| 743442 | 2009-02-01 02:57:00 | The instructions do say Some AV's think the programs got infections, but it hasn't. Typical AVG - stuffing things up even when meant to be inactive. As for ISO burning software - the One I use is almost idiot proof - its called BurncdCC (www.terabyteunlimited.com) ( 2nd Link down on that page ) Simply unzip it, then double click, From the Top right - Navigate to the ISO Image you want - then hit Start Button - pop in a CD and away it goes - NEVER had a disc burn fail yet and I've done plenty. Screen shot attached. |

If you used the graphical version and it froze up, try the text version: www.seagate.com if that freezes also, then you'll just have to put the drive into another PC and run either one of the DOS versions from there. Yep, that's the DOS version that wouldn't run on any machine I have here. I thought that may be because of their NTFS file systems? :confused: It may be just a bad burn if you think it will run on NTFS as well as FAT32. |

Screen shot attached. From my experience I would say just do as much as you can in Safe Mode and then everything should be sweet first time. In my case AVG still buggered things up even when I told it to ignore and then turned it off altogether for another try. Anyway, the good news is I now have an UBD4 Windows. :clap It's booted the computer and I've run the HDD test with the following results: There are 15 Damaged Blocks taking up 0.6% of the disk. The map shows the damaged blocks to be scattered right across the disk, so I figure the disk may be on its way out, but, given there appears to be nothing of great importance on the machine and it looks like she only uses it for Internet Browsing, then I wonder if she might get a bit more use out of it and save the cost of a new HDD? Soooo, what I'd like to try is a disk fixing programme that can handle NTFS disks. I remember using one years ago that worked like a charm (I think it was a Seagate programme) but back then the disks were probably FAT16. :D Oh, and for anyone following this saga, the memory test did 10 passes in about 5 hours and never had an error, so I guess we can take the memory out of the equation. ;) Finally I've downloaded that burning programme you recommend WT and will try it later. :thumbs: |
