Disk Check on startup (boot) caused by False Positive?
by Guest bigmacdaddyA- 0 replies
- 119 views
Hi I have an Compaq Presario V2030US laptop that I bought in 2005 running Windows XP Professional. It has been heavily upgraded over the years. After working reliably untill last spring it started having disk problems after a hard shutdown. The system wanted to do a disk check every time it started up. It would say that there were 4 bad sectors. This X-mas I replaced the hard drive with a new one with similar specifications (having cloned the hard drive). The problem seemed to be gone temporarily! The system started to want to disk check again. Having done several different Disk Check C, R, and surface scans using third party software there appears to be nothing wrong …

Receiving error 0xC004F015 or 0xC004F074 in new KMS setup
by Guest Namreeb- 0 replies
- 212 views
Greetings. I am setting up a computer lab with 30 Mac's running Bootcamp and Windows 7 x64 Professional. I am attempting to set them up to use KMS, and have used the ISO downloaded from the licensing service center to install Windows on the systems. I have deployed a virtual Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition server to serve as the KMS host. My understanding is that I need to do slmgr -ipk on the host as the first step. This does not work. When I do this, I receive the error message 0xC004F015. On one forum post I read, it says that if I want to use a Server 2008 system as my KMS host, I must use slmgr -ipk . Doing this succeeds in activation on the KMS h…

Hello Everyone, This morning, while booting up my Lenovo T61 laptop with Windows XP for another day of miscellaneous computer use, I was stopped by the black screen with multiple boot options for Windows detected an error due to recently downloaded programs.
