This means that the hard drive is corrupted such that the Windows Recovery tools can't solve the problem. You may have lost the MBR or the partition table. The PASS means that there are no bad sectors. However, it doesn't check for bad files. If the problem is in the MBR, you will need a Windows OS install or upgrade disk for your OS (x32 or x64) or a recovery disk. Some members of a Windows Users group may have spare copies of the install disks. Alternatively, a third-party partiton management recovery disk may work. I hope you have a recent backup though since restoring from the backup may be needed. If the problem is with the MBR, press F12 repeatedly on powering up the computer. Select the CD/DVD drive from the list (This is the one-time boot option. If you miss the timing, power down and retry.) With a Windows CD/DVD, follow the on-screen prompts to access the disk and choose Repair your computer. (This option is in smaller text below the Install now button.) Select the command prompt option. From here: type in "bootrec.exe /ScanOs" (without the quotes) and press enter. If any Windows installs are found, you are good to continue. The command, bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd , may be sufficient. If it isn't, use the bootrec.exe /FixMbr and bootrec.exe /FixBoot commands after rebuilding the BCD file. (Press enter between each set of commands.) Try starting the computer and create a new backup soon if it works. For other partition tools, follow their directions for MBR repairs. If bootrec.exe /ScanOs doesn't find any Windows installations, try accessing other drive letters until you find your Windows OS. (For example, type C: or D: and press enter. Then type dir and enter.) If you have access to another computer, pull the drive and use a hard drive dock or USB to hard drive adapter to check the disk out elsewhere. I recently had a drive that reported having a RAW format with most tools. In my case, I was able to use a specific recovery tool, TestDisk for Windows, to salvage a few files that were newer than the last backup. Sometimes, this tool will be able to recover the partition table. (Use this tool with extreme care, it may render any original hidden backup partition unusable.) There are other disk recovery tools out there; some may work. You may want to run additional disk health tests while at this second machine. If the system is faulty but the drive is otherwise healthy, restore using your last backup or the Dell Backup and Restore Utility. The Utility may be in that list of options after you press F8. (Note: the Dell Backup and Restore will return the system to the factory settings. Since the system started with XP and the above header indicates the Vista OS, there may not be a recovery partition available. Similarly, if you upgraded the hard drive, the recovery partition might not be usable.) Follow the directions from your manual/on-screen. If your backups are on CD/DVD or you have a recovery disk, use the F12 process to access the backup. I will admit that with the recent drive I just fixed, the restore from the back up left a problem. This system was a Win8.1 drive and ended up with a MFT mirror issue. I solved this with the chkdsk c: /offlinescanandfix command on the next restart. (This is a switch option only available with newer Windows systems and the NTFS file system. The usual command would be chkdsk c: /f /r /x .) I hope this helps.

To resolve this problem, replace the missing or corrupted Ntfs.sys file:

1. Use the Windows Vista startup disks or the Windows Vista CD to restart your computer.
2. When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to select the To repair a Windows Vista installation using Recovery Console, press R option.
3. Type the number of the Windows installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console, and then press ENTER.
4. Type the administrator password when you are prompted, and then press ENTER. If no administrator password exists, just press ENTER.
5. At the command prompt, type the following commands (press ENTER after each command): cd \windows\system32\drivers
   
   ren ntfs.sys ntfs.oldNote This step renames the corrupted Ntfs.sys file to Ntfs.old. If the Ntfs.sys file is not found, the file is missing.
6. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: copy cd:\i386\ntfs.sys drive:\windows\system32\driversWhere cd is the drive letter for the CD-ROM drive that contains the Windows Vista CD, and drive is the drive where you installed Windows Vista .
7. Remove the Windows Vista CD from your CD-ROM drive, type quit at a command prompt, and then press ENTER to quit the Recovery Console.
8. Restart the computer.

Corrupted user profile, try is this order, stop when it's fixed. 1. Try system restore. 2. Boot from Windows disk, run repairs. 3. Do the above but choose advanced repair options and open command prompt. Type sfc /scannow and after that completes try chkdsk c: /r Note - This is likely a sign that your Hard Drive is failing, also possible is bad/dirty ram. I'd suggest you have a repair shop verify the hardware and BACKUP as soon as you can.

In this case, you will need to reset your Windows Vista password. If your computer is on a domain, only your network administrator is authorized to reset your password. If your computer is not on a domain, you can reset the password by using a password reset disk. To know more about password reset disk, you can refer to the link below: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/create-password-reset-disk#1TC=windows-vista If you do not have a password reset disk, the only option you are left with is to re-install Windows. The following link can be useful to know more about what to do when you have forgot your Windows password: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-do-forget-windows-password#1TC=windows-vista GuruAid.com

Hello, Using the following Network Tools DNS IP Email You can select this link http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=mx%3abtinternet.com&run=toolpage This contains the current MX record for that domain name. When you add your email account to your client, ie outlook, thunderbird, etc, you can select the record and port (pop-110 smtp-25) and the server name would be the MX record listing for that domain. With the user and password set you will be able to add your email account. Now if you run into issues I would contact your hosting provider to determine any specific settings on how to add the email accounts. They may have FAQ pages like this(example) : How do set up my Outlook and Outlook Express for Imail SMTP authentication...
