This suck(windows error)

[tenchi86]

Well I went away from my pc to watch a movie. I come back to find a blue screen saying windows closed to prevent hardware damage. So I figure no biggy, I restart my pc and geuss what C:programs/windows/system is missing or curropt. What a joy, so I do what any windows user would do, I did a repair install. gheuss what though. Now NTFS is missing, so I try again, now some driver is missing, Itry again, now the screen wont load. I thought this may be something physical like my ram but linux works fine. So now I had to install windows on a new partition copy over like 20 gigs of files which toke forever, then reinstall windows on old partition, copy files back. Then update everything. I am on 56k so updateing this much to me is a NIGHTMARE. Man can I just say i am mad. :bang head :bang head (right now I am on new partition waiting for another 10 gigs to copy over.)

System is a WD 160 8 mb cache 7200 rpms. My temps never go about 43c, I am running xp home.

ehh, might want to check your hd with some diagnostics to make sure it is alright.

[tenchi86]

I tried chkdsk, and copying files over was fine. I was worried HDD went out on my but so far no signs of it.(though I am not sure)

[tenchi86]

Ok, well I have manufacter cd for my hdd but its pretty new less then 6 months. So far no sings of it breaking. SO I geuss I wll just dive in head first and see what happens with a fresh install. wish me luck(its going to be a long night, even longer day since I have to leave at 8 am and wont be back will 5.)

[tenchi86]

Well so far it is running fine, my fears of something like a fan stoped and my PC was overheating or HDD gave out dont seem to be true so far.

sounds like your hard drive is going bad...this happened to me when I had my HDD partitioned...it would run scandisk on every boot, but when I reformatted to single partition...no probs again.

[tenchi86]

Scandisk on everyboot can just be a option messed up in registry. Thathas happened to me before. Any way it has always been one partition, and still is.

If you were new to the forums, I would understand... But being here as long as you have, the lack of being able to create a good thread title is a poor reflection of how much you've learned. I think this is a symptom of lack of effort or thought, moreso than anything else. This isn't a gamer forum, it isn't for the 1337, its an overclocking and technical help forum - as such, there is some effort and "coherent-ness" expected when you post.

Calm down

Calm down

Who isn't calm?

Techni did a great job on the title, as I was confident he could do after being a dedicated member of the forums for as long as he has. Everyone here appreciates that kind of effort, especially when we see the capability is there.

[tenchi86]

Ok, umm the title didnt seem to change. Any way IMOG if you want just lock this thread, since its over.

[I.M.O.G.]

No reason to lock it - it shows different in your first post title, just not the thread title - only moderators can change thread titles and lock threads (green stars).
