Laptop Info Today

Archive for April, 2009

Remember when there is a time when you start your laptop and it keeps on loading for a while and then it restarts. This contiues on and on …. again and again.

No matter how you try to overcome this ….. you end up in sheer frustration.

Well, if you’re using XP, you can always use the automatic repair function but what if the automatic repair function tell you that it is an “UNKNOWN” partition?

I have faced this problem a couple of times with my clients PCs and the fast way to overcome is NOT the F- word ( in a gentle manner re-formatting).

Using the command prompt recovery console is a good solution and once you are familiar with this one …. it’s a snap.

Firstly … boot up and proceed to your recover console environment.

• Next choose the drive…. by default it is 1 - which stands for your C drive.
• Type chkdsk to run a scan on your disk.
• After the chkdsk have ended, type fixboot C:
• Finally type BOOTCFG /rebuild to fix your boot up files.
  You might be prompted whether you want to attempt this operation. Just choose Yes or type Y and proceed

What it does it fix up your boot up files. For the UNKNOWN partition, once your boot up files is corrupted it messes your partition. And don’t worry, by doing this, your data will be untouched.

Hi guys, it’s been a long time ( a month actually) since I did any posting and to my fellow visitors, some might wonder what actually happens to me and all my new posts?

I’m back from the dead (to say the least) as I was pre-occupied with developments on the Windows SharePoint platform (MOSS) and my first ever experience with Rapidshare.

Due to all these activities, I kinda neglect a bit of my blogging and to tell you the truth ……. it’s been a hell of activities and experiences for the past month.

I would like to thank my fellow visitors for visiting this blog of mine and for some wonderful comments posted in this blog.

During the time, MYBOXPRO.com has an increased in Page Rank from PR 1 to PR2.

I’m very grateful for all the support given by my fellow visitors and for continuous tips and tricks, this site will continue to provide more of that.

I’m back and this site is back and who knows since I could even do a blog on SharePoint in the future .
