What I mean't was that SeaTools found an error on the maxtor HDD. And apparently it fixed the error too. But when the computer rebooted again I had it once again.

And no I haven't. I'll try it out

you could also run the win xp repair install / that will wipe all drivers from the windows system without messing with your programs or data

Okay I cleaned HDD2 with dban now. And the computer is running without it formatted! But as soon as I try to format the drive it gets stuck again at 99-100% just before it is done.
And then I ran seatools to check the hdd again, which passed. No return for the Maxtor HDD? Seeing as how I can't format it without the same type of hangup/reboot.

**Deleted090308** · 11-25-2007, 09:44 AM

See if you can format the drive using GParted (can run from a USB stick).

Zell · 11-25-2007, 11:01 AM

I don't get the program :P

**Deleted090308** · 11-25-2007, 11:11 AM

Do you mean how to use it? See if this helps: http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/screenshots.php

No how to install it

Zell · 11-25-2007, 03:50 PM

Oh and, I found a floppy in an old computer case. So I'd rather use that. I borrowed the USB stick from a friend and I returned it to him earlier today.

Zell · 11-29-2007, 11:30 AM

Oh my god, I hate my computer. I pretty much gave up on HDD2, and started installing games e t c on HDD1 meanwhile waiting for 3.

And now when I was playing, the graphic-card spooked. The graphic-settings were like removed, all the textures was clutters e t c. The computer froze. I got a popup about the nv4_disp.dll (Drivers for the graphic-card) encountering problems and that I should save what I was doing now and turn off the computer. Then the computer turned black, but the game and such was running in the background.

So, once again, another thing got burnt or something somehow.

Try what Linderman suggested - a repair install of XP.

Zell · 11-30-2007, 07:51 AM

I couldn't find any undo_guimode.txt

**Deleted090308** · 11-30-2007, 08:04 AM

AFAIK that's a good sign when you want to perform a repair installation. The presence of undo_guimode.txt can result in data loss.

But - as always - it's a good idea to backup important data before making major OS changes.

Zell · 11-30-2007, 08:37 AM

Yeah I did backup a few things I wanted to keep. Anyways, I'll go ahead with the repair installation anyways then

Zell · 11-30-2007, 03:15 PM

I'm having problems reinstalling SP2 on the computer after the repair install.

I found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555615/en-us but it doesn't really help me. I still cannot install SP2.

**Deleted090308** · 11-30-2007, 03:27 PM

I think Linderman knows this better than I do - not sure if he's online now.

Try to install a "pre-SP2" update first.

Zell · 12-01-2007, 04:24 AM

Well I did update "pre-SP2" updates. According to the automatic updates SP2 is the next step

**Deleted090308** · 12-01-2007, 04:33 AM

What message do you receive when you try to install SP2?

Zell · 12-01-2007, 04:49 AM

Access denied

**Deleted090308** · 12-01-2007, 04:58 AM

You have to edit the registry to fix that.

Okay, I finally got SP2 installed! But somehow I lost the USB along the road. I'm gonna try reinstalling the drivers.
