After the Crash...

[heshie]

Last night I accidently kicked out the plug from myPC... I am running Win XP

prof., after that I rebooted the sysem and now I get this unusall thing

happening...My system is trying to insall some fax software that I don't know

if I ever had, now that has stopped it is trying to install some photo

gallery software...My system keeps on looking for the installation disc

and/or asking me to locate it on my hard drive.

I can't stop this install, everytime I boot my system there it is.

How do I stop this?...I want to permanently disable this install.

Thanks

Herman

most of the time when

the pc abruptly looses

power,



and the cpu was not idle

at the time,



then a check disk is

usually required



my suggestion is to boot

up with a xp cd, launch

the recovery console and

run the commands:



fixboot

chkdsk /f



then exit, remove cd

and see if the issue

resolves itself.

Windows Installer runs on every reboot - why?

Use the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility to remove Office 2000, Office XP,

or Office 2003

total and 100% bull



you cannot run chkdsk /f from the recovery console





the option is chkdsk /r

 

[Db]

chkdsk /f

chkdsk /r

chkdsk /p

chkdsk (with no switch)



or check disk via the

recovery console



or check disk via

the explorer.....



the only thing that is

100% is your rudeness.

You are posting *idiot* advice



the options from the recovery console are not the same as when

scheduling a chkdsk from within the OS



since you have never tried nor investigated any of your advice



it is you who are rude for posting *wrong* info





sheesh





for starters try reading this



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHKDSK

 

[Db]

you're more of a

smart as* rather than

as smart.
