The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Error Performing inpage operation; Drive not accessible; SP4 Problem?

Asked by roeperdan in Miscellaneous Hardware

Tags: inpage, error, performing, operation

A desktop computer in our home  has just come up with:" F:\ is not accessible.  Error performing inpage operation."  This computer is not networked and has never been on the Internet.  We do transfer some files back and forth, but I've been updated with McAfee automatically, and I've scanned everything (I know that does not guarantee a lack of a virus, but it's as close as I can get). This is my girlfriend's computer, it hasn't been backed up in a few weeks, and I'll be sleeping in the garage if I botch the data recovery on it. Most of her data consists of images - TIFFs, JPEGs, and Photoshop formats.  

The only tinkering I've done on her machine (and my desktop, which also had a similar crash) is to install Windows 2000 sp4.  I've read a couple of boards that report a similar problem with sp4, although there seemed to be a decent lag (at least a week) betwen installing sp4 & the error.  I've also transferred some of my files onto her computer via a USB flash drive.

Any ideas on reading & repairing the drive?  It makes a consistent, short crunching sound whien I double click on it, and then the error message comes up after about 15 seconds.

I'm very inexperienced in the area of data recovery, so if you have suggestions, please angle them more toward the Beginner end of the spectrum.
