    Your primary partition needs to be set active. There is a fix in SP2 that causes the problem. Best thing to do is get a copy of Partition Magic boot disks. Boot with them and then set your primary partition to active. You can also use fdisk to set it to active.

    That is a window for a program. Which program I don't know. What have you installed lately? It could be related to that.

    I don't know of any freeware partitioning software for Windows. I know Partition Magic has an evaluation version, but, it won't make the changes to disk.

    Could be the lasers in the drive are misaligned. That is the only thing I can think of that would cause the problem. Might be time to get a new one.

    What version of XP are you using? I know there was a bug in XP which affected defrag, but, I think it was fixed. I just tried defrag on my drive and it works. How old is your hard drive? It is possible the drive has some bad sectors which will cause defrag to fail.

    Download the software needed for Windows 2000 at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/tools/rdclientdl.mspx Install it on the laptop and you'll be able to connect to the XP box.

    Go to start run and type cmd Then when the box pops up type in the command above. Sorry I didn't explain a little better.

    Most likely at one time the computer didn't shutdown properly. Do just as the error says. Open a command box and type chkdsk/f. This will fix any disk errors.

    c000021a is device not ready error. What are you trying to install?

    It's a fairly common problem. The file is for MSN Messenger. Usually this happens when you unistall MSN. It doesn't remove all the registry entries. You then get the error you got. It can also become missing if you install and then uninstall any addons for MSN Messenger. They will modify the file and on uninstall will remove it.

    Lets try this then. Go to the same folder and look for sysoc.inf. Open with Notepad and look for this line: msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7 If it there remove hide, leaving msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,7 Close and save. Try add/remove again. If that don't work or the line isn't there grab the file I attached. Rename it to msmsgs.inf, put it C:\WINDOWS\inf and then try add/remove. msmsgs.inf.txt
