Cannot find the operating system at startup

Using my Vista PC, I installed XP-Pro(32bit) disk a HARD tour, (which HARD drive has been correctly removed from the target computer), but now my Vista PC can not find any OS.

(I HOPE a different permutation - thanks.)

If you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

See you soon.

  • Hi, what are all the ongoing processes in the operating system during startup itself?

    Hello

    I want to know, what are all the ongoing processes within an operating system during startup/boot.
    Why system processes are always on.
    explain on the windows registry.

    In the order:

    Google each a wisht learn you more.

    Certain system processes are required for the various aspects of the machine - there are a lot of things to allow you to move the mpouse pointer and click on this shortcut and start the process related to it...

    You need to know about the registry of windows at this time - in view of two other queries.  It's just an honest observation.

  • Cannot start the operating system

    Hi everyone, I've seen many similar scenarios. Not sure if mine is unique. I do not get a syntax error as others, and this was not due to the update of windows. Our suddenly stopped working.  I tried knocking PF12 w/out of the options for safe mode and couldn't get to a MSDOS command prompt I just get blank screen.  I have the CD to our computer that comes with it when we bought there are records of the operating system, but do not say recovery or restart the disk label so I didn't know if she would it reboot or rewrite it. All ideas and comments are greatly appreciated.

    Tell us the brand and model of the PC and what version of XP (Home, Pro, or MCE) runs as well as the Service Pack level.

    Do you have critical data on the backup computer?

  • BlackBerry 9550 smartphones - cannot load the operating system and a re-boot loop

    Sorry if this is going to be a long post.

    I've been running OS 428 and a hybrid (428 based) since it was leaked without a hitch. 2 weeks ago, my 9550 rebooted on its own with a JVM ERROR 534 (I think it's the code because the screen just turned white with the error message and then rebooted on its own). He never started up properly then. The boot process dates back to about 3/4 of the way then the FMV of error appears again then re - start. A batt pull does not help.

    I wiped and loaded (loader.exe) operating system but when loading cod, it will again restart (reboot occurs when email.cod is loading). Tried several times and never loaded properly. I tried a load OS 428 right and it went well. When it is started successfully, I wiped the device and loaded the hybrid that I used before and everything was fine. When filtered 451, I upgraded and everything is fine - for a week!

    He has just restarted on its own again. I think with the same JVM error code! I'm unable to load the operating system using loader.exe. I even tried the "loader.exe /nojvm" switch does not. I wiped with Jl_cmdr or BBSAK, still no go. I then used DM BB. I loaded OS 320 and loaded correctly. Then I wiped and loaded the OS. It is not load or when it loads successfully, the JVM error still appears 3/4 of the way of the boot process.

    So when I load OS 320, it will load fine even after a battery pull. If I use OS 428 or 451 (both narrowed via Shrink-a-BONE), JVM error no longer appears when using the device or during the startup process. Don't forget not that previously I was using either straight (shrunken) 428 or 451 and a hybrid with no problems.

    I decided to try a derelict OS 451 and used the "Platform.alx" of OS 320 file. It works so far! Pulled the battery about 4 - 5 times already and loaded all my apps and no JVM error for about 2 days. I tried right OS 320 and he also re - will start on its own several times a day.

    It looks like completely wipe the device using BBSAK, Jl_cmdr and DM BB do not really completely clear the device.

    What could have caused the reboots and error JVM?

    EDIT: I tried to wipe the device using the erase option in the security options. The status bar has reached 100% and then restarting the device, the FMV of error pops up again and my 9550 goes back to a continuous process of reboot (even pulled the battery).

    EDIT: I tried the command line "javaloade.exe usb - cloth" to wipe the device and the OS loaded (using loader.exe /nojvm) very well. In the end, shippers said "updated successfully". The unit restarted and about 3/4 of the way - another jvm error! I removed the battery and wait a few minutes before re - insert and is currently the starting now... Will update what's going to happen...

    EDIT: Yes! It finally starts. Will try an another battery pull... 1/4 of the way in which the boot process - another JVM error! Pulled the battery and restart... Error JVM still about 50% in the boot process.

    EDIT: Can't get any OS to load using 'loader.exe' or 'loader.exe /nojvm. It stops during email.cod loading, then restarts. I was able to load OS 320 well via BB DM. problem is when I click on Options, error: "error starting net_rimm_bb_options_app: symbol KeywordFilteredScreen.» KeyChar "not found" is my watered device? Help, please. Thank you!

    EDIT: I tried to load the operating system by:

    -remove the battery.

    -Connect to the PC.

    -Command prompt: command /nojvm loader.exe

    -When it says connection to the device and the battery with a red 'X' icon is displayed, I re - insert the battery.

    -The operating system loads very well but are unable to properly start like 3/4 of the progress bar startup occurs an error in the JVM and then reboot again. Help!

    --> Was able to start properly after a second reboot not forced. Will try a battery pull... JVM error again... Will allow it to boot on his own w/o a battery pull...  Error JVM... Removed the battery, re - insert... Error JVM... allowed to start on its own... Error JVM!... I remove the battery and reinsert after 5 minutes... JVM error yet... What is it recharges without end?

    Just had my 9550's replaced and all of the good mother!

  • In the Windows error recovery process, cannot find an operating system

    When the System Recovery Options box asking the OS to repair, nothing is displayed.  Does this mean that I have to restore the machine to its original configuration?  And if that's the case is anyway to recover a part of the HDD before restoring data?

    Try this to back up your data before reinstalling:

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    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 1st 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.

    See you soon.

    Hi MariePARKS,

    ·         When exactly do you get the black screen?

    ·         What is the exact error message or error code?

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: You can disconnect all external devices except the keyboard and mouse, then check if the issue has not changed.

  • Satellite Pro S500-10F - cannot reinstall the operating system

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro S500-10F provided with Windows 7 Professional with downgrade rights (and DVD) to XP Pro. I downgraded to XP Pro and everything worked fine (I did it on a number of similar machines).

    Then Windows started to have problems and crashing with BSOD. I decided to rebuild the machine to reinstall Windows XP Pro from DVD supplied with the machine. The thing is it gets 2% and then gives the BSOD.

    I thought it was the hard drive because there was some disk errors when it removed and put it outside of another machine, so replaced. Still the same problem. I tried to connect external USB DVD drive and boot from that. He did indeed start the external drive but then for some reason, try to copy the files of its own DVD player. I tried to reinstall Windows 7 Pro of the DVD to the top together, I created, this failed. I tried to install Windows XP Pro since version box and have failed.

    At this stage do not know if DVD player or what. He tried to build start player flash, but even if the system seen as boot option, then tried to boot from the network?

    Any help much appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    To be honest I put t think that it is what you can do. You have tested the recovery disk and a new HARD drive, but the same happens. So that would mean it's hardware related problem.

    TOSHIBA recovery disk contains an image pre-tested all drivers and tools. This means that you can still install Windows recovery disc and it will work. If it's not (like in your case) it something wrong with the hardware.

    If your laptop is still under warranty valid, you can bring it to a service provider allowed in your country and guys can fix this for free because of the guarantee. Get in touch with technicians and explain your problem, they will sort it out for you. ;)

    I think this sentence is the key description resembles your laptop could overheat and automatically stops.
    Why is this happening? Well, the laptop could overheat temperature high inside the laptop. It will stop automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.

    My long experience, a clogged cooling fans could be responsible for the bad cooling and the temperature high.

    So what to do?  :|
    In my opinion, he must clean the fans to get rid of dust and debris.

    The jet of compressed air is very useful tool and could help you to clean the fans.

    Hope this helps to get the laptop running.
