I'm trying to create a windows xp bootable cd. My goal is to be able to re-partition an existing drive and re-install windows on it.. Heres the problem.. I have copies I made of my original XP cd, but for whatever reason they are not bootable. I went to bootdisk.com and made downloaded the...

Iconcache.db will automaticly re-create itself upon reboot. The theory behind it is if you delete it, it forces windows to make another thus redoing your icon stash. Before I try messing too much with windows heres what else Ive done in the mean time. Ive tried re-registering SHMEDIA.DLL And...

Done that. No luck

Recently windows XP SP2 has stopped generating thumbnails for my video files. I havn't changed any settings that Im aware of and have done some extensive research online to try and solve this issue. Here is what I've attempted so far: Deleting the Iconcache.db file Re-installing the video...

The 4 pin connector is plugged in. However, im not sure if the board is 20 or 24 pin

I took every component out of the case and set it aside (inlcuding the motherboard), dusted everything including the mobo. i re-set everything individually and let sit for 5 or 10 minutes each. Nothing individually failed, but everything together I seem to have problems getting the screen to...

I followed the directions to a tee on the arctic silver compound that I used on it. I dont see any squeezing out. I guess I'll take the motherboard out and try re-seating it all and seeing if that helps. The only reason that I dont think thats the reason is because it will turn on usually for a...

I replaced the psu with a brand new straight out of the box one today, and also replaced the cmos battery for kicks and giggles and it still turns off just the same.

Its as if somebody went behind my pc and unplugged it. Complete power failure. This is my third home built pc and this is the first time Ive has this problem and it is quite frustrating as I have online courses for my schooling.

I'm having a little bit of trouble with my hard drives. Whenever the IDE cable is connected to the motherboard and to the hdd or cd rom, they get no power. But when the ide cable is not connected to the mobo, they get power... I cant figure out just why this is happening because just a few...

I bootted my computer today and the annoying little ! thing came up saying that Drwtsn32 has been corrupted. It advised me to run checkdisk. After about a second of doing whatever it does, it stated that it cannot finish the scandisk for some reason. I was wondering how to fix it

Defintly not the U thing, I've already updated the bios. There were three things in the bios Main Block Boot Block DMI Block I only updated the main block, I wasnt quite sure which one was gonna go do it so I only did the Main Block I'll try clearing the CMOS, that option was there, too.

Yeah, I went to one of the guys I know at a place that fixes computers. He said with all that I've tried so far, it might be the IDE channel just not being able to support such a large capacity drive and reccomended I purches a ATA Controller thing. Does this sound reasonable?

Yep, LBA.
