soak it in alcohol then lightly brush it with a brillo pad, that should do it

brillo pad?! what? As far as I know, that's what you wanna do to a cd when you feel like destroying it for no reason what so ever. Brillo pads are really rough and would destroy it for sure. Do not use a brillo pad and do not "soak" it in alcohol.

if there was a scratch i MIGHT think about doing that. try booting it in another drive. your drive might have some issues. you could always get another cd from microsoft.

if you are getting a single error on a file it can't be the connections. the drive wouldn't work at all if that was the case. try to read the file by itself on another computer. if it still comes up as an error it could be a defect in the disk, posibly warped and corrupted bit or two. if you can read the file on another comp, try making a copy of the CD useing some of the guides that are out there on the net, look for a SP1 slipstream guide. if the file is not readable i would say send it back to microsoft for a new one.

It looks like either the CD can't load the files to disk (Harddisk) or you have a memory issue where the files can't be loaded into memory. Thats not a CD error.

Its your Harddisk or memory, check if all your memory is accounted for when booting and that the BIOS *sees* your Harddisk

PS: who else thinks that ntkrnlmp.exe actually looks like NT Kernel Lamp :p as ifd he's trying to switch the light on whee :rofl: :woot:

it's a problem with the ntkrnlmp.exe file on your disk, get a black sharpie and make a small dot about 1 inch from the right side of the disk, don't make it too big or you'll screw up your partition table, that should make it load fine, i've done it lots of times here at my sys admin job

just try to check your memory, I had same troubles 2 weeks ago at work. The problem came from a 256 Mb memory module that was defective, and the other one was OK. I just removed the bad one and everything went OK.

im gonna try ur idea now, i have 2 slots of 256 mb DDR ram.

Oddy See,

If I were you I would not listen to a word this crack brained Not_A_Virus dude is saying. He is full of [expletive] and the advice he is giving you would ruin your CD, and probably void any warranty from Microsoft.

Not_A_Virus: Get a clue. Either help out or shut up. In either case, quit being an ass. The guy is obviously having trouble - why make his life even worse, by pretending to know what you are talking about? If you do know what you are talking about...well then you are one sorry human being aren't you.

use Winamp to debug the install disc, then Ad-aware should be able to install from the 3.5 floppy

I guess I was supposed to laugh?

Sorry but I cannot resist the bait....

Here is a good one: why don't you get the sharpie, paint a mustache on your face, brush it lightly (or not) with a brillo pad, then rub a little alcohol on it. I know it's all in reverse order from your perscriptions, but I bet you the results will be hot!

PS: Careful not to blast Brittney Spears from your WinAmp while you do this....the results could be less than predictable and Ad-Aware could fail to see the mischief.

For CD repair I read on a site about toothpaste and a soft lint free cloth. So I read it on a few sites and said "I'll try that" cuz my Starcraft CD had like wear and tear and well... ah at least the cd won't get tartar, or gingavitus. I think toothpaste would only work on really uber small scratches.

Not_a_Virus:get a life man that isn't funny man.

    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
