Thanks, I'll try that tonight. Anyone have any other suggestions? TFK

Hey everyone, I just got a call from a co-worker who is pulling his hair out because he has to image a ton of Compaq 6715B laptops using Symantec Ghost, but he is running into problems. He says Ghost starts up, but freezes almost immediately. He is dropping off the laptop and ghost server to...

I solved my own problem. In the command prompt I typed attrib +s io.sys attrib +s msdos.sys and made a change in autoexec and that fixed it. TFK

I'm trying to create a bootable Ghost CD, and am following the instructions I've been given, and when I boot the laptop with the boot cd I created, I keep getting a 'command.com' error saying it's corrupt or missing. I've replaced the command.com with a different one and recreated the cd, and...

Hey everyone, Recently my company deployed a bunch of HP DC5100 SFF PC's, and some of them are having intermitent booting issues. They won't boot. You hear 4 beeps, then see a red light. Some techs have found that reseating the memory temporarily solves the problem, but it soon returns. Is it...

Hey everyone, My company wants me to pass the HP2-042 Storageworks exam, but doesn't want to send me out to Colorado for training. The web based training on HP's site is minimal at best. Does anyone know of any books, online courses, demo exams, etc, that can help me with this test? Any info...

Nothing in event viewer. Chkdsk didn't show anything either. I really don't want to have to do a re-install and have to start from scratch again. Any other advice? TFK

I don't think it's anything spyware/malware/virus related. I ran full scans with Adaware and Symantic Anti-Virus and found nothing.

Ok, here's what's happening. I have an HP Pavillion a228N with an AMD XP2600+ running XP SP2. I start the computer up, XP starts, and as the programs start to load, it freezes up, and the only thing I can do is reboot by pressing the power button. Can't move the mouse and C-A-D doesn't work. I...

OK, here's my situation. I have an HP Pavillion that has started rebooting on it's own. The longer it's been running, the more frequent the reboots. So I figure it's overheating somehow. I check the CPU fan, it's working. I check the Power Supply fan and that's working. There are no other fans...

The only card I have plugged in is the video card. The C-mos battery is 3v, the same kind that was working in the pc previously. It happens both during cold and warm booting. I ran a full virus scan today and there was no viruses found. Power supply and fans also work fine. I appreciate you...

I replaced the cmos with a brand new battery, and it's still doing the same thing. Any other ideas?

Here's the situation. I have a computer that was working fine. All of a sudden, it doesn't work anymore. I power it up, the computer starts, the fans spin, the hard drive sounds like it's starting up, but I no video, and I don't hear the beep that I normally hear when the pc starts up. I take...

Thanks, I appreciate the help.

Thanks for the reply. Can I just get someone else to confirm that answer, I have a nervous Project Manager who is doubtful.
