Double partitioned Pavillion Desktop does not start in Windows 8

I have a desktop HP Pavilion partitioned with Ubuntu installed next to Windows 8. For the most part, I'm working on Ubuntu, half, which is fine, but I have some important files on the windows half too. Recently, when I tried to start Windows in the boot selection menu, a long stream of errors came up through the screen and put me right back to the beginning. Something along the lines of 'invalid path UEFI.

I was also informed that the Ubuntu Startup Repair utility should work to fix, and I tried to run a live CD of Kubuntu. The problem is, the computer will not also boot from CD - I changed the boot order to make it work, but he acts as if there is no disk in the drive. I know the drive works because I used to install Kubuntu on my laptop a few weeks ago.

Keep in mind, the computer is still usable as it always starts in Ubuntu, but I have a few applications that I use from time to time that are incompatible with Ubuntu and too intensive to use on an emulator. things like video games, software design and other. As a user of the Linux die-hard, I never thought I would say this, but all I want is my gosh - darn rear window.

When you request support, please provide the number full name or product model of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you resolve the issue.

The above requested information on the side, back, or bottom of your computer. , Please do not include your serial number.

Consider DISABLING "secure starting" and ENABLING 'Legacy Support' in the BIOS. Please see "computers HP - secure boot (Windows 8)" for more information about "Secure Boot" and how to toggle the "Secure Boot" and "Legacy Support".

  • Satellite C55 - Has - 1 L 0 does not start in Windows 8

    Hey guys.
    I hope you can help me a bit.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite C55 - has - 1 L 0 here and it does not start in Windows 8.

    I turn it on, the Toshiba start screen appears, and then I get a message on a black screen saying "media control" (failure) and after a little while "no boot device. Please restart.

    I checked the BiOS and it does not see the hard drive (said HARD drive - no) and even in the boot order list, I don't get a list with the DVD drive with the exact name, but for the HARD drive.
    I tried to do a recocery with the F12 key and get the list to choosw where I want to start but by selecting the disk hard does not work.

    So I thought I'd try a live distribution of linux to see where is my hard drive and back up my data (after some settings in the BIOS - boot CMS mode) but I can't find there too. (I have a file fstab and mtab, it would help if I posted it here?)
    Is my HARD drive broken? Can I try something else?

    Thank you very much!

    You are right. This issue should be fixed by the authorized service provider.
    Furthermore, why do some risk steps to check this problem, if the warranty is valid.
    Warranty will cover the repair costs.

  • Satellite A200 - support Button does not start when windows starts

    Hey,.

    Today, I decided to disable unnecessary programs as many as I could (to speed up my pc), so I went to Msconfig (I have vista home premium 32-bit) and a lot of things off. Including the "toshiba button support. The next time I restarted my additional buttons on the top of the keyboard all worked, next to one. Who normally turn on windows media player. This time, he did nothing at all. Game/resume, stop, forward, back and button internet all worked without problem.
    However, I really liked the WMP button, so I tried to find out what the problem was. I discovered that it was the support of the key, so I decided to reactivate it.

    However, this didn't not help: (.) I turned it in msconfig, but it does not start with windows more: (.) I know this is the program that I need, because when I run the program manually (this is the program: programfiles/toshiba/TBS/HSON.exe) the button works.
    I put a V in front of the msconfig program, but it does not work. Anyone has an idea why not?

    Edit: I found a solution, even if not the best. If anyone still has the same problem:
    I made a shortcut for the program to run (can be found in C:programfiles/toshiba/SCT and is called HSON.exe). Then I clicked start and said 'all programs', here I chose the "opstarten" folder, it comes to the Dutch version, but my guess is it's called something like 'start-up' in English. In this regard, I glued (copy / cut-> paste) the shortcut to the program, and now he begins again :)

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma. You should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. This determines media keys FN and all special functions on the laptop buttons.

  • CC desktop does not start.

  • Desktop HP Envy 700qe: failure motherboard on HP Envy 700qe desktop, does not start

    My computer does not start.  It's the same problem I had in December 2015 still under warranty.  HP replaced the motherboard.  Now (July 2016) is once again, it is beyond the 90 days replacement warranty.  I can buy another motherboard for replacement and install it myself?  If Yes, what is the replacement part that I should look for?  I have Intel core i7-4770 3.4 G 8 M 84w CPU and 2 TB of disk hard.

    You're welcome, @Bobirdie.  Thank you for the additional information.

    This is a refurbished motherboard from Newegg.  Personally, I would have no problem to buy from them.  I bought thousands of dollars of computer components to them.  You can look at the following to see if you can find one for less money.  I think you'd be able to find a new one on ebay.

    If you have never replaced a motherboard, and even if you replaced one, my best advice is take some very good pictures of the motherboard before you start deleting connections.  I normally lable cables on the power supply unit (PSU).  It would be good to take pictures of the connectors to the front of the case, too.  This will save you a lot of frustration later.  It is not difficult if you take your time and I suggest to use an anti-static wristband to make sure you do not damage the components.

  • Pavillion AMD does not start

    I have a laptop that is does not start when turned on it says "automatic repair of prepaing", but goes no further, turns into a white screen and worked like that for hours with nothing to do.

    According to the recent message that you have posted, I want to confirm that your laptop hard drive is defective

    and needs a replacement. "Hard Disk Fail DST" confirms the hardware failure with the hard drive

    Please Contact HP if your HP laptop is under warranty, HP could replace the hard drive and you provide the recovery media to restore the operating system to factory after the replacement (if you have not yet created recovery disks/USB support)

    You can also check your warranty here to check the status of the guarantee

  • Creative Cloud Desktop does not start

    What creative Office Cloud tries to start the icon appears briefly in the upper part of the screen and then goes.  The application does not start.  I was in a conversation with the support of Adobe, but no luck.  Any ideas?

    I just finished a new version of the software.  Reformat the disk, installed the operating system and loaded software at the same time.  Everything works as it should now but it's of course a lot of work.

  • the premier pro does not start in windows 10

    Hello

    I have just updated to windows install 10 with a cleaning. Now, I have a problem with the Premier Pro cs5.5. It does not start correctly.  instead of the projection of the screen it goes to an empty p [the age with the bar tools, then falls, disappears. I was wondering if I have to do a re-install or there may be an update to make it compatible to windows 10.

    In addition to the comments of John, a few people with a new Adobe DVA are struggling to get them to open in Win10 but found that by double-clicking the program file, the Properties section and choose "run as Administrator", they had to operate. That said... Win10 and a number of video applications are not on the excellent conditions in any universal sense.

  • Satellite A300-259 does not start on windows

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba A300-259 and I have problems trying to get into windows.
    When I try to start my laptop, it would remain on the screen of the Microsoft logo with no response. I tried to use the HDD recovery procedure (link below) but if the screen jumps just to load Microsoft. I tried also security mode, but when it finishes loading all the drivers it just freezes.

    Is that what I can do before purchasing a toshiba recovery media disk?

    Hi mate

    Well, if you didn t create a recovery disk previously, you must purchase a new recovery disk.

    If the Windows operating system starts not using safe mode or normal mode and if the HDD recovery procedure does not start then I n t see other options for you to try the recovery disk.

  • C50-A0113 satellite does not start in windows

    Hello.

    I have a toshiba satellite laptop C50-A0113 8 64-bit windows running.

    Ive had exactly two years a few days ago I restarted and then when it starts up, it stops at the screen "Toshiba leading innovation" and then he said: scanning and repair drive C, while on this screen it starts the process and then stops at 34%.

    It was two days ago now it just gets stuck on the "screen toshiba innovation leader" and then after a few minutes, it says preparation auto repair.

    Then he leaves the screen and goes to a screen black for a few minutes then flashes the blue screen written "your computer has encountered a problem" then restarts.

    I tried to create a bootable windows disc 8 in order to repair, but it does not start even in the usb port.
    I restart and press f12 to select the media to begin. It checks the media goes to the toshiba screen, then everything goes black for a few minutes until what it restarts.

    Can I please know what is the problem and how can I possibly fix it because the problem is clearly not my hard drive.

    I have removed and put into another laptop and it was fine

    Hello

    If you want to start Notepad using external media (such as a CD or USB flash memory key) you must disable the secure in the BIOS boot option.

    If you want to install Win 7, you must also pass the CSM mode UEFI Boot Mode.

    For me it of not quite clear if you created the recovery media (flash memory stick or disk)

    If you created one in the past, you could use this recovery media to put the laptop back to factory settings.

    In the case where this is not possible, some of the material (perhaps HDD) could be affected.
