Hello, i'm trying to run an FTP server and having no luck, i've looked on various sources and am not sure whats wrong. Here's my setup: Router - DLink Di-614 Router. WinXP machine connected to router via standard cat 5 cable. I've configured the router (setup a new firewall rule) to forward...

Thanks for the replies, its wrong when the system has been running for 2 or more hours (constant use doesnt matter if the screen saver is active or not) And when the machine has been turned on. How do you mean check the battery by opening it up, how will I tell if thats the fault by looking at...

Hello, My brothers Advent 7016 laptop keeps displaying an incorrect time (the standard clock located in the system tray, bottom right-hand side) It seems to lose the time if the laptop has been on for 2 or more hours or after a shutdown. I've tried the "Automatically synchronize with an...

I've got a DLINK 614+ and on my network i've got a laptop that kept dropping connection. I solved the problem my upgrading the firmware, its an easy process of downloading from the DLINK site then accessing your router and select tools then firmware, since then it hasnt dropped at all! Hope...

Instead of using the 6 floppy disk images that I downloaded from the microsoft site, I used the XP cd from work and ran chkdsk and alls ok! For some reason when I used chkdsk with the floppy disks, it kept asking me for autochk.exe. But its 100% fine and i'm sending this message from the...

I'vc ran a scan on testdisk and it didnt produce any error messages, I then ran a NTFS reader and all my files are still there. Does anyone know of a program that can delete folders (NTFS) from DOS? as I think the fact that i'm out of space is preventing windows from booting. If not I will...

I've just downloaded a trail (doesnt allow any changes to be made) of Acronis PartitionExpert and its confirmed that theres 0GB on the first partition, could this be preventing the system from booting? Would the solution be to obtain a disk that can boot into dos and read NTFS then free up...

chkdsk must require autochk.exe, when I typed chkdsk /f it said invalid parameters. I've just had a thought, could XP not be booting because theres no HDD space? my brother told me he copied over a fair bit of data from his laptop, and it could be that I partitioned all the remaining space (I...

I ran the recovery console but it didnt find autochk.exe, I tried entering c:\windows\system32 etc but it didnt work. I'm now thinking that installing XP pro (XP home is currently installed) and telling it to create a new partition may be my last change? Then backup all the files and use my...

thanks, how do I access the recovery console without a windows XP disk (as i've just got the recovery CDs that came with the PC) I appreciate the time you've spent helping me, Thanks, Dave

Quote "The only "extended attributes" error messages I have seen are from FAT32 partitions. It may be that you can rescue the disk from the Recovery Console alone, using Console commands to rebuild the MBR and a chkdsk. But do nothing while the issue is researched" ****I...

How about if I buy/download (freeware or trail) another piece of partition software to see if I can resize the drive back to its original state? As the rescue disks for partition magic produce an error message: Causeway error 09: Unrecoverable internal exception, program terminated. Theres...

Oh, thanks, have you any suggestions? its vital that I keep the data. Thanks so much, Dave

Its partition magic 8, to be honest I didnt write the message down as I didnt relise it was going to prevent my system from booting. Would this solve my problem, if I installed XP pro (I can obtain a copy from work just to install for a couple of hours) create a new partition, back up my files...

Would an option be to install win95 then upgrate to 98 (I only have the win98 upgrade CD and full win95) Then use a tool that can read NTFS backup then format? Would that be ok? Thats if I can boot into DOS - which I see no reaons why a boot disc wouldnt work. Thanks, Dave

Hello, recently I decieded to dual boot my system so, I used partition magic to create a new drive for windows 98 to be installed (I planned on using the same method as my friend by using a free boot manager tool after the install) However, once Xp rebooted at the partition was being reszied an...

Congratulations, I always read through the topics and educate myself with your solving skills. Your help is appreciated, keep up the good work!

I have ran tests on shields up! (https://www.grc.com) numerous times and all ports etc are stealthed.

My WAN IP is 80.7.234.234 thanks

Hello, i've read various sources online but none have told me how the virus installs itself - I mean usually its by email attachments being opened. Someone on a different forum said that its spread by a hacker scanning IPs, then if certain ports are open they connect and upload the file onto...
