Because I am having so much trouble with W2K, I have setup a Win98 installation on my other disk and re-installed all my trading software there. Now, when shutting down I am getting the following error: DISK WRITE ERROR UNABLE TO WRITE TO DISK IN DRIVE C. This is incredible, my computer was working flawlessly for months. Is it possible I have some nasty virus that I cannot detect? I am about two seconds away from buying another computer. Thanks.

hi alex, well, perhaps you are not aware that your problem preceded you to the thread? #reply-15260237 yes, thanks to a concerned thread member, a couple of us have done at least a precursory examination of your prob <g>. check out the replies to gottfried's post, perhaps there's something there. and now we can begin to hunt around for ideas to get you fixed up. i did note that you were a couple seconds away from a new pc purchase..... have you held off on that? :) mark

alex regarding stop error 0x0000000A with win2k, i see Verify that your computer has the latest Service Pack installed as a good place to start. do you have sp1? also, here is a mistersoftee troubleshooter for this error, perhaps you've already been through it. it looks very good.... microsoft.com for now, though, i want to know if you have the service pack installed. this might do the trick. :) mark

When all else fails, do a fresh install of the OS and do the backup thing: ------------------------------------------ MY BULLET PROOF BACK-UP SYSTEM: 1. Install a large second hard drive, just for the purpose of holding back up data from C: 2. Buy Drive Image 4 3. Create an image of C: about every one to two weeks. 4. Back up critical data regularly (daily to be safe) to the second hard drive and onto Zip or CDR/CDRW. When you have a problem, it's only about 20-30 minutes at the most to restore an image and copy all your critical data back to C: and you are back to a fully functional computer. ------------------------------------------ I back up data and image FAITHFULLY. My computer systems are bullet proof. Drive Image will save you much grief, believe me. I have done the format and reinstall thing about 100 times on my various computers over the years. I know it doesn't answer your question, but now may be a good time to get a backup / restore system in place. PS I know MS ME has a restore system, but I don't think it will compete with Drive Image 4: powerquest.com Good luck! Your computer will fail, it's only a matter of time - Cheeky Kid
