  Why you want to reinstall your PC? It could be that you don't need to reinstall Windows, and solutions you could solve, which is recommended.

  However, if you want to reinstall your Windows, it's NOT F8, F8 key belongs to Windows and he'll fix the problems. To reinstall Windows, you must use differently for Dell steps:

  Hello

  There are normally 3 possible reasons of this error you have.

  1 BIOS Boot Oder set to Network Boot: BIOS settings to check the boot order.

  Check the boot sequence, if possible and make sure that HD is set to 1 in the boot order

  2. check the cable connections between the motherboard and the hard disk to ensure that they are not loose

  3. doesn't have a hard drive.

  Test the hard drive.

  Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > search your computer specifications > know brand of hard drive > access the Hard Drive manufacturer's Web site > find and download hard drive Diagnostic software and make a record of start of it on the computer that you use to get here, following their instructions > test your hard drive to see if it has failed.

  And you can also use this method to test your hard drive:

  ------------------------------

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  I hope this helps.

• Advanced boot option

  I have a toshiba laptop, after toshiba logo disapear, I press F8 and nothing happens except a very loud beep.

  I can't access the windows normally self having to open safe mode.

  Thank you

  I already gave you advice on 'beeps '.

  Don't read you?

  If it still "paged" except for the "beep" unique and short after the POST, read this:

  "beep" codes normally indicate a hardware problem / failure.

  Go to your computer manufacturer's website and look at the specifications of your PC to see what BIOS you have

  Then read this on the 'beep' error codes to try to see what failed:

  If you are unable to determine the hardware problem yourself, contact the manufacturer if under warranty.

  If it is not under warranty, find a good repair shop premises to take.

• ProBook 450 G @: ADVANCED STARTUP OPTIONS

  I have to be able to use a program that doesn't have a digitally signed driver.  I used this software on previous machines without problem.  With the new computer by pressing F8 does not get me in an advanced boot menu where I can choose "disable driver signature enforcement".  I've tried BCDedit patches and they no longer have what I read online.  Anyone know how to get into the advanced boot menu?

  I had already tried the F8 button like on previous computers but ony opens a HP screen similar to what you have me sent on Win 8.1.  This interface has no provision for loading unsigned drivers.  I found that after escaping from this interface if I immediately hit the F8 key it would be to raise the black ' advance boot options ' familiar screen.  Thanks for your help.

  Thank you Gary

  Do not follow exactly...

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If your system uses to work properly, what do you think might have happened to her since the last time, that it did not work properly?

  If there is a problem starting, XP is configured to automatically try to start again and you can stuck in a loop not being able to go beyond the screen boot options, or none of these startup options you choose will work only.

  Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

  The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

  If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt

  Enable Boot logging
  Enable VGA mode
  Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
  Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
  Debug mode
  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  Start Windows normally
  Reset
  Return to OS Choices Menu

  You need to choose in this menu is the option:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure
  
  Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

  If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

  If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

  You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

  If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

  Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

  http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

  Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

  Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

  If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

  Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

  Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

• How to determine if advanced startup options enabled

  Hello

  Can I use the command ' bcdedit/set {globalsettings} advancedoptions true' and ' bcdedit/set {globalsettings} advancedoptions false"to enable or disable the boot advanced options to appear every time you start, but once activated, how to determine if advanced startup options enabled?

  Thank you

  No, please download Boot UI Tuner of

  http://winaero.com/download.php?view.46

  Run it, you can see the option "Enable advanced startup options" unchecked, close it.

  Then run CMD as administrator, type the command

  bcdedit /set {globalsettings} advancedoptions true
  

  Run Boot UI Tuner again, you can see the "Enable advanced boot options"
  

  checked, so i think that can get the info about advanced options enabled.
