Emergency!!!

[Valerij]

Hi.
Yesterday I discovered that my computer uses over 800ram doing nothing!!! I bet you already know what computer I'm using..? If not, its vista..:S So I kinda turned off some progs thats starts with the windows, so I guess (just guess.. doesn't have to be right!) That some of the could possible be a driver.. Anyway, when I turn on my comp I get two messages;








So, on the first there is nothing unusually besides the
"Floppy disc error 40"

Problem with this;
First I found that Floppy Disc is something inside the computer, and It cant be since my computer worked months just fine, and I haven't opened it lately.. Also, I browsed for this on Google, and some guy says that he have this problem and his comp working just fine... While mine is not..

Second message,
Well, It says something about the S.M.A.R.T. function what is disabled. And I'm not quite sure what that is.. All I can say that I didn't have this message before.



I have two main questions now;
How to fix it?
And will this remain my documents?

Things I tried:
Re-Install Vista
Install Ubuntu



Neither of them worked because my comp don't read the discs for some reason.. :S

Can you even boot into Windows anymore? Because according to your BIOS, it's not even detecting a drive in the Primary. But it may be SATA causing it to not show up there.

Either way, can you elaborate on what it says after IDE Secondary Master? I can't quite make it out.

Floppy Disc error probably shouldn't be a big deal. Do you really even use a floppy drive anymore? You could just always rip that out.

And the SMART thing isn't a problem either. Your harddrive may not have SMART capabilities.

Regardless, none of this BIOS information is going to explain why so much RAM is being used in Windows. The real problem is just Vista!

Here's a tip: In the future, if you don't know what the process does, don't disable. it.

Good luck.

No, I cant get in windows
2) Samsung HD252KJ
3) I dont even have that:S But i have to press F1 all the time now..:S
4) Okey..
5) Well,yeah, but how do I get it to work at least?

Because after those two Images I just get a black screen and it restarts..?

Today I tried to fix i again:P So I went to the BIOS and chosen 'Load Fail-Safe options' Meaning it cant go wrong according to windows, and this is what you call factory settings I guess? Well, then I saved options and restarted computer, and guess what? Now I don't even get the Vista loading bar (when computer loads) or the error message saying I cant install Windows. So I guess my Windows is TOTALLY broke?

When I put the Vista CD I can hear some spinning (lots of it) but Nothing happens.. With linux I dont even get the spinning sound..

Probably best to take it to someone who knows more of what they are doing possibly?

At this point there are too many variables to really be able to help you. Your problem would get resolved much quicker by a professional.
