moh.vze.com Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Well, yesterday I went into add/remove programs and removed Service Pack 2. After it was removed, I rebooted my computer. There were a lot of random errors when I booted up. I even loss my internet connection. I'm assuming it's because when I uninstalled service pack 2, it removed all of my drivers or something? I know it messed up my Evga 8800 640 MB video card. I need to find a download somewhere for the drivers install because I've loss my cd. Anyways, onto more problems... I had a 500 GB maxtor harddrive as my F drive on there and now it doesn't seem to be detecting it. What's going on? It asks me if I want to format it when I click on it... My C drive (Raptor HD) is fine though. Did I lose all of my files on the 500 GB drive? Also, because I cannot connect onto the internet, I tried downloading SP2 onto my usb drive and when I tried to install it, it kept getting stuck at the step where it's checking to see if I have enough space on the drive. Another problem... I tried to put in my AT&T cd that is suppose to install drivers so that I can have my internet connected and I kept getting an error during the "system requirement check". It crashes and gives me some workshop.exe error. Oh my goodness what should I do? The bottom line is, did I lose my files on the 500 gb drive?

WickeD Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 I doubt you lost your files. If it was me i would back up any important files on c:/ and reformat. Quote
BassJunkie Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 You're running two seperate hdd's? I doubt you lost any of your files, uninstallation of sp2 shouldn't do such a thing unless by some odd coincidence your hard drive died which I highly doubt happened. Have you tried restoring your pc to like a few days before you did the uninstallation? If that doesn't work I would back up and reformat. May I ask why you deleted service pack 2?

EricM9104 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Run a chkdsk on both your drives. Not sure on the commands though.... Here's a link to MS though about the chkdsk commands. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 Quote 2015 Honda Civic LX 4dr | 110k miles | Stock 1996 GMC Yukon SLT 4dr 4wd | 260k miles | JVC Head-unit

moh.vze.com Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Posted January 17, 2008 I had a bunch of proxies on a certain port that I wanted to use, so I tried to uninstall sp2 so that I can use sp1 for a few weeks to do some of my own stuff. So, I have to reformat my C drive huh? I guess I'll need to buy an external hd so I can back up them files. I still don't understand why my system doesn't detect my 500 GB drive. Is there a way I can make sure their are still files on there?

I have 2 computers and both screwed up when I uninstalled Service Pack 2. The older one doesn't get pass the windows xp loading screen unless I run it in safe mode.
