  My MacBook froze during the installation of the update at El Capitan and now I am unable to connect to any except the screen of the guest user. There was a message of panic, and somewhere in there, he said no set of OS. I tried to start without danger, it does not work either.

  This general situation may be similar to what is mentioned in this sequel to thread of the CSA

  and if the remedy is to use instructions; detailed and I hope they are correct...

  Re: Restart fails after installation of El Capitan help!

  Or you can try and see on the repair of the system and then if your disk utility can

  See the Macintosh HD, as a boot volume, you could restart from OS X Recovery to

  the Mac system, to see if this solves the problem. There may be more than one cause.

  You could try and boot into OS X Recovery, utilities out there, and other options are available.

  • OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

  This example uses a special partition on the hard drive of recovery which is not in the

  same disc that the Mac OS X section; However if your hard drive is missing, these other

  items may also be at risk. You must have and maintain backups of your duplicate content

  on the external storage drives closed; In addition, a Time Machine backup helps to restore.

  • Tips for OS X - using HD recovery:

  {Using the utility disc and other tools can be done from the boot OS X Recovery volume

  Beware of the fact these tools can also delete or reformat your content; wiping.}

  Don't know what to say; you could see visiting an Apple store with genius if

  There is an official store. Usually for best time planning you would contact them for an appointment.

  • Make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store Genius Bar
  • Find an Apple authorized service provider
  • https://locate.Apple.com/country - Apple - find places - selector of country (if outside the U.S.)

  Or if there is no official retail Apple Store with genius, the following suggestion would be to contact

  a service provider authorized Apple, an independent specialist who is qualified in the repair of Apple.

• Computer froze during the upgrade/installation of windows xp

  I have windows xp home edition on a Dell desktop computer. I had problems with the computer freezing and then lost the connection to the internet 3 days ago. So I decided to reinstall windows xp from cd. However, I have chosen upgrade, rather than new install (because it was the suggested method). Now my computer will not complete the upgrade but is frozen during the installation. It remains to 32 minutes until the end. I can't seem to start, can't control/alt/delete or whatever it is. If I unplug my computer and launch it then again once, it resumes where it left off. How can I break out of this loop and start over with a fresh install? Thank you.

  OK, it would have been better to have all the information on this machine in one place. I guess your question in the other post you made about activation is for the same computer? If this is correct, then the information I gave you in your previous post is not applicable.

  With Dell computers, using Dell reinstallation media, you don't need to enter a product key during installation and the operating system is already activated.

  If you use a different XP installation disc that was not provided by Dell, this is why you are experiencing activation problems. If you do not have a Dell brand installation CD, you will need to use a manufacturer OEM generic system disk and use the product key on the label of CA certificate on your computer. If you use a copy of XP retail, you would use the product key on the CD to copy the retail case. In the case of the generic OEM drive, it must be the same version of XP that came with your computer (Home/Pro/MCE).

  All that being said, your sound of questions as a material. Did you leave all devices attached during the repair facility? If so, this can also cause the problem. Unplug everything except (obviously) your mouse and your keyboard when doing an operating system install. You should ensure that the material is solid before attempting to install again.

  Understand that all your data will be lost. If you save before, try to start with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix and copy the files to an external hard drive. Then download a utility from drive to drive mftr site. or use a third-party (Acronis Disk Director, Knoppix gparted) start Disk Manager to delete partitions on your hard drive and format the drive.

  Now, do a clean install of Windows, preferably using a Dell XP installation CD. Install Dell drivers for all your hardware when you're done, restore data from backups. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer" error during the upgrade of Vista in Windows XP

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1505, that is running Windows XP Media Center Sp3. I'm doing a place in upgrading to Vista since the disks to upgrade Dell... Everything's fine until the 'Expansion of the files' [27%], then the installation fails with this message: "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot continue. Any changes made to your computer during the upgrade". I did a google search for a fix that involves changing a value in the registry in the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E976-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} for example change the value to PartMgr Upperfilters. Unfortunately, this value was the default for my registry key changes could be made. Some other fixes involved the renaming of Upperfilter.bak, for Upperfilters unfortunately this .bak value does not exist in my registry.

  I tried to boot from the disk of Vista and changing the msconfig for a selective startup but without result.

  In addition, the stall even appears at a similar point when you try to upgrade to Windows 7. Is it because of the presence of hidden Media Direct and Dell restore partitions? Compatibility Assistant programs for the two operating systems found nothing significant. Anti virus has been disabled during the installation procedure. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello

  Not quite, but pretty close. Media Direct could not lock the boot sector. It must be a BIOS lock or a mechanism of protection provided by your antivirus software.  Given that, I would check your program settings then for all that prevents changes to the boot sector. You may find more easy just uninstall it and reinstall it after the upgrade. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

• Qosmio G30-153: no drivers were found during the installation of Vista

  Hi I tried to install Vista on my computer, but there are some bad things. I just insert the Vista CD and restart my machine.

  Vista has started to install and I have reached the point where Vista should find the drivers to choose, but its tells me no drivers were found.

  I took it to the Agency in Syria and they told me that this (Qosmio G30-153) machine comes with vista only.
  If you have upgraded from XP applies to the Qosmio only.

  I think there is another problem, but they could not solve it because I told them when I go to the configuration of the system, I found the drivers, but the names are different.
  Driver (C) named Raid 0, but the names of the drivers D Jbod and I think they should be eponymous.

  If they are different name, but they don know what I mean.
  do you know how to change the name of the pilots and why they are different.

  I hope you can help me and I will answer you on my email address if you don't mind my ([email protected]) is

  Thanks alotttttttt Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  Here is no problem at all. Visit the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page

  You will find RAID driver. Please download this driver and use it for the installation of the OS. Unmanned RAID HDD is not visible, but after the hard disks in RAID driver loading will be visible and you can continue the installation of the OS. RAID driver can be saved to USB.

• "WindowsUpdate_800705B3" "WindowsUpdate_dt000" error during the update to Vista SP1

  Windows Vista.

  Dell XPS M1530 laptop.

  NVidia GeForce 8600 M GT graphics card.

  I tried to upgrade to Vista SP1 at least 10 times.   It retores the previous version every time.   He died in post installation configuration phase each time, before and after the reboot.

  I did this update with Windows Update and manually with the full 400MB download from Microsoft.  I cleaned the SWDistribution directory.

  I did it with a clean boot. I tried with Norton Antivirus discharged.   I have removed all unnecessary applications.

  I have updated all drivers, including a complete set of video drivers directly from NVidia.

  I ran all stand-alone hardware diagnostics.   I have run chkdsk at startup.   I ran sfc.  I ran MS virus scan.

  All these have been recommended in the forum posts.   None worked.    Many think 800705B 3 error is a video driver issue, but I'm now on the most recent.

  I wish that the program of MS Windows Update would report is just a mistake 800705B 3.   Why is there no error message with the error number?

  Help, please.

  This problem has been resolved by running the diagnostic MS tool and find that some system files have been corrupted.   We had to upgrade (IE reloading) Vista version original DVD.  Then the SP1 and SP2.    Thanks to MS Chat technology!
