booting

kipkemoitom · 12-28-2006, 06:06 AM

i have a fujitsu note book and my problem is when I boot, the computer fail to boot. It keeps restarting each time.
The message on the blue screen is that there might be new hardawe or software which they are not.
Even I tried to boot using safe modes but it cannot.
I even went ahead to re -install or intall repair but the set up fail.
The problem actually lies with the partition which the setup tells me that it is unknown.
The setup cannot delete the partition.
Can any one knows how to deal with partition or correct the problem?
Please help

Hello and Welcome to TSF,

Download the manufacturer’s utilities and wipe or zero the drive

The partition has the capacity of 9586 mb free and it is uknown.
Please help.
It is only one partition.

Is it and option to try a different Hard Drive? Take one from another computer perhaps? Failing that, buy one.

partition size doesn't really enter in to it. click the link given above and get the manufacturer's utility. it should wipe out all the bad partition information and leave you with a fresh drive, ready for formatting and a re-install. The ultimatebootcd also contains the fujitsu diagnostic

as an alternative you can try to repair the partition table with partition table doctor or a similar utility

trying to boot to a different hard drive would require a repair install of windows on the drive. then that drive wouldn't work on the computer it was taken from without doing yet another repair install.

I was asking the partition size, to attain whether he could install on another partition and see if it works, could have been a bad partition.
