Peggy: As Paul has suggested it is highly questionable whether motherboard failure is at the root of the problem you're experiencing. The fact that you've been able to access the BIOS and presumably maneuver among the BIOS settings tends to indicate motherboard failure is not the problem (although I have to be quick to add that it's entirely possible a defective motherboard may indeed be the problem.) The "disk read error" message you've rec'd is, unfortunately, the type of message than can signify a wide range of both software & hardware-related problems that can prevent a system from properly functioning. Based on your experience so far I think it would be wise at this point-in-time to consider that the problem may be nothing more than a corrupted OS. Should that be the case it's entirely likely that a Repair installation of the XP operating system (OS) may correct the problem. I'm going to assume that you have available an XP installation CD that will allow you to undertake a Repair installation of the OS. Undertaking a Repair install of the OS is a relatively straightforward process. It would be roughly akin to making a fresh install of the OS, but in nearly every case your existing programs & user-created data would be retained. Notice I said "nearly". While it would be a rather rare situation where data would be lost or corrupted as a result of the Repair install, and as unlikely as it may be, it *could* happen. So if there are any programs and/or other data on your present drive that are absolutely crucial to you and you could not tolerate their loss, then I would strongly suggest that before undertaking this Repair install operation that you first either make a "clone" of your existing HDD (using a disk imaging program) or, if that's not practical, install the HDD in another machine as a secondary HDD so that you can pull off whatever data you want onto some removable media, e.g., flash drive, CD, etc. Again, it's a relatively rare event that a loss or corruption of data will occur even when the Repair install is unsuccessful, but it *can* happen. So I want you to be aware of this. Here are the step-by-step instructions that can be found at Microsoft's site at... http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/support/nostart.mspx#2 (NOTE: Ensure that the boot priority setting in your BIOS indicates a first boot to your CD-ROM (optical drive)). <quote> Before performing a repair installation of Windows XP, you should have both your Windows XP CD and your product key available. To perform a repair installation of Windows XP 1. Insert your Windows XP CD into your computer. 2. Restart your computer. If prompted, press a key to start from the CD-ROM. 3. When the Welcome to Setup page appears, press ENTER on your keyboard. (DO NOT PRESS THE "R" KEY) 4. On the Windows XP Licensing Agreement page, read the licensing agreement. Press the PAGE DOWN key to scroll to the bottom of the agreement. Then, press F8. 5. When prompted, press R to have Windows XP attempt to repair Windows by reinstalling important Windows components. The repair and reinstallation process might take more than an hour. Eventually, Setup prompts you to answer questions just as if you were installing Windows XP for the first time. For detailed instructions, read "Install Windows XP" at... http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/winxp/install.mspx" </quote> Also, here are a number of websites that contain detailed step-by-step instructions for undertaking a Repair install. Let me assure you that it's not a difficult process and not terribly time-consuming. As I've indicated, it's roughly similar to making a fresh install of the XP OS. http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm#RI http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp.htm http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=138 http://www.windowsreinstall.com/winxppro/installxpcdrepair/indexfullpage.htm http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315341 Assuming the Repair install is successful, you should use your A-V program to immediately check out your PC for any virus infestation. Also, you will need to download/install *all* the MS critical updates since SP3. (I'm assuming that if you undertake this Repair install of the XP OS, you will be doing so with a XP installation CD that contains SP3). Obviously, even assuming you're able to undertake the Repair install of the OS with your XP installation CD, this undertaking may not be successful for a variety of reasons, but I think it's a worthwhile step given your description of the problem.

From: Peggy on 10 Jun 2010 10:11 Paul, Thanks for your suggestions. I'm pretty good with software but not hardware, so I tend to have to reply on technicians - of course, the motherboard is only what the tech *suggested.* Given the computer's age (almost 10 years old), it didn't seem like a surprise if something went wrong there. I will have a look inside the box again. The suddenness of the crash is still puzzling to me, as I was ftping large files one minute and then it stopped working. I apologize for the late reply.

From: Peggy on 10 Jun 2010 10:11 Anna, I'm sorry for the delayed response - I didn't realize there had been any additional replies to my post. I would like to attempt this repair installation but am afraid I'm going to run into problems because the original OS for this system is Win 2K, and the only Win XP CD I have is the upgrade CD. Even if the upgrade CD would work for a repair, it's SP1, and I was on SP3. At the time this happened, I was looking at a procedure to slipstream a SP3 CD. Do you think this will work? It's a little daunting, but I hate to give up if the PC is still good.

to confirm if your hard disk is damaged or faulty, try accessing the hard disk's internal smart logs. all modern hard disk have it. FREE app that i use is call HD SMART from Aeo3. http://aeo3.com/apps/hdsmart/index.html i use it for my department's support work as it's free for commercial use also. download and place in the thumbdrive. no install needed. just run from flash drive and see if there are HEALTH issues. of course, only if u could actually boot into windows again. maybe u have bad sectors in some critical windows files. -- adrwow ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adrwow's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/235851.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/xp-hardware/1340504.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
