Memo To All Staff From Tech Support

Management has determined that there is no longer any need for
network or software applications support. The goal is to
remove all computers from the desktop by Dec. 31, 2003.

Instead, everyone will be provided with an Etch-A-Sketch.
There are many sound reasons for doing this:

1. No OS problems.
2. No technical glitches keeping work from being done.
3. No more wasted time reading and writing emails.

Using the Defrag program shouldn't do that (Ya I know Thanks : ) but what did it corrupt? A good surface scan might find the problem, but the bad sector data is gone. You may have to try to re-install your OS... ???

 

i have no clue what it corrupted, im not sure if the defrag is what did it but it crashed while it was running.

cant really do any scans because it wont allow me to boot up windows in any mode and i cant use a recovery disc because its not recongnizing my cd drive > :-

 

A: Pick it up and shake it.
B: Reboot

 

If it won't recognize your CD then thats a Bios problem.. Something other than defrag has altered your bios.

If you can get it to start up at all, there is a keystroke combo depending on the maker to enter the Bios and to select drives, clock speed etc. mine is Alt-enter I think, haven't done it in a while.

Once in there there should be a selection for boot preference, if you can set that to your CD, you should be able to boot from you OS disks.. If not, Dunno...

 

My approach is to start off with the LFH (tap, tap, and tap) and if that don’t work go to the BFH (Bang, Bang, BANG).
After using BFH for a few minutes problem is solved.

 

So I', shaking the heck out of this 27" flat screen, seemed to do the trick for the first one, lines were running all over the place and it kept going off and on. Next thing I know, I'm getting asked to go upstairs.

It's a good thing I didn't get to all five of them or they would've really been mad. :'(

Not so sure that was some good tech support advice there, Top. :
