0211 keyboard error, press F1 to continue

I was running a spybot check & when I got back to laptop it was empty. Nothing worked so I let electricity run out & when restart got the error keyboard 0211 press F1 to continue so I did. When I tried to log in to my user account, nothing happens when I press a key. As a system administrator, I get basically the same result when I think I found the solution yet in a few other places system administrator accepts the password. I am able to use, as usual, other user accounts

  • Smart hard disk error: "Press enter to continue and it starts OK.

    I have run chkdsk full and sometimes without error, but at startup it says Smart hard disk error. Press ENTER to continue and it starts OK

    Go into the BIOS and run the drive Diagnostics (long version).

    Normally, when you get a SMART disk error this means imminent disk failure.  Smart drive test checks the environment of hard disk and is much more than chkdsk thorugh.

    A cautious soul would replace the disc if the diagnostic test is a failure.

    Is your laptop still under warranty?

  • 0211 keyboard error

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas: Hi... pls expand on how to find it:

    • Access the Debug menu by clicking on rw + ff + ch2 buttons when starting.
      Choose 'check fs' and restart your device. You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Here are some ways to know if it is a hardware or a software problem:

    • See if the problem persists when you use an external keyboard (i.e. a USB keyboard)
    • Check what happens when you use the on-screen keyboard. You call it with the command osk.exe.

    If it's a software problem then you should check if it persists when you start mode without failure.

    When I turn on my computer, the stalls of process startup and says '3rd slave drive ATAPI Incompatible press F1 to continue' I press F1 and then esc because I don't know what to do.  When the computer does not start, the only thing that is not working is my CD drive.  It does not read the Cd I already tried the FIX for CD/DVD.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the disk set.  When I restart the computer and let the TI find it on its own, I get the same problem.  I tried a few system restores.  None of this has worked.  I don't know how it happened because some other people use this computer.  Could this be a problem with the plug-and-play functions.  Help please.  I am running Windows XP and have updated all Microsoft Update to see if it helped, it only has done it.

    Hi RachelH_7997,

    You can edit the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) settings or replace the CD/DVD drive and check if the problem persists. If you are not comfortable to run, you can contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.


    Note:

    -Restart and boot into BIOS
    -Disable secureboot and enable legacy initialization
    -Press F10 to save and exit BIOS

    -Restart

    -the system asked me to enter a digit of 4 password and press ENTER to apply the changes

    -done, but I got stuck another MSG: "no boot device, insert the boot disk and press any key.

If the hard drive is not detected reinsert the disc hard try to rerun the test if you have the same hard disk problem that went wrong to replace the drive. Please call HP technical support check for warranty and the part replaced.

    Hi smiley1958,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. When was the last time it was working fine?

    Method 1

    Usually, this would happen if the system basic input/output system (BIOS) settings are incorrect.

    See the link on the Dell forums and try the steps mentioned, check if it helps.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then you will need to contact Dell support to fix the settings in the basic input/output system (BIOS).

    Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    It is extremely unlikely that any computer purchased at a store bought on this planet will have installed XP Recovery Console.

    It is extremely unlikely that any computer purchased at a store bought on this planet will be accompanied by a genuine XP installation CD bootable that can be used to start the XP Recovery Console.

    It's extremely likely that any manufacturer on this planet will send you an installation CD XP genuine for you can start in the Recovery Console.

    It is extremely likely that the majority of the posters on the forums is not any type of bootable XP media.

    It is extremely likely that the majority of the posters on the forums have never actually seen, possessed or otherwise come into contact with an XP bootable installation CD authentic in their lives, or if they already had in their possession, it is now nowhere to be found.

    I wonder why never support engineers offer this idea for the Recovery Console.

    (a) they do not know how
    (b) they are not allowed to post anything that isn't in a KB article
    (c) they are not allowed to post links to any place outside of Microsoft
    (d) your idea here

    You can make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:
