CPQ 2100 Error Msg PXE E61 but when disc is removed and connected to USB all is OK. Win XP

I have a laptop old but used very useful - Compaq Presario 2100.  He had wind Xp on it.  I tried a system recovery using the recovery CD something was wrong.  Now, I get the error message.  System does not recognize the CD Rom or hard disk.  I removed the hard drive and use a usb adapter to connect it to another system.  The disk formatted and checked very well use sea Seagate tools.  When I put the drive in the laptop, I get the same error.  The drive is a Seagate 40 GB model ST 94011 A.  Is there anyway to make it bootable from another system, and then reinstall it in the Compaq.  I don't know why it does not recognize.  It does not appear in the bios. No idea what went wrong and how I can not get the drive recognized again.

Hello:

This error means that the PC can not find the hard drive (no boot device), it is not be seen in the BIOS.

You have the error because the last thing that the PC has attempted to boot from was the network card and of course, there no device connected start there either.

My assumption would be that the drive controller on the motherboard has conked, since you know the hard disk works.  Or the hard drive has an unspecified problem.

Even if you were able to load the operating system on the drive from another PC, which will not make the hard disk appears in the BIOS.

You have a known portable work hard drive that you can test to see if it can be recognized in the BIOS?

    I use upstream, that allowed color spaces are CMYK. When I place a RGB file, preflight reports an error (very good). But when I add the Fx (effect) does not forward flight "Bevel and Emboss", report an error, which is really annoying. How can I fix? I like to have 'The transparency blend space' on "Document CMYK" and in the preflight profile "Fusion of transparent space" required: "CMYK".

    Interestingly, if I copy and paste your images into a new doc 2 points scored.

    I think that the solution is to assign the CMYK printer profile in the document. In this case, you no longer control upstream for RGB color, because by default it is converted to CMYK space correct on export or print output.

  • Equium A100-147 with error message "PXE - E61 Media Test Failure"

    Hi all

    I Equium A100 out of warranty due to the error message "PXE-61 Media Test Failure" I took it to my local computer Lamplighter, told me my Toshiba 60 GB hard drive failed (MG6034GSX) and replaced by another 120 GB model.
    I tried to reload the Toshiba Recovery disk system, reload reached 75%, then the messages come in saying that it does not find a lot of operating system files.
    Thinking the recovery disc was faulty, I got a replacement from Toshiba, and this reload disk gave the same problem.
    I loaded XP Professional on the 120 GB HARD drive and it works OK but I'd like to load original as it came with XP MCE.

    Is my problem the 120 GB HDD which should be as original 60 gb and a HDD for Toshiba genuine to accept the recovery media?

    Does anyone have any ideas, I would really appreciate your help.

    See you soon

    Hello

    Don t think that it is a problem of restore CD is normally impossible
    I think that the problem might be related to the HARD drive.

    First of all, you need to access the BIOS and should set the defaults (don't forget to save it).
    Then try to format the whole HARD drive and also remove the created partitions.

    Then you could try again installing the OS from the recovery CD.
    Usually, this procedure works fine

    Good luck

  • Windows updates has shown installation but when checked 0kb installed and the icon was missing from the tray (Win XP sp3 IE6)

    original title: another missing Windows updates missing yellow icon (Win XP sp3 IE6)
     
    I'm having the same problem also.

    Windows XP sp3 with IE6. All updates applied excluding this last batch with the numbers you mention, except for two of them.
    I can tell you that, just as usual, the yellow icon was present when downloading these updates were. Then he disappeared after that that they have been fully downloaded.
    Interestingly, I went to Microsoft Update to check to see the new updates and found downloaded after checked for updates, BUT when I dropped down the details for them they all showed 0 KB!
    Here are the updates, that he sent to me (last
    Ko
    2559049
    2567680
    2566454
    2562937
    8900380
    2570222
    2536276
    and the MSE customer update kb 2544035.
    The only one who showed no 0Ko was a MS Security Essentials client update number kb2544035 with 7kb.
    I tested two updates from win xp to see if they would be set up and they did, here are the numbers... .kb8900380 and kb2567680
    kb8900380 is the edition of August 2011 of malware removal tool.
    I tested and found that it was actually installed and worked.
    Just one thing. I noticed on restart every time the yellow icon appears in the status bar but only flashes for a second or two, then
    disappears once more. I tried to quickly click on it but it does not.
    I then checked the taskbar customize notification and I found that it presents itself as an element of the past and said that it is associated with the download of updates.

    Syed N:

    Thanks for your suggestions.
    I wanted to post back to update everyone on my current situation.
    I was going to ask your manual correction of the WSUS... when I got home tonight. However, at the start of my PC tonight the Automatic Update icon (yellow) was actually download updates once more and things work like they are supposed to. After the download, the icon shows the balloon which informs you that you have updates available and when I clicked on the icon it was admissible and that it took me to the menu as usual at the.
    Then, I tested several updates in the menu of the AU and downloaded. They were installed properly and allow them left unchecked the icon stay in the tray as usual.
    I don't know what happened, but things are now correct.
    You have an overview on why things "fixed", I would be interested to know the why of it. !!!!!!! It is interesting to me.
    Maybe the MS is really followed this site and or you guys relay these flaws in MS for the correction.
    Thanks for your suggestions, I've forgotten to be able to reset the update components!
    Finally, Syed:
    If you can relay the suggestion to MS. I always liked Windows and like the superior ability I have to control aspects of it unlike OSX (Apple MAC) however the link low is a win (including 7) WIndows update mechanism. I was lucky for me and my family, I'm enough common sense to know how to apply updates to avoid the problems of the operating system, but not everyone has this education and too many times same own OS Win with very little in option programs/software and hardware drivers downloaded) have more up-to-date flaws then seems reasonable.
    I would like to see MS improve WSUS and also more importantly still provide and ENCOURAGE users to take and the advantage of teaching material that MS can offer users to consumers.
    PA bear:
    Also thank you for your suggestions. I didn't know that MSE is a culprit in this issue, but you never know.
