Disk Write Error
Hard disk is failing, or the drive is trying to write to a write protected
floppy or cdrom drive, You didnt state when the errors occur, or which drive is being accessed (look at drive lights) If the error relates to floppy drive access, then there is either no disk in the drive or the write protect tab is closed. If the error relates to the cdrom, check the settings for temp drives and virtual memory since cdroms are NOT writeable and the os shouldnt be trying to write to them If the error relates to the hard disk, then you should check out the drive, using scandskw and dos scandisk, surface check enabled, and with the hard drive manufacturer's disk utility downloaded from the support page of their web site(usually available). such scans take a while but its easier to remap failing clusters, than replace lost information later -- Adaware http://www.lavasoft.de spybot http://security.kolla.de AVG free antivirus http://www.grisoft.com Panda online AntiVirus scan http://www.pandasoftware.com/ActiveScan/ Catalog of removal tools http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/utilities/ Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts file http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm links provided as a courtesy, read all instructions on the pages before use Grateful thanks to the authors/webmasters "Murray" wrote in message ... | Somebody please explain, the computer keeps getting this | error |
