Dead in the water and stuck to select F1 or F2

Windows xp home edition with Dell Dimension 4300 desktop.  I'm completely stuck on the select line of F1 or F2.  I have reset the BIOS to the latest version A06 and also replaced battery.  While there, has blown sheep of dust from the fan and checked all the electrical connections and cables.  Re-broken in memory.  Luckily, I backed up all the files on a disk before being completely stuck and I have a laptop that I can use.  But I miss my office.  Should I reinstall Windows XP Home Edition?

Primary transmission BIOS 0 said peripheral unknown or sometimes offshore; primary transmission 1 is disabled; secondary drive 0 is the CD-ROM drive and secondary drive 1 is the CD-Rom drive.  Boot sequence is also 1.  Floppy drive 2.  IDE CD-ROM device.  I don't know if these settings are correct, but they are the courses in my BIOS.  I tried e Alt, Alt f and b Alt also.  Any suggestions appreciated because I am dead in the water.

It is always best to do a clean reinstall and not a recovery or repair install, your manual should have instructions and you don't want to do a reinstall on a bad drive, here are some sites that you can check.

  • I dropped my phone in the water and now he has red lines?

    I got out of the car and my phone fell and was placed on the concrete and then slid into the gutter where there was running water. I put it in the rice as soon as I got home and it was there for about 14 hours. I also put in charge while he was in the rice. It turned on for awhile, but now whenever I have try and turn it on a big red line appears in the middle of the screen with the little ones on each side and a bruise on the left side. Is the red and blue lines because I dropped it on concrete or because there is water in it.

    my iPhone screen 6a stopped working after that it has been corrected for water damage. silent\vibration iPhone button working I tried to change the screen but it seems that the piece of hardware that connect the screen his works not showing me the white and blue lines.

    I'm sure that his works, but the screen does not.

    so is there anyway that I can control my iPhone on a Mac or BC? I tried to connect it to iTunes but it will take oped the access code. the access code can be opened in the computer?

    I need the data in it.

    Thank you

    and excuse my English

    Hello and welcome on the Apple forums.

    I'm sure that the connector of the LCD screen is broken. You need to replace the entire façade of the phone unfortunately.

    Control your phone, is impossible without your password.

    It can be flown in DFU or Recovery mode and do a restore in order to disable the pascode, but you lose anything stored in it.

    If photos, music, contacts, calendar, mail, messages, or stuff like that is what you want to get through iTunes, I highly recommend you to visit:

    http://icloud.com Log in and see all your data in there (if you had an iCloud ID associated with the phone and you have not disabled auto backup.)

    You can also use a projector app screen if it let's do you that.

    Google is your friend in this case.

    Hello

    I suggest you to check with advance startup options, whether you are able to start in safe mode, last known configuration watch etc. If you are able to boot then do a restore of the system from the link below.

    a. restart the system and keep tapping F8 until you reach the start menu.

    b. Select safe mode or safe mode with network or last good configuration in the list and press ENTER.

  • TRIED TO INSTALL VISTA SP1 NOW I'M DEAD IN THE WATER

    I am running Vista Home Premium 32-bit on a Dell desktop computer. A month ago, I came across a few major problems with my computer.  I couldn't get out of safe mode, programs are not run properly, blah, blah.  With a lot of help, I finally could get all back to what I thought was normal.  I ran antispyware, antimalware & and with other tweeks & fixed I have not noticed problems for about a week.

    So last night while on the computer, I got the message that Windows is ready to install an important update.  It was SP1.  I usually wait until the middle of the night & let Windows automatically install the updates but I thought why wait, then I started the installation.  He said that it could take several hours, I went to bed and I forgot about it.

    This morning I wake up to see that the monitor is all black except for a single line of printing:
    !! 0xc01a001d! 37354/98242 (\Registry\Machine\components\derivedata...)

    This printing line flickered sort of as he wants, but he was stuck.  I failed to continue or stop so I finally did what was once called an illegal arrest... I don't know if there is a new term for this, but I think you know what I mean.  When I turned my computer back on, I got the message that something caused my computer do not close properly, perhaps a new program or software, and he suggested that I have let Windows find & try to fix the problems.  I clicked on that and the blue bar began to run through the progress window.  He says that it can take several minutes.  Well 2 hours later nothing had changed.  He was always doing exactly the same thing.  He wouldn't let me cancel so I let it run half an hour.  Then I finally made another "illegal stop."  When I turned the computer back on I chose normal startup to the top even if the computer suggested I have start the repair program.

    Now I know whence the line of print that I mentioned before.  The screen was black except that it begins to show all the things that are installed on the computer.  At least, I guess that's what it is.  It was like when your computer is running antispyware or something & all files are being checked.  In any case, it's exactly the same thing that what I pointed out, it was on my computer first thing this morning except that it stopped at 28599/98242.  He has not moved or changed except it flashes as he wants to spend but cannot.

    What is the cause & do - what do I do about it?  Trying to do a system repair did not work & I can't get the computer starts normally then now what?  SP1 is installed on our laptop with no problems.  The only difference is that I let it install automatically.

    Please help before I have eventually throw the top of desk by the window!

    Sandee

    Sandee,

    David advice was correct.

    Read all the info on the link below.

    You need to download the ISO file, I talked to the computer on which you post here, not the broken one!

    It is a repair disc you need to do from this ISO file:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    If yours falls into the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    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.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

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

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.
    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
    There is not a disk of resettlement.

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

  • BlackBerry Passport fell in the water and no longer turns

    Hello everyone! 3 days ago, my passport for Blackberry is dropped into water. Immediately I took it and I tried to dry it but as we all know u can't remove the battery, so I tried to turn off that i don't. After I dried a bit with a few towels I put it on rice and l left here for almost 3 days. After all it turns on and when I connect the charger battery not seeing flashing red lights and nothing happen! Because I don't know what to do, more trying to find a solution to make it work again but I don't know how. I bought this phone throgh shopblackberry.com and I dissmised insurance and everything. Now, my question is: is all authorized store tech blackberry that can deal with phones and correct and the other thing where I can find them? and if she is online, please send me a link because im always looking and so far nothing. Thank you very much for reading! Any help will be appreciated!

    First of all, I'm sorry. I really am.

    Do not spend more money or more time trying to recover the device. Liquid is so pervasive and severe that the entire device is made. And even if you get the device works, problems will grow as the degradation and other damage occurs. If you had your own personal BlackBerry junkyard and time and skills, it might pay to trouble shoot and replace comments failed, but if you pay for parts and labor, my opinion is that you are better made to have another device.

    Some tips...

    I don't think that insurance would have covered even when liquid damage.

    There are BlackBerry repair centers in some countries. My guess is not where you are.

    I think anyone would confirm what I advised above. But visit a repair shop mobile where you live and ask for advice. If they say that they can repair the unit, ask an estimate of cost and a unconditional on parts and labor guarantee, if the appliance does not completely after repair.

  • Close the startpoint and endpoint without selecting the first

    Hi guys,.

    I'm working on an image of polygon which means I have created hundreds and hundreds of small triangles with the path tool.

    Now, I have wondered if it is possible to create two lines of the triangle in hand and close the last third line of triangles in shortcut.

    There may be a shortcut (or almost) to connect the beginning and the end of a path? I know I can do it by clicking on cmd + J, but I first select the points which is more work than simply connecting them to the hand. It would be perfect if there's any way to close it without selecting it first, so that I can do an 'action' out of it with a shortcut!

    Any ideas?

  • waterproof to the water and supported? for TX30

    Condensation goes kayaking in Southeast Alaska this summer... rainforest, moisture, drizzle, questions.  TX30 is waterproof to the water to take pictures under water, so does it mean that it will not fog up when you take pictures in the above conditions?  What happened when the scope zoom 10 x is used?

    Will also be in a wilderness area for a few months, and wanted to load with Freeplay Energy Freecharger 12v crank charger that uses a standard plug IGC in... thought if there is a car for the TX30 adapter, may be able to charge properly.  Thoughts?  Otherwise, you will have to buy an extra battery.

    Thank you, community.


  • opens any after automatic update! dead in the water!

    yesterday, I learned that an automatic update has occurred. for 6.blah.2 or something. I do not know. I was immersed in the constitution, and Thomas Jefferson was waxing her ass. In any case last night I stop, everything is right with the world. This morning I try to log in to see if my teacher is all-new for me... nothing. Sure, no coffee, maybe I'm not awake, kidnapped by ailens. Then I stopped and try again. Nothing. But IE has worked... So here I am... That is what it is?

  • PowerEdge C1100 dead in the water...

    Hello PowerEdge general HW Forum:

    My C1100 is in a solid error condition. When is powered by plugging in, turns on, but the system is not responding. The power switch on the front panel is not working. The malfunction orange/orange light is on and the blue system ID led is lit on the front panel. The BMC do not boot or system. I went through the steps listed in the owner's manual in order to remove all hardware except for the motherboard I did not spare any currently of troubleshooting. Any ideas? System consists of standard C1100 with four slots hdd SATA 2 with a filled, 2 Xeon processors and ram, 72 GB (18x4mg). During the last inspection of the system with BMC all (fans, temperatures, voltages etc) seemed to be nominal. Thanks for all your comments!

    lnelson15

    Hey thanks for the reply. Too late for this one I returned it to where I got it. This box was as we say 'HOSED '. The only way of
    Get you to start or do anything to plug into AC. At that time, the power supply fan would come on, the malfunction and lights the system ID led will be on and the power supply fan would go but there was no power to the system that food has not obtained the power_good signal # of the
    system on board so it would just sit... for hours until that unplug you the unit (I could jump the power_good # anchor in the connector 24 pin and turn on the power supply with a paper clip to ensure that food was good). Also the switch power light is not lit or flashing (as it is for the BMC to start). All the switches and buttons if unusable reset permanently. On all 8 time or while I plugged it the power would come for a reason, fans would come on wide open as it's correct when they have no control of the BCM, the fault and system ID lights would come on and the power light would come on but the power switch would be ineffective because the BMC has does not start. It would also sit like that for hours (or until we couldn't listen to the fans more) until this that unplugged. Believe me, I looked for any sign of activity of the BMC from (this is what is happening on the minute or two until the BIOS starts the POST) or BIOS.

    For me, the worst, it was Dell indicated that they were going to cover the case, until I had them sending me a Council system when shipping guys who send the discovered parts the box I bought was provided by a group within Dell somehow involving Dell Financial and the so-called guarantee was not guaranteed at all. That's why the serial number (DNJQQL1) would not work to any Dell Web sites. At this point, I would have to put this somewhere taboo system map in someone unmentionable. Sorry, but that left me funky for a day or two. I am okay now that it is just an inanimate object and fortunately we are driven. I just got to the training anyway. He didn't charge up to version Windows Server 2012 Datacenter no problem as well as a copy of the same in Hyper-V before other problems to become inoperative.

    Here's what one I had looked like but mine was usually the fairing of ventilation in place. This image came from an ebay store sells more than one of these servers. They are falling like dominoes, now data centers and operations are trying to recover part of their costs. That's why they are sold in the range of $500-600 for a housing and even less in quantity.

    Glad you come back your!

    Best... Lee Nelson

  • Help me... Does not install, won't clean up.  Dead in the water

    Only works with google chrome and not a pdf file preview in windows Explorer.  Chorme has been uninstalled in anticipation of this problem being cleaned.  There are remnants in locallow and roaming but no exe.  What is the manual method of cleaning it so I can install again?

    Incorrect answer.  It turns out that Acrobat Reader XI was the

    problem.  This has probably stuck when an attempt is made to install

    Acrobat Reader DC, who has been having problems with windows

    Preview pane of the Explorer.  This deletion process is different.  I found that

    you need to scroll to locate the removal of Acrobat Reader XI

    tool.  Users who have problems with the installation should run two removal tools

    due to problems that might occur when users try to install

    Acrobat Reader DC.

    I had the system cleaned and installed Acrobat Reader XI and

    everything now works again.  DC is for cloud computing which was

    the origin of evil.  System performance has gotten a lot better
