Computer that crashed; System Restore which threaten to wipe hard drive

Hi all

Today my laptop crashed. So I disconnected and tried to turn it off completely. He got to "shutting down" but does not move, so I had to leave the exhausted battery. Then I rebooted from recovery, is DVD went in safe mode and try to run the system restore. I now have a message saying:

Packard Bell Recovery DVD!

WARNING

ALL THE DATA ON YOUR HARD DRIVE WILL BE ERASED

[OK]

There is no Cancel button or anything, just an OK button. They can't be serious, can they? (And I've read since that run the system on a disk restore is a bad idea). It seems I have to press OK or let the battery die again, either disconnect the battery. What should I do?

First disconnect the battery. Now, to get into the mode safe on the hard drive of your computer.  start to boot and then press F8, and then select Safe mode.  Then you can try restoring the system from there. vader95 Windows 95-7 office 97 - 2010 Ubuntu 9.10 - 10.10

  • Windows XP system restore Boot Failure with new hard drive

    HP Touchsmart IQ546t running Windows XP Home Edition

    Here is my story:

    A few months ago my PC was informing me that a hard disk failure is imminent and how can I back up my data.

    I was able to get most of the data backed up and has continued to use the PC.

    Finally, the hard drive failed.

    Not being not able to find system restore disks, I ordered a set of HP.

    In the meantime, I was able to save the rest of my data using an external hard drive enclosure, a laptop and a backup disk.

    I used system restore discs to erase the hard drive and restore the operating system.

    After the successful restoration, I was able to boot my PC and use it for a few days, but again became imminent hard disk failure message. Yet once again, the hard drive failed and I was unable to use it.

    I decided to replace the hard drive, thinking I could install and use the system restore disks to get the installed operating system.

    I followed all the instructions, I find and could not start the machine to the point he will recognize the recovery disc. I receive a message that tells me to insert a bootable media.

    Does anyone know what I'm missing here?

    Is there something I can try to get the hard drive to boot to the point he will recognize the recovery disk?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • System Restore op after failure of HARD drive and replacement

    Hello

    I have an old laptop dv9000 with XPPro factory installed SP2, since upgraded to SP3. The hard drive failed (Seagate 80Gig). I checked with the test of the bios Setup, he said "fail" and I checked by booting from the windows installation disc CD player. He said, not found hard drive. SO, I bought a disc bytes of more 1 t (same mfr Seagate, same 5400 RPM) and installed. I have a backup network (Seagate Black armor) drive and I was able to restore the last backup. The booted cd drive the recovery disc for this program, the hard drive light blinking and it seemed to be something for 3 hours, then told it was full.

    But the new drive does not start. I've read on this forum and of the joint recommendation was to use the system provided with the laptop recovery disks. I dug through the boxes in the garage and have found the system recovery discs and my 14 cd makes system restore. :-) makes to keep unwanted sometimes. But I tried the system recovery disk and it will not start in the cd player. I get a white screen with the cursor in the left flashing top. I went back to try the recovery of Seagate disk, and now it will not start either. I tried to remove the new HARD drive. with or without a cd in the player it displays the message "No Op sysytem found." SO I think that something touched the CDdrive. But it is interesting with the blinking cursor will restart the machine, then perhaps a part of the op system is loaded.

    It is an old machine, the old system of the op. I shopped Hp store and only Windows8 available now. SO I am forced either on the cutting edge with all new bugs and learning curve, or I'm trying to get this old lady will machine. Other things I've linked, hard reset, restore the default bios.

    Ideas that you may have will be appreciated.

    Hello

    The laptop is back running with the new hard drive, Yay! and a new cd player.

    Here's what he had to, for anyone who has ever has the same problem:

    The CD player was bad. The nearest local supplier on the list for assistance parts hp gave me was a suitable replacement. I installed, and the system restore disc started and ran immediately.  I decided to check and see if the windows install disc would go and restore the sytem since I thought that I had already restored the entire C: partition. He started, but did not find the hard drive. He gave an eror message that does no drive found.  I went to the hp system restore disc and running. It took several hours reformatted the drive (by removing everything I'd put) and rebooted several times. Eventually, he came with a windows desktop computer. This is the factory installed there are over 5 years old. I installed the Seagate backup software and running. He seemed to have more options running in windows he did directly from the boot cd. One of the options was to restore the MBR. I had to find out what it was, Master Boot Record. I thought that it should be restored. The full restoration of the backup process C: took another few hours, but he finished and gave a message of the operation successfully.

    Then I rebooted and got windows, connected and got my office logon screen as it was at the time of the backup. Success.

    In the future, I'll watch that restore MBR, maybe it's there, and I missed it the first time. I have a slight nagging worry that maybe something else caused both drives to fail almost at the same time. But I'm not going to fuss with it. I hope that the machine works well for a little longer.

    Thanks to those who have tried to help.

  • How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery

    How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery because I want to recover my toshiba satellite L840 that does not respond directly to my hard drive so I put my laptop to an external HARD drive and then I want to copy a DVD recovery partition

    Your question is a bit confusing, you can boot the laptop at all? Have you tried booting in safe mode, you can make a recovery DVD set from there, the folder Toshiba.

    With the drive in the Toshiba, you should be able to use a F, F10, F11, or F12 key to activate the installation from the partition hidden started upward.

    Otherwise, you can contact Toshiba, and with the model of the product id number and the laptop for Windows, you can buy a set of disks.

    I bought a new computer, installed LR5 and import photos from a remote hard drive. Photos is finer, but all my Collections disappeared.  Is there a way to retrieve my Collections?

    The Collections are stored in the LR catalog. If you had previously copied to your catalog on the other computer to the new all your collections would have been there.

    Now that you have the images on the new computer, 'IF', they were placed in the same folder structure (IE even the folder names and locations) then copy through the original catalogue "should" include your collections. If they are in the names of different folder or on a different drive letter or name of the player, then you might be able to use the feature to locate Images to find them.

  • Re-setup of creative cloud in a computer that crashed

    I installed Clould Creative in my desktop and my laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad T530 (A) primary.  Unfortunately, the hard drive of the T530 failed.  To restore this computer to the 'good health', this would mean that creative cloud will need to be reinstalled.  Are there problems/concerns/procedures that must be taken care of prior to re - install in the machine even after a crash?

    Let me say here that, since it is a personal license, it should be possible to install the software on each computer has access to.  As long as an instance is running (and this can be easily verified), avoid any problem.  I understand that the software is actually installed locally and some of the products may be carried out without an active connection to the internet (and therefore the license can terms 'abuse'), but at the time of licensing, limiting the use of the software in a desktop computer and laptop is probably outdated.  I'm currently traveling and because my laptop main broke down, I have with me my older Thinkpad T500, of course, has no installed creative cloud.  This causes a significant problem for me.  I'm sure that I'm not the only one in the same position.

    You should be able to install correctly on your old laptop as long as it meets the necessary system requirements.  If you have previously installed and activated the software on two other computers you may receive a message you need to disable all your activations.  Once you click this button, you will then be able to activate the newly installed system.

  • A Virus infect my computer from the system restore?

    My computer has been infected recently by (I think) a kind of malware that would be redirecting My search Google results (with a warning of Google chrome that the site had a low signature) and remove Windows Defender. I tried many possible solutions on the internet, but none of them worked. In the end, I decided to do a system restore to about two days before, he started, and my computer seems to work very well.

    After the restoration of the system, I installed AVG Antivirus (paid version / pro) and did a full scan of the computer. I think he deleted something like that harmful things we found on my computer.
    Now, three days after the system restore, I've read a few articles and questions on the internet that says a system restore does not remove a virus and that she could hide in the system restore files. I don't know if this is related, but some sites will not load for me (like 'wiiublog' and 'malwarebytes' Web sites), and when I check on another site (like 'downforeveryoneorjustme'), he says that the Web sites are on the rise. In addition, some Web sites load with just the words and links, but no images.
    The virus infect my computer in system restore files? It still does damage to my computer?
    If so, is there something I need to check my files system restore (I read that you need to turn off and do another scan, but I don't want to do anything without first aid)?

    If this is the case, no matter what your problem was, it was probably not
    malware. A system restore is rarely effective in eliminating
    malware.

    After the restoration of the system, I installed AVG Antivirus (paid version / pro) and did a full scan of the computer. I think he deleted something like that harmful things we found on my computer.

    In my opinion, AVG, who was one of the best anti-virus programs
    is no longer. There are several better choices:

    For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32 or Kaspersky, if you
    are willing to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend
    (do not run more than one antivirus program) one of the following
    three:
     
    Avira AntiVir
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials
     
    You also need anti-spyware software (even if you run a program such as)
    Microsoft Security Essentials, with integrated anti-spyware capability
    It). I recommend that you download and install MalwareBytes (freeware)
    AntiMalware

    Now, three days after the system restore, I've read a few articles and questions on the internet that says a system restore does not remove a virus and that she could hide in the system restore files.

    An infection in a restore point is completely harmless, unless you
    restore from this restore point.
    The only way to remove the virus is to turn off System Restore, then again, but who's going to delete all the your restore points, not just the one (s) infected. Alternatively, you can just wait for the points that are infected at the end of the chain - a maximum of 90 days of fall.
    My preference is to wait 90 days.
