What kind of problem or worm could reload in windows set-up after a new preloaded hard drive from E-Machine?

Since it is an Emachine under warranty apparently you will just have to deal with the hassle of them sending you part by part. Next it will be a new motherboard, then new RAM, power supply... Companies like that don't really troublshoot, they just have you rebuild the computer until something works - at least thats what Dell usually does.

I would have reformatted it. If you had a boot sector virus for instance, It will likely still be there.\n\nI use the wash utility found in webroot windows washer.\n\nYou can either install the hard drive as an extra storage drive and write zeros across it or you can make a floppy disk and boot to that.  In this situation you would only want the old drive plugged in as this is the drive you are to clean.\n\nWebroot windows washer is very easy to use. You can use the free trial to do this.  See link below.\n\nSo there is no confusion, I am an affiliate. I don't care if you  purchase it or not. I am simply  providing that link because the trials from my website are fully functional. If you get it from the website it just shows you what needs cleaning. \n\nSimply formatting or fdisking your computer DOES NOT ERASE ANYTHING.\n\nHope that helps\nNigel

My guess is that you have a problem with your second hard drive. If you have another that you can swap in, that would be a good test. If it is not the second hard drive, it could be problems with a virus or other malware. Do a thorough virus sweep of all your drives and see what's going on.\n\nGood luck!

Reformat the hard disk again. I think it should solve your problem.

Moving a computer doesn't normally cause that kind of problem, unless you dropped it or something.\n\nIf the hard drive is working, but is "wiped clean" (totally erased, operating system and all), or even partially erased, the most likely explanation is that someone (accidentally or on purpose) erased it.\n\nIf you describe exactly what happens when you turn the computer on, I might be able to help you diagnose the problem better.

try usin a ghost, copy the entire content of your original hard drive to your new one, i do this quite often, i back up my hard drive and just incase something bad happens i can just copy the entire thing from my back up drive

Hi, you will want to install a new hard drive. You can leave the old one in. You will have to move the jumper on the old one and set it to "slave" Put your new drive where the old one was. Put the jumper on the new drive where the jumper was on the old drive initially. This will make the new drive "master" It is probably like this by default.\n\nYou can now throw away the one that is about to break completely.\n\nNow you will install windows fresh on your new drive. Once in windows, you have an extra drive(old one). You can now move any information you need from the old drive to the new drive without having to boot to it.\n\nhope that helps....if you need more assistance, edit your post or feel free to shoot me an email. It's not very complicated to do this.  No need to stress!

It happens, just go to 'my computer', then find the drive and double click, it will then start up. It can get annoying but windows is lame so what do you expect?

New hard drives are so cheap now that I would not even waste my time debugging the problem. Go out and buy a new cheap drive and give it a shot.

you can do system recovery which clears your hard drive memory, and when finished, it starts as if your pc is brand new

You will probably have to clean the harddrive and then reformat it. It has like 15 registry lines and if you miss one, it comes back.

ah newbies :-)\n\nif you dont have anything valuable on your Disk, boot up your computer in Dos prompt or Comamnd Prompt or Safe made then open Command Prompt.\n\nWhen your in there run the command \n"Chkdsk" this will scan your C drive for errors.\n\nif it still doesnt work try "fdisk". Its another utility to help "seperate" them. \n\nIf your not comfortable playing around with your computer, start it up regualry, right click C: (or w/e hard drive) Properies tools, Check for Errors or something along those lines it should be under Defragmat. \n\nCheck "fix automatically" \nIt will say "its in use check disc next time the system rebbots"  click yes\n\nnow reboot, you can expect you computer to be doing this for at least an Hour.\n\ngood luck

I would suggest you right click on my computer and go to manage and then that will bring up a console and you go to disk management and you should be able to see what it says about your external drive ie if its un allocated or w/e. Post back with that info, btw did this hard drive work correctly in your other computer before it broke down or did it break down because the hard drive broke down or what ?

your window's was loaded from a cd that has either corrupt or missing data. Get a different cd and reload windows

You may want to run a virus scan on it.  It doesn't sound good.  Try to backup your data file as soon as possible.  The last resort is to format your drive and start over with installing windows.  Good luck.
