Try uninstalling any ZIP,RAR,7zip hat you might have had installed.

A couple of things can be wrong:

• Your BIOS may have lost the settings of the hard disk and can therrefor not read the hard disk. To solve it you have to access your BIOS by restarting the computer, and then to press DEL or F2 (depending on your computer) until it comes up with a blue screen that shows you the BIOS Settings. on one of the pages (use your arrow keys to navigate) you will find the hard disk settings (sometimes described as IDE or SATA drives) One of them should have a value in it indicating a hard disk recognised, another will indicate a CD/DVD drive recognised. If it has values indicating a hard drive, press F10 to save and exit.
• The second option is that your hard disk has failed, and a new one must be installed. If you know someone that knows what they are doing, most of the data on the failed hard disk might be recoverable. If not, expect to lose it all.
• Certain viruses will attack the boot sector of the hard disk, rendering it useless. Formatting the hard disk might bring it back to life, but once again, all your data may be lost.

Hi

Awailson

This problem can pop up only if the OS in your HDD is damaged. Or if your HDD is bad (Physically) hence i can suggest you to boot from the CD provided by the company which came along with the laptop to boot. If you do not have any of it you can try to boot from any other CD to just check if the HDD has a problem really. If the HDD is accessed by the OS then no problem. But if it is not recognizing the HDD then you need to replace it.

Hi and welcome to Fixya!

In order to revert the machine back to its factory setting, you need to have the recovery disk (if you don't have it, call the warranty support line of e-machines so they can provide it to you).

To restore Windows from your recovery discs, you will need to
insert the first backup disc and enable the F12 Boot Menu via the BIOS Setup
Utility.
1 Turn on your computer and insert the first system recovery disc into the
optical disc drive. Restart your computer.
2 During startup when the eMachines logo shows, press the F2 key to enter
BIOS Setup, where you can set system parameters.
3 Use the left and right arrow keys to select the Main submenu.
4 Use the up and down arrow keys to select F12 Boot Menu.
5 Use the F5 or F6 key to change F12 Boot Menu to Enabled.
6 Press the ESC key to enter the Exit submenu, press the ENTER key to Exit
Saving Changes. Press the ENTER key again to select Yes. The system will
reboot.
7 After rebooting, when the eMachines logo shows, press the F12 key to
open the Boot Menu. Here you can select which device to boot from.
8 Use the arrow keys to select the IDE1*, then press the ENTER key. Windows
will be installed from the recovery disc.
9 Insert the second recovery disc when prompted, then follow the onscreen
prompts to complete the restore.
10 Remove the recovery disc from the optical drive once the restore is
complete. Do this before rebooting your computer.

Hope this helps!

Hi

I hope i am assumming that your emachine is an acer if so i think you can do this

start
all programs
acer
acer recovery
in there it should give you a few options to :-
restore back to factory settings
re install applications
and burn a recovery disk normally about 3 dvd,s
also to burn an applications disk 1 dvd

this is really worth doing because sometimes ones hard drive will crash
losing you the ability to then restore your operating system onto a new hard drive

please if you have the option do this before you try the restore
also try to save anything that you may of put onto your laptop that you want or need to keep
either burn them to disk or copy onto a pendrive or spare usb hard drive

also i think there may be an option to get into the recovery consol by
pressing the power up key as well as F10
some laptops are power key+alt+F10

good luck
please let us know if this has helped you
so that we may be able to help others

many thanks

many thanks

This is a tricky problem. There are two cases: 1) You sent it to the Recycle Bin somehow and then cleared the Recycle Bin and 2) It's in some obscure corner of your computer.
So, let's start with the worst case, case 1. Luckily for you, when Windows "permanently" deletes a file, all it does it remove the references to the file and frees up the hard drive space associated with that file. However, it does not actually clear the 0's and 1's on the hard drive (unless another program writes over it in its search for free space). If you've deleted the file recently, chances are the 0's and 1's in the hard drive can be read and the file can be recovered. I personally use Tuneup Utilities, but since that costs money, I would suggest looking at http://www.recovering-deleted-files.net/, Undelete Plus, or PC Inspector File Recovery.
If you're in case 2, you have a really high chance of finding the file. For Windows 7 and Vista, open up c:\ and type the filename into the search bar in the top right. If you're on XP, open up windows explorer and run Search.
Hope this helps, Eric Tao

If it is a Windows machine you can try a tool called OPH Crack to recover your lost password:

eMachines E620-5885 does have a built-in microphone next the webcam. But there isn't a button to manually turn the mic on/off. The microphone is there whenever you need. For example on Windows Live Messenger or Google Talk. And these applications also have feature to test your microphone.
Hope I've been helpfull. If you need more information or assistance, add a comment to this post.

AS soon as it is in Windows, run CHKDSK/F, it will try and clear errors on the hard drive.

Sounds like there could a virus.. Here is a free online virus scanner you can use it works great. If the system is clean then you might want to clean up and registry and junk files .. There are free programs out that can help with that ..

Eusing Free Registry Cleaner
Zappit System Cleaner

I buy a new battery for my Acer Emachines E620 but my computer is dead.. and want to sell it, if you want to buy it. please send me an email to [email protected]. Thanks

Its probably the battery. They do have a finite life. Especially if its not been discharged/re-charged fully and fairly regularly. You loose them if you don't use them and stay plugged into the mains most of the time.

If you laptop is a couple of years old or more, then more than likely the battery has died.

I think this is the same as the Acer aspire 5515. To get the keyboard off:
Take out battery, unplug the mains and open the screen as far as it will go
Slide the tip of the flat head screwdriver or a plastic guitar pick under the bottom edge of the small plastic cover panel above the keyboard, gently pushing the screw driver handle downward to push the plastic panel up. The plastic clips should pop apart ( take care as you lift it away, can't remember if there is a cable to the panel.
The keyboard is secured by one or two x headed screws.
Lift it away gently and ease the clip that retains the keyboard to the motherboard (very easily damaged).

I don't understand your language plz write in English .

reboot and keep pressing F8 upon starting up

download the drivers for the mic
(probably Audio Drivers)

or

update windows drivers on the internet

or

www.acer.co.nz

driver downloads sections and install them
