Hi Jeff, welcome to the Computer Forum. Jeff please be advised that this is a very old thread first started in 2009. You can create a new topic HERE about your particular Operating System. Although I won't make further replies on this particular (old) thread, I'll just provide one...

I have signed back on just to apologize to you Basically I was (well, am) leaving computerforum, and I answered you too quickly (I replied to about 5 posts in 5 mins) This will be my last post at CF, may as well leave with an apology. Please do regular (say fortnightly) at least, quick scans...

My recommendation: Uninstall horrible AVG free with its corrupt under infection issue (just like Norton) Then run the remover tool: http://www.avg.com/filedir/util/avg_arm_sup_____.dir/avgremover.exe Restart Install free Avira Antivirus Update it Run a full scan

Unless the Recovery partition is also corrupted The problem with Recovery Partitions is when the drive fails or becomes fully corrupted Best to use this time to purchase a Recovery disc from HP (I would if I were you)

Norton Ghost (I use this one) Acronis True Image (most users like this one, images and backup incrementally) Acronis Migrate Easy (Just disk clone - quite good!) Drive Image (Basically an alternative) DriveImage XML (This one is free!) MaxBlast (I haven't used this, but it's free)...

Thanks for the update :) Also here's a free Antivirus (that I use) http://www.free-av.com/

You must have missed post#2 reply Thanks for the update though By the way I wouldn't be paying for any program

Yes try a hard wired keyboard Also change the Bios setup to allow USB Keyboard support (or use a PS2 keyboard) The message "press any key to boot from the CD" actually comes from the CD itself, I made my bootcd the same way Therefore it is working, your keyboard isn't As for putting your...

When "re-installing Windows" you should remove the Partition first If this is what you have done, then it must be hardware related (of which I doubt)

Thanks for the update :)

Gparted Live BootCd: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/

I would say no Drivers are free, and they come from the manufacturer If the manufacturer gets it wrong, then they update them You may need to try another mic or sound card

As it is a discontinued item, info HERE You may want to try THIS site Or contact Toshiba directly HERE, and ask if they still sell Recovery discs Or even try eBay or contact the sellers No your Toshiba A60 won't help Also have I spoke to you before Bigsola, possibly somewhere else?

Are you in an Administrator privileged account? To check: Start > Run > control nusrmgr.cpl

Open Task Manager Click on View > CPU History > One graph per CPU If that is already enabled you may have a conflict with CPU driver (automatically installed by Windows) Therefore, run Bios setup defaults and re-install Windows clean

Reminds me of stupid HP boot menu > F8 Why on earth they chose that key is beyond me, I've been stuck a few times trying to get Safe Mode, and then I get this silly menu Edit: By the way I don't like HPs anyway Back to topic ;)

"C" states 2gigabyte FAT It looks a bit strange to me, even if the drive letter assigning fixes the issue I'd still do clean install with only the 40Gig plugged in

He said it does, but he cannot change it Likely cause: Password protected He may need to reset the Bios manually on the Motherboard

Remove the 160gig Hard Drive (ie unplug it) Put your 40Gig Hard Drive into IDE0 (where the 160Gig just came out of) Put your Windows CD back in and remove all partitions, and install Windows clean Update all drivers and Windows Service Packs and all other Security Updates Install...

That can still be Malware related (but you won't know until 10,000 other users have the same issue I cannot contact your ISP: http://www.timewarnercable.com/Corporate/about/management/default.html And ask if there was any rollout or upgrade or temporary issue/fault But I'm sure you have...
