Hi,

Open NOTEPAD.exe and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

@ECHO OFF
START remover.exe fix \\.\PhysicalDrive0
EXIT

Save this as fix.bat Choose to "Save type as - All Files"
It should look like this:
Double click on fix.bat & allow it to run

Please post back and tell me what it says.

windows cannot find 'remover.exe' make sure you typed name correctly i tried it a couple time keep getting that error.

Hi,

Did you save Remover.exe to your desktop?

If not, please save it to your desktop and run the fix again.

yes it has a shortcut on desktop

Hi,

Please move the actual file to the desktop and delete the shortcut, as that is why it is having trouble running the fix.

i do a search for the fixbat and if i try to drag it to desktop it says it is already there if i delete what is on the desktop it cant be found at all in search. I followed your instruction on how to save the file and the icon looks like the one you have in your post. Im not sure how im supposed to move the file.

Hi,

Just copy and paste remover.exe to the desktop.

so i open note pad and copy paste then try to paste crtl v right on desktop?

Hi,

Yes, or you can right click copy and paste.

paste is greyed out. Crtl v doesnt do anything
