Disk error problem

Ran disk sanitizer the kills dead all data on the HDD, you zeroed the DRIVE>
why do that/,
your seller would but why you, its not your data there..
so you bet to buy windows again.
this PC is 12 years old today
and still has HP support (i bet not for long)
PER.

HP will not sell you HP media kit for that PC, now. too old.
only MS will or free linux. (etc)
it came with w2k , XP or vista, XP is a horror now.
HP has no support for W7 on this PC, zero.
so that means you buy W7, from Microsoft.
how you do that is your call. (source and actions)
the street value of this PC is $20 (ebay solds)
so why put a $100 OS on a $20 horse

I'd go to GOODWILL(tm) stores.
walk in
see PCs.
look at the service tags on said PC.
see that microsoft tag, (called a COA sticker)
buy one with W7 tag , or up. win

George, your problem may be a fragmented drive...
you need to run a defrag and scan disk.

it's done the same way in Windows 7 as it was in earlier versions of Windows:

1. Open the "Computer" window
2. Right-click on the drive in question
3. Select the "Tools" tab
4. in defragmenter..click now
5. Then ...In the Error-checking area, click <Check Now>

If this does not help, you need to run a Recovery from the disk you created when you setup the PC.
If you did not create the Recovery Disk...go to all programs, HP folder, Utilities. Create Recovery Disk.

How long have you had this computer. Over time no matter what windows will slow down. Your best bet is to remove as many programs as you can from starting up when you boot the computer. This will speed up the boot time etc. Also I would need all the stats of the computer, but the sure fire way to get any computer running again is to back up all critical files and reformat and reinstall windows.
Thank you,

Even if you ran the defrag program you may still not get a full defrag because your disk space it to low.

To get a go defrag you have to have 15% or more free space to get a good defrag of your hard drive.

Let me know if you have any more problems or questions

I never did like norton stuff.


format the whole hard drive as one partition (not with norton)

use FDISK or similar

then to let the xp disk do its own thing

after xp is installed and running fine then run norton PM and resize to what you want for the C drive and let norton do its stuff.

you should now have C and D drives. if you want to split further use norton PM again and resize D and once again let norton do the business. you should now have C, D(but smaller) here I would use microsofts disk manager or norton toformat the last bit if thats what you did. and so on ad infinitum.

the 110 error means there is alread xp on the destination and it cannot go ahead usually if i was doing a clean install i would not have told it to leave the system intact but told it to go ahead and format (unless i was doing a repair install)

"UPDATE - summary added, history moved to end: This problem seems to be caused either by malware (virus or spyware etc), or by software following a Windows update or some other software installation or uninstallation (particularly HP, Norton or QuickTime software) trying to check for removable media that isn't there (e.g. disc in DVD drive or card in card reader), when it shouldn't be doing that check."

another tip try running "search and destroy"

Insert the restore or recovery disk and run the installation of the whole system again

Download a Linux distro to a flash drive or DVD and see how well it runs off that. There's HDD utilities like SuperGrubDisk that can diagnose things.

it's hard drive...most likely you are in need of a tune up.

check out this link, and you may find the Tuneup is just what you need.
