Computer Troubleshooting And Repair

[itikbitik]

Experts!

 

A little help here please, the problem just started a week ago. When I insert a USB flash drive or my memory stick into my laptop, it will work properly but when I was about to eject it, the pc wouldn't let me do it. even if all the windows are closed already it still won't let me eject the devices,I need to shut down my laptop first before I can pull them out, the same thing happens when I was burning some ISO files into DVD-R's, when I'm finished with the process, I try to delete the files that were burned on the DVD from my hard drive but it will indicate a message that will show that the files are still in use, it will allow me to delete them once I was able to restart the computer. Please tell me what I can do in order to fix this problem

 

Thanx! :headsetsmiley:

 

Did you scan the thumb drive before you accessed it?

 

For win xp

 

start - run - type "diskmgmt.msc"

 

right click on thumb drive and left click on properties

 

remove check on allow indexing then okay

 

Now try removing thumb drive.

 

 

For Vista

 

start - run - type "diskmgmt.msc"

 

right click on thumb drive and left click on properties

 

Policies tab

 

Select Optimize for quick remova

 

okay then try to remove drive

question lang po..

 

pag meron po akong ip block for example 111.222.333.10/29

 

naiset ko na po sa modem & router.

 

gateway ko po is 111.222.333.11..

 

san po ba napupunta yang GATEWAY IP na yan? sa modem po ba o sa router?

kung sa modem, ano po ba pwedeng ip ng router?

just a question - what antivirus are you using? at time, removable devices sometimes are being locked simply because it is being scanned.

I assume you're connecting a router to a DSL modem? Is your DSL modem a plain modem or a combination of a modem and router?

 

 

If it's a plain modem:

Modem: Do not change anything.

Router: IP and Gateway should be what you were assigned with (WAN) and then you can choose an IP from your IP block (LAN)

PC connecting to Router: IP is from your IP Block and Gateway is the IP of the Router

 

If it's a Modem/Router combination:

Modem/Router: IP and Gateway should be what you were assigned with (WAN) and then you can choose an IP from your IP block (LAN)

Router: you really don't need this - unless this is a WiFi?

PC connecting to Modem/Router: IP is from your IP Block and Gateway is the IP of the Modem/Router

 

Of course, if you're using Router as WiFi point, the configuration is different.

pasensya na mejo baguhan lang.

 

i have a Plain modem & a separate router..

for example i have

 

WAN: 333.222.111.20/32

LAN: 111.222.333.10/29

 

Modem -> Router -> PC

 

- so you mean yung GW ko na 111.222.333.11 is IP ng router? so if i ping 111.222.333.11, im communicating with the router?

- and yung IP naman ng Modem ko is 333.222.111.20?

 

Kasi po sometimes when I do a standalone connection, I connect 1 PC directly to the modem & naka OBTain IP ako, when I check on IPCONFIG, ang GW ko po is 111.222.333.11

 

Thanks.

On your router, for WAN port, set it to obtain mode and for LAN port, you can set it up so you can use DHCP. By doing so, you don't have to manually set the IP on your PC since it will always be on obtain mode. The router will automatically assign you an IP and sets the gateway - which is the IP of the router. NOTE: The gateway is almost always the IP of the router - almost always because there are instances where you need to set it blank.

I need help

 

I have two PCs, the other one got fried (yung mother board), tatangalin ko yung hard drive nito

para kunin yung mga files saka para linisin na rin pagkatapos maretrieve at malipat yung mga files dun sa gumaganang pc.

 

How am I going to do that. I have an external hardrive thingy using USB can I use that, ganon po ba yun? when I used an external drive gizmo, hindi lahat ng files nag appear yung mga files sa My Documents ng PC na nasira di nag appear.

you can either attach the HD on the working PC - am not sure you can use your external drive - is it the same size to begin with? is you HD SATA or IDE? is your external drive using SATA or IDE? they have to be the same size and port.

 

got confused on your second paragraph - where you able to use your HD on your external drive? first, turn on Show Hidden Files and Folders. locate for \Documents and Settings\[login name]\My Documents

 

hope this helped
