Maybe you should try to do a "destructive" restore. when restoring from the recovery disc, you have the option to do a "destructive" or "none destructive" system recovery. if you choose to to non destructive recovery, then any virus that may be on your pc will not be removed and this may be the reason why your recovery always stops half way through. note that this will format the hard drive and you will loose all the files on the hard drive, including photos and documents. if this doesn't work then you should try to find out if you have a hardware problem. you can download one diagnostic software from seagate, that you burn to a cd. you use this as a boot disc, like the recovery disc, to test your hard drive, memory and motherboard to see if you need to replace any components. the most common problem is the hard drive. http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=SeaTools&vgnextoid=720bd20cacdec010VgnVCM100000dd04090aRCRD

change your motherboard.

I would best guess it is a bad hard drive that is an older computer and running a deep scan can finish off a dying hard drive. this is 85 percent the cause of your problem ata best guess. you need to have the internal hard drive tested. good luck

Since Vista is a very old operating system you’re going to have quite a challenge finding tools that will solve your problem
- In this particular case you may want to go to a local PC repair shop that would have the old operating system discs you’ll need to restore
- From your description it is tough to figure out whether this is a software problem or if there is something physically beginning to fail on your machine but I can tell you from experience that with the machine of that era you have a hard drives that are at least 10 years old

you have to use either slots as not the same memory slots

Using another PC, download 3DP Net (http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/net_down_en.php), put it in a pen drive and run it on the T5026. This program can install most Ethernet adapters even offline. Normally I would go to the manufacturer's website and download the driver from there but I could'n find this one.

You'll need to replace the Graphics Card with one that supports the OS you are using. Look to eBay for one

If there is a connection for the SATA drive, the bios should see it. You'll have to go into the bios setup (hit F2 key repeatedly on reboot) and look around until you find the setting. I cannot tell you exactly where it is, as you may have a different bios version. I suggest you plug the drive cable into the "SATA 0)", plug in the drive power plug, and then hook up the main (110 volt) power cord. Don't forget the power for the new drive. I also suggest you try changing ONLY ONE SETTING AT A TIME. Write down where it was, how you got to it, what it was, and what you changed it to. If that does not work, it will be easy to undo what you did, and try another setting. Years of experience has taught me not to make wholesale changes to the bios. Look for something like "Integrated Peripherals"

Check to see if unit works with other disks. If it works fine then it is definitely a software issue that is preventing playback of your disk. Install VLC freeware and see if that plays it back.
