Error 1005 problem - Office Equipment & Supplies

Error 1005 is an error with the disc rather your disc is scratched or just smudged it needs to be cleared.

There are a few ways to go about this.

You can manually clear it with some disc cleaner spray and a soft cloth that won't leave lint on the disc.

You can also go to a professional disc cleaner. I have a movie rental store in town that has a disc cleaner which removes a very very thin layer off the disc to remove the scratches. (Don't worry the data on the disc will not be erased in this process.) Warning if you attempt a professional disc cleaner many times the disc will not be readable. Try to keep the disc in a safe place where it can not be damaged.

You can also call the manufacturers and have then send you a new recovery disc or send you one in the first place to perform a full system recovery (Factory Recovery)

Lastly you will also get this error if you are trying to make a recovery disc and did not user a (plus) DVD+R disc.

Now I am new to this error as well but I cleaned my disc manually and tried again after searching a solution and coming here. After cleaning my disc I have successfully recovered my computer to it's factory state.


Words of advice:
Get a good Virus-protection (I use Kaspersky virus protection it is updated daily and is a very good system)
Do a system defragment monthly you can set this up by using the scheduled task app in Windows
Complete a Desktop Clean up monthly
Make sure that you organize things in folders so you know where they are. The search feature in Windows in a powerful tool but can be lethal if you delete something needed by the system by accident.
Watch out for bad sites. Firefox will tell you if you are in a really bad site. Also Internet Explorer 8 is an awesome tool to.
Make sure you update, update, update your windows OS Computer.
Try to stay up-to-date on all new software for your virus protection


Guys let me reiterate on one thing watch out for bad sites if you haven't been there before and your not sure if you trust the site don't go. Myspace layout sites are the main source of where I obtain alot of the spyware and virus that infection my system.
