The Ctl+Alt+del is done when the "NTLDR missing" message comes up. Windows is not even active at that point. What I did notice is that when I do get into windows and I try to defrag one of my hard drives, I get a message stating that a chkdsk is scheduled to run on that disk. I can't defrag...

Well, I dont even have my floppy connected, but I do have a usb key plugged in. But, it is not even in my boot sequence. What's weird is that I can just do the ctl + alt + del and after two-three times, it will boot fine, so it seems like a hit/miss thing. How can it say that it is missing...

When I try to boot my pc, I get the following error? NTLDR is missing. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help! I did redo the ends just to cover my bases and to keep the little woman happy. She was more concerned about it than I was.

I made my own patch cords, first timer. I made 4 cords that go from my router to my home network. I have plugs that go to 4 different locations in my house. I tested the 4 cords that I made and they each worked just fine. I am only using these two foot cords to go from the router to the...

I backed up my workspace and now I can no longer open anything. I try to open up my server and receive the following error: unable to open part: XXXXX Where XXX is my server name. I get similar errors when trying to open Java and JSP files as well. Has anyone ever had this happen? If so...

Gus, If you don't want to mess around inside the box I would suggest getting a usb external hard drive. Now, you can do one of a couple of things, you could ghost your drive and put the ghost image onto the external hard drive. You could simply go out and copy everything that you want to...

I have been trying to figure out why I can't see anything written to a file. I can create the directory, create the file, but when it comes to writing anything to it, I can't. Here is the code: try { String dirName = ("c:\\AOSFTP"); String aosFileName = ("aosFtpFile.txt"); File aosFileDir...

I just found a 250 gig at comp usa for $80. You should be able to find a usb/firewire case for about $35-40. You should still have enough left over for dinner and a beer! The deals are out there, you just have to look. Slickdeals.net is a good one to look at ever once in a while.

I had to also press the Fn key while pressing the F3 key on boot up. Got into the BIOS after doing that. Got the OS loaded just fine. Thanks.

I would like to reload one of our old laptops with XP. It is a CPi D300XT with BIOS revision A05, Win NT 4.0 SP6. I want to reset the boot order but can't get into the BIOS. I have pressed pf1 and pf8 when it is booting up with no luck. What do I need to do in order to reset the boot order...

Make sure you unplug the PC from power source and unplug all peripheral usb hardware from the pc as well. I never have had to take the battery out, but what the heck, it won't hurt anything. I have just waited for the LED to go out before swapping the jumpers, about 30-45 seconds, swap...

I would tend to agree with garebo. Reset the cmos first, before you spend the time reloading. It takes less than 2 minutes to do. Time well spent if it works IMHO.

Thanks
