el primer problema que tenes es que tenes una Compaq, segundo tenes windows http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/fastFaqLiteDocument?lc=en&cc=uk&dlc=en&docname=bph07144 This document pertains to HP and Compaq desktop PCs with Windows XP. Performing a full system recovery takes a long time to perform and involves an incredible amount of data transfer. With so much data to transfer, there are many opportunities for problems to occur. A power outage or a scratch in a recovery disk can cause severe problems. Use this document to resolve full recovery issues in Windows XP. Before using this document, please read the following important information: CAUTION: If extra hard drives were added to the computer, disconnect the IDE and power cables from the back of the extra drive before performing a system recovery. This prevents possible data loss on the additional drive. CAUTION: Performing a full format or destructive recovery completely erases all files, programs, and saved work on the hard drive. Always back up important information before attempting a recovery. NOTE: If PC hardware was added or replaced, remove the hardware to avoid recovery problems. HP PCs that shipped with Windows XP probably do not include recovery discs in the box. The recovery information is stored in a hidden space (partition) on the hard drive. This eliminates the need for Recovery CDs that can get lost or scratched. CAUTION: If Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) has been or will be installed, download and install the SP1 software patch (in English) to prevent boot up issues. Disregard if you are using Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. Starting a Recovery Turn on the computer and immediately begin pressing the F10 key repeatedly until a Recovery Screen appears. You can also start a recovery from recovery discs, or from Windows. For more information refer to Performing a Full System Recovery in Windows XP . Recovery is taking too long If your computer stops responding after using the recovery program, do the following: NOTE: If the computer appears to have stopped responding after restarting from a recovery, please wait, it may take several hours or longer to complete the initial Windows XP setup process, especially if a recovery was run from a recovery disc set sent by HP. A Standard recovery may also take longer, depending on how many files are stored in user accounts (like in My Documents ). Exit the stalled recovery process by pressing the POWER button on the PC until the power turns off, this takes approximately five seconds. Before recovering, disconnect personal media drives, printers, scanners, cameras, camera-type memory cards, and other devices that did not originally come with the PC. If you are using recovery discs, be aware of the following items: If you created the recovery discs using Recovery CD Creator, be sure to run the recovery from the same drive that you used to create the discs. Clean the discs with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth wetted with distilled water. Wipe from the center of the disc to the outside edge. You may also use disc cleaning kits or disc restoration kits from your local computer store. These kits produce better results than using cloth and water. You may also use available CD/DVD Drive cleaning kits to clean the laser reading lens of the CD or DVD drive. Try running a full system recovery again from the hard drive by turning the on the computer and pressing the F10 key until a Recovery Screen appears. This performs the recovery from the hard drive. If the recovery stops when recovering from the hard drive, use the section Disc errors occur during the recovery process to eliminate errors on the drive. Try recovering again after the disk errors are removed.
CtrlAltDel... check this one out... I have this computer i had problems with installing windows xp... for some reason it would fkuc up at like 58%... i switched the HD and everything started working perfect. But!!!!! then after a few months (this is a computer in my living room for the house use) the god damn blue screen starts coming up like every day. (not that i am surprised). The blue screen is coming out so much it is god damn annoying. So Here is the problem. I said... OK i am going to reinstal windows... THE COMPUTER WON'T BOOT UP FROM THE WINDOWS CD. I've tried different cd's... the computer just won't boot up from the windows CD... It does read CD's once you boot into windows, but it won't boot up from the windows CD. I even manually tell it to boot from the CD and it just says.. booting from CD... but it takes like 5 minutes and it never boots from the CD. I guess my solution will be to make the 6 Floppy windows startup in order to reinstall... but that siht fails like 20 times before you get to make 6 floppys that don't srew up when you are making them. Why won't it boot up from the CD? Maybe i should update the Bios!
LOL ---- Tristemente tenes razon. But basically you are screwed if your HD crashes like in my case. Isn't this the definition of madness? If I am trying to recover my computer from HD failure, and I'm running the recovery process is to fix the disk errors, isn't it? At the end the only option I had using their recovery sheety tool was to erase my whole HD and install XP again erasing every bit of information, but the point is that this is exactly what I do not want to do. If the HD is damaged I'd rather have a new one and if I get to access it I'll back up my information and probably THEN will I install XP again...
If updating the BIOS does not work then: Deselect the HD as one of boot-up options in BIOS. Have it boot up from the CD drive exclusively. (Are you sure that your computer is fully detecting the CD drive? does the computer have DVD drive as well?) -If that doesnt work then open up the computer and unplug anything that is using power that you might not need, such as a DVD drive or memory card reader. Then try and boot from the CD drive again. -If that does not work, take a close look at the wiring. I once had a similar problem, after I opened up the computer I found that the Drives were wired completely backwards, and that the power supply was not adequate enough to drive everything that was in the tower. Your drive could be suffering from bad sectors. Bad sectors could mean that your HD has actual physical damage. If that is the case you could soon loose the drive completely.
CtrlAltDel... tried all of that already... weirdest siht... I even swaped the hd cable with the cd cable... etc... set the driver from master to cable select, etc. I even swapped my ram. I'll try updating the Bios today, if that doesn't do it. I guess i will be sitting down making 5 or 6 stupid floppy disks for 1 hour.
No se si esto le interese a alguien, pero me tope con esta herramienta y por lo menos a mi me parecio que puede ser muy util. A mi me interesa mucho el AJAX en PHP y esto parece hacerlo todo muchisimo mas sencillo. http://www.xajaxproject.org/
I dont know, the fact that it always stop at %58 suggests that it is either a bad CD, which I guess it isnt, or a power problem. You might want to swap that CD drive with another one and see if that works.
That was before... i did swap the cd drive with anotherone and continued to have that problem, burned like 5 different cd's and still happened, until i changed my hard drive. (funny thing, if tried to install ubuntu it works with no problem). The resent problem on this machine is simply that it wont boot from a windows cd... it will boot from a live linux cd though!
Perhaps there is a partition on the HD that is not being properly deleted, which could cause problems during installation. It is hard to say, once you see a HD begin to show mysterious problems that cannot be solved by conventional methods, its best to simply throw it away. I hope we get to see nanocrystalline memory sooner rather than later. HD's as we know them are getting tiresome.
I don't know the HD i was having problems with is gone... this one was a clean HD and i installed windows with no problem... now that i want to reinstall i can't... at leas as of now. Booting up from the CD has nothing to do with the HD. lets see what happens.
A fifth internet Cable has been cut/damaged. The chances of even more than two lines being placed out of service in such a short amount of time are remote, five = under water sea monster bent on destroying humanity, or the NSA&|CIA have been very busy under the sea. http://www.khaleejtimes.com/Display...ebruary/theuae_February155.xml§ion=theuae "ships anchor" ? I don't think so.
wow... mechagodzilla... I haven't seen him in the looooongest time... that pic took me to when i was like 4 years old. Will be 25 tomorrow... damn... time is an ilusion!
I'm still hoping that Mechagodzilla is the culprit, but a crazy conspiracy internets blogger has an interesting theory: Where is the USS Jimmy Carter?
Hadexx- I am really interested in starting a blog, but I know little about promgramming a site besides basic dreamweaver stuff like uploading it to a server and making minor edits. Do you reccommend any software or other thangs?
there are templates out there for dreamwearver for blogs, there are also sites that offer a free blogger for you. I did find a php blogger yesterday. Let me find it again and i'll post the link.
