AFU error
 
I can turn my laptop on.....but i can't turn it off. It just sits on 'Logging off'
I can't uninstall any programs.
I can't install any programs...it just sits on the 'preparing to install
If i highlight text in firefox, it lock the program up
I cant get the Task manager to open...although it sits in the tray
I can't restore to a previous restore point...I get the same 'preparing' hang

this is all true in safe mode as well.


w t f

If i format drive c, will the restore on drive d boot?

lumberjim 11-19-2008 08:38 PM

All Fucked Up, actually.

...hmmm...the highlighting text thing seems to be better

Did you make a bootable CD by any chance? If not, make one at work - google 'BOOT CD'.

Hopefully, you are set up to boot off the CD.

Are you running Vista?

I don't know what you're dealing with, but to answer part of your question, if the computer has a restore partition, that will usually wipe the disk and restore everything to its factory condition without you having to do any kind of prep. (Of course you need to back up anything you want.... there are still ways to get the files off, if you need to, even if Windows won't boot--as long as you're not dealing with actual physical failure of the drive.)

Hmm well you may have a toasted hard drive.

lumberjim 11-20-2008 08:37 AM

but the computer works ok otherwise?

Flint 11-20-2008 08:40 AM

You know what to do with toast, right? Put jelly on it.





































PUT JELLY ON YOUR HARD DRIVE.

It's all jinx's fault. If you didn't have all those pics of her smoking hot body on there, this would have never happened. :headshake

Flint 11-20-2008 08:55 AM

Look who's talking. Your pics ruined my keyboard.

dar512 11-20-2008 09:01 AM

I admit I'm nosy. I'd love to know what was in Labrat's deleted reply. :D

Flint 11-20-2008 09:02 AM
