• My computer turns off during an update to windows xp and now windows xp will not load.

  My computer turns off during an update to windows xp and now windows xp will not load.  It gives me the option of last known good configuration and safe mode startup and normal startup, but it just goes back to the loading screen then flashes a blue error screen then back to display boot options.  I don't have a recovery disc as the laptop does not have a CD-ROM drive or a floppy drive.  I have the product key, but I don't know where or how repair the operating system.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Windows XP will not load past the Blue error screen

  Hi, wondering for a while if someone can help me...

  My xp system will not load past the Blue error screen that is displayed when the computer stopped suddenly or inadequate.

  No matter what are the measures that you choose to take (safe mode, the most recent configurations... etc) the system will just beyond the blue screen on the windows logo download page, where the loading bar moves about 10 seconds before returning to the blue loading page.

  So far I have tried to leave the computer as long as an unused months while I was abroad, remove the battery for varying amounts of time and leaving the computer as long as a day.

  In the absence of a recovery disk, I have no idea how to do to return to the form and would like to receive advice or suggest, keeping in mind I'm not a computer genius (if had'nt you may have guessed). Preferably, without losing my element pictures and videos stored on the hard drive, but it's just preference.

  Thank you, Jay

  Hello

  It does not seem good friend if the Windows operating system does not start even using safe mode, then I don t think you will be able to run the operating system without new OS reinstallation. :(

  To back up data from the HARD drive I recommend that you connect the internal HARD drive to external USB HDD controller and a backup of the HARD drive on another computer.

  Then you could try to reinstall the operating system on your laptop using the Toshiba Recovery CD

• Screen on my laptop Windows 8 will not load?

  The home screen on my laptop Windows 8 (Asus) is not at all responsible. The start screen is the page where you have all the applications, and you can customize the background as well giving him different combinations of colors and patterns in different model. My splash screen background color is between clear and dark green. Just as I said, the splash screen does not load. It's been like that since I've been on the phone a few hours ago - this means that none of the app buttons that show the applications load, and when I search apps, nothing will come either. It is only up like green color background, that I mentioned earlier. I'm worried when I go about it tomorrow, I won't be able to go on any of the applications, making me not to go on my laptop at all. What should I do?

  Hi Daniel,.

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft Community forums.

  I understand that the splash screen does not load in your system to Windows 8. However, I would like to know some more information to refine the question and provide you with better assistance.

  1. What exactly happens when nothing loads on the screen? Do you have only a black background or color without any apps?
  2. What is the model No. for your ASUS notebook?
  3. How did you install Windows 8 (a new installation or an upgrade installation)?
  4. You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?

  This issue could be due to various reasons like an incompatible device or a bad installation or because of some corrupted Boot files. If you are unable to boot your system, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

  Method 1:

  To check if this problem is due to a compatibility issue with external devices, I suggest you to disconnect all external devices and check if the problem persists.

  Method 2:

  If you have the disc to install Windows 8 with you, you can insert the installation disc and enter the Windows recovery environment for auto repair. See the following steps:

  (a) when your computer starts, wait for the logo of the manufacturer check the option of start menu, it will usually F12.

  (b) restart the computer, press the Boot menu option key to enter the boot menu and change the option to boot to DVD rom

  (c) Insert the disc of Windows 8 and restart the computer, it will boot to the Windows recovery environment.

  (d) click on Troubleshooting, advanced option and then click on auto repair.

  Method 3:

  If you have a disk to install Windows 8 with you, then I suggest you to perform a verification of the file system. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupt system files that might cause this problem. See the following steps to perform a scan SFC:

  (a) follow the same steps above to enter in the Windows recovery environment.

  (b) click Troubleshooting, then Advanced options , and click command prompt.

  (c) in the command prompt, type the following command: sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER.

  (d) now, to restart the computer.

  (e) check if the problem persists.

  If you are able to start on the screen, then I suggest to try the steps posted by Praseetha K Nair said on November 18, 2012 in the following link:

  Windows 8 start screen and Apps does not

  Warning: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed after this date are deleted.
