| 1109144 | 2010-06-18 11:15:00 | No file listed on the BSOD. Have tried all options in advanced start up in F8, still no luck, What else to try I wonder? |

| 1109145 | 2010-06-18 11:15:00 | The stop error is 0x00000024 (0x001902FE,0xF896D6D4,0xF896D3D0,0xF83F0F73) :waughh: Maybe that's why companies and some people use images. It takes shorter time to reload the image than to troubleshoot it. My way and it's not the best, copy the files out of it, after pluggint it into your machine and then wipe it. But then again the person may not have their OS on disc. |

| 1109146 | 2010-06-18 11:20:00 | This is for 2000 (support.microsoft.com) but it probably applies to XP too. Since you dont have an XP CD, the only way you maybe able to fix it, is to remove the hdd and put it in another system, then scan it for errors. If that doesnt fix it, the hdd will have to be replaced / or you'll have to reinstall windows somehow | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1109147 | 2010-06-18 11:30:00 | Nomad, The person does not have the OS on disc. It was a second hand one and no cd with it. As for plugging in to my computer, well its actually my son's gaming computer. so don't want to mess with it. I have a macbook so can't do that either. LL |

| 1109148 | 2010-06-18 11:33:00 | There's not much you can do then. Since you cant put it in another system, and there's no XP cd. Are there any windows cd/s there? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1109149 | 2010-06-18 11:37:00 | IMO that Windows needs reinstalling regardless. You could make a bootable CD using the Seagate's website. They probably have a tool to create a bootable check HDD CD thingy. |

| 1109150 | 2010-06-18 11:40:00 | Ok Speedy, Might have to just give it back to her unfixed, I,ll think about those other options in the weekend.Taking Hdd out and check for errors on another computer. I have a neighbour with XP on He might loan me his OS cd so I can reinstall. Would that work? LL |

| 1109151 | 2010-06-18 11:40:00 | You most likely have filesystem damage if you get that error. The PC shop recommended the HDD be replaced if the problem keeps happening Most likely the drive has reallocated sectors and more are failing. You can verify this by running any program which can read SMART data from the drive (HDAT2 is good) http://www.hdat2.com/ just download, put on floppy or CD etc, and boot from it. If the drive has reallocated sectors, backup\image everything and then get a new drive. You'll probably have to deal with reinstalling Windows in any case, unless you can clone the drive and then fix whatever is wrong with the filesystem. |

| 1109152 | 2010-06-18 11:43:00 | I have the system recovery DVD that I made with the Acer recovery program on son's machine, but it is VISTA. Also I believe that it won't work on another computer. LL |

| 1109153 | 2010-06-18 11:45:00 | If you reinstall XP you'll need the key as well. If youre on broadband, I could make an ISO of XP Home, and send it to you over the net somehow. BUT, you'll still need the key to reinstall it, and a burner / a blank CD to burn it to. Nope the recovery DVD will only work on that PC | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
