  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

  Hello

  Looks like the CD-ROM drive is a failure. Uninstall and reinstall the disc and check if this solves the problem. If the problem persists, you should replace the disk.

  To uninstall the drive from Device Manager:
  a. Click Start, then type devmgmt.msc in the start search box then press ENTER.
  b. right-click on the CD and click on uninstall.
  c. restart the computer.

• How to restart the computer in safe mode?

  Is there a way to restart the computer in safe mode UN-staged network, or at least to list computer startup options including safe mode, without having to wait for the computer to stop, then press on and hold F8 during initial computer boot?

  In particular, there is a command that I can enter from the cmd prompt?

  If it's important, I have a Dell Latitude D610 with MS WinXP Pro 2002 SP3.

  But I really want a method that works on any MS WinXP.

  You can configure your system to boot in any mode desired by using the msconfig utility.

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Msconfig

  Click OK to launch the utility.

  On the BOOT. INI tab you can add/remove options to the boot.ini file so next time XP starts, it will start in the selected mode.  XP looks at the boot.ini file to decide how it is supposed to start.  You can use the built in Help and/or a few searches on Google to learn more about msconfig.  You will need to adjust things again if you want to start in a different mode, but there would be no F8 key.

  A word of warning.  Some malicious software now recognizes when you added the/SafeBoot option in the boot.ini file on your system.  The malware knows some of the things you could do to try to find and delete this... and he won't be deleted.  He wants you to think that you need to reinstall your XP instead.

  If your system has this condition and you add the option/SafeBoot, your system unbootable ever again successfully XP from hard disk in a different mode until you remove the option/SafeBoot your boot.ini file by starting on something else (like a CD) to manually remove the switch/SafeBoot.

  The switch / SafeBoot used to be pretty, a good idea, but it isn't a good idea these days.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

  I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

• Windows automatically restarts constantly, cannot access the system restore point, cannot access the computer in safe mode

  Hi all

  For the not 24 hours I tried to access my computer in normal mode. When I turn on the pc, it says "configuration data 1 of 3 steps...". 0% complete"he never spent 0% and within seconds, it automatically restarts and starts again. It's so frustrating! I have a windows vista pc (purchased in ' 06). I can only access my desktop in SafeMode.

  I tried to perform a system restore, but not like he says "recovery disk is not the restore point selected. What should I do? I tried to manually create a restore point, but cannot access the system and Maintenance, while in safe mode. I can't do anything but literally access the internet. How can I get Windows back to factory settings it is with these limited resources? I have a Dell reinstallation DVD.

  I searched my programs and found that recently Windows automatically updated and downloaded "Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer" and "for 2007 Office system Compatibility Pack '. Now, I think it has something to do with it, because they were the most recent updates, before the pc crashed. But I also fear that it may be a virus, which has completely hijacked this PC. How am I supposed to get rid of a bug, if I can't even get the necessary antivirus?

  Sorry for the ranting, but it's so stressful when my pc is completely down. Please, please please help me. Thank you in advance for reading this same!

• Cannot start with using F8 safe mode. Of alternatives please?

  The PC will not start in Safe Mode; When you use F8, the only option available in the Boot menu is 'select the first boot device. I have the hard drive and click on "enter", but the PC then starts as usual. Can I run Safe Mode otherwise?

  There are malicious software that recognizes the/SafeBoot switch in the boot.ini file, and if both are present (the/SafeBoot and malware), the system starts up again in any mode until you remove the file boot.ini with the switch/SafeBoot.   Maybe this isn't the case here.

  Some malware knows you try to use the Safe Mode to find and eliminate and he won't you find and eliminate and will detect the/SafeBoot switch.    It will keep you from boot mode safe to fool you into thinking that you are using a Point of restoration., do a repair installation, or install your XP from scratch (neither of which is never necessary).

  The symptom of this affliction is the following (which can be something else with similar symptoms):

  Starting Windows...
  Loading your personal settings...
  Once your settings...
  End the session...
  Loading your personal settings...
  Once your settings...
  End the session...

  Just FYE (for your pleasure)...  I used to love the switch/SafeBoot, but will never suggest or recommend again because sometimes you will have a bigger (but fixable) problem :)

  Add the switch/SafeBoot can fix the symptom of the problem (now able to start safe mode), but will not fix the real problem, that of why F8 seems to be wrong or is misunderstood.

• Cannot start windows Vista in safe mode.

  I followed these instructions to start Windows 7 in safe mode:

  I tried to start windows vista in safe mode by using the following:

  1. Click on the Windows icon in the left bottom of the screen while Windows is running in normal mode.
  2. Click on the arrow located to the right of the lock at the bottom of the popup menu symbol
  3. Choose "restart".
  4. I restart the computer, press the F8 key and hold.  I tried at the beginning of the sequence to reboot and after that the light appears on the mouse, but still before the windows logo appears.
  5. Restart the computer in normal mode.
  6. I tried the key down and also tried pressing the F8 key several times both giving the same results without success.
  7. To eliminate the possibility of a bad keyboard, I switched from keyboards with the same results.

  Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

  You tap f8.

• Windows 7 Build 7600 this copy of Windows is not genuine - I can only run the computer in safe mode

  My son - under Windows 7 Home Premium - Dec 2010 laptop, purchased at Future Shop

  It has worked well for the past 2 years.  Suddenly, on Saturday, he stopped doing anything.
  That's happened?
  I don't know, but when I started upwards, normally, all I get is the 'black screen of death", with the words"Windows 7 Build 7600 this copy of Windows is not genuine ".
  I CAN'T DO anything HERE - can't make a right click, left click, CTRL ALT DEL, menu button - nothing works

  So I rebooted in SafeMode with networking - everything works fine.

  I have tried many fixes - when I read the topics - but NONE OF THEIR WORK in safe MODE
  slui.exe 4?  Does not work in safe mode
  Run?  Does not work in safe mode
  Start - computer - properties - activate windows now?  Does not come to the top, in safe mode
  However, he won't come to the top with a status or product ID
  Starter - activate windows?  does not work in safe mode
  I tried to download the windows / microsoft / genuine / validate the tool - but guess what, that didn't work either - update installation failed - error information 0x8007043C - probably does not work in safe mode - but that's all I have As
  I did a system restore - it 'worked' but ran very slow - and then when I restarted, the problem came back.
  and many others

  I ran Avast free on it - and anti-octets Malware - nothing - but I can only run in safe mode.
  Avast has some programs that run on the system re - start - but it does not start in normal mode - if none of them work

  I read a lot of topics on this - and I'm VERY FRUSTRATED

  I used another laptop - does the slui.exe 4 - and he asks me the activation key?  I can't that - not in safe mode
  I called the phone number - and talked to anyone - they told me to go through the www.howtotell.com - and report a counterfeit copy.  But it's NOT a COUNTERFEIT copy.
  OK - it's perhaps - but why it worked for 1.5 years?  And I bought from FutureShop, so should be reliable.  And I have the certificate of Authenticity on the back

  Don't forget - I can't do anything either in normal mode - but the Safemode with network works perfectly well.

  So, I don't know what to do.

  I don't think that's my problem - I bought a genuine copy, a reliable retailer.
  Anything you can do to help, would be greatly appreciated.

  I agree with this assessment.

  Hard drives come with a large number of spare sectors 'invisible' - it's only when they all well used by repair mechanisms built-in to the reader that the number of bad sectors Windows begins to increase from zero (in your case, it is a sector) means that there is already a significant degradation of the drive, and you can expect the count to start sooner or later back.

• I can only start my computer in Safe Mode - system hangs on startup after installation of updates

  Original title: UPDATES DOWNLOADED PROBLEMS to START NORMAL, MUST LOAD IN SAFE MODE - LOST AFTER 30-40 SECONDS VIDEO

  After the download and installation of updates on my desktop Gateway (FX7020) the computer freezes on me and was forced to shut down hard. After a few attempts to start the computer, I was able to get into safe mode. After some time in the exploration of the event viewer I tried out and re-start of normal BONE. I was unable to make it through the boot sequence and had to shut down hard again. I waited a while and it made back in safe mode, but this time after 25-40 sec. I lost the video, the mouse, the keyboard. Everything was running. I've read a few articles and I hope that I don't have a F... THE OS.

• start the computer in safe mode and appearing automatically jump to the top of websites

  Original title: appearing automatically jump to the top of websites and to hear the mouse click as sounds radomly
   
   
  Microsoft community.
   
  I have essentially two problems in my computer.
  (1) since almost a month my computer automatically goes into safe mode when I pass it on or restart. So, I have to change the user account to come to normal mode.
  (2) in addition to this since 5 days I noticed pop-up program (exactly which is the site web news.net ) in the right corner of my computer screen and it comes with random noise (similar to a mouse-click) that I mentioned earlier.

  I guess this program automatically installed when I tried to download another program almost a week back.

   

  I tried to remove the program using Control Panel, but it is not in the Panel.
  Then I ran a Kaspersky internet security scan (license and currently updated version) that was installed in my computer and then I ran Microsoft security scanner and none of them could picked up a problem.
  So I ran computer more secure mood.
   
  When I tried to clean the boot. I noticed only with safe mode even if the clean boot dialog box appeared options such as ok or cancel orders are not visible or they are absent (or damaged). Here, because I couldn't do the clean boot function properly.
  And I always get that previously mentioned his pop-up at random.
  So I am worrying because this could be the virus and it can harm my computer or your identity. I really appreciate if you can help me in this regard.
  Thank you
  Kind regards.
  Charef

  Please keep us updated on the issue.

  Glad to know that the issue of pop-up got sorted.

  hard drive detected problem iminent failure press F1 key to continue... After pressing F1 computer won't start in safe mode

  so I check apparently I solve the problem. I run a system check and all is fine... I reboot my computer and I get: problem hard drive detected iminent failure press F1 to continue... boots up in safe mode only... the changes ive made did nothing because when the computer reboots, it starts again in SafeMode only. but with the networking and database drivers and the DCs as startup options. nothing seems to stick to restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

  Hello

  'problem detected hard disk iminent failure '.

  The hard drive is faulty

  Back up your data > buy a new hard drive > reinstall the operating system.

  To be sure, this is the problem do the following:

  Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > find specifications of hardware in your computer (hard drive) > access the Web Hard Drive from the manufacturer site > download their diagnostic software > make a Bootable disc > test your hard drive.

• I tried to start the computer in safe mode, nothing works. All of a sudden my icon text in paint is dark. Why?

  Found the answer... the text bar is still gray but I was able to unlick

  in the toolbar and I was able to add text.  Not sure, maybe "text".

  the button was grey all along?  I don't think, but I can choose only three of

  the four options that allow a check mark in the view menu: toolbar, color and the State.  The text

  has a check, but it is gray, cannot be enabled or disabled.  Maybe I just never noticed it before.  Could

  Add text by clicking on the toolbar tools, then reclicking thereon.  Odd.  It works and that's all that I needed.
