Glad we were able to figure out what your problem was with the forum.
I understand from our discussion in class that your daughter "helped" you by compressing your D drive. That is generally a bad thing. Your D drive is your recovery disk and should never be accessed unless there is a problem with your C drive. As I explained, it might help to think of it as an inflatable life raft on a large vessel. The life raft (d drive) is never to be touched unless there is a problem with the main vessel (c drive).
I have done a little research and have found others have had the same symptoms after they created a series of recovery CDs based on their D drive. Did you or your daughter create any recovery CDs?
For anyone else wishing to take a shot at helping, you need to list some of your system information. Please give us at least the following:
Manufacturer: HP
Make of Computer:
Model of Computer:
Date purchased:
Amount of RAM:
Size of C drive:
Bytes remaining on C drive:
Size of D drive:
Bytes remaining on D drive:
Operating System: Windows Vista/Home
Security Software installed:
What is the exact error message you are seeing?
If others reply to this, they may request additional information. At this point, based on the fact that someone whose qualifications I don't know has done something to your Recovery drive, I would recommend getting in touch with HP and asking them to send you a set of recovery disks. When they ask you why, explain to them what the problem is, they may have a simpler solution that we are able to come up with.
It is always better to have too many good solutions than not enough.
