XP pro chkdsk problems with hdd/game installation
i have been having trouble installing a game i downloaded almost a year ago
(rise of nations) it has installed fine previously I am getting cabinet file errors (.cab) i have downloaded Advanced cab repair, repaired all the game cabs and tried and it failed so i decided to perofmr defrag and re build page file and do a chkdsk did it through command line in windows (chkdsk that is) and it found errors, so i stuck chkdsk /f to try the fix, it said to make one open up on next boot, so it did, and it did its thing, i re build page file when i restarted and set it as 748mb to 1024 mb and i then tried a fresh chkdsk in windows on cmd and it came up with the same error after i performed the /f on the chkdsk when i re booted (the error has something to do with Bitmap?) so i thought what the hell i tried to instal the game again and a different cab file ballsed it up, so i have given up, why wont this game work when i was playing on it yesterday and needed to re install it today and i cant, also whats wrong with ckdsk is my hard drive knackered or on its way out? it is a ATA133 maxtor 80gb second hand, bought it from a gd mate who wouldn't rip me off with a shoddy disk but does it sound like this disk is on its way out because of chkdsk constantly returning the bitmap error if so its an excuse to get a SATA drive as my board supports it and will let me have dvd-rw on ts own ide controller any help on either of the topics game and chkdsk would be greatly appreciated Thanks Chris -- -- MSI KT6V AMD Athlon XP2600+ |

when my hard drive gave up then computer would lock up when you saved any
think to disk, sounds like its the program, if you can do a defrag then test if by install some thing esle you know works. if thats ok then it,s not the hard drive |
