• Cannot start the Recovery Console Windows from the installation CD

  On my MacBook I ve running in VMware Fusion 3.0.1 a Virtual Machine with Win XP Pro.

  When I reboot Win XP Pro and start again from the Windows XP Pro installation CD, I can see the "Welcome" with the menu screen

  -To install Win XP now, press ENTER

  -To repair an installation of Windows XP using the Recovery Console, press r.

  -To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.

  When I click ENTER or R, I see the message

  -The installation program did not find any hard drives installed in your computer. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.

  Today the question? In the 40 GB of the virtual machine, I have two free partitions of 10 GB and 20 GB Win XP Pro execution. Why see Setup cannot process this partition?

  I ve also installed a second Virtual Machine, but the installation of VMware Fusion not show the "Welcome" screen, but it installs both Win XP Pro.

  The installation of the recovery in the virtual race Machine Win XP Pro Console is successful, but when I start the recovery in Start Menu Console, just the screen blue 0x7B (inaccessible boot device).

  What must I do, to start the Recovery Console in VMware Fusion? Or another question: when merging does support the Windows Recovery Console?

  Wow, nothing indicates that you use a German version of Fusion that your English is excellent.  Anyway as VMware headquarters is in the United States, like me, I always provide information in English and information-specific guidelines in the VMware Fusion help files come from the English version as well as any Documentation from VMware that I reference.  I say this next part as a general and not directed comment towards you, as you have noted your using the German version... Any person requesting help must always at least include technical information referencing manufacture, make, model, version, and language other then English, material goods and software involved in issues.  We'll find a good reference for the type of information that must always be included in HOWTO: ask (and answer) Questions.

  As a much get into the BIOS if you use the Fusion 3, you don't need to enter the BIOS to change the boot device as this can be done in the settings now however to enter the BIOS for other things that need/want of press you F2 directly after starting the Virtual Machine and after having clicked on the screen but the av VM boot so fast that it's easily missed.  You can add the following settings to the file of configuration .vmx of the Virtual Machine to slow down the startup so that force once in the BIOS.

  bios.bootDelay = "3000"
  bios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE"
  

  The bios.bootDelay is in milliseconds and the bios.forceSetupOnce Boolean value is then set to FALSE, automatically.  Each of these parameters are independent of each other.

  You can find the following useful notes for this and or other uses...

  Notes: keyboard

  Different setting function, you may need to adjust various preferences keyboard to work with the function keys and or use the Fn key.

  Notes: Starting the virtual machine from CD/DVD or ISO Image

  If the Virtual Machine is not initiating the CD/DVD or ISO Image, and then select the CD-ROM in the Boot Menu.

  Engage the Boot Menu and select the CD-ROM drive...

  The bottom of the virtual machine just above the status bar after the Virtual Machine is started, it has...

  "Press F2 to enter SETUP, F12 for the start-up network, ESC for Boot Menu"

  On the status bar, it features...

  'To direct entry to this virtual machine, click inside the window.'

  BIOS flashing by is very fast so you need to work quickly however give it a try and if the Start Menu cannot be higher then the configuration of the Virtual Machine file .vmx must be edited to slow the STATION and or change the boot order.

  OK, click the big Play button on the screen of the virtual machine, and then quickly mouse click in the Virtual Machine screen and then press the ESC key to bring up the Start Menu and select the CD-ROM drive. If it boots the CD very well and if the Boot Menu does not appear, because he goes just to quick access and then try again or...

  Watch the Boot Delay section in the current user's Guide to VMware Fusion and the section of the virtual machine files of A Beginner's Guide to VMware Fusion on when the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file is and add the following lines to the file. TextEdit can be used to edit the .vmx file.

  To give more time to indulge, the Start Menu Add the following...

  bios.bootDelay = "3000".

  For, once, force the VM in the BIOS to change the Boot order in the BIOS if the CD-ROM is first add the following...

  bios.forceSetupOnce = 'TRUE '.

  ====================

  Notes: By modifying the .vmx file

  For Fusion 2.x and 3.x ctrl-click the target entry of Virtual Machine on the windows of the library of the Virtual Machine and choose Show in Finder and then Ctrl-click on the packaging of the Virtual Machine and select to display the contents of the package.

  By default in the normal Fusion 1.x virtual Fusion function file are created in the folder "~/Documents/Virtual Machines" and according to host operating system version and or Fusion worm. There may be a .localized after Virtual Machines although by default, this extension is not visible in the Finder.

  ~ Is your Home Directory.

  The files that make up the virtual machine are placed in a folder (aka Bundle and or packing) bearing the extension '.vmwarevm' which, by default, this extension is not visible in the Finder.

  Example: "~/Documents/Virtual XP.vmwarevm Machines/Windows" in the Finder would just resemble an icon named "Windows XP."

  To view the contents of the entire file "Windows XP.vmwarevm" ctrl-click (or right-click) on the "Windows XP" icon and select Show the contents of the package.

  To change the configuration file of .vmx ctrl-click (or right-click) on the "Windows XP.vmx" file and select open with > choose another... then in Application choose TextEdit.

  Note: If you use Firefox do not copy and paste the parameters if TextEdit unless you copy only the exact line and nothing else in the case, use an editor such as TextWrangler.

  ====================

  Notes: Creating an ISO Image of the CD/DVD drive

  When you use utility disk in order to have a bootable ISO Image, you must select Master CD/DVD without encryption in which case by default, it will have an extension .cdr file and in version 1.1 of the merger and later does not need to be changed in .iso, although one can if one chooses to. A default .dmg image is compressed and is not bootable, as an uncompressed .dmg will start if changed in .iso and of course the source CD/DVD should be bootable in the first place.

  To create an ISO Image using disk utility...

  1 insert the CD or DVD disc into the optical drive of your computer.

  2. open disk utility (/ Applications/Utilities/Disk utility).

  3. Select the CD or DVD drive in the list of disks and volumes.

  4. Choose file > new > "Disk Image from (name of the disc)."

  5. type a name for the disk image.

  6. choose "DVD/CD master" from the Image Format pop-up menu.

  7 choose "none" from the encryption pop-up menu.

  8. click on save.

  I tried to solve the problem with a 32 corrupt system config and when I go into the recovery console, it does not ask for any password which is one of the first things that the recovery console is supposed to ask.  When I type the command 'md tmp' to start the recovery process, it tells me ACCESS DENIED.  I have no password for the system or the administrative password.  I hope someone can help me.  Thank you very much.  I use the dell 4700 running windows XP.

  Anyway, what you can try is to get somewhere original Microsoft installation disc and try to fix it using the REPAIR option.

• How to access the Recovery Console for "fixmbr" with Toshiba Recovery DVD?

  Hello

  I searched but did not find all related messages, I start a new thread.

  I have to fix the MBR and normally you can do this via the recovery XP and then Console "fixmbr". As you may know Toshiba Recovery DVD know only in a sense - the way hard "format hdd or first partition".

  * How can I fix the MBR on the standard MBR MS when no original XP installation disk/DVD is usable - Toshiba Recovery DVD are available
  tried the XP CD from my office... but you know... it doesn´t work.

  Additional information:
  I deleted my HARD disk partition table and cannot access the first partition to a partition that would be very useful that I could try to recover this partition later - but I can't. My A200 SatPro also comes without floppy disk but can boot from USB.

  Thanks for any answer!

  Best regards
  Andreas

  Yes, the thing with the recovery console fixmbr should do the trick, and I am a bit surprised that your XP from your other computer disk does not work.

  You are not able to boot from it, or what is the exact problem? Because you will not be able to repair with your recovery disk.
  Advise you to try another original XP disc, may borrow from a friend and try again. You may need to change the boot priority to operate.

• Keyboard will not work to start the Recovery Console repair function

  I would like to use the repair feature in Windows XP Professional Recovery Console when starting Onboard or USB CD-ROM drive.  My keyboard works very well to enable F12 and select boot device.  Windows Setup starts and then loads bunch of pilots - looking... but then my keyboard won't work for select 'R' to start the Recovery Console repair.  All this started because I uninstalled a Lexmark printer and it seems that the driver Lexmark LXBTtime.dll lack now but still wants Windows to start.   So now Config\System will not load.  I saw some threads in this forum recommend that my wireless keyboard does not work - so I borrowed a USB wired keyboard - but still the same problem.  Cannot select 'R' - the keyboard light turns off and of course not recognised by Windows Setup.  Any ideas or suggestions?  In addition to the purchase of a MAC (it was my suggestion of neighbors :-)   Thanks for the review!

  Hello

  In addition to the suggestion of Daavee I would also ask you try another disk of Windows XP installation and also you can try with a keyboard five General PIN and check.

• Satellite M30: Cannot use the recovery CD - this isn't for my unit?

  Hello

  I have a toshiba am and when I tried the recoery cd, a prompt comes out saying that the recovery cd is only for toshiba M30... which is what I have!
  The cd came with the laptop and I've used it before without a problem.
  Can someone tell me what the problem with my laptop?

  Thank you.

  Hmm maybe the DMI contains the name of the laptop bad.
  In this case, recovery cannot be installed because the notebook believes the recovery for a laptop CD.

  In this case, you should ask the service point for the update of DMI

• WinXP PRO, the recovery console, could not change an attribute

  Hello, I installed the recovery console, and so far I just used it to run chkdsk. Today, I tried to change the attribute on a read only file. I typed attrib - r h mitchell. I kept getting a msg saying that the settings were wrong. I checked attrib /? and he followed correctly, I thought. I am running winxp pro svc pk 3, ie8. Thanks in advance for any help.

  Good for you.

  Someday, you'll be glad you did.

  Mitchell, is a file or a folder?

  In the Recovery Console, you do not have access to each file and folder on your system.  You cannot in all cases - this isn't how the Recovery Console.

  You can read this article:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314058

  The Recovery Console is the recovery so that he knows only about some things - do not change the attributes on files and folders.

  There are some other bootable CD, you can use for this.

  If you have some kind of issues or problems and need some ideas, trying to better describe what you try to do it and someone can help.

• How to configure "allowremovablemedia" parameter in the recovery console?

  Hello

  I recently traded a 2.5 "portable laptop HD to a new computer in order to retrieve some files. When I got to the Windows logon screen, he said I would need activate windows, before I could access the files. It now not even longer shows up this message so it connects me automatically power off when you I connection. Seeing as how I don't have another computer to place the HD, I decided to just copy the files from the HD to another location in the recovery console.

  Unfortunately, the default recovery console not allow copying the files to removable media and I read that there is a parameter of the recovery console to enable the copy on removable media 'set allowremovablemedia = true' but I also heard that is not accessible without first log on as an administrator and change some settings for security policy.

  Because the way I can't log in as administrator (or anyone else), I was wondering if there are other options to be able to copy files to removable media in the recovery console.

  The answers would be greatly appreciated.

  Create free Linux Livecd such as Knoppix and boot your computer from this CD.  AprΦs the dΘmarrage, you will have full access to your hard drive and removable USB drives or network storage.  The CD is also easy to create that downloading a ".iso" file then the function 'Burn Image' of any burning program allows you to burn a bootable CD.  You may need to use another computer to download/burn this CD.

• PC will not boot or start the recovery console

  Windows XP 2004

  AMD Athlon XP 3000 +.

  AVG 8.0

  My friend tried to jailbreak his ipod. Now his PC will not boot the OS. It will go to the screen with the options to choose each time you start upward into the safe, normally last good known etc.. Choose one of these options results when control of the PC for the IDE drives and soon after an accident to return to the screen that says "a problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer." I try to start the recovery console, but then I get a blue screen that gives the same spiel, then this Stop error message:

  STOP: 0X0000007B (0XF79BA524, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000).

  In addition, I changed the boot order in BIOS and tried to use the recovery through an ISO boot console. He ends up crashing this first screen appeared. Even if the BONE is fatal, these guys really want to the GET data out of their hard drive.

  Thank you.

  Or, if you just want to back up your data and do a clean install:

  1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd, or copy it to an external hard drive. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

  2. you can start the computer target with a Bart PE (XP only) or Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu and retrieve the data in this way. This has the additional advantage to tell you if the problems you are experiencing are hardware or software related because if the computer behaves perfectly in Linux, you know that Windows (software) is the culprit. Conversely, if the computer behaves badly under Linux, you will know that there is a hardware problem. This is general information on the use of Knoppix for the recovery of data when you do not have Windows:

  You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with enough capacity to contain your data OR an external USB hard drive. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD *. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or freeImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created and the Windows files will be visible under Linux. If you want to burn CD/DVD, there will be a Linux burning program to use.

  * If your computer has only an optical drive and you want to use this drive to burn data or need to test drive, you can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how to do it-http://www.pendrivelinux.com

• Cannot add the header HTML - CFWebstore on CF11

  Hello

  I get the error below on a new installation of CFWebstore v6.6 on CF11. I used a previous version of CFWebstore on CF7 and CF9 without problem. Looking for suggestions...

  Cannot add the HTML header. ColdFusion is unable to add the header specified in the output stream. It's probably because you used to define one of the ColdFusion Cookies of Session or authentication cookie. To do this, please use configuration at the application server level. The error occurred on line 213.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  I found this answer:

  To resolve this issue, connect to Coldfusion Admin, go to the memory Variables and uncheck "Disable the update from Coldfusion cookies using tags/functions of Coldfusion." Memorize your settings, and then restart your Web site.

• Cannot open the application "Mail" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported

  I work on a MacBook Pro mid 2012

  Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz

  OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

  The Mail app suddenly quit and when I tried to resume, I got this message

  "Cannot open the application"Mail"because the PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

  This also happens with the "Maps" app

  All Mac software are up to date, but "Mail" has been working fine since my last update that was awhile ago.

  I am confused to say the least. Suggestions? Thank you!

  If you do a Get Info (command - I) on Mail and Maps applications, what version numbers do you see?

  Try a reboot.

  Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

  Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

  Isolate a problem by using a different user account

  If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

  Safe mode - on El Capitan

  Start Mode without failure-El Capitan.

• How to access the Recovery Console

  Hey, it's all messed up with my Toshiba Satellite M40.
  I had a problem with "missing or damaged file" when loading Windows XP.
  Well, I found a solution - boot cd support, press r etc.
  But this manufacturer got that one option - all format and reinstall.
  But I have very important files there.
  All I want to do is to access the recovery console to repair my leader (vga866.fon). How can I do that. Help, please

  [Edited by: admin on July 15, 2007 18:50]

  Hello

  do not reinstall the entire system. Why you don t try the following:

  Download the 'Ultimate Boot CD 4 Windows' tool (UBCD4Win), burn it to a CD, start and then just copy this file located on the CD under X:\windows\fonts on your disk--> C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\

  After that, you should be able to boot your system again.

  Have a nice weekend
  See you soon

• How should I proceed with the Recovery Console?

  I was stuck in the loop of safe mode. F8 has me on the screen "Disable automatic reboot in case of system failure".  From there, I got the blue screen.  It read "unmountable_boot_volume". Also, the background reading, "Stop: 0 x 000000ED (0 x C0000032, 0x00000000, 0x82B69E30, 0x00000000).»  restaring, brings me to the loop.  I was able to get to the recovery console with a manufacturer to reinstall the drive. I now have a c prompt.  What should I do now?

  Are you go in the XP Recovery Console using the unspecified manufacturer reinstall disk?

  You must run a chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console.

  Here's a thread that should help you to go there and also tell you how to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console if you are not 100% sure what you have for the media:

• When I try to access the Recovery Console, "Welcome to Setup" screen does not appear and it asks me to install on a partition... Help

  My office has the continuous loop reboot of Windows XP SP3 ("UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" STOP 0x000000ED - 0x8A8EB7B8). When I put my Windows XP Pro installation CD to access the recovery console to make the steps required to solve the problem. The "Welcome to Setup" screen ever comes back to press 'R' to arrive at the RC. Instead a screen comes up that says, "the following list shows the existing partitions and space unpartitioned on this computer." Then, he gives me the ability to press ENTER to install Windows XP, press C to create a partition, or D to delete a partition.

  Why can't I to the Recovery Console to fix the reboot loop?
  Most importantly, I lost some data on my hard drive? If it won't let me even get to the RC?

  I found a solution to my problem and it worked!

  If anyone else has this problem follow these steps:

  Click on this link and follow the instructions to make a CD of Windows XP Recovery Console. http://www.proposedsolution.com/Downloads/Download-Windows-Recovery-Console/

  Then, when you start using the CD, this...

  1. When you see the "Welcome" screen
  2. press on 'R' to use your Recovery Console to repair the installation
  3. Type "chkdsk/r" and press "enter." CHKDSK will analyze and repair your hard disk. Type "Exit" once this process is complete.

  Your computer will restart and should be fixed. at least mine was.

  I hope this helps!
