    System restore point problem

    I have problem with system restore points on my drive, it runs Win7 Home premium x64. It shows that there is 1% of the drive (340gb) reserved to it but it doesn't consist any restore points, I have also noticed that it earlier showed 0% reserved and have since changed it but it doesn't create...

    Possible to revive win7 earlier system restore points?

    @Linney, That software doesn't have an Undo or Restore function, to rule back the work it has done. He has taken backups of his files and the softwares he is already running on a portable hdd. Thanks for the tip for the recovery partition, I'll have a look into it. It seems that the software...

    Possible to revive win7 earlier system restore points?

    Thanks again. The pc is currently fine no sign of slowness, crashes, or any unusual behavior. However I am not %100 sure how it was functioning previously and I suspect that optimizer has done more changes that might cause damages in the future, as he can't remember what else the software has...

    Possible to revive win7 earlier system restore points?

    Thanks for the reply. Yes the pc is running fine, but just wanted to be sure that he can recover to a certain time where everything was fine, as I am not sure if the current situation is better than the previous ones. I have looked at that thread and the links they provided, but I can't get the...

    Possible to revive win7 earlier system restore points?

    I have a friend who accidently erased system restore points by a program that thought will optimize his laptop's performance by several things including gaining more space by removing system restore points. There is now only possible to return to 19.05.2013. Is there a software that can bring...

    XP home wont start at all

    Thanks for the tips guys, I guess it is going to be very expensive, but good to know that these companies exist. I still can't figure it out why the circuit connector doesn't allow any circuit to pass through, I tried connecting the hdd though molex and sata, and the circuit board begins to get...

    XP home wont start at all

    @goombawaho, Yes the data is important as I don't remember exactly what it was on it, so I need to have a look into it before doing anything I might regret. Where can I get the recovery service set up from?

    XP home wont start at all

    I tried to connect the hard drive of that pc I am having this trouble with to my Win7 laptop by a SATA/usb cable, and it is not showing any sign of life in that drive and the cables even become very hot. Tested the cables with another drive and it works good. Seem like there is something wrong...

    XP home wont start at all

    No its not a BSOD, the pc won't just start at all, XP logo shows for a 1-2 seconds and then it goes into a black screen giving options to choose to start in safe mode ,etc etc, and none of them work. Even booting with XP installation disc doesn't help. It starts by showing whether I want to...

    PC does not start at all

    @vacunita ... I tried to install XP from scratch and attempt an inplace install, but it doesn't happen anything. After pressing Enter it starts in a new page but there are no contents on that page, a completely empty page, waited for quite long time but it didn't show anything. I guess the...

    PC does not start at all

    I even tried to perform a new installation by pressing Enter, but it just got stuck in the next screen without showing anything. I guess the only option I have left with is, to take the HDD out and copy those files I need and then format the hard drive.

    PC does not start at all

    DrBob.... that is the R as shown in the link you provided I use to perform a repair install. After pressing R it goes to another page where nothing is shown and it just keeps there until I turn off and turn on the pc again. I have previously installed and reinstalled XP on other pc's but haven't...

    PC does not start at all

    My attempts have been either to enter the Recovery console or Repair installation of XP. After pressing "R" for a repairment of XP installation it just remains in a blue screen. The Recovery console does not start at all, pc just restarts and brings it back to the black screen asking to choose...

    PC does not start at all

    I went through 4 levels of Memtest86 and it didn't detect any problems, so I started the UBCD diagnostic, and it gave several options, but I only tried the HDD tests. As the HDD is a Hitachi I could only perform one test, its surface test and it didn't show any problems. Now I am back in the...

    PC does not start at all

    Thank you for all your replies. After several attempts trying entering XP recovery console which didn't happen, I am now running Memtest86 and later on will perform diagnostic test with UBCD. I'll get back with the results of these two tests.

    PC does not start at all

    I have a problem with a stationer PC running XP Home on an Intel Celeron. I decided to uninstall Avast antivirus as Avast was slowing down the pc, as it frequently runs a scan and slows down the pc (using an uninstaller I downloaded from Avast and removed it in safe mode), and instead installed...
