Problem With Harddrive
 |
HI, recently i'm having some problem with my comp. I was trying to recover my xp home edition, and every time i try it stops at 12% , and says that " Incompatible image in use" Can someone please tell me how can i fix this problem. Now i can't usemy PC any more. I really need help.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Did you solve the problem? I just went through something very similar with my Sony VAIO and after some research and phone calls found out that the image in the System Recovery CDs was done on a computer with 256K RAM. If you have more RAM than that, remove the extra RAM, run the Recover software and reinstall the RAM.
It worked for me.

Thank you!!!

This is the best idea!!! You saved my life!!
My vaio notebook: PCG GRT 916V had a damaged Harddisk (60GB)
So I put in a new harddisk (Western Digital Scorpio 250GB 8MB)
and tried the System Recovery CD and ...checksum error !
After removing one of the two ram's the installation works perfect!!
No Bios-Problem! No Problem with the Battery on the Motherboard!
After assembling the removed Ram, my notebook is running very good!
By and thanks for the Link - You saved my Life - indeed!! Tom
