• 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.

  What should I do

  Hello

  This explains the reasons for this error

  http://forums.techguy.org/hardware/104472-solved-PXE-E61-media-test.html

  Chances are that it is a hard failure.

  Go to the Acer Web site > find specifications of hardware in your computer (hard drive) > access the Web Hard Drive from the manufacturer site > download their diagnostic software > make a Bootable disc > test your hard drive.

  See you soon.

• Can I run dual boot Vista 32 and Windows 7 64? Can I use a upgrade disk to install the full version?

  original title: I have a simple question...

  I have Vista 32 bit.  I have two hard drives.  Vista 32 is on disk 0.  (C) I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.  I want to change the installation path on Windows 7 64 bit edition updated the software on my second drive, so I can run a system dual boot.  Windows 7 Setup will allow me to do?  I can use the version upgrade of the software for that, or do I have the full version?

  Hello

  You can't do what you want to do

  32-bit to 64-bit is NOT a upgrade path if you have always wanted to upgrade 32 bit vista

  It must be done with a clean install with a final certificate

  and you need a full license of windows 7 to install windows 7 on the 2nd hard drive

  You can dual boot vista 32-bit and 64-bit windows 7, if the manufacturer of your computer provides windows 7 drivers

• Dual Boot Vista and XP in separate hard drives?

  I currently installed on a hard drive in Vista and I have an extra which is 160 GB I want to install XP on so that I can dualboot both, is it possible?

  Remember that there is no partition in question here.

  The key which makes the task easier is to preformat the drive, assign a disk label (example: WinXP) and then launch the installation.

• I get disk boot failure when I restart my computer?

  I have Windows XP on my computer.  To remove a Trojan on my system, I tried to put my computer in safe mode.  After that, all that came was a white text on a black screen.  I waited for a while, but nothing else came.  So, I turned off the computer.  After turning it back on, the computer says "disk boot failure".  She also asked me to insert the disk system, but my computer never came with the Xp disc.  It was already loaded on my computer.  To compensate for this, I bought a Windows Vista upgrade disc, but is not let me load because it is an upgrade.  Please, help me.  I'm at my wit's end.  Also, I am very computer illiterate, so that all the instructions, please be as simple as possible.  Thank you.

  Original title: computer does not turn on

  Hello

  ·          Were you able to start the computer in Safe Mode?

  Step 1: Make sure that the disk group is selected as first boot device. Unplug all external USB devices, then try to restart the computer.

  NOTE: changes to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious 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.

  Step 2: Try startup repair if it is an option of recovering preinstalled on your computer.

• How do I set up a dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives?

  Dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives

  I tried to get my computer has a separate hard drive put in place that lets me run Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tried the path of the CMD, but I could do things wrong with that because the news NTLDR appeared much too different info from Vista. Currently, I have deleted this change to the startup configuration. I want to know what I have to do to get these two to be able to boot. I noticed problems similar to mine, but the answer always seems to be a software that would cost me money.

  Thank you

  Tevans95

  Hello Tevans95,

  You cannot install two different operating systems on two different disks. For a dual-boot environment, you must install both XP and Vista on the same drive with different partitions.

  In addition, you must install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista.

  You can check the items below which will give you information on Dual boot.

  Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

  Set up a dual-boot system

  Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

  There is no software that can help you to install XP and Vista on different drives.

  Thank you

• How dual boot Vista and Windows 7

  I'm using vista Home premium and want to install windows 7 a.m. premium as a dual boot. If I decide later by far with windows vista and keep only 7 How can proceed?

  Assuming that my OS is windows 7 can I use the same disk of vista on the virtual machine with the same product key.

  Vista and 7 cannot exist on the same partition as a dual boot? How to do it.

  Is ther to disadvantages in dual boot?

  There are no real problems with dual boot if it's Setup corrrectly.

  You need operating systems on separate partitions (readers not necessarily distinct, but definitely separate from the partitions).

  If you uninstall Vista later and it's a copy to the details of the program, then you can install it in a virtual drive using the same product key (but you'll probably need to activate manually).

  Here's how Dual boot Vista with Widows7: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/5166-dual-boot-installation-windows-7-vista.html.

  Although written for other systems, the process to remove a dual boot will work with Windows7 and Vista (although you may need to use the commands and Windows7 disk): http://vistasupport.mvps.org/remove_windows_vista_from_dual_boot_system.htm depending on the situation and that was installed first.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Vista Home - no password, password reset disk or Vista DVD. What are my options?

  We have inherited a nice new PC which has Vista Home on it.  However, we did not inherit the Vista DVD or password reset for the PC disk password.  So, we are stuck and cannot get the machine to allow us of past the sign on screen.  Unfortunately, the PC came from my wife who is now deceased mother.  Are there options for sure this PC will again?  Or if it is enough to buy another disk of Vista and re - install?  Thanks for the pointers.

  Reinstall Vista.
