Hi,

A few days ago I found a new partition PQSERVICE in my HDD on my gateway desktop PC (Model LX6200-01), I understand

it´s a factory default recovery system, so here´s the question.

1. If I delete it, will it cause any adverse affects to my computer?

I have the GATEWAY recovery disks and in the last few days I get a ntdll.dll error. I've already got 3 recovery disks of GATEWAY but every time I tried to recover the system I get that error (ntdll.dll) and I have to cancel it.

The software was working great just for a little while but now it sucks!

Thanks in advance.

After checking CMD.

Software Error.

I would like to learn more about PQSERVICE!

2. Can it cause my HDD any problems?

3. If it does, what can I do to prevent/solve it?

Maybe the PQSERVICE that you were able to find is for the drivers used on your machine and doesn’t concern with the status of your hard drive.

Although your hard drive is attached to the internals of your computer, it is a separate device that doesn’t require special application or program to work.

It’s possible that the PQSERVICE that your computer has is for the drivers of your computer’s motherboard. If the PQSERVICE is saved in your hard drive, maybe you can also find it in the CD that comes with your computer, if it is indeed comes with a disk.

If you find some anomalies in your Windows’ system files which the System File Checker or SFC was unable to fix, reinstalling Windows might be the only remedy. This means that you need to format your hard drive and then install Windows again.
