BSOD takes another victim - help! Error code: operating system not found

I had problems with the BSOD through the month of July. Deleted and reloaded the software and things seemed to work better, but then (just before a big presentation!) she went from BSOD at a black screen of death telling me "OS not found"! I have no boot disk, and my other computer is an iPad. Any suggestions? I don't want to have to buy another copy of Windows 8.

Hello

Looks like a hardware problem. Maybe the hard disk so it can be other hardware.

System manufacturer will sell you cheap installation media since you already own Windows 8.

    Hello

    If you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your laptop there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Also some manufacturers have more available recovery Vista disc.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • HP Pavilion g6 series: operating system not found

    I have a HP Pavilion g6 series... I get the error message "operating system not found. Try disconnectin all disks that do not contain an operating system.  Press Cntr + Alt + Del to restart"I have a dvd with the iso file of windows and can not get the Bios to boot from the DVD.  I tried hitting F10 when booting and changing the WOOD Setup Boot Options Boot Order to 'Internal CD/DVD ROM drive' with no luck.  Can someone please?

    Hello

    You are welcome

    No, you shouldn't need to change the boot priority in the Bios Menu.

    Once you have created the bootable flash drive, all you need to do to start this is the following.

    Insert the flash 10 for Windows, and then stop the laptop drive.

    Now on TAP the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start Menu.

    Select the Boot Options Menu ( f9 ).

    Use the arrow keys to select the option of usb flash drive and press ENTER.

    Hello

    I guess that something with your HARD drive is not really OK. An error message is displayed when the system is unable to boot from the CD/DVD-ROM or HARD disk.

    You have to imagine a sequence (called 'boot-sequence') where all devices that are bootable (such as disk, floppy, CD-ROM, NETWORK drive) are "checked" if some boot media or the program is present. Sequentially, the BIOS attempts to load the next available boot media.

    In the case of no current boot media, the system tries to finally boot from the network that doesn't work not because you´re not connected to a corporate network that has sometimes things network bootable... :)

    So, I suggest you to first check your BIOS (by pressing ESC, then F2) and check the "Boot sequence" if something has changed. Check if the HARD drive is located on the first entry, otherwise set it up. If so, then send your machine a partner / reseller/service because your machine then has a really serious problem.

    Greetings

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    According to the page of the product HP for your PC, it came not with preinstalled Win10.  THIS means that you have done the upgrade to Win10.

    While Microsoft says there is no risk in the upgrade of Win10, because they allow you to believe that you can always return to your BONES and the original installation program within 30 days, the ugly fact of the matter is that the Win10 GoBack feature turned out to be unreliable - and when she fails, she can let machines in a State corrupted - that does not always happen , but it happens often enough to be a problem and you will get no warning beforehand that he goes to the trash your PC!

    If this is not enough, the Win10 upgrade is known, in some cases, corrupt partition recovery stored by the OEM that built the original machine. It's pretty much guarantee that no HP recovery will work.

    The problem you mentioned is usually due to one of two basic problems:
    (1) defective hard drive
    (2) damaged/missing bootloader files

    As to the first, please follow the instructions in this link to test your hard drive: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00439024

    If that confirms that your drive has failed, then you will need to replace it.  Please report back if this is the case.

    As for the second, you need access to a PC for this phase of work in order to create the necessary support to fix your PC boot loader.

    Once you have that, please download and create the Win10 installation media from this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10

    Note that when you download and build install media, the default tool corresponding to what is already installed on your PC (as in home for the House, and 64-bit to 64 - bit).  While you CAN change these settings, are NOT. If you do, the media that results will be different and will force you to enter a NEW product code.

    Boot from the media that you have created and follow the instructions in this link: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2294-advanced-startup-options-boot-windows-10-a.html

    You will need to go to the Advanced Options screen and click on startup repair.  You will probably need to run Startup Repair three times for him to fix all the boot loader.

    Once completed, your PC should start OK.

    Good luck

  • Windows Vista has crashed, "the operating system not found" error, can I load Windows XP on a partition?

    I have an Acer Aspire 5516, with pre-installed Windows Vista. I didn't know that it did not come with a recovery disk UNTIL my system crashed! During a routine virus scan, I got a blue screen saying a major problem has been found and the system has been shut down. I followed the instructions to gracefully shut down my laptop. When I turned this back on after the "Acer" logo he went to a black screen with info on my computer and the last line States "not found operating system". That's when I discovered there was no recovery disc & it is integrated into the system. To access this system you we F8 to enter safe mode, then Alt F10 to access 'erecovery management system. Neither one of these functions operate! Still getting the black screen with "operating system" not found I have a Windows XP my laptop previous. What I was wondering is if I can load on my Acer, possibly on a partition, in order to be able to get into my laptop and save all of my files? I'm terrified of losing everything I have! I have thousands of pictures that I can't replace. If anyone can help please do! I am on a very limited income & can not really afford professional help. Thank you very much in advance!

    Hello

    normally with an Acer you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the hidden recovery partition recovery, not F8, then this combo

    but you do not have an option to save your data, that

    in daily use acers normally have a system partition, a partition of data to save your data, etc. to and also this hidden partition recovery

    and read this on data recovery, too;

    Data recovery

    1. remove the hard drive and it slave in another computer

    2 buy or borrow a USB disk drive hard put in yout case then plug it into another computer and read the hard drive like this

    3. try Knoppix

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    BUT this method 3 depends on your hardware in the computer that failed

    read this information about method 3:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  • Error "operating system not found" Vista on HP Pavilion DV6700

    I get a recurring "Operating system not found" error on my HP laptop. To let you know - I have backed up all the files on the DVD machine.

    The problem started last week.  I tried to turn the machine on and got the error.  I did a scan of the hard disk BIOS and the hard drive passed all tests.  I then tried to insert the first of the 3 recovery DVD in the laptop, but they did not start.  Finally, I used the partion (by pressing F11 at startup) to access the system recovery program.  Then I did a system restore to roll back the last Windows Update.  Windows has started, but it took awhile.  I used the PC for a week or two (backup everything!) and of course, I got the error again.  I went through the same process above, but do not restore the last update of Windows, the system does not yet recognize operating system.  Use the system restore, then rolled back the most recent update window.  System startup, but it takes a long time to start.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?  Should I do a system restore and start from scratch?

    Hi Questionme,

    You're able to boot inSafe Mode?  If the system starts in Mode safe without delays, we can eliminate the default settings and drivers for devices such as the cause and you can use theclean boot in order to identify a driver or a possible confrontational program. In addition, runchkdsk /r from an elevated command prompt (also valid for Vista) to verify the integrity of your hard drive.
