Cannot start Windows Server R2 2012 after sysprep

Hello!

I wanted to create a complete picture of my operating system (Windows Server 2012 R2) with installed applications and configuration done, so I ran sysprep to prepare my system for Imaging. But I chose a reboot instead of the stop option option and now my system is unable to start. Basically it stuck on the location screen (with adjustment for keyboard and so on), when I click on 'Next' nothing happens, what I can see "apply these settings" but it looks like she never applies.

What can I do to solve this problem without reinstallation of the system?

P.S. I have no backup :( I know, it's really stupid and maybe my fatal mistake, but now it's a good lesson for me...

Thanks in advance!

  • New TS140 - cannot get Windows Server 2012 demo of R2 to install

    Hello

    I recently bought the TS140 and attempted to install the demo of Windows Server 2012 available from Microsoft.  I completed the following steps:

    (1) engraved an image ISO for the demo on a DVD.

    (2) load on startup the thinkserver DVD format the disk, download updates and prepare the installation.

    (3) at the end, I put the DVD in the drive.

    Despite the DVD being burned successfully, the guard TS140 eject the DVD and asking for the disc.  Issues related to the:

    -Someone installed via the demo and can give advice on the process?

    -Is the DVD of the right way to go or should I go with another method as a USB?

    Sorry, I'm use to the insertion of a DVD and occurring start installation.  Try to install after the initial drive of Lenovo is causing me some confusion.

    Thanks for your help!

    First of all, thanks to all for their persistence I managed to do the work.

    Basically, if you download the ISO of the evaluation version, YOU cannot USE the native Windows ISO burner.  When I copied on a drive and had Windows burn, it just don't understand the disc.  However, when I used the Windows store software specially set up the server:

    http://wudt.codeplex.com/

    He worked very simply.  I am extreme newbie, so it was difficult.  If you have purchased a TS140 and try Windows Server, follow these steps:

    (1) copy eval on the Microsoft site.  They have like 10 files to download, but you only need one ISO.  I don't know how the other files.

    (2) use the ISO burner of the Microsoft store - its registered for use with Windows 7 but worked like a charm.

    (3) use the boot (ThinkServer Easystart) disc that comes with your server, or as a recommended download the most recent copy.

    4) go through the steps.

    (5) when you are prompted, insert the new drive of Windows Server R2 2012.

    (6) it must go through the installation.

    Once again, thank you for not giving up, and I hope that my instructions about help an absolute beginner.  Probably simple for experts from the server, but I've never used Windows Server (other than Windows Home Server which was awesome, but abandoned!)

  • Satellite A660-158 - cannot start Windows

    Toshiba Satellite A660-158

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A660-158. It has served me less than a week. I think it's the broken hard drive.

    My problem:
    Once I start the computer, it started and has worked for a while, but suddenly, there was an error reading that I didn't have the time. Computer has been restarted. And does not load... Until the boot mode does not reach. But the initial test (with logo) succeeded. Takes a long time and finally gives an error:
    -----
    Cannot start Windows. Maybe it was because of the recent small difference is the hardware or software configuration. To fix this error:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc, restart the computer (the complete transmission wasn't)
    2. choose the language settings, and then click Next.
    3. Select "repair your computer".
    If this disk is missing, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer (he turned and said to wear to the DEPOT, but I do not have this feature).

    Hey,.

    And why do you think the hard drive is faulty?
    Have you ever tried the repair your computer option? Usually with this option you can restore factory in a few minutes.

    Also if you have the Toshiba recovery disc you can also restore the factory of this disc. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. You need to do a few clicks only, installation with all the drivers and tools happen automatically.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

  • Cannot start Windows, Windows Setup does not detect the hard disk, Bootmgr is misiing

    I have a few problems on my laptop [Acer 3810 t]

    -The first problem
    My mobile give me screen "cannot start windows' who have 2 choices: run the Startup Repair tool and boot normally. I chose to fix it, but nothing happens and stuck "starting windows" and gives unmountable boot volume 'blue screen '. the Dungeon of blues screen appear (for laptop is a not restart). So I turned off my phone and turn it back on it. the "could not start" screen again and I chose to start normally. but the result is negative. My portable Dungeon cannot start windows. Because of that I am using the advanced boot option and choose all the boot type such asit cannot load the safemode, last configuration etc, but the result is the same, you cannot start windows. in safe mode, its stuck in loading fileinfo.sys. I do not give up to try again with the advanced boot option. until I have a bad situation. My laptop can only 1 file in safe mode and blues screen do not appear again (my laptop only return at the beginning of start or restart)

    -The second problem
    because it cant solved, I want to reinstall my laptop. My OS is Vista 32 bit (pre-installed). I want to install the new operating system, windows 7. I use Dsik Flash bootable USB to install Windows 7. But in the BIOS, it is detected as a USB HDD. So I set my BIOS to load USB HDD to the first order. the installation can be done, but only until the "start Setup" screen and its deadlock. I have it wait up to an hour, but nothing happens. So I'm going to BIOS, change SATA mode to IDE mode AHCI. Then load the USB and go "installation program start screen. but the new problem is the installation of window does not detect my hard drive. So I can not choose the place to install the operating system. I have to load the driver, but I did not. Again to load the configuration to AHCI and IDE, until I get my HDD can detected in IDE mode. So I think I can move easily, I choose custom installation and choose the hard drive to install the operating system. But unfortunately, at the beginning of the process, after choosing the OS, the Installer gives error if installation location the installation failed. (I forgot the error message)

    -The third problem
    So far, I can't spend 'startup begins' as well in mode IDE and AHCI. Also bootmgr in my hard disk is missing, so I can't go to move the startup repair or the startup option in my HDD as before

    What is the error code that you got with blue screen?

    I think that there is a problem with your drive HARD check that by contacting acer...

    Everything installs correctly, Setup detects 32-bit DSN pointing to our SQL 2008 R2 server and database connectivity works. However, as soon as I am scanning an ESXi host available updates the vSphere VMware Update Manager service fails and a dmp file is created under C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware update Manager\Logs.

    Just to be sure I installed Crossover on another server in W2K12R2 own, but the end upwards with exactly the same problem. When I install the product on a Windows Server 2008 R2, it works very well.

    According to the VMware 5.5 VUM compatibility matrix works with W2K12R2, but this isn't for me.

    I enclose the vum-vmware-server log file that contains information about the accident of service.

  • Satellite L40 - cannot start Windows

    Hello

    hope you can help, my computer Toshibal L40 laptop on commissioning began by displaying the following error message:

    * "Cannot start Windows. a recent change in the software hardware might be causing... » *

    It offers the possibility of:

    I lost the recovery disk, but attempted to load the recovery console by using a windows XP disk, but it gave me error message more. Advice would be very welcome.

    For the installation of Vista you don't need SATA driver but for Windows XP Home edition you need. Is no problem at all.

    The question is what you want to do now? If you want to use Vista just use recovery media and you will have factory again.
