    Since last night I get the above error message on my computer at startup.

    I can not start in any other mode and tried to use the recovery console (starting on the DVD) using FIXBOOT and CHKDSK /R but still no luck.

    I also tried searching on the error code with no luck.  I recently bought an IPOD but was already using itunes and the computer worked very well after the IPOD synchronization.

    I'm stuck and would be grateful if someone could help me solve this problem.

    It is proably a record broken. Restart your computer and press F8 when Windows starts to load. Select the last known configuration of God in the menu, then press OK. I had the same problem, and that it resolves. Maybe a program to train register is broken.

  • Disable the touchpad on laptop Dell Inspiron 1501 with Vista

    I have checked the BIOS and can not see anyway to disable the touchpad from this location. When you use XP, I was able to disable the touchpad easily, but have not been able to do it under Vista. I was on the Dell site to see if it is a question of laptop. I have not received response to date. Please help I don't like the concept of the touchpad. I much prefer a mouse and do not use one. Please help if you know of any way to disable the touchpad. TKS

  • I have a hp mini 311-1037nr who recently failed to start. data error is "boot device not found.

    My hp mini 311-1037nr does not start. Its running windows 7 and no changes have been made. Error message is "boot device not found. It will not run a hard drive test, gives "the hard disk does not exist '. Tried not to reset the default settings of the BIOS also no luck. any ideas?

    Drive appears you in the BIOS? If not, and if reinstalling it does not help that I assume safely that the hard disk is dead.

    You can also try to download/creation of the various Linux Live boot floppies [Unbuntu, PartedMagic, etc.] to confirm that your other components are not at fault. If you can start and run a live linux OS then your other components of the system may very well.

    You can also remove the drive of your machine and install it as a secondary drive in another computer or a disk to see if you can access it.

    You can also run a HDD diagnosis by accessing your site of hard drive manufacturers and download/creating a diagnostic boot disk.

  • 15 - p030nr: Boot Device not found

    Need help on how to fix a problem where it says "boot device not found." He worked to find one day and the next time I turned on the computer, she appeared with this error message. After reading some things, it seems that it is a right of common mistake around the 1 year mark, but I don't know which is correct. Are there methods I could do to fix this problem.

    OK, if it was an old PC, my guess would be that the hard drive is a failure, but on a PC old of a few months, it is unlikely.

    However, it would be interesting to follow these instructions to check the hard drive:

    Presume withdraw OK, what might work is booting from CD or USB and running CHKDSK to see if this helps to repair the file system.

    CHKDSK is the short name of a utility that provides MS that will do a check of the file system and attempt to repair problems.  A damaged file system may prevent your computer to start correctly and get to a Windows desktop.

    Because you can not boot from your PC, then you need to download one of the following options and follow the instructions it contains to make a bootable USB stick or a CD:
    (1) miniTool Partition Wizard
    (2) EASEUS Partition Master
    (3) assistant Partition AOEMI

    Once the media, boot from it and use the option to check the disk.

    Good luck
