hey guys im having a mountain of problems at the moment the first is that when ever i try to start up any HD or start up on a disk the error message disk I/O error please replace disk and restart appears.
i can get around this by going in to the boot menu and just selecting which drive i want to start up on and it works fine. i dont understand how by just loading the exact same drive from the boot menu can get around it and i have no idea how to fix it. can you help me?
Now another problem im having ( which started before the disk I/O error) has made this first one very hard to fix is that every time i try to load on my primary drive it gets to the windows splash screen and before it starts to load flashes a blue screen with white writing for about one second and then restarts and goes in a continuous cycle. if i try to start from last good config the same thing happens. how do i fix it?
to make things worse i cannot boot into safemode as it comes up with the message press excape to cancel loading SPTD.sys and if i do the computer just restarts its self. what do i do there?
what i have managed to do is set up an old 80G HD that i now use for virus emergancies and from the boot menu i can boot from this drive no problems what so ever and i can access my other two HD's from this one, but thats as far as ive gotten.
ohh this all started when i was trying to do a system restore and it kept telling me it was unable to complete it and so over the course of a couple of days i kept trying until poof it started restarting. could this be related or helpful?
also right before i started having these problems i had bought it to the local computer shop as it would shut down after about 10 seconds before it even got the the splash screen. i got it back and they had fixed it and it was running perfectly except internet explorer would not work. my uncle managed to fix that. it started happening 2 days after that.
i tried to give as much info as i could i hope you can help.
cheers luke
