IT BS thread

I haven't had a chance to get into his office today. I think he is extremly busy playing Angry Birds. I really need to get my PHD.

 

Maybe he could switch to, idk, a more modern editor too

I will give him this and that is TeX is a lot easier for equations and the like.

 

So I see the file in the directory. Here is the sorce code:

This makes it look like he's running a different or incomplete package in the office.

You might want to look at this.

 

We have reverted his work to the same version as personal. I am now downloading the MacTex on a different mac and I am going to try and run it.

This one may have to wait till Monday, I am about to go to lunch for 3 hours.

 

Good luck and hope it works out for your customer.

 

Hey guys my bosses computer crashed today and whenever I try to go through recovery or repair it says it has an error code: 0xc00000e9

I looked it up and it says there is a problem with the BIOS. Anyone know how I could fix it?

 

Some additional info. Tried running in safe mode and safe mode with command prompt so I could check the hard drive and it gets stuck loading at

\windows\system32\drivers\CLASSPNP.SYS

 

I don't know where you seen that it is BIOS

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...c00000e9/c874be58-416f-4f1a-9827-d112a1d07b6a

Put in a install disc and go into the recovery mode. Run chkdsk there.

 

That's what I saw on another one. And no install disk and like I said can't boot in safe mode

 

Go into the bios, and reset to defaults, otherwise there may be a bios upgrade available on the webpage of the manufacturer.

 

How much info would be lost in resetting them to defaults?

 

Nothing, there is no data in the bios. Just to clarify, this is a longshot option, but it won't hurt much to try.

 

nothing. resetting the BIOS will not alter any of your files. You may have to change back which drive you boot of by default though.

 

Okay. He has a ton of stuff on his comp that he can't lose so just making sure first

 

That is a little vague.

It likely means the hard drive is puking, or perhaps there's an issue with the hard drive controller itself.

I'd yank the drive and try to read it on another machine. Run a scandisk/checkdisk on it, that sort of thing, see if you can get the data off of it.

Second step would be to swap in another drive to that PC and see if it can see that.

 

Didn't work. Was worth a shot tho thanks

 

I recommended this but he said no thatd he just send it in to corporate (who will more than lilely do the same thing)

 

this.

chkdsk /f has worked some wonders here at work.

you might want to try making a bootable flash drive and pulling off the files just in case.

 

I can't get a command prompt to open. Thats part of the problem
