Disk Boot Failure, Insert system Disk

Hello

My HP Pavilion media center m8100n shows "Disk Boot Failure, Insert system Disk"

I searched on HP support, but I couldn't find a solution from the recovery disk is not available

Any help would be appreciated

You are the very welcome.

Somewhere on the top or side of your PC case, there should be a multicolored Microsoft Certificate label of authenticity (COA) with 25-digit Windows Vista product key.

It should look like this.

    Hello

    You can view these methods:

    Method 1: As a first step, check to see if the hard disk becomes detected or listed in the Basic Input/Output system (BIOS). Also, be sure to change the boot order in the CMOS settings so that thehard drive is the first on the list.

    Note: To learn how, see the documentation provided with your computer or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from configuration can resolved BIOS/CMOS settings. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Method 2: If the manufacturer has installed the Recovery Console on your computer, perform the check disk to fix this.

    At the recovery console command line, type:

    Chkdsk /r

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    Note: 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 can be lost.

    Hi Kim,
     
    -Have you done recent changes made to your computer after this problem started to happen?
     
    If your computer has just been formatted, your computer might need to insert the boot CD in order to run it. So you can get the error message Disk Boot Failure-press and insert disk entry displayed on the screen whenever you try to run it. This could be related to:
    • Startup options is incorrectly set in BIOS Basic Input Output System ().
    • A non bootable CD is in your CD player
    • You don't have any boot device
    • You have installed a new hard drive
    • The hard drive is not properly connected
    • Your system files have been infected

    Verify that one of these reasons may be the cause of your problem and post back with the details to help us to help you better.

    1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

    system boot failure

    Hello

    Your question does contain all of the required information. Please provide us with the following information.

    1. what changes have been made on the computer until you have encountered the problem?

    2. who is the manufacturer of the computer?

    3. did you reinstall of Windows or recovery CD/DVD drive?

    4 is detected in the BIOS setup?

    The question could be attributed to several factors, including a failed hard drive or the corruption of the operating system. You can always try these steps and see if that eliminates the problem:

    1 disconnect all external equipment connected to the computer, except the monitor, keyboard and mouse, and then restart the computer

    2. check if the hard drive is properly plugged in.

    3. the power supply for the hard drive is fine.

    This error occurs whenever I try to start my PC.

    First sign of something goes wrong a wireless internet does not connect to any network, after rigorous scanning virus en there is a Trojan horse that my anti-virus software could not get rid. Sometimes, my system starts if I'm lucky, but to have this problem, I left my PC for a while, came back to today and it works very well, although it is very slow. Also, when the computer starts, it makes a little beep noise but being on the office that he kept repeating the sound again and again as if it was stuck in a loop, then after about 5 minutes the blue screen error message came, after that it just keeps showing the boot disk failure message.
    I have no idea how to solve this problem, as I am not computer boffin, any help would be much appreciated!
    Thank you, Sam.

  • Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and press enter

    I don't know what happened. I was running a program and he is locked up tight. The only way out is to hit the reset button. When he tried to start, I got the above error. Now, if I put the disc in and restart, I get the standard press on enter key to Boot from CD/DVD. If I hit say the arrow I get a normal start smoothly. Of course if I press the right key the disc begins to load and asks me to install Vista, which of course, it is already aiinstalle. Years, if that happened, you could use a floppy disk and run sys c: to restore the operating system on the hard drive, but this does not seem to exist more. I don't know how to get the system back to normal now.

    Vista 64 Ultimate.

    Thanks in advance.

    Problem solved. I have no idea why a hard reboot it would do well, but it's certainly something I'm not going to remember. I hope it helps someone else. In the bios it shows all readers and in order. However, in a display of additional bios showing disk hard list, the order is different. I have changed to reflect the first screen, saved and reloaded (without the dvd in place) and the system booted fine. Strange that I have never seen this before, but at least I can relax now :)

    Thanks to all who tried to help.

  • Portege R200 - PXE - E61: media test failure - insert system disk

    My Portege R200 PPR21E-00K00QEN computer means the usual stuff of toshiba: IE

    PXE - E61: media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - MOF outgoing PXE ROM

    Insert system disk in drive

    Now my model isn't a hard drive and I bought second hand, so I have no recovery disks.
    I checked the HARD drive and its seems connected properly.

    Would I need to buy an external drive and try a system disk or is there anything else I could try.

    Any suggestions or advice?

    PXE - E61: media test failure, check cable message appears because the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN.
    Why?
    Because it could not start the HARD drive, or another source like CD/DVD drive.
    Usually this happens because of faulty HARD drive.

    So how to fix?

    I think first of all you will need to replace the HARD drive.

    Since the Portégé R200 doesn't support CD/DVD drive, you must install the system using bootable flash USB stick memory or you would need to buy an external CD-ROM USB drive that would be compatible with protégé R200

  • Disk Boot Failure on Pavilion a1720n

    My computer froze and crashed, then went to a black screen saying Disk Boot failure Insert System Disk. When I go to start my computer it goes either directly on the screen or it starts and runs fine for about 10 minutes and goes back to a black screen, repeat the disk boot failure.

    It is usually a very strong indication that your hard drive is dying. I hope you did the recovery disk set that will be required to reinstall your Windows and your software to a new hard drive.

    One thing you might try is first to enter the BIOS to turn on by pressing the F10 key. Once in the BIOS, press F5 to reset the default settings then F10 to save and exit.

  • Vista 64-bit, DISK BOOT FAILURE

    So I have this Acer Aspire AX3200-U3600A with Windows Vista (64-bit). Every night I turn it off and turn it back on in the morning.

    About three weeks ago, I did a factory fresh reimage. Good as new.

    Then about two days ago, when I turned it on, I noticed it was running extremely slow. As in, he would often freeze while I had several applications open when it froze usually never upward. So I decided to restart my computer. Big mistake.

    My computer froze right after that I clicked on stop. I waited some time. Nothing. Waited a few minutes. Nope. I decided to stop it by pressing the power button. Here is where the problems begin.

    When I turned it back on, I saw the bar logo and loading of Windows, and then load to black. I turned it off again with force by the power button / stop and then once more... then I got:

    AMD data change... Update new data on a DMI interface!

    then later clears the screen and I get:

    AHCI Option ROM BIOS revision: 01.05.92 Date: 19/02/2008 Copyright (c) 2006-2008 Phoenix Technologies, LTD. Port 01: Reset Port error! Port 02:

    then the screen clears again, but this time it loads from the bottom:

    NVIDIA Boot Agent 249.0542 (copyright stuff... blah blah) PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable. PXE - M0F: Released Nvidia Boot Agent DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER.

    So, I try to go to Safe Mode. Well, first it loads faster. After it loads disk.sys fromwindows/pilots, he waits a while (2-3 minutes) and THEN load. However, it loads the Acer eRecovery Management Tool. I have three options: reset the computer to factory, restore the backup of the user, or output. However, the upper part, two options are gray and disabled so that the output is in blue and certainly clickable. Secure mode so obviously isn't here...

    A strong thing to note: Initially when this all started, I made a start Windows Normal pressing f8 and I arrived at my office! It me logged in. I could see the icons on my files. However, my office was extremely slow as in when I clicked on the start menu, he'd wait awhile, and then load the menu with JUST the gradient, no text or icons... so as you can see... He saw my HARD drive?

    Also, before anyone says, I no. plugged USB. My mouse and keyboard are not entered USB, I assure you. And it came without a recovery CD AND when I went into the BIOS, to change the BOOT ORDER, I have NOT seen a CD-ROM option. And when I tried pressing ALT + F10 to enter Acer eRecovery Management, the options of two albums have been disabled as well.

    But sometimes, on startup, I get:

    Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.

    This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device, such as a USB external drive when the appliance is used, or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or the CD-ROM drive which is a failure. Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer.

    If you continue to receive this error message, contact the manufacturer of the equipment.

    Status: 0xc00000e9

    Info: An unexpected i/o error has occurred.

    Then I tried the last known good Configuration settings, which gives me a BSOD.

  • Pavilion new hard drive XP Media Center Edition 2005, won't boot from the system recovery disks

    Hi, I'm trying to replace the hard drive in Pavilion a1620n a member of the family with XP Media Center Edition 2005 where the original Samsung SP2504C HDD failed.  I HAVE the original recovery discs 1 and 2 system and additional recovery disk supplied with the PC but the problem seems to be that I can't get the PC to boot from them to start the recovery process.  I installed a new Western Digital 500 GB HARD drive.  The BIOS recognizes it is installed (as well as the existing DVD - RW drive) and drive past the on-board CHIP support tests.  I tried using the Boot Menu ESC to select the DVD - RW Drive as the first Boot device, as well as the tab Boot Setup of BIOS F1 to set the 1st boot CD-ROM device group and other people with disabilities.  After reboot, the drive of DVD - RW turns on for about 2 seconds, then turns off and the display shows "DISK BOOT FAILURE", INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER.  I thought maybe I needed a kind of bootable CD boot disk to format the drive first, so I tried a BACK 6.22 bootable CD and a bootable CD of MEMTEST, that work on the other PC, but I get the same message "DISK BOOT... "on this one.  My next idea would be to try to host the new drive on another PC and copy the files on it recovery disk... but is it really necessary?  If the own PC system recovery CD should not be able to... Recover?

    It seems to me that the ligthscribe drive has a problem.  Replace the disk and it may be OK after that.  On a PC so old, it is probably an IDE drive, but check first.
