bad shortcut?

 

[ray_MAN]

Every program except for IE, Paint, and maybe some others.

 

[ray_MAN]

I don't think it recognizes that it is on a harddrive. This sucks. Someone please help me!

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

Wow!


That error is completely new to me and I have had just about every error there is.. ever!



Sucks for you though!
I'm sure theres a solution, but first bk up everything from your computer you want to keep!

 

[Shuzer]

Yep. Sounds like the shortcuts got foobared

Try to launch the games manually through explorer

 

[ray_MAN]

OK. I figured out the problem. Yet there is no solution. The problem:
My computer will not recognize my second hard drive (F) in which all of my games/programs are on.
Bigger problem:
When I go to restart my computer to go into BIOS, it says that there is a hard drive and it displays the amount of space left on it.
Biggest problem:
There is no way to launch my programs in the explorer since there supposedly is no F drive...

Wrong Forum.

Moved.

Hope you get helpage matey.

maybe your F drive has an outdated file system or has gone fubar? sounds like a format would fix it anyway (format of the F drive, that is) since BIOS knows it's there. I'd suggest having both system drive and F drive (and all inbetween?) formatted with NTFS.

Good luck anyway, hope you can get a fix for this without having to format.

 

[ray_MAN]

OK. I did hit the big cntrl+z and I did a system restore hoping it would work. It didn't. Time to do the dreaded defrag.

Right Click on My Computer -> Click "Manage" -> Under the "Storage" Tab, click "Disk Management".

Give us a screenshot of that.

 

[ComradeBadger]

ray, you sure you've got the jumper settings right? I've had wrong ones that made my compy not recognise a CDRW.

Did you install it yourself? When did it start farking? Randomly?

 

[psyno]

Defrag isn't going to do much, mate.

Also, I've never met a BIOS that so much as displays what kinds of partitions are on an HDD, much less how much free space is left in one volume. Are you sure that's what you're seeing?

Probably a good idea to break out the virus scanner at this point as well.

If you get stuck, don't do anything drastic; I have an idea in mind... I'll just have to google it to work out the details.

OK. For some reason I shut off my computer and turned it on to look at porn, and it came back to normal.

Porn solves all.

All hail porn
