• automatic repair of Windows 8 could not repair your pc

  I recently bought a new 3 TB hard drive for my computer to add to my system. I installed without a problem and has used the software that came with the drive. For reference, I added a Seagate SATA drive 3TO. I cloned my original 2 TB drive on my new drive because I want to use it as my main drive for windows. No problems showed up after it was complete. My records all use MBR and I have very little experience in creating the partitions. I have partitioned my drive and was designed to use the extra space after the 2 TB limit has been reached.

  In all cases after a few days I decided to perform a new installation of windows and my recovery disk that put back me in windows 7. My recovery partition is set for windows 7 and I started the migration to windows 8. After completing the installation of Windows 8-re, I ran the seagate software to allow me to use the extra space on my HARD drive but after restarting my computer finds the option of automatic startup and recovery States that he is unable to fix the pc.

  I tried a few different options to no effect but my attempt to enter a system restore point, I noticed the Seagate Software did a restore point so I started this earlier period.

  It is a new installation of Windows 8. I have not yet loaded Windows 8.1 as all I have is the DVD of Windows 8 and Windows 7 recovery partition. I decided to try another new facility once again with the same result. I have a 3 TB drive, which has been cloned my original 2 TB disk. My 2 TB drive is wiped with 1 single partition and my new 3 TB drive has a system partition, the OS partition and a recovery partition. In addition, I now have a portion that is not attributed, that I'm unable to access and if I activate Windows finds an inevitable auto repair with no option but to remove the Seagate Software. My question is this, can I use this 3 TB drive as my main drive and be allowed access to all the data or I'll need to come back to used my original drive as the OS drive. I would avoid using my original drive because my new drive is faster.

  This issue has been resolved itself, I have reformatted all my readers and did install a clean Windows 8. After reading on the 2 TB limit I found that changing a few settings in my BIOS allows me to use the full 3 TB in Windows 8. I tried to save the Windows 7 recovery partition which has been installed by HP, but thought to remove the partition would be the best option. After formatting the drive, everything works as expected but Windows did install 2 partitions, that I don't already know, it's a recovery of 300 MB partition and a 100 MB EFI system partition. I hope this helps someone else who may have this problem as well.

  What exactly happens on your laptop? You can start Windows?

  I think the article MS says it all: to repair Windows you need a disc of Microsoft Vista.

  Alternatives to reinstall the entire system use the Toshiba recovery disc that contains a picture of the factory settings. Have you created this disk?

  Not only did I always say this, I think you have discovered that it will probably be necessary.

  You might be able to do something with SFC/scannow , or be Windows XP, possibly a repair install might fix things (if you have a Windows XP with the Service Pack 3 installation CD or can integrate a new installation CD for Windows XP SP3).

  SPACE does the work.  I then restarted the update Windows components and then successfully downloaded and installed 9 security updates.

  I understand the fact that you still recommend a format/install. Not having done it would be prudent to see how the operating system is running and if I have any further questions or you feel it is too risky on a computer used to pay bills and perform other necessary transactions. The computer is older and the cost may not be a return value.  I wait your answer before I post any other questions.  I thank you for your time and expertise.

• How to disable the automatic updates of windows and to update on demand

  At the same time, I had disabled the automatic updates of windows and updated on demand by opening windows update.  Where is the place to activate and deactivate the automatic updates of windows.

  It worked.  Thank you!

  I wasn't able to get automatic updates to download a microsoft windows update.  The fix for microsoft in default mode indicated that he needed to be repaired and that fixed it.  When windows update was used again the update has failed once again.  The fix even that it was then run in aggressive mode and with a recheck has failed to correct the problem.  At each restart, automatic updates took the time to start producing a yellow shield and then pop-up reminders.  So thank you to help us with these questions to disable the automatic updates of windows.

• Stuck in the automatic repair of repair could not your PC loop to win 8 on HP laptop

  I bought a new HP 15 '' Notebook in December 2014 with 8 Windows preinstalled. After loading the applications and copy the data from the machine it replaces, I stop the machine and got the familiar window "Updating - please do not power off ' message. However, when the auto reboot occurred auto repair window appeared with a message indicating that the machine cannot be repaired automatically and advising me to check the log file C:\Windows\System32\Logfiles\srt\SrtTrail.txt for the details of the problem. After I found the option to command line of auto repair-> troubleshooting-> Advanced Options-> command prompt, I found that the default drive called X:. After changing the C: with the "c:" command, the SrtTrail.txt file in the specified folder contained many successul test reports and the string "Startup Repair tried several times but still not determine the cause of the problem", if this file was not useful to determine the cause of the problem.

  In the command window, I was able to run

  Bootrec /fixMBR
  Bootrec /Fixboot
  Bootrec /rebuildBCD

  successfully, but after reboot I got the loop.

  I also tried

  CHKDSK c: /r
  CHKDSK d: /r

  but after reboot I again re-entered in the loop.

  I have not yet tried the reset option or update as Microsoft Office 2010 license key may not support another activation.

  Are there other actions I can try before I resort to reset or update?

  Hi Simon,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I really appreciate the efforts made to try to resolve the problem. I understand and it is regrettable that the laptop is stuck in this loop. You can perform a system restore using the installation media for Windows 8 to restore the laptop to point earlier in time. However, given that Windows 8 has been pre-loaded on this laptop, I would recommend contacting the manufacturer for recovery for Windows 8 media.

  Once you get the recovery media, you can perform the restore of the system following the steps below.

  a. insert the installation media and restart the computer.

  b. select language and click Next.

  c. select repair your computer and click on Skip this drive.

  d. select Troubleshooting and click Advanced Options.

  e. here, choose the automatic repair option and follow the instructions prompted.

  Important: 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.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• Pavilion Slimline: Stop the automatic download of Windows 10

  How can I prevent the automatic download of Windows 10?  I have the Home Edition of Windows 7 that works very well.  I tried the update of Windows 10 twice and it does not recognize my CD/DVD drive.  I started Windows 7 and that you want to keep it this way, but Windows keeps trying to automatically download Windows 10.  I changed my Windows Update setting to notify me when there are updates but do not download or install.  I think that would stop it, but it didn't.  Can someone help me?  My PC is seven years old.  Windows 10 works fine on my laptop and my wife's office, but they are only 2 years old.

  Hello Mrlefty,

  Nothing wrong with the help of Windows 7.

  The fact that the CD was not recognized win 10 could be just a matter of making a Nick registration, but no less...

  If you want to stop the upgrade of Windows contained 10 horse, or download, as I do this is to install a small piece of software called GWX Panel by ultimate Outsider.

  Ultimate outsider - software downloads

  Click on the link above and download it. There is also a guide explaining how to use it, but the Panel is little explicit, once opened.

  If you have any other questions, let me know.

• After an automatic update of Windows and stop, Firefox does not remember my tabs open at startup. Better Privacy does interfere with Crash Recovery somehow?

  Better Privacy does interfere with Crash Recovery somehow? My computer is automatically installed a Windows Update at 03:00 and switch off. When I started out, I had to restart Firefox. Firefox came without any of the tabs that were open when the PC went to bed the previous night. I spent an hour looking for what happened to my tabs, without success.

  This has happened

  Just once or twice

  == Automatic update of Windows shut down my computer in the middle of the night.

  Hello.

  It is possible that it was by force the windows closed so your firefox which makes you forget... Have you tried to crash your Firefox to see if the session is not restored?

  To plant your Firefox, simply there open, press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and then, on the process tab in the window that appears, complete the process firefox.exe. That will force Firefox to close at this moment. Do start again. If it works, ok, so it may have been a case isolate. My recommendation is to configure your windows does not install updates without your intervention. Choose something like 'ask me what to do' or something like that.
