  I have 5 Dell Optiplex GX 620 desktop computers.  All are about 5 years old.  Had a hard drive failure so I replace the disks C: by secondary SATA disk cloning, disk 1 in the bios.  BIOS sees drive when Windows XP on two systems and not on the other three.  Have no idea why.  All rooms have all the updates of Windows and Dell. A bought WD Caviar Green drives.  WD has replaced three with Caviar Black readers and still does not work.

  Level 2 support WD had response which was to creat Acronis True Image WD Edition BACK boot CD for the windows version of the software, (that I downloaded on www.wdc.com), boot to a CD and had the disc I cloned then.  I wish only the support level 1 guy was aware of this utility.

• "The drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive, and then try again. »

  Have a laptop Envy M6-K010DX. Due to a problem of the internet while improving to win 8 to 8.1, the PC does not start correctly, and Windows Explorer will not load. Has decided to "Refresh" of the operating system and is gone to F11 restore utilities. When I go to the utility of refreshment and follow the prompts that I reach a message that says, 'the drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive, and then try again. "I was looking for support for the unlocking instructions and apart from some commands bootrec (which did not work - probably because I don't have a Win 8 disc) not much is available.

  The only access I have for execution of orders made by the tasks Manager command-line and F11. What is this 'locked' drive, anyway? Someone at - it any information on that?

  Hello Lara.

  IF you have updated from 8 to 8.1 and the process was interrupted during installation, this may damage the disc and therefore locked error. "Refreshing" the system would not be the answer that you need to clean install Windows 8 again. 8.1 update can break the bond of the recovery partition, especially if it has become corrupted as indicated.

  You must clean up the installation with the recovery discs, you must have created before you updated to 8.1.

  In addition, if you do not have the recovery disks, you can buy a set of HP or install a regular copy of Windows 8 and then update the drivers manually. HP has the Windows key now integrated into the bios.

  I'm sorry to hear you had to do this.

  Good luck with the new computer.

• Error when you try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

  Windows XP SP3 problem

  Recently, I met a problem with my PC and was forced to use the system recovery. Now I'm back to factory settings and try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3 on my computer. Windows Update won't work for me, that whenever I try to update I get [error number: 0x8024400A]. I think it's because I use Service Pack 2, or that's what I concluded after researching the problem, anyway.

  This is not my real concern, however. Because I could not get the update automatically, I tried to download and install the "Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT professionals and developers" myself. The first time I did it, I restarted the PC after the installation and was met with "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "  I went into safe mode and went to a just system restore point before SP3 was installed, but now I don't know how to install it correctly without encountering this problem after reboot. I'm hardly the easy just stick with SP2 when there are potentially important available updates. How can I get Windows Service Pack 3 is installed on my PC?

  It's certainly interesting!

  If the cause of your problem is to have a HP PC with an AMD processor and an original image on your hard drive (and of course it sounds like this is the case), the solution should be to rename the file intelppm.sys and launch the sp37394.exe patch. Once done, the SP3 file that you downloaded from here:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=24
  SHOULD work!
  I'm puzzled why there is no intelppm.sys file in your directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers.
  Since you recently returned to square one with your PC ("return to factory settings"), then you may as well run the patch from this page:
  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&LC=en&DLC=en&softwareitem=PV-60484-2
  and try the SP3 Setup file again.
  But, first, let's be absolutely sure that we are both using the same terminology. Please answer the following questions:
  1. have you safely backed up ALL your data?
  2. what method did you use to ride "back to factory settings? I think that your choices have been a destructive restore (full) and a (partial) non-destructive recovery. The first erases the disk and leave you with a pristine image and NOTHING ELSE (which means that all of your programs and data get deleted). The other (which does not always correctly) is supposed to leave programs and data intact.

  Hello

  · What is the number and the model of the computer?

  · Do you remember all the recent changes on the computer before the show?

  · What is the service pack installed on the computer?

  · What options have tried advanced startup options?

  Remove all external devices such as printers and scanners connected to the computer and then try to start.

  As you mentioned you don't have a CD/DVD drive on the computer and you are not able to boot in any mode, there are only two options:

  a. you will need to connect external CD/DVD drive to the computer for further troubleshooting.

  b. you must contact the manufacturer of the computer.

• OfficeJet 7210 printing preferences does not work with the driver for Windows 8

  I have successfully installed the driver of Windows 8 (64 bit) full of features.  Printer copy, scan, fax and print from the computer.  However, I'm no longer able to print in grayscale, select a print quality (fast draft, project, etc.) and choose the paper type on the printer menu shortcuts in the printing preferences.

  In the box "what do I want?" and choose fast/economical printing, the selections above will appear in the list of options, but when you go to select an option in the drop-down lists that can empty al.

  You probably work with a more basic driver in Windows 8, and this is why you are not able to use these features. I would check to see if there is another driver that will allow you to use the. Here's a message written by a colleague who deals with how you can do this:

• Error: "the drive where windows is installed is locked, unlock the drive and try again" while trying to regenerate the system

  My daughters Toshiba S955-S5373 went all green, she says while she helped the battery out. I didn't know she was in trouble. We tried to solve; However, Bad_system_config_info appears before diagnosing and resolving problems. After 4 hours, nothing has been resolved.

  I found the DVD we created initially and attempted to load that. We shut down the laptop with the power and reverse holding F12 button. I tried to boot from the DVD, but it does not read the DVD and just crossed the initially to start and diagnose and solve problems. I have waited 2 hours, but without success.

  I turned off again and I just tried to refresh the PC. He said "the drive where windows is installed is locked, unlock the drive and try again".

  I then tried auto repair but could repair. Log file C:\Windows\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrao;/txt appeared.

  I even tried to reset the PC as a last resort. But the message failed to reset the PC required A disk partition is missing.

  Don't know what I can do. Can you help us?

  Original title: Toshiba S955-S5373 will not start

  Hi Annaed,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I can understand your concerns to your system and will certainly guide you in the right direction to solve the problem.

  Control bug BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO occurs if the SYSTEM registry hive is damaged. However, this corruption is generally unlikely, because the bootloader, known as NT Loader (NTLDR) in versions of Windows prior to Vista, checks a hive for corruption when loading the hive.

  This bug check can also occur if some values and critical registry keys are missing. You keys and values may be absent, if a user manually change the registry.

  As per the error message "the drive where windows is installed is locked, unlock the drive and try again", I would refer to the suggestions posted by phanlon7 replied on 12 October 2013 in the next thread and check if they are useful.
