0 markwolfe Veteran Posted July 20, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 20, 2005 Did you do a scandisk before, to make sure your hard drive was healthy? Can you do one now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 devyant Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 High chance some on boot time programs are causing conflicts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hotrod1 Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 I will try to do a scandisk later and I hope that would solve the problem. As for any boot time programs I don't think so because I have it down to AVG Free and Gaim loading up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hotrod1 Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 Well I tried doing a scandisk but it said that the volume was clean and it just finished and I did a defrag but it still has the same error. Anymore ideas? Thanks Mike ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hotrod1 Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 Hmm well when it trys to apply the changes it tries to do them before I reach the logon screen. Does that help in anyway and also how would I boot a program like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jesse Carlton Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 don't run it from windows, boot of the disk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jesse Carlton Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 ...put in the boot floppies that it makes when installing the program. I wouldn't trust it to run from windows, too many things can go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
