• Satellite Pro 430 CDT - boot disk problems

  I have a toshiba satellite pro 430 cdt which I am trying to re - install windows 95 (I have win 95 on cd) on with no luck at the moment.

  I downloaded the two files from bootdisk from www.bootdisk.com, win95a and win95b, but have neither the right cd rom driver, so then I got put www.driverguide.com driver this driver on startup disk and change the config file to use the correct driver and I always get the message that no driver for cd rom drive was found.

  I don't know if the cd rom drive no longer works, even if the green light on the side flashes when you eject the disc that told me that things seem ok (maybe wrong here however). I have the cd rom plugged into the Bay on the right side of the machine (internal) and drive in the caddy it is connected on the left side of the machine (external) and even if I swap them on the cd rom drive does not work but the floppy drive works in two ways. If the connector edge on the cd rom drive doesn't work properly or the drive itself is shot.

  If I remember correctly when the boot disk works correctly it should give you 3 or 4 options (don't remember that it was a long time ago I finally did, and I did not work boot disc, DOH!), which one should be something like, "install windows with the cd rom support" or something like that.

  Once I get this I am ok I have win 95 on cd, and it is quite simple installation there from there that I built a few pc and installed different versions of windows with no true front hassels.

  Did he have the same machine as me (uk version) and able to compress all the files on a boot floppy from win 95 work and e-mail it to me?

  Or just files autoexec.bat and config.sys are all I really need (as long as they work those). Anyone know anywhere I can get my hands on one set of diskettes originally supplied with the machine that I seem to have lost mine, I think there were two or three players but no windows cd, I bought my copy (legit) from a computer fair years.

  Will provide you with my e-mail address later if necessary.

  Thanx

  Hi Steve

  I found the information that the device was shipped with 10 x player XM - 1502-B.

  Check this box:
  http://www.cdrom-drivers.com/companies/1066.htm

  There you can find a lot of drivers for different units. But maybe it's something wrong with the occupation of s PIN. In addition, you can ask the service partner for advice.

  Good bye

• ISO-> boot disk problems

  I am trying to take an ISO file and turn it into a boot drive.  ISO question files are MHDD, disc Boot Magic and HDAT2.  I don't really know what I'm doing, but I first tried using Roxio, by selecting 'Make disk Bootable,' choose the ISO file and burning.  Disks wouldn't boot correctly.

  After reading several, it seemed I'd need to extract the files first.  So I got WinImage, extracted the ISOs and burned the files extracted to a disk.  Once again, no dice.

  What I am doing wrong?  I use a laptop XPS M1710 running Windows XP.  My BIOS version is up-to-date (A07).  And Yes, I changed the boot order to CD-ROM first.

  Thanks a lot for any help in advance.

• Problem full boot disk

  I was struck with the dreaded full disk boot error message. I have a hard disk of 500 GB solid state. Disk utility, I opened, and he said I had about 44 GB of free space. If this should not be sufficient?

  In any case, I deleted my Aperture libraries and disk utility now says I have about 56 GB of free space. So, I went about my business when I suddenly got the message startup disk is full again. I checked the disk utility and discovered that she had changed to 56 GB less than 1 GB.

  So I restarted my laptop, and it's the same thing. What is going on?

  I have a possible answer: I checked Activity Monitor and discovered that there are some very big 'process' which had to be closed by force.  It is a problem, I thought I had solved a long time ago.

  If have several websites that I have developed on my laptop. If I open a web page in a browser, and this web page is linked/included in a missing file, then the page starts blocking memory. The only warning is that my computer started acting sluggish. I then open the activity monitor and usually have to force to close a series of rogue process maybe half a dozen. But which never resulted in a startup disk full message.

  I know that a web page of thugs would use additional memory, while a boot disk error seems to indicate a physical lack of SPACE.

  Anyway, does anyone have advice? Thank you.

  Stop the web server and see if the problem stops.

  Looks like your sites consume too much memory. In "physical memory" is exhausted the operating system written unused memory to disk - this is called "paging" or "Exchange on the disk. Obvoiusly which means disk space gets reserved for this "expanded memory". Finally, something must give.

  56 GB of free space is OK, unless you have a process that runs somehow out of control like this - something not at all with these sites or scripts. Personally, I prefer a bit more margin to maneuver, but 56 GB should be enough on a healthy system.

  You don't need to use disk utility to see the use of disk space. Open a Finder window and simply get the information on your disk (Go Menu > computer lists all storage connected).

  Expanded memory must be included in the activity to the 'used Swap' monitor if I remember correctly.

  You should not kill the process either - it's a sign that something is wrong and can lead to instability and data loss if they are used by large parts of the operating system.

  I think you should work on your test pages why begin to 'blocking of memory', perhaps runaway javascript or something in the real of the server, you could read the logs from the server if they are active to see if something is do a lot of queries etc.

  What is the real server and code that you are running?

• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

• Problem getting all the portable versions of firefox from 28 to start without error xpcom in DO PE 48 boot disk place at the start of the P-Start

  I built an emergency recovery boot disk using MAKE PE3 - 48 and P Start to enable the use of portable programs after booting into the recovery environment. I have used with success of Firefox Portable till and including version 28.

  These same portable versions of Firefox, however, will begin in the normal environment of Windows 7 Ultimate on all my computers, however, in the environment of DOING PE 3, on the same device, they will not.

  You can ask about it in the support forum for Firefox Portable here:

  Firefox Portable is a 3rd party application, not published by Mozilla. I installed it myself for dealing with changes in it and how it differs from the official version of Mozilla, but don't know enough about it or something DO PE 48 to be able to help you.

• make a boot disk

  I'm doing a startup disk, a boot disk.  I have several disks usb, 1, 2, 3 TB, or I could use a flash drive, if he stands on a 32 GB flash drive, that is.  I suppose that it wouldn't be as people online sell everywhere to help people who find it difficult to install el crapitan.  Many of them must be as one of the amazon sellers showed 4000 available: 39 left.  Ouch.  I can't el crapitan to install to save my life.  It crashes, never works.  The importance of the support of apple is suggesting that I say 'Yes' when I start, as I have to "accept" the agreement from apple before, even though I told her is not the problem, she sent me a book of instruction page three on how to start el crapitan and to proceed with the installation, you have to say yes, and you will need to acceptt their agreement.  Yes, I did.  no problem with this part.  but it's that the things she and the two girls before and both were subsequently in the same boat.  Mr President, let me send you instructions on how to download it.  "No, I say, I did.  Do you really think someone is struggling to push a button that says "download?  Obviously, Yes. because she sent me instructions, once again, no joke, on how to push the button so he can 'download '.  Complete with how to do it with your finger and how if you have a plug in the mouse, with a separate section if you have a wireless mouse.  Hell me silly.

  O.K. HELP!  El CRAPITAN won't complete the upgrade process.  Please tell me if it takes normally 8 to 12 hours on your systems.  I guess he was hanged and killed the process.  rebooted, retried... same thing.  anything after 12 hours or more.  Yes, I used the pad on my Apple Macbook Air 11 '', i7, 4 GB ram, 250 GB SSD.  I do not use a wireless mouse.  I have not used a wireless mouse.  I did no harm to press download, and after I did, it succeeded because it was changed to read "DOWNLOAD"... "If there are employees of apple here who have not... so much worse.  If you work for Apple, leave, just freaking leave I have no more time or patience for you.  Just trust me the O.K. FREAKING the COMPLETE DOWNLOAD.  O.K.?  Because it gives an error message when I tried to install from the same disk.  Then I tried to install it from a second disc, a key USB WD 3 TB.  Seems to hang.  (Tell me whether I should WAIT WAIT 15 HOURS OR MORE for the thing to check.)  Anyway, it does not work.  So I found a TON of entries, some are already selling thousands of them, for small usb thumb drives flash of various sizes, called the STARTUP disk, so...

  I guess el Crapitan must be installed on a PARTITION AMORCABLE where in the CAR.  Something that it would have been so freaking sweet if they would have SAID THAT SOMEWHERE some TIME no matter WHEN IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PACKAGE ON THEIR SITE.  OK, so I think I ned a diskette formatted in some way.  Me color cheap, stupid, whatever.  But rather than buy on online at Amazon, I thought how hard can it be?  I can do it.  Big mistake.  Create a disc a disc of starting, or bootable used to be in the old days an easy as pie thing...

  However the Apple support site, helps him terminal programs, man pages diskutil, the program Apple accessories disk utility supplies, NOT HAVING ANY HELP DRIVE of FILES THAT BOOK REFERENCE, START UP DISK or any combination of the same, you know... How can you, how can you do a... whatever.  nothing. isn't there.  And here, in the consumer help pages.  No messages that are either.

  It's not rocket science.  It can be done.  How to make a boot disk?  How to format a disk a bootable floppy.  or a book drive, no matter what.

  And if y ' All are Apple support staff, and if you tell me that I pressed the wrong download button or I pulled the single button in the wrong order... I take my mac to a shooting range and shooting it be shot to pieces and displaying it on iTunes.  And never, never, ever, buy a mac or an apple anything.  , so, this whole experience has soured me I could never do that either.

• 23 - k027c: ERROR: no boot disk was detected or drive failed

  Hello!

  My computer

  HP Envy tilt 23-k027c TouchSmart all-in-One desktop PC (energy star)

  These latest OS Windows 10 (update of Windows 8, which was preinstalled on the computer at the time of the purchase in December 2013)

  Intel (r) Core (TM) 15-457OT CPU @ 2.90 GHz

  Processor speed 2900 MHz

  A few days ago it started showing blue screens of death with a PAGE_FAULT_in_NONPAGED_AREA note all other hours, or sometimes 3 times per hour.

  I went through all the troubleshooting process, finished with a bluescreen debugging possible analysis demonstrating that the ntoscrnl.exe driver might cause the blue screen issue.  And on the morning of the next day my computer greated me with a black screen with an ERROR: no boot disk was detected or drive failed.

  I can still get into the BIOS by pressing ESC at the present time of HP sign appear early attempts to restart.

  BIOS indicates that the hard disk is detected (yay!), so it is not the source of the problem.

  Memory and disk test went well passed, PASSED tests successfully.

  Pushing ' restore the original and exit "in the bios does not help.

  Nothing else works. Only these two ESC and F10 keys.

  How can I fix the system?

  I don't have a HP with PC Restore disc when I bought it. Site Web of HP didn't kits of restoration for the moment.

  What to do?

  SOS help, please!

  It is the computer that I use for work and personal use. There are gigabytes of photos of my family, as well, who desperately, I don't want to lose...

  I'll be super thankful for all reasonable advice and direct instructions!

  The ' ERROR: no boot disk was detected or drive failed. "  May be a simple solution to redo the botmanager file.  This normally requires a bootable DVD with the repair function or a USD bootable with windows and repair function.  Windows 10 is installed, this would be my choice getting either the drive or the USB key.  HERE IS THE MEDIA tool of M$.  Make the work of another PC, DVD or USB and then - on PC - start problem that media and choose repair when loading of the POPup screen.  DO NOT install.  If you install it, it will eliminate your data.

  BTW: 10 Windows is installed, the HP recovery disk will return the PC to Windows 8.

• Pavilion dv6 - 7095ca: no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key

  
  

  Thanks for your help and please excuse my bad English.
  Please check item 7, if you're in a hurry. This is the point with my Pavilion DV6 - 7095-CA:

  (1) the operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), the provided original with my 7095CA Pavilion, more updates HP until 2013, and all Windows updates until July 2015.

  (2) now I can't access the operating system and I have no interface UEFI. I can see that I press F2 at startup, just a test simple disk in BIOS f.0Une (the test shows that the disc is OK)

  (3) return in 2013 it took a drive failure. I did replace the disk and reinstall original Win7, all updates, including the HPS, win7 updates and all my personal software.

  (4) at this time, I bought a spare hard drive and did a complete copy of the disc using Partition Wizard bootable cd. The second disc has been tested and worked perfectly, with all of my personal software on this subject.

  So I have 2 HDs identical with the same system on both drives, fully working and tested.

  (5) a few days ago I came across the HP website and made a few updates, including the BIOS f.0Une (the last BIOS update, was of course).

  (6) after BIOS update ran, I received the message "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

  (7) I couldn't solve the problem, so I did remove the hard drive and install my backup drive, which lay in a dry place without danger from 2013.

  (8) I turned on the computer and got the same message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key", and I couldn't find any way to solve this problem.

  Now I'm doing a new installation on a third HD everything works very well, so far, in the new facility and I will never buy HP again.

• We found no boot disk or startup disk has failed?

  OK, so yesterday my wireless mouse is broken, I restart my computer to get it to work again. When I did, it has not fixed my problem, so I went online to see some solutions. When I went on a secure site, I got an alert on my computer and something about 2 programs being completed. It seemed was going to turn off the computer, and in a panic, I turn it off. When I turned it back on, it went straight to the verification of the startup disk. And it gives me the message: no boot disk was detected or the startup disk has failed. I got it a couple of times before and all I ha do turn off two or three times, and he'd turn out normally. It won't work, and I tried several ways to remedy. I clicked on F2 and F8 a F11, but nothing works, and I do not have a cd with media recovery settings. Any help would be appreciated.

  When you request support, please provide the number of name and/or product of comprehensive model of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models which are all different. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

  Turn on your computer and immediately start typing the appropriate key 'F' to run the hardware diagnostics or system on your computer. Then, run the hard drive test and report the results. If the hard drive has failed or is about to fail, you may need to replace the hard drive. If the hard drive is reported as 'OK', the boot sector, or the hard drive was damaged and the operating system must be repaired or reinstalled.

  You may need to use your HP recovery disks to solve each problem above. If you create your personal series of HP, as suggested by HP recovery disks when you configure your computer... you will need to order a series.

• No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key

  Hello

  I was with boot camp to install 10 Windows from a usb key. The first problem I encountered was an error message stating that Windows supports software could not be downloaded on my flash drive. I read that the necessary drivers could be installed later so I unchecked the box. The part of the installation, then training camp as it should (create a partition etc.)

  However, when the Mac went to restart and (probably) to start the program installation of Windows, the error message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" displayed. My problem is the wireless keyboard does not respond and the light on this issue seems to suggest that it is not connected. My guess is that the drivers needed, such as Bluetooth are not there.

  I'd be happy enough to restart OS x and forget all about Windows, but I can't see how to get around this problem?

  A wired keyboard could work?

  any help is appreciated!

  Thanks in advance

  Max.

  A wired keyboard and mouse will work. If you try to install Windows and tried to download the Windows software on a wireless network, try a wired connection. to rebuild your USB Installer.

  In my view, there is nothing you can do to repair the drive except to replace it.

  You can run the checkdisk utility and check both boxes.
