Inaccessible_Boot_Device error message in W2K.

Hi,
I just bought a Maxtor 200 Gig Ultra ATA hard drive. I moved my partitions over on it and Windows 2000 refuses to load or even do a new install on this hard drive. It says the partition in "damaged". (Of course, it's not.) I've never run into this before. I even took the drive back and got another one and it does the same thing. I've searched the net and nothing seems to help. I don't have it in right now. This drive must have a strange controller on it or something. By the way, I have another 260 gig and 200 gig Maxtor on my system. I haven't tried to install the OSs on it. I'm burnt out with it. XP, Me, and Windows 98 works fine - just not 2K.
I've bought many Maxtor drives and this is a first for me. Can you help? I can usually solve problems by myself. Thanks in advance.
I hope I'm not posting in the wrong forum.

* Changed chip set, requiring a repair install of XP - not your case
* Changed BIOS settings ie the drive that is used to read boot.ini - it could be that the relative placement of you new drive is different to the previous drive ie different IDE port or master/slave OR you have changed in BIOS the PATA only/SATA only setting both resulting in boot.ini numbers not being correct.
* Patition Table not had the intended active partition set active
Thanks john528!
I tried a repair install and a new install.
bios settings were the same (This hasn't hurt in the past, though.)
Checked boot.ini and it was right as to the partition number.
I made the partition active.
EdHunTer,
The partition that I put on the drive that had been imaged with Drive Image had service pack 4 installed on it. I'm back to my 120 gig now, but I guess that would be an issue from now on.
Thanks Wonkanoby and Assaf for your input. Strange that Me and 98 would have no problem with the drive but a later, more robust OS, would have a problem with it. Microsoft should have bee all over this in my opinion.

    First you'll want to read this BC4J "HowTo" article on how our persistent collection functionality works so you can decide whether you not you really want to be using it.
    http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/htdocs/bc4j/bc4j_temp_tables.html
    Likely you don't want to be, so this article explains how to avoid having its being used. It's typically a "last resort" feature that saves appserver memory by writing extra query results rows out to persistent storage if you query thousands of rows into memory and start scrolling around.
    Down in your stack trace there is the error:
    ORA-600: [19942]
    This is a database internal error related to handling CLOB's and BLOB's. I see a few bugs that were reported in versions 8.0.5 but fixed in 8.1.6.

    Your problem is an OS, not Oracle problem, so it wouldn't help to play around with different init.ora parameters, as long as the basic problem persists. The note addresses W2K, you are on W2003, that may the reason for the different OSD error numbers.

  • Error message for ORA-904 incomplete in german locale [1.1.0.22.71]

    Hello Forum,
    when I enter an SQL which generates an ORA-904, the error message looks somewhat weird with german locale:
    -- First with AMERICAN setting:
    alter session set nls_language='AMERICAN';
    select a from dual;
    alter session set succeeded.
    Error starting at line 2 in command:

    00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier"
    *Cause:   
    *Action:
    -- And now with GERMAN setting:
    alter session set nls_language='GERMAN';
    select a from dual;
    alter session set succeeded.
    Error starting at line 4 in command:

    *Cause:   
    *Action:
    As you can see, the name of the invalid column is not displayed when nls_language="GERMAN".
    Maybe the second line '00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier"' results from having a german Windows XP.
    I don't know how it looks on english Windows or how it should look like. :-)
    I run SQLDeveloper on XP Pro and Oracle 9.2 (on W2k).
    Regards,
    dhalek

    dhalek,
    If you take a closer look, the 00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier" line is present in both languages - it's something that gets always appended.
    As for the German message SQL Error: ORA-00904: Ungültiger Spaltenname, you see it's lacking any reference to the column. The German translator apparently let that slip out. If the substitution parameter was there, but unsubstituted for some reason, it would look like SQL Error: ORA-00904: "": Ungültiger Spaltenname.
    You can contact Oracle through Metalink if you want this to get sorted out...

  • Firefox crashes system and reboots when opening a bookmark. Error message flashes too rapidly to read.

    Running W2k Pro SP4, FF 12.0.
    When trying to open a particular bookmarked web site, the system crashes. Same thing if try to open same web site. First a blue screen displays an error message for about one second which is too rapid to read, then system shuts down and reboots in normal mode.
    This started on 10/10/2013. Previously had no problem with the bookmark or site.
    Checked for a Crash Report in Troubleshooting Information Section but none appear.
    Is there another file that has this information?
    Is there a way to pause the screen display to be able to read the message? Clicking "P" button for pause has no effect.
    Have no problem with IE6.

  • Windows Vista: Ipod Error Message, no longer read by PCs

    Hello,
    I have a 5th generation black ipod video with 30GB of memory.
    The other day I hooked it up to my laptop (Toshiba, 4 months old) that it's been functioning on with no problems whatsoever. This weird error message flashed twice about it not being able to sync because of some software problem.
    Eversince then, the only thing I can charge my ipod on is the family treadmill in the basement (~_~) as no other computer in the house recognizes it. I can't even charge it through the wall sockets, either.
    I have changed the ipod cord, still no luck. I've also reset the device about 3 or 4 times and uninstalled, restarted the laptop then reinstalled itunes. I would like to reset it back to factory settings but that's impossible as computers/laptops don't pick it up. I live very far from a Mac store...
    What's a girl to do? I can't live without my Busta Rhymes and Wu-Tang Clan!
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    you have to update Vista go to this site and up-date http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

  • Error message into a Variable.

    Dear users,
    I have a rather usual (unusual from the weekend beers for me though!!) query which I can't figure out a proper way to implement.
    My requirement is like this:
    I have a message class in which I want to define a text 'Employee number & not found'.
    I want to use this in the program, but not to raise this error. Instead, I want to move this error message with the Employee number into a Character(200) variable.
    So instead of using MESSAGE e0xx(messageclass) USING employee number, I would like to move the error text into a variable which looks like:
    lv_text = e0xx(messageclass) USING '1234'   which stores the text 'Employee number 1234 not found' in lv_text.
    How would I acheive it??
    Thanks, V!

    Try tis way
    message e999(00) with i_emp-empno into lv_text.
    press f1 in message will provide you more details

  • IPod seen by windows, not by iTunes+ weird error message

    I have a first generation 2GB iPod nano and i use windows xp. I can't load any music because iTunes doesn't see my iPod and an error message pops up that reads like this: "iTunes: iTunes.exe corrupt file. The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes is corrupt and unredable. Please run the checkdisk utility." I've tried everything, reinstalling iTunes, different versions, reinstalling OS, resetting iPod, even on another computer, same problem. Other than that, the iPod works normally, it's just lacking music..
    and why is there no email adress from apple for service qustions? 10x

    I still don't get it, how can I put it in disk mode if I CANNOT see the iPod in iTunes..?
    Did you read the document i linked you to? here's another link to it:
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode
    whereabouts in that procedure in that document (that you get to by clicking that link) does it say that you have to connect it to iTunes to put it into disk mode?
    ... never mind ... i guess you've fixed it anyway ...

  • Error message iPod cannot update b/c all of the playlists no longer exist

    Hello. I have been getting this error message. "Songs on the iPod "MAR(the name of my iPod)" cannot update because all of the playlists selecting for updating no longer exist." And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist. I have a feeling ths might have to do with the fact that on vacation the person I was visiting gave me a gift of putting all of his music that would fit into the external hard drive part of my iPod, and for the past week or so I have been putting that music onto my 40 GB portable hard drive at home. I suspect I took a vital folder out of my iPod by accident. Right now I have the folder iPod_control if I open my iPod up in My Computer. Am I missing something? Right now my iPod is empty because iTunes made a composite playlist last week and I deleted it thinking I could get my real playlists back. Can you help me, or reccomend a site/someone who can? Thank you.
    PC   Windows XP  

    hiya!
    And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist.
    let's just doublecheck this. folks get this message if they have "automatically update selected playlists only" selected in their itunes "ipod" preferences tab. so bring up that tab ("edit > preferences", click "ipod" while the ipod is showing up in the source list), and do a playlist by playlist crosscheck of the playlists selected in that tab, and the playlists showing up in the itunes sourcelist.
    is there any playlist selected in the preferences tab that isn't showing up in the sourcelist?

  • Windows Blue Screen Error Message Appears As Soon As IPod Connected

    Everytime I connect my IPod to my computer, I get the Windows Blue Screen error message. Thought it was the cable, so plugged cable in by itself. No problem. Uninstalled IPod and ITunes software and then plugged in IPod, still got the Blue Screen. The Blue Screen says something about "recent plugged in device problem". It is not the cable, it must be the IPod. Did not have this problem when I bought it. Tried it on labtop and get the same error message. I can't do updater or anything that requires me to plug the IPod into a computer because the Blue Screen appears immediately. When I unplug, the Blue Screen remains and locks up the computer so I have to restart each time. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help.

    Hi Mike thank you for replying,
    I am not able to start the computer in safe mode, safe mode with networking, last good known configuration etc, Each time it quickly blue screens and restarts about two secs into the process.
    I was unable to try a clean OS install from the disk as it gave the blue screen error shown in the original post. The same thing happened when I tried to use the repair option on the XP home disc. So i can't get into the computer at all to start diagnosing the fault, the only clue I have is the error message, and after searching the internet I haven't found much enlightenment from that yet.
    If you can help me out or suggest where to search it would be much appreciated.
    Thx

  • IPod Error Message: "The disk could not be read from or written to."

    Hello!
    I was syncing my sister's video iPod (30GB) and this error message pops up "Attempting to copy to the disk. "SARAH'S IPO" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I have restored it three times already, but once it starts putting the music and files back onto the iPod it pops up with that error message. I have updated to the latest version of iTunes and iPod software available. My OS is Windows XP.
    Is this something serious? Will I be able to fix it myself or will I need to send it in to be fixed by Apple? Will that be expensive? We didn’t get the Apple replacement plan. D=
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. ^_^

    (2) I've updated my windows
    (3) I don't know of any software that might be interfering.

    (6) I don't have an iPod photo and I can't find the folder to delete the cache if if I did.
    (7) The USB cord is firmly connected into my USB port and my iPod
    (8) My music is on my external hard-drive so I need to keep 3rd-party hardware connected
    (9) I will try another USB cord to see if that works.
    Is there anything else that I can do? Can Apple fix this?

  • IPod Touch will no longer sync...error message.

    For some reason my older iPod Touch without a camera on it will not sync any more and I am getting an error message saying this iPod cannot be synced. Now I had it set up to sync over Wi-Fi and I would occasionally hook up to the computer with the cable and got error messages on both. Now I read something about removing the SC Info Folder. If I do that will that mess things up with syncing my iPhone? 

    What is the exact wording of the error message?

  • Error Message: Need to purge Cache in Adobe Bridge CC (on PC)

    I tried purging using Adobe Bridge by going to Edit/Preferences/Cache then purging, but it becomes non responsive.  The error message said the problem files were at Users/(my user name)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/BridgeCC/Cache.   There are 4 files in there that are taking up 124 GB!  Can I simply delete these files or will it corrupt my regular files?  I tried doing as some other forums suggested and hold the ALT key down when opening Bridge before purging, but no luck.

    Yes, you can delete the cache files manually,  Just be advised that Bridge will become very, very slow until it finishes rebuilding its caches.  Depending on your files, that can take a few minutes or several hours.
    A good way of doing it is at night, so you can do it before going to bed and let Bridge rebuild caches overnight.
    If you can, save the cache files before deleting them to an external drive, so that you'll have them as backup if something goes wrong.
