• OS not found on the c: drive, cannot start windows

  Today, I tried to restart my laptop and all of a sudden, they won't let me restart. It keep telling me that I can't or my hard drive is too small. and I tried all the option, even tried to restore my c: drive, but then he told me that I have to choose: full system restore:.

  So now I can't enter to windows or restart my computer, how do I get into my windows again? Help, please. :(

  Hello

  
  1. What is the exact error message you get?
  
  Method 1: I suggest you try the steps from the following link

  Windows Vista or Windows 7 unbootable, and the Startup Repair tool does not resolve the problem
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/934540

  Method 2: go to the BIOS (Basic Input Output system) Setup, & change the switch setting between AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) and IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics), SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) and the drive controller is restarted. If it solves your problem, the driver for the HARD disk (HDD) is corrupted.

  IMPORTANT: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor 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.

  Method 3: Your hard drive is damaged to the point that it cannot even recognize that Vista has been installed on it. If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you can try running chkdsk to fix the HARD disk; you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc.

  a. Insert the installation disc and restart your computer.
  b. click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.
  c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

  Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see check the link for the BIOS: frequently asked questions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  e. click on repair your computer.
  f. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt
  h. type chkdsk /f / r and press ENTER.
  
  Important: when running chkdsk on the drive hard 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

  This will perform a disk check and perhaps recover the system. CHKDSK can repair problems related to bad sectors, lost clusters, reticulate files and directory errors

   

  Method 4: I suggest you run /ScanOs, /FixBoot commands from following link:

• Logical disk management does not recognize a slave drive

  I installed an internal HD as a slave. The BIOS sees the drive, Western Digital Lifeguard sees the drive (it checks OK) with the appropriate drive letter, PMagic sees the drive before starting, but the logical disk manager does not recognize the drive or the drive letter.

  Using Windows XP, SP3 with latest updates

  Hello

  1. The hard drive is recognized in another computer?

  If this isn't the case, then the problem could be the hard drive itself. If he is found, then the problem is in your computer. In this case, run the diskpart.exe utility.

  Use the list partition command and see if the partition is detected. If so, then I suggest you to format the drive in diskpart.

  However, take a return of all data on the hard drive before the format by plugging it into another computer. Help with backup data, see

  Backup: what, how, where

  http://www.Microsoft.com/protect/data/backup/about.aspx

  To use the Diskpart.exe utility, follow these steps:

  1. type diskpartand press ENTER to open the diskpart tool.

  2. type list diskand press ENTER. A list of available hard disks.

  3. type select disk =[n]

  n s Specifies the number of disc the disc to receive the focus.

  4. type list partition

  This command displays the partitions listed in the table to partition on the current drive.
  5. type select partition =[d]

  This command selects the specified partition and gives it the focus.

   d s Specifies the drive letter or mount point path of the partition to receive the focus.

  6. type format drive: / FS: NTFS/Quick

  For more information about commands, see

  A Description of the Diskpart command-line utility

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/300415

  Now you should be able to see the slave drive in Solution Explorer.

• Restart problems, error Disk Boot error, if please install disk and press a key

  Original title: problems of Reboot

  When I restart my computer it say "Disk Boot error, if please install disk and press a key:?"

  Hello

  1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  2. have you changed the BIOS boot device?

  3. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  This could be related to:

  · Startup options is not correctly defined in the BIOS

  · 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

  Change the boot order in the CMOS (BIOS) settings so that your disc is the first in the list.

  a. restart the computer.
  b. new computers often display a startup (or boot) menu. In the start menu, choose "Configuration of the BIOS," or "BIOS settings," or something similar.

  Procedures vary depending on the manufacturer of the BIOS. Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DELETE, ESC) or a combination of keys immediately after you
  turn on your computer but before Windows starts. If the Windows logo appears, you must try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer again.

  c. the BIOS configuration screen appears. On the BIOS Setup screen, choose the option called "Boot order" or something similar. Startup command settings can also be saved
  under "Advanced settings" or something similar.
  d. Select your drive from DVD or USB drive as first boot device.
  e. restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved.

  
  BIOS WARNING: modification of 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.

  Now, try the methods below.

  ==========================================

  3. try this method and you will probably need to contact the manufacturer of your system and drive manufacturer Support for
  possible firmware updates or known issues.

  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
  the question.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Original title: I'm trying to install Microsoft WSE 3.0.msi and I get error 1327.Invalid Drive: G:\

  A program I had on my computer wouldn't work the other day when I tried it.  Help on software site says he uses Microsoft WSE 3.0 runtime and to make sure it was on my computer.  It wasn't that I downloaded and tried to install it and got the same message I have original received at the start of this process.

  Hey Bill,.

  You can also try the steps in the KB Microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327763 article which has worked for some users with the installation of the software.

  Note: The steps from the link will work for any installation of software/program that uses a disk. Because the steps deal with the registry editor, we recommend that you take a backup of the registry before performing the steps. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

• Smart hard disk error: "Press enter to continue and it starts OK.

  I have run chkdsk full and sometimes without error, but at startup it says Smart hard disk error. Press ENTER to continue and it starts OK

  Go into the BIOS and run the drive Diagnostics (long version).

  Normally, when you get a SMART disk error this means imminent disk failure.  Smart drive test checks the environment of hard disk and is much more than chkdsk thorugh.

  A cautious soul would replace the disc if the diagnostic test is a failure.

  Is your laptop still under warranty?

• Movement of the bookmarks in XP to Windows 7 primary drive slave drive?

  I've updated my computer by moving my XP OS on a slave drive and now have OS Win 7 professionals in the main C drive.

  When I went to look for it for the location of the bookmarks in the XP slave drive, I couldn't find the places that were usually listed. I did the hidden files option. You simply don't know where my favorites are gone. I found the file modzilla and it contained everything except bookmarks.

  The problem is resolved. I had to go through the XP mode in order to get the Json file which I need and bingo it brought back all my favorites. I used Cor - el solution with an extra step to solve this very specific problem through the XP mode.
