Hard Drive Problems

I totally agree. He should run DBAN and then install Windows. But if the problem continues for some reason he’ll need to buy a new Hard Drive. But I think DBAN will take care of the problem.

oh i remember that was was wouching it i was thinking about calling but then changed my mined

i heve some problems..with my hard drive .. i tried to simulate a computer work .. in an aquarium full of vegetarian oil … it seems that it doesn’t work if i put it in the aquarium .. what should i do ? please help .. me .. :)

Get a copy of SpinRite.. Im sure it could help.

Hi i think the problem with his computer is a faulty RAM module that probably has partial functionality thats why Me works its takes less memory, I had the same problem with my notebook and i used a RAM tester and it said RAM had errors, When i booted my computer it said it couldnt load a XP file at startup (beacause it was to big). I bought a new bigger faster RAM module and now my computer works great. So try a RAM testing program first. Chris i like your shows as im a tech guy like you.

Sounds like a bios problem and I would return the laptop if its under a warranty. I had a problem with my HP, the onboard video card went bad and I had to send it to them. I would return it.

I really want another Hard Drive for my PC! A 1TB internal hard drive would do the trick nicely……WOW, I can see snow floating and dancing outside, covering the ground as soft as feathers. Why does February bring such delightful weather?

Anyhow, about my Hard Drive wishes….it seems that it will be a hard drive to get my Hard Drive!!!!!

Totally!

That’s definitely a hard-drive problem. A friend of mine and I myself have had the exact same problems on our notebook PCs. Usually the symptoms are: blue screen upon boot, freezing on OS load screen, or extremely slow (like 20 minutes) to boot.

If you have these symptoms, you can be almost sure it’s a hard drive failure.

Not saying it isn’t the hard drive, but I have run into similar issues with several computer’s trying to install Windows XP and/or Windows 2000. Those operating systems would not install, yet when I tried Windows 98 it would. After much frustration and research, I swapped out the RAM and then the installation ran perfectly. Now if I run into installation problem’s, first thing I do is replace the RAM.

RAM! No doubt, or… mayby harddrive. What kind of video was this anyway? PC help desk? That guy didn’t know much, if it is a BOIS problem, restoring the CMOS would clear that one right of, still doesn’t work, replace the ram ;)

Oooh, chris looks pissed for some reason.

I know like the guy is annoying him XD

A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids’ room, the father said,”Take the kids and get out of the house. We’ll call the police, we don’t have a clown statue.” The “clown statue” is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don’t post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand

Check bios to see if Virus protection is on. Sometimes OS will not load because of that switch in bios.

Try turning off native Sata support.

ME?! ME?!? IS HE CRAZY??????????????

I loooooooove the call ringtone!

Mr. Oizo - Flatbeat
(since I know someone will ask)

i would bet aloto of money that his issue was not a hard drive issue, but rather a bad ram issue… the reason it was running ME insted and not XP (or vista) is because XP requires apx. 100 megs of ram and ME only requires about 50 or so…

if the sector a sector at about 75 megs of ram was bad, the OS wouldnt beable to read/write the data in that space, telling the OS that it couldnt load the file. (by default)

Great video chris and btw,I must add that you letting people ask you questions and answer them it is much easier.Plus it makes it alot like the old show :).
Also on the video A word of advice to the person who had problems he could try to clean the hard drive itself and see if that fixes it.Ofcourse like you said if it just likes running on windows ME thats cursed!!!!!!!!!! lol

i would melt the hdd and get a new one

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

this guy is a ***!!!!!!!

what a nerdy piece of ****

lick my hard drives disk

You should seriously get a life. Those who call others nerds are generally dipsh1ts and incredibly stupid people.

Nothing wrong with being a nerd, better than being thick!

*Waits for ridiculous response, spelt wrong, is full of poor English and looks like its been written by a 5 year old*

get linux, format to fat32 and retry xD

Probably a screen problem

Why not put Windows 2000? If that doesnt work, it has to be something about NT compatibility with something!

Aboot!

I would just take a 2 pound hammer your PC….lol

hey i put in my hp recovery disk and then i re-booted me computer and hit f10 to get the recover to start nothing came up?

DBAN worked beautifully on my 3 year old desktop. Definitely recommend it.
