Disconnect any media card readers, USB flash drives, or any other usb device that reads media and try it again.

Go to Map network drive in one of your folders. Try and force the mapping of your drives to a certain letter. Once it gets disconnected, it is not supposed to keep the drive hanging like that. It should've went back to B, then D, then E...etc.\n\nIf you cant get this resolved by forcing it, then you will need to do a scandisk and make sure you reset your drives. Or you can just reformat and next time make sure you use the NTFS partition.

Why was the choice made to use the System recovery CDs that came with your PC vs. the System Restore option?\n\nIn most cases the "System Restore" will restore your PC to the point that it was last updated or new software was installed.\n\nTime and disks requested depends on what needs to be recovered/restored. Normally you put in Recovery disk 1, a complete restore might ask you to insert the next disk, and so on.\n\nSo, it is not normal for your system to ask for the same disk over and over again, unless it wasn't able to do what it suppose to do.\n\nIf running, Windows 2000 or XP and still are having problems after running the Recovery disks. Try to cold boot the system and press the F8 key, as soon as you turn on the PC, to start the PC in Safe mode. Then click Start>Help and support>Select "Undo changes to your computer with System Restore".

if the safe mode dos'nt works, it sims that you don't have too much options.Try to check the memory modules.You can save your data getting out the hard drive and go to a friend to copy them. Or run Knoppix from cd(or any linux live cd distribution and burn your data on a dvd).This will work if you have two optical drives.You can try to start with your Windows cd, and use the repair ability.Try the "fixmbr" command.\nDon't expect too much from this.Finaly ... format C:

f the second parameter (0xbbbbbbbb) of the Stop error is 0xC0000032, then the file system is damaged.\n\nIf this is the case, restart the computer to the Recovery Console, and then use the chkdsk /r command to repair the volume. After you repair the volume, check your hardware to isolate the cause of the file system damage.\n\nTo do this, use the following steps:\n1.Start your computer with the Windows startup disks, or with the Windows CD-ROM if your computer can start from the CD-ROM drive.\n2.When the Welcome to Setup screen appears, press R to select the repair option.\n3.If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the Windows installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.\n4.Type the administrator password when you are prompted to do so.\n\nNOTE: If no administrator password exists, press ENTER.\n5.At the command prompt, on the drive where Windows is installed, type chkdsk /r, and then press ENTER.\n6.At the command prompt, type exit, and then press ENTER to restart your computer.For additional information about how to use the Recovery Console in Windows XP, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

You can order recovery discs from HP here (See Step 2):\n\nhttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?cc=us&docname=bph07143&lc=en\n\nThis is exactly why I would never buy a computer without discs. Just so you know, if you ever have a system without discs in the future, they may give you a means of creating them yourself. (See Step 1.) That's not gonna' help you now, but good to know for the future.

Have you got a recovery disk?\n\nIf yes try that.\n\nIf no, seek expert help.\n\n///

The most sensible answer is that you've pulled out one of the connectors for the hard drive. Try pushing them back in?

how many have you made?  Most drives will eventually wear out and stop working.  Maybe your drive isn't working anymore, or maybe its not connected right, or maybe you just need to reinstall the drivers.

The drive went dead or the IDE cable or 12V cable became loose and needs to reattached.\n\nEither way, first enter 'Setup' during boot to check whether the drive is recognized.  Press F12 or 'Delete' during boot.  Browse around and look to see if the CDROM shows up in your IDE configuration.\n\nIf it doesn't then you have to open up the computer.  Open it up by taking out the screws in the back and remove one or both side panels (or the top in the case of some older computers).\n\n1) Pull the power cord off the back of the computer.  Don't want to shock anything...\n\n2) Look for the cables that are attached to the CDROM drive.  There should be two: 1 ribbon cable gray or black and another cable with a white connector having 4 female receptacles (what a dream!).  \n\n3) Try the power cable first.  It may be hard to detach so don't worry...  you won't break it.  Reattach it.  It only fits one way.\n\nReattach the plug to the computer and power up (don't touch anything).  Try the CDROM door (does the light go on?) Power down.\nIf not working:\n4) Pull off the ribbon cable (straight out - don't bend it down or up, shimmy it side to side gently).  Make sure you look for the red wire on the cable because this is #1 and needs to be reattached on the side closest to the power cable.\n5) Reattach the cable  by pushing it in straight and power up again.\n\nIf it doesn't work your CD-ROM is dead and needs to be replaced... $40.  By a DVD combo drive or a DVD writer this time.\n\nLook at the bright side! Now you know how to install it!!!\n\nI'm betting a cable is loose.\n\nOh and By the Way.  If you HD light is always on then it is looking for something or you don't have enough memory in your computer to run all the stuff that is trying to run at startup.  Defragment your hard drive and uninstall some programs before you try to fix the hardware.  You can do this from the Control Panel.

Can you add a little more info?\n\nIs D a CD&#92;DVD drive? Another partition on your hard drive partition?  Another hard drive itself?\n\nAs cliched as it sounds, if you are running a Windows system, rebooting may repair.

Perhaps just the motherboard of the hard drive died. Buy a second hand one exactly the same as yours and swop the boards.

There is nothing else you need to do. It should have worked. \n\nTry to see if the drive is visible from the bios when you start the system. It might be that there is a conflict with some other device that is sharing the same IDE cable. Try changing it from master to slave or the opposite! (there is a little jumper on the back of the drive for doing this).

When entering recovery console as noted above type this in:\n\nfdisk /mbr\n\nif that dont work try this:\nfixmbr
