Taine Posted February 7, 2014 CID Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hello all, First I tried the vanburens generated cablenut tweak file based on my mtu, latency etc. I backed up registry first. The setting did not seem to make a difference so i tried to restore my registry. It did not work, said there were missing settings or something like that. Then i tried one of the premade setting files in, version 9, cable dsl, mtu 1500. I backed up the registry, put in the settings then rebooted... to a black screen and a mouse cursor. Resetting did nothing, turned off pc. Turned it on again and the boot started and went to the black screen again... Booting into safe mode also got to black screen with mouse... What can i do??? I appreciate any advice or help given! Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted February 7, 2014 CID Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hi Taine, I do not see where you have run any speed tests as of yet, are you able to accomplish this ? The tweaks you mention should not produce any of the effects you are explaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriRan Posted February 7, 2014 CID Share Posted February 7, 2014 I suppose it could have backed up the full registry well regardless if you have a windows cd you should be able to rebuild your registry also you could try booting to safe mode see if that works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taine Posted February 7, 2014 Author CID Share Posted February 7, 2014 mudmanc4 - i ran speed tests before and after the first tweak, then not being to get into windows i couldn't of course TriRan - ok thanks i can try using my windows cd when i am able.

Please do not take this as agressive , however, I stand by my initial assessment that Van Burens cablenut tweaks could not and would not have caused these type of issues with your HDD's. If you have the ability to show actual HDD assesment through one of the many resources , so that we can determin or at the least analyse your issue , and attempt to assess the issue , this would be greatly appreciated. Have you any tools to show hard drive health ? If you ned advice in this area we are sure to assist in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taine Posted February 10, 2014 Author CID Share Posted February 10, 2014 And you were right. Finding that there is a problem with my boot HD backs this up. i wasn't blaming anyone for anything just looking for help and giving information to find out what happened. Thanks for your offer of further assistance, I won't hesitate to post if I run into problems. mudmanc4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taine Posted February 11, 2014 Author CID Share Posted February 11, 2014 After attempting recovery and finding it would not be possible i was resolved to doing a windows reinstall. Suspecting that the HD was failing (due to the odd failure of the registry backup file and the fact that the HD is old) i did a chkdsk. The message I received from chkdsk (sorry i cannot remember it) was found via internet searches to mean trouble. I decided to replaceéupgrade the old HD and am waiting for it to arrive. Fingers crossed it will be in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
