Hi David,
I have purchased a copy of DiscKnight and downloaded it onto my wife's
laptop. What is your suggested modus operandi?
Perhaps I should add some extra information as I was blocked out of this
list for a while......
My Iyonix has broken down a few days ago. This was after a dream run
where I had eliminated the startup problems I was having by replacing
the power supply. I also took the opportunity to add a new hard drive
which I made the master as I thought the old drive was giving up the
ghost. I made the old drive the slave and started copying some of my
most important files and programs across. The machine was also given a
memory upgrade to 512MB. It seemed to start quicker and run programs
faster. I thought I had a new lease of life until a few days a go
probably a week by now my world fell apart. The machine went back to its
old behaviour of freezing during start up, taking several attempts to
get to the desktop. Then the desktop would freeze at some point and
require a reboot.
This coincided with my having left a memory stick inadveratly in one of
the usb ports and found next morning that it had melted. After this
point both the front usb ports fail to work and also "destroy" any
memory stick placed in them. No they don't melt as well but they then
lose their data and fail to work at all. From this time on my start up
problems recommenced ....
If the start up process goes long enough I get an error message
Disc Error 23 at :4/00000012F776D200 and further along Internal Abort on
Data Transfer at &FC12E53C
Anyone understand any of this? Maybe my new hard drive is defective?
Possibly my usb card is now defective as well in terms of the front
ports anyway. I suspect I may need to replace this card. Does anyone
know if Castle still carry supplies?
I have managed to make preliminary contact with David Ruck and at his
suggestion obtain a copy of DiscKnight. I am not sure exactly what I
should do next.
As I am in far off Australia and nowhere near any kind of expert help
any suggestions would be welcome. I am having to send this message from
my wife's laptop.
