I try to boot the old T2150CDT - error message "sector not found reading drive C"

Hi,
I came by one of these and am trying to fire it up, but I keep getting the message, "sector not found reading drive C". I get this message right after the windows 98 logo appears.
Problem is that I'm limited in what I can do, because I have no floppy drive and dos doesn't recognize the CD Rom drive (drivers missing); although I can hear it during boot up.
So I took the HDD out and pasted the windows 98 installation files into it; then tried to reinstall, but I again get the "sector not found reading drive C" message. Is the drive too large, (It's about 2.1 gigs.)
Would installing the correct drivers for the CD Rom allow me to install from a CD?
this usually works
Thanks,
john

As far as I know the error message; sector not found reading drive C" appears because of these three different reasons:
- physical HDD fault
- corrupted HDD file system
- bad RAM
In first case you should try to format the whole HDD and should try to install the new OS.
If it will not help, the chances are that the HDD malfunctions and must be replaced.

    You can only add songs to your iOS device from iTunes via Wi-Fi sync or via your cable, not Bluetooth.

  • Hp 5535 will not scan, error message printer not found

    I have a HP Envy 5535. I have only been able to scan one time with it. I scanned 22 documents, after running HP Scan Doc 4.4. Each time the HP Scan Doc states that everything is OK, yet as soon as I try to do even a test scan, I get the error message "Printer not found." I have also tried to run this scan with my McAfee virus firewall off, and it still doesn't work. I have also identified it on McAfee as part of my network.
    This question was solved.

    Hi @prazdancr,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I am sorry that you cannot scan with your HP Envy 5535, but I am happy to help!
    For further assistance I will need to know:
    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
    If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
    In the meantime, please try going through this scanning guide. A 'The computer is not responding' Error Message Displays During Scanning.

  • Itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe

    itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe
    no problems with ITunes on Dell Inspiron Windows 7 until yesterday.  ITunes version 11.0.2.  iphone won't connect stating required software is not installed.  uninstall and install 64 bit version of iTunes.  I have 64 bit version already.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times already.  When re-installing ITunes get error message c:\programdata\34be82c4-e596-4e99-a191-52c6199ebf6\x64\difxinst64.exe.  file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. please install or create an association in the Default Programs control panel.   iTunes install continues after the difxinst64.exe error message but then get the iphone cannot be used error message again.  therefore, I can't sync my iphone with iTunes until I figure this out.
    can't win for losing.  had iTunes on my windows 7 laptop for 4 years.  first time I've ever encountered this.

    I am a PC Tech and had a customer with this issue. Ran across this post in my search and ended up finding the solution on my own. The problem isn't with the iTunes software but the installer for the GEARAspi drivers. Really the issues is with the file type asssociations in the windows registry. On the system I was working on the HKCR key for .exe should point to the exefile key but pointed to nothing. To fix it create a new txt document and paste the following in (only paste what is in between the [code][/code] tags):
    [code]
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
    @="exefile"
    "Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\PersistentHandler]
    @="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
    [/code]
    Now change the extension from .txt to .reg. Then right click and select merge. iTunes should now install properly.

  • Have upgraded to 6.0.2 on my MacBook and get error message "Server Not Found" everytime i use Firefox; however, if i then click on my Gmail or other sites from bookmark toolbar it connects. means an extra step and that never happened before

    when i first click on Firefox the URL: www.27yhbnhy6tfgvrbcfre3.com shows up and the error message "Server not Found". but i can connect to any website by just clicking on a bookmark from the toolbar (or typing in a url). this never happened with previous versions of Firefox

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
    See:
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Safari 7.0.6 crashes: Dyld Error Message: Symbol Not Found

    After I did the latest MacOS update (10.9.5) Safari (7.0.6) no longer runs. I repaired permissions and also rebooted in safe mode so I could potentially remove any spurious plug-ins, but the last time I did this was with MaxOS 6 so I have no idea where to look in the current version.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.

  • Error message: 'Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card' - then - 'Error. Out of memory'

    Hi all. This is a new error I've never seen before.
    It's stopping me doing anything at all really.
    As soon as I start up FCP and click on a sequence I get this message: 'Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card.'
    Then I click on OK and it says 'Error - Out of memory.'
    I've heard rumours that it could be the fact I'm using a strange type of JPEG, but it still happens with PNGs.
    I've made sure my scratch disks are all going to the right place. I also have 100gb of free space.
    The version of FCP I'm using is 6.0.5. I'm using an iMac with OSX 10.4.11 (yes, I know it's old!) and I've downloaded the latest version of Quicktime.
    Help, anyone? I have an assignment due in tomorrow.
    Many thanks...

    p.s. having looked at other posts, perhaps I am missing some (or all) of the relevant codecs?
    In the folder Macintosh HD > Library > Quicktime
    there is basically nothing. Do you think this is the problem?
    If so, where do I download FCP codecs from?
    Many thanks..

  • Cannot sync, error message "could not be read" for an iPod no longer in use

    I have two problems. I upgraded iTunes to 7.2 and the very next morning my iPod died. It is completely unresponsive. Maybe it's coincidental. So I bought a new 80 gig iPod and gave it a different name than the old dead iPod. Now when I try to sync the new iPod, it goes for about 10 minutes, then it fails with this message:
    Attempting to copy to the disk "old iPod name" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    It is complaining that it can not read the old dead iPod that is NOT hooked up to the computer! Somehow, minutes into syncing, iTunes has forgotten which iPod it is looking at. I have seen the article about the "cannont be read" message and it is not relevant. I need to make iTunes forget about the old dead iPod so it will stop looking for it. I've tried removing the files from "Documents and Settings" but iTunes still remembers the old unit. Where else does it store information? Any recommendations?
      Windows XP  

    Attempting to copy to the disk "old iPod name" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.

    Okay, that can sometimes be caused by a Windows drive letter confusion. For troubleshooting advice on that possibility, see the following document:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

    What formats are your sources and sequence?  Have you tried resetting your fcp preferences?

    And here are some other troubleshooting steps
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2591
    We're here to help, but unless we approach this in a systematic manner, obvious things can slip thru the cracks. So go thru these things and just let us know if there's anything amiss.
    I'm in NYC also, so if you are up against the wall, and feel like bringing your trusty macbook pro by my cutting room, I could probably take a quick look at it and see if there's anything obvious.

  • I keep getting an error message - Serner not found

    when I try to go into Firefox an error message comes up - Server no found . I have already checked with my internet provider and they ran a check and all are working correctly. I did upgrade to the latest firefox this morning and that didn't help. Is there something else I should have done?

    If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
    I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.
