BSOD Endless. Cannot boot to the desktop.

Original title:

BSOD Endless.

I am running Windows 8 on a Dell laptop. Whenever I try to start my laptop, it goes to a blue screen, but it flashes away before I can read the error, then it starts to load the screen to "prepare the AutoFix. After that, it goes to a screen where it asks if you want to troubleshoot or turn off the computer. The results are as follows

(1) updating your PC

I get a message that says "the drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive, and then try again. »

(2) replace your PC

Have not yet tried. It's the kind of a thing last resort for me.

(3) reference Dell backup and restore

"The recovery environment is incomplete or corrupt. It is recommended that you try to recover your system from another bootable recovery media. »

(4) advanced options

(1) the system restore

"To use the system restore, you must specify which Windows installation to restore. Restart this computer, select an operating system, and then select System Restore."

(2) System Image recovery

"An internal error has occurred. The following information can help you resolve the error: the system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002)

(3) auto repair

Doesn't help at all. Just says PC diagnosis then gives me a screen that says "auto repair couldn't fix your PC. Press 'Advanced Options' to try other options to repair your PC or "Shut down" to turn off your PC. "Log file:"

4 & 5) isn't really helping me cause I don't know what to do with them.

This has happened since last week. Sometimes, after trying to resolve it and then just turn it off and leave it alone for the rest of the day, the next day my laptop will work fine, until I have reboot or turn off again.

* Today, I was in the middle of the update of the Dell backup and recovery thing and he told me to restart and when I did it didn't come back and just put me in this whole process again. Suffice it to say if that helps anything

Hi Ericka,

Thank you for sharing the details. Since you had problems after trying to update Dell backup and restore, I suggest you contact Dell for assistance.

  • Satellite M45: Cannot boot from the CD-ROM or HARD drive

    I get the following messages...

    WHEN BOOTING FROM HDD: "Invalid partition table".

    At the START of the CD: "No Bootable CD in ATAPI CD-ROM.
    By so, even though I have the recovery CD and the computer can not read them.

    I tried to change the order of boot without result. Created a bootable CD Bart, who works in my other computer, but not in this laptop. Are there special drivers, I need for this CD?
    I'm out on this one.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think that your partition on the HARD disk is damaged and so you cannot boot from the HARD drive.
    In this case, the HARD drive must be formatted completely and then you could try to install the OS.

    It seems also that your drive cannot recognize the CD bootable (WinXP?) and, therefore, it of not possible to boot from the drive.
    Well, it really stupid s :_| situation really stupid!

    However, did you try to boot from another CD? For example Microsoft Windows original CD?
    If not I recommend you to do and eventually the reader will be able to read the CD.
    If this isn't the case, so I think that the reader must be checked. Possibly it also corrupted s.

  • Quick access Acer/turn off the option to boot to the desktop

    I am running Windows 10 on my Aspire AIO. Quick access Acer has a power button to boot to the desktop. I don't know what it's really like Windows 10 boots already straight to the desktop. If I choose to - boot to the desktop, what will do?

    Thank you

    John

    JohnBobin,

    This feature was something set up for Windows 8 really, since it starts up the screen of the tile when it entered in Windows. Since you have 10 Windows and it starts on the screen in any case, you have really no need to switch it on.

    I can't access an AIO which has this feature currently, but I'd be willing to say that if you the activated, the value your AIO tablet mode and rebooted, it would probably start in desktop mode. It's something you can test, if you wish, but I think that this feature can only be ignored at this stage.

  • Satellite M40 - cannot boot from the recovery cd after format HARD drive

    Hello

    After my Satellite M40 - 133 being affected by the virus of security internet I had to wipe my hard drive. The virus wouldn't let me do anything, boot without failure or system restore. I wiped the disk and it still wouldn't load up. That's why I had to do a full erase of the disk including the hidden partition.

    After doing his now do not let my boot from the CD of restoration as it says invalid partition as his search for files that must be on the hidden partition. What can I do to get it started. I'm not bothered about to recover anything on the disc. If I remove the hard drive and put the recovery cd in, it excludes the disc and begins to start until he fails to see the hard drive.

    Outwardly I can link the drive to another pc and he sees it as a storage device so I'm glad that there is nothing wrong with the hard ware - help please

    Hello

    Can you see the HARD drive with all the details in the BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty or not fully compatible.
    If you can see the HARD drive in the BIOS, then this means that the HARD drive is compatible.

    But this should not affect booting from a bootable CD.
    Even if the HD would not be recognized in the BIOS, you should be able to boot from the CD. For example a live Linux CD has not only any disk HARD because the BONE would not be installed on the HARD drive, but it loads into RAM.

    The question is; Why you are unable to boot from any CD?
    Maybe the discs are scratched or the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc more because of problems of laser lens
    If possible, try to copy/burn the Windows CD using another computer, and then try to start using the copied disc.

  • Cannot access on the desktop, the laptop readers.

    I have two computers running Win 7 Ultimate. 1 desktop and 1 laptop. I'm running through a Netgear wireless router. Office is hard wired to the router via an ethernet connection. The laptop has a wireless connection. I also have a cable for color laser printer to the router via an ethernet connection.

    The laptop can see the desktop and can access the printer and some of the hard disks on the desktop. The laptop can detect and access G: and H: drives on the desktop but not C: D: E: and Z: drives. G: and H: drives are located on an external USB disk door. The other drives are connected internally to the desktop. Trying to access drives unaccessable to the desktop, I get the following error message.

    "Windows cannot access \\DESKTOP\Desktop C:.  You are not allowed to access \\DESKTOP\Desktop c. contact your network administrator to request access. »

    The office displays the icon of the laptop in the network, but I get the same error message when I try to access the laptop, but the laptop is overridden to desktop in the above error message. The error code is: 0 x 80070035.

    All readers have enabled file sharing and permissions set for everyone. In fact each player is set up exactly the same thing, and both computers are set up exactly the same except for the name of the computer (eg. Mobile - Office).

    I suggest check to ensure that all services of collective housing began and then retry the connection:

    Open the services menu by clicking Start and then type "services.msc" then on enter.

    Locate the following services in the list:

    ·         DNS client

    ·         Function Discovery Provider Host

    ·         Function Discovery Resource Publication

    ·         Peer networking grouping

    ·         HomeGroup provider

    ·         HomeGroup listener

    ·         SSDP Discovery

    ·         UPnP device host

    Sure they were launched and retry the connection.

    To start the service, double click on it and press the 'start' button in the dialog box that appears.

  • Cannot boot from the HARD drive in AHCI on Satellite C mode

    I tried to get this satellite working for these past two weeks. I think I've tried all of the suggestions I found on this forum and others.

    My problem: I can not boot from drive c: in AHCI, only in compatibility mode. I can boot from the D: (recovery partition) in AHCI mode. When the recovery is complete, and when it gets to the first reboot, try to boot from the system newly created on the C:, I return the compatibility mode.

    I replaced the drivers on the C: drive.

    I extracted the AHCI drivers and copied in the root of a USB bootable. I try to do a clean install of windows 7, I get to where it shows the partitions. He tells me that it can not load the system on any of the partitions, I the AHCI mode (if the mode is set to compatibility it will load the system in one partition).
    I select "load drivers" and select the driver in the root directory, it loads the driver and then reports that it can not load the system on any of the partitions.

    I'm puzzled. I acquired pilots everywhere, the last set of drivers I used to try to do a clean install, I have acquired the Canadian official Toshiba site.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Portege A200 - cannot boot from the recovery disc

    Hi, I have a Portege A200 and an original unused Toshiba Recovery CD.

    When I go to recover, the DVD drive just turns and turns and nothing happens. I have tried different methods of booting with the disk to like, by pressing the C key, select boot from CD/DVD or just turn it on with the DVD in the drive. Same problem, the disc turns right away.

    I also checked the drivers TOshiba download page and let down when I found out that there are several drivers for the same thing, like the 3 drivers LAN! Which should I use? Also, I can confirm that the CD/DVD drive works fine because I already loaded windows XP, no problem.

    Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Kieran99.

    Hey Kieran99,

    I also think that s is not a problem of the CD/DVD drive. If it turns over and over again once he recognizes a disc but it can t be read correctly.

    Regarding your question about drivers I think that it of fairly easy. I can recommend the vendor and device ID in Device Manager. With these identification numbers, you can search on this website http://www.pcidatabase.com/ to determine the LAN controller. All that s! :)

    In addition, you can check the ID s in Device Manager, if you click the LAN card properties > Details > PCI\VEN_xxxx & DEV_xxxx

  • Cannot boot from the CDROM on a satellite A100-549

    Hello.

    I think I have a problem with my BIOS because I can't start something of my CDROM.

    I removed the recovery off the DVD-ROM drive CD and restarted my computer.

    Then set up the boot sequence to boot from the CD, and nothing happened.
    My laptop just start with the normal boot sequence, I mean from the hard drive.

    I put a livecd for the CDROM drive and the effect was the same, the cd does not start and the computer began the ususal boot sequence.

    Can someone tell what is the problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Try to use all possible methods to set ODD as first boot device:
    1. press the key C immediately after switching on the unit, keep it down for a few seconds
    2 put in the BIOS
    3. choose F12 after departure upward and choose the CD/DVD device

    Honestly, it's very strange and if nothing helps, maybe you should contact your dealer or authorized Toshiba service partner directly. They check the disc.

    BTW: have you noticed any other problems with ODD Windows?

  • Satellite A10: Cannot boot from the recovery CD after the replacement of the motherboard

    Heres one in your brain is going...

    I recently started a format hard drive via the normal recovery CD, but it never finished as long as the power cut.

    Not to worry I thought, I kept all my data and a new motherboard was on order.

    The fitting of the new Council, I tried to boot from the recovery disc and all I get is 'non-system disk '.

    Then I replaced the HARD drive with a former to check the functionality of the Cd. The old disks (I tried two) both still booted from the cd and their HDs has worked fine once in windows.

    However...

    When I try to start any of these 'good' HDs from the cd nothing happens, nada zilch. In fact they will not start even to a 'Beginner PC' recovery disk either, so it's not the Toshy recovery disk.

    Another weird thing is when I go into the bios by pressing ESC the power upward and then F1 and try to change the boot sequence and press end to exit and save, nothing happens.

    If the CD is not defective because it is recognized in windows
    The recovery disks may not be at fault because the other disks also fail to start.

    This is not a drive problem hard as other HDs start normally (but not Cd)

    This could be a fault on the new motherboard, perhaps a problem with bios, or the sequence of events suggests something else?

    Any suggestions would be welcome
