Hi all.

I've got a computer which the harddrive was failing on. It got to the point where it would blue screen half way through starting up and that was it. if i tried a chkdsk /r through the repair screen it wouldnt do anything. Luckily I managed to clone the data onto another harddrive and after the chkdsk /r it booted up into windows.....lovely! Altho not....there's no services running what-so-ever!

Heres a picture of what i have on the services.msc screen and i have tried the 'regsvr32 jscript.dll' re-register but made no difference.

I have tried doing a re-install with XP but through the installation but it comes up through the installation that files cannot be read?

Thats usually a sign of bad memory. I would run memtest on your memory sticks.
 
Ive just tried a different memory stick and had the same result and have also ran memtest on the old sticks and they ran through ok.
 
Same response in Safe Mode.

Am just going to run Combofix through to see if that makes any difference with it, Will let you know the outcome of that
 
Try using a different hard drive or a different CD/DVD drive, sometimes the CD or DVD drive is to blame. Does the CD have SP3 or any other service packs slipstreamed? Is the CD modified in any way?
 
the CD is a SP2 OEM Windows disk, a copy of an original but have used it numerous times and have tried 2 different disks as well.
 
I've Cloned the data onto a new drive and got a different DVD Drive connected and have tried a reinstall again but get the same problem of it not bein able to read and install certain files which means i get the same result of no services.

Looking like a lost cause and maybe a reinstall of windows is the only way forward :(
 
You don't have to reinstall Windows if you don't want to lol.I haven't reinstalled mine since 2004.

What you need to do is to copy ALL data from your HDD on some external media,format HDD with KILL DISK then reinstall Windows and after that move AND replace the data from external media back to your computer's HDD.
And after that,but ONLY IF NECCESSARY,perform the repair of Windows using the SAME DISK you used to reinstall it.





Cheers!
 
But you cant just copy program data off the harddrive and then back on and itll work.....are you using a program to take the data off and then put it back on?
