Boot in safe mode. Click Start. Click run. Type sfc /scannow and click ok. Be ready with your Windows XP CD.

It'll take a long time to run.

ok....thats where i see the options:

Safe mode
Safe Mode with networking
Safe mode with command prompt

**theholycow** · 12-16-2009, 10:12 PM

If you can't get into safe mode to run sfc /scannow, boot from the windows CD and do a repair install.

If you can't boot from the windows CD....umm....that would suck.

BillyJeanKing · 12-16-2009, 10:21 PM

**theholycow** · 12-16-2009, 10:22 PM

Is the CD a Microsoft Windows XP install CD, or is it something with the computer manufacturer's brand name on it?

I used method 2 on this site:

My top disc drive was stuck and i had to pry it open with a butter knife to get the CD in. After that the CD started up and i repaired my POS computer

You said that it wouldn't boot from the CD earlier, implying that you managed to get the CD into the drive...

Nope. Probably a badly written java applet, though it could be network issues. IRC can really be a pain in the butt because a lot of IRC servers insist on using identd to authenticate clients...but identd is incredibly obsolete and not very compatible with modern NAT networks, as well as not running on anybody's computer to begin with.

Windows XP SP3. USB drives (flash drives, hard drives, NTFS, FAT32, EXT3 (using appropriate driver)) work properly and are accessible, except through Windows Explorer (My Computer, etc). The Open/Save dialog in most applications can access it. A DOS prompt can access it. A Windows Explorer replacement like Explorer++ can access it. It doesn't show up in Windows Explorer/My Computer, and if I type in the drive letter (like "G:") it says "Cannot find file:///G:/, make sure the path or internet address is correct". Any ideas?

well thats a first. For me they are usually visible to all or none. Makes me think maybe some of those "bad" drives weren't so bad after all

Kinda random but do any of you IT gaiz have any sort of scheduling system running at your places? I'm talking about something that would show who is at work on what days, who is out sick, who is on vacation, etc. It doesn't have to sync to people calendars and shit, it would be completely separate. It is really just to see who is here and who isn't.

Each user should be able to login and modify THEIR time. Like if I'm taking the day off, I put the hours in and add it to the schedule. Also would help if an admin or mod of some sort could edit it also. (example, someone calls in sick and can't update the calendar themselves, admin woman can do it).

I'd prefer some sort of thing I can install on a server and everyone can access from their browser.

I know its a long shot but figured I'd see if you guys had any ideas.

2005_Silverado · 01-21-2010, 06:25 PM
