  At this point, there is no need to delete. A new copy of Mac OS X can be installed directly over the old copy. This process replaces the components of Mac OS X on a file by file basis and adds missing ones, there will be no major throwing away what anyone, unless there is a power failure.

  You have already run disk first aid.

  Marking bad sectors on a hard disk takes time so be patient. Delimiting does not repair a defective sector. He places pointers to the reader by saying the system not to read or write to these areas that have been damaged.

  If the number of defective sectors continued to increase after using the procedure above several times, then you should replace the disk. If an important system file is written to a bad sector, you can corrupt the registry hives and lose the entire contents of the disc.

  However if have run chkdsk you not see more new bad sectors, then the reader can work for you for years.

  The problem is that she did not have any DVD with laptop. I guess that the Vista operating system, that comes with it is the special partition on the hard drive, but how can I access it? How can I reinstall the system? I don't mind if I lose data, I used just to make it work...

  If DVD recovery is not assured that means installation of recovery can be started from the HARD drive. I don't know how it works exactly on cell phones in the United States. Try pressing zero button after starting upwards to see if HARD drive recovery option can be started.

  By the way: check the Toshiba U.S. support under http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/tshb/ forum
  Maybe someone there can explain how it works to start the installation of the OS on the HARD drive.

• Windows could not start. Winload.exe corrupted

  Been having some problems with my Equius has therefore decide to start, F8 and do a system restore toshiba.

  Started and started to format the drive. All of a sudden he projected blue.

  The problem is now I can not even start until now to get the recovery/restore option. I get: -.

  Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the
  cause...

  File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

  Not sure how it all works, but I guess that recovery stuff are stored on a separate partition. Problem is I guess you must be able to start to load windows before you even get to do this?

  I downloaded and tried a boot with no joy, and of course vista recovery disk, toshiba provide a vista disk. How the hell can I recover from this situation?

  Hello!

  If you are not able to get in the boot menu for HARD drive recovery, you must use a Microsoft Vista disc to reinstall the OS.
  Or you use the Toshiba recovery disc but I think you forgot to burn the disk because normally you get a message (recovery point) you want to burn the disc.

  However, you can order a Toshiba Toshiba recovery disc directly:

  When I press launch Start up repair that it goes to a screen with a big cursor (that you can move) but nothing happens.
  When I pressed the start windows normally put it went through the windows logo while starting but then stops at this point.

  My question is, is - this easy to fix & if not where is the best place to consider to get fixed. Said I was dense enough: p

  Thanks for looking

  Dean

  > My question is, is - this easy to fix & if not where is the best place to consider to get fixed. Said I was pretty dense

  I think its easy to correct, but you'd need a Toshiba recovery disc.
  Have you created one in the past?

  If not, try to start the HARD drive recovery: turn on the device, press F8. Now choose fix my computer.
  Now new window should open, and here you must select Toshiba HDD recovery option. This would create the laptop back to factory settings.

  In case this isn't possible, you will need to boot from a recovery disk to reinstall the system.

  Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem: Insert your windows installation disc, and then restart your computer

  I would appreciate a process step by step what it is, that I need to download or reset. I do not have the windows installation disc, because it did not come with my laptop.

  I really appreciate your help in advance ;)

  Hello

  Well, the error message says everything to me. Insert the Windows disk * or * contact manufacturing (Toshiba). ;)

  By the way: it would be interesting to know if you can boot into safe mode. Check it!
  If so, you may start the HARD drive recovery. Therefore, select Repair my computer in the Advanced Start menu and follow the instructions on the screen.

  Yes, with the laptop didn't come a disc, but you can create one!
  Please read the operating manual always first.

  Now it s too late to create such a floppy, but you can order directly into a new Toshiba:

• Once I turned on the computer I got the following message: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or damaged. System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys

  I just download Microsoft Office 2010 Professional and then turns off the computer with XP operating system. Once I turned on the computer I got the following message:

  Windows could not start because the following file is missing or damaged;

  System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys

  You can try to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD

  Select 'r' in the first screen to start repair.

  Then, I started the computer with the Original installation CD and press 'r' by following the instructions. Then, I received this message:

  1: C:\WINDOWS

  Which Windows installation you want to connect?

  (to cancel, press enter)

  What do I put here?

  You must first start on doing something so USB drive a bootable Hiren.

  Here's how:

  I'll recommend you use Hiren boot CD (it will go also to a flash/USB stick/USB).

  It's good for you, because there a lot of tools more on that on the Recovery Console CD of XP, doesn't your administrator passwords and you will not have to futz round in your BIOS, if any afflicted system has SATA drives - Hiren can deal with this.

  You will have a bunch of great tools that you have in XP... Recovery Console an editor of the register, adjustable password and an office that resembles Windows XP so you will feel comfortable flexibility.

  You can easily copy your personal data (documents, pictures, music) to an external drive.

  A system of work, start by downloading the latest version on Hiren Boot CD from here (it is a substantial download but worth it):
  http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/    (look to the bottom of the page).

  Unzip the Hiren to a folder where you can find it.  There's a Hiren. BootCD.15.x.iso that you have to then.

  Hiren was instructed to make a bootable USB drive that you can use, but it takes you first burn the .iso to a CD image file and a few other measures, so I suggest another way and here's how:

  Download RUFUS 1.3.2 or whatever the latest version is here (read a few things on the page so you can learn more on this subject):

  http://Rufus.AKEO.IE/

  I will warn to be careful that don't accidentally format you a hard disk - don't forget your USB key is in and know what the drive letter!  This part makes me still a little nervous, so be careful.

  Launch of RUFUS and all default values should be fine for the device, choose letter of your USB drive, quick tag format FAT32, it if you want and in the Format options box, click on the little icon that looks like a CD and a window will open.  Navigate through this dialogue to point to the folder that contains the Hiren. BootCD.15.x.iso that you have unpacked above and the box should change to say the image ISO (RUFUS includes the Hiren ISO file).

  Double check you have the right device selected in the top (NOT you HDD) click Start, acknowledge receipt of the warning and let it finish (it will take a little time) it copies the files.   Hiren ISO is also a good size.

  When RUFUS is finished, it will say "DONE" at the bottom.

  Put the USB in the afflicted machine and reset/reboot and regardless of the button you press to get a boot menu where you can select the USB drive as first boot device (it's F11 for me).  If you do not see a start menu choice, you will need to set your BIOS to boot from USB first instead of the HARD disk.

  When the Hiren menu displays, choose the XP Mode of Mini and it will start loading (slowly from a USB key) and finally, you should see a windowsy looking for office.  You should recognize the part and feel uncomfortable, but it is not your office - the office of the Hiren!

  Remember: you do not start on your hard drive, - you started in the Office of the Hiren.

  A way to check the drive for errors is to open my computer and right-click on your afflicted player and choose Properties, tools, error, check checking now... put a check mark in the boxes and then start.

  Sometimes that works, then you can also click on start, run and in the type box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window and enter the following command (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive)

  CHKDSK c: /r

  This disk check can last a long time (perhaps several to several hours) depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what the disk check finds to do.  You may need to run more than once.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.

  Vista Ultimate - trying to COMPLETE the backup of a computer

  Hi people,

  I had a similar problem with Vista (64-bit edition complete edition) machine. I run automatic backups for more than a year. Suddenly, backups started fail with the following error code:

  "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable 0 x 80070570.

  I thought it would be my external drive - so I tried an another one - same error. After a search of different topics around, I tried various fixes (similar to above), but none of them worked.

  I managed to find the problem though. The issue is not with the drive being written - it's the current backup disc that is the problem. If you want to save your primary drive (C:, for example), try to perform a check of the errors on this drive (right click on your drive home, you are trying to save, choose 'Properties' then go to 'tools' - click 'Check now' under the control of errors - and check both boxes). Since this is the current drive, you must stop and restart - the system then automatically checks the system files and windows files on the next boot.

  After doing this, my problem cleared up. Apparently, the backup software was crashing trying to read a corrupted file or a sector of the hard disk, that he was backing.

• Windows Vista: windows could not start error. is suspended from the "Microsoft Corporation" loading bar then black screen BIOS not acpi compliant

  After you have installed the driver for the zune hd, I was asked to restart my computer. After the reboot, start froze on a white screen. I've seen this before and it is usually because of some connected usb components. so I manually powered down the Tower, disconnected the cable from zune and restarted. This time a screen saying that windows could not start, "launch Startup Repair tool" was recommended. Select this habit makes the startup hang to the progress bar from Microsoft corporation, then to a completely white screen. Although strangely, once only a blue error screen appears which says that the BIOS is not acpi compatible. I can't restart with F8 to go into safe mode, "windows error recovery" still appears. "Start windows normally"produces the same results as the tool to restart launch system. " I have a drive to upgrade to windows 7 and a windows XP upgrade disk. the disc of windows 7 hangs at "starting windows" and the XP disc gives a blue screen error: stop: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0c 0000034, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000000)

  Hello

  1. What is the exact error message when Windows Vista does not start?

  2. you have the disk Installation of Windows Vista operating system?

  I suggest you change the mode of RAMA to IDE in the BIOS. You can contact the PC manufacturer for assistance.

  Note: BIOS change / oxide of additional metal (CMOS) semiconductor parameters incorrectly can causeserious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

   

  In addition, perform a check disk in Windows Recovery Mode.

  (a) Insert the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

  (b) press a key when the message "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD".

  (c) select a language, an hour and the currencyand a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

  (d) click on check drive for errors.

  (e) in the System Recovery Options dialog box, select the drive of your Windows installation and click Next

  (f) to the System Recovery Options dialog box, click on check Drive for errors.

  (g) use the switch/r to run the disk check.

  Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost

   

  It will be useful.
