All sorted! I think it was my lack of understanding with regards to Open File For Random with 'Get'/'Put' and reading/writing a record, this seems to produce gobble de gook in the file created. Using the Open File For Output and using Write Var1, Var2, Var3 etc etc etc worked a treat, I can...

Hmm, my lack of knowledge/experience and info has obviously caused some confusion...appologies for that! . I have a basic form which takes a number of integer inputs via some text box's, these are then saved to a file from which the form/program opens and closes, the file is only readable via...

Hi Skip Allready tried that and it didn't work :-( got some strange results with any of the test files I made. Cheers Nick(erzzzzz)

Hi All Can anyone give me direction or better still give me a piece of code that will read the contents of a csv file into a file created in VB e.g. a .dat file. I have a corrupt .dat file containing the following example data... 2 12 20 33 35 45 15 33 39 40 45 48 I have the full set of...

Thanks for the Info Servelle... . This info is very usefull for future reference. . I have only just managed to cheat my way round fixing this issue as below and if it had failed I would have tried your tute. . Not really the way I wanted to fix it but time was ticking on...I found someone with...

Hi Well I have had some success! . I used the below link to get me on my way and have now got the laptop to boot into HP Recovery Manager...However, once it boots and I take the only option to restore the laptop to its factory settings it warns that all data will be lost and on continueing it...

Hi Just to let you know that I did try setting the partition to active with Acronis Disk Director but to no avail. . I downloaded and installed bootit ng last night and this is the best bit of software to date for me! to my mind it prety much confirms that the error message I get is a red...

Hi tlcscousin That link is for installs that are bundled with the HP recovery manager, whereby you create recovery cd's/dvd's, this laptop does not have that feature (my previous laptop did), there is only the F11 option at boot time which I think is supposed to recover the system to its...

kjv1611 I will look at bootit but I fear it will just give the same rsults as the other boot managers I have tried, and I have used easy bcd...again to no avail. . tlcscousin Yes the path/exe exists and it boots from the C:\ drive into Vista no problem, its when I try to use F11 to boot into the...

Hi Well I have tried all sorts of scenarios but to no avail! . My conclusion is that the Recovery partition’s boot record is intact but is pointing to a device/partition that does not exist or is in the wrong place and therefore produces the device inaccessible error. . I have used Grub again...

What version of Acronis was it?

Hi My original backup was using Acronis and I made separate Images of the 3 original partitions, these were placed onto an external usb drive and were also verified using the Acronis software. . The only thing I have not tried is completely wiping the drive...as I understand it, when you...

Yes I hear what your saying but it has become a bit of a challenge/obsession now and if I fix this one then I will be able to fix my other one with a similar problem and get my head round this whole partition addressing/config thing. . The main reason is this is a New laptop which I wish to...

Hi, didn't get anywhere with Grub, tried it but didn't really know what I was doing, I managed to select and take the option to boot the problem partition but I got the same original error. . Will look at it again once I have read up (unless you can instruct me), going to flip between this and...

Great idea that, hopefully I'll get chance to try that tonight. . I'm also considering deleting/re-creating the Vista booloader Store completely and adding just an entry for the ramdisk, but not quite sure what values/path to set yet, I think the file it should call has an sdi extention which...

Ok, thanks for the Info, sorry for the late reply on this, I managed to trash my main pc with a similar problem which I'll post a new thread about later as its still got problems :-( . I have used Partition Table Doctor and took the option to fixboot on partition 3 (E:) which holds the Recovery...

Hi, hope someone can offer some advice/help here :-( Problem... When using the F11 option to recover Windows Vista Business from the recovery partition I get the following error message... Windows Boot Manager Status: 0xc000000f Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is...
