Why General Failure Reading Drive A: occurs?

When someone access his floppy disk, he is getting a general failure error. Maybe that the light is coming or not,when you try the command.
                  “ A drive working in windows,but when it come to DOS it is giving a error that General Failure reading drive A:
General failure reading Drive AAbort:: retry:: fail:: ”
Explanation: This happens just with some particular diskette, then it would be the diskette has some non standard format. It can have more then 80 tracks or more then 18 sectors per track. Generally Windows can read such diskette without a problem, but to read it in DOS you need special driver.

But if you can't read any diskette at all, check out CMOS settings for the floppy drive.It might be that the type of the diskette was set incorrect.
Cause:
  • Mainly it cause because of accessing the unformatted disk.
  • If the light is not coming then it might be a problem with your drive/controller.
  • If the Disk is not Formatted or the Diskette is damaged (Problem of Bad Sector) then the error occurs.
  • If the disk is totally damaged then it could occur.
 General Failure in Reading Drive A
Solution:
  • If it is a unformatted disk then u know what u have to do.Yes Format It.
“ I have just format my disk and I am still getting the error. What to do?” – Yes This Can Also Happen.
  1. In this case try running a drive cleaner through the floppy drive.
  2. It is a bad floppy. It might have a bad sector in it and the drive can't read it.
  3. The disk might be damaged.
Why General Failure in Reading drive A
  • If there is any problem of Bad Sector in the diskette then you should transfer the data from the Bad Sector to a Good Sector by using  the NDD(Norton Disk Doctor) Command of the Norton Utility. You can also point out the Bad Sector as bad and make the diskette usable.
  • If the Diskette is not readable then it could be turned into readable by formatting (Formatting will erase its memory) it.

Power coming to monitor without display.

In many cases it happens that there is no display in your computer but power is there.It is a real problem many of us faces.I find solution for it in many where so i want to make a complete solution against (“ No display on monitor ”,  “ Power coming still no display to monitor ”) this.

No Display Monitor It happens also with me.In my case Monitor was taking power in parallel way and because of my PC motherboard was damaged so the display is not coming.Actually there is a problem on FRONT PANNEL CONTROLLER:

Power coming to monitor without displayon the mother board.I have overcome through this problem i have to take my motherboard to a workshop to make the FRONT PANNEL CONNECTORS attached together and from then it is working fine.Any way Lets get back to the topic:

Why there is No Display in Your Monitor?

  • Monitor display and High Voltage section can be Damaged.
  • Display Card can be damaged.
  • Power supply’s power good signal can be disconnected.
  • Monitor’s Brightness control Knob might not be in right position.

 Power coming to monitor without display

  • Ram is not properly set is ram slot/can be damaged.
  • There can be problem on Motherboard.

How to get display in your Monitor?

  • If the Brightness control knob is not in right position then first u have to move the brightness control knob to set it to right position.
  • If the above solving technique couldn’t solve ur problem then it might be problem with your display card.In this case you have to buy a video card(Monochrome/VGA).If it works then the previous card is damaged.
  • If the above techniques doesn’t solve ur problem then check ur monitor by replacing another monitor to it to check whether the monitor is proper or not.If it works then it will be a problem with your monitor.Then you have to open the video section of the monitor and check the parts(Resistance,Diode,Transistor,Capacitor) and if needed u might have to change some parts.
  • In many cases this problem arise due to Ram.If the Ram is not properly set in the RAM  slot,Ram can be damaged.Well in this case first u have to check that Ram is properly set in Ram Slot or not.If it is there then U must have to check the Ram chips.U have to replace the Ram with another Ram to check whether the Ram is fine or not.There can be also problem with ur Ram slot.In this case u must have to put ur Ram to another motherboard to check Ur ram slot is ok or not.If it is the case then u have to replace it.
  • If the above reason’s are not in your case well then u have to open the Add-in-Card:

Power coming to monitor without displayand connect only the video card to see display is coming or not or u can put the video card to any other slot.

  • If any of the above reason is not for ur one then it should be a problem with ur motherboard.So for that u have to connect all of you PC devices to a another motherboard and see it works or not.If it works then u have to check ur motherboard to see where in the motherboard the problem arise.In many cases it happens with FRONT PANNEL CONNECTOR.In ur case it might be something else.

Why computer hangs and how to fix it?

Whenever I start my computer it started well but after sometimes it hanged!!!!!
Computer_hangs
 What are  the reasons behind it?
Ans: 1) You are using a huge amount of  programs with a low capacity of RAM.
         2) Regarding Excessive Heat as u have opened it 5 hours before.
         3) There might be a problem of IC there is a pasting Processor_pasting which keep the IC cool as it passes the heat through the fan.

        


4) Your SMPS might be damaged it can’t the exact power supply what your PC wants.
        5) There might be a problem with your Operating System Software.
How to fix the problem?
Ans: SOFTWARE PROBLEM : 
1) First  if you have open a huge amount of program on a low capacity of RAM then Press Alt+Ctrl+Del.
keyboard
 It will open the windows task manager. It will look like this:
Task_Manager
 Now  after having the task manager you have to end the Task what u don’t want just Right Click on it and
End_Task
Press End Task. After that your computer can come back to normal position.
2) If you did not  solve the issue,go to switch user (for XP) and log off that user, go back to your log on screen and log on again.
The reason the computer hang up is because if there are many open programs and applications, these stays in the memory, if it is too much for the memory to handle, it hangs!!!!! Another reason too the computer hang up is because if you are connected to the internet via dial up, and you are running too many applications and opening many websites. So I advice u that if you are multimedia user or a heavy internet user, then you have to go with at least 512Mb of memory.
3) If all the fans are working properly then there might be a problem with Operating System Software.Then U have to check it and if it happens then u have to reinstall the Operating System CD.
Precautions To Take:
1) Clean your History once in a week Go to tools->Internet Options->Clear History. It will make ur computer to process faster.
2) Delete all internet temporary files.Go to tools –> Internet Options –> Delete Files.
3) Delete all cookies Go to Tools-> Internet Options –> Delete Cookies.
4) Delete unwanted programs Go To Control Panel –> Add/Remove Programs.
5) Make defragmentation of each drive once in a week.Go to any drive (Like C:) –> Properties –> tools –>  defragment now.
HARDWARE PROBLEM :
1) You have to check that the power supply fanSMPS_Fan is working properly or not if it is working properly  then you probably have to open the casing to see that the processer fan is working properly or not.If the is cpu-fan not working properly then you have to change the fan.



If this things doesn’t work then u have to consult with an Hardware Engineer.

Power not comming to Computer but Monitor is on.

What Happens: In this case Monitor is taking
pc repair picpower from Main Power supply unit. Here from the input  point of the power supply unit power is comming by parallel process to the outlet of the monitor.So there is no relation between power to the monitor and to the CPU.Here the input voltage is 220 volt which is comming to the monitor.So the main problem is with the Power Supply Circuit. If the power supply is damaged then the fan will not move.
Cause & Solve:  1) The fuse of the Power Supply Unit can be burned so it should be checked. If it happens then it should be replaced.
2) In the power supply unit you have to look for that no parts(Resistance,Diode,Capacitor) of it has not been burned or not.If something is burned then it should be replaced.
3) If by the above ways the problem is still then you have take help of a Multi Meter/AVO which can measure any parts that you feel not well.If any fault in any parts is detected then should have to be replaced.
4) Even in many cases Dry soldering is needed to solve this.
