Title: Hard Drive ("Program not found")
Post by: LostMoogle on October 28, 2004, 07:52:13 PM

Below is the message i get when I double click my harddrive:

Program not found


Windows cannot find cdstart.exe.

This program is need for opening files of file type 'File'.

Type in the executable file to be used instead:
(typeable box goes here)

(Buttons) OK   Cancel    Browse



When I right click my harddrive, istead of open, it says Autoplay in bold. Then the other commands like Open and Explore. I can still access all of my hard drive. Anyone know what could be buggy?

When did your problem first occur?

Scan for viruses, spyware and Trojan Horses.

The problem occurs when you click on your Hard Disk Drive icon? (Physical drive 0, I take it?)

Have you removed the viruses?

Yes, Phsyical Drive 0

I didnt delete the virus. I cleaned the files that it had infected. Ive scan many times and removes the spyware ans trojans.

But the virus is still present? I suggest you scan in safemode with up to date virus definitions.

What Operating System are you using?

You may wish to try the Repair option (Boot using the Windows XP CD) if the problem persists.
