    Hi June,
    Could you please be more specific to the error. Are you getting a Blue Screen of Death? How are you reformatting your laptop? CD or Floppy. Also need to know what are you formatting to NTFS or FAT32?

    Thanks,
    ArmyMason

Hello again,

Sounds to me that the software you are using is corrupt and if that is the case the only solution is to rebuild the OS by using a CD. This isn't uncommon, if their is a bad sector on the Hard Drive this can cause the software to error and become corrupt. A full reformat and installation is the only solution if the software is corrupt.

Hope that helps,
ArmyMason

    I would ask around to see if a friend has a disk or you could contact the manufacturer to purchase a disk.

    Hi,

    Can you give me an update as to what you have done or has my help explained enough to you as to what you should do? I hope you understand their is going to be no work around in getting the soft version of the restore disk to work. You need to either contact the manufacturer to order CD's or find a friend who has a disk that will work for you. If you are satisfied with my response could you please rate my help. Thank you, and sorry for your luck.

Did anyone come up with a solution? I'm getting the same error and I AM using the recovery disks from Sony.

It will reformat the hard drive, reinstall the software and get almost done... then error 320 or 330.

I thought I read somewhere that it was a optical drive issue so I used a USB optical drive with the same results.

Anyone?

Thanks.

May be your disk is unreadable for scratch

  • tameem961 Feb 23, 2009

    ok then try with a new recovery disk if you have one  rather than using the hard drive to boot.

How to reset settings

A persistent operating system error on your Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop requires more than just a system restore as there is a problem with a driver that a system restore cannot correct.


A full factory reset of the laptop wipes the hard drive clear of all data including existing driver settings and programs and installs the original operating system back to the hard drive.


Once cleared, previous computer files and programs are non-recoverable.


Press "Power" on the Inspiron 1525, and continuously press "F8" on the keyboard when the Dell logo appears on the laptop's screen.


Press the down arrow to highlight "Repair Your Computer," and press "Enter" to select the highlighted onscreen option.


Click your preferred keyboard layout, and click "Next" to continue with the laptop's restoration process.


Type "administrator" in the username field, click "OK" and click "Dell Factory Tools."


Click "Dell Factory Image Restore," and click "Next." Click the checkbox next to the hard drive reformat confirmation, and click "Next."


Click "Finish" to reboot the OS after the restore process finishes, which can take up to 10 minutes.


Hope this helps.

Everytime I open My G62 laptop after a few minutes \it will hang.I want to reformat it..How will I do the reformatting?
Hi and Welcome to Fixya!

I would not really recommend a format if the issue with your machine is hang. You can try though to just reset the machine to its original settings. Here's how it works:

1. Reboot, and repeatedly press F10 at the HP logo until the recovery screen appears.
2. When the recovery screen appears, press "Next" and then "Yes" to perform a non-destructive recovery (all data saved). After the recovery is finished, the laptop will reboot.

Or to perform a destructive recovery, (***This will erase all your unsaved data!***)
Click "Advanced" and then "Yes".
After the recovery is finished, the laptop will reboot.

Or
Reboot, and repeatedly press F11. Follow on screen prompts.

Hope this helps!

I cant seem to use my 320 gb mobile hard drive. when i connect it to the usb, my laptop reads it but i cant save files into it..help me please.
try to connect your device into your pc and then, try to save files again, if this doesnt work, try to reformat your hard drive, im sorry to say that all your previous files will be deleted upon the format. after this, make partitions to hard drive. then save some of your files into it. if that doesn't work either, try a disk scan to check if your hard drive has bad sectors.

Need to reformat a WD 320gb 7200rpm HD...windows hosing
A memory error is not caused by the hard drive not being wiped, However to wipe this drive formatting it using this command wipes it unconditionally (format C: /s /u)
This will format it at a lower level if you get a memory error check the memmory modules run a program called Pc doctor or amidiag these programs can be found on the internet by using google.com. If this information helped you please use FIXYA as a rating please never use Thanks nice try this will give us experts a bad rap on here and we would not stay around if we keep getting them thanks

Seagate 320GB HD I copied an image file to it using Acronis software, and after a week or so when I rebooted I got a "Disk Read Error" an dpress Ctrl Alt Del" to restart computer.... all...
Don't worry about the size reported, 305GB is same as 320GB because 305GB = 305*1024*1024*1024 = 327491MB

Try deleting all partitions and reformatting (but do NOT choose Quick Format). Also try chkdisk /R C: to check for errors.
