ok, one problem down, a couple to go Smile


I am getting ready to do a sfc scannow and grabbed my restore disk from emachines.  This emachines was given me by my church when my house burned down, so I could keep my life and businesses going.


There is a "lock" icon on this I386 directory (sp1) directory......how to unlock please????

I have surfed and asked this elsewhere a couple forums over the past couple wks without reply....

Thx!

I am just  smitten with this great forum!

Im not sure why you need to unlock it, what do you plan to do with it? Are you wanting to reinstall from it, move it, delete it?  Very Happy

sorry, I have sp2 on machine, so need to copy the restore I386 (with lock)_ to c:
so I can do a scannow.

I downloaded sp2 and changed the name to xpsp2.exe and have that in my C;


Don't want to do a reinstall of xp, just have the scannow find and fix a couple buggy errors

Thx Smile

That fix is in the forum here.

How to error-check:
1. Double click the my computer icon on the desktop. The my computer window will open. Right click on Local Disk (C:). Click properties.
2. Select the tools tab. Under the error-checking section click check now.
3. A window will pop up with options check the two boxes then click start.
4. It will say that it will run at the next restart. So restart the computer. This process will take a while (20 minutes). It will reboot itself when it is finished.

Hope that worked.  Very Happy

I will slip this in here....................autostreamer doesn't recognize my E (cd) drive.

Everything is fine with my cd drive.........plays,recognizes anything I put in there, except my restore cd for autostreamer. Can go into explorer and see everything and copy/move, but autostreamer just won't see it.

Any ideas?

I have uninstalled/reinstalled the latest version three times just in case I have a speedbump in the process.  Nothing has changed, I can fill in the very exact adress and still nothing.

Thx! I'll be back with more later! Have a great day guys!

ps tommie, thanks for the info on chkdsk

I did that last week.............. start/run/
chkdsk /f /r

and ran it...

The diff I thought was chkdsk checks volumes,indexes, etc.
Chkdsk will verify and repair (optional) the integrity of the file system on any chosen volume.

not the same as scannow which checks systems files.The main reason for using this utility is when you suspect there may be a problem with a Windows XP system file.

Am I wrong or ____?  Thanks!
