Hard Drive PROBLEM!?

Posted on February 9, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

OK my laptop hasn’t been working for a few months now for unknown reasons. But the bottom line is: i try to reformat and stuff but it says no hard drive found so it can’t reformat. =/ If you’re wondering what happens when i boot my laptop, when I turn it on, it doesn’t go to the windows screen (where windows XP is loading) it just stays black with a white dashed line blinking int he corner. However, I am able to boot up a linux Live CD (backtrack 2 and knoppix both work) and able to go online and stuff with them. So i dunno is my hard drive broken? or still working in a way? any ideas?

I want to remove an infected folder with a Linux “live” CD, but it won’t see the hard drive.?

Posted on January 23, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

I’ve tried many different live CDs, including WIndows preboot environment, Ubuntu, PC-Linux, and several others, and none of them “see” the hard drive. I’m sure I’m missing knowledge about how this works. I want to remove a keylogger folder from an infected hard drive with XP. If I try to remove it from within Windows (even when the HDD is a slave) the OS just hangs.

how to flash a laptop BIOS?

Posted on January 5, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

My compaq presario v2575us laptop is telling me that my BIOS is not ACPI compliant (on a BSOD), and restarts immediately after the message. Even if I try to boot into safe mode, or with an XP CD or a linux live CD, it doesn’t start up…it shows the same error with safe mode and the XP disk and just freezes with the linux live CD. So I thought that flashing the BIOS should reset the settings and probably get me back on track.This laptop is known for heating up pretty bad, and mine has been doing just that for the past 14 months and now that it has stopped working. I need from anybody. Let me know if there’s any addiitonal info you might need.
