Jeff Le Taxi Posted 28 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 28 July, 2009 (edited) On windows explorer i keep getting a popup saying cannot write to file, REALLY annoying, if i get my mate to download a recovery disk will that help?

Mewsta Posted 28 July, 2009 Share Posted 28 July, 2009 Jeff can you get the exact error... sounds like the OS Installation files are corrupt on the disk... i'm sure you'll still be able to get data off the disk but if you can get me the exact error then i might be able to help you a bit more.....

saint_stevo Posted 28 July, 2009 Share Posted 28 July, 2009 Yeah be specific. Not a Vista user, but i think if you start up tapping F8(?) it MAY take you to the command line, from there type in chkdsk -f, this should check the volume and fix any errors. Or, again hold F8 on startup, go into Startup Repair (it may not be there) then follow this- On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair your computer, and then press ENTER. (If Repair your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer does not include Startup Repair as a preinstalled recovery option.) Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next. Select a user name and enter the password, and then click OK. On the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair. Startup Repair might prompt you to make choices as it tries to fix the problem and, if necessary, it might restart your computer as it makes repairs. An exact error or an error code would be ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Le Taxi Posted 28 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 28 July, 2009 Start up repair is not an option steve and i tried chkdsk-f this was not recognised so i just ran chkdsk instead and it didnt seem to make a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mewsta Posted 29 July, 2009 Share Posted 29 July, 2009 Got the same problem on a laptop at the moment Jeff.... tried everything I could find online and now resorting to a reinstall!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_stevo Posted 29 July, 2009 Share Posted 29 July, 2009 i got one stuck in the 'Last Known Configuration, Safe Mode etc' options screen loop. Choose any and it just restarts and goes back to the options. Stinks of a re-install as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 29 July, 2009 Share Posted 29 July, 2009 IMHO, whenever i came across any of these errors i used a re-install. Tends to sort out every problem. But then were i used to work all of our installs went out fresh (some tailored) but no worry of loosing data. I hate windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 30 July, 2009 Share Posted 30 July, 2009 Just take the data of the drive before the re-install then no data lost. Whenever I get a new laptop I always take a ghost image of how I like things set up with office, photoshop etc etc so if it f*cks up just wack the image back on. Exactly, best way, quick and easy. i like ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancake Posted 30 July, 2009 Share Posted 30 July, 2009 Windows IS the problem. DO NOT make sarcastic comments or imply that a thread is "boring" just because it doesn't interest you. If it doesn't interest you, please simply ignore the thread. Jesus, Mary and Joseph you really are very boring aren't you? If a particular user appears to irritate you on a regular basis, use the "Ignore User" feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
