2 wks great Now can't even Install XP

I just put together a PC with the following; XP Home, Antec 380watt, MSI KT-600 (MS-7021), Barton
2800+, MSI FX-5200-256mb, Kingston HyperX 512mb PC3700, & Samsung 120gb SATA for my cousin. It
worked REALLY Nice, so nice I have since ordered the same board (with more options) for myself. It
was fine for two weeks until she downloaded Microsoft Net Framework needed for for PowerQuest Drive
Image. She shutdown the PC for the night instead of rebooting to finish install. the next day when
she started (tried) windows it went to the screen with the little green box that runs from left to
right a few times, the box just hung and thats as far as it would go. Note She is on an Island I
wont get machine til Monday. Would not boot into safe mode. We decided to try to reinstall XP, It
goes as far as to let us install SATA drivers (F-6) Then installs some files from XP disk then it
just hangs with following message on bottom of screen;
Examing 114.95mb disk 0 at ID 0 on box 0 on VIA RAID......
She has tried at least 20 times and always gets stuck there. I'm thinking hard drive, does anyone
have any ideas?
 NOTE MY SIG IS MY PC, NOT ONE WITH PROBLEM

Thanks for your help. I got the PC Monday from her and it turned out it was a bad SATA drive. Since she lives on the Island I had her get a Maxtor 160GB 7200rpm 8MB cache IDE HDD that was on sale for 139.00 109 after mail in rebate and hooked her up. She up and running strong. I think they need to work on SATA a bit more before I would want to use in someones PC that lives on an Island. Thanks.

    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

    Try going to System Preferences>Security & Privacy and under the General tab...
    ...select "Anywhere". Note that you'll need to use an admin account to access these settings.

  • My instagram app as just disappeared, i can't even install it again

    my instagram app as just disappeared, i can't even install it again

    My niece had a similar issue. The app had disappeared, could not be found in spotlight and when in the App Store it could not be downloaded.
    In her case the restrictions on the iPad were the problem. In Settings, General, Restrictions and under Allowed Content, Apps I had set the age to 9+. Instagram is a 12+ app so when I changed the age restriction for apps Instagram reappeared.
    Unsure if this helps in your situation though.

  • 2007 MBP, couldn't install Lion, now can't re-install Leopard

    I have a MBP from late 2007. It came with Leopard installed on it. I recently tried to upgrade to Lion, but received the message "Lion can't be installed on this computer". Now I can't reinstall Leopard. When I try to boot, it will always select the Lion partition, but I can't erase/unmount the Lion partition. Now, when I try to boot from the Leopard DVD, it also won't work.
    How can I get rid of all remnants of Lion on my computer and install leopard, from the CD?
    Thanks!

    Your 2007 MBP would have to been updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to install Lion. Now that you're in a mess, boot from your Leopard installer disk and Erase the disk and then install Leopard.

  • I updated the OS on my new ipad and now can't even start a sync with my win7 PC. I had no problem before the OS upgrade - How can I fix it?

    I never had a problem synching before I updated the OS on my new ipad and now I can't even start a sync.  I have a win7 PC and use the ipad every day. How can I fix this so it syncs again? 

    I don't have my computer in front of me to check, but when you connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes, there are options on what to sync. To manually manage music and other options.
    If you can sync movies but not music then it suggests that the connection is good, so that part works. Which means it just may be a setting in iTUnes (and I mean iTunes on the computer, not the iPad)

  • Uninstalled incorrectly on MAC now can't re-instal InDesign

    I unistalled CC trial InDesign incorrectly (I moved to trash and trashed it)...now with monthly CC licence I can't re-install...it just says up to date...and it is nolonger on my machine...help!
    Regards,

  • Can't open Firefox any more. Shows up in processes but never activates. It was coming up yesterday but running at around 120k. Did my updates, tested my plug-ins, extensions, etc. but now can't even use it. Any suggestions?

    Firefox was working fine but started having crashes this week. Concurrent with multiple problems I'm having with a new Brother printer with driver downloaded via Firefox. No viruses, no spyware, cleaned cache, deleted cookies - have done everything I can think of. And then today, can't even open Firefox though it does show up in processes at around 30K. Yesterday it was coming up at 100k+ when it was working but was very slow. For example, my email through AOL, it duplicated every email I opened, crippling the whole process. Turned off compatability mode - have done everything suggested via the Firefox site. If I have to reinstall it, is there a way I can save my bookmarks?

    You could experiment with giving OBP the absolute path to that USB device, but I doubt you'll be successful. The Sunfire 280R (same hardware as the Sunblade 1000, Sunblade 2000, and Netra 20) design expected USB to be only for keyboard and mouse, not for any storage devices. If booting ever works manually from a USB stick, then you could create a custom alias for the device.
    Try an experiment by using a CD or DVD of an older release of Solaris 10 instead of the current release.
    [http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/releases.jsp|http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/releases.jsp]
    The earlier ones need fewer hardware resources. I also recall a few forum posts that seem to suggest the bootblock structure on the CD's and DVD's of those earlier releases was more compatible with older hardware.
    You might also need to get yourself a copy of the OBP 4.x Command Reference Manual, document No. 816-1177

  • Can't even install the drivers for Xerox 6100

    I have done a lot of homework on this one. I have an old powerbook (running 10.4.11) and the Xerox 6100 installer and drivers work great on it. I just got an iMac (10.6.3) and put Rosetta on in, but when I run the Xerox 6100 installer it doesn't put any files anywhere that I can find. I have also tried installing the Samsung 510 because I heard it has worked for some people where the Xerox driver failed, but no luck their either. I have tried to configure it for both USB and IP printing, but I still think the hitch is that the VISE installer isn't doing its job. Any thoughts or suggestions? Does anyone know where I should look to find out where exactly this whole process when awry?
    Thanks,
    Brett

    It is not officially supported, but there are many posts and even support from Xerox that says all you need to do is the following (see below)
    1) Change the “Xerox” Folder Permissions:
    • Navigate to Applications > Utilities and open a Terminal window.
    • Type the following command: sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/Printers/Xerox
    • You will be prompted to enter your password.
    2) Install Rosetta from the Snow Leopard DVD:
    • Insert the Snow Leopard Install DVD
    • Select Optional Package
    • Select “Rosetta only” from the list of optional packages
    • Click install and follow instructions to complete installation; there is no need to reboot
    3) Reset Printing System:
    • Navigate to: System Preferences> Print & Fax> Xerox Phaser [6100, 6110, 6110MFP]
    • Right click on the printer
    • Select Reset Printing System
    4) Install Printer (without removing the driver):
    • Navigate to: System Preferences> Print & Fax> Xerox Phaser [6100, 6110, 6110MFP]
    • Select +: add the available Xerox printer
    That likely works if you already have the drivers installed on 10.6, but this is not MY issue. I run the installer and it does nothing. There is no /Library/Printers/Xerox and for all I can tell the installer doesn't put any files anywhere on my iMac.
    I am pretty sure I could get it to work if only the installer worked but it does not seem to be doing anything. I even looked for files using the command line in case they were hidden and the installer hadn't added any new files with Xerox in them.
    To answer you other question, I was told 6110 and 6200 drivers will not work. You have to use the 6100 driver, but again mine won't install. Thanks for writing in to help.

  • Can't even install

    Since the docs just say that it shoudl work and there seems to be no Adobe support that doesn't require a week of "You're sure you're running Contribute?" (24 hours pass) "And you're not using Windows?" (48 hours pass) etc...
    I am trying to install CPS onto a Linux server. This seems to be the way it's supposed to work. It supposedly includes a JRE engine already.
    I would appreciate any help anyone can provide. Adobe has proven itself fairly useless in my opinion. I spent an hour on the phone with them over why the downloader didn't work to find out there IS no downloader. Then they sent me a CD whose documentation consists mainly of links to Macromedia's web site, which is no longer with us. So I can only imagine what the future of this software is.
    I guess one question is whether it assumes I have a graphical user interface? Which would be an odd assumption for a server product.
    Here is what happens.

    I do appreciate your tip and hope you will follow through. This has now taken far too many hours from the "downloader available when you buy but not when you try to download nonsense to my order being lost in Adobe's systems to mistakenly thinking tech support via email would take less than 24-48 hours for each response.

  • I'm now on Windows 8.1 and I'm using FireFox 29.0.1. My faiforite plugins now can't be installed. It's aboug Firebug and Stylish. It says: "There was an error "

    Hello.
    I'm on Windows 8.1 and I just installed the latest Firefox version and I wanted to install Firebug and Stylish extensions. But now it says: "There was an error downloading Stylish. Try again". The same versions of extensions and Firefox works fine on Windows 7.0.
    Can you help me to understand the issue please?

    Wow, works fine today! Thank you!

  • Can't even install Lightroom

    Hello,
    first of all I've to apologize because my English istn't as good as it should be!
    I hope you'll understand my problem.
    As mentioned in the topic line, I can't install Lightroom 3. The installmanager runs well until copying the new data, then at ca. 80% this error massage appears:
    Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly component {5C21D397-1DA5-3749-8C1F-165F21DE9E3E}. HRESULT: 0x80070002. assembly interface: IAssemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, assembly name: Microsoft.VC90.MFCLOC,version="9.0.21022.8",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorAr chitecture="amd64",type="win32"
    So far no problem. I checked the web for solutions, the following things seemed to fit:
    1. Re-Install .NET Framework - I've done this twice in the meantime...
    2. Re-Install Visual C++ Runtimes - Also done twice
    3. Close all other programms incl. AV via msconfig - done
    But this error hasn't gone jet...
    I thought for a short period of time that, maybe, the cd is corrupted. Luckily Adobe has the client downloadable on its website.
    How could I say? Installation via web-client also failed, same Error....
    Now I don't know what to do further! I would be glad if any of you can give me a hint or probably a solution.
    Thank You! -fehnse

    Thanks for your reply.
    I have found  ADOBE support lacking, to say the least.  They had me run a program which invalidated my Vista License, and then had the nerve to tell me to contact Microsoft to fix that problem.  And THEN they had the nerve to tell me that LR3 wouldn't install because my Vista license was no longer valid.  They could not seem to comprehend that my first attempt to install LR3 was BEFORE they had me run the program which invalidated my Vista license. 
    I corrected my license problem by going through the online validation process with MS.  The final straw was the last tech who seemed to be questioning my honesty.  He was skeptical that I had not validated Vista, and wanted to get remote access to my computer.  That takes some nerve, doesn't it?  I didn't allow him access but he took my telephone number to have a "Senior," tech call me.  I doubt I will get that call, based on the comments of other Adobe customers.
    I am shocked at this kind of service from Adobe.  I am comparing to HP, which has been surprisingly helpful with my laptop that has been out of warranty for two years.
    Anytime someone tells me that I have to re-load my OS, I know I'm talking to the wrong person.  Reloading the OS and all the programs is always the easiest resolution for the person giving the advice.  It may work, but it's not always necessary.  After having done that a couple of times, I decided to buy another laptop hard drive and clone my internal drive to it every couple of weeks.  If my drive goes bad, or I need to reload every thing, I just swap the drives, and restore files which have been updated since the last cloning. 
    I found some instructions on Intuit's Turbotax website which I will try when I return home from the weekend, if I haven't heard from Adobe.
    I wish that I could paste the link; just google "error 1935 turbotax" and it's usually at the top.
    I'll attach a screen print so you can see what it should look like.

  • I had problems with an upgrade to iTunes, a restore of my computer did not help. Now I cannot even install iTunes and it sounds like I need to restore my PC. How do I deauthroize my PC without having iTunes on my PC?

    So... Is there a way to deauthorize my PC that is not allowing an iTunes install? Why can I not do this from my Apple ID at Apple.com?

    All... I have attempted to re-install iTunes 3-4 times over the past couple of weeks with the same results. However, last Friday I tried again and was prepared to record the "exact results" as asked for.... This time it worked. iTunes installed properly, and my devices all synced in without problems. There have been no significant changes to my PC in the intervening few weeks since this problem started. I'm clueless as to "what" happened, but now it's fixed itself...

  • Can't even install itunes 9

    It seems like everyone else is having problems after they install itunes, but it won't install at all for me. We had the previous version and it worked fine, but we needed to update it after my son got his ipod touch. I uninstalled the previous version along with the items that went with it(QuickTime, Bonjour etc) When I click "download" on the apple website, it immediately says that it's now downloaded, but it's not.

    When I click "download" on the apple website, it immediately says that it's now downloaded, but it's not.
    That can sometimes be caused by pop-up blockers and/or web accelerators. If you switch all your pop-up blockers off (in the web browser, security software and any other utilities with that function) and/or switch off your web accelerator, does the download go through any better?
