Your hard drive is failing, and needs to be replaced as soon as possible,
before you lose the entire contents!
Also, be very careful about downloading any operating system files directly
from an unknown source, and relying on a blog for information. You are
playing with the future of your data.

and by choosing /r you're letting it "repair" whatever might not be 100%
good. If any of the data ( one word in a 100mb document for example) is
corrupted you MIGHT lose the whole document. Or you may end up with 80%
of the disk being flagged as BAD. I haven't reread eveything here, but
if this is an option - go to computer store ( or online) and buy an
adapter to allow you to put YOUR disk into a desktop PC. (It's not that
tough to do) and copy any of YOUR data to the "other disk drive in the
desktop". That way you will have all of YOUR data. The windows tough is
replaceable but yours may not be.

So far, all the advice you gave me, is like from a 5 year.
Why do you think my HD is failing?

Well, Chkdsk /r got my WinXP back, up and running, even if it's running
slow.
Seems all the files are OK, WinXP may be corrapted some what. Reporting
pagefile problems.
I'll back up from the Laptop what I need, I have an external USB HD
drive, than re-install WinXP with the HP repair disks, came with my Laptop.
Should work.

Julius:

Nice going. welcome back.

The HP CD's you have - do they use/assume a D partition on your system ?
Recovery CD's or Install CD's - Do you know ? Just curious as I'm
looking at an HP laptop and wondering what they come with.

Did you notice the summary report - what did it find bad ? If you
haven't yet, just go into DOS and do a chkdsk ( no switches) to get a
summary. See how many bad blocks now.
As for pagefile being corrupt ... If nothing else, change the size of
your pagefile.sys to a minimum temporarily. That will free up most of
the space (So if it's currently auto or custom, e.g. min=512mb -- change
it to 10mb or "none" and reboot) Note it might take a long time to get
going, but it's only for a few minutes. Once booted now that "bad spot"
is available to be captured as a smaller chunk rather than the 512 mb
file it might be otherwise. So only " wasting" maybe 8-10mb (rather than
all 512)

To get to pagefile settings, control panel - system-adv- performance -
advanced - change. Pick the drive and choose Custom ( or none). Now
reboot and rerun chkdsk ( with switches you used) and hopefully it
will find only a few bad blocks - allowing you to use the rest ( of the
512 mb in my example). After that THEN change it back to auto or custom
: 512mb inital - 768mb max (for example)

After it's all backed up and BEFORE your restore.....
The Compaq's used to format the drive/partition as part of the complete
restore - does anyone know if HP restore does ? If not sure, I'd
recommend formatting the drive to identify all the bad blocks prior to
the HP CD's.

Good luck.
