[04:31] * Symmetria spends some sicko amount of money on some adobe software [05:51] hi [06:16] morning all [17:26] hmm where ubuntulog came from [17:27] is it a logbot kinda thing [17:27] oh ya [17:29] could be Freenodes logging [17:29] no, nevermind :P [17:31] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com [17:39] Kilos: I will do my best [17:39] ty superfly [17:39] hi tempodivalse [17:50] Kilos: much luck with that broadband thing? === smile is now known as Guest16052 === Guest16052 is now known as smile_ === smile_ is now known as smile [17:55] hi smile [17:56] hi :) [17:56] brb [18:16] Kilos: wb :) [18:16] ty smile [18:17] yw :) [18:17] * smile is happy [18:25] why smile ? [18:26] you are always happy [18:26] Kilos: I went to see my gf :) [18:26] ah [18:27] Kilos: she was very cute ;) [18:27] :) [18:27] lol [18:27] young love [18:27] yeah :) [18:28] Kilos: French kiss! :D [18:31] you a naughty boy [18:31] lol :) [18:31] Kilos: you got me :o [18:32] bye, have to go [18:32] good night :) [18:59] hurrrmmm [19:01] so a friend of mine decided to compress his harddrive, stopped it half way, rebooted his comp [19:02] now on boot up he get BPTFZ is compressed error [19:02] (windows 7) anybody heard of this, cant find anything on google [19:03] eish with windows you dont stop anything halfway [19:04] because it can never find its way back again [19:04] tell him to do a recovery [19:05] i dunno if it works same as xp, you boot from cd then go install then get to recovery [19:08] he doesnt have a cd :/ [19:08] eish [19:08] is there nothing online about doing a recovery without cd [19:08] oh wait [19:09] whats strang is that, is if google "BPTFZ is compressed " [19:09] chkdsk [19:09] i dont get any results [19:09] but does it not boot paste that ? [19:09] past\ [19:09] nope [19:10] so its stopping halfway in booting [19:10] whew [19:10] where is he [19:10] noone near with a cd? [19:11] there should be a way to boot to command line [19:11] then run chkdsk [19:12] Squirm, see if you can find something about running chkdsk when booting [19:13] you'd have to have a bootdisk [19:13] or take out the hdd and plug it into another pc, then run chkdsk from there [19:14] doesnt it even get to safemode before booting [19:14] 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] zeref: have you tried safe mode? though to me it sounds like nothing would work [19:14] in safemode you should be able to get to command prompt and do chkdsk [19:14] Squirm: does not even get that far [19:15] if I think of a half compressed drive, I wouldn't believe any OS would run. [19:15] hmm [19:15] zeref: you're going to have to find windows, a boot cd or slave the hdd in another machine [19:15] doesnt hitting f8 or 10 or space or something while booting get you to command line [19:16] 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] i told him to find a win cd, it's on a lappy [19:17] 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] eish [19:17] lappy > 4 yrs [19:18] hmm [19:18] but Squirm, ever heard of BPTFZ? [19:18] give him a buntu cd and tell him install [19:18] zeref: nope [19:19] lol [19:20] with ubuntu alongside you can move all the important data off [19:20] ummm, he doesnt want to fiddle with computers [19:21] sooo buntu might not be the best option [19:21] zeref: I know you probably have checked. but are you sure it's BPTFZ? [19:21] cause like you said. I can't find anything on it [19:21] yeap, checked 3 times just to make sure as well [19:22] then noly way is to slave it by a friend and run chkdsk or get a cd and recover or reinstall [19:22] or take to pc shop and pay [19:22] they arent cheap either [19:23] a windows repair might do the trick [19:23] with? [19:23] though I think you need to somehow start the compression from where it left off [19:23] Kilos: he can't do anything until he finds a cd [19:24] where is he [19:24] Squirm: when i booted of ubuntu to check the contents of his drive, there was a small file called BPTFZ [19:24] delete it? [19:24] delete it [19:24] lol [19:24] umm [19:24] backup [19:25] Kilos: same res. [19:25] so if it makes things worse, you can put it back [19:25] there must be someone there with a cd [19:25] them big places with lotsa peeps [19:25] Kilos: he is asking around, said he'll get back to me when he finds one. [19:25] good [19:26] most peeps have xp cd's :/ [19:26] there is lots online about win7 not booting and how to repair [19:26] zeref: res net? [19:26] Kilos: but is there anything on having a half compressed drive? [19:27] Squirm: [19:27] ? [19:27] cant member seeing anything like that [19:27] zeref: download it off res net? [19:27] oh, we dont have that [19:28] asked the res manager if we could create one, said no :/ [19:28] eish peeps are so helpful [19:29] methinks best moves are repair recovery or install to same drive again once you got a cd [19:30] normally when you install to same place it keeps whatever extras you had [19:30] yep, i think thats the best option. so will wait.... [19:31] night guys. sleep warm [19:31] ciao Kilos [19:31] sorrywe cant help zeref [19:31] nag nuvolari lekker aslaap [19:32] I think you're going to have a problem [19:32] ? [19:32] 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 [19:34] 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] *have [19:35] if a repair fails, I can't see another way [19:44] well, good luck. let me know how it turns out, I'm curious [19:44] gnight === tempodivalse is now known as tempodivalse|afk === tempodivalse|afk is now known as tempodivalse === Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za
