I can see the Logo screen for a second, the computer shuts down completely. I tried pressing the F2 key with no result. The systems dvd in the drive at startup does not alter at all. What can I do?

  Hello

  ·        Were you able to boot to the desktop after the update?

  ·        Have you received an error message while you were trying to install updates?

  I suggest you to start in safe mode and then perform system restore to a date where the system worked very well.

  To start in safe mode follow the link below:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Once you start using safe run System Restore to perform a restore of the system follow the article below:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore

  You can also try to start WINRE (Windows Recovery Environment) and try the system restore in case you are not able to boot in SafeMode as well.

• Boot failure: System

  When I tried to start my Dell desktop w/XP Pro SP3 after you sleep last night, he got this message: failed to start: System stopped.

  I installed a Windows update about 2 days ago, but it started fine yesterday. What should I do to fix this? Bring it to the Geek Squad? Put in the system restore disc?

  Thank you.

  The options that are available to you depends on what drives you and if the discs offer other solutions in a destructive way to reinstall the operating system.

  Most new computers today do not come with the operating system disks, but you can get when you buy a computer custom made at a small supplier. With laptops and desktops you need to create the disks recommended and store safely before you start playing mass produced.

  Before attempting to repair the startup, you need to recover important data to protect against their loss files. This can be done by using a second computer and either by placing the drive in a cradle of external drive or by inserting the disc into a location of spare in the second computer. Anyway you can frequently read and copy files to a new location on the scecond computer or removable storage.

  If you need help by all means to take the computer to a small computer repairman, but please stay away from the Geek Squad.

  More help is available here if you want to fix the problem yourself.

• Try to install Windows XP and at the start of the drive I get the error message: Disk Boot Failure

  Disk Boot Failure

  I recently learned that so that my motherboard compatible with my operating system, I have need to uninstall the current one and install Windows XP. I use Windows 7, so I booted from this CD and deleted all the partitions and data (nothing is important there), then I went to start my new Windows XP CD and it says "Disk Boot Failure... etc.

  I changed the BIOS to boot from the CD, seeing as the other CD has worked to boot from, it doesn't seem to be a problem with my drive. I can't understand. Maybe it's a dodgy CD?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Check the manual of your motherboard you may need to reset the CMOS or make a hard CMOS reset to default.

• After upgrading RAM, computer stops and gives error when restarting: "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK".

I GET JUST THE ERROR MESSAGE.       > WHAT AM I DOING WRONG

  Hello

  You can view these methods:

  Method 1: As a first step, check to see if the hard disk becomes detected or listed in the Basic Input/Output system (BIOS). Also, be sure to change the boot order in the CMOS settings so that thehard drive is the first on the list.

  Note: To learn how, see the documentation provided with your computer or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from configuration can resolved BIOS/CMOS settings. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Method 2: If the manufacturer has installed the Recovery Console on your computer, perform the check disk to fix this.

  At the recovery console command line, type:

  Chkdsk /r

  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

• system boot failure, insert system disk and press enter appears that I'm going to solve this problem. ?

  system boot failure

  Hello

  Your question does contain all of the required information. Please provide us with the following information.

  1. what changes have been made on the computer until you have encountered the problem?

  2. who is the manufacturer of the computer?

  3. did you reinstall of Windows or recovery CD/DVD drive?

  4 is detected in the BIOS setup?

  The question could be attributed to several factors, including a failed hard drive or the corruption of the operating system. You can always try these steps and see if that eliminates the problem:

  1 disconnect all external equipment connected to the computer, except the monitor, keyboard and mouse, and then restart the computer

  2. check if the hard drive is properly plugged in.

  3. the power supply for the hard drive is fine.

  Kind regards

• Err1err3 Boot failure Insert system disk and press enter

  OK lets see if you can crack this for me, it started a week ago for me. If I leave my computer on as usual, he would go on the eve, duh. BUT now it would not start up instead of this I have a black screen and reboot I go to the blue HP screen with four options. Well I have tried for some time and managed to get Vista back up...

  Well, after that it started to get really slow and started freezing up during my loadup office. Then, after many hours of scanning and research and reading aid, after a virus scan and even a system restore I couldn't understand the problem and I did what for me was the unthinkable...

  Any help would be appreciated

  You are the very welcome.

  It should look like this.

  Hi Kim,
   
  -Have you done recent changes made to your computer after this problem started to happen?
   
  If your computer has just been formatted, your computer might need to insert the boot CD in order to run it. So you can get the error message Disk Boot Failure-press and insert disk entry displayed on the screen whenever you try to run it. This could be related to:
  • Startup options is incorrectly set in BIOS Basic Input Output System ().
  • A non bootable CD is in your CD player
  • You don't have any boot device
  • You have installed a new hard drive
  • The hard drive is not properly connected
  • Your system files have been infected

  Verify that one of these reasons may be the cause of your problem and post back with the details to help us to help you better.

• I want to install a second hard drive in my laptop (mSata SSD), so do I create a system dual boot with the same license Windows on each disc.

  Original title: Dual Boot Laptop

  I want to install a second hard drive in my laptop (mSata SSD), I have two programs to install that "do not receive the", so I can create a system dual boot with the same license Windows on each disc. I can run only one at a time, and it's the same pc/laptop.

  No, you can't, a second facility would be like installing on a second computer, you will need to purchase a second license.

• Disk Boot Failure on Pavilion a1720n

  My computer froze and crashed, then went to a black screen saying Disk Boot failure Insert System Disk. When I go to start my computer it goes either directly on the screen or it starts and runs fine for about 10 minutes and goes back to a black screen, repeat the disk boot failure.

  It is usually a very strong indication that your hard drive is dying. I hope you did the recovery disk set that will be required to reinstall your Windows and your software to a new hard drive.

  One thing you might try is first to enter the BIOS to turn on by pressing the F10 key. Once in the BIOS, press F5 to reset the default settings then F10 to save and exit.

• Satellite M30-604 external usb hdd boot failure

  Hello world

  Hard drive problems seem never to end for me.

  I have a satellite M30-604. Recently my Hitachi HDD crashed. Now, I am trying to boot from an external hard drive via usb, but I can't.

  (a) I use a ViPower 3.5 "(model VP9258T) enclosure external usb 2.0"
  (b) with a Seagate 200 GB hard drive.
  (c) I used the recovery cd to install windows on the seagate
  (d) the bios (v1.4) seems to support the external device to start
  (e) the internal hdd crashed is deleted (it's internal hard drive space is empty)
  (f) the bios sees the drive and recognizes it as a USB

  I think it should work, but when I turn on the computer, after a while, he says: "0201: failure IDE #0"
  and gives me the options to run the program installation or start-up.
  When I choose boot it gives me the window with "boot in safe mode" screen, 'last known good configuration' etc, but nothing of the work options (it restarts and gives the same again).

  Any ideas please?

  Hello

  My research on this subject has led me to believe that it is not possible to boot an operating system of attached USB HDD XP. I read several posts on various usenet groups on this issue, and the consensus of opinion is that it is simply not possible.

  Several suppliers of BIOS claim allow a USB HDD to be suitable for start-up purposes but I still have to attend such a machination succeed with XP.
