• HP G60 laptop boots HP logo, and then recycles - Windows 7

  I just installed a new keyboard on my laptop G60 running Windows 7 Enterprise Edition. before putting the screws in the battery compartment area, I replaced the battery and turned on my laptop unpluggced to see if the new keyboard work. Everything worked perfectly.

  So I closed the lid of my laptop, removed the battery, put the screws, replace the battery and press the power button, now my laptop boots as much as the HP logo, with the option to press ESC to the Start Menu, then the screen goes black and travels to the HP logo. This cycles goes and indefinitely. I am able to access the Start Menu. I removed the new keyboard and tried to start it again - same thing. I then tried using my old keyboard to see if that makes a difference - no change.

  Any advice? Thank you.

  Hi - I tried that after I posted this question, and it turned out to be a previously installed update that was causing the problem. I had to restore my system to a previous date before the update was installed, and this has solved the problem. Thank you!

• EliteBook: can I use a boot cd on a portable computer with disk encryption?

  Windows is sprinkled on a laptop with disc encryption.  Is there a way I can use a boot cd to access the drive?  I want to get some files off it first.

  Ok.

  Then the simplest solition would be to remove the hard drive, put in a drive enclosure hard or on a USB to SATA connector.

  Now you can plug it into a usb port of another Windows PC or laptop to your business.

  Use Windows Explorer to access the disk. When the encryption key is requested, type it in.

  Hello Leonr931,

  I would still recommend to contact the computer manufacturer for assistance in obtaining their process of system restore.

  This may require a set of disks and they can cost a small fee.

  In addition, they will be able to help you with the physical errors on the machine.

  Best regards

  Reformatting a hard drive should be considered a last resort to solve a problem with a computer system.

• Using dual-boot provided drive recovery XP on Portege R500 - 11 c

  I have a new Portege R500 - 11 c that came with Vista Business installed, but has also a recovery disk XP Pro as a Vista recovery disk. Also, the laptop came with a partitioned hard drive.

  I would use the XP Recovery disk to install XP on the 2nd partition (drive E), without deleting Vista, while I have a dual-boot machine. Anyone know if this is possible, perhaps using the expert mode and standard?

  Hello Elanor

  Just a short comment to this:

  > When I asked Toshiba support if I could use these discs to a machine with dual-boot, they said no, that the XP > recovery disk would erase the Vista installation - but the posts here think otherwise!

  I don't know on which positions you think, but I'm also sure that you can not use two DVD recovery with different operating systems to install two operating systems and dual-boot. Unfortunately I do not have the opportunity to test this, but as far as I know, you can not install recovery image on disk unallocated space.

  Just for example: If you are using Vista recovery DVDs and install the OS on the new partition using the CONFIGURATION option (for example, you can take 50% of the capacity of the HARD disk) by using recovery second DVD (WXP) you will not be able to choose as favorite place second partition to install Windows XP Home edition. You can just do the same as with the Vista recovery image.

  For the recovery of laptops old menu was different and using the expert mode, it is possible to choose an already existing partition for the installation of the OS.

  If you have time please test and give some feedback. It can be very useful for al of us info.

• Used to boot Windows - does not recognize the hard drive

  Hello. I had my computer laptop vostro dell for 5 years, and I've never had a problem. A few weeks ago, I was starting, and I got the blue screen of death. I had the same thing when I rebooted. I bought a SATA dock for recover my files, so I could format it and start from scratch. However, the dock does not detect my HARD drive, although I hear the disc running. I tried to connect a Dell Latitude docking station to transfer the files, but the Latitude does not recognize my HDD ether. Vostro runs XP Home Edition and Zorin OS, Latitude anime XP Pro. HHD in question is a 120 GB Western Digital Scorpio for drinking devices. Help, please.

  You boot from the disk and choose "Try without Unbuntu and change to your computer"?. Honestly, it looks that you have installed. In addition, using raid with Windows Xp support?

  If you have chosen to 'Try' Unbuntu I recommend now you run chkdsk /r from the recovery console. The problem is not with the hard drive probably, but with the file system.

  Download WIndows Xp Recovery Console from HERE. Save the file to your desktop. You will need to burn the iso image to a blank cd using the same way you did to the image ISO of Unbuntu ImgBurn. Although the instructions below refer to a Windows disk, the disk from the Recovery Console that you create will do the same.

  1. Insert the Windows XP CD in your CD-ROM drive and restart your computer. If you are prompted, select any options needed to start (boot) on the CD.
    
  2. when the text portion of Setup begins, follow the prompts. Select the repair or recovery option by pressing R.
    
  3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
    
  4. When you are prompted, type the administrator password. If you have not set a password for the account admin simply press on enter
    
  5. at the command prompt, type chkdsk/r > press ENTER. (Note: there is a space between the slash and the letter k).
    
  6. at the end of the output of scan type > press ENTER.
    
  7 restart your computer.

• I bought a used laptop with a version of Win7 OEM and license will not authenticate.

  Hi, I believe that the seller must have used a version of Win7 OEM upgrade but wiped the original OS from the laptop.  I've been going round in circles with the supplier for weeks now nothing does.  They want to send back me the phone so that they can "Watch".

• Laptop HP model red Flyer 15-f: windows, used laptop model 10 15-f272wm

  I am a novice with this topic, pc and tech stuff more, so forgive me if I'm doing this wrong. I bought a used HP laptop, or is it now called "specifications"? Connected, wifi came on no problem. I don't have any book or document info. No doubt cause renovated. So I get on the blue HP screen and he wants a name and a password before anything else. I filled. I tried to scroll down, would not go. Tried "enter" and back and almost all of the keys when it froze on HP connection. Using a Vista to send this message. I don't think that I'm locked in question cannot open a session. If anyone can tell me what a simple gesture to continue set up? Is it possible such as "enter button is damaged?  Is there a "next" in a box I have, this is down low on the screen? So how do the page to scroll down? Any help appreciated. Don't even know if it has a warranty. Usually a consumer except for mecahnical pc and internet. Apreciate if there is an answer.

  Spoiler (Highlight to read)

  If the laptop / notebook is refurbished, peux I guess you don't have any data user or user profile on this system yet?

  If the answer is no, then try the following:

  Turn on/off the laptop, as the POST of HP blue screen appears, press the "F11" on the keyboard several times. (You will have to perhaps put off the system by holding button power for 5 seconds and try again if you don't get the first screen).

  This takes you to the HP System Recovery screen. If this does not work some systems we key "ESC" in the top left corner of the keyboard instead.

  Once you enter HP System Recovery, you should be able to follow the instructions to make a complete system factory restore. Please note: this will remove all data and profiles of user of the laptop, including the user profile that you can not connect, as you seem to have the right username and password available.

  This process will take about 1 to 2 hours, so be patient.

  Here is a link to a site of HP that explains exactly how to run Factory Restore:

  http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c02638587

  Once the system restore is performed, and it puts, it should take you back to the 'Out of Box Experience"or OOBE for short.  This will take you through the implementation of the system with your own profile of user and installation of drivers and software from the factory for the first time.

  Usually the OOBE takes about 20 ~ 30 minutes in windows 10.

  When you get to the screen asking you to create a Microsoft Account to connect with, you can create a new Microsoft Account If you wish, or use an existing one.

  If you don't have any internet connection and make it 'offline' then I would suggest that you choose the option "Next" without fill in a user name and password. The next screen will ask you if you want to create one "offline User Account" is a great idea if the system will not be connected to the internet permanently, for example, if you use a mobile device to broadband as your mobile phone to provide internet, instead of a system always activated as ADSL via wifi.

  If you get stuck, the message comes back with the details and I will answer when I can.
