Harddrive Error.

[scottwile]

i was formatting my sister hp (previously my HP) and i ran into may problems. i got a blue screen error
kernel_data_inpage_error

then there was a bunch of stuff siying if this is your fist time seeing this error then try again or whatever then at the bottom it said mountmgr.sys

what does this mean?
has 120 GB hdd had its better days.

also the xp cd is a clone but kaiwweiler used the same on lastnight and it work perfect for him...

:frusty:

did u try installing again?

At what time during the install did you get this message?

I'm thinking it might be a problem to do with formatting you're hard drive. If you are doing it with fat32 then try ntfs, if you're doing ntfs then try fat32...

I cant remember what the exact error was, but on my k6-2 333mhz computer i get a blue screen if i use ntfs. ;) Not sure why but who cares, i just install fat32 then convert it later.

[scottwile]

alrighty i'll try fat 32 and get back too you..
thanks mate

I don't think that Fat32 is going to make any difference.... (http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prmd_stp_fvlq.asp)

their just sending him a new 120gb Hard drive, which is still a good deal, seeing as he&#39;s modified his hpa320n a whole lot, including adding a new NF7-S mobo and a new 80gb HD lol
so them replacing the 120gb free of charge with no shipping cost or anything doesn&#39;t sound bad to me ;)

the ram is the only think that is from the hp, other then dvd rom and some cables... i got my ram working witht he mobo so i don&#39;t need new ram really but if he wants it i will rip him off with your help and get ram.

and i knew it was the harddrive because i when ever i started up my computer (even a month ago) before maybe after the POST a screen would come up saying all this shit and at the bottom saying "S.M.A.R.T drive error, back up and replace" but i would just hit F2 and continue. and it worked alight just slow.. then when i read that to the HP guy he didn&#39;t hesitate before he said they would send me a new one free of charge&#33;&#33;

:D :P
