Hard drive full running xp ,drive is paritionedc,d

You can do this:
1. Move (cut and paste) around 2GB - 3GB of your data to an external storage (USB flash drive or hard drive),
2. Fix the hard drive using Norton Utility (download and run it):

Error code 7 means that your hard disk drive failed and is defective. As for reloading windows XP, I wouldn't. It's not supported by Microsoft any more. I would load Win 7 after replaceing the drive.

Hi there

You need to give more information, because a million things can cause your problem.

What CPU do you have in?
How much RAM does the PC have?
How big is hte hard drive?
Is the hard drive almost full?
Do you have a decent anti virus program?

Post again with the info, and I am sure you can be helped.

Regards

Firstly install SP3 if that doesnt work you need to update your bios to get large disk support. If you dont want to perform any of these fixes you could simply split the drive into 2 or more partitions to access the full 250gb. Goto Control Panel/Computer Management/Disk Management you will see in there the missing gb's of your drive. Simply right click it format it and give it a drive letter.......Cheers from Scott

It shouldn't unless norton detects iminent hard drive failure. Norton just wants to complete its steps in making your computer safe and recoverable. You do not have to back up but if you do have hard drive death this could save your important documents. There should be an option in norton to select not to notify you about system backup. Good Luck

I never did like norton stuff.


format the whole hard drive as one partition (not with norton)

use FDISK or similar

then to let the xp disk do its own thing

after xp is installed and running fine then run norton PM and resize to what you want for the C drive and let norton do its stuff.

you should now have C and D drives. if you want to split further use norton PM again and resize D and once again let norton do the business. you should now have C, D(but smaller) here I would use microsofts disk manager or norton toformat the last bit if thats what you did. and so on ad infinitum.

the 110 error means there is alread xp on the destination and it cannot go ahead usually if i was doing a clean install i would not have told it to leave the system intact but told it to go ahead and format (unless i was doing a repair install)

Boot in safe mode and try to run virus software.
If you can remove hard drive? find another hard drive that has a system with virus software, and make your drive the secondary drive and run virus software.
Usually your virus cd boots or lets you make a boot floppy, when booted run virus software.
Have a nice day

You can use partition magic from norton to partition the hard drive without loosing any data.

I am not a fan of Norton, but, I would uninstall Norton 360, see if the drive letter comes back. If that works you can try to re-install your Norton, and if it happens again, use a different anti-virus.

win xp required more then 256 mb ram
mcafee antivirus make system slow,
it take more ram
so u remove antivirus & also
go to run give msconfig
then remove start up items.
for more information call me +919985064600.
avast anti-virus is better it's do not make slower & also norton.
