Gamer 007, I had exactly the same problem. I got to the end of the boot and everything stopped dead as soon as windows was due to load. I did several resets with exactly the same result. I got so mad I pulled the plug out of the wall. I came back 10 minutes later plugged in and started it up. Guess what it booted perfectly! There must have been a bug in the update, has microsoft made any announcements? dAVE.
Edit: Best Of Luck.
It's worth a shot. :lol:
I'll try it. Thanks for the suggestion.
EDIT: No go... :evil: BartPE time to see what the BSOD is.
EDIT 2: In BartPE bootCD OS right now. Looks like my whole hard drive is corrupted! :evil: :bad-words: There goes all my data. Good thing I didn't erase my CD/DVD-RWs w/ my music. Too bad all my Family Guy episodes and James Bond movies are gone.... And all my App backups. And my BOINC Crunch3r stuff.
Well, I've been out of the contest for the last 24h. I reformatted so everythings fresh. I got a program called GetDataBack for NTFS to recover my data. I can say it looks like it works. I just need my dad to give me a 2nd hard drive for a few hours to copy my lost data. :) 1st time I ever needed data recovery after a full format and OS reinstallation.
I'll be back in the race sometime later tonight. My only source of credits so far is my 500 pending credits (last I checked).
You can bring data back even after you reformat the drive?
GetDataBack for NTFS claims it does. It shows all my music and data from before the format. Though I can't tell the integrity of the files. I'll be trying it when my dad gives me a temp. 2nd hard drive.
Guess I'll be wanting to get a permanent 2nd HDD for xmas. :lol: I can't let this happen again all of a sudden.
Is anyone elso getting this message when they try and get work from Primegrid?
13/07/2006 00:20:36|PrimeGrid|Message from server: Daily quota (150) exceeded.
13/07/2006 00:20:36|PrimeGrid|No work from project
:? dAVE.
Yep and on the dual cores when they exceed 300.
Wow... I didn't think that limit would be reached easily.
You're taking between 11 and 12 minutes per workunit so 150 would give you for something between 27 and 30 hours. (roughly calculated)
Did you notice any really short workunits lately?
EDIT: I'm doing a little bit of basic maths here and to be able to break the 150 wu/core/day quota you'd have to crunch them at an average of less than 10 minutes each.
You can partion your one physical hardrive into two logical ones. I used norton partition magic, but there maybe others. You can even make a hidden partion that is invisible to your os and put your most secretive files on it. :twisted:
I used Partition Manager to make 2 parititons. After this experience, I'm seriously considering getting anothe HDD. :lol: This gave me quite a fright since I don't have any backups of my music, videos, etc.
Now back ontopic, I'll be back in the contest in hopefully a few hours. I never reached the threshold either. But there are ways around it. ;) BoincStudio. I'm still fighting with it to get more WUs each scheduler request, since for some reason it likes to contact every 2min to get WUs rather than all in a row.
I think it's becuase PrimeGrid isn't like other BOINC projects. It never obeys my general preferences (ie: always using 2 CPUs for me rather than 1). :?
