisk displays the menus Use the default menu "Analyse"
to check your current partition
structure and search for lost
partitions.
Confirm at Analyse with Enter to
proceed.
Now, your current partition
structure is listed. Examine your
current partition structure for
missing partitions and errors The first partition is listed twice
which points to a corrupted
partition or an invalid partition
table entry.
Invalid NTFS boot points to a
faulty NTFS boot sector, so it's a
corrupted filesystem.
Only one logical partition (label
Partition 2) is available in the
extended partition. One logical
partition is missing.
Confirm at Quick Search to
proceed.
Quick Search for partitions
Confirm according to your OS
and created partitions to
proceed.
TestDisk displays the first
results in real time. quick
search (click on thumb to display the
image).
During the Quick Search,
TestDisk has found two
partitions including the missing
logical partition labeled
Highlight this partition and press
p to list your files (to go back to
the previous display, press q to
Quit).
All directories and data are
correctly listed.
Press Enter to proceed.
Save the partition table or
search for more partitions?
Still a bit technical. Try it out if however it does not recover the partition you might have to wait a lil longer or take it to a certified technician. Sometimes there's a limit to those diy routines.

Stop whining. It all boils down to abuse posiitions and power. How many times has seun deliberately edited posts responding to his comments. He once edited a personal comment i made to him which was in no way offensive. He doesn't have a right to chide another person when in this position he has little or no clue of what the real issues are.

As far as i am concerned this is trying to save face .I don't support all these over bearing powers and We really need more transparency on the forum.

I'll be grateful for any help I can get towards resolving this. See my screenshots

The partition table is corrupt. Click on the above link to download the free trial of the software. Please. This is time to learn you don't keep files in only one location . Having backups won't hurt. The link below is a step by step guide on how to use the app.

IT'S a Nigerian thing to shorten i am to am which is very wrong. The am should have the I at the back always. Just because its shortened with the use of the inverted comma does not make it am. Am is a very different word from I'm. Its just like someone writing "is" when intending to write she's or he's.

ok. I understand you. You can go to shops that have a name to protect and offer warranties or guaranty on goods bought. They are less likely to sell fake products as they know people would return them. Also maybe you state your budget here. Might be able to give you options and places you can source the originals.

m ayorall: Yeah. You are communicating.
okay. On will and would. I got this from yahoo answers.
Would" is a word that
inflicts the past.
"Will" inflicts the
present or the
future.
For example:
"Would you have
eaten that if I told
you what was in
it?" (past)
"Will you come with
me
please?" (present)
"Will you do me a
favor
tomorrow?" (future)
So your sentences
can be:
Mr X. said to tell you
he will be here in a
moment or two.
He said to tell you he
will be back.
This way, please. Mr
X. said to tell you he
will be here shortly.
Mr.X said to tell you
he will be in later to
speak with you.
Others:
Mr. X would have
been here to meet
you yesterday.
Mr. X said he would
have liked to be here
to meet you this
morning

MManuel: People make this mistake toooooo much
yeah. Thanks for pointing it out. I was using a phone and never cross checked before posting.
The words this and these are used before singular and plural nouns respectively. In the case above the subject "words" carries an 's' thus making it plural. This as used up there is incorrect and should have been these.

Examples, These cars and not This cars. These houses are painted blue and not this houses are painted blue. Thanks once again .

Will and would? Hmmm. .. Are those also confusing?
