Quote: To troubleshoot disc read errors, use the following methods in the order in which they are presented. Clean the Disc Clean the CD-ROM. To do this, use a disc cleaning kit, or gently wipe the silver side of the disc with a soft, lint-free cotton cloth. Do not use paper cloth which can scratch the plastic and leave streaks. When you clean the disc, wipe from the center of the disc outward. Do not use a circular motion. If the issue continues to occur, clean the disc with a damp cloth or a commercial CD cleaning solution. Dry the disc thoroughly before you insert it into the drive. If the issue continues to occur, proceed to the next method. Test the Disk in another Drive Try the CD-ROM or DVD disk in another drive. If the disc works in this test, then the problem may be with the original drive not properly reading the disc. Please seek help from your computer or disc drive manufacturer. If your computer has multiple CD-ROM, CD-R, CD/RW, test the disc in the other drive. If after cleaning the disc, it does not work on another computer then it is likely bad and needs replacing. If you see the same issues with a replacement disc as with the original disc, proceed to the next method. Clean the Drive If cleaning the CD-ROM does not resolve the issue, clean the disc drive using a CD-ROM drive cleaning disc if you have one. If you do not have one, obtain one after all other steps in this article have failed to resolve the issue. Drive cleaning discs are available in most computer or home electronics stores.

There is one adware BHO: Quote: O2 - BHO: Explorer Class - {962F12AE-2773-4BEB-99EA-B5C3AB9A6606} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\DSMANA~1.DLL Fix it with hijack. Source.

For XP, try these: 1) Start with XPCD in CDROM/DVD drive and boot from it. 2) Start Recovery Console (press "R") from Welcome to Setup screen. 3) Login with your Administrator account. 4) At the command prompt execute: "chkdsk /p /r" this can take some time... 5) Then execute: "fixboot c:" 6) Type "exit" to reboot system. To prevent this from happening again, download and install this "Critical Update, February 10, 2002" This should be fixed in SP1>

Cool! Have to try that at home.

Only way to create a FAT32 partition larger than 32GB within XP is to use 3rd party formatting tool. But XP can read FAT32 partitions larger than 32GB, created by other OSes (win9x/me). Sorry, forgot that. You could use Partition Magic or Acronis Partition Expert to format your disk. Alternatively, you can take your external drive to a Win98/ME computer, install the drivers for it, and then format it there.

Copy the autoexec.nt and config.nt files from c:\windows\repair to c:\windows\system32, overwriting the files in system32.
