| zeref | hurrrmmm | 18:59 |
| zeref | so a friend of mine decided to compress his harddrive, stopped it half way, rebooted his comp | 19:01 |
| zeref | now on boot up he get BPTFZ is compressed error | 19:02 |
| zeref | (windows 7) anybody heard of this, cant find anything on google | 19:02 |
| Kilos | eish with windows you dont stop anything halfway | 19:03 |
| Kilos | because it can never find its way back again | 19:04 |
| Kilos | tell him to do a recovery | 19:04 |
| Kilos | i dunno if it works same as xp, you boot from cd then go install then get to recovery | 19:05 |
| zeref | he doesnt have a cd :/ | 19:08 |
| Kilos | eish | 19:08 |
| Kilos | is there nothing online about doing a recovery without cd | 19:08 |
| Kilos | oh wait | 19:08 |
| zeref | whats strang is that, is if google "BPTFZ is compressed " | 19:09 |
| Kilos | chkdsk | 19:09 |
| zeref | i dont get any results | 19:09 |
| Kilos | but does it not boot paste that ? | 19:09 |
| Kilos | past\ | 19:09 |
| zeref | nope | 19:09 |
| Kilos | so its stopping halfway in booting | 19:10 |
| Kilos | whew | 19:10 |
| Kilos | where is he | 19:10 |
| Kilos | noone near with a cd? | 19:10 |
| Kilos | there should be a way to boot to command line | 19:11 |
| Kilos | then run chkdsk | 19:11 |
| Kilos | Squirm, see if you can find something about running chkdsk when booting | 19:12 |
| Squirm | you'd have to have a bootdisk | 19:13 |
| Squirm | or take out the hdd and plug it into another pc, then run chkdsk from there | 19:13 |
| Kilos | doesnt it even get to safemode before booting | 19:14 |
| zeref | i put an ubuntu cd to see what was on his drive, there is a file called BPTFZ there, i thought about deleting it.... | 19:14 |
| Squirm | zeref: have you tried safe mode? though to me it sounds like nothing would work | 19:14 |
| Kilos | in safemode you should be able to get to command prompt and do chkdsk | 19:14 |
| zeref | Squirm: does not even get that far | 19:14 |
| Squirm | if I think of a half compressed drive, I wouldn't believe any OS would run. | 19:15 |
| Kilos | hmm | 19:15 |
| Squirm | zeref: you're going to have to find windows, a boot cd or slave the hdd in another machine | 19:15 |
| Kilos | doesnt hitting f8 or 10 or space or something while booting get you to command line | 19:15 |
| Squirm | Kilos: even if he got there, I still think it wouldn't work. I don't think windows would run off a half compressed drive | 19:16 |
| zeref | i told him to find a win cd, it's on a lappy | 19:16 |
| Squirm | if it's a new lappy, it's easy enough to take it out. the sata connections are the same as a desktops | 19:17 |
| Kilos | eish | 19:17 |
| zeref | lappy > 4 yrs | 19:17 |
| Squirm | hmm | 19:18 |
| zeref | but Squirm, ever heard of BPTFZ? | 19:18 |
| Kilos | give him a buntu cd and tell him install | 19:18 |
| Squirm | zeref: nope | 19:18 |
| zeref | lol | 19:19 |
| Kilos | with ubuntu alongside you can move all the important data off | 19:20 |
| zeref | ummm, he doesnt want to fiddle with computers | 19:20 |
| zeref | sooo buntu might not be the best option | 19:21 |
| Squirm | zeref: I know you probably have checked. but are you sure it's BPTFZ? | 19:21 |
| Squirm | cause like you said. I can't find anything on it | 19:21 |
| zeref | yeap, checked 3 times just to make sure as well | 19:21 |
| Kilos | then noly way is to slave it by a friend and run chkdsk or get a cd and recover or reinstall | 19:22 |
| Kilos | or take to pc shop and pay | 19:22 |
| Kilos | they arent cheap either | 19:22 |
| Squirm | a windows repair might do the trick | 19:23 |
| Kilos | with? | 19:23 |
| Squirm | though I think you need to somehow start the compression from where it left off | 19:23 |
| Squirm | Kilos: he can't do anything until he finds a cd | 19:23 |
| Kilos | where is he | 19:24 |
| zeref | Squirm: when i booted of ubuntu to check the contents of his drive, there was a small file called BPTFZ | 19:24 |
| zeref | delete it? | 19:24 |
| Kilos | delete it | 19:24 |
| Kilos | lol | 19:24 |
| Squirm | umm | 19:24 |
| Squirm | backup | 19:24 |
| zeref | Kilos: same res. | 19:25 |
| Squirm | so if it makes things worse, you can put it back | 19:25 |
| Kilos | there must be someone there with a cd | 19:25 |
| Kilos | them big places with lotsa peeps | 19:25 |
| zeref | Kilos: he is asking around, said he'll get back to me when he finds one. | 19:25 |
| Kilos | good | 19:25 |
| zeref | most peeps have xp cd's :/ | 19:26 |
| Kilos | there is lots online about win7 not booting and how to repair | 19:26 |
| Squirm | zeref: res net? | 19:26 |
| Squirm | Kilos: but is there anything on having a half compressed drive? | 19:26 |
| zeref | Squirm: | 19:27 |
| zeref | ? | 19:27 |
| Kilos | cant member seeing anything like that | 19:27 |
| Squirm | zeref: download it off res net? | 19:27 |
| zeref | oh, we dont have that | 19:27 |
| zeref | asked the res manager if we could create one, said no :/ | 19:28 |
| Kilos | eish peeps are so helpful | 19:28 |
| Kilos | methinks best moves are repair recovery or install to same drive again once you got a cd | 19:29 |
| Kilos | normally when you install to same place it keeps whatever extras you had | 19:30 |
| zeref | yep, i think thats the best option. so will wait.... | 19:30 |
| Kilos | night guys. sleep warm | 19:31 |
| zeref | ciao Kilos | 19:31 |
| Kilos | sorrywe cant help zeref | 19:31 |
| Kilos | nag nuvolari lekker aslaap | 19:31 |
| Squirm | I think you're going to have a problem | 19:32 |
| zeref | ? | 19:32 |
| Squirm | I know backing up is a schlep, I probably also wouldn't do it. but I have absolutely no idea how a repair would work out | 19:32 |
| zeref | hmm, he did say he would do a fresh install, if it came to that, since he does not anything important on the drive | 19:34 |
| zeref | *have | 19:34 |
| Squirm | if a repair fails, I can't see another way | 19:35 |
| Squirm | well, good luck. let me know how it turns out, I'm curious | 19:44 |
| Squirm | gnight | 19:44 |
