Hi everyone,
In 1995, I bought a Compaq Presario 7180, which then
had 8MB RAM and a 1.2 gig hard drive with windows 95
installed. In 1997, we compressed the hard drive for
more disk space. It left our C: drive with 500 mb of
space and a new H: drive with around 2.3 gigs. We
also upgraded the RAM to 40MB.
Last year we bought a 10.1 gig hard drive. We moved
as much as we could from the C: and H: drives unto the
four newer drives, D:, E:, F:, and G:. Now, we have
very little free space on the C: drive, about 50 megs.
When I tried to decompress the C: drive, I received
an error, 'Cannot decompress drive due to errors. run
scandisk.' When I run scandisk, no errors are found.
Then I tried to decompress again and the same error
comes up. I've tried several times to decompress but
it doesn't work. How do we get it to Decompress???
I ran my PC Handyman software to figure out the
problem and got a "Serious Harddrive configuration
error" message too. I suspect that the guys at Best
Buy who installed the 10.1 gig made a boo boo, but
since I couldn't find the sales receipt they wouldn't
help me!! Can anyone give a solution to this problem?
I was once told that upgrading to Win98 would solve
the problem...does this sound right? Help!
TIA,
Renee King
