Windows Xp Recovery Problems!
Hi guys, well today was one of those days when you realise that 80% or more of your hard-drive space is being taken up by random junk, well i thought that something should be done to rectify this problem and so i went searching for my 3 disk Windows Xp recovery set. After i found what i was looking for i went through the tedious task of backing-up all my important files onto a few dvd's then proceeded to boot windows from the recovery disk number 1 to start the clean install. Basically wanting to open up some space and revert it back to its original state at the time of purchase. However what i was not expecting was the errors that followed, i said "yes" to all the warning messages and when the actual symantec ghost recovery program was actually going to start wiping my hard-drive i was prompted with an error window, the following is what was said "Single user version cannot do multiple loads", now i was confounded as to what this meant...was it refferring to some sort of qouta i had reached that only allowed a certain amount of uses? or was it just my bad luck that something wrong always goes wrong? Well it did have a continue option and so i selected that with hopes that it may still continue the cleansing process. yet i was saddened when to my astonishment i was facing yet another error message, this time saying "Error 11000, Invalid Dump File". Then it said contact manufacturer if problems blah blah, now i was getting quite frustrated at this point and so i pressed enter for continue and the program said my disk had been completely erased and that i should press any key to restart windows and continue, This however was not true as the process to wipe my hard-drive did not occur in the first place. What im really wondering is what has happened and how can i fix it? (if possible), i have used this recovery disk 2 other times to re-install windows Xp on my Acer Aspire T300 the computer i am trying to cleanse. Any help would be much appreciated and sorry for the long winded story!
