Computers & Internet - 4 September 2007

i had my hard drive reformatted on other pc cause it gave me an error message "NTLDR MISSING" on my pc. Now it has a fresh XP OS, but when i tried it to my pc it won't work. i know that motherboard is different from where i format my hard drive (i intentionally format my hard drive from other pc to erase the error message) so when i attempt to format and install OS again, it won't budge. the keyboard doesn't work only when you press DEL to enter setup and the function keys but after i finish the setup, the keys won't work anymore. It's the reason why i can't boot from CD. hope somebody can help. thanks.

I have recently bought a new computer with Vista Home Premium already installed and want to use my old printer which is a HP PSC 2355 all-in-one printer with it. I downloaded and installed the software and driver for Vista for it and it still won't detect it. The printer connects through a USB cable and supposedly should install itself but it never detects it. I checked the wires and made sure everything was connected, but can't figure out why it won't detect it.

I am using a laptop with Vista.
I've tried to change the amount of idle time before it comes on, and that doesn't help either. Right now it's on one minute but still no luck. I just can't figure out what's wrong! Please help! Thanks!

Everytime I turn on my computer
[hp pavilion notebook, dv2000 series, W.Vista]
it gives me a black screen that reads

"Checking File C.".;.. something something

and as it goes through, it says " Stage 1 of 3"

then it tells me my percent, it goes from 1-8 percent fairly quick. but it freezes at 8 percent. and stays for a long time... i've let it sit for a while and it didnt change at all.

2007-09-04 11:01:06 · 2 answers · asked by Augie H 1 in Laptops & Notebooks

it's strange beacuse it occured after i cleaned the screen but i always clean my screen with a damp paper towel and nothing seemed to go wrong before.
and when i turn it on it flickers for a few seconds and makes a sizzling noise then the back light jus goes out.
if you could help me out i'd be very grateful.
btw i'm on my mom's computer right now.
