this isnt completly a hardware problem but it is mostly... windows xp was giving me an error message saying that i had deleted/replaced system files that was requred for windows to run properly and it needed me to insert my xp upgrade cd to fix problems (upgrade cd is what came with computer -xp pro) after inserting cd and files started being copied it started popin error messages at me saying that files can not be found on the cd. figured restarting computer and restarting the setup would fix it...well, didnt, just created a bigger problem. it would boot into xp pro and start the setup again, but it would bring up a blue screen saying please insert your windows xp pro cd and hit enter to continue (well, cd was in there and hitting enter would just flash the screen and bring up the message again) tried the xp professional install cd instead of just upgrade cd and it still did the same thing. decided to use another hard drive with windows xp on it to get to the files on the hard drive that has the problems to save the files that we still need. so after changing jumpers around and rebooting windows and letting hardware changes take place, we deleted everything off of the main hard drive (one with problem) except the files that need to be saved (deleted windows folder and everything else as well). went to burn files to a cd but when blank cd was inserted cd drive didnt pick it up. went to update driver (said no new driver found) went online to get latest driver from hp (no new drivers). and now we're stuck. tried lookin online for web space to save the files to (we need 10 gig's of space) but all of them are too expensive and kind of pointless to do when we only need it for a few hours. we dont have any hard drives big enough to hold 10 gig's (all we have is a 4 and a 2 gig) the only hard drive that we have is the 40 gig and that is the one with the problems. have thought of just formatting the hard drive and using data recovery software to get the files back...but there is no garentee on getting the files back and these are important files. have thought of going out to buy a new hard drive but it is too late here (10:15) and every place is already closed and non of my friends have a hard drive that i can borrow as well. what can i do ?!?!?! do any of you know how to fix the cd-rw problem ? or maybe you have one big solution for me...idk...anything plz

what's wrong ? 1st. i see that you have problem with your HD ? most likely it has a unrecoverable bad sector. happen to me once. so the solution is to partition the HD, and left an C and D. (partition magic will do) 2nd. your CDRW.. ? just throw it.. useless. oya.. 1st problem losing files, it could happen coz the connection cable to HD is not right, too lose or too tight. try to change the cable and clean up the pin Oncom Beureum The Best Place in the City

Do you have a Knoppix Live CD?? Try booting up with it and backup all your files onto a cd or the other HD. Then format the hard disks and install the OS again... Temme if it works....  PS:- Get knoppix http://www.knoppix.org

Extremely Slow Hdd Operations On Windows Xp
(9) On the first of this month I benchmarked my system running on Win XP using FreshDiagnose. The Hard
Disk Benchmark showed 32 MB/s Write Speed & 40 MB/s Read Speed for my first Hard Drive & 35 MB/s by
51 MB/s for the second. Since yesterday all the operations on the first HDD (360 GB) have become
extremely slow. A ~700 MB file copy operation on the same drive which used to take less than a
minute, now requires 7-10 minutes. I tried re-fitting the SATA & power cables for the drives but
that didn't help. The other drive (80 GB) is working fine. A dying drive is out of th....

Help! Usb Flash Drive
windows doesn't recognize it anymore... (12) So my uncle asks me to format his computer and install windows and stuff. So I did like I do with my

which I had already on my flash drive, a 2GB PNY flash drive. But, for some reason, the usb drive
was not recognized by windows XP on my uncle's PC, and I tried again on another port. No luck. I
was thinking maybe all the usb ports were broken or something... but then I went to my desktop and
