I ran fixmbr too, but you don't need to contact your manufacturer for assistance.

It is extremely unlikely that any computer purchased at a store bought on this planet will have installed XP Recovery Console.

It is extremely unlikely that any computer purchased at a store bought on this planet will be accompanied by a genuine XP installation CD bootable that can be used to start the XP Recovery Console.

It's extremely likely that any manufacturer on this planet will send you an installation CD XP genuine for you can start in the Recovery Console.

It is extremely likely that the majority of the posters on the forums is not any type of bootable XP media.

It is extremely likely that the majority of the posters on the forums have never actually seen, possessed or otherwise come into contact with an XP bootable installation CD authentic in their lives, or if they already had in their possession, it is now nowhere to be found.

I wonder why never support engineers offer this idea for the Recovery Console.

(a) they do not know how
(b) they are not allowed to post anything that isn't in a KB article
(c) they are not allowed to post links to any place outside of Microsoft
(d) your idea here

You can make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console.

If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

xp_rec_con. ISO

Download the ISO from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

http://www.ImgBurn.com/

Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

Press any key to boot from CD...

Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    Just to isolate the problem, try to download a new copy of Windows 7, and then try again:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    Regarding problems with the computer itself, try to disconnect all nonessential equipment attached to it to see if the problem persists.

    I would also try switching around components such as modules of memory to see if the problem persists.

    I would also check to make sure that all components are mounted and installed correctly.

  • Computer off, showing U2913WM "there is no signal from your computer press any key on the keyboard.

    Hi all

    Any help on this incredibly annoying would be much appreciated; I googled the out of him, but without success. I have a month or so old Dell U2913WM which I am more than happy with picturewise, but he demonstrated a very annoying problem. Whenever my PC goes to sleep, or worse, when I turn off my system, the monitor goes power save mode BUT after 30 minutes or so flashes upward:
    "There is no signal from your computer. Press any key on the keyboard or move the mouse to wake him up. If there is no display, place the monitor button now to select the correct input in the on-screen Display menu source. »
    It then repeats this message every 3 minutes approximately.

    I tried to reset the options in the menu of the screen, change the PC drivers (although this may not be the issue once the PC is turned off) and checking the dual link cable DVI for bent pins. Nothing worked and he drives me crazy! I have also another 22 "Dell Ultrasharp plugged on the GTX 780 and who falls asleep without problem. Any help would be most welcome!

    Thanks :)

    OK I fixed this annoying problem. I thought I'd post here in case someone else falls on this problem.

    To remedy this I simply connected via DisplyPort and the monitor is no longer wakes himself of no apparent reason.

  • Why do I get a message saying "no disc not detected - start insert an and press any key to continue", but none of the keys work.

    When I finished installing, partitioning, and all other actions prompted for installing windows 7 with boot camp, my mac restarted all of a sudden without promote me. My 32 gb SanDisk Cruzer Blade was hooked up to an external USB hub. My screen came up with a console that says something in the sense of ' no disc of starting (or reader) detected - insert and press a key to continue. " I then plugged my FlashDrive directly in the USB interface on my Mac. Then I pushed every button on my keyboard, but nothing happened. I then force reset my Mac and retried, but alas, it didn't work. My computer is stuck here and will not respond to anything else. Any help is appreciated.

    Please, please, please! Someone who doesn't know anything also how stupid it may seem. I can't return to OS x no matter what I try. ;(

    Hello

    I found this tip in the forum:
    If the laptop uses a Toshiba BIOS this:
    When the TOSHIBA logo is shown, be very fast and press the ESC key several times.
    You should get an error message and press F1 to enter BIOS.
    Search mode power-up (or something very similar). Set it to BOOT.

    In addition, you can try to access the BIOS and set the BIOS settings by default and safe change.
    Maybe it helps.

  • My Toshiba laptop error: No. Bootable device-insert boot disk and press any key.

    When I put the bootable disc in I lost all my data. Now the problem is that I have a disk of Home Premium Windows 7 64 bit with product key number. This drive doesn't have SP1 on it, and when I tried to load the disc the message was that he could not install this drive.  This hardware of computers may not support booting to this disk.  Make sure that the drive controller is enabled in the Bios of the computer.  (I don't have the original software provided with the purchased used laptop computer).

    I called Toshiba and they said I needed a new drive and it would install for $149.00. I did not pursue it.

    Is my question there a way to get a Microsoft update disc that includes the original as well as the Service Pak data? I see several option on the web site but do not know what I can do.  It seems to me that everything I need is the service pak but cannot load the original software. Is there something in the BIOS I can change?

    Or is there another solution without buying all new software.

    Thank you

    Your PC Toshiba laptop includes a manufacturer recovery partition, and unless you have screwed up the hard drive, it should still be there and accessible...

    That's how access you... For Toshiba, press and hold the "0" BEFORE and during power-up Need you options recovery and overall the machine back exactly as it was when you bought it first.

    Several updates and hours later, you would still have a working machine. After re-installing your programs preferred and your applications, you must use the data backups made to recover what you have done on the machine since...

    It takes a lot of time, but it all works.

    An alternative...

    You can download a Windows 7 ISO, Windows 7 downloads , create a boot from it and pure media install Windows. The only catch here is that you must be able to read the sticker COST on the machine, the version of Windows and the key code. Then you re - install your favorite programs and do data backup procedure as above.

    If you have no backups of data or copies elsewhere and your Windows does not start, you need to make the drive of the machine, connect to another and copy the important of her data files, then place the player to the original host, using one of the methods above to re - install Windows...

  • computer does not restart: it remains to press any key boot from CD

    I'm having a similar problem as a posted last year, but I was wondering if there is a way to restart without the re-boot CD. don't really want to lose everything, but I have other options.  He has just arrested and handed over on me the other night and now when it opens I get the F2 or F10 but the bootable hard disk doesn't seem to work: it remains stuck on checking DMI Pool data, otherwise, it opens only with the list of PCI devices and downstairs, it says boot from CD.  Any help, ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    Put the hard drive first in the boot sequence. I recommend you contact the manufacturer of the computer.

    Warning of the BIOS:
    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 the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    I hope this helps.
