Title: maybe one of you guys can help
Post by: Deacon on February 09, 2011, 12:45:36 AM

I AM A NOOB
BANNED FROM COMPUTER MOST OF MY EARLY CHILDHOOD BECAUSE MY DAD THOUGHT I GAVE HIM VIRUSES THROUGH GAMES (and still does, ignorant fuck)
I was hoping one of you guys would be able to tell me if there is something else i should do. first, the story.

so i have this laptop, right
and its all fucked up right now

its an HP Pavilion dv6-3013cl (like that matters)

It was running slow in startup
then it ran slow after startup
then i got error messages for random programs, from itunes to windows explorer
"I/O error status of 0xc0000185"
was what i managed to write down

so i figured, ah fuck. something happend.
when ran a disc check, it told me i couldn't, that some recently installed software had messed up the disc, and that i should do a restore
so i go to look at the restore points; gone

so now i'm pissed cause it is set to create restore points on its own


So i go to my dedicated restore drive, which apparently this computer has (drive D: or whatever)
had it to reinstall all software so that it would be as it came from the factory.

it started to uninstall things, you know, unimportant things like my operating system....
and then failed to reinstall due to something like

instruction 0x0000000071EF064 returned 0x0000000071FBB7E0> I/O error status of 0xc0000xxx where the underlined x's were different numbers than before.

Now when i try to start it, its all I don't know what the fuck you did but i don't work anymore Windows Error Recovery
Windows failed to start. Gives me options of safe mode, things like that. i try boot normal.
> Windows failed to start.
>>File: \Windows\system32\drivers\ndis.sys
>>Status: (changes every time) 0xc0000221
>>Info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing, or corrupt.
I hit continue, gives me option of choosing an operating system to start, or run windows memory diagnostic, which i have stayed away from cause i don't know what the fuck i'm doing

so thats as far as i've got. googled this number thing they said virtual memory but i don't know what that is so fuck it
all i've done is ordered a windows repair disc from HP.

basically what i'm asking is, what should i do? will this disc magically fix my problems or is my computer fucked?





EDIT: Oh hey...according to google this file is attacked by viruses frequently.
So I have a virus. Conveniently right as my trial software (came with the computer) expires.
Why do I have Windows Defender if it doesn't fucking work?
Ugh. So now what do I do?

goto thepingazbay. Type in windows 95 32 bit. Download. Burn it to a disk. Insert the disk and restart your computer. Install it. And wallah!
 :trollface:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

jking

but just uh, reinstall your operating system. Since you got your computer from somebody else you may not have the recovery disk with it. I would suggest getting a Windows XP disk from a friend, store or online. It should come with instructions. Pretty straight forward. If you need more help, you can always contact me through steam. I can't post links where to get it or magic would slap me on the hand 30 times and make me stand in the corner with a "dunce" hat on.

And you really can't "Fuck" up your computers hardware by software.

couldnt he just run the OS system from the Boot?
on start up, you can press f11 or summin 2 enter pc summin….
from there i think you can reboot it :)

worked with my old laptop :)

Are you implying safe mode? I think he tryed that and did the recovery partition that all HP computers come with.

no, i mean when you turn on the pc, you get that loading screen, which usually have an "back-entrance" such as f1 or f11, where you can see specs bout your pc, on my pc that ran windows vista, i was able too reboot it from that screen :s

Get parted magic(http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=start (http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=start)) burn to a CD, Boot it at startup

Run it from the RAM when you get the options with everything enable, then click Partion Manager, and right click on the "windows" partion then format it to NTFS

let it run, restart laptop, insert windows CD, reinstall windows

reformat shud fix everything. just pop in an xp dick and boot from it, simple steps from there

Ok I have windows 7. The computer failed to boot from the recovery thing, and HP told me to get a windows recovery disc so I did a few days ago, its in the mail. I assume that this is what I need, yes? Boot from that yeah?
I guess ill have to come back to this thread when I get the disc

Title: Re: maybe one of you guys can help
Post by: Peetah on February 09, 2011, 03:45:14 PM

You can manually replace the files using a windows install disk.
But it does require a bit of knowledge. Yeah dont go this route.

Title: Re: maybe one of you guys can help
Post by: Deacon on February 09, 2011, 04:41:00 PM

okay
got the disc much sooner than expected
ran repair
it is currently frozen in place at 0%
it installed all, got to 100% then kicked the disc out
so as soon as it unfreezes it should be good
so i figured this would be as good of a thread as any to also ask

since i got a virus, i can only assume that windows defender failed
as did MSE
what is a good free non-fuck-up-your-computer antivirus software, or should i just shell out a bit and buy one

BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart


FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
what now

Title: Re: maybe one of you guys can help
Post by: Peetah on February 09, 2011, 05:04:20 PM

Mmm tried google?
Anyways its a very common problem.
Get into a command line (CMD). You can access it though the windows disc installation in the very first window click repair computer then click command line.
Simply type this bootrec /fixboot
Hit enter then restart.

Title: Re: maybe one of you guys can help
Post by: Deacon on February 09, 2011, 05:09:13 PM

it doesn't give me that option
i put the disc in and it boots as normal
>takes me to BOOTMGR thing
so i have to hit esc during startup
in order to boot from the disc
then i boot from the disc
and repair is not an option
the only option is continue
which i'm doing a second time now
and i'm pretty sure its not going to work
and i'm also pretty sure i'm going throw this fucking thing through a wall then blow my brains out

already checked that ._.
the disc does not run unless i tell the computer to run it
when it does, there are no options for repair.
nothing like that.

first of all, use http://www.dban.org/download (http://www.dban.org/download) to COMPLETELY wipe your hard drive (if the virus is really nasty, it will still be active even after you've "deleted" it...

then use http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php) to repartition and format the hard drive

next, install hardcore gamefreak porn for massive profit
