  • fix partion table error code = 0 x 490

    When you use the verification tool vista microsoft at the start of the central processing unit. I get a message that I need to fix the partition table. with error code = 0 x 490. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    This error code means generally the operating system boot loader failed - which may be caused by a number of things and can cause a number of things.

    What Vista health check tool?  There is nothing that I know of who called in Vista.  What do you mean exactly - that is - this really called (maybe the Startup Repair tool)?  Please post EXACT and entire message Word for Word (including this and all other codes).

    What are the versions of Vista that you use?  When did you start this problem?  After the message, you can use your computer or you are unable to access the system?  If you are unable to start up normally, have you tried booting in safe mode - if not, try it.  How many disks and partitions of how much you have on your computer (in case of doubt, we will try to check later)?  You have a plant Vista genuine disc or only a manufacturer recovery disk?  You have multiple operating systems installed or just Vista?

    I suspect I know what is happening and what needs to be done, but your answers to the above will help to confirm.  I don't want to give you a recommendation until I am sure that I understand the situation because the erroneous suggestion can not only useless, but can possibly do worse and I certainly want to avoid this.  So I need your help for more information and answers to questions above.

  • MBR is corrupted, not able to repair the MBR and get error code 0 x 490

    Original title: MBR is corrupted

    MBR is corrupt repair action: repair disk metadata - result: failed - error code = 0 x 490

    Hello

    According to the description, I understand that you are not able to repair the Master Boot Record (MBR) and getting the error is 0 x 490.

    I suggest that you want to run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1: Execution of restarting the Windows recovery environment (WinRE)

    To run the repair to start the Windows recovery environment (WinRE), follow these steps:

    1. Insert the Windows installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. When the message press any key to start from the CD or DVD is displayed, press a key.
      If your PC does not automatically detect the media

    • When the computer reboots, read on screen for instructions that explain how to interrupt normal startup and access the basic input/output system (BIOS) configuration utility. Most PCs use the F2, F10, ESC or del key to start the configuration of the BIOS.

    • Looking for a tab in the BIOS configuration utility that is labeled boot order, The Options of Bootor Boot. By following the instructions on the screen, use the arrow keys to go to the boot order, and then press ENTER.

    • Locate the flash USB, DVD or CD player (this could be called removable device) in the startup list. By following the instructions on the screen, use the arrow keys to move the drive to the top so that it appears first in the startup list. Press ENTER. The startup command sequence is now changed to boot from the flash drive, CD, DVD, or USB.

    • Press F10 to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup utility. Select Yes in the confirmation window. The PC will restart.

    1. Select a language, a time and a currency, a keyboard or input method, and then click Next.

    2. Click on repair your computer.

    3. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, select the drive of your Windows installation, and then click Next.

    4. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click on repair your computer.

    5. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Startup Repair.

    For more information about System Recovery Options, see What are the system recovery options in Windows?

    For more information about the Startup Repair, see Startup Repair: frequently asked questions.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files): https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows7?WA=wsignin1.0

    Method 2

    If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start the recovery Windows (WINRE) environment . To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

  • Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

  • Click repair your computer.

  • Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

  • In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

  • Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

  • "Item not found" and "490"for an unknown error Code

    I get "Element Not Found" and "Code 490," when I try to download Windows Vista Service Pack 2 on my computer.  I deleted unnecessary files on my computer to make sure there is space enough for the download, and I tried to download Windows Vista Service Pack 2 directly from the Microsoft site.  I tried the option of system analysis tool, too.  None of the things I've tried so far has worked.  Any guidance you could give me would be great.

This support, initially planned to end on November 26, 2009, has been postponed until February 26, 2010, so move on! Availability of support chat or messaging differs depending on your location.

    Original title: help

    Hi my computer constantly breaks down on startup.  I get error code 0 x 490.  He also tells me I don't have enough RAM and anything else he can think.  I rebooted in safe mode, do the F8 thing, completely erase the hard drive and again, moved RAM to virtual RAM disk and usually do what is recommended on the way.  The machine works well for 1 or 2 days, and then it starts again.

  • card NIC error code 10 (82567 gigabit with intel)

    Hello. I have a system of HPE 490 with the motherboard the infamous truckee. I had some problem with break recognizing my RAM but solved that with the update of the bios and reset Board by removing the battery.

    I'm now impossible to connect directly via the ethernet CAT 6 to the internet, can use the wifif.  I get an error code 10. I (and I'm sorry because I had to do it from work and do not have the practical exact specifications) the Intel NIC 82567 which I think can now be integrated into the Board of Directors? Even though I said HP I wanted THAT NOTHING built like I wanted updates easy.

    I say this even thjough, I saw a lot on the Internet about this NETWORK adapter and drivers works do not with windows 7 but also will say that all of my problems started the night of a lightning storm. My neighbors tree was hit by lightning so I don't know that if the static charge from that fried the NIC card or not, everything else is fine.

    I have a new card NETWORK card to use, but not slots to plug in my graphics card fan cover the only open PCI slot.  I have a card in a pci slot which has two tiny tabs (not the usual connection to the pci) and has a wire soldered to it and a thin cord that plugs into. I thought it was the intel NIC, but heard it was the wifi card instead? My NETWORK card is a part of the baord / integrated? ID just love pulling that and place the new network card but really not sure what it is and why it is configured this way.

    Any ideas? Can existing NETWORK map be saved?

    Thank you

    Lee

    You are the very welcome.

    I don't know of any HP PC that does not come with a built-in NETWORK card, and will be difficult to find any motherboard on the market without one.

    Gone are the times where you add maps for all devices (graphics, audio, communication, etc.).

    Unfortunately, I do not have knowledge about what other motherboards you might install in your model.

    I only use HP business desktop computers and portable computers, and when I "grow" them, I give away the "old" and buy a newer model.
