A reinstall of Windows SP3 will set my automatic boot DVD-ROM failure?

My two readers of DVD - ROM have stopped start automatic on both drives to install program and records of music & video.  I tried to change the registry by a patch of Microsoft article, but the problem is still there.  Another program I have installed in the past may have somehow missed upward.  I suspect that the reinstallation of Windows SP3 may solve the problem.  However, because SP3 came out years ago, we have a LOT of Windows security updates.  My question is this.  Could adversely affect anything on my system to try simply re-run the exe to install SP3 which I just downloaded from Microsoft?  If this seems a feasible idea, I'd lose all these dozens and dozens of Windows security updates that I downloaded via Windows update since two years ago first SP3 installed, or if it is not serious?

Hello

You will not be able to reinstall SP3, unless uninstall you it. Re-install it will not be very useful, you can try running sfc (click Start-> Run Type & -> sfc / scannow-> ok) it will take your XP disc.

You can try to turn autorun by: open my computer-> right click CD/DVD Drive-> Autorun. You can also try the method of register on the Microsoft Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330135

I hope this helps.

  • Windows xp pro sp3 will not start corrupted boot.ini and hal.dll - please help

    I installed Norton 360 offred via internet was last updated.  It immediately launched all applications previously disabled at STARTUP in msconfig.  And shortly after he started to gives me the blue screen "to the death".  This done in two days, and I was desperately trying to solve the problem by turning off almost all applications critical to running Windows XP Pro SP3, Norton and Office 2007 Home and student.  I even went and tried to edit the Boot.ini file in startup and recovery under the Advanced tab in the workstation properties.  Now all I get is an error message Windows cannot start because the hal.dll file is missing or damaged.  I replaced it by copying a modified version of the boot sequence, while the hard drive of my laptop was enslaved to my desktp PC, but nothing helped.  I can't even the Recovery Console to start on my laptop.  I need HELP, please.

    These profile errors are usually caused by one of the following:

    1-profile corruption.  The user profile is damaged and that Windows cannot load.  To resolve this issue, create a new user profile and move your files to the new profile.   See here for more information:

    2 drives or corruption of the file system.  Run chkdks /f on the volume C:.  Please note that there is ALWAYS a risk of data loss when chkdsk is run on a volume, ideally, you should have a backup of your files before running chkdsk.

    3 - virus or malware activity.  Some of these parasites can revoke your permissions on the folder of your profile, check the permissions on "C:\Documents and Settings\Andre" and make sure you have a full control on the folder.  Check this box until you try #1 or 2 above.

    Some of these parasites can also revoke your permissions in key areas of the registry and create real Dany on the machine that can prevent you to run some of your software.  Use Regedit to load your old profile hive (NTUSER.

  • Windows 8 will support external drives to dvd of windows 7.

    I love windows 8 and surface pro and I already have a usb for surface pro hub and I was wondering if I could easily connect a windows 7 external dvd drive with windows 8 installed. And also I will have to get a usb 3.0 hub because my hub usb is only 2.0 because I am pro surface.

    Hello

    1. What is the brand and model of the external DVD drive?

    Almost all feature works great on Windows 8 preview version, which were already working on the Windows 7 operating system.

    Verify that the device is compatible with Windows 8 from the following link:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/compatibility/en-us/CompatCenter/FAQ

    Yes, you will have a USB 3.0 port on the Surface Pro.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Windows 8 will not mistake The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.

    Yesterday, I downloaded Windows 8, and although using it was confusing I got the hang of it. Today, I used the computer again and everything was fine but then I stopped him and a few hours later, when I turned it on a blue screen appeared and he says:

    Recovery
    Your PC needs to be repaired
    The Boot Configuration data file is missing some information required.
    Leader: \Boot\0xc000000d
    OT: After victory. Download 8 it won't launch
    I have no idea what is happening or how to fix it. Any help to help me understand and solve this problem would be appreciated.

    Met the same question from one day to the other - re install Win 8< week="" old="" decided="" to="" misbehave="" on="" a="" reboot.="" nothing="" untoward="">

    In any case discovered that the automatic startup repair is less useless for me. He could not fix anything whatsoever after the diagnosis and just gave up.

    However, resort to repair (start your windows installation CD) command line prompt, I managed to solve it with the command of the ffg on the command line.

    Bootrec /rebuildbcd

    More info about bootrec available using your favorite search engine.

    http://superuser.com/questions/451277/missing-boot-files-in-Windows-8

    For users in previous posts with problems and have only a version downloaded to Win 8 - well I'd say that you yourself create a DVD of the version uploaded to win 8 - the installation program ask you if you want to create media - that will create a 4.x GB. ISO file that you can burn to DVD. There is enough information on how to do this just search online.

    With regard to creating a way to initiate Win8 installer from USB Eh well I heard the ffg tool works with Win 8 too but cannot vouch for her since have never tried so its at your own risk.

  • Windows 8 will not start, automatic repair does not solve anything.

    If the installation of Windows 8 FINALLY worked, thanks to technical support. However, he would not read my CD driver NVidia GPU, so I rebooted the PC. Now it does not start even upward. He tries and fails twice before saying that auto repair failed. And I still can't get.

    After installing an update of the bios recommended on the hp website my dv6131od running xp pro sp3 will not load windows

    Update does not seem to have problems - failure, lack of time for flash, backup, etc.

    boot sequence seems normal (finds it a bootable cd in the drive, etc.), but windows won't load in safe or other mode

    next steps?  is there a way to access the BIOS?

    Thank you

    There is a simple solution to this problem.  The HP Online Crash Analysis Team has finally responded to my email after 34 days.  I had given up hearing from them despite several requests to repeat.

    I had completely disassembled the laptop trying to find the bios setting the jumpers on the motherboard in response to an idea contained in one of the PM, I sent... all to nothing does not...

    OCAT told me to look in the BIOS under "system configuration" for the Native SATA support.  The last update of the BIOS resets this point 'activated', but that only works for Vista & Win 7.  This must be set to "disabled" for XP and previous operating system.

    I hope that this post will save someone having to wait 5 weeks invest hours of work for a solution that took 3 minutes!

    The release date of Windows 8 has not made public. However, given that it is still at stage overview of the pre-beta developer I guess he'll be significantly after April 2012.

  • I will be able to reinstall my windows if necessary after the end of support for Windows 7?

    Original title: windows supports

    Last year, I bought Windows7 Home Premium and it works well so far. My question is after January 2020 (after the end of support) I will be able to reinstall my windows if neede? Also if there is no microsoft activation problem help me right here? Also even if the support of the application ends with its suppliers I will be able to download mse, it's to say & essentials of windows from the microsoft Web site myself since the automatic update is not available? or I'll be forced to buy Windows 8, 9, 10 or 11 at this time? Sorry people I know that this issue is too early and not be worried right now but I love windows 7 and I want to run for life so is this possible? Thanks in advance.

    1. Yes, you will be able to reinstall Win7 using the disks provided with your computer, the rescue disks, you have created and/or the hidden restore partition.

    2. where support for Win7 purposes, take in charge ends (for example, activation problems).

    3. There will come a time where the current version of Windows (Live) Essentials is not supported in Win7 - even if your currently installed version of Windows Essentials may continue to be supported for some time.

    4. by the time for purposes of Win7 support, chances are THAT MSE is no longer supported.

    5. No, you don't will be not "forced to buy" a new version of Windows (assuming that Microsoft is still for sale).
