Which Operating System and Antivirus program do you use? Does this happens to all drives or any particular drive? Have you ever tried opening that drive using Right click and then open (or explore)?

1.
Open My Computer, click Tools, then click Folder Options.

2. On the View tab, in the Advanced Settings area, click to clear(remove tick) the Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended) check box.

3. Apply and Close it.

4.
Then right click on any folder, click properties and go to security tab.

5. Then click --- --- , and you will see a list will come out.

6.
Then find your Username or Administrator and add it.
Go back to the previous page, and check .
Click Apply and OK.

Note:- The above steps applicable to XP OS.

If problem still remains, try this link:- How to take ownership of a file or a folder in Windows XP

This is because you OS is infected by some virus.
A simple solution is to right click on the drive and click on the explore option. The drive will open. Or you can use the drop down at the top of thw window to open the desired derive

If you want to solve this problem download a register cleaner. This problem is mainly due to some changes in registry files .

Ok follow these screenshot to show hidden files and folders:-
Open My Computer
Then Tools and Folder Options and View Tab.



Select Show hidden files,folders or drives.

Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files(Recommended)"

Click Apply and O.K.

Now open any drive(except C drive) using explore option and delete folders or files (hidden folders and files only) specially autorun.inf except #Recycle.bin and System volume Information.
Do this for all drives except C drive.(Remember the names of files and folders you have deleted)
Now open C drive and delete the files and folders with the same name and extension which you have deleted from other drives.

Again Open My Computer
Then Tools and Folder Options and View Tab.
Click Restore Defaults button and click Apply.

Restart your PC.
Done

This works out...Try out puys..

Hey,
I hope this is the right place for hardware related queries as well.
I need to buy a laptop which would be used for multimedia, gaming (not a hard core gamer but an ATI Radeon 45XX+/54XX+ with 512 MB graphics will do), and programming (J2EE-Spring). Like any normal consumer, I would want the latest processor which is currently the Intel i-core i.e. i3/i5/i7. Also would ideally want a 15inch HD screen to it. Feel an i7 is unnecessary for my needs but have seen so far these models in Intel i3 and i5 processors:
1. Dell Inspiron (36 to 42k)
2. Dell Studio 15 (42 to 48k)
3. Acer Aspire 5740G (38k for i3, 42k for i5)
4. HP Pavillion DV6 (48k, 1GB graphics)

I know these are normal pre-requisites for a laptop:
1) Good number of USB ports, 2) HDMI interface, 3) Good sound output

Kindly help me make an informed decision on the PROS and CONS of these models as regards, robustness, looks, battery life, and any other parameters which can be considered under full consumer satisfaction.
Also, can suggest if I missed out on any other better models.

Thanks,
Ayush

HI Puys,

I had 2 queries abt my old lappy-- 4 year old Inspiron 6000 model with 1.8Ghz processor and 1or2 GB(nt sure gotta confirm once i get home) ram. My query is
1. Can i upgrade my RAM capacity? How can i Check if the borad/slot supports more?
2. I am having some issues with my sound. When i put in my mics it works fine. But no sound comes when i take it out to play the music via speakers... But if i try angling/twisting the jack of the headphone in some positions without inserting it fully then i am able to hear the sounds via speaker!!! :)..So i assume the speakers are fine.. If so then is it an OS issue or some loose contacts something? Any suggestions on how to rectify it?? TIA

I have sony VAIO notebook ,model no. VGN -NW120J .I have purchased it from US.
Now they dont give me any free service here in India .and for one time service charge is 1000 Rs.

I have ordered Windows7 OS DVDS from US .
now they are not getting properly installed. Halfway it says ,some files are missing or courrpted.I have followed all their instructions. but no result.

now I contacted my local service centre ,they said they would charge 1000 rs for installing DVDS.
Now I want to know by any means CAn i install it.? How can I clean my DVDs so it can run smooth and get installed?

This windows vista sucks..I am fed up with it .desperate to use windows7.
and My notebook is too slow now a days .some times I have to wait one minute to type one sentence .


Help me out puys !. this VAIO sucks..really ...

I think this is the actual specification of your laptop:-

  1. Intel Pentium M 1.8 GHz
  2. 80 GB Hard Disk
  3. 512 MB DDR2 RAM
  4. Intel Wireless Adapter
  5. 15.4" WideScreen
  6. 8x DVD Writer

Maximum Memory 2.0 GB
Memory Expansion
2 sockets

Note
:-
There were some more laptops with same model name and they have different specifications.So, I suggest you to confirm and verify the details.

Your Win7 DVD might be corrupted.Try making image of that disk using Nero(recommended) or any third party software's and again burn it to other blank SONY or MOSERBAER DVD at 4x or 8x speed.

Does it shows the file name which is corrupted at the time of installation failure?

Regards,

well puys

You accidentally deleted all partitions that contains your data. Now you have to create new partitions and install fresh OS in your primary drive i.e. C.
Note:- There are some software's that helps us in recovering the deleted partitions but my experience says that it's possible but up to some extent. I mean the chances are very less for complete recovery.
For example:-

Can anyone from Delhi tell me where to look for a 1 TB external HDD (Seagate) in Nehru Place.. any particular shop/s? Please lemme know approx. cost, & the difference in cost b/w 1/1.5/2 TB configs. 1 TB costs not less than 6000 bucks on online sites, so I would prefer to pick from Delhi if the difference is on the higher side. Awaiting responses.
