From the information provided: 1. The first time you got the HDD bad, most probably the partition table was bad to the worst case to be corrupted boot sector and first few MBs (done by popular virus CIH). 2. After Win XP wrote onto it you may have lost some more area. 3. You should try good data...

Your drive is certainly dead. Only you can try is by replacing the logic card of your HDD with some good working one and try. I had done a lot of data recovery but no software applications are available for such failure. After opening the drive, you can see the parts of the HDD and that will...

Continuous beeping during post may have many meaning depending on the BIOS- 1. Memory error 2. BIOS checksum error check manual of your motherboard. Prime suspect in memory, try changing it and setting in BIOS. Try to use failsafe settings. TV tuner card is also suspect for freezing...

First try to find that failure is in hardware or software. To detect, try booting from DOS disk with network support and check for the connection with other working systems. Following URL may be helpful. http://www.wown.com/j_helmig/Dosclnt.htm If it is software, try reinstalling windows...

Most probably the problem is of loose connection, try resitting all the connectors (and even BIOS on the M/B by pressing it if in socket and the RAMs). Upgrading BIOS may help otherwise the problem should be with M/B. Use your own wisdom to isolate the faulty part by repalcing and checking...

For HDD, just delete temp file from windows\temp and other temporary directory. Flush the recycle bin and run scandisk to correct the Free Disk Space in Boot sector. As far as burning CD is concerned, you should check for other Burning programs for compatibility. Usually the burning plugins...

As per the data given, Memory is prime suspect. and secondary the M/B. Try replaceing the RAM if available or try failsafe setting in BIOS i.e. reducig speed of RAM, removing Burst write, delayed transaction and interleaving etc. Disabling the quickboot and testing whole memory in BIOS setup may...

It seems that the basic system files are corrupted. That is all causing your recovery CD to not to run, modem not to work etc. You may try to run Sustem File Checker (Run>SFC)and try virus detection tool. If your recovery CD can work from DOS prompt, try to get win98 startup disk and run it from...

Can you list the Partitions on the drive with approx size and the demo tools you tried. I have some and I think the job can be done. Again on which partition, the required data resides. If needed, you may contact directly to my mailbox. Chetan Prajapat

Only two reason: 1. Most prabably, HDD power down in energy saving feature is enabled and a low value is selected. Check thru control panel. 2. Less probable is that your HDD is developing bad sectors. Solution may be to low level format the HDD. Best of the luck.

Seemingly it is power problem or loose IDE cable. Just change the 4 point connector (middle two wire black) with available free one and press the IDE (wide grey cable) hard against drive. Also check sitting of cable on M/b.

Probably you are connecting the drive on secondary channel on which CDROM is already present as slave. If not so disconnect all the other drives from one channel and connect the drive and try to detect it. If it works, setup the jumpers appropriately.

If you heard clicking sound fro HDD, It is sign of HDD getting damaged. You may try the Disk Manager of the manufacturer to low level format and by zero filling the drive. If Zero fill fails, drive is gone. If it passes, fdisk the drive and format it (if like SYS format) and then run Scandisk...

BIOS itself has checksum and will give checksum error if corrupted. Just check if FDD can read/write properly. I think you drive or the FDD itself is bad. Or you may have installed ONTRACK or similar overlay. Boot sequence in Setup plays very important role. check them with manual of M/B If...

The problem seems to be related to RAM or BIOS. Just try to load the defaults or Fail Safe parameters in Setup and try to boot. In advance setup, make memory realted parameter to the slowest one, disable interleaving, burst etc. set CAS to highest value (3) and try. This may be problem due to...
