I had this issue late on a machine I built kn I am one that have tried, i believe, every suggestion ever mentioned here. I read all 42 pages and meticulously kept a log of any viable solution that worked for anyone.
I think there must have been at least 50 solutions listed. So, I have both of these issues at the same time. Why did I take so long in posting? Well, I must have spent 40 hours researching this issue back in and then decided to build my new machine.
I think back then this was only about 20 some pages. Anyway, my particulars may be a bit unique. I had more detailed notes which are currently being held hostage on another machine. However, As I remember, I installed new nvidia drivers and something didn't seam right but as I remember the system booted and worked for some months after.
I then decided to move the hardware to a an older box so that I could build a new system in the box this machine was in. After using the system a bit and subsequently changing drives and plugging and unplugging the SATA connectors I started noticing drive read write error on the slave.
Then started noticing them on the system drive. I then inspected and noticed that the SATA connector pins or wires started breaking at the through hole point on the board. At lead one on the slave I noted was broken and one on the system drive was almost broken but on messing a little a few more broke on each. I updated to the 1. Tried the Win cd and clicked 'New Install' and then 'R'.
These are some of the major things that should have fixed it. I am about ready to give up but have revisited this this week and spent another 40 hours on it. I didn't want to give up if there is an easy fix but I am now skeptical.
I am pretty sure though that my issue has something to do with the SATA connectors breaking and doing something. If any know-it-alls or geeks are still listening feel free to give some suggestions on what you think broken SATA connectors would do and how to fix this and at least make the drive boot via USB.
I didn't understand that. This must be the most infamous problem of all time Just had this happen on my Thinkpad T60 after many years of no problems and no hardware or software changes recently.
In my case it's definitely not a hardware issue. Under Parted Magic in Linux I can see the partition and all directories and files. I just copied them. But I can't boot Windows and the HD is not recognized when connecting to another pc via usb. Nor is it seen by DOS. It crashes exactly the same as Windows in normal mode, to the black Windows splash screen. I guess there are many problems with the same symptoms and no single answer, nor a good systematic way of diagnosing it.
I will report on my findings if I ever resolve it. Your last statement is absolutely true with this particular problem. Several others as well as myself have said exactly the same thing during the time this thread has existed.
In my case it was a Windows machine that first had this problem and caused me to find this thread. For that particular computer it was a simple hardware change I had made, and when I reversed the change I had made the problem went away.
For many others the solution was much more complicated and time consuming. Overall it usually turns out to be some sort of hardware issue, but not all the time.
Some folks have solved it by repairing Windows or running some sort of software, while others have had to format their hard drives and re-install Windows. I suppose I'm lucky I haven't had this happen again considering how many computers I've owned and how many times I've installed various versions of Windows on those machines and made hardware changes along the way. In the past year I started migrating my computers to Windows 7 but I ran XP Pro on several machines in the 8 years since my first post on this forum and have not had this problem crop up again after that first one.
I'm sure this won't be the last post on this thread, but posts are getting farther and farther between which I'm sure is due to XP being used less and less nowadays. Will it make the year mark next year? Time will tell. Yes No. Sorry this didn't help.
Thanks for your feedback. The reason why is, because Windows XP has been long gone and there is no way that I could play those old games, since when I had visited an elderly person's house to play Cluefinders, when I was within Neil Armstrong School.
It would be sad to see them all go and it would be pretty hard to create a Virtual Machine box to be able to run Windows XP within a Virtual Box while keeping Windows 10 Currently Running. I have the same question 2. Report abuse. For Windows-7 the support is important to me, because i can't easily switch my system to Windows So i hope, that the support for Win-7 will be continued.

Some software I use will not work in anything beyond XP. I use Sandboxie to run this software allowing different configurations without affecting the core registry. The Sophos version was functional until yesterday when the licensing expired.
It should expire on the 13th, but no luck there. I updated registration on the last day the licensing server was available. I uninstalled the Sophos Sandboxie v5. Everything went well until reboot. After reboot, the system went into a loop of continuous rebooting. I had to restore the previous XP to get the system running again.
